CHAPTER 1118: CHAPTER 1117: RAIN

The outside of the Eastern Castle looks very retro, and it’s about the same inside. The decoration isn’t considered luxurious, after all, Count Charley lives in the big castle over there, and this place is just renovated regularly.

However, once inside, there’s heating, which is very comfortable.

Housekeeper Eugene had already arranged for the middle-aged couple to prepare a lavish dinner, which is hot pot.

"Do you eat hot pot?"

"Yes, I love eating hot pot."

Wang Leshan said.

"Me too."

Most girls like eating hot pot, especially in winter.

When they arrived at the dining room, as Ye Qiu, Wang Leshan, Louise, and Zhou Wenting sat down, the middle-aged couple brought over the prepared soup base and the sauces they mixed.

The maid stood to the side, and Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling felt a bit strange and uncomfortable.

However, they already knew these people were servants.

There are nearly twenty servants here besides Housekeeper Eugene, and just their salaries alone must cost a fortune.

"You can eat now."

Ye Qiu said.

The soup base was already boiling hot.

Looking at the maid standing to the side, Ye Qiu said, "You can go eat, no need to wait on us here."

The French lady then left to dine in another small dining room, where the other servants were.

On the surface, the class consciousness in Europe may not seem as deep as in Huaxia, but in reality, the class consciousness exhibited in everyday life in Europe is much deeper than in Huaxia.

So, that maid just now, if Ye Qiu hadn’t asked her to leave, she would have stayed by the side, possibly helping as needed.

However, back home, nannies often dine with the family, and some families even try to please the nannies for the sake of their children.

In this aspect, there really are differences in how servants are treated domestically and abroad.

The hot pot here includes fresh local chicken, duck, fat goose, mutton, beef, and other items like tripe, along with a variety of fresh vegetables, making it resemble the hot pot back home.

If it weren’t for being in this castle’s dining room, Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling wouldn’t have been able to tell.

After they finished the hot pot, it was already past seven in the evening.

Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling were quite full and thought they could only have authentic hot pot in Chinatown, but unexpectedly, they could get it here too.

Now that they were full, Ye Qiu intended to have someone take the two women to the train station so they could take a train back themselves.

Unexpectedly, it started to rain heavily outside.

When he was earlier by the seaside, Ye Qiu sensed that it was going to rain heavily.

No one expected the rain to be this heavy.

"It’s raining so hard, what should we do?"

Wang Xiaoling asked.

"Why worry when we have a car?"

Ye Qiu said.

The train station in the small town isn’t far, about half an hour away, and they can buy tickets and board the train directly once they get there.

Wang Leshan wanted to stay, but she hadn’t brought any clothes, not even her undergarments, and she needed to shower.

So, she needed to return to her hotel in Paris first to get her things.

Ye Qiu had Housekeeper Eugene drive over and spoke to him in French, asking him to take the two women to the small town’s train station and buy their tickets.

Being in a foreign land, with acquaintances involved, Ye Qiu didn’t want anything to happen to the two women.

Otherwise, he’d also hold responsibility, since he brought them over.

Zhou Wenting originally wanted the two women to stay, but seeing Ye Qiu and them becoming more familiar, she didn’t say much.

Women can be generous, but in matters of love, they’re quite selfish and naturally wouldn’t want to share their love with others.

"Young Master Ye, understood."

Housekeeper Eugene said.

"Once you get back to Paris, give me a call!"

Ye Qiu said to Wang Leshan.

"But I don’t have your phone number yet?"

Wang Leshan quickly said.

Ye Qiu asked her to take out her phone and directly entered his number, then called his phone, so Wang Leshan’s phone had Ye Qiu’s number stored.

As Housekeeper Eugene drove the Bentley Mulsanne over, Wang Leshan and Wang Xiaoling got into the car, and upon doing so, they found it to be extremely luxurious.

They were really surprised that even Ye Qiu’s housekeeper drove such an extravagant car.

As Housekeeper Eugene drove towards the small town’s train station, Ye Qiu went upstairs with Zhou Wenting and Louise.

With the rain outside, besides reading or going online, there didn’t seem to be many activities here. Of course, the servants downstairs could watch TV or rest.

When Ye Qiu entered his room, he found it odd that every time he came to France, it seemed to rain more often.

...

When Count Charley returned to his large castle, Housekeeper Ivan immediately approached him.

"Housekeeper, what’s the matter?"

"Dr. Ye has come to France."

"He’s here with us?"

Count Charley seemed very excited; he grew more curious about this young man.

"He’s not here; he should be at the Eastern Castle, but he sent a gift over, which arrived last night."

"What gift?"

"It’s the wine he’s had made, and he specifically sent five boxes to you. Viscountess Louise even called in the afternoon, asking if you’ve tried it."

"That wine? I thought it was some other gift."

Upon hearing it was the wine from over there, Count Charley’s interest waned immediately.

After all, he had drunk quite a lot of this homemade wine, but he wasn’t fond of it.

"Count Charley, I heard from Viscountess Louise that the wine is better than the most top-notch Lafite. I’m not sure if it’s true?"

"How is that possible?"

Count Charley couldn’t believe it.

But he knew that Louise had no reason to lie.

If it’s true, then it’s quite intriguing.

"For dinner, bring me a bottle to try."

"Yes, Count Charley."

As Count Charley went upstairs, a young maid helped him take a hot bath, and then after coming down, while sitting in the spacious dining room, the chef had already prepared a lavish French dinner. Housekeeper Ivan instructed someone to bring over a bottle of wine that Ye Qiu had sent.

As Count Charley sat there, looking at the bottle of wine, he noticed that the wine bottle, color, and purity looked no different from his own Count’s wine.

Could it really taste better than his Count’s wine?

When Housekeeper Ivan opened it, a rich aroma of wine filled the air, and at that moment, both Housekeeper Ivan and Count Charley sensed that this wine might indeed be different.
