Chapter 205 face to face
The music in the hall continued to echo, and everyone was not affected by the departure of a girl. Those who should dance continued to dance, those who should chat continued to chat, and those who should drink continued to drink. The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely harmonious. Jia Huan was entangled by Christine, and the girl had already pulled Jia Huan to dance three songs and refused to let go.
At the end of the song, Jia Huan wanted to withdraw, but Christine just held his hand and deliberately raised her high chest under the attention of others, proud and satisfied. At this moment, a man walked towards them, dejected, and knew it was Kingsley at a glance.
"What's wrong with you?" Christine said with a smile at him, "Isn't it just a woman? It's worth your heartbroken. Don't tell me, you have forgotten your Nicole because of this girl. You are such a playboy." As she said that, she wrinkled her nose disdainfully and expressed contempt.
"I think...she's Nicole." Kingsley ignored Christine and said instead to Jia Huan, "I feel that she's Nicole... Although she deliberately changed her voice, her posture and her eyes, I think all this is like a dream...it makes me incredible."
Christine said disdainfully: "You are imagining, man, think about it, is that possible? First of all, Nicole was not invited at all, and then... do you think that the nest of rats will take her to the banquet with you? Don't think about it, save money, look at her luxury car, many people's cars here are not as good as those of the rat, let alone the mouse's house. Even if there is, it is impossible to let Nicole show off here."
"And the polite driver, the luxurious dress, and the jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of dollars... Look at the necklace, I was very jealous when I saw it. I have seen many good products, but that necklace... is simply the most beautiful in the world, and it is such a big gem." There were stars in Christine's eyes, and she was really envious and jealous.
It's the same reason. The Nicole Kingsley saw was definitely a character who was bullied by his stepmother. When would there be such a luxurious car, a beautiful evening dress, a priceless necklace, and even the crystal shoes in his hand look very delicate and beautiful, and it looks expensive.
"Okay, I admit what you said makes sense." Kingsley sighed and shook his head, then walked back sadly, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, looked at Jia Huan, raised the shoe in his hand and said, "In a story recorded by our Green family, a crystal shoe helped a prince find his beloved Cinderella. I believe... this shoe has a deep meaning to fall here, maybe it is a test for our family."
He suddenly became happy, raised the shoe, as if he had raised all his hopes, and put it on his lips and kissed it. Then he walked into the hall lightly, waved his hand while walking. Yes, he used another different angle to make himself happier.
Kingsley was even thinking that the girl who threw away his shoes was Nicole. So he was in a very light mood and had to think of a way to let Nicole try the shoe on the boat. He even had the idea of telling his father that the story of the Green family began to be staged today. However, he still thought about it and could not talk to his father about Nicole.
"Are he very stupid? Or is he already obsessed with the girl who has only seen several times?" Christine looked at Jia Huan in confusion and said, "Love can really make people stupid."
Jia Huan was too lazy to pay attention to her pretended emotion, so she went back to the hall and said to Christine who was holding his arm unyieldingly: "It's time for me to say goodbye, to be honest, I regret coming here a little today. It's so boring to be with these rich and powerful people."
"Ahhh--as I thought!" Christine laughed, then hugged his arm with both hands, "Think about it, man, I am a teenage girl, but I want to talk to these old men and women. I'm almost suffocated after thinking about it. I'd rather hide in a tree."
"Okay, monkey, stop pestering me, I should say goodbye to my master!" Jia Huan said as he walked upstairs, "Unless you want to talk to your uncle, otherwise..."
Christine curled her lips, then snorted, and then let go. She looked at Jia Huan and went to the corridor upstairs. Through the corridor, Jia Huan stopped at the door of a house, where there was a man guarding it, a bodyguard who looked like a very strong bodyguard. He looked at Jia Huan vigilantly, with one hand on his back.
"I want to talk to Mr. Green. I know he is inside, and he is alone." Jia Huan said to the bodyguard, "Unless you want to have a conflict with me and then disturb him. And... I am still his distinguished guest today."
The bodyguard shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, sir, you can't take a step forward. Mr. Green has said, no matter who it is, don't bother him, even the governor. Why not retreat? This will be good to you and me! OK?" He insisted on putting one hand on his back.
Jia Huan shrugged, then spread his hands and turned away. The bodyguard did not relax and watched Jia Huan disappear at the end of the corridor. Then he stood up seriously, and then stared at the entrance of the corridor with his eyes fixed on the entrance.
Mr. Green stood facing the window, and saw the view in the manor through the window, and he was silent. Today, Nicole Conton's arrival made him fall into deep thought.
There are many things in the Green family that are relatively secret. Only the heirs of the family and the main male members can know these secret things. In other words, only those qualified to participate in the family's discussions can know those things that are not declared. And this Nicole Conton's father's affairs are one of them.
Before that, he received four rats and daughters mentioned by Nicole. The largest female rat raised their own opinion, that is, to let the heir of the Green family marry her eldest daughter Linda Conton. This condition made Mr. Green disdain at first, but in the end... Caroline Conton said her suggestions bluntly.
"Do you still remember what happened to my ancestors?" Caroline said to Mr. Green with a sneer. "My ancestors sacrificed so much for the Green family, and even paid for their own lives, but they only received a so-called protection. What is this protection? It's just that your Green family won't kill us."
Mr. Green could only be speechless. Because the big female mouse was talking about the facts. He had no way to refute it. So he heard the female mouse continue to fire at him: "I know what idea you might be making, maybe killing me, or our family. But... do you think this might cover up the truth? No, no, this can only expose the truth to the world faster, and make everyone laugh at the Green family's character."
Mr. Green's face looked very ugly. He stared at Caroline, but he didn't say a word. But the atmosphere became very serious. This powerful pressure made Caroline and his daughter pale, and she knew that she might have angered Mr. Green.
"I'm sorry, you... I'm sorry, we just have such a suggestion. If you think it's not good, you can ignore it!" Caroline's face became very fast, reflecting the nature of a mouse. She was very alert and cunning. When she saw that the momentum was wrong, she immediately changed her tone and put her position very low.
"You go!" Mr. Green waved his hand and sighed, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. The faces of the mother and daughter were slightly relieved. "The promises of the Green family to you are always valid."
Although the mother and daughter left, this matter and Nicole's incident made Mr. Green silent. He felt that the Green family had developed into such a huge family as today, and it was impossible for them to do everything very well. While bringing huge influence, they also put themselves in the storm. If you are not careful, the Green family will be doomed. The higher the status, the greater the risk.
He was alone in the room thinking about solutions, and even did not allow anyone to come in and disturb him. Since the mouse family dared to say this, they would definitely be ready. The mouse has always been very cunning and would not rashly propose such things without exchange of interests. That was the case at the beginning.
The lights in the room were a little dim. He didn't like to think about problems under the bright lights, which was not conducive to his concentration. The surroundings were very quiet, but he still heard a sigh. The sound was abrupt, which shocked him. His sensitivity was many times stronger than that of ordinary people, but he didn't notice that there were still people in the room.
Huo Ran turned around and saw a man sitting on his desk, turning his chair and looking at him. His face did not move, and he stared at Jia Huan: "You can deceive my security personnel into entering the room, so that I can't let me know that I should respect you just for this matter. Mr. Jia."
Jia Huan didn't stand up, but just looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm not surprised that you can call out my name at all. The Green family has been investigating me for many days. I believe I know even a few pairs of underwear I bought in the town, even the color and model! This is very amazing." As he said that, he deliberately patted his palms gently.
"Can I think this is irony?" Mr. Green tried to make his smile relaxed.
"No, I am really happy for the efficiency of your work." Jia Huan stood up this time and stood face to face with Mr. Green. "You can invite me to participate in this banquet. Isn't it just that you want to have a face to face conversation with me? But I don't know why you haven't met me for a long time, so I can only come by myself."
"This is my rudeness, I do want to..."
"Then... let's talk!" Jia Huan said straight to the point, "Do you know Lauber Dubov?"
