This gathering place for wealthy people, which is rated as comparable to Repulse Bay in Hong Kong, was very deserted on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which was in stark contrast to the sunny weather.
This is not to say that the occupancy rate of the villas here is not good, on the contrary... The villas here are usually occupied by people, but there are not many permanent residents, especially during festivals such as the Chinese New Year. Most rich people do not celebrate the New Year here.
I am going home to spend the New Year with the elderly.
However, there are exceptions, and that is the villa in the center that belongs to Xue Hu.
Xue Hu only had one son and one daughter. His son Xue Qiang was raised by him as his successor. However, he was very far-sighted and had already applied for a green card for Xue Qiang, making him a full-fledged American citizen. In addition, his daughter,
Xue Ke was also made a U.S. citizen and is currently studying at a famous university in the United States.
Before New Year's Eve, both Xue Qiang, who was gilded in the Qinggang Southeast Asia branch, and Xue Ke, who was studying in the United States, returned to the villa on Ersha Island to spend the New Year with Xue Hu.
Xue Ke, who is only 20 years old this year, is a mixed-race child. He was born to Xue Hu and an American young model. He grew up in the United States and was fostered in his uncle's house.
Mixed race is generally a representative word for beautiful women.
Xue Ke is no exception. She not only has the classical beauty of an Oriental, with supple skin and small pores, but also has the tall figure of an American, with blue eyes, a tall nose bridge, and sexy lips.
At seven o'clock in the afternoon, dinner was about to begin, but except for Xue Ke, who had returned from shopping and was sitting at the dinner table, Xue Hu and Xue Qiang were not there.
"Miss, the master and the young master are talking in the study. He said, miss, you can eat by yourself first." When Xue Ke walked to the restaurant, the housekeeper stepped forward and said with a smile.
Hearing the old housekeeper's words in shock, Xue Ke's face changed and he became a little angry and said: "Forget it, I won't eat it. Also, tell him that I will return to the United States tomorrow."
"good."
The housekeeper smiled bitterly and nodded. He knew very well that the relationship between this young lady born in the United States and Xue Hu was not harmonious. On the contrary, in a sense, the two were just father and daughter by blood.
Other than that, there is no father-daughter relationship at all.
On the second floor, in the study.
Xue Hu, who was dressed in a Tang suit, held a pipe. After taking two puffs, he glanced at Xue Qiang, who was standing in front of him, and said: "Xiao Qiang, I didn't let you blindly deal with that boy named Chen.
Wrong?"
"Um."
Xue Qiang nodded with luck. He had already learned what happened in Yanjing. In his opinion, if he was really hot-headed and fought to the death with Chen Fan, even if he could win, he would not be able to survive in this world.
in the world.
This made him feel very lucky. While feeling lucky, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Dad, do you think the Yan family will take action this time?"
"Not for the time being." Xue Hu narrowed his eyes at Yan Jing, with a shrewd light dancing in his eyes.
“Oh?”
"Smart." Xue Hu smiled with satisfaction.
Xue Qiang was not complacent, but frowned and asked: "Dad, in your opinion, who will win in this upcoming battle between dragon and tiger? And will it affect us in any way?"
"Although we have a close relationship with the Yan family, we are just an alliance of interests. We cannot get involved in the games they play, and we dare not get involved, so the impact on us is extremely limited." Xue Hu lightly knocked the ashes of the cigarette.
, said: "As for who wins and who loses, it's hard to say. The old man of the Chen family is definitely an unfathomable old guy. I think that even if he dies, he will lay out the plan and let future generations finish it. Of course, the most important thing is
The most important thing is that other forces will not just watch the two major families fight to the death, just like the current war, which will only fight a local war, and it is impossible to fight a full-scale war."
"You mean, even the competition is mostly a secret competition, and it is a 'point' competition, not a face-to-face competition?" Xue Qiang realized something.
"Xiao Qiang, it seems that I have allowed you to stay in Southeast Asia in the past six months. Your vision and understanding have been significantly improved." Xue Hu first smiled happily and praised, and then said: "If I expected
If it's true, the most the Yan family can do is vent their bad breath and then take the opportunity to win over people's hearts. After all, a struggle of this level cannot be vigorous, but will take its time, like boiling a frog in warm water."
"What about that bastard Chen Fan?" Xue Qiang couldn't help but ask. While asking, the hatred in his eyes was not concealed at all.
For him, Chen Fan is the bane of his life.
If Chen Fan hadn't appeared that day, he would have recaptured the Red Bamboo Gang and occupied the East China Sea.
With that achievement, as the prince of the Qing Gang, he can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, just waiting for Xue Hu to retire. There is no need to spend time abroad to gilt like he is now. Not to mention, he is still worried about returning home, for fear of being secretly killed by the evil star.
"He? Hey! He has made many powerful enemies without knowing it." Xue Hu sneered: "I can guarantee that once the ancestors of the Chen family return to the west, other people will take action without you. He will
He died worse than a dog!"
"According to what you said, Dad, the Chen family will not care about him when the time comes?" Xue Qiang's eyes showed excitement. In his opinion, if Chen Fan became an outcast of the Chen family, he would let Chen Fan know
How to write the word "death".
"You will naturally know when the time comes." Xue Hu did not answer directly, but narrowed his eyes with a scheming expression: "Xiaoqiang, what you need to do now is to properly handle the affairs in Southeast Asia. Once domestic
If the situation changes, I will notify you, and then it will be up to you to clean up the mess."
"Thank you, dad." Xue Qiang was extremely excited. In his opinion, these two achievements were enough for him to smoothly become the future leader of the Qinggang!
…
For ordinary people, they are very happy and satisfied if they can own a house in a big city.
For those with greater ambitions, they are not limited to ordinary houses, but villas and luxury cars!
For people with real status, the number of houses is just a number, and all major cities have their houses.
castle.
These are two words that are enough to make most wealthy people excited.
But... they also know that these two words can only be thought of but cannot be realized.
It's impossible at home, and it's impossible abroad.
After all, being able to own a castle is not only something you can do with money, but also requires a lot of things.
Knarl Castle is neither the oldest nor the largest in Europe, where there are many castles, but it is one of the few privately owned castles.
Kernal Castle, which covers an area of hundreds of acres, is located on the British Peninsula and is the headquarters of the Kernal family. The castle has various luxury facilities including golf courses, racecourses, hunting grounds, and an F1 track.
While night falls in China, it is noon in England.
The midday sun shines on the Knarl Castle, and you can vaguely see that the huge castle seems a bit deserted, and only the golf course is still lively.
Dev, one of the candidates for the future successor of the Knarr family, was on the golf course.
For Dev, she used to not like this sport that most wealthy people love. In comparison, she prefers drag racing.
It's just...she is no longer the famous psychiatrist in the British Peninsula and Europe. She was dragged into the power pyramid of the Knarr family. Like everyone else, she began to walk along the dangerous stairs.
Climb up slowly.
Today, she is wearing a white sportswear, a peaked cap on her head, and a pair of fashionable sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, covering one third of her face, but it cannot hide her beauty and noble temperament.
Noble, beautiful, wise.
She was like a goddess. Just by standing in the sunshine, the descendants of the nobles who came for her frequently looked sideways. The admiration in their eyes was not concealed at all. There was also a trace of possessiveness in it, but it was very light... very
light……
Because... they all know that it is very difficult to get such a noble, proud and beautiful peacock to open its tail!
For them, this is a long-distance race that requires enough patience and time. Whoever is impatient will be kicked out first.
It seemed that Dev was used to the gazes of those noble children, and she didn't care at all.
Then, a car came from a distance.
Seeing this scene, Dave's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Half a minute later, the car stopped in front of Dave, and a man in a designer suit jumped out of the car, bowed respectfully and said hello: "Miss."
"What's going on?" Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her who she regarded as a direct descendant, she intuitively told Daifu that something had happened, and it was related to Chen Fan who was far away.
Because...she asked the man in front of her, who was once at the lower end of the Knarr family's power pyramid, to be responsible for only one thing: collecting information about Chen Fan.
The middle-aged man did not answer, but quickly opened the leather bag he carried with him and handed a document in the bag to Dave.
Dev's pupils suddenly narrowed and she took the document immediately.
Then, she took off her sunglasses, frowned, and browsed the document in her hand word by word under the sun.
Browsing is very slow.
In the distance, those aristocratic children saw that Dave was looking at something, and they did not bother to disturb her, nor did they urge her to continue the game.
As time passed by, Dev seemed to have been cast by magic. She stood there, motionless, with an extremely serious expression.
About fifteen minutes later, Dev finished reading the two-page document. Her sapphire-blue eyes kept turning, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"Miss, this news was conveyed to me by Roman at the first time. He asked me to ask you if you want to start preparations now." Seeing that Dev had finished reading the report, the middle-aged man hesitated and asked cautiously.
The reason why he was so careful was because he knew that the position of that oriental man in Dave's heart could not be replaced by others!
Otherwise, Dev would not let him only be responsible for this matter, nor would she let Roman, the head of the Asian region of the Nar Group, devote half of his energy to paying attention to that man's every move.
"Yes." Dev nodded slightly: "You go down."
"Yes, miss!" The middle-aged man left respectfully.
"My dear, in the eyes of outsiders, the upcoming change will be your disaster, but I know that it will be the beginning of your new legend." Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Dev looked up to the blue sky and gently said
Said: "As a hidden dragon, you have almost had enough fun in the mud pond. It's time to soar into the sky."
"I will watch quietly, watch you, step on all those ignorant guys under my feet one by one, and let them become the stepping stones for you to write a legend!"
After her words fell, Dev slowly withdrew her gaze, and a bright smile formed on the corner of her mouth.
