Chapter 297: Liu’s Ancestral Mansion**
"Are you ready?" Jeru asked Thea, who responded by giving him a nod and a smile.
Today they would move into the Liu’s ancestral mansion, where they would live with Old Madam Liu for several months. Jeru carried their suitcases and put them into the car trunk. They only packed a few things because Jeru still had some of his stuff at the old house, and everything else was provided.
Liu’s Ancestral Mansion was not that far. It was just thirty minutes ride from their own house.
"Wow, it’s huge!" Thea gasped in awe at the view of Liu’s Ancestral Mansion as soon as they entered the main gate. "Why would you and your father live somewhere else when your family owns a house this big?" She puzzled.
Jeru snickered, "Well, you’ve met my grandmother, right? Do you think anyone would last long with her?"
"Oh, right," Thea responded and chuckled when she realized that Jeru had a point. Old Madam Liu was definitely a terror of an elder. Maybe that was also the reason why this mansion had an eerie vibe to it.
Yes, it’s a massive estate, so it was somewhat normal that it seemed to lack warmth. But looking at it, Thea just felt sad by how gloomy it appeared.
"Is it true that your basement is as big as a village?" Thea suddenly asked as she got reminded of an article she had read before in which it was written that the Liu’s ancestral mansion was so huge that its underground could fit a village. Jeru laughed and answered, "I really don’t know. I have never explored the whole property. When I was still living here, I mostly just stayed in my room. In case you haven’t noticed, I didn’t like staying here that much... Maybe the rumor about the basement is true."
Then he added, "Do you want to check it? We can explore the whole mansion if you want. It’s fine if it’s with you..."
