Chapter 273 Misfortune at Home 1_1
Madam Dugu gently patted her hand and comforted her with a smile, "Xiuhong, don’t worry. With our Tianxing by your side, your husband Zhuang Li will definitely be alright. He will be alright, don’t worry..."
Cheng Xiuhong was Madam Dugu’s childhood best friend. The two of them went to elementary school, middle school, and high school together and had a very close relationship.
However, during the sixties and seventies, the Cheng family, due to their overseas connections, became a target and were forced to flee Capital City, settling in Hong Kong.
Over the decades, the Cheng family had become one of Hong Kong’s most renowned real estate tycoons.
After the economic reforms and opening-up policies, Cheng Xiuhong reestablished contact with Madam Dugu and they resumed their friendship. Although they did not meet often, their relationship remained as good as ever.
Encouraged by Madam Dugu, the Cheng family began to invest gradually in real estate within the country. The well-known luxury residential area "South Island Gardens" in Capital City was developed by Cheng’s real estate company.
Perhaps it was the inclination of older people to yearn for their roots.
In recent years, Cheng Xiuhong and her husband Zhuang Li returned to Capital City and settled in a villa in South Island Gardens.
South Island Gardens was not too far from the Imperial Compound, only about a ten to twenty minute drive. Usually, Cheng Xiuhong and Madam Dugu would often meet up for meals and shopping trips, or visit each other’s homes, living quite comfortably and leisurely.
Cheng Xiuhong was a woman with a very strong personality. She had founded Cheng’s real estate company and initially relied on her maiden family for the starting capital. Thus, the company was named after the Cheng surname and she held the majority of the shares.
