Chapter 2176: Li junyu’s hidden thoughts
After more than an hour of driving, they finally arrived at the area where the Zhan family’s ancestral home was located.
Even now, a hundred-year-old family like the Zhan family still followed the old system from ancient times. Layers upon layers of small courtyards and villas were scattered on the cliffs by the sea, next to the mountains and next to the sea. From a distance, it looked like a small village with its simple and unsophisticated style.
However, when the car drove closer, they realized that the small farmyards and small detached high-rise villas all had a strange style.
The so-called small farmyard was actually carved with railings and painted walls, or it was quiet and beautiful, all of which had a strong ancient atmosphere.
As for those small, high-rise villas, they had to have a strong European and American style. Some were in the American country style, and some were in the Mediterranean style. In short, they looked foreign and modern at first glance.
However, regardless of whether it was an ancient style building or a modern exotic style, all the courtyards and villas were made of extraordinary materials and workmanship. Many of the designs could even be seen to be the work of a master.
Ruan Mengmeng’s gaze swept across the buildings outside the car window, and she said softly, ” I’m guessing that these ancient-style courtyards are the residences of the older generation of the clan, and those new buildings with strong designs are the places where the young live.
“The rivalry within the Zhan family is indeed more serious than we thought.” Li junyu expressed his agreement.
He thought of the information he had just read and the name he saw on that piece of paper. His cold and deep eyes revealed a few imperceptible thoughts.
Ruan Mengmeng did not notice the man’s distracted gaze. She was still observing the situation outside the car when the car suddenly stopped.
Ling bei, who was in charge of driving, turned around. first young Madam, we’re here. The courtyard house in front is where the current acting clan leader of the Zhan family, Zhan hai, lives.
Following Ling bei’s words, ruan Mengmeng’s gaze fell on the siheyuan by the roadside.
This was an unusually grand courtyard with strong traces of history. Compared to other courtyards, this courtyard house occupied the largest area.
It could be seen that the person who lived inside had the most respected status in the Zhan clan.
However, strangely, ruan Mengmeng realized that ever since they drove into the Zhan family’s territory, they had not seen anyone on the road.
Along the way, they didn’t seem to encounter any obstacles. It was completely different from the situation where the inner attendant had told them to submit their identification documents all the way through the customs.
However, time was of the essence. She still had to find her third great uncle to verify her position as the head of the family, so she had no time to think about anything else.
Ruan Mengmeng lowered her head and turned the loose, ancient ring on her left index finger. That was the symbol of the Zhan family’s head. She said to li junyu, who was beside her, ” “Honey, let’s go down.”
“……”
Ruan Mengmeng noticed that li junyu did not respond and turned to look at him. However, she saw that the man’s deep black eyes were looking at the sea under the mountain stream opposite the courtyard house, as if he did not hear her.
Ruan Mengmeng reached out and tugged at li junyu’s sleeve. “Hubby?”
The man snapped out of his daze and realized that ruan Mengmeng was looking at him with concern. Li junyu’s lips curled up.”Yingluo, let’s go. I’ll accompany you.”
Ruan Mengmeng did not suspect him and only thought that li junyu was thinking about work. After all, li junyu had multiple duties. Other than helping her with the Zhan family’s internal affairs, he had many other official matters to attend to.
Ruan Mengmeng held his arm and took the initiative to plant a kiss on his cheek.”Thank you, hubby.”
It was great to have li junyu around. No matter where she was, he could always be by her side and share her burden.
That was what ruan Mengmeng thought.
