Chapter 1: To London! Mahler's dream

31 December 1992

Of course, such a big thing as fighting for an inheritance cannot be done in a day or two, Jia Lei is busy with his own affairs while asking someone to help Xiao Jew and his grandmother get passports.

"Dad! Today is your third anniversary, I have prepared a lot of things for you! Here are all your favorite foods to eat and drink, your son and I have worked hard this year but have not made much money, you must not be reluctant to eat." Jia Lei opened a bottle of Moutai and poured it in front of Jia Aiguo's grave.

"In the first two years, I was reluctant to give you Moutai, but now your son and I have money! Let's drink a bottle of Moutai and pour a bottle, I tell you that this is a good special Moutai, and money can't buy it! I'll burn you more paper money and ingots, you remember to take this wine and money to bribe the king of Hades and the little ghosts below, so that they can give you a good baby." Jia Lei knelt on the ground as he spoke, and burned paper money for Jia Lei's patriotism.

"You have suffered all your life and have not enjoyed the blessings of your son, and you can't use it if I earn so much money now! I can only burn more houses for you and subordinates to serve you, don't be reluctant to spend it." Jia Lei said.

"Hey, when it comes to money, I think it's good that our family has eight generations of poor peasants, at least our family doesn't have those messy things. Recently, I learned that their family is a distant relative of the Xi family's garden, and he is also involved in a wealthy family, and now the family is in a troubled ......," Jia Lei said naggingly to the photo of Jia Aiguo on the tombstone.

A gust of wind blew, and the green smoke from the paper money swirled a few times in mid-air and drifted away!

Jia Lei was still sitting in front of the grave while burning paper money while reporting to Jia Aiguo what had happened in the past year, and he stayed in the martyrs' cemetery all morning.

"Oops! It's almost 12 o'clock, and I can't stay here anymore. Stay alone, I'll come back to see you in a few months. By the way, I donated a sum of money to my hometown a while ago, so that they can repair the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb in the village, and you should go underground now to report the good news to your ancestors! Your son and I will glorify your ancestors, don't forget to tell your ancestors, so that they must bless me!" Jia Lei finally said a word and kowtowed to Jia Aiguo three times in a row, and then patted his pants and stood up.

"Dad...... Anyway, I'm also a person who has died once, so there's nothing to be afraid of! I must live a beautiful and vigorous life in this life, just look at it......" Jia Lei left without looking back.

2 January 1993

"Jia Lei, what are you looking for?" the little Jew looked at Jia Lei and asked.

"Strange! Why didn't I see those Victors?" asked Jia Lei curiously.

"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days and still miss them?" asked the little Jew speechlessly.

"Of course I don't want to! I'm just wondering, that Chairman Victor pestered Grandma Huang every day a few days ago, why is he not here today when it is so important? They shouldn't sit in the business class in the back, right?" Jia Lei asked.

"Mr. Charles said he would go back to spend New Year's Day with his wife, and he left on the 31st! The old thing Ikli Victor said that he was going back to London to attend the royal New Year's celebrations, so he took his son and left on the 30th! He said every day that he would make amends to my grandmother, but he only stayed in Pearl City for three days. The little Jew snorted coldly.

"That's not right? Isn't the Victor Group a company in country M? Why did he go to country Y for the New Year? Doesn't he go to the White House dinner?" Jia Lei asked curiously.

"There are some things that you children don't know, right? Ikli Victor has always been most proud of his status as the heir to the baron, so he is most enthusiastic about participating in this kind of aristocratic gathering! But he also doesn't want to think about it, when the Victor family was down, he was not even qualified to attend the dinner party of the ambassador of country Y in Pearl City! No one took him as a baron seriously, and now the royal family of country Y just invited him over for the sake of money, and he really regarded himself as a person. Huang Shuxian sneered.

"Hmm...... I don't understand, how did a Jew from the Victor family become a baron of country Y?" asked Jia Lei, puzzled.

This title was actually bought by the Victor family, and in 1925 the Prime Minister of Y country, David Lloyd George, introduced a special statute on the honor system. At that time, it was the First World War, and this law passed in 1920 was specially made to sell the title, and the royal family of Country Y wanted to continue the war by exchanging the title for profit. At that time, the Victor family spent a lot of money to buy a lot of arms and military supplies to send to country Y, which was the result of this Scottish title from the baron. The little Jewish grandmother explained.

"Oh...... It turns out that there is such a thing as buying and selling officials and lords in any country? Even the British Empire is no exception!" Jia Lei nodded and said.

Of course, this kind of purchased title is very low only the lord, but it can't stand the fact that the Victor family spent a lot of money to buy a large number of arms to present to the royal family, so the Victor family got a title from the baron, although this kind of title from the baron is not an orthodox noble title of country Y, but it has the advantage that it can be hereditary. Huang Shuxian explained.

"Oh...... No wonder no one paid attention to them, the baron's descendants, they turned out to be an impostor! When that Milielil Vik saw the family heraldic ring on my hand and snatched it like crazy, I thought it was very important. It's just an ornament!" said the little Jew speechlessly, looking at the ring on his hand.

"Alright, let's stop talking about this nonsense! Let's think about how we can help your grandma get that money back. Jia Lei hurriedly said.

"Then do you have any ideas?" asked Jia Lei.

"My family was born in eight generations of poor peasants, what can I do about this kind of rich family grievances? This kind of thing has to be done by your grandmother herself, I heard that the daughters of big families have to learn these things since they were young, I guess your grandmother must be very familiar with this kind of rich family fighting. One person will top at least 100 of us! The impostor of the Victor family is no match for your grandma, a wealthy lady, at all!

"Oh, Jia Lei, your little mouth is so sweet! If the little Jew were half as smart as you, I wouldn't have to be so old, and I would have to go all the way to the other side of the ocean. Huang Shuxian touched Jia Lei's head and praised him.

After the plane landed at the London airport, Charles Victor pushed a woman to the exit to pick them up.

"Sister Anna, we haven't seen each other in a long time! I didn't expect to see you again in this life. Mrs. Charles smiled and said to the little Jewish grandmother.

"You...... Are you Nancy Mahler?" asked Huang Shuxian in surprise after taking a closer look at the woman in front of her.

"I didn't think you would recognize me, Sister Anna?" said Mahler with a smile.

"How could I not recognize you! You used to come to the house to play with Charles when you were a child, but unfortunately we rarely saw each other after you got sick. Huang Shuxian bent down and touched her head and said pityingly.

"You still remember this after all these years, I forgot about it a long time ago! You have to work hard all the way, I have prepared a room for you at home. Mahler said.

"I didn't expect you to actually marry Charles in the end!" Huang Shuxian said with relief.

"I've been in bad health since I was a child, and I'm always sick, so who would marry me but Charles. Mahler said with a wry smile.

"Don't say that, you're the eldest lady of the Mahlers! Huang Shuxian said.

"My father has six children, what kind of eldest lady am I, and my sister Dido is! Mahler said and left the airport.

"Grandma Huang, who is this Mahler Lady? How do you know each other?" asked Jia Lei.

"Have you ever seen the Mahler Villa in Pearl City?" Huang Shuxian asked Jia Lei.

"Of course I've seen it, is it that boat-like house?" Jia Lei nodded and said.

"That's Madame Mahler's house! There weren't many Jews in Pearl City back then, so everyone had a good relationship! After I married into the Victor family, I often went to Jewish family gatherings, and Mahler, Sassoon, and Hartung were the three most famous Jewish families at that time, but unfortunately there is no news of the other two except Sassoon. Especially the Mahler family...... When the islanders captured Pearl City, many people thought that their family was dead!" Huang Shuxian said.

"Our family was very fatal, and although most of the members of the Mahler family were imprisoned in prisoner-of-war camps by the Japanese at the time, our family was lucky to have escaped. My father, Eric Mahler, died in a plane crash on March 13, 1954. He was 79 years old!" Nancy Mahler replied.

"Grandma Huang, how come the people you know are celebrities!" Jia Lei sighed.

"Of course! I think my Huang family was also a well-known family in Mingzhu City, not to mention that my mother was still the eldest lady of the Shen family! I have participated in the balls of all major families in Mingzhu City, and when I got married, the embassies of various countries sent people to congratulate me. My uncle even invited the ambassador of country Y to be the guest of honor for the wedding!" Ms. Huang Shuxian said proudly.

"It must have been a grand scene, but I was born too late to see it!" said the little Jew enviously.

"When I got married, I hired a photographer to take pictures and took a roll of film, but unfortunately these things are gone...... Huang Shuxian said with a sigh.

"I don't have Sister Anna's video or anything, but I still keep the picture of you when you got married!

"No, the people in those photos are gone, what else am I looking at? I will only be sad when I see them!" Huang Shuxian shook her head and said.

"Grandma, don't be sad! Don't you still have the wedding photos of you and Grandpa Wu at home, let's just go back and see that! Grandpa Wu is much better to me than this own grandfather. The little Jew hurriedly said.

"You're right, your Grandpa Wu is much better than Ikli Victor!" Huang Shuxian nodded.

The car slowly came to a quiet villa area, and saw that both sides of the road were full of gorgeous medieval manors and castles, and even the rose trees on both sides were one person tall.

"This is the Victor family's estate, and my brother now lives in the family castle with his sixth wife and children, and Mahler and I have built a Norwegian-style villa next door because they are in trouble. That villa looks a bit like Mahler's Villa, you'll love it!" Charviktor happily introduced to Huang Shuxian, pointing to his villa.

When old Mr. Mahler built the Mahler Villa according to the dream of Nancy's sister Didow, Nancy was envious. Are you helping her realize her dreams?" asked Huang Shuxian with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you still know me......" Charviktor smiled sheepishly.

"Thank you!" Nancy Mahler whispered, happily holding Mr. Charles' hand and resting her head on his shoulder. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
