Chapter 1894: The Aristocratic Heritage of the Shilaike Family

The Shilaike Family possesses hundreds of years of aristocratic heritage, and their conduct is permeated with an aristocratic aura.

Everyone who walked past would bow slightly to Chen Yu and greet him in Chinese: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Yu had only just arrived here, yet everyone, whether bodyguard or servant, knew of Chen Yu's existence; their efficiency was truly first-class.

What Chen Yu found particularly curious was that they actually understood Chinese.

When yet another bodyguard greeted Chen Yu, Chen Yu could not help but ask: "Does everyone here understand Chinese?"

Unexpectedly, the bodyguard was stunned for a moment, then immediately said in English: "Sir, I do not know what you are saying."

"Damn, learned it on the spot?" Chen Yu was caught between laughter and tears, using his consciousness to communicate with the other party: "I said, does everyone here understand Chinese?"

"Not at all," the bodyguard replied hurriedly: "We only know one sentence; it was learned on the spot, and that 'Mr. Chen, hello' was learned specifically for you."

"Oh, alright, I understand." Chen Yu nodded; as expected of a great Western family, their way of doing things is truly watertight.

The Shilaike Family is very large, and in the innermost part, there is an extremely large winery, with thousands of acres of grapevines outside the winery.

Every year during the grape harvest season, the Shilaike winery picks the grapes, transports them into the winery, and ferments them into red wine.

The wine here tastes quite good, and just as Chen Yu was about to go in to have a taste, he was stopped by Moli: "Mr. Chen, let me take you inside to have a glass of wine."

"Why did you come too?" Chen Yu asked.

"My duty is to follow you without leaving your side, so when I discovered you had gone out, I followed your trail here; if I did not follow you, that would be a dereliction of my duty," Moli smiled.

"Actually, there is no need for this; I give you free space and time," Chen Yu was somewhat amused.

"No, these are things I must do; if I do not do them well, I will be punished, and if it is serious, I will be fired directly," Moli smiled: "You wouldn't want me to be dismissed on my first day of work, would you?"

"Alright then, it just so happens I am not familiar with this place; you can take me around to see. I didn't expect there to be such a large winery inside the Shilaike Family," Chen Yu said.

"Very well, Mr. Chen, please." Moli made a gesture of invitation, and Chen Yu walked forward.

She followed behind, introducing things to Chen Yu: "The winemaking history of the Shilaike Family is actually on par with several of the world's most famous wineries."

"But the wine of their family is exclusively for the internal use of the Shilaike Family and basically does not circulate on the market, so everyone is completely unaware of the existence of the Shilaike winery in this world."

"The winemaking craft under their name is extremely complex; compared to ordinary wineries, it has over a dozen more processes, so the taste is even better."

"For example, this wine is an aged vintage from inside the winery, sealed here as early as the end of the last century," Moli pointed to a wine barrel to the side: "It has now been aged for decades, and the taste will be even more superior."

As they spoke, someone walked over, opened one of the barrels of wine, and then drew some wine to present before Chen Yu.

"I don't know much about wine; won't this barrel of wine evaporate once opened? What a pity," Chen Yu smiled, took the wine, and handed a glass to Moli.

"It does not matter; the wine will soon be bottled and sealed, which will not affect its taste. Mr. Chen is an honored guest, and we must satisfy all of Mr. Chen's requests," Moli said.

She raised her glass, signaled a slight salute to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu also raised his glass, clinked it with hers, and then drank it in one gulp.

The taste was indeed quite good; Chen Yu felt this glass of wine was not much different compared to the world's famous wines.

It is just that the aristocracy has the pride of the aristocracy; they created such a large winery not to make money, but to exclusively supply the people of the family, which is more or less somewhat extravagant.

"How does Mr. Chen find this wine?" Moli smiled slightly.

"The taste is quite good; I don't know much about red wine, but in terms of brewing and taste, it is definitely top-tier," Chen Yu nodded slightly and put down the wine glass.

"In fact, the winemaking craft of the Shilaike Family is not much different from several of the world's major wineries," Moli said leisurely: "If their wine were to circulate on the market, it would at least be on par with the three most famous wineries."

"You know a lot about wine?" Chen Yu glanced at Moli.

"To be able to enter the Shilaike Family to work as a housekeeper, there is still much I need to know," Moli smiled slightly: "What I know is not just wine."

"What a pity, such a knowledgeable person," Chen Yu shook his head; regarding Moli's knowledge, he felt it was quite good.

But she was the type of person who would disregard her own body for the sake of profit, which made Chen Yu feel somewhat regretful.

A truly successful woman should not be like this.

"Does Mr. Chen feel that because I can sell even my soul for profit, I have wasted all this knowledge of mine?" Moli asked.

"Something like that, but since it is the path you chose, and you are exchanging it for profit based on your own efforts, I have no right to say anything."

Chen Yu shook his head: "So do not misunderstand; I do not mean to stand on a moral high ground to criticize you, nor do I have the qualifications."

"Mr. Chen is somewhat different from the others," Moli looked at Chen Yu with some surprise: "At least you don't seem like those sanctimonious, pedantic people; apart from standing on a moral high ground to criticize others, they are good for nothing."

"Haha, I am still different from those people," Chen Yu laughed: "Let's go, let's go see other places; I also want to learn about some of the history of the Shilaike Family."

"This way, please." Moli smiled, put down the wine glass in her hand, and led Chen Yu toward the other side.

However, a beautiful woman blocked their path.

Although this woman was getting on in years, her entire being revealed a trace of an aristocratic aura.

She wore white aristocratic attire, and every gesture she made displayed nobility.

And she was none other than Roy's stepmother, that is, Ximeng, who was the result of a marriage alliance between the Roy Family and the Shilaike Family.

"Madam." Moli was slightly startled; she hurriedly bowed her body, and before this madam spoke, she could not lift her head.

"You are the new housekeeper?" Ximeng glanced at Moli, not showing much interest.

"Yes, Madam, I am responsible for the daily life of Mr. Chen, the honored guest of Young Master Roy," Moli replied.

"Oh, you may go; I have some words to chat about with this Mr. Chen," Ximeng nodded slightly, and she lifted her head to gaze at Chen Yu.

"Yes, Madam." Moli nodded and then left this place.

"Hello, I am Roy, Ximeng," Ximeng smiled slightly at Chen Yu: "My maternal family is the Roy Family, which has hundreds of years of history."
