Chapter 184 Night in Lexington(1/2)
"Miss Beth, I hope you will consider our agreement just now," Jane hung up the phone and said to her.
Edward could see that although Jane was angry, she did not break out, but instead persuaded her patiently.
The reason is also very simple.
The phone call just now was called to Beth who opened a bank account, and the other party told her that Beth Harmon's account currently does not have such a deposit balance.
In other words, this is a blank check.
Beth Harmon had forgotten in excitement, the 110,000 dollars she had just thrown out.
"Join, your attitude was very inappropriate. Come on, apologize to Miss Beth and ask for her forgiveness!"
Jane saw Beth Harmon not speaking, her eyes rolled and pointed her finger at her partner and sister!
The proud girl could no longer sit still.
She jumped up from the sofa as if it was a stove. "No, no"
"Jiang, apologize! I'll say it again! You should know that my patience is limited!" Jian sternly said
"But, Jane!" Qiong tried hard to argue.
"No, no, Joan, we swear to give everything to the Lord. After that, everything is a test given to us by the Lord. If you do it right, it is the Lord who responds to our piety. But more often, we walk in the world to experience more tests, so that we can always reflect on ourselves and make our hearts purer. So you must apologize."
"Okay." Seeing that Qiong seemed to be dissatisfied.
Jane bent down slightly and bowed to Beth Harmon: "Sorry, Miss Beth, please forgive us for the mistreatment we just now! Joan is my partner and my best friend. We have lived together since we were seven years old. We have no blood relationship, but we regard each other as the closest people in the world. I hope you can forgive me!"
Beth Harmon was stunned!
She is proud, she does not take worldly rules seriously.
But it doesn't mean she is an arrogant maniac, a person who completely ignores the world's eyes that only she is.
On the contrary, the life in the orphanage made her more sensitive than most people in this world, and better at seeing the hearts of others... Similarly, she is also kinder...
Blanking her eyes to the world is nothing more than a way for her to protect herself.
Until a minute ago, this self-protection method was extremely productive.
Her extremely high intelligence, a mountain of trophys, and a lofty expression made her avoid most of the invasions in this world. Of course, the outermost protective shell was supported by Elma for her.
But now, in front of this old woman who regarded herself as extremely lowly, the protective shell she was proud of was instantly smashed.
Jane still bent over.
Joan sighed and bent down, "Miss Beth, please forgive me for my misogyny just now."
"Yes, forgive us and reconsider our proposal. Please believe that we have no malice, we have no malice towards you, the United States, and even to Russia and the Russians. God teaches us to love the world."
"God did not hesitate to let Jesus be crucified for the sake of the world, so what are the small setbacks we suffer?" Jane continued.
"I, I..." Beth Harmon became flustered in a rare situation.
"Please sign it," Joan also whispered, "We are all children of God. He loves us, and we love Him, and we will eventually return to His arms..."
Beth Harmon has never encountered such a scene.
she
At a loss.
Edward sighed and said to himself, you girl, are you too young.
Of course, the two old ladies are indeed worthy of admiration. In order to give money, or to complete the tasks assigned by the Lord, they bowed and admitted their mistakes without doing anything wrong.
The general's routine is really suitable for a girl like Beth Harmon, who is not necessarily mature in her mental age.
But who is Edward? Time Traveler. His biggest hobby in his previous life was to study cults. No, the black history of studying religion...
This made him have no good impression of any religion, and he also had a clear understanding of various routines and dismantling methods.
And he also has faith, they believe in Him, and Edward is the believer of the Nun!
From the perspective of priesthood, the main responsibility is to bless believers with longevity and success in their studies and careers, and their children are excellent and successful in their love, which can cover almost all the requests of the world.
But don't forget that Zi is also an atheist. Under the illumination of Zi's proletarian glory, all religions are paper tigers!
Thinking of the kind smile behind the black-framed glasses, Edward was full of fighting spirit!
After traveling through time, although I don’t remember any major incidents, I know all kinds of "released moves".
He pulled his waist high and began to enter the role.
Seeing that Beth Harmon was about to be unable to hold on.
He acted quietly.
Look around and look for props.
Fortunately, this old habit has been retained in 1969, such as the sofa armrests covered with white sofa towels.
Seeing that the three of them were not paying attention to him, Edward quietly picked up one piece.
Three tricks and two tricks.
“Xx is the greatest!”
He yelled.
It scared the two old ladies to death!
When they looked up, they saw Edward wrapped his head in white cloth, his eyes wide open, and he looked at them fiercely!
"I, Edward Yang, is a Jewish and Chinese mixed race. I believe in x-sect. Now you rely on the dominant position of Christianity in this country and openly ignore my religious feelings to coerce my client. I want to sue! I want to expose to the civil rights organization! You openly preach before me, but you slaughtered countless my brothers and sisters through such barbaric and cruel behaviors as your ancestors had slaughtered countless my brothers and sisters through such barbaric and cruel behaviors as the Crusades! xx is the greatest!"
"No, no, this is a misunderstanding!" Jian said quickly.
"Your ancestors killed many of my ancestors in the name of the Crusades. Now they have to use this despicable way to force my client. You have blasphemed the voluntary principle of religion. Tell me, where is the registered place of your church headquarters? I will go to the local court to file a lawsuit with you! If they shelter you, I will go to Washington to file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court. I will fight this lawsuit to the end. Brothers and sisters in the Middle East will support me!" A crazy light flashed in my eyes! It seemed that I would be ready to wash my head in the next moment and then start the Holy War.
While talking, I kept writing in my hands.
Then a check was stuffed into Jane's hand and a business card, "Leave quickly, come to me if you lack money! Otherwise! Holy War!"
As he said that, he opened the door.
Jian and Qiong looked at the white cloth on his head and could only leave...
Beth Harmon's mouth opened...
"Okay, I'll call to order takeout, starve me to death..."
Beth Harmon shrank on the sofa and didn't speak, his feet on the cushion, his knees bent, and his head was buried deep in it. Only the golden and red hair was seen scattered.
Edward called himself and asked the fast food restaurant to send a Hawaiian pizza. He has always had a good impression of pineapple.
As for Beth Harmon, it would be nice to keep her quiet for a while.
She was too stimulating during these 24 hours, too severe.
My mother died suddenly, and I wanted a house, and the charlatan refunded the money (although it may not have been deliberately chosen to come at this time).
It would take an ordinary person to get caught for several days. She was so sad that she didn't know which immortal she had offended. She came over and ate them all, which was really heartbreaking.
Edward eliminated most of the pizza by himself, after all, he didn't eat lunch, which made him a little dizzy.
On the other hand, Beth Harmon ate a horn and said it was enough.
Edward felt very sad and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say. He sighed and ate all the remaining pizza.
After the meal, the two sat and chatted for a few more times. Beth Harmon was not as confident as he had before when facing Mr. Whitley and the two old ladies, and seemed to have been pulled away a lot of his energy.
Obviously, Elma's death hit her a big blow. When facing foreign enemies during the day, the brain will forcibly ignore her feelings of sadness, but this is like a stimulant, which can control for a moment. Once the medicine is effective, the feeling of loss and emptiness will be more intense.
Edward booked a hotel in advance. He is not the kind of guy who takes advantage of others' danger. It is one thing to like to sleep with beautiful girls, but if you start at this time, it would violate the basic principles of being a human being.
I saw that I had nothing to say when I sat down.
He said goodbye to her and reached out to open the door in the latter's mechanical response.
"Ed..." I never thought I would be hugged behind my back.
"It's okay," he patted his hand on his lower abdomen, "He...they... will not appear in front of you again in the future. You can rest assured. And the name of the senator works..."
"Thank you, if you weren't there today..." The voice behind you came faintly.
Edward could feel her tightly pressing against him and his head was leaning against his back, making people feel like a little koala.
"No, even if I'm not here today, you will handle all this perfectly. You are the smartest person on the planet. Intelligence is your best weapon, and I just help you deal with subsequent issues more cleanly from a professional perspective."
"Ed, don't leave tonight...I dare not sleep alone, I will think of Elma..."
"Uh..." This is equivalent to some kind of invitation. If you don't agree, will it still be someone else?
...
The next day, he staggered away from Lexington.
Last night, the beasts were worse than that.
Although he knew that he would make a request, the other party would most likely not refuse. Even under this emotion, Beth Harmon might take the initiative to vent his inner depression.
But how to say it, an inexplicable sense of morality has come again.
To be continued...
