At six o'clock that evening, Ning Ran brought two bottles of fine wine and went to Lu Jingyuan's house with Cheng Xiangyun.

Although Cheng Xiangyun had told her that Lu Jingyuan was wealthy, Ning Ran was still shocked when she saw the villa Lu Jingyuan had built for herself.

She's not just wealthy. She's ultra rich!

The villa was not enormous, but the three-story building was luxurious.

Its fence wall and exterior were painted light blue with a cool undertone, giving the place a particular character.

Once they entered the courtyard, they saw a pathway paved with colorful natural pebbles.

On both sides of the path were blooming flowers.

Most of the places were still cold during early spring, but over at Livingsfill, the temperature did not go through drastic changes throughout the year. There was no extreme cold, and flowers bloomed all year round.

However, despite the geographical advantage, most plants had their own flowering period.

Although some flowers were out of season then in Livingsfill, Lu Jingyuan's garden was still filled with flowers of all kinds.

This went to show that Lu Jingyuan was a flower connoisseur. Not only could she collect all the different types of flowers, but she could also make them blossom at that time of the year.

This was enough to attest to her refinement and knowledge—two invaluable traits unable to be bought with money.

The nouveau riche could well build huge mansions with their money, but cultivating good taste and an informed mind would take time. One would need to read a lot and see the world.

This realization only made Ning Ran more vigilant.

I'd better not underestimate this woman. She stays in a border town with two children but has the ability to run a big inn and stay in a villa. This is impossible unless she has a strong background. Could it be that she's Nan Chen's secret lover? He can definitely do that, though. He has the ability to keep more than one lover, actually. In fact, I won't be surprised if he has a hundred women outside.

While Ning Ran was thinking, Lu Jingyuan came out to welcome them, holding her two girls.

Woah! She's pretty. It only took Ning Ran one glance to agree with Cheng Xiangyun.

Ning Ran was a beautiful woman herself, so she had her standards, but even then, she still considered Lu Jingyuan a rare beauty.
