Chapter 579: Chapter 0579: Throwing into Lake Como to Feed the Fish
Because of the incident at Milan Cathedral, Ye Xunhuan and his two companions didn’t feel like sightseeing and went straight back.
However, before leaving, Ye Xunhuan looked meaningfully at Nicholas, who watched Ye Xunhuan depart.
After Ye Xunhuan left, Nicholas immediately said to a Priest beside him, "Go find out who dared to interrupt our Mass!"
As for Ye Xunhuan, Nicholas didn’t share with those around him, as their level wasn’t high enough, and knowing too much wouldn’t do them any good.
This time Xiahou Yuzhu didn’t bring Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing to stay in a hotel; she took them to her home instead!
Xiahou Yuzhu’s home was in the wealthy district by Lake Como in Milan.
Lake Como is a world-famous scenic leisure resort, a renowned scenic area in Italy, located in a basin at the southern foot of the Alps, where many famous international films have also been shot.
The historic and architecturally valuable villas by the lake are the most attractive features there, and many European socialites take pride in owning a villa by Lake Como. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
That Luo Hanlin and Xiahou Yuzhu owned a villa by Lake Como surprised Ye Xunhuan immensely.
This wasn’t something that could be achieved with just money; status was equally important, otherwise so many European social elites wouldn’t dream of owning a villa here.
This place was truly a paradise on earth, surrounded by mountains and water, with an incomparable natural beauty.
After entering the small town by Lake Como, Xiahou Yuzhu said, "I originally planned for you to tour the city first and then come here, but now, it seems we can only come here first!"
"Auntie, this place is so beautiful. Do you and Uncle really live here?" Ye Xunhuan, filled with curiosity, looked around through the car window.
Xiahou Yuzhu nodded, "Yes, we live here. Later, the brand merchants Uncle contacted for you will also come. We’ll all sit on the yacht together, cruising the lake while talking business!"
Upon hearing Xiahou Yuzhu’s words, Mei Hanqing’s eyes lit up with excitement. She really loved this place—it was so beautiful, like something out of a fairy tale!
Having a house of her own here would be such a wonderful thing!
Xiahou Yuzhu’s villa was located by Lake Como and was a Baroque-style building, looking almost like a castle.
Under Xiahou Yuzhu’s invitation, Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing entered the villa. As soon as Mei Hanqing stepped in, she was deeply attracted to the opulent, dreamlike interior.
It was just like a luxurious palace, a castle, with exquisite interior decoration!
"Auntie, your home isn’t just a house, it’s like a castle!" Ye Xunhuan said, licking his lips at the sights before him.
Laughing lightly at Ye Xunhuan’s words, Xiahou Yuzhu said, "You’re exaggerating; it’s just a place to sleep and rest!"
"Make yourselves comfortable!"
Then Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing slowly settled on the sofa. Ye Xunhuan took out a cigarette, about to light it but then seemed to think better of it and gestured to put it back.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuzhu immediately said, "It’s fine, smoke if you want to!"
While they were talking, a servant brought over three cups of tea.
Ye Xunhuan gave a sheepish smile, no longer restrained, and lit a cigarette for himself, "Auntie, now I finally understand why Ruoxi calls you a wealthy lady!"
"What wealthy lady," Xiahou Yuzhu chuckled, "When the old man at home passes everything to Ruoxi, my bit of wealth will be nothing but a drizzle to her—it won’t count for much at all!"
Hearing Xiahou Yuzhu’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps Xiahou Yuzhu was exaggerating a bit, but from her words, one could tell that the Xiahou family was very wealthy, way beyond what Xiahou Yuzhu herself owned.
Although very curious about the Xiahou family, Ye Xunhuan did not ask much.
If he had asked Xiahou Yuzhu, it would have been the same as telling her that he knew nothing about the Xiahou family.
So Ye Xunhuan just smiled without saying much more.
"Xunhuan, Miss Mei, you two will stay here during your time in Milan," Xiahou Yuzhu said softly. "If you want to go out, bring a bodyguard with you. The family has a yacht, so if you want to go boating on the lake, just let me know, or you can tell Norman."
"I understand, Auntie!"
"I know you two are wondering when to discuss collaborations with those brands, but don’t worry, your uncle has already set a time with them, the day after tomorrow at six in the evening!"
"We’ll follow Auntie’s arrangements!" Ye Xunhuan said as he exhaled a thick puff of smoke. "Auntie, may I go out for a walk by myself?"
"Of course!" Xiahou Yuzhu replied without hesitation. "But are you sure you don’t want Auntie to come with you?"
"No need!"
"Alright then, but you must bring a bodyguard, otherwise, you’re not allowed to go out!"
"Sure!" Ye Xunhuan agreed very readily.
Afterwards, Ye Xunhuan asked Mei Hanqing if she wanted to go out, and of course, she was eager to do so, so she left the villa with Ye Xunhuan.
Xiahou Yuzhu then found ten bodyguards for Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing, who left the villa in a very stylish manner.
Ye Xunhuan had always fantasized about having a group of henchmen when he went out, being able to snatch any beautiful woman he saw and taking her back...
But he hadn’t expected his dream to come true today!
Only, the part about snatching beautiful women was probably an impossibility.
When Ye Xunhuan and Mei Hanqing left the villa, a sharp glint shot from Xiahou Yuzhu’s eyes: "You little bastard, you sure have a big life, not even this killed you!"
As her words fell, Xiahou Yuzhu let out a suppressed sigh before picking up her phone to dial Luo Hanlin’s number!
The call connected instantly!
As soon as the connection was made, Luo Hanlin’s voice immediately came through the earpiece, sounding somewhat eager.
"How’s the progress of the matter?"
"It failed!" Xiahou Yuzhu said heavily. "He has a big life indeed!"
"He hasn’t suspected you, has he?" Luo Hanlin’s voice immediately turned grave.
"He shouldn’t have," Xiahou Yuzhu said softly. "I told him last night that you have an enemy who’s come seeking vengeance and has been trying to assassinate us, he shouldn’t suspect anything!"
"That’s good."
"It’s just the Catholic side..."
"It is a bit problematic, but if they find out, I’ll figure out a way to deal with it."
"That’s well. But, how are you getting on with that matter?"
"The day after tomorrow, he will be fed to the fishes in Lake Como!" Luo Hanlin said darkly.
