Chapter 4: Vines Entwine the Xu Mansion
This particular year on Hong Kong Island, the wealthy faced no stringent conditions to adopt an orphan. Xu Si was young and wealthy, while Pei Zhen was old enough to be capable of self-care.
Therefore, obtaining adoption approval wasn’t difficult.
However, Anshi mentioned it would take some time to complete the procedures and for Pei Zhen to visit the new school and familiarize himself with the environment.
Xu Si went home first.
Her family’s home was located in Cloudtop Bay.
It was a mansion in a traditional wealthy district of Hong Kong Island. Even in 1985, it was prime real estate, worth a fortune, let alone its projected value twenty years later.
Since her bankruptcy and the mortgaging of the house in her past life, she hadn’t set foot in it for many years.
So, returning now, Xu Si’s steps were somewhat heavy.
Though called a mansion, the Xu family’s house was more like a palace. Its decor leaned towards a luxurious Northern European style—dark and avant-garde. The courtyard was filled with countless precious plants, their vines clinging to splendid iron railings.
It was striking and yet absurd.
Navigating the familiar yet intricate corridors, the concept of "rebirth" began to materialize.
