Chapter 567 Ou Family Mansion
The next morning, the dim morning light shone through a thin layer of dense leaves, adding a sense of remoteness to the already quiet forest.
The morning breeze blew gently with a hint of chill, rustling the dense leaves, and birds chirped in the woods.
The weather in late summer is the best, neither too cold nor too hot, with plenty of sunshine, warm and full of vitality.
The Blue Lake Bay of the Xinxi Lan Luxury Hot Spring Resort is filled with steam from the hot spring lake, and you can also smell the fresh scent of soil.
Coupled with the chill of the morning dew, the villa area of Blue Lake Bay was shrouded in fog, with dewdrops remaining on the branches and leaves, sparkling in the sunlight.
At this time, Li Chuyue, who had gotten up early, was walking on the sand beside the Blue Lake with Ou Jinghuan.
They were about to go to designer Lidina's studio to try on the dresses that designer Lidina and her employees had worked overtime to make.
Li Chuyue looked at the blue lake, which looked even more beautiful during the day. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia, and she couldn't help but recall the time when she came here to play with her parents when she was a child.
Ou Jinghuan felt that Li Chuyue beside him was sad, so he reached out and hugged Li Chuyue in his arms.
Then, while stroking Li Chuyue's head, he asked softly:
"What's wrong? Little bitter melon."
Li Chuyue raised her hands and hugged Ou Jinghuan's waist, with a reluctant tone, and whispered:
“If possible, I want to bring you with me every time I come here.
I like this place, and I like walking here with you even more, so I won’t be alone...so lonely..."
Hearing this, Ou Jinghuan knew that Li Chuyue was missing her mother and family. He lowered his head and kissed Li Chuyue on the top of her head with heartache.
Then, he looked sideways at Li Chuyue's sad face pressed against his chest, gently stroked Li Chuyue's shoulders, and promised:
"Okay, I'll accompany you every time you come to the Blue Lake, and I won't let my Chu Chu feel lonely."
Li Chuyue immediately raised her head, looking very serious, with a hint of grievance in her tone, and said:
"That's what you said! Come home early and remember I'll be waiting for you at home!
Don’t… don’t do it like you did some time ago, always leaving me to sleep alone in the big bed, and I couldn’t even hold you in my arms to fall asleep…”
Hearing this, Ou Jinghuan was stunned, and then quickly realized that Li Chuyue was taking the opportunity to pressure him by using his promise.
He felt proud and a little helpless about Li Chuyue's ever-present cleverness.
He thought that Li Chuyue was the only one in the world who dared to hit him so blatantly, but he would not take Li Chuyue's life, but would be held firmly in his hand instead.
Because of Li Chuyue's words, he even regretted that he had deliberately come home late because he was worried that he was too controlling and that Li Chuyue would dislike him.
Ou Jinghuan didn't know that he was about to fall in love. He chuckled, then hugged Li Chuyue tighter with a little force and replied:
"Okay, I promise you everything.
Even if I have to work until late, I will try to go home early, handle it at home, and accompany you to sleep.
If I really have something to say, I will definitely tell you in advance and say goodnight to you, is that okay?"
Li Chuyue saw that Ou Jinghuan had fulfilled all the conditions she wanted. She looked at her boyfriend who was becoming more and more satisfactory and nodded happily.
Afterwards, Li Chuyue and Ou Jinghuan walked out of Blue Lake Bay in the morning light, and then got into the black Pagani driven by Ou Jinghuan and left the New Xilan Luxury Hot Spring Resort.
……
Time quickly came to the afternoon, which was also the time for the 70th birthday banquet of Ou Hongxin, the founder of Hongxin Group, the largest shareholder, and the most influential person in the Ou family.
The birthday party of the old man of the Ou family will not be held at the Xinghuan Hotel under the Hongxin Group like the other younger generations of the Ou family.
Instead, it is held every year in the Ou family’s largest Chinese-style mansion, and it is also a rare opportunity for invited guests to appreciate the Ou family’s most prestigious mansion.
The guests invited to this birthday banquet were basically nobles and well-known figures in the political and business circles, as well as the descendants of every branch of the Ou family.
But even the guests who held financial power arrived at the Ou family mansion early in order to attend the birthday party of the old man of the Ou family.
It is conceivable that the Ou family, the largest wealthy family, is an existence that many powerful people need to admire and curry favor with.
Those who are used to hearing flattery came to the Ou family mansion early today, ready to please the people in power in the Ou family.
At this time, the invited guests brought their partners and took private cars to pass through layers of inspection and finally entered the gate of the mansion.
There was no red carpet outside the mansion, no lively opening, only a few solemn butlers and concierges waiting.
When guests step into this Chinese-style mansion, it is as if they have traveled through a time tunnel and returned to an ancient and elegant era.
The red door opens slightly, and what comes into view is a quiet courtyard. The bluestone path winds its way and the green bamboos on both sides sway gracefully, like a lively ink painting.
In the courtyard, flowers bloom, leaves fall, birds sing, and insects chirp, all of which are the tranquility and beauty of nature. Everyone who sees them will find their restless hearts calmed down.
Inside the mansion, the flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, every detail demonstrates the exquisite skills of the craftsmen.
The excellent lighting brought by the large floor-to-ceiling doors and windows makes the spacious hall brighter and the double-dragon spiral staircase more eye-catching.
Under the high ceiling of the mural is a super large chandelier at the entrance. Although it does not have the grandeur of a big hotel, it is full of a sense of ceremony.
Walk across the granite floor covered with luxurious carpets and into the banquet hall that can accommodate hundreds of people.
What catches the eye is the interior furniture made of antique walnut wood, and the walls are covered with stained glass and expensive paintings and artworks hanging on the walls.
Priceless antiques can be found everywhere, as well as Chinese-style mansion decorations, exuding a profound cultural atmosphere and the accumulation of millennia-old oriental aesthetics.
After a while, the guests who were invited for the first time were led to the banquet hall of the mansion, where they raised their glasses and chatted with other guests.
Regular customers who have been here before do not need to be led by others, and they walk easily among the carefully trimmed hedges and bushes.
They were not as nervous as other people who came to the Ou family mansion for the first time. Before the birthday party started, they brought their families or partners to leisurely enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mansion garden.
