Chapter 944: Maybe Someone Is Right Here (3)
The luxury car drove through the open castle gates.
The castle belonging to Grandma Zhuang’s family is in Luxembourg, and it’s not small. It’s a five-story castle building, with particularly high floors typical of ancient times. So, when people look up, they feel like it’s at least ten stories high. It stands out against the sky, not at all short, and quite magnificent.
After the guests arrived, the staff inside the castle came out to help with the luggage.
Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui definitely didn’t plan to stay here for long, so they only brought a travel bag. Gu Nuan carried that snazzy Adidas bag.
Tang Shaohong personally carried the bag for her, not allowing others to touch it.
The group walked into the castle.
It seems the hostess of the castle is not present. In the lavishly decorated grand hall downstairs, no one came to greet them except Zhuang Haoxiong, who personally went to the airport to pick them up.
After Zhuang Haoxiong returned to the castle, he seemed to get busy again. He instructed someone to tell them that they could rest for a while in the rooms he arranged for them in the castle. In the evening, when everyone in the castle, including his grandmother, would be back, they would be invited to dinner. That’s when they’d officially welcome them.
Gu Nuan and Zhong Qiaohui thought that since the hosts were occupied, they shouldn’t interfere. They followed the butler to the rooms Zhuang Haoxiong had arranged for the two of them.
Because the castle is so large, reportedly with fifty to sixty rooms, accommodating just the two of them was no problem at all. Each could have their own guest room.
So, the two each stayed in a guest room, conveniently next door to each other.
Tang Shaohong and Tang Sili weren’t as lucky. It seems that here, people are particular about distinctions in status. The hosts and the aides are certainly kept separate; they can’t stay together nor even in the same area.
If Gu Nuan and the others are staying on the third floor of the castle, Tang Shaohong and the others were taken to the basement level one, which is where the castle staff resides.
There, Tang Shaohong and Tang Sili shared a room.
Later, it was said that when the butler heard that Tang Sili was actually a professor, he didn’t dare to belittle a professor’s status. So, he moved Tang Sili to an upstairs guest room. Tang Sili stayed on the fourth floor, a level higher than Gu Nuan and the others, and not directly above them but on the west side of the castle. Gu Nuan and the others stayed on the east side.
This certainly put them in completely different areas. They were almost scattered throughout the castle.
Gu Nuan checked and found that perhaps because they were quite far from the city center, the mobile signal was often not full, although making calls to each other should be no problem.
If cell phone contact didn’t work, each room was equipped with a landline phone to make calls.
Gu Nuan tried dialing the room phone for Zhong Qiaohui next door.
Zhong Qiaohui answered, and upon hearing her voice, immediately laughed, saying, "Isn’t it fun?"
Apparently, this young lady saw this place as a childhood fairy tale park and completely forgot the real reason they came here.
Zhong Qiaohui was excited, wanting to explore the castle, saying, "I just pulled open the curtains to look outside. It’s just like the books described, all you see is forest. There’s lush green grass, perfect for flying kites."
Hearing no response from Gu Nuan, Zhong Qiaohui continued sharing her childhood dream, "Gu Nuan, do you think this castle could have dungeons for prisoners? Underground?"
How would Gu Nuan know? This is someone else’s home.
