Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Don’t Keep the Young Master Waiting
“What party?” Ye Shu had wanted to ask for specifics, but Mr. Sheng had already hung up the phone.
Seeing that it was still early, Ye Shu fell back into a drowsy sleep.
When she awoke again and groggily glanced at the wall clock, she first froze for a second and then jumped off the sofa in fright!
The hands on the clock were nearing half-past nine!
Ye Shu hurried to freshen up, not even changing her clothes before the phone started ringing…
She had thought Sheng Shaochen would co back to pick her up personally, but descending the stairs, she found that Guan Jiu was already waiting.
“Miss Ye, why did you co down dressed like that?” Guan Jiu asked in surprise.
“What, doesn’t it look good?” Ye Shu thought it looked quite nice. Mainly because she had overslept, afraid of being lectured by the elders, she had just grabbed a Yves Saint Laurent chiffon dress to drape over herself before coming down.
“No, it looks very good.” Guan Jiu had wanted to say sothing more, but glancing at his watch, he said, “Please get in the car, Lady Ye Shu, let’s not keep the young master waiting too long.”
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a detached villa in the bustling center of Jin City.
“Where is this?” Ye Shu had passed by here before, only thinking that this family must be mighty impressive, owning such a pri piece of real estate amid expensive land where high rises lood all around, yet this particular area, spanning a hundred thousand square ters, was walled off into a villa district.
Moreover, the villa was surrounded by plots without public roads, making it a rare quiet spot in the bustling city.
So had estimated that if such a large piece of land were sold, it would be valued at no less than a hundred billion, but the hoowner had always kept it for residential use, indicating that the owner was no ordinary rich man.
“Lady Ye Shu, you didn’t know?” Guan Jiu explained, “This is the ancestral land of the Sheng Family. Though parts of the house have been renovated, this land was left behind by the Sheng ancestors. This is the Sheng Family Old Mansion.”
“Oh…” Ye Shu walked a few steps forward and indeed saw the large gate within the imposing walls, with two large lacquered characters: Sheng Residence! “Please enter, Lady Ye Shu, the young master is waiting,” Guan Jiu said, gesturing inside.
“Guan Jiu, aren’t you coming in with ?” Faced with the extraordinary grandeur of the mansion, Ye Shu felt a bit uneasy.
“No, I shouldn’t,” Guan Jiu replied, “Besides, I have other matters to attend to. You’ll be fine by yourself.”
At the entrance, two doorn, similar to those at a five-star hotel, saw Ye Shu approach, opened the door proactively, and bowed, saying, “Welco.”
After Ye Shu passed through the mansion gate, she was t with a vista that broke open to astonishnt!
She had always imagined the luxury hidden within the walls would be beyond imagination; sure enough, once inside, shady green paths, buildings of various architectural styles, and scenic spots dazzled her eyes a bit. There were three main roads alone, leaving her a bit confused about which one to take.
In her indecision, she took out a coin and tossed it…
anwhile, in the center of a traditional opera garden to the west of the Sheng Family Old Mansion, Shaochen, typically seen by the public in his cool and aloof deanor, had put aside that image. Now, he was the dutiful and sensible eldest grandchild of the Sheng Family, who had co specially to accompany Main Grandmother Sheng to watch a play for her birthday.
Today was Grandma’s grand 70th birthday, so aside from the Sheng Family mbers, those fortunate enough to be invited were unrelated to social status. Be they rich or poor, they were all people who had deep connections with the great-grandmother.
