The two of them walked along the stone path in the middle of the garden towards the big residence in the innermost area. Shi Lei walked around and took a look at the scenery on both sides.

If the entire manor was a private mansion, it would be a refreshing change of his impression of the rich. Even if this manor was compared to many parks in the city, the greenery would not be a problem. There were even some flowers and plants which were clearly more precious than those in the park.

There was a considerable distance between the gate and the house, and on the way there, they came across several bodyguards who were dressed like the entrance to the house and patrolling back and forth.

Halfway through, Uncle Fang patted Shi Lei's shoulders and said: "You acted in the name of justice and saved the young miss, the old master is aware of that. After he heard about it, he also hoped that you could come over so that he could thank you in person. "

"Old master?" Shi Lei did not know which master Uncle Fang was talking about, whether he was talking about the owner of the house or Chu Xinshu's "grandpa".

Uncle Fang said, "The lord is the miss's grandfather. Because the lord is old and doesn't want to interfere in group affairs, he gave everything to the miss."

Shi Lei nodded his head, thinking that he really couldn't see through his. Just from his first impression of Chu Xinshu, he knew that he was a crazy girl.

To be in charge of a group, that was no ordinary ability.

Led by Uncle Fang, the two of them walked up the stone steps to the front of the mansion. Everything was in good order, every tree wall was neatly trimmed, and every path was immaculately clean and tidy. The servants who passed by were very polite, and the smile on their faces was just right. Obviously, they had gone through strict etiquette training.

Uncle Fang brought Shi Lei into the hall, pointed to a large leather sofa and said: "Mr. Shi, please sit here for a while. Master is in the backyard, I will go and notify him."

"Sorry for the trouble." Shi Lei nodded his head in agreement, and was secretly shocked in his heart: This garden that he has walked all the way here isn't enough, there's actually a backyard? Then how big was the total area of their home?

After Uncle Fang left, a servant very quickly brought over tea and pastries. Shi Lei ate his snacks while drinking his tea, and looked around the hall at the same time.

Above his head, there was a gigantic crystal chandelier, the four walls were covered in all kinds of oil paintings, Shi Lei could not understand this, but looking at the color, it must be quite a long time ago.

After waiting for a while, Shi Lei was a little puzzled, didn't Chu Xinshu ask him to come here? Why didn't she come to see him and alert her grandfather?

Just as Shi Lei was thinking wildly, a clear voice came from behind him. "Who are you?"

Shi Lei turned his head and saw a man standing behind him.

Beautiful man.

This was the first time Shi Lei thought of using the word beautiful to describe a man.

The man in front of her looked like a beauty from an ancient Chinese painting. He had skin like ice, eyes like autumn water, and if he didn't reveal his gender, he would look no different from a woman. One could even say that he was more beautiful than most women.

Just by standing there, he was actually able to cause Shi Lei to be absent-minded for a moment.

"Who are you?" The man raised his eyebrows and asked again. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was slightly dissatisfied with Shi Lei's undisguised observation.

"Shi Lei." Shi Lei came back to reality and laughed as he replied.

"Shi Lei?" The beautiful youth thought for a moment and said, "I don't know him. Why did you come here?"

Shi Lei did not answer him, but asked back, "Who are you?"

The young man said haughtily: "Chu Xinhang."

"Chu Xinhang? I don't know you, but why did you come here? " Shi Lei imitated his tone and teased him a little.

"You … Do you know who you're talking to? " The beautiful youth's cultivation was far inferior to Shi Lei's, and his face was flushed red as he asked.

Shi Lei laughed: "I don't know him, of course I don't know him."

In fact, he had already heard some clues from the youth's name. His surname was Chu, and in the middle of his name, there was the word "Xin" like Chu Xinshu. And he had been so rampant in the Chu Family residence, other than Chu Xinshu's little brother, who else could he be?

Ai, it looks like this rich kid's temper is even worse than mine.

Chu Xinhang said with a gloomy face: "No matter who you are, no matter what you are begging for, I can guarantee that you will not get anything out of it."

Shi Lei was so happy, this young lad was too stupid, right? Just as he wanted to tease him a few more times, a voice came from the door.

"Impudent! Since when has it been your turn to speak?"

Shi Lei looked towards the direction of the voice, to see a ruddy old man.

The old man was about the same age as Uncle Fang, but his spirit and spirit were slightly better. He wore a white silk suit with a Taiji diagram embroidered on it.

"Grandfather." When Chu Xinhang saw the old man, he immediately restrained his arrogance and stood respectfully at the side.

"Hmph, you don't know etiquette." Chu Fengyi glared at his grandson, and reprimanded him.

As they spoke, Chu Fengyi walked in front of Shi Lei. Shi Lei hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Greetings Old Man Chu, I'm Shi Lei. Sorry to trouble you today."

The old man was rather kind to Shi Lei, and said with a face full of smiles: "Young lad, you're the same age as Xinshu, call me grandfather. Old man Chu, don't you feel uncomfortable calling me that?"

Shi Lei was slightly shocked in his heart. Hey, why is he trying to get close to me like this, it doesn't seem to fit the style of a rich person as I know it. One had to know that only a family like the Wu family could be considered to have gained trust by saving the lives of their father and son.

But since he was being nice, Shi Lei did not hesitate, and tried his best to change his words: "Grandpa Chu."

"Eh, that's right." Chu Fengyi stroked his beard and laughed.

Sitting beside Shi Lei, Chu Fengyi looked at him and said: "Shi Lei, your act of kindness is equivalent to clearing my Chu Family, our Chu Family owes you a favor. "You don't know, this is the time when our Chu Family and the Dong Clan's business competition is the most intense. If there were any mishaps with Xinshu at this time, I'm afraid the Dong Clan would have swallowed our Chu Family to the point that not even bones would remain, luckily …"

The old man continued to talk nonstop, but Shi Lei was distracted and started to think of something else.

The Dong Clan?

Could he be talking about the Elder Dong, Dong Xiyun? Could it be such a coincidence?

But, they were both in the capital, and they also had the strength to compete with Chu Family, no matter how you looked at it, it sounded similar …

Shi Lei could not ask too much about this kind of matter, it had nothing to do with him. He should not have worried about this, so he did not care about it.

Chu Fengyi said: "I've finally looked forward to see you today. Unfortunately, that little girl Xinshu isn't here, otherwise, I'll definitely let her properly thank you in front of you. It wouldn't even be excessive for her to kowtow."

Shi Lei was startled, but after that he understood, so that girl Chu Xinshu was not there? He even called her over, this must be some kind of naughty act again.

The moment Chu Xinhang heard about such "kneeling ceremony", he couldn't help but pout his lips and say, "Grandfather, what age is it, for you to come to this feudal society thing? What kind of person is Elder Sister? How could she possibly kneel to him? "

After he finished speaking, he didn't even bother to look at Shi Lei properly. Ever since Shi Lei had entered the room, he had never liked this brat, and was even more unwilling to have anything to do with his elder sister.
