The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife - Chapter 107
Chapter 107
Kang Liang heard this and felt a bit excited, as he had actually met the real person.
When the car arrived at Kang Guopeng’s house, Kang’s mother had already come out to welcome them. Shen Yin carried Zhengzheng out of the car, while Kang Guopeng was sitting in the living room, dressed very formally, looking visibly nervous.
Kang Liang dragged his suitcase and walked to Kang’s mother, asking cautiously, “Mom, how did you get to know them?”
Kang’s mother was startled by the way Kang Liang spoke and wondered if this woman was a swindler.
“What’s wrong, Liang? Is there something wrong with her?”
Shen Yin was about to enter the house while carrying Zhengzheng, and Kang Liang remained silent when he saw them coming.
“Auntie,” Shen Yin called out.
“Who is this?” Kang’s mother looked at the child in Shen Yin’s arms and asked.
“This is my child,” Shen Yin answered.
Kang’s mother was stunned. She thought this young lady had told her about getting married last time, but it seemed like she was rejected. Yet this time, she brought a child with her.
“You look so young, not at all like someone who has been married before.”
“Mommy is young,” Zhengzheng chimed in.
“Oh, this child is so well-behaved and handsome. Come in, everyone.”
Shen Yin put Zhengzheng down and noticed that the air conditioning was already turned on as they entered the house.
Kang Guopeng stood up, looking visibly uncomfortable.
Shen Yin whispered a few words to Zhengzheng, telling him to behave and not to speak unless asked.
“I have listed all the details here for you to take a look,” Shen Yin handed him a document.
Kang Guopeng took it and started reading it.
Kang Liang pulled Kang’s mother into the inner room and closed the door, asking, “Mom, how did you get to know them?”
Kang’s mother looked puzzled. “Liang, do you mean she’s a swindler? I’ll go tell your father right away.”
Kang’s mother was about to go out, but Kang Liang grabbed her arm and said, “She’s not a swindler. Her family has assets worth billions. What would they swindle from us?”
“Billions of assets?” Kang’s mother couldn’t believe it.
“Yes.”Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin(.)c/o𝒎
“She took the initiative to find your father and said she wanted to do business with him, to have him make furniture. What does her family do?”
“Her husband is the boss of a famous group in Rong City. Her family is in real estate, hotels, and some equipment businesses.”
“That’s impressive. When she came last time, I even asked her to cook. What should I do now?” Kang’s mother realized her mistake.
Kang Liang also found it unbelievable. “Mom, do you know that child? The TV series he’s acting in is currently popular.”
Kang’s mother felt she hadn’t properly entertained them last time and needed to cook more dishes this time.
“Liang, let’s not talk about it anymore. I’ll go cook.” Kang’s mother hurried out, and Kang Liang followed her.
Zhengzheng heard the sound of the door opening, turned around, tugged at his pant leg, put his hands beside his head, and smiled. Then he walked over. Kang Liang felt excited, thinking how adorable this little doll was standing in front of him. If he told his roommates about this, they would be so jealous.
“You mean I can work on furniture at home?” Kang Guopeng could hardly believe it. He had already prepared to go out, and just a while ago, Kang’s mother had told him to take care of himself when living alone and not to miss home. But now he could work at home.
“Yes, this kind of woodworking cannot be rushed. It requires patience and the ability to endure loneliness, so there aren’t many craftsmen like you left. I also know that a set of furniture may take more than half a year to make, so it’s not a solution for you and your wife to live apart.”
“Miss, why are you so devoted to this kind of furniture? Although one set can sell for hundreds of thousands, it’s time-consuming and laborious, not very profitable.”
“Not just tens of thousands, at least hundreds of thousands. I also know that although it makes money, when you calculate the time spent, the profit is not that high. But I feel it’s a culture that needs to be passed down. You can take a look at the design drawings first.”
Kang Guopeng took the drawings and examined them carefully. To his surprise, compared to his previous designs, they were not even worth mentioning.
“Did you draw these?” Kang Guopeng asked.
“Yes, they are my original creations. You don’t need to worry about plagiarism,” Shen Yin said.
Kang Guopeng naturally knew that he had never seen such exquisite and ancient furniture designs before. If he could make them, they would definitely find buyers and might even start a trend.
Outstanding culture always needs to be passed down. In museums across the country, there are not many well-preserved ancient furniture pieces made using traditional methods, and almost none of them are exquisite.
Shen Yin based her designs on the furniture she remembered from the mansions of high-ranking officials and the general’s mansion, which could be considered elegant.
She approached Kang Guopeng because his craftsmanship was inherited from his ancestors, so he should know many traditional manufacturing methods.
In this fast-paced era, skills and craftsmanship have become increasingly precious.
“Alright, Miss, you not only have money in mind but also sentiment and a sense of responsibility as a youth of this era. Rest assured, I will follow the drawings and make the furniture with utmost care.”
Kang Guopeng agreed. It was the first time he had seen such stunning designs. If he could make such exquisite furniture, he would feel a sense of accomplishment. He also understood that the furniture carried a handicraft that was on the verge of being lost.
Meanwhile, Kang Liang had started playing with Zhengzheng. He even thought of taking a photo to show off to his roommates but dismissed the idea, considering it might invade their privacy.
“What’s your name?” Kang Liang asked.
“Zhengzheng, Xu Yunzheng.”
“And you?”
Zhengzheng wasn’t shy anymore and asked boldly.
“I’m Kang Liang.”
“Like the moon’s light?” Zhengzheng asked.
“Yes.” Kang Liang didn’t expect such a young child to ask that.
“Kang Moonlight,” Zhengzheng said again.
Shen Yin turned around, not quite catching it, and thought Zhengzheng wanted to see the moon.
“Zhengzheng, there’s no moon during the day. We’ll look at it tonight.”
“Mom, he’s called Kang Moonlight.”
“Zhengzheng, you should be polite and call him uncle,” Shen Yin reminded him. She actually wanted Zhengzheng to call Kang Liang “older brother,” but with Kang’s parents around, it would be confusing the generation order.
If it were before, Kang Liang would be annoyed if someone called him “uncle,” but now he was delighted. The adorable little baby in front of him was calling him “uncle.”
“Miss, why don’t you have lunch here?” Kang Guopeng suggested.
Shen Yin actually wanted to go back since the driver was still outside, but after Kang Guopeng, who looked like her great-grandfather, said that, she didn’t want to refuse.
“Okay.”
After settling the matter, Zhengzheng wanted to go out and play. He had never experienced this kind of house with a small courtyard garden where various vegetables were grown, and he was very curious.
“Mom, I want to go out and play.”
“It’s too hot, Zhengzheng. You’ll get tanned,” Shen Yin thought it was too hot outside.
“I have an umbrella,” Zhengzheng pointed to the umbrella near the door.
