Chapter 588: There is no regret medicine in the world 4
After pressing the brake of the Audi TT, Xiao Xueqing sat quietly in the car and looked around.
This area, located on the top of the mountain in Hong Kong, is famous for its prime location.
Tall trees and walls blocked most of the view, and only the exquisite roofs that occasionally peeked out from the slits told her that there were wealthy villas hidden inside.
Although this is prosperous Hong Kong, there are no supermarkets, no minibus stops, no subways, and even people and cars are extremely rare.
Common people like to be busy, but rich people want to be quiet.
Common people want to have as many friends as possible, but rich people want no one to know them.
Therefore, common people like to crowd into busy cities, while rich people like to hide in secluded mountains.
After waiting for several cars nearby to drive by slowly, Xiao Xueqing collected her thoughts and got out of the car with a pointed cone.
After puncturing a tire, she walked towards Han Murphy's house.
In front of the tall iron gate, she checked the house number again, smoothed her hair that was wet from the rain, and pressed the doorbell.
The electronic replyer responded quickly. She turned her head, facing the camera and speaker, and told her her name, her relationship with Han Murphy, and the reason for disturbing him.
In such a heavy rainy night, I believe that no matter how ruthless Han Murphy is, he will not drag her outside and ignore her.
Sure enough, the iron door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties came out holding an umbrella and said: "Miss Xiao, come in, Mr. Han is waiting for you in the living room."
Hiding under the umbrella, Xiao Xueqing followed the middle-aged man's footsteps, bypassing the central marble fountain and walking towards the British-style mansion.
As far as she knows, this house was built in the early days of Hong Kong's occupation as a British colony and has a history of hundreds of years.
Before the sale, the previous owner carried out renovations for two years without leaving the original structure, and listed the house for a sky-high price of 660 million.
After selling it for a whole year, Han Murphy finally spent 580 million to buy this historic building.
As she moved, the elements of the British style became clear to her: sloping roofs, dormer windows, parapets, and deep cornices.
Different from the French palace architecture, the British style advocates more romantic pastoral style.
Just like when people are tired of the splendor and grandeur, they want to find a warm feeling at home.
The door was pushed open by a middle-aged man, and a charming scent of lilies greeted him.
Han Murphy seems to be a very persistent person. He always smells of cold water, and there are always lilies in his house and office.
