The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2941

Meanwhile, Sophie had already left Shangri-La, and she had arrived at the old mansion that her mother had bought at the auction.

Helen had already contacted a local renovation company, and she was already planning to renovate the old mansion. She was also looking forward to moving into the old mansion as soon as possible after the renovation had been completed. Thus, she had been extremely concerned over this matter.

When Sophie arrived at the entrance of the old mansion, Helen was in the courtyard, and she was in high spirits as she talked to the designer about her renovation plans. 3

Sophie was overjoyed when she saw the happy look on her mother's face through the fence gate.

She knew that her mother was indeed going to live for herself from now on. 5

It was not just her mother.

Sophie felt that she was also going to live for herself from now on. She would no longer be restrained by the Schulz family, and she would strive to live the way she wanted to. 4 Helen was explaining the direction of the design that

she wanted to her designer when she suddenly caught a glimpse of her daughter, who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard. She was extremely surprised, and she hurriedly waved at Sophie as she said, "Sophie, hurry up and come here!" 1

Sophie smiled as she pushed the door open and entered before she asked Helen, "Mom, have you thought about how you are going to go about the renovation?"

Helen nodded and pointed at the young female designer beside her. She was extremely happy as she said, "I'm already almost done discussing with Whitney. Although my renovation ideas are mainly nostalgic, I also hope that it would have a hint of the modern era."

Sophie smiled as she said, "In that case, you can just use some modern materials and processes to carry out the renovation works according to the style from twenty years ago. The current materials and processes have been greatly improved as a whole, and this can also ensure the quality, environmental protection, and comfort." 5

The female designer who was aside also nodded repeatedly and said, "You're right. Our general idea now is also to use modern materials and processes to do the nostalgic retro style. After that, we will try to make this old mansion more comfortable and liveable." 1

As she spoke, the female designer continued, "By the way, Aunt Dunn, we will still have to wait for our boss to come up with a set of detailed design drawings on the specific design plan for your mansion. This is especially so for some of the functional parts. Our boss will have to replace a way to do a good job of concealing it. If you want this kind of retro style, the heater, central air-conditioning, central ventilation system, and the wireless network would have to be concealed as much as possible. Otherwise, it would appear to be very abrupt." 4

Helen smiled and said, "Your boss had given me a brief explanation the other day. He said that the current wooden beams can be replaced with metal structures before spraying them to look like wood. This way, it would not took any different from the wooden beams. Moreover, the middle of the metal structures can also be used to get out of the air ducts. After that, the color of the outlet for the air ducts can be made to be exactly the same as the beams. As for the central ventilation system, we could use the ground air

supply, and the air outlet can be hidden in the skirting board. I think that this is a pretty decent plan. Please help me talk to your boss and ask him to help me refine a specific plan. It would be best if I could get a design sketch." 7

The female designer did not hesitate as she said," Okay, Aunt Dunn. I'll talk to our boss when I get back. At that time, we will try to make all these works concealed."

As she spoke, she asked again, "Aunt Dunn, are you sure that you do not want to harden the ground in the courtyard? It would be hard to take care of this kind of muddy ground when it rains."

Helen waved her hand. "I do not want to do any hardening aside from the road in and out of this place. When spring arrives, I will sprinkle some seeds, and it will certainly be very beautiful when the lawn grows." 1

As she spoke, Helen then spoke up and said, "Whitney, you're a native of Aurous Hill, right?" 1

The other party nodded and said, "Yes, Aunt Dunn. My house is just a few kilometers away from here."

Helen pointed at the boston ivies that had already withered on the wall of the house and the courtyard fence as she asked, "Do you think that these boston ivies can still grow in spring? This mansion has been idle for such a long time, so I really do not know whether these boston ivies are dead or alive." 2

The female designer smiled and

said, "Aunt Dunn, these boston ivies

e.ne

are filled with vitality in the South Region. Although it looks like a dead and withered plant when the weather is cold, new buds will grow out in spring. The entire front of wall will be covered in it by midsummer! It is extremely beautiful for green boston ivies like this to be paired off with this kind of old red brick houses!" 3
