The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 49 Mountain Top Manor (Please continue reading)

Twenty minutes later, Gu Heng drove into the second phase of Yu Cui Yuan.

Looking around, the entire community consists of either townhouses or detached villas, with shady trees lining both sides of the road, giving one a sense of tranquility and seclusion.

"The park's landscaping is quite nice."

Gu Heng slowed down the car and casually commented.

"Yu Cui Yuan is Hutchison Whampoa Properties' first high-end residential project in North Chung. It is adjacent to Jingyuetan, Asia's largest artificial forest park, and covers an area of ​​92 square meters with a plot ratio of only 0.41. All of the units are villas."

Luo Xiwen explained to Gu Heng in a low voice: "This project was originally developed in two phases. The townhouses we see now are the products of the first phase. Compared with the products of the second phase, they are located at a relatively low elevation, while the products of the second phase are located at a higher elevation and have a more open view."

Hutchison Whampoa Properties?

"Why does this company sound so familiar?"

Gu Heng, who was driving, frowned slightly, his tone somewhat suspicious.

"Chairman Gu, the parent company of Hutchison Whampoa Properties is Hong Kong-based Hutchison Whampoa Group, whose founder is none other than Li Ka-shing, the former richest man in Asia."

Luo Xiwen explained to Gu Heng.

"Oh……"

"No wonder this name sounds so familiar."

Gu Heng looked slightly enlightened: "Only those international-level real estate companies have the courage to develop such a large-scale villa community in Beichun."

As they talked, they drove up the winding main road of the park.

Luo Xiwen gazed out the window at the villas along the way, his thoughts drifting away.

'Even if I worked hard for a hundred years, I probably still couldn't afford a villa like that…'

Through the reflection in the car window, Luo Xiwen saw his own dignified and pretty face, as well as Gu Heng, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand and had a handsome and refined face.

Is an eight-year age gap possible?

Gu Heng is not even of legal marriage age yet.

Four years later, she was thirty-one years old.

'We can't possibly have a result...'

Luo Xiwen knew it in his heart.

But should we give up?

Should I listen to my mother, marry an ordinary person, seek so-called stability, and then live a mundane life?

Luo Xiwen was the "other people's child" that everyone talked about since she was a child, and she was beautiful from childhood to adulthood. She was never short of admirers during her school years.

Excellent academic performance; graduated from a prestigious university.

Lohsieh was also a woman with high aspirations.

She longed for happiness, yet was unwilling to settle for mediocrity.

Gu Heng was arguably the best man she had ever met in her life.

However, the age difference between the two is like a chasm.

Now, looking at Gu Heng, she inexplicably felt a sense of "she was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old."

For a moment, Luo Xiwen felt his mind was in turmoil.

"drop--"

When he came to his senses, Gu Heng had already driven to his destination.

As the black armored electric sliding door slowly opened, the super mansion that resembled a small estate came into view of Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen.

The villa in the center of the courtyard adopts a modern European style with simple and smooth lines. The entire building is constructed of beige marble, making it look extremely grand and solemn.

The sliding door that opened in front of Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen was the north entrance door specifically for vehicles, and the paved ground directly in front of it looked clean and tidy.

On the south side, there is also a south entrance door.

A typical north-south dual-entry layout.

After the sliding door was fully opened, Gu Heng drove in slowly. He saw four cars already parked in front of the garage on the north side of the mansion.

Meanwhile, many people were standing in front of the four cars.

Seeing this, Gu Heng had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. After parking the car, Gu Heng got out with Luo Xiwen.

"Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Wang from Shenglong Real Estate."

Li Mei quickly stepped forward and immediately introduced the middle-aged man standing in the center of the crowd to Gu Heng.

"Shenglong Real Estate, Wang Baoshan".

The middle-aged man looked somewhat overweight, especially his belly, which resembled that of a woman eight months pregnant. However, he seemed to be in excellent spirits, and his voice was loud and clear: "President Gu, I was away on a business trip to inspect a project recently and only just returned. Otherwise, I would have met with you much earlier."

"Zhencui Group, Gu Heng."

Gu Heng grasped the right hand that Wang Baoshan offered and replied with a smile, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Wang, during this time. I'm so grateful for your help."

"oops……"

"Mr. Gu, you're too kind."

“Our Shenglong Real Estate is in this business. Mr. Gu, your trust in us is a boost to our business. How can you call it a problem?”

As a real estate tycoon, Wang Baoshan's speech and behavior have a somewhat江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) feel.

"correct."

"Mr. Gu, let me introduce you."

Following Wang Baoshan's movement, Gu Heng looked to his side and saw a beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor standing there.

She is not very tall, but when she stands there, it is hard to ignore her presence.

As the saying goes, time cannot defeat beauty. Even though time has left its mark on her face, it is still easy to see that she must have been an extremely beautiful woman in her youth.

"This is Jiang Man, my high school classmate. She is now the vice president of the Ninth Hospital of Jilin University in Beichun, and also the seller of this luxury house today."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng remained calm. He extended his right hand to the other party and politely greeted him, "Dean Jiang, hello, I am Gu Heng."

"Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The woman smiled slightly at Gu Heng.

After a brief introduction, Wang Baoshan said, "President Gu, Jiang Man, it's the best time of day in the afternoon, with the best sunlight. Let's look at the house first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng and Jiang Man both nodded to indicate that they had no objections.

Today, Gu Heng is the buyer.

If Gu Heng is not satisfied with this house, then there is no need to talk about it anymore.

We are all extraordinary people, and we all value efficiency.

“Jiang Man, none of us know anything about this house of yours.”

"Only you can introduce him to President Gu yourself."

Wang Baoshan's smile resembles that of Maitreya Buddha, which is quite comical.

Jiang Man nodded, then gestured to Gu Heng, "Mr. Gu, let's start by looking at the courtyard."

"Ok."

Gu Heng nodded.

"Mr. Gu, I think Mr. Wang and the others have already introduced the basic information about this house to you, so I won't go into too much detail here."

As the vice president of a provincial-level tertiary hospital, Jiang Man immediately changed when she got serious. Pointing to the garage in front of her, she said, "The garage of my house has three parking spaces, and you can directly enter the house."

"Although it's called a three-car garage, as you can see now, you can also park in the open space outside the garage. I've paved the ground here, and it's more than enough to park five more cars."

"If we don't park here, this place will be a great place for your children to play when you have them in the future, Mr. Gu. It should be spacious enough."

Jiang Man briefly introduced the parking space to Gu Heng, and then led Gu Heng south towards the main garden of the villa.

As she passed by the east side, she casually mentioned, "I found a gazebo here, with outdoor sofas and a coffee table inside. In the summer, Mr. Gu can come here with his friends to cool off, drink tea, and read books. It should be quite pleasant."

"On the west side, I've built an open-air barbecue area. The site is all set up, except for the barbecue equipment, tables, chairs, and benches. Mr. Gu may have to prepare those himself in the future."

At this point, Jiang Man smiled at Gu Heng.

But that smile, when seen by Gu Heng, carried a hint of bitterness.

Seeing this, Gu Heng had some vague guesses in his heart, but on the surface, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to follow Jiang Man forward...
