Traveling back and forth from ancient times to the present, the prince pursues love in the modern ti

A Bentley drove slowly along the winding mountain road towards the rolling hills.

Xia Youan leaned on the car window, letting the mountain wind mess up his hair.

The road ahead is confusing.

The Xia Group went bankrupt.

The economic environment has been bad in recent years, and the real estate market has gradually entered a downward cycle. Bank debts cannot be repaid when they mature, construction sites have been shut down, and suppliers cannot pay for materials.

For the past six months, people have come to collect debts every day.

The sale of the villa was only enough to pay the employees' severance pay.

Father Xia Ronghai was so busy raising funds every day that he had no time to take care of his family.

They had no choice but to send Xia Youan and his wife Liang Peishan back to the old house to avoid their lives being disturbed too much.

"An An, we're here, get off the car first!"

Looking at her daughter in a trance, Liang Peishan sighed, reached out and patted Xia Youan on the shoulder, motioning her to get out of the car.

I wonder if my daughter, who has been like a naughty monkey since she was a child, can adapt to the almost retirement-style environment here.

The car door opened, and Xia Youan's thoughts, which had drifted away, were instantly brought back to reality.

Standing before you are Chinese garden-style buildings with white walls, black tiles, and flying eaves and brackets.

The Xia family's old house is located in the hillside villa area in the far suburbs of Bincheng.

This area was built in the early 20th century and has a history of more than a hundred years. The houses are very old.

The exterior is a typical Chinese-style building, with only about a dozen households in total.

Most of the people living here are from the older generation who have made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause.

The younger generation enjoys the blessings from their ancestors and is developing very well.

Even if they are not extremely rich, they are still considered a wealthy family.

The environment here is very good and well-connected, but it is a bit far from the city, and the living facilities are a bit behind, and there are no entertainment facilities at all.

After six months, Xia Youan also realized that the situation at home was very bad.

I can't help my parents out of their predicament. The only thing I can do is to continue to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude and not cause trouble for them.

"Let's go, Mom!"

After calming himself down, Xia Youan calmly took his mother's arm.

"I heard from my grandparents that my dad was much more naughty than me when he was a kid.

Climbed up a tree to rob a bird's nest, fell down and lost his memory, went down to the pond to catch fish, and drank a belly full of water.

I want to visit the place where my father grew up and see how he can call me naughty in the future."

The little mouth keeps talking non-stop.

creak~

“This is the sound of time!”

Xia Youan complained in his heart.

After years of construction, the pool in the middle of the corridor in the courtyard has dried up.

Rockeries stand by the pond, and the grass and trees are untrimmed and look messy.

Some of the paint on the corridor pillars has peeled off, leaving mottled marks.

The courtyard is not very big, but you can tell how exquisite it must have been many years ago.

After passing through the hanging flower gate, the backyard is the living area, and the row of houses opposite is the living room, with two suites on each side of the living room.

The living room features a full-length floor-to-ceiling glass window, a perfect collision of Chinese architecture and modern decoration.

It not only retains the beauty of Chinese architecture, but also takes the lighting issue into consideration.

The kitchen, dining room, storage room and laundry room are located on the left, and the laundry room leads directly to the backyard.

There are 2 bedrooms on the right.

The backyard is a garage, drying area and activity area.

"Wow! I love it so much!

Mom, why didn't you bring me here before?"

"Not long after you were born, your grandparents went to England with your uncle.

In order to facilitate their work, my parents have been living in the city, so the old house has been vacant.

No one lives here anymore, so no one has come back.

We just hired someone to come and clean it regularly.”

Liang Peishan said to Xia Youan lovingly.

"Sister Wu, take An An to see her room first. Write down anything that's missing or needs to be changed, and we can slowly fill it in later!

We may have to live here for a few years, so we can’t let An An down!

I'll ask Lao Zhang to move the luggage over first."

"Okay, ma'am!"

"An An, your room is on the right. Madam said that room has good lighting, and girls should live in a room with more yang energy."

Aunt Wu said to Xia Youan with a smile on her face.

Xia Youan was raised by Aunt Wu, and it can be said that she truly loves her like her own daughter.

Aunt Wu’s husband, Uncle Zhang, was the old man’s full-time driver. Later, the old man went to settle abroad, and Uncle Zhang stayed in the Xia family.

The couple came to the Xia family when they were in their twenties, and in a blink of an eye, they have been living in the Xia family for almost thirty years.

Has been completely integrated into the family.

The Xia family also treated them like family members.

A few years ago, Xia Ronghai specially reserved a 200-square-meter apartment for them in Dijingyuan.

Because of this crisis, the old couple secretly sold this large flat and gave it to Xia Ronghai for emergency use.

This kind of friendship is something that many families cannot achieve between brothers and sisters.

His son Zhang Peng, 28 years old this year, joined Xia Group right after graduating from university. He is now the manager of the finance department of Xia Group and is highly valued by Xia Ronghai.

But now I am also running around to raise funds.

"Aunt Wu, tell me, no one has lived here for over ten years. Could there be ghosts?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid!

Although no one has lived there for a long time, there are always people coming to clean it, and there are residents around.

You are so young, how can you be so superstitious? "

Looking at the playful and quirky Xia Youan, Aunt Wu tapped Xia Youan's forehead helplessly.

She knew that Xia Youan just wanted to liven up the atmosphere and was afraid that everyone was immersed in the gloom of Xia's bankruptcy.

Push the door open.

Opposite is a slightly small study. Although it cannot be compared with the study in the previous Dijingyuan villa, it is also fully equipped.

Turn right into the bedroom, and there is a rosewood step-out bed against the wall. It is too thick and heavy, and is not really suitable for a little girl.

But this is an ancient bed treasured by the Xia family, although it was destroyed in that special era.

Later, after moving here, the old man asked someone to use these materials and add some new wood to imitate this exquisite bed.

Because the bed was too big to move, the room was renovated several times but the bed was never moved.
