Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 505

As the car entered the estate, Yao Ran caught sight of a grand mansion in the distance. Judging by its size and appearance, it had been built fairly recently.

Once the driver parked in front of the main entrance, bodyguards wearing black combat suits stepped forward to open the doors for Yao Ran and Long Zhan.

Stepping out of the car, Long Zhan waited for Yao Ran before saying, "Young Lady, this way, please."

As they ascended the mansion steps, servants bowed to Long Zhan on both sides and greeted him. "Welcome back, Eldest Young Master."

Yao Ran’s eyes flickered with ridicule at the scene. Despite being a wealthy family for generations, even her Yao family never indulged in such pomp. Observing the servants’ thin frames, she suspected their wages were far from generous.

As Long Zhan walked into the mansion, he looked at the butler who had come to welcome him and asked, "Is Grandfather awake?"

The butler bowed slightly and replied politely, "Yes, Eldest Young Master. The Old Master has been waiting for the guest in the tea room."

Upon hearing this, Long Zhan said, "Go and inform the kitchen staff to prepare more dishes."

The butler glanced at Yao Ran and immediately understood that Long Zhan placed great importance on her based on his command. Lowering his gaze, he responded, "Understood. I will arrange it immediately."

After the butler left, Long Zhan led Yao Ran to the tea room. Knocking on the door, Long Zhan politely said, "Grandfather, I have invited the young lady."

A second later, a calm voice responded from inside. "Come in."

Long Zhan slid open the door and stepped aside. He smiled at Yao Ran and said, "Young Lady, please."

As Yao Ran entered the tea room, she noticed that Long Zhan did not follow her in.

Seeing her glance at the now-closed door, the old man smiled and said, "Young Lady, please have a seat."

At his invitation, Yao Ran turned around and sat down in front of him. While the old man poured a cup of tea for her, she observed him closely.

The old man placed the small porcelain teacup in front of Yao Ran and gestured for her to take a sip.

Following the etiquette taught by her grandfather, Yao Ran picked up the teacup, took a sniff of the tea, and then sipped it slowly.

After tasting the tea, she gently placed the teacup on the teacup coaster and commented, "The flavor is light, yet it leaves a lingering taste. It’s good tea."

Upon hearing this, the old man’s smile deepened. "The young lady is still quite young, yet she knows how to appreciate tea. You must come from a prestigious old family."

Yao Ran always adhered to a principle. She did not strike unless provoked. Seeing the old man sitting there drinking tea, Yao Ran decided to ask him what he wanted from her.

Making her decision, Yao Ran calmly responded, "My Yao family is still not as prestigious as the Long family, Old Master. Instead of discussing unimportant matters, why don’t you tell me the real reason you invited me here?"

Hearing her directness, Old Master Long chuckled.
