Chapter 279: 273: The Pinnacle of Squandering Part 2

Putting it bluntly, Finn Lewis’s Moon of West Lake must be a place that can attract people! But Sarah Wood just couldn’t figure out how Finn Lewis could possibly attract these people! Even more bluntly put, what kind of grandeur have these people not seen? What haven’t they come across before?

Please support I just returned home! Scrambling to update. Another classmate got married, and Windbreak is still single- Ah, among my friends, there aren’t many who are not married.

Sarah Wood wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t. Even though

Kay Lee was nervous now, she was a little excited on the inside. At this point, Sarah Wood of course wouldn’t want to let Finn Lewis down because that would mean letting Kay Lee down too.

The evening banquet wasn’t exactly formal, but it wasn’t casual either, so Kay Lee put on a dress. It was a rather conservative one. At least that’s how Sarah Wood saw it. Finn Lewis picked it out. The several outfits she helped select, which looked great, were all dismissed by Finn Lewis because they revealed too much skin.

Kay Lee just complied obediently. Seeing Kay Lee like this, Sarah Wood was speechless. She was so obedient now, how could she be brought under control in the future? “Shall we leave now?” When Kay Lee finished getting ready, it was just after 5 in the afternoon. Finn Lewis nodded and said, “Let’s head over now. I’m inviting all my classmates from our class today. And treating them to dinner.”

“Alright.” Kay Lee nodded her head without refusal.

Sarah Wood naturally had no opinion. It was better to leave now. Anyways, the guests of honor hadn’t arrived yet. The main invitees would be arriving at 8 in the evening, and naturally, no one would arrive during this timeframe.

When they left Kay Lee’s house and arrived at Moon of West Lake, it was only about 6 in the afternoon. However, by this time, most of Finn Lewis’s classmates had arrived. “This is the result of your renovation?” Since the entire building was purchased, the parking lot was the underground garage. The original above-ground parking lot in front of Moon of West Lake was modified into something resembling a garden.

The area was not large, the newly planted trees were just growing, the external protection had not yet been removed, so it all looked a bit off. The exterior of Moon of West Lake was completely enveloped in wood, not a single hint of steel or concrete was visible, it was just like a Qing Dynasty building.

“How is it? Not bad, right?” Finn Lewis asked with a smile. This renovation was not cheap, though it looks simple.

“Eh, if it’s only like this, you won’t attract many people.” Sarah Wood said, laughingly.

“Don’t worry, let’s go in and have a look.” Finn Lewis laughed, and Hannah Lincoln came to greet us. Seeing Finn Lewis, Hannah Lincoln promptly and respectfully said, “Young Master, your classmates have arrived. They are currently touring the second and third floors.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.” Finn Lewis nodded. There were two Tlooos dressed in black suits standing at the door, who appeared as nothing special. However, when Sarah Wood passed by, she did give the two bodyguards a glance. After entering the house, Sarah Wood asked curiously, “Where did you hire these bodyguards from?”

“Why?” Finn Lewis turned his head and looked at Sarah Wood questioningly.

“They are all masters.” Sarah Wood shook her head.

“You can tell?” Finn Lewis looked at Sarah Wood with some curiosity. Kay Lee, who was holding onto Finn Lewis’s arm, covered her mouth and laughed softly, “You didn’t know? Sarah is a military second-generation. Her father is the head of one of the most mysterious special warfare brigades in the country.”

It suddenly dawned on Finn Lewis. No wonder Sarah Wood gave off a sense of valor. Although her dress and appearance were no different from a typical city white-collar worker, her temperament was quite different from those white-collar workers.

Sarah Wood gave a helpless shake of her head, then looked around. As compared to the exterior, the interior’s feel was much worse. There were a dozen tables being placed in the hall on the first floor. These tables were the kind of large square tables from the Qing Dynasty that can sit seven or eight people at most. They were spaciously arranged with a distance in between. Among these tables, there were many pieces of ceramics and other decorations embellishing the area. Some paintings and calligraphy were hanged on the wooden partition wall.

“The interior decoration here is not bad; it’s rather elegant. It’s much better than your previous one.” After taking a good look around, Sarah Wood nodded her head and said that though these tables looked quite old, there wasn’t a sign of modernity. This style can attract many rich people to patronize. It’s the ambiance they want.

“Take a closer look.” Finn Lewis said with a smile.

“Closer look? Look at what?” Sarah Wood asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Hannah, explain to her. Let her know why my store charges such high prices.” Finn Lewis said with a laugh.

“Miss Wood, it’s like this. Actually, only the walls, floor, etc. were made by a modern decoration company in an ancient style. But these tables and chairs are not.” Hannah Lincoln started to explain immediately with a smile.

“Not?” Sarah Wood was surprised. She thought of something and quickly walked a few steps to the nearest table, directly touched it with her hand, and then bent down to examine it carefully. After about ten or so minutes, Sarah Wood lifted her head with an incredulous expression and asked, “This… This is not made of Huanghuali wood, is it?”

“Correct. I didn’t expect you to recognize it.” Finn Lewis gave Sarah Wood a thumbs-up and laughed.

“All of these are?” Sarah Wood turned around and looked at a dozen tables placed in the hall on the first floor, asking with a stupefied look.

“Yes, all of them. And these are not made by modern furniture makers. All of these furnishings are passed down from the great families before the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty. All are complete sets. All the tables on the first floor are made of Huanghuali wood. The tables in the private rooms on the second floor are all made of Zitan wood, and those in a few large private rooms on the third floor are basically the same.” Finn Lewis nodded his head, smiling brightly.

Sarah Wood, out of reflex, turned back to look around the entire hall. She knew how expensive Huanghuali wood was. She didn’t need to mention the upper floors, just the tables on the first floor. Coupled with their cultural relic value, each one should be worth at least a hundred million.. Now all these ancient artifacts are displayed here as dining tables?
