Chapter 165 - Lets Date (1/2)
The island was shaped like a steae but there were several wind turbines on its beaches They looked like the wind to the beauty of the landscape of the island
The island had only one hill and the Vientaine Group’s wind power plant was at the base of this hill Entering the plant, Xia Lei saw stack upon stack of wind turbine components which almost filled the area
“There’s so ood job - why do you say that they’d be unable to finish their order?” The sight of the wind turbine components raised a suspicion in Xia Lei that Shentu Tian-Yin had brought hiht not even be anything having to do with an opinion
Shentu Tian-Yin did not answer Xia Lei’s question “Let’s go I have ht,” she said
Xia Lei wrinkled his brows “What the hell’s going on? Please tell me”
Shentu Tian-Yin smiled faintly “Don’t be in such a rush”
Her smile was fresh as a daisy; it was like an answer to all doubts Xia Lei could ask no further at that shtseeing trolley bus and said, “Get on”
Shentu Tian-Yin and Xia Lei got on and Fu Ming-Mei drove the small trolley bus to the bun-shaped hill The road up was steep and the trolley bus went slowly though it was covered in asphalt Xia Lei sat in the car and looked at the forest on either side of hi over the situation before hi?
The bun-shaped hill had a large villa at its peak It seehting and view of the island It was also built in the gothic style and looked like a castle from the medieval times The forest around the castle had been trireen grass, various flower species and a huge open-air pool decorated the grounds, adding to a coant atmosphere
‘It’s nice to be rich This villa must be worth tens of millions It’ll be nice if I had a villa like this too… Get a beautiful wife, have a son, a daughter… that’ll be nice,’ thought Xia Lei to hi Si-Yao had popped into his head at the thought of a wife This thought had also scared hi - how can we get lance at Shentu Tian-Yin next to hiined himself with her more than once in the past - he had even had dreams where they’d had sex However, these fantasies were fairly toned do and not as exciting as they’d been Was this because of Liang Si-Yao?
Love was a strange thing
Fu Ming-Mei parked the trolley bus in a parking lot then juo prepare the rooht Xia Lei into the villa
The inside of the villa was also done in Gothic style - classical and stylish However, there was a lot of blacks and greys used in the decor,the place look cold and mysterious This style made Xia Lei think of Shentu Tian-Yin’s character - she was as mysterious and cold as this villa
Shentu Tian-Yin led Xia Lei to the second floor and they came to a study Fu Chuan-Fu fetched them two cups of tea Xia Lei saw nobody other than Shentu Tian-Yin, Fu Chuan-Fu and Fu Ming-Mei It seemed that this place was Shentu Tian-Yin’s secret ‘palace’
Xia Lei sat on the sofa, sipped his tea and said, “Can you tell me what this is about now?” He looked at Shentu Tian-Yin “Are you still going to tellto do with the wind power project?”
“It’s not a proble to you but it was to hide my real intent from others I have a request to make of you”
“What do you want me to help with?”
“I just need you to help”
Xia Lei paused, then laughed “I don’t even knohat I’ll be doing How can I help you?”
Shentu Tian-Yin spoke slowly, “I have been randparents see me as a threat I understand their viewpoint; they wantto succeed Vientaine Group If he does, the corporationto the Shentu clan I am just one woman and I will have to marry sooner or later My children will not be named Shentu and Vientaine Group will fall into the hands of an outsider if I marry The Shentu clan also think this way They do not express this concern but they all worry about it They are afraid that I will ive birth to a successor who is not a Shentu”
“Your grandparents are too old-fashi+oned Aren’t all grandchildren the sale-handedly built Vientaine Group - what does it have to do with them? Isn’t their life of luxury thanks to your father’s kindness? Your father is paralysed and instead of paying hi ways to underhtfully yours They’re too ed on her behalf
Shentu Tian-Yin laughed bitterly “So you get it now Our Shentu clan number in the tens but the only ones I can truly trust are Uncle Fu and Ming-Mei, and they are not Shentu”
“Thank you for telling me all these This means you see me as a friend and trust me What I still don’t understand is what you want me to help you with,” said Xia Lei
“I’ve already uess?” Shentu Tian-Yin stared steadily at Xia Lei
Xia Lei looked wordlessly at Shentu Tian-Yin How could souess?” Shentu Tian-Yin seehtly disappointed
