Tan Ming nodded slightly and replied gently, “Hello, Uncle Li.”
This polite response made Li Chen heave a sigh of relief. He felt much more at ease. “Sir, Madam, Miss, the car is ready. Please get in.”
The group got into the extended MPV. The driver and the two crew members were in charge of packing the suitcases and putting them in the trunk of the car.
The runway was half a kilometer away from the main building of the old mansion. Tall French sycamores were planted on both sides of the road. The rest of the place was filled with lawns and flowerbeds.
Tan Ming asked curiously, “Mom, this mountain is huge. Are there other villas here?”
Li Mei explained to Tan Ming, “There are 11 more. The villa area here has some history. It has existed for a hundred years. The best location of this villa area is actually at the top of the mountain. There’s only one family there, and they own this villa area.”
Tan Ming’s eyes darted around. “This mountain belongs to their family? Doesn’t that mean they’re rich landlords!”
Li Mei chuckled when she heard this description. Jiang Hai interrupted and took this opportunity to explain briefly to his daughter. “You can say that the villa area here actually is like a small pyramid.”
Tan Ming quickly understood. “So are all the richest people in the country staying here?”
Jiang Hai replied, “I don’t dare to say that I’m the richest, but the richest and most powerful people do live here. Although Xiyun is located in the southwest, it’s spring all year round. It’s the most comfortable city in the country to live in. Therefore, the people who buy houses here might not be locals like us. For example, the landlord you mentioned just now. Their family’s roots are in Jingdu City. In the past, our ancestors bought the land here and passed it down from generation to generation. Later on, they developed the villa area project.”
“Actually, it’s more appropriate to call our family’s old residence in Xiyun the ancestral residence. 50 years ago, because of the transfer of the company’s business, your great-grandfather moved to Jingdu City with our Jiang family. We treated that place as our old residence.”
Tan Ming nodded in understanding.
The car stopped at the entrance of the villa. The servants were already standing in two rows, with men and women standing separately. There were about a dozen of them.
Li Chen introduced the names and responsibilities of the servants to Tan Ming one by one. Tan Ming remembered them carefully.
This was the first time they had met, but the other servants did not dare to slack off at all like Li Chen.
After a simple introduction, Li Mei pulled Tan Ming into the house. The moment they entered, what greeted them was a huge spiral staircase that separated the dining room from the living room. It was very wide, three times the size of the Si family’s living room.
The Si family’s old residence was the richest place Tan Ming had seen before she returned to the Jiang family. Hence, no matter what she saw, she would subconsciously use the Si family as a comparison.
The nannies who were carrying the babies had also broadened her horizons this time. The two of them suppressed the joy in their hearts and communicated crazily through the corner of their eyes.
“After doing this, I’ll have the right to brag when I go back to the company and see the other girls!”
“That’s right. We’re not ordinary confinement maids anymore. We’re confinement maids who have taken a private plane!”
“Calm down, calm down. We have to perform well. If Madam and Miss are satisfied with our service, they might introduce us to other families who need confinement maids next time!”
“That’s right. You’re thinking ahead. Although the Jiang family’s remuneration is the same as the previous main families, the gifts they usually give us occasionally are already almost half a month’s salary. We’ve never received such treatment before. We have to work hard! We have to strive to get into the confinement nanny circle of the wealthy!”
After the exchange, the two of them smiled at each other and nodded secretly to encourage each other.
Behind the dining room was the kitchen. There were only so many functional areas on the first floor. Next was the second floor. There was a study room on the second floor, as well as Li Mei and Jiang Hai’s master bedroom. Next to it was Tan Ming’s bedroom, and at the side was the temporarily vacated nursery.
Tan Ming pushed open the nursery room first. The yellow color was warm and bright. In the middle were two cribs side by side. On the left and right side of the wall were two wooden beds prepared for the confinement nannies. Although it was only a temporary residence, there was a solid wooden wardrobe of the same color. There was an en-suite bathroom in the room for them to use.
After looking at the nursery, Li Mei couldn’t wait to pull Tan Ming to the room that she had decorated for her. There was a large balcony in the bedroom. At this moment, the window was open, and the afternoon sun’s breeze blew over. The entire room looked fresh and bright. Tan Ming liked that balcony very much. She quickly walked in and raised her head slightly to feel the gentle breeze on her face..
