Chapter 767 - 367: The Xiang Family Banquet, VIP Treatment!

6:50 PM.

The sky gradually darkened, and streetlights lit up everywhere.

A black Mercedes G-Class and a GLS drove into Huabin Manor one after the other.

The two cars drove along a tree-lined road within the manor, lined with tall French sycamores, for a full three to four minutes.

Finally, they arrived at an extraordinarily grand giant bronze gate.

The gate was elegantly and heavily designed, carved with patterns of auspicious clouds and flying cranes.

Through the gap of the slightly opened gate, one could glimpse park-like vast lawns and the faint outlines of classical buildings in the distance.

Security personnel, dressed in crisp uniforms and wearing earpieces, had already received orders.

After a simple identity check of Jiang Tao and his party, they respectfully saluted and let them through directly.

When the vehicles finally entered the manor, inside the car, apart from Jiang Tao who had been here before and remained calm.

Everyone else was rendered speechless by the scene before them.

Is this still a residence?

This is clearly a private royal garden!

The first thing that came into view was an endlessly expansive, velvet-like green lawn.

Even in the twilight, you could feel its meticulously trimmed texture.

In the distance, there was a huge artificial lake sparkling with rippling light.

In the center of the lake stood a grandiose ancient pavilion.

The driveway meandered, flanked by meticulously designed Sino-Western garden landscapes.

Precious podocarpus trees, tall camphor trees, artistically arranged rockeries and waterfalls.

And various exquisitely shaped landscape lights that shone as bright as daylight, even at night.

Everywhere you looked, everything collectively painted a picture of extreme luxury and tranquility coexisting.

"Wow, in a place like Beijing, to have such a big manor, how much would that cost?"

Jiang Wen looked at the luxurious manor outside the window and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

This is land-price-is-gold Beijing, not like Jiang Family Manor, where an acre costs only a few thousand in the countryside!

"No wonder it’s Beijing, so many rich people..."

Tian Xiaomei also couldn’t imagine what kind of experience it would be to live in such a manor.

"Mom, this is prettier and bigger than the park outside our neighborhood, I really like it here, let’s buy a house here!"

The young Jiang Xue opened her big bright eyes, expressing her deep affection for the place.

"Haha, although it’s luxurious here, going to school and such might not be that convenient. How about we buy a house here when you go to college?"

Jiang Tao lovingly rubbed the little one’s head, his eyes full of confident sparkle.

There’s still more than ten years before Jiang Xue goes to college.

At Jiang Tao’s rate of wealth growth, he’ll probably be able to buy Huabin Manor in its entirety by then.

"Really? It’s a deal, let’s pinky swear~"

Jiang Xue, hearing her dad’s words, happily made a pinky promise with him.

"You’re just spoiling your daughter."

Xu Li chuckled softly, looking at Jiang Tao and her daughter with an unspeakably gentle gaze.

With Jiang Tao and Jiang Xue’s banter, the atmosphere in the car lightened up significantly, and everyone gradually recovered from their initial shock at first witnessing Huabin Manor.

Under the butler’s guidance, the vehicle continued driving along the smooth asphalt road, as if it were a racetrack.

Finally, it stopped in front of the main building, which integrated both European classical and modern design elements.

This was a massive three-story villa.

The exterior walls were made of light-colored stone, with enormous arched doors and windows, a broad Roman column porch, and a meticulously tended garden in the front.

Warm yellow lights spilled through the windows, making the whole building look like a castle from a fairy tale.

As soon as the car came to a stop, the thick solid wood door with intricate carved patterns on the main building was opened from inside.

Xiang Huabin, dressed in a well-tailored dark Zhongshan suit, looked vigorous and came out with a sincere smile on his face.

Beside Xiang Huabin was Qu Jinzhu, looking elegant in a qipao, with a gentle demeanor and a well-maintained complexion.

Following behind the parents, Xiang Yiwei was wearing a custom-made suit, her face also brimming with an enthusiastic smile.

Given Xiang Huabin’s status and position, there were indeed not many guests in Beijing he would personally greet at the door.

This fully demonstrated his gratitude and respect for Jiang Tao.

"Jiang Tao! And all esteemed guests, welcome, welcome! I hope the journey wasn’t too tiring!"

Xiang Huabin stepped forward to shake Jiang Tao’s hand, giving it a firm shake.

His gaze also swept across the crowd, eyes full of smiles.

Xiang Huabin’s warm and sincere attitude, without a hint of arrogance of a top elite, instantly eased the tension and formality of Jiang Tao’s family.

"Xiao Jiang, you finally came, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you these past few days."

Qu Jinzhu also greeted Jiang Tao with a gentle smile, then turned her gaze to Xu Li and Jiang Xue, speaking softly:

"This must be your partner, Xiao Xu? She’s very beautiful, a perfect match for you, and your daughter is adorable too."

Qu Jinzhu’s speaking tone was very gentle, with warmth that made people feel comfortable.

"Chairman Xiang, Aunt Qu, Yiwei, these are my parents, Jiang Wen, Tian Xiaomei."

"These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xu Wencheng, Du Yongmei."

"My wife Xu Li, my daughter Xiao Xue, and Xiao Xue’s aunt Xu Sha."

"This is President Xiang of Huabin Manor and Madam Qu Jinzhu, and their daughter Xiang Yiwei."

After shaking hands with Xiang Huabin, Jiang Tao also smiled and introduced his family members one by one and introduced the Xiang family to them.
