From afar, a medieval castle was visible, carrying the weight of history under the balcony.
This is a castle!
Chiang Xiao widened her eyes.
This clearly is a castle! And itâs a very large and beautiful castle.
Calling this castle an estate is misleading.
The iron gate in front slowly opened, and the car drove in.
Only after entering this gate can one truly feel the vastness inside.
They appeared to be driving through a garden, on a straight road lined with rows of grapes, looking out from the car window to see no end in sight.
"Grapes are grown here, Mr. Wen Li owns a winery, and the quality of the wine is excellent, sold to various countries. In addition, beyond the mountain is a large flower field for making perfumes and essential oils."
This is Mr. Wen Liâs enterprise.
Owning such a vast enterprise, no wonder he has the money to hold this art competition. Only those with fortune and leisure have the spare energy to invest in art.
For ordinary people, basic needs are more important than art.
"Is Arthur also helping manage it?"
"Yes, I mainly handle the businesses in Asia, with the support of the Pheng Family domestically. Itâs a win-win situation."
Because of this, although he wasnât a direct heir, he contributed to the business scope of the Pheng Family, so he held a position within the family.
Though not explicitly stated, Chiang Xiao understood clearly.
After entering the gate, they drove another five or six minutes before arriving in front of the castle.
Several cars were already parked there. To be honest, these cars seemed quite interesting to Chiang Xiao, with a classical touch.
Moreover, to her surprise, two carriages were parked beside them.
These carriages were the courtly style sheâd seen in movies, making her feel like sheâd traversed through time again.
Having spent a few years domestically, sheâd grown accustomed to the 80s vibe, but Country Y presented a fresh experience altogether.
After getting out of the car, Pheng Fei said, "Iâll take you inside to rest first, lunch will start at eleven oâclock, at which point Mr. Wen Li will appear. He might be inspecting the flower field in the back mountain now."
Chiang Xiao nodded.
Even though sheâd seen several cars, after entering the castle, they didnât encounter anyone except for two servant-like women greeting them.
"I have arranged a resting room for you," Pheng Fei said.
"No one else? Like Luna."
Luna was the lover of the founder of the Sjöv Painterâs Alliance and seemed to harbor some jealousy and hostility toward her, a fact Chiang Xiao hadnât forgotten.
Who knows what situation will occur when they meet later.
Nevertheless, she isnât the kind to suffer easily.
If the other party really tries to provoke her, sheâll retaliate.
She came to participate in the competition, not to be bullied.
Pheng Fei shook his head, "No."
"Arthur, are you sure youâre not inciting hatred against me?" Chiang Xiao raised her eyebrows.
They were already envious, and with preferential treatment, surely theyâd be driven to jealousy.
Pheng Fei chuckled and said, "Theyâve mostly met or know each other, but youâre the completely new face here. Thereâs still an hour until dining time, and if you donât have a resting room, youâd have to stay in the guest room for an hour. Do you really want that?"
Chiang Xiao shook her head immediately.
"Then better make them envious."
"Haha," Pheng Fei said. "Besides, even if I didnât arrange it for you, theyâd still cause trouble. So better to let you be comfortable first."
