33 Sassoon Road, Pokfulam, Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
There stands a European-style castle building built of stone.
This mansion, covering an area of nearly 3,500 square meters, seems out of place among the villas.
Like a shining pearl, it overlooks Victoria Harbour at night.
At six o'clock on Sunday evening, Mo Zhexuan arrived at the parking lot outside the manor on time, driven by his driver and bodyguard Li Erli.
As soon as you get off the car, what catches your eye are the two stone lions weighing thousands of pounds in front of the door. Their majestic and domineering aura is vivid and lifelike, which makes you sigh at the wealthy background of the Huo family.
This mansion of the Fok family was once a famous "haunted house". Its owner was Luk Yun To, a famous wealthy man in Singapore. At that time, he was a movie tycoon in Hong Kong like Run Run Shaw.
It is unexpected that the plane the whole family was on ended up in a plane crash. Otherwise, Run Run Shaw might not have been able to dominate the Hong Kong media and film industry for decades.
Ho Ying-tung bought this mansion for HK$1.64 million in 1970. Later, the mansion was valued at HK$2 billion.
Huo Zhenting stood at the door to welcome guests. When he saw the iconic Ford Cortina in the parking lot, a smile appeared on his face and he hurried to greet it warmly.
"Xiaoxuan! You're so punctual!"
"Brother Huo! I was afraid I'd be late!"
Mo Zhexuan handed the carefully prepared gift to the Huo family servant beside him. He had put a lot of thought into raising this gift.
Wrapped inside was a hundred-year-old wild ginseng from Northeast China, which was picked out by Ji Shizhong with his help. Of course, it was easy for Huo Yingdong to get such a tonic, but it was also a token of his appreciation.
"You are too polite. What other gifts are you bringing?"
"Uncle Huo invited me so kindly. This is my first visit, so how could I come empty-handed?"
“.............”
The two chatted for a few words, and then Mo Zhexuan followed the Huo family's servants into the manor.
The magnificent hall is eye-catching, the crystal chandelier shines brightly with high-end golden light, the bright red carpet is soft and comfortable, and the noble and elegant large round turntables are arranged in a staggered manner.
The flowers on the table are gorgeous and gorgeous, and pairs of young men and women are dancing elegantly with each other in the center of the stage, with happy smiles on their faces. This is the daily life of the upper class.
In his previous life on Wall Street, Mo Zhexuan was also very keen on this kind of life, but in this life, he couldn't muster any interest in it. After getting used to it, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
After all, clinking glasses, singing and dancing, eating delicious food... it may feel fresh once or twice, but it becomes really boring in the long run, and you will fall into the quagmire of desire again and again, unable to extricate yourself.
"Can I ask you to dance?"
When I looked up, I saw a beautiful woman in a red long dress. Her fiery red lips, bright eyes, white teeth, and a face that was so beautiful that the moon and flowers would shame the moon were eye-catching.
With her long flowing hair, she looks like a fairy from heaven. Her smile reveals a hint of innocence and purity, and her beauty is breathtaking.
"It's my pleasure!"
Mo Zhexuan also didn't expect that Li Peizhen, whom he met last time, was so beautiful after dressing up. He immediately took the beauty's hand and walked into the center of the stage and started dancing to the rhythm.
In his previous life on Wall Street, in order to attract investment and please the rich, he had already mastered the waltz ballroom dance. Mo Zhexuan gently held Li Peizhen's right hand with his left hand, and his right hand held the edge under the other's left shoulder blade.
After the two adapted to each other's rhythm, their steps became faster and faster, as if they were a whole, transforming into a dancing elf, instantly attracting the attention of the entire audience.
"Look! They dance so well. Is that financial tycoon Mo Zhexuan? Didn't they say he never went to college?"
"Don't judge a book by its cover! This dance is amazing!"
“..............”
After just one dance, thunderous applause broke out instantly. However, in a corner not far from the two of them, a man in a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses was staring at Mo Zhexuan with hostility, his eyes spitting fire.
A group of Chinese tycoons upstairs in the hall were also teasing each other about "Uncle Four" Li Ka-shing.
"Old Li! How could you be so scheming? Ah! You actually let your daughter seduce you personally."
Zheng Yutong felt very unbalanced and wanted to call her daughter back from the United States immediately. If she married her daughter to such a rich son-in-law, their family might instantly surpass the ship charter king and become the richest Chinese.
"Old Li! You have such a bad conscience! It's a pity that all four of my daughters are married."
The charter king showed a trace of loneliness in his expression. Although he is now the richest Chinese and his career has reached its peak, who can understand the pain in his heart? He has worked hard for so many years, but he has no successor and no son.
Is this God's jealousy? Although I have four sons-in-law, they are not as good as my own sons after all! Sons-in-law are still outsiders after all! Alas...
"Chao Qiong! The one below is a true young talent. If you can get together with Mo Zhexuan, Dad will welcome you with open arms."
It took a lot of effort for Gambling King He to come to the Huo family this time. Although he and Huo Yingdong had been incompatible for a long time because of the Aoyu incident, after asking a group of tycoons to intercede and expressing his willingness to return to China to invest, he finally obtained the other party's understanding, which allowed him to come to the Huo family's dinner.
Last time, Mo Zhexuan invited Ruitai Fund to invest. I had received the invitation, but I was not in Hong Kong, so I asked the general manager of Shun Tak Group to attend in person and invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Now that I see him, I feel a little regretful that I didn’t get to know Mo Zhexuan earlier.
"Dad! What did you say? I already have a crush."
He Chaoqiong frowned when he heard this and immediately refused.
Ever since I met Danny Chan in Lan Kwai Fong when I was 19 years old.
Her heart is already on the other person.
No matter how long the world lasts, she remains steadfast in her love for this handsome man who is four years older than her.
"you!"
Gambling King He glared fiercely, but when he thought of so many outsiders in front of him, he finally controlled his anger.
"Zhen Ting! I think everyone is almost here. Go downstairs and invite Xiao Xuan up. We'll start the feast soon."
Huo Yingdong looked at the time and found that it was already half past seven. It was almost time for dinner, so he immediately gave instructions to his eldest son.
Huo Zhenting nodded, quickly went downstairs and came to Mo Zhexuan and Li Peizhen, and said jokingly:
"Hey! You two are already in love so soon! You must invite me to your wedding banquet!"
Li Peizhen's face flushed red immediately after hearing this, and her earlobes were even hotter. She secretly glanced at Mo Zhexuan and saw him say expressionlessly:
"It is my great honor to be favored by Miss Li!"
"Don't be so ungrateful, Peizhen is a famous beauty in our circle. Come on! Follow me upstairs! The dinner is about to start."
"good!"
