Chapter 24: The Dinner Party (Part II)
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Xie Tianci's tone was still arrogant and polite, but the unconsciously raised octave tone already showed that this kid was suppressing his anger.
"You don't understand?" said Sheldon, who sat down in his chair and repeated what he had just said in a natural and impatient tone: "I don't want to change places, this seat is exactly in this 16* The golden section line of the 9-meter room allows the breeze to blow in through the window behind me, but it does not blow directly to my back, and the light source is 37.5 degrees obliquely above, which will not weaken the lighting because of the distance and affect my eyesight without worrying about the falling dust falling into the plate, by the way, do you know how much dust and mites can be stored in this Renaissance French style Swarovski chandelier in the hundreds of crevices and dead corners that cannot be cleaned? β
Xie Erdong said while also very exaggerated shudder, in order to show his concern about the hygiene of this seemingly clean, elegant, and luxurious room, with my years of research and understanding of Xie Erdon, I believe that this kid has no malicious intent at all, just habitual nitpicking, but I still have to stand in an objective and fair third party position to say, this is a neat and merciless slap in the face to Xie Tianci's provocation just now!
It can be seen that the cultivation of the second ancestor of the Xie family is not very good, and it is estimated that he has not been confronted like this before, after listening to Xie Erdon's explanation, his forehead tendons are already beating and his eyes are showing a fierce light, and it seems that he may start fighting at any time, just when I thought that this meal would not be eaten, Xie Tianci's mother, who had just sat down on the main seat, suddenly said that Mance said in an orderly manner: "God, sit down, how many times have you said that you must be cultivated, did the etiquette education you received since childhood only teach you to be careful?"
This seems to be an objective and fair statement, but in fact it means that their rich and powerful superior people are not guilty of dealing with inferior people like us, and their tendency to pull away is very obvious, and sure enough, after reprimanding her son without pain, the widow immediately turned her gun and opened fire on us: "Ladies and gentlemen, although you are guests, please also pay attention to your identity, otherwise as a host, I have the right to ask undesirable guests to leave my house." β
Someone found fault and didn't fight back, so I said with a grin: "So we are still guests? I stayed here all afternoon and didn't see the Xie family come to be polite, I thought that people worth less than 100 million in this house could be automatically invisible." β
"Who are you?" Mrs. Xie frowned, "I don't remember allowing anyone other than Xie Erdong to come to our house." β
"I'm here to help my friend get the account! His dad left him a billion, and if you want to give cash, someone has to help carry it back, right?"
My oily tone made the mistress of the Xie family very unhappy, and she snorted and turned her head to show that she was not familiar with inferior people like me, but the butler of the Xie family, Chishang, dutifully stood up for the master's family: "The contemptible man has never heard the master talk about giving away his private assets to outsiders, and the master has never mentioned this in his will." β
"How can you say it's a gift?" I smiled evilly: "This is obviously an inheritance, Lao Tzu left the money to his son, and you have to let an outsider know?"
Li Nan finally played the role of his lawyer, and followed the help: "Our law firm has received the supplementary terms of the will signed by Mr. Xie, and we also have a telephone recording of Mr. Xie's opinions on the redistribution of the estate, which can prove that Mr. Xie is really ......."
The bald lawyer Hong on the other side interrupted Li Nan impatiently: "Not to mention whether Mr. Xie was sober when he signed the supplementary terms of the will, and whether he could be responsible for his own actions, there is currently no evidence to show that Mr. Xie Erdong and Mr. Xie are related......
"Shut up!" Mrs. Xie roared angrily, realizing that she was a little out of shape, she quickly calmed down and said to us with a cold face: "Before the dinner is over, I don't want to bring up these unpleasant topics, if you are in a hurry to resolve the dispute, you can do it after the dinner, now, serve the food!"
The master said so, and we had to stop for the time being, thank Tianci for not giving up, and went to provoke Wang Xiaohan again: "Xiaohan, sit over there with me, don't sit with this guy!"
"No need," Wang Xiaohan glanced up at the chandelier and said lightly.
"Are you angry with me?" Xie Tianci complained in a sentimental voice: "I have already explained to you, it is just a classmate of my hip-hop club, and my home is not far from here and I took my helicopter home, if you don't like it, I won't send her in the future, it's ......"
"Why bother, just be careful not to let your fiancΓ©e see it in the future. I said with a sneer.
Xie Tianci glared at me fiercely, but in the end he didn't dare to have a seizure, and continued to maintain his appearance as a handsome son.
"It's really not necessary," Wang Xiaohan looked up at the chandelier again and said: "Actually, I think this Mr. Xie is very reasonable, my previous requirements on hygiene details are too superficial, and I never thought that this kind of chandelier has such a hidden health hazard, in view of this, I would like to formally make a request to your Xie family, if we fulfill the marriage contract one day in the future, I hope to replace all the chandeliers in your house with round lamps with dust covers and easy to clean before the wedding......"
"Remember to be non-toxic plastic!" Sheldon kindly reminded.
"To be non-toxic plastic. Wang Xiaohan added.
Xie Tianci's mouth was wide open, his expression was like swallowing a fly, and I imagined a little that the Xie family's big mansion decorated in the style of the 16th-century European royal family was full of safe, energy-saving and non-toxic plastic lamps, and suddenly felt that even if we didn't pay a penny from the Xie family on this trip, let Xie Erdong get along with Wang Xiaohan for a few more days, teach this girl some more experience in being a freak, and then disgust the Xie family for a lifetime, and it would not be in vain for us to work hard to run this trip.
Finally, the appetizer was served, and Xie Tianci had to sit alone next to the fat lawyer and gritted his teeth to cut the creamy fried scallops on the plate, with a hideous expression as if he was scratching Sherdon's face, I tasted a mouthful of fragrant French dinner, I felt that it was not poisonous, and I quietly gave Sherdon a thumbs up in a relaxed mood: "Well done!
"What are you talking about?" said Sheldon with big innocent eyes, "I'm just giving a pertinent opinion for everyone's safety and health." β
ββ¦β¦ Whatever you want, anyway, as long as you play normally, I don't think it's difficult to drive this mother and son crazy to encroach on all the Xie family's property within three days!"
