Government officials held a grand ceremony for the reconstruction of the Linwu District on the day when the renovation was completed and talked to reporters from all walks of life.
Although Qiao Wen was contemptuous of this act of taking credit, he didn’t care much. Anyway, no matter how they brag about their political achievements, they have to bring their Wennan real estate with them. Only Ouyang Yuan was so angry that he could only blow his nose and stare. The officials were respectful in front of him, so that he couldn’t express his temper. In the end, he could only pretend to be unwell, leave the stage early, and leave the politicians to enjoy their performances.
As soon as Ouyang Yuan retreated, Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan also left with the excuse of sending him off. This was the first time the two got into Ouyang Yuan’s car and was invited by him to be a guest at home.
This famous architect, both inside and outside, did not live in a wealthy area such as Victoria Peak Repulse Bay, but instead lived in a three-story building near Tin Shui Wai.
It was originally an old building before the war. After being remodeled by him, although it looks ordinary in appearance, it is very quiet and elegant after entering.
“Master, you are back!”
After entering the entrance hall, an old lady with kind eyebrows greeted with her silver-white hair tangled into a neat bun. She was wearing a plaid cheongsam and a pair of embroidered cloth shoes under her feet. She was very old-fashioned.
Ouyang Yuan responded gently, took off his hat and put it in her hand, smiled and introduced to the two juniors: “Anan Awen, this is my wife.”
“Hello Mrs. Ouyang!”
“Hello, how are you!” Mrs. Ouyang is already in her old age, her face is covered with wrinkles that symbolize the years, but she still can see that she should be a beauty when she is young. With a dear face, Qiao Wen checked Ouyang Yuan’s information. He was born in a poor family in Suzhou, worked in a tea garden, and was funded by his owner to study successfully, and traveled across the oceans to further his studies in Cambridge. Only when he returned from his studies and returned to Suzhou’s hometown, the host family was already in a downfall. The young lady of the host family who had been admired for a while also married others and became a widow. It was a difficult life.
At that time, it coincided with the end of the Northern Expedition, and there was a rare prosperity in the country. He has obtained a teaching position in Fudan and has also begun to undertake major projects for the new government. He has a bright future, but he insists on marrying a widowed hostess. After several decades of turnover, the couple went from Shanghai to the United States and settled in Hong Kong City after experiencing war.
Mrs. Ouyang asked the servant to bring tea, and said softly: “You are chatting, I will arrange lunch.”
Ouyang Yuan nodded: “You let Gui Gui make a squirrel mandarin fish, and you will taste it yourself.”
Mrs. Ouyang smiled and nodded: “I know.”
Xiao Yingying watched his wife leave, and Ouyang Yuan stretched out his hand and joked: “The two little bosses are drinking tea.”
Qiao Wen laughed, looked around the room, and said: “Uncle Ouyang’s taste is really extraordinary, elegant and simple, yet modern and fashionable.”
Ouyang Yuan smiled and waved his hand: “Okay, Awen, you don’t want to flatter me. Now that the renovation of the iliac house has been completed, I know that you did not help for no reason. You can speak now if you have anything to do.”
Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy. Qiao Wen clenched his fist against his nose and coughed slightly. Since the other party is already straight to the point, he can’t turn around anymore, chuckled lightly, and said: “It seems that you can’t hide anything from Uncle Ouyang’s eyes. We really have something to ask Uncle Ouyang for help.”
