Chapter 1012 - 003 Chance Encounter, Beautiful Delicate Lady? (Second Update)
The carriage moved along, passing through the bustling main streets, growing quieter as it advanced. It wasn’t because they were entering a remote area, but because the neighborhood was exceedingly high-end.
Indeed, high-end was the first impression Lin Yuan had as she glimpsed the tall houses and large manors outside.
The wide road, the lofty mansions with their red bricks and green tiles, each residence adorned with two enormous stone lions at the entrance.
The carriage wasn’t moving slowly, yet Lin Yuan felt it took a long time to reach from the gate of one house to the next, and that was just the front gate. If one were to walk around to the back gate to see the full size of the mansion, it would undoubtedly take even longer.
What was more astonishing was that despite it not being late at night, there wasn’t a single person on the street. The Lin family’s carriage clip-clopped along Chang Street, its presence starkly conspicuous. The stillness of the area was in stark contrast with the lively main street they had just left behind.
Lin Wei and Xiao He were both so stunned that they had stopped speaking and laughing; now, both of their mouths were tightly shut, as if afraid that making any noise would disturb the unusual quietness of the atmosphere.
Xia Zheng tugged at Lin Yuan’s hand and whispered into her ear, "If you ask me, you shouldn’t be living here. Despite these houses being big and imposing, they don’t have any warmth to them, not like in the Lin family hollow. But then again, it was Little White Rabbit who gave it to us for nothing, so why not take it?"
Lin Yuan’s mouth twitched, so this fellow was just after blackmailing someone for a house!
However, speaking of which, although she hadn’t seen Zhao Hongde’s gift of a courtyard yet, just being in this environment made her feel very uncomfortable. If even she felt discomfort, then Mr. and Mrs. Lin Jiaxin were undoubtedly feeling it more intensely.
Lady Liu gently lowered the curtain, swallowing nervously. Ever since the carriage had entered the street lined with tall houses, she had unconsciously straightened up, sitting in an immaculate posture.
