Christmas is always the busiest time at Morgan Manor every year, as long as it is a member of the Morgan family, whether it is a direct or collateral family, no matter where it is, how busy it is, everyone will come to Morgan Manor from all over the world to celebrate Christmas together.

This year's Christmas is the same as in previous years, and the process is still the same. A family meeting is held to discuss the year's work, followed by a buffet to celebrate Christmas.

The Morgan family's general meeting, like all government meetings, was boring, and consisted of each reporting the benefits of the year's work and then stating the plan for the year's work.

Of course, old Morgan who has done well will praise him in person, and he will inevitably be criticized for doing badly.

But neither praise nor criticism had anything to do with John, because he didn't manage the family business, so he didn't have much work to report, and unless the elder Morgan suddenly became interested in making films, he was just a bystander with eyes and ears.

The time of the meeting is generally very short, and after the end is the family dinner, the Morgan family's dinner has always been carried out in the form of a buffet, the reason why this kind of dinner is used, is to let everyone communicate more, after all, usually the south and the north of the world, so the days of getting together are only once a year.

And John, as the host, is usually the busiest person in such a meeting, because at this time, he has to entertain everyone in place of old Morgan, so he can be seen constantly shuttling in the hall throughout the party.

"Uncle Growl, drink more ...... tonight. ”

"Sister Connie! the dress is beautiful....... ”

"Grandpa Div! your body is still ...... tough. ”

John kept going back and forth between the small groups, greeting those present, and as the party was over, he took half a glass of champagne to the balcony, and the non-stop toasting all night made his head a little dizzy, and he wanted to find a relatively quiet place to breathe.

It was snowing in New York in December at this time, and there was some cold wind in the air, blowing on his face, which made him instantly sober up a lot, just when he looked at the white snow outside the house to relax, he suddenly saw a little girl standing by the fountain in front of the door.

The little girl, dressed in a white cotton coat, stood by the fountain with her head bowed, and kept kicking the snow on the ground with her feet, looking as if she was angry.

The little girl, John, knew that Fanny Morgan, an orphan of the Morgan family, had been living with her grandparents since her parents were killed in a plane accident a few years ago.

Seeing her standing alone in the snow, John frowned slightly, then put the champagne in his hand on the table by the balcony, and went downstairs to the outside.

"Hey, why aren't you with everyone?" John asked softly, standing in front of Vanny, as he approached.

Fanny looked up at him, then lowered her head deeply and held her breath. "I don't like being around them. After saying that, he continued to kick the snow on the ground.

When John saw her aggrieved look, he already knew in his heart that Fanny, as an orphan, must have been isolated by other children inside, so he would stand alone in the snow. In fact, most orphans are insecure and sensitive to others, and when they are isolated, they often find a place to hide and add to their own wounds. This kind of inferiority complex is also a manifestation of insecurity.

"Hey, don't do that. John said as he walked over to Vanny and reached out to hold her in his arms. "It's Christmas, you have to be happy, you know?" he asked. "Did you just get a present?"

There is a very large Christmas tree in the banquet hall of the Morgan family, which is covered with gift boxes, and every child who comes to Morgan Manor can choose a gift box from it.

"I got a Transformer. Vanny was quiet. "But...... They snatched it. ”

After several friends saw her get a collector's edition of Optimus Prime from the Christmas tree, they snatched it from her hand together, and she then told her grandfather about it, but her grandfather not only didn't help her get back, but also reprimanded her, so she ran out alone with grievances.

In fact, this is normal, the friends who robbed her Optimus Prime are all members of the Morgan family, and a side member of her grandfather will naturally not have a dispute with a member of the line for a toy.

It's just that she is so young, how can she understand that there is no right or wrong in the world of adults, and there are only gains and losses.

Seeing her aggrieved look, John smiled and rubbed her head. "It turns out that you like Optimus Prime, and I will tell you quietly, in fact, I like it too. ”

"Really?" Vanney looked up at John in surprise. She didn't expect that JK, who was high up on the ground, actually liked Optimus Prime as much as she did, and shared secrets with herself, which made her suddenly feel a little proud in her heart.

"Of course it's true. John affirmed without thinking, and then said eagerly for fear that Van Ni would not believe it. "I have a collector's edition of Transformers in my room, don't believe I'll take you to see it. ”

John is also a Transformers fan, to be precise, from his childhood in the previous life, but at that time his pocket money was only five cents a day, which was naturally not enough to buy any Transformers toys, so in his childhood he always stood aside and watched other friends play, until he worked to earn money, he finally had a set of Transformers toys, which was also a childhood dream.

And he is not short of money in this life, and when Hasbro came out with toys, he bought himself a set of collector's edition of Transformers toys.

"Is that okay?"

Vanney, who was on the side, heard that John invited him to see the Transformers toy, and his heart was a little moved, but he was afraid that this would disturb John. Before coming to Morgan Manor, her grandfather repeatedly told her not to disturb old Morgan, Mrs. Morgan, and John.

"Absolutely. John didn't care what Vanny was thinking, and smiled and took her hand. "Let's go, let you see the Transformers I've treasured for years. As he spoke, he picked her up and walked towards the house.

As he passed by the gate, John quietly glared at the servant standing by the door, expressing his displeasure with him. This guy has been in Morgan Manor for many years, and he has developed a snobbish eye that knows who to stammer and who can ignore it, so he will ignore it when he sees Fanny standing alone in the snow. If it's not Christmas and there's no Fanny around, then John is ready to clean up this guy and let him know that the Morgan family is also a member of the Morgan family, and it's not something you can bully as a servant.
