Chapter 125 – Finally Came (1/2)

Ch 125 – Finally Came

Unknown how they could’ve prepared so fast, but a red carpet was rolled out from the main door of the castle onto the edge of the roadway for cars. On the left side of the carpet, ten plus maids dressed in black and white were respectfully standing there in a line. And on the right side were a line of men dressed in white suits with a black shirts showing underneath. Lei Yu was beyond surprised from seeing this, he had never expected to be received and greeted with such big fanfare. He was definitely shocked beyond words, but fortunately he had experienced a scene similar to this already in the Kou country.

But it was different for Ai Er. She was surprised and curiously looking at Lei Yu since she couldn’t understand why this scene would occur.

The old madam then came out from the castle. She was an old woman that was supported by a beautiful young girl that was followed behind by two female servants. Lei Yu instantly recognized the old woman. She was exactly the old lady he had assisted when she told him she was trapped in the Kou country.

Right after that came a woman about forty five years old being accompanied by a middle-aged man around fifty years old.

Lei Yu and Ai Er got out of the car and seemed somewhat at a loss. Lei Yu was secretly saying in his heart: Oh crap, I would have never thought this family would be this rich. Could they be some ancient clan or family?

“You’ve finally come to see me!” The old woman was the first to say something as she started walking down the steps. This was her savior so how could she not be excited?

Lei Yu recovered his senses and closely inspected the elderly person. Perhaps it was due to her returning home, but her once thin malnourished face was now rosy and plump making her become a healthy looking elderly woman. Even though her skin was still a bit loose, when compared to the agonized look their first time meeting, they were almost like two different people.

“Old madam, I never expected that…” Lei Yu pointed all around him and didn’t know what to say.

“Quick, come on in!”

Going in the castle entrance with the rest of the people, a golden floral carpet had covered the entire ground floor. With the old castle-like structure accompanied with modern amenities, it gave this magnificent palace a fresh and unique spin.

Lei Yu, Ai Er, and everyone were seated in a bright and spacious hall for receiving guests. Although Lei Yu has experienced the grandeurs and aspects of society, this was his first time seeing such a magnificently constructed private residence.

The previous middle-aged man stood up and walked towards Lei Yu. “My name is Hawes, the successor of the Burlinder family. Having heard your name from my mother plenty of times, it’s really an honor to finally meet you!”

Lei Yu politely stood up and shook hands with Hawes. The latter seemed to be using a lot of strength and looked like he was just overly happy. Seeing his own mother’s savior, how could this dutiful son not be excited?

“I’m Lei Yu; it’s really nice to meet you.” Lei Yu slightly bowed showing his courteous manner.

The still attractive forty something year old woman also stood up and Hawes introduced her: “This is my wife.”

“Hello to you, Mrs. Hawes.”

The attractive woman came forward and gave Lei Yu a polite hug before touching her cheeks to his. Lei Yu was a bit surprised, how could a forty something year old woman have such smooth skin? Of course he didn’t reveal his surprised expression in the slightest and pretended that thought never occurred to him.

The young girl who was supporting the old woman and never said a word suddenly stood up and shook Lei Yu’s hand. “Hello, my name is Lafayette.”

“Oh! Nice to meet you.” The greeting was quite abrupt and Lei Yu didn’t know who the girl was, but he could somewhat guess who she was.

“I’m sorry for her rudeness, this is my daughter.” Hawes said with an apologetic face.
