ABRWF Chapter 310.2

Jiang Nanshu gazed silently at the stone for a long time. As expected of the home of Hong Kong’s richest man, they even used jade to pave the floor!

Moreover, the area is vast, stretching all the way to the main gate; the renovations alone cost over 100 million yuan.

She couldn’t imagine how lively and cheerful the place would be if a thief arrived. (T/N: LOL!!! What an interesting point of view~)

“Please sit in the living room for a while. This house is usually just for my wife and me, so please make yourselves at home. I’m going to check on her situation.” Zhou Zhenghui said this before leaving.

It wouldn’t be a problem even if he left them in the living room; the servants were there to take care of them, so he wasn’t worried.

Jiang Leyi rubbed her hands nervously. The maid poured her a cup of scented tea, and she politely accepted it, saying, “Thank you.”

Then she surveyed the large villa.

The interior decoration features European-style relief carving, giving it a magnificent and grand appearance.

There are two spiral staircases directly in front, with a chandelier inlaid with diamonds hanging in the middle. Next to the television is a tall ebony shelf filled with antiques.

Although there were many large items, there were also quite a few smaller ones.

Jiang Leyi shook her head and said, “Mr. Zhou is truly confident in our presence here, not worried we might steal these treasures. Look at that antique vase with golden plum blossoms at the top. It’s worth three hundred million. There are only three in the world: one in a museum in Country Y, one in a museum in China, and the other right here.”

Jiang Nanshu glanced around, then looked at the servants who appeared to be working, but whose eyes were actually fixed on them.

She smiled, “Perhaps the bodyguards would burst in just as you were putting it in your clothes.”

She didn’t want to linger in these places.

She said to Jiang Leyi, “I want to wander around the villa.”

It was certainly not appropriate to wander around in someone else’s house for the first time, but Jiang Leyi was also worried Jiang Nanshu would get bored, so she asked the servants.

The servant agreed, but she would have to show her around because some rooms were off-limits.

Jiang Nanshu nodded.

The maid led the way, with Jiang Nanshu following half a step behind, and they began to tour the villa.

The maid began by recounting the villa’s history. It had been built a hundred years ago and had been renovated several times. According to the Zhou family tradition, the house had to be renovated every time a new head of the family took over.

Jiang Nanshu followed her up the stairs. Zhou Yanxu was a person who liked traditional Chinese style. If it were his house, he would plant crabapple trees all over the outside, just like when he bought a courtyard house in Beijing and made it spring-like all year round.

“Has this house always been in this European style?” Jiang Nanshu asked softly.

The servants thought that Jiang Nanshu was beautiful and had a good temper. She kept her distance from things, didn’t touch things, and behaved in a good manner, which gave her a lot of peace of mind.

So she was happy to chat with her, “There were several styles of houses in the past. This villa was only renovated a few years ago. This kind of house is safer. The old one was prone to fire.”

Jiang Nanshu looked at her curiously, “Auntie, what do you mean? The old house was a traditional-style house, and it caught fire?”

The maid couldn’t help but glance at her. Seeing her bewildered expression, it was clear she hadn’t inquired about past news about the Zhou family.

She sighed regretfully, “Yes, I’ve only worked here for three years. I heard that the previous batch of people were all fired. Later, I found out that it was because the mansion caught fire for no reason, which burned the former head of the family to death. Half of the house was burned down, then it was all demolished, and this villa was built instead.”
