Li Beinian packed her suitcase on the same night. She didn’t have to concern herself with the visa and paperwork.
After everything was sorted, they arrived in England the next day. Mu Xichen ensured that Li Beinian was tightly bundled up.
As for himself, he only had on a rather thin-looking cashmere coat.
As they got off the plane, they were hit by the bite of the chilling wind. Li Beinian found herself shivering even in her thick down jacket. She turned to look at Mu Xichen and asked, “Are you cold?”
“I’m fine.” Mu Xichen put his arm around her and clicked his tongue in disapproval. “Are you feeling cold even wearing all these?”
Li Beinian hugged Mu Xichen and chuckled. “I’m just worried you’ll feel cold.”
Mu Xichen snorted, but it was obvious that he was enjoying her attention.
Nico walked in front of the lovey-dovey couple, feeling amused and envious.
Will looked at them and reminded them, “Please watch the steps.”
Li Beinian reluctantly let go of Mu Xichen’s arm. However, when she looked down, she saw Butler Will’s polite and gentlemanly smile. For a moment, she thought he must have done that on purpose, he was probably jealous of their public display of affection!
It was rather cold in England, the ground temperature was only 5 degrees Celsius. The plane had brought them right into the property of the Rothschild family manor.
A long row of servants, gardeners, chefs, and other people came forward. When they saw Nico, they shouted in broken Chinese, “Welcome home, Sir!”
Li Beinian was taken aback. At a glance, she estimated there were almost a hundred people there!
Li Beinian clicked her tongue. The next moment, she heard them shouting in broken Chinese, “Welcome home, Miss!”
Nico seemed satisfied and turned to ask his daughter, “Are you happy with things so far, Beinian?”
Li Beinian was dumbstruck.
Oh, with all due respect, it’s beyond my ability to appreciate such a spectacular sight.
She mumbled a few words in response, then walked in with Will.
Li Beinian had always known that Nico was rather rich.
However, she did not expect Nico to be wealthy to this extent.
Not to mention that there were close to a hundred servants of various types, every step of the way was marked by understated luxury.
For example, stairs of hundred-year-old agarwood, flooring of yellow rosewood, and totems studded with colorful gems…
Li Beinian was almost in tears as she thought, Daddy, do you know how hard it is to maintain this sort of wood? Do you know how much wood has gone into making this flooring!!
Besides these things that could be found in the immensity of the manor grounds, there was also a garden full of beautiful flowers.
Obviously, it was very cold now and few plants would be able to thrive in this weather. However, the garden in the manor grounds was blooming beautifully!
Nico smiled at Li Beinian and said, “Since you’re home, you should meet the elders in the family. They came especially to see you, knowing that you’ve returned.”
Li Beinian asked weakly, “Are there many of them?”
Butler Will smiled and said, “You’re only responsible for receiving the gifts.”
Yes, these relatives were only here to give gifts and make their presence known.
Li Beinian’s smile faded when she saw the blond-haired and blue-eyed native Englishmen who looked so different from Nico. They even spoke in alien-sounding Chinese.
Damn, there were hundreds of them!
