"Yes, the first meeting was at the opening ceremony three years ago, the second time was at Charles's wedding, and today is the third time. ”

Edward, like his brother, was also a scumbag, did not finish secondary school in England, and transferred to Ross College, where he only studied for three years.

The fact that he remembered his meeting with Yannick so clearly and deliberately said it also showed that he valued Yannick's attitude.

Yannick doesn't necessarily care about what he values, but he has to show it.

Yannick was calm, and in the presence of nineteen-year-old Edward, he could not easily let him see his thoughts.

"Actually, it should be four times, in '76, I saw you at a wedding. But I didn't expect you and Jonas to become classmates. ”

"We get along pretty well, but any friendship takes years. ”

"Yes, the Hoffmans have always valued their friendship with the Windsor family and believe it will continue. ”

After listening to Yannick's words, Edward understood one thing, that is, his own family may also have an interest in the Hoffman family. Otherwise, Yannick wouldn't have said that.

If that were the case, Edward wouldn't have been in a hurry to get into a relationship with Yannickra. Because of rashly getting closer to the relationship, it will only reveal that you know too little in the family, and it will even affect the original relationship.

He changed his mind and no longer saw Yannick as a bridge, and at this time, it was better to work on Jonas.

So, he said with a smile: "The first time I came to visit, I realized that the environment where Uncle Yannick's house lived was really beautiful, and it was simply a paradise on earth. ”

"If you like it, you can come back more often in the future. You are always welcome to the Hoffman family. Is your university already arranged?"

"Yes, Jesus College, Cambridge, study history. ”

"Is this your hobby?"

"Just one of my hobbies, I prefer drama, but sadly, my mom won't allow me to go to drama school. ”

"Don't blame your mother, she has so many things to worry about, and for the sake of the royal family's honor, you have to take your own responsibility. If you are still interested in this area after graduating from university, maybe I can help you. ”

With this sentence, Edward's purpose of deliberately approaching Yannick was achieved.

He smiled and said, "If there is a real need, I will tell Jonas, Uncle Yannick, I will go play with my classmates." ”

"Have fun. ”

In Jonas's third-floor bedroom, Isabella and a few girls from junior high school curiously visit a boy's bedroom. They are not very old, and because they have been in contact with Jonas in the past, they are invited to Jonas's celebratory reception.

Emile likes to come into contact with such simple girls the most, they are not so worldly, and they still retain their original innocence.

When she took out the photos of Jonas when she was a child, she saw a few little girls showing shyness, and she laughed proudly.

She is so unreliable, fortunately, the few men she has met in her life can protect her well.

Dad, brother, ex-husband, and the current husband of the childhood sweetheart, are all willing to protect a scheming, lovely woman.

Isabella looked out of the window of the study and saw Jonas laughing and talking to a few middle-aged people in the shade of a tree, and her handsome face was no longer gloomy and looked even more charming.

Looking back at the silver-haired old lady with her hair in shape, she sighed softly.

Although this serious old lady is in her sixties, her waist is still straight, and her eyes are sharp and frightening.

After a few days of rehearsals with Jonas, she also knew how strong the old lady was, and she didn't like the color of her skin at all.

Alas...... The first first love, it seems that it has been lost before it falls in love.

"Brother Jonas, congratulations on your admission to the University of Zurich. De Hertz walked down the path with Neuer, who was fourteen years old, running in front with a gift box in his hand.

"Thank you, little Neuer. Jonas greeted him, took the gift from Neuer, turned to Deherz behind her, and said, "Uncle Venus, I am honored to have you here. ”

Neuer put his hands behind his back a little unhappily, and his toes crushed a small flower on the road. "Brother Jonas, you didn't kiss me. ”

Dehertz couldn't help but smile when he saw his daughter's expression. "Is Jacob back? I just happen to have something...... Oh, I see him, you young people playing. ”

Jonas's third uncle, Jacob, kept an eye on the guests, and when he saw Dehertz, who was traveling with him, he immediately greeted him. DeHertz embraced him intimately, and the two of them went to the table to get a glass of wine and sat down in a chair under the apple tree.

Jonas looked at Neuer, who was pouting, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, it's Brother Jonas's fault." ”

He reached out and gently hugged Neuer and kissed her on the forehead. "Helen and Magdalena are also here, playing a game of murder on the east side near the vineyard, are you going to play with them?"

After being kissed by Jonas, she felt satisfied, hugged Jonas back, and pushed him away a little shyly. "Helen is back, I haven't seen her in a long time. ”

"Go ahead, don't quarrel. ”

She smiled and waved at Jonas. "Brother Jonas, then I'll go. ”

Of course, Jonas could feel the little girl's thoughts, but Jonas didn't have the idea of developing them.

They are all people in a circle, just like Kostler and Dinah, if they have a relationship, they will definitely be discredited after cheating.

What's more, this kind of little girl-like like, on the one hand, is full of uncertainty, and she can't help the wind and rain, and when she grows up, I'm afraid it will change.

On the other hand, this liking comes with a hint of adoration. When they grow up, they will find that the objects of their worship also have their own shortcomings, and the disillusionment of worship will lead to the disappearance of feelings.

The yard was already full of cars, and the cars of the later guests had to be parked along the road all the way to the outside of the yard.

Guests are automatically divided into different groups according to age and gender.

The largest group was still nearly 100 students, who mainly gathered on the lawn on the east side, sitting in several circles and playing games.

There was also a group of people who went on a tour of the lake with Jonas' yacht and his sailboat, and everyone could find something to do to make them happy.

After eleven o'clock, Jonas's aunt Vera had not yet arrived, and it was only two hours from Basel, and she and Philippe had already set off before eight o'clock.

This made Hannah a little worried, and looked in the direction of the gate from time to time.

At one o'clock after eleven, Jonas finally waited for them, and he hurried to meet them. "Grandma Vera, Grandpa Philip, what's wrong? You've been gone for more than three hours, and we're all worried about you. ”

"My little Jonas, you are about to enter another stage of your life, and Grandma blesses you. Vera smiled and hugged Jonas several times and kissed her, and Jonas had to bend over in order to accommodate her.

Philip smiled and patted her on the back and said, "Okay, you see Jonas is about to kneel on the ground." There was a little accident, our car broke down halfway, and we ended up having to find a nearby friend to send us over. ”

Philip Hoffman and Villa Hoffman are both descendants of the Hoffman family, but the two families have been separated by five generations. In Europe, cousins and cousins can marry directly, and many families almost intermarry internally.

Vera is Jonas's aunt and grandmother, she is more than a decade younger than Hannah, and she was almost always taken care of by Hannah when she was a child, so she has a good relationship with Hannah.

Philip is the richest man in the Hoffmann family, and he now owns 50 percent of the shares of Basel Pharma, and has been the richest man in Switzerland for many years.

However, the couple lived frugally, there was no domestic servant in the family, they all did their own housework, and the car they drove was only a Volkswagen car of less than $10,000.

"Grandpa Philip, your car is long overdue. ”

He laughed and said, "The old man is usually very reliable, but today it was just an accident." Jonas, congratulations. ”

He handed over a wrapped gift, which Jonas took and thanked him again.

Hannah walked over, and Vera quickened her pace to meet her. "Hannah, sorry, we were almost late. ”

"No, you're fine. ”

With all the guests arriving, Jonas walked over to a microphone set up in the doorway, which carried a set of speakers to facilitate speech.

This kind of large-scale drinking party held during the day is mainly to eat and drink, and there will be no singing and dancing programs.

The number of people invited to a cocktail party in a general family is almost never more than 100, and there is no need for a microphone to speak, and everyone can hear it, which is the basic standard.

However, there are too many guests invited today, and it is still an occasion to give a speech, so you can only use a speaker that is despised by most people.

Yannick was the first to walk over and greeted all the guests, almost without missing a beat, and welcomed them.

Jonas is the protagonist of the day, and the reception is held for him to go to college, and at the same time, it is also the equivalent of his coming-of-age ceremony. By the end of August, he would be eighteen years old, and there would be no more celebrations.

At such times, Jonas also welcomed everyone first, and then took out a written manuscript and began to speak.

This kind of speech is almost the same, first thanking parents for giving life, thanking grandma for nurturing and taking care of her life, thanking teachers for teaching knowledge, thanking friends for warming their hearts, and thanking classmates for increasing their experience.

Stand in the shoes of a young person, reminisce about the past, and look forward to the future. Looking forward to the future life, planning, and the future life, full of ideal feelings, etc......

Finally, to the applause of the audience, Jonas ended his speech, and everyone dispersed to continue having fun.

Theresa stood in the audience, listening to Jonas's speech with a gentle smile on her face.

Although she knew that she was about to separate, she didn't have the slightest resentment in her heart, and in the past few months, there was only sweetness between the two people.
