I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Time flies, a year and a half passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to New Year's Day in 1965.

Barker Road, a brand new villa surrounded by greenery;

The whole mansion seems to be isolated from the world. The house is located in a lush mountain forest, surrounded by dense woods.

In fact, this is just an illusion. If you look far away, you will soon find traces of urban prosperity;

And wherever you look, there are still other buildings on Baijia Road.

Standing on the high platform, Victoria Harbor at the foot of the mountain, and Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, immediately come into view.

The villa has a large swimming pool, under the blue sky, the surface of the pool is like a mirror, it can be called fairyland fairyland;

And the courtyard of the villa is like your own park. Walking on the brick road, you can not feel the hustle and bustle of the city, but you can feel the inner peace.

Wu Guangyao smiled and said to Lin Yueru who was immersed in it: "How are you doing, are you satisfied?"

Lin Yueru held Wu Guangyao's arm tightly, and said with a little fascination, "Well, I'm very satisfied!"

Patting the back of Lin Yueru's hand, Wu Guangyao took her to visit the room.

Today is the day when Wu Guangyao moved into the villa on Baijiadao. Wu Guangyao took Lin Yueru to visit first, and the whole family will come to stay for one night later.

As for the permanent residence, everyone unanimously decided to stay at No. 79 Deep Water Bay!

The villa on Barker Road is very large, covering an area of ​​more than 6,000 square feet on the first floor, with a total of five floors;

The cost and decoration of the entire Barker Road villa are also expensive, costing a total of 6 million Hong Kong dollars;

It is no problem at all to call it the most expensive private mansion on Hong Kong Island!

It took Wu Guangyao and Lin Yueru an hour to stroll from the first floor to the top floor.

"This is our bedroom? Is this bedroom 1,000 square feet? Why is this bed so big?" Lin Yueru asked three times, looking straight at Wu Guangyao.

"Hehe, the bed is so nice! Save us from being unable to use it!" Wu Guangyao was extremely thick-skinned and looked like an LSP.

Lin Yueru gently pinched Wu Guangyao,

He said angrily: "Hmph, there is no limit to the waste of money!"

Wu Guangyao smiled, neither of them pointed out that Wu Guangyao liked to sleep with many women.

Pulling Lin Yueru to the balcony outside the room, the eyes of the two were immediately attracted!

Wherever you look, blue sea and blue sky, high-rise buildings are intertwined!

"The view here is so good, it's unbelievable that we live on Mount Taiping!" Lin Yueru exclaimed.

Wu Guangyao jokingly said: "Maybe we can live in the Governor's Mansion that day!"

Lin Yueru turned her head and asked seriously, "Are you interested in the Governor of Hong Kong Island?"

Seeing that Lin Yueru didn't hit herself first, Wu Guangyao was very proud;

Maybe in her heart, there is nothing Wu Guangyao can't do!

"I don't want to do it. If we have a son who wants to go into politics, then there is nothing the governor of Hong Kong Island can't do!"

While the two were talking, the villa became lively, and Zhou Xuefen and Li Cui brought their children to the villa;

Lin Youde's family, Zhou Zhiyuan's family, and Fang Ge'er's family also came here for gatherings one after another.

Everyone talked about it, and had a good time with wine!
