Chapter 597: Visit
"Everything is ready. Once Shu Wen comes over, we can set off."
Su Yunjie took out the jasmine tea prepared by Lu Ye and placed it on the coffee table.
"Wouldn't our gift be too simple if we only take a few cans of tea?" Su Mengyao said, looking at the gift box on the coffee table.
"They have a large family and a lot of wealth, so they have all kinds of good things. What we send is just a token of our appreciation, and they definitely don't want anything from us."
"Besides, this tea is not ordinary tea. My brother-in-law prepared the most expensive jasmine tea sold by Zhang Yiyuan, a time-honored brand in Yanjing. It's not cheap either."
Su Yunjie said with a solemn vow.
Lu Ye changed his clothes and walked out of the room.
The ironed suit was very straight and the leather shoes were polished to a shine.
Ding dong...
Lu Ye straightened his clothes and heard the doorbell. He guessed that it must be Shu Wen coming.
"Shu Wen should be here, let's go."
Su Yunjie opened the door and it was Shu Wen outside.
"Ms. Shu, you are here. We are all ready and have been waiting for you." Su Yunjie imitated the Hong Kong accent and greeted Shu Wen with a smile.
"You speak Cantonese well, you learn pretty quickly." Shu Wen responded with a smile to Su Yunjie's joke.
"I'm sorry that you have to pick us up when we come to visit." Lu Ye said.
"As I should. You don't know Hong Kong well, and a taxi can't take you to our house, so I have to come here."
Shu Wen looked at Lu Ye. Lu Ye, dressed in a suit, still exuded the aura of a successful man. There was a hint of elegance in his every move, which was very charming.
This also made Shu Wen take a few more glances.
"Then let's set off now." Lu Ye picked up the gift box on the table and said to everyone.
Everyone walked out of the hotel and got into the Rolls-Royce car one by one.
The car had just started and set off when a black sedan started up and quickly caught up on the side of the road not far from the hotel entrance.
······
Half an hour later, Rolls' car returned to the Shu family villa.
The grand gate opened and the car drove straight in.
The huge garden and beautiful greenery surprised Su Yunjie and his friends as soon as they got out of the car.
Compared with the Shu family's manor-style villa, the courtyard villa where their family lives is not on the same level at all.
"Wow, Shu Wen, your house is so big!" Su Yunjie exclaimed.
In this huge lawn garden, there are several gardeners working, trimming low shrubs to make the yard look more beautiful.
"Let's go in." Shu Wen smiled and stretched out her hand to invite several people in.
Lu Ye looked around the luxurious villa.
To be honest, even when Lu Ye's wealth reached its peak in his previous life, the place where he lived was far from comparable to here.
Whether in terms of value or architectural culture, it is far inferior.
And this is the foundation of a family.
Lu Ye followed Shu Wen and walked into the villa.
At the double doors of the villa, two maids in maid uniforms opened a door on each side, leaned forward slightly and lowered their heads, respectfully waiting for Lu Ye and the others to step through the door.
Such a scene made Su Yunjie very surprised.
He had only seen similar scenes in costume TV dramas, and this was the first time he had seen such a scene in real life.
You should know that the word "servant" is almost extinct in the mainland today.
After all, only capitalists and wealthy landowners had servants in their homes, and this was considered exploitation.
After the baptism of turbulent times, these old things have long been gone.
But despite his curiosity, Su Yunjie also knew that this was Hong Kong, a capitalist world.
Since he was in someone else's house, even if he was curious, he wouldn't be so stupid as to show anything.
Su Mengyao also looked at the surrounding environment with curiosity.
It was also the first time she had seen such a large villa, which really broadened her horizons.
Lu Ye walked into the villa. There were no gorgeous crystal chandeliers. The walls and floors were paved with huanghuali wood and mahogany.
All kinds of furniture inside are also traditional Chinese furniture.
Many of them looked very old, and Lu Ye could clearly tell that these items were probably from the mainland.
"Miss."
The butler, Uncle De, was waiting in the hallway to greet the guests. Seeing that they had already entered, he began to greet them.
"Uncle De, these are my guests. They came here specially to visit my grandfather." Shu Wen said.
"Hello, distinguished guests."
"The master is in the study. Please come in, distinguished guests. I will go and invite the master right away." Uncle De said to Lu Ye and others.
Under the guidance of Uncle De, Lu Ye and the other two went to the living room to wait.
As soon as the people arrived, servants immediately brought them tea, fruits and snacks.
Su Yunjie sat on the sofa, picked up a pastry that looked very delicious, and started eating it.
Uncle De went to the study to invite Mr. Shu.
There was no one else in the living room, so Su Yunjie finally felt comfortable speaking:
"Shu Wen, your family is really a big capitalist. I haven't even seen such a big house on TV."
"This was passed down from our ancestors and is considered the ancestral home of our Shu family."
Shu Wen smiled and said, "The land in Hong Kong is leased in batches, with the longest lease term being 999 years. Thanks to our ancestors, we, their descendants, can live here."
"Fuck, 999 years? What's the difference between that and permanent use? It's only been over 100 years since the Qing government ceded Hong Kong...hiss..."
Su Yunjie was so surprised when he heard this that he gasped in surprise.
Shu Wen looked at Lu Ye and said softly:
"My grandfather knew you were coming, so he asked the chef to prepare some Hong Kong-style ingredients. We'll eat at home later so you can enjoy some traditional Hong Kong cuisine."
"Okay, then we won't be polite. I'm a professional at eating and drinking for free." Lu Ye said with a hint of humor.
Soon, an old man with mixed black and white hair walked out from the other side of the living room.
And Uncle De was right behind this old man.
"Hehe..." As soon as he reached the edge of the living room, Mr. Shu burst into laughter.
Seeing the person coming, Lu Ye and others stood up hurriedly.
"grandfather."
Seeing her grandfather coming, Shu Wen happily greeted him, held Grandpa Shu's arm, and began to introduce him to the old man.
"Grandpa, this is Lu Ye. Our farm project is going so smoothly thanks to his help."
"Besides, he saved me twice. He's my great benefactor!"
Old Master Shu looked straight at Lu Ye with a sharp gaze.
There was no sign of blur in Old Sang's eyes, as if he could see through Lu Ye.
"Hello, Mr. Shu, I'm Lu Ye."
"Thanks to your many assistances, we are honored to come to Hong Kong and visit you specially to express our gratitude to you personally."
