Chapter: 2937
After hanging up the phone, Su Chengfeng felt a bit relieved, but his face still showed his frustration. He had been polite about the islands in the Maldives, but he never expected Su Zhiyu to take everything so quickly. The thought of transferring the island to her hurt him deeply. He had planned this island as a place to enjoy his retirement, and it meant a lot to him—almost like the heavy coffin that ancient people prepared for themselves.
In the past, people valued their coffins as they believed they would spend eternity in them, making them more important than life itself. Nowadays, people don’t think about this as much, but they still care about their old-age plans. Everyone wants a comfortable place to live when they get older, which is why many rush to buy properties in the south for their future.
For Su Chengfeng, he had worked hard to develop the island, dreaming of a luxurious retirement there. But now, he found himself having to hand it over to Su Zhiyu before he was ready to retire. Although this made him sad, he felt a bit better knowing that Su Zhiyu might help smooth things over and keep him safe.
On the other hand, Su Zhiyu was not thrilled about getting the island. Her goal was simply to hurt Su Chengfeng. She had no interest in enjoying the island for herself. She also knew that her mother wouldn’t want to go there. Her mother didn’t care for luxury, and right now, her biggest wish was not to relax at a holiday resort, but to find something more meaningful.
Charlie Wade wanted to quickly renovate the old house where Ye Changying used to live, so he could stay in the small courtyard and reflect on things and people.
He spoke to Su Zhiyu and said, “Mr. Ye, my grandfather put a lot of effort into building that island in the Maldives. The place is beautiful, but my mother and I aren’t really interested in it. If you want, I can give it to you.”
Charlie waved his hand and smiled, “If you’re not interested, then I’m not either. It doesn’t really matter to me where I live.”
Su Zhiyu insisted, “If you have time, you should take your wife and family there to relax. Otherwise, the island will just sit empty.”
Charlie smiled again, “I appreciate the thought. Whether I go or not can wait for later.”
Su Zhiyu nodded and said, “I’ll head to the Maldives tomorrow to transfer ownership, and then we can set up the joint venture company.”
“Sounds good,” Charlie replied. “We’re not in a rush over the next couple of days. There’s still a lot to prepare. I’ll have my team reach out to you so we can work together on this.”
“Okay!” Su Zhiyu said eagerly. “I’ll follow your plans.”
After their discussion, Charlie asked Ito Emi to show Su Zhiyu out of Buckingham Palace. He then went to his office with Chen Zekai.
At this time, Chen Zekai answered a phone call, then approached Charlie and said, “Master, Miss Gu’s team has sent a confirmation letter. They’ve booked 85 rooms in Buckingham Palace for over 150 people, and they’ll be checking in tomorrow.”
Charlie was curious and asked, “What’s the plan for all those people?”
“Is the girl coming to Jinling?”
“Yes,” Chen Zekai replied. “Ms. Gu’s concert is in three days. Her team will arrive at the venue tomorrow, rehearse the day after that, and perform the following day.”
Charlie Wade nodded with a smile. “After searching high and low, I finally get to see her. But why hasn’t she reached out to me?”
