The car drove for a long time and left the city center of Fog City, heading toward the suburbs where there was a huge manor. A three-meter-high iron gate blocked people from entering.
Guo Miao looked up at the huge iron gate through the window and the forest.
Hidden behind the iron gate was a wide road surrounded by lush trees. Looking closely, the fence around the iron gate was covered with electric fences, and the security at the door was very tight.
“As expected of the Orsola family,” Guo Miao said.
This family was one of the most prestigious families in Country B.
In the past few hundred years, due to the development of industry and technology, many old nobles had lost their original status. However, even during this time, the Orsola family still flourished.
Director Jacks generation of Orsola family members had a pivotal position in the literary and political world.
However, there were some dirty businesses behind this family that no one knew about.
Therefore, every generation of Orsola people would often experience some misfortune, for example, Director Jack.
“The Tong family also has a garden of similar size, but it’s not in the capital. It’s in Lancheng,” replied Tong Pei.
The Tong family had made their fortune in Lancheng. Guo Miao had more or less heard of this story.
“The Tong family’s previous partners in Country B were mainly the Orsola family, but it’s still very dangerous to do business with the Orsolas.”
Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. A family like the Orsolas, which had decades of history, naturally had extraordinary strength.
“It’s said that the members of their family have extremely high requirements when it comes to the loyalty of their partners and family members. It’s not that simple,” Guo Miao said.
Tong Pei nodded.
Over the past few hundred years, those who betrayed the Orsolas had either disappeared or died tragically, but the Orsolas still stood tall.
The car stopped in front of the gate. The butler in uniform walked up and asked for Tong Pei’s name.
Even though he was just a butler, the texture and cut of his suit were top-notch. It was even trimmed with gold thread and embellished with black gems. There was a scarf in his chest pocket which was also high-end.
“Mr. Tong, I’ve already informed Fifth Young Master. Fifth Young Master will send someone to pick you up soon.” The butler smiled at Tong Pei.
Tong Pei nodded, indicating that Guo Miao could get out of the car.
A strict family like the Orsola family would not allow foreign vehicles to enter Orsola Manor.
Even though Tong Pei had been their family’s partner for many years, they could only enter the manor in the Orsola family’s own car.
Guo A/Iiao understood Tong Pei’s meaning and opened the car door. She felt the butler’s curious and even playful gaze.
“This is… I’ve never heard about your marriage before, Mr. Tong,” the butler asked.
“This is my friend, the doctor 1 brought to see Fifth Young A^aster,” Tong Pei said.
Guo Miao’s cheeks burned when she heard this.
She looked like a high school student. How could she be Tong Pei’s wife?
The butler frowned and looked at Guo Aliao. In Country B, the age of marriage was sixteen. It was not surprising for a successful man like Tong Pei to have a wife as young as Guo Miao.
However, if this person who looked like a little girl was a doctor, the butler was a little puzzled.
How could such a young lady be a doctor? Weren’t all the famous doctors in China old and white-haired?
Out of politeness, he finally retracted his gaze. “Then, come with me.”
The butler brought the two of them to a Lincoln limousine, which was especially used to pick up guests.
The interior was luxurious with leather seats and paintings by new artists. There were sweet pastries and fruits on the table, and red wine was swirling in the glass.
It didn’t look like he was picking up a guest but seemed more like he was inviting a guest to go on a tour of the manor in a luxury car.
As soon as they got into the car, a female butler looked at the two of them with a smile. “Fifth Young Master has already told me about your arrival. He is still tidying up his appearance, so please sit with us in the manor.”
Guo Miao frowned. She was obviously here to treat someone, so how did it end up as a tour of the manor?
Moreover, wasn’t Director Jack paralyzed in bed? Why did he still have to tidy up his appearance?
