Lei Zhilan stretched out her jade-like arm and looked at the Patek Philippe on her wrist.
"There are still three hours until 6 o'clock. If there is traffic, it will take about an hour. Let's go for a spin and take a shower, and we can make it in time for dinner."
This bitch...
"Honey, no way."
"Of course it is."
Lei Zhilan pulled Wang Taiyi toward the bedroom.
"Hurry, time is tight and the task is heavy, please hurry up!"
…(1 words omitted here)…
Hong Kong has three famous Mid-Levels villas: The Peak, Repulse Bay, and Deep Water Bay.
Wang Taiyi's villa is located in Repulse Bay.
Lei Zhilan's villa is located on the mountaintop.
People on Hong Kong Island believe in feng shui, especially the wealthy. Mountains represent people, and water represents wealth. Places with mountains are believed to have prosperous populations, and places with water are believed to have abundant wealth. This hillside villa fits the "mountain and water" pattern, and boasts beautiful scenery with panoramic views from its heights.
Most of the wealthiest people on Hong Kong Island live in these areas, and even if they don't live here, they own land here.
People like Huo Jingliang, who prefer living in high-rise luxury apartments, and Wang Baiwan and Tang Judy, who build villas in the city center, are still a minority.
"Squeak~~~"
Lei Zhilan drifted her Ferrari and came to a smooth stop in front of her villa.
Several servants came out of the villa and bowed to greet Lei Zhilan.
"Miss."
He then bowed to Wang Taiyi.
"Mr. Wang."
Then several servants took mops, brooms, and some bottles and jars to clean up the tire tracks on the floor. They were really skilled at it.
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler, wearing white gloves, bowed to the two people walking towards the door.
"Miss, Mr. Wang, the master has been waiting for a long time."
He then opened the door for the two of them.
As soon as the door opened, a clear female voice came from inside.
"Oh my, our young lady is finally back! The whole family has been waiting for her. She's really something else!"
That voice! That tea flavor! Wang Taiyi was delighted; he liked this plot.
……
Chapter 154 There are no good people
Lei Zhilan's stepmother's surname is He. Her family is quite wealthy. Although she is nearly fifty, she is well-maintained and looks like she is in her thirties.
The youngest daughter, Lei Zhixin, is three years younger than Lei Zhilan. Compared to her older sister, she is less attractive and has a cute appearance.
Lei Zhixin's boyfriend, Li Luobo, wore gold-rimmed glasses and a big gold chain; he was simply "rich."
Lei Laohu, sitting in the main seat, had a chubby face with a smile on it, looking more like a fat cat than a tiger, like a Maitreya Buddha.
After Wang Taiyi came in, she walked to the dining table, picked up her stepmother's chair with one hand, and put it aside.
This move stunned everyone present, and Lei Zhixin swallowed hard as she looked at Wang Taiyi's arm.
Wang Taiyi dragged another chair over and sat down next to Lei Laohu, laughing:
"Uncle, I am Wang Taiyi."
He then extended his right hand.
Lei Laohu has been a prominent figure in the business world for many years. He had heard of the name Wang Taiyi, the new owner of ATV, but had never met him in person. Such a unique name should not be shared by others.
"Wang Taiyi from ATV?"
Wang Tai nodded, and Lei Laohu smiled and shook hands with Lao Wang.
"You're so young and promising! I never expected Zhilan's boyfriend to be you. I thought..."
Wang Taiyi laughed and said:
"You thought I was some thug? Sure, I have a triad background. Uncle won't mind, will he?"
Lei Laohu shook his head.
"What's there to mind? I was a gangster when I was young, and my name, Jade-Faced Flying Tiger, was quite famous back then."
Jade-faced Flying Tiger?
Wang Taiyi sized up Lei Laohu's chubby face; indeed, the Jade-Faced Flying Tiger had a lot of flesh on his face.
Lei Laohu became interested and prepared to have a good chat with Lao Wang.
"Sister Zhang, bring out that bottle of fine wine I've been saving. I want to have a good talk with my future son-in-law."
Li Luobo, standing to the side, was panting heavily with anger. This old man, when he first visited, brought a lot of gifts but didn't even offer him a bottle of good wine; he only drank regular wine.
Lei Zhixin's gaze towards her brother-in-law was strange; it seemed to be green with envy.
"uncle."
Wang Taiyi stopped Lei Laohu.
"I won't be drinking today. Zhilan has a small conflict with her family, and I've come to see if I can mediate."
Lei Laohu's eyes darted around. He didn't like getting involved in family conflicts. Lei Laohu's principle regarding family was to give his children money and affection, and his wife money and sperm. He didn't care about anything else. He thought, "The money is in my hands. Let them make a fuss if they want, as long as no one dies."
"Well, nephew is right. I just remembered I have a gathering tonight. Oh dear, it's almost time, I have to go. Nephew, please have your aunt entertain you."
After saying that, Lei Laohu left, his main idea being "out of sight, out of mind," and "let them do whatever they want."
The Lei family was used to Lei Laohu's habit of immediately disappearing whenever he was in any trouble.
The first person to speak after Lei Laohu left was Li Luobo, the man with gold-rimmed glasses.
"Wang Taiyi, is that right? I wonder how Mr. Wang made his fortune? I'm very curious."
"I will not tell you."
Old Wang never satisfies other people's curiosity. He likes to only say half of what he means and enjoys watching people sulk.
"you…"
"Oh, alright, alright, everyone's in a good mood today, let's have a drink. I'll pour Mr. Wang a drink."
Huo Zhixin got up and wiggled her hips as she came to Wang Taiyi's side to pour her some wine.
"Ouch!"
Lei Zhixin exaggeratedly tripped over her own feet with her left foot and fell into Wang Taiyi's arms.
Wang Taiyi sat in the chair, pushed off the ground and took half a meter back, then grabbed her by the back of the neck and lifted her up like he was grabbing a kitten or puppy, making her scream in pain.
Lei Zhilan knew this green tea girl's character all too well; she was trying to seduce Lao Wang. Luckily, Lao Wang was reliable.
"Lei Zhixin, can you please stop being so lewd? You need to choose your target carefully. If you flirt with my man again, I'll skin you alive!"
Lei Zhilan tapped the dining table with a spoon in her hand.
"How dare you speak to your sister like that? I'm not dead yet!"
The stepmother pointed at Lei Zhilan with her pinky finger raised.
"Stop arguing, you're all family."
Lei Zhixin, her eyes reddening, said pitifully:
"It's all my fault. I'm always so clumsy and I always fall down when I walk, which made my sister misunderstand. Brother Wang, you won't blame me, will you? I'm just a little idiot."
Is this some kind of naive and beautiful woman persona? Old Wang chuckled.
"How could I blame you!"
Lei Zhixin secretly rejoiced; things were looking promising!
She had studied this method of attracting men for a long time. In her impression, no man would be averse to a pitiful and clumsy girl, especially a beautiful one.
Unfortunately, Old Wang is no ordinary person.
"I won't blame you. You yourself said you're an idiot, why would I blame a little idiot?"
Lei Zhixin lost control of her expression. "I called myself a little idiot and you called me a little moron?" Although it was the first time she had heard those three words, they sounded so malicious.
"Oh, you actually insulted my daughter, Mr. Wang, don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"
Wang Taiyi shrugged.
"Didn't your daughter say that herself?"
The stepmother angrily stood up for her daughter.
