Hong Kong variety show, I am a charming cop.

Chapter 465 The Boudoir

Lu Yao's small room looked much cleaner.

The room was filled with the unique atmosphere of youth.

A single bed was neatly made, with a light pink sheet printed with tiny floral patterns, and a slightly worn teddy bear placed next to the pillow.

The desk was right next to the bed, with several textbooks and notebooks neatly stacked on it. The cover of the top book was carefully decorated with colorful tape, and the corners were slightly curled, indicating that it was frequently read.

The walls were covered with yellowed celebrity posters—Leslie Cheung's melancholy profile in "Days of Being Wild," Leon Lai's bright and sunny smile, and several clippings of Hong Kong stars whose names I can no longer recall.

The edges of the poster were slightly curled up and were carefully re-secured with transparent tape.

A small scented candle sat on the bedside table, burned down to half its original size, emitting a faint sweet scent of lavender mixed with citrus.

There was a row of trinkets on the windowsill: several cute erasers, a glass bottle containing lucky stars, and a few yellowed photo booth pictures.

The desk drawer was half-open, revealing colorful stickers and colored ballpoint pens inside.

Although the room was simple, it was filled with the delicate thoughts of a young girl, and even the air seemed softer than elsewhere.

Occasionally a breeze would blow in, causing the posters on the wall to sway gently and make a rustling sound.

Lu Yao said, "My dad died in a car accident five years ago, leaving my mom to raise my brother and me alone. My brother was naughty from a young age. He liked playing computer games and didn't like doing homework. As for me, I was bullied at school. Everyone said I was a wild child with a mother but no father."

"Brother Jian, do you look down on me too?"

Li Jian didn't speak, but expressed his thoughts through his actions.

He reached out and pulled Lu Yao into his arms; the small boudoir was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Li Jian embraced Lu Yao, resting his chin on her forehead, breathing in her unique girlish scent.

Lu Yao seemed to have found a peaceful haven, listening attentively to Li Jianqiang's strong and powerful heartbeat.

Count it up.

Li Jian wasn't much older than her, but he possessed an indescribable maturity and experience that made Lu Yao feel the warmth of a father.

For a girl who lacks a father's love, it's like a deadly poison.

Li Jian asked, "Do you want to do it again at home?"

Lu Yao blushed and said, "You're so mean! My mom's still outside. If she hears this, she'll definitely come in with a knife and chop you up."

Li Jian thought about Ruan Yuehua for a moment, and realized that she was really capable of doing such a thing.

They might even use the Dog-Beating Stick Technique or the Finger Flicking Skill.

Li Jian said, "I see there's a building under construction nearby called Lu Guo Group. It's a large Sino-Hong Kong joint venture. If you sell your land to Lu Guo Group, you'll have the money to move out."

Lu Yao sighed and said, "That's true, but my mother is stubborn. She says that land is for growing things, not for buying and selling. Moreover, my father left behind 150 acres of land before he died, and my mother rented it out, charging only a very low rent each year, which is not even enough to cover my brother's and my tuition fees."

Li Jian nodded.

Rural people can sometimes be very stubborn in their thinking.

Lu Yao said, "But I'm not a boy, otherwise I could sell my son's rights."

Li Jian asked, "What is Ding Quan?"

Lu Yao said, "No way, Brother Jian, are you from Hong Kong? You don't even know Ding Quan?"

“However, this is normal. If you don’t live in the New Territories, very few people know about the Ding right. This regulation only applies to male indigenous people in the New Territories. Their sons can apply to build a three-story house with each floor not exceeding 700 square feet after they turn 18. This is called a Ding house.”

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, Li Jian immediately became interested.

Can Dingwu be bought and sold?

Lu Yao nodded and said, "Of course it's possible. In the past few days, several people surnamed Lu from the village have been buying land rights. All you need to do is pay the land price to the government and get their written consent."

Land on Hong Kong Island is extremely valuable, probably because the island is mostly mountainous, making land suitable for building houses even rarer and somewhat pitiful.

Since the 80s, Hong Kong Island has strictly controlled the approval of land for housing construction, and rarely approves new residential land.

However, residents of Hong Kong Island are raising their housing requirements day by day.

This has led to residents of Hong Kong Island having more and more money, but the growth rate of housing prices cannot keep up with the growth rate of residents' savings.

The immediate consequence was that Hong Kong Island property prices skyrocketed, changing every single day.

Li Jian then asked, "Shouldn't the acquisition of Ding Quan be handled by the Lu Guo Group? How come it's someone from your own village?"

Lu Yao shook her head and said, "I don't know about that, but I heard from my mother that the CEO of Lu Guo Group is the former village chief. He has a daughter named Lu Yongyu, and Lu Yongyu is now in charge of the company's business."

Lu Yao clearly didn't care about these things.

Just as Li Jian was about to ask a few more questions, Ruan Yuehua's voice came from outside: "Stop chatting, come out and eat!"

Dinner was simple.

Four dishes and one soup.

Stir-fried beef with bean sprouts, Mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed pork ribs with winter melon, and a seaweed soup.

To be fair, my cheap mother-in-law's cooking skills are indeed quite good.

Aside from the food not being the best, the taste was still top-notch.

"I heard from Yao Yao that you are her boyfriend?" Ruan Yuehua served Li Jian a large bowl of rice.

Li Jian nodded and said, "I guess so."

Ruan Yuehua frowned: "Yes or no, what do you mean by 'consider it'? My daughter comes from an innocent family and would never be someone's mistress."

Li Jian said, "Of course not, but I don't have any plans to get married right now."

Ruan Yuehua said, "Nonsense, my daughter is still in junior high school. If she dares to get married, I'll break her legs."

"By the way, you two haven't slept together yet, have you?"

cough cough-

Li Jian never expected Ruan Yuehua to be so fierce, immediately poking his own lungs out.

Lu Yao couldn't help but complain, "Hey, Mom, we're eating. Why are you asking these questions?"

Lu Yao picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in Li Jian's bowl.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuehua couldn't help but shake her head: "Sons grow up and are no longer under their mother's control, and neither do daughters."

"It's a pity your father died early, otherwise he wouldn't have let you go astray at such a young age."

Li Jian said, "Aunt Hua, I don't think we can look at things that way. Although Lu Yao is still young, she is sensible and knows when to advance and retreat. She has her own ability to distinguish right from wrong. It's just that society is too responsible. You're afraid that she will suffer losses."

However, with me here, Lu Yao will absolutely not go astray.

Ruan Yuehua glanced at him and said, "It's useless to just talk big. Anyone can talk big. What makes you think you can guarantee it?"
