Chapter 35: Making a Ghost Friend?

Since Jia Lei talked to Ubatu that day, he has tentatively mentioned Utarsi several times when he called Uncle Utarus, but every time Jia Lei mentioned the name Utarus, the general's uncle was very angry, and the most serious one was to hang up Jia Lei's phone directly.

"I've tried, but what you said can't be done! You have to know that I'm just a small person, and such a big thing can't be done by me saying a word or two. Jia Lei said to Ubatu.

Since the last time they met, they often meet and talk in private.

"I know it's embarrassing for you! Actually, I didn't have much hope, but my father's medical report came out, and the doctor said he had five years to live at most. Ubatu said.

"Five years? At that time, Uncle Uttars will be eighty-one, and his life is rare for seventy years, and in our country, it is a joy and mourning when he is over 80 years old! I hope you will not be too sad, after all, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and we can't help it. Jia Lei could only comfort Ubatu with slightly pale words.

"I know that old age, sickness and death can't change it, so I want him to be happy when he is alive and help him fulfill all his wishes. Ubatu said.

"Actually, I think that at this time, you should take your children and family with your uncle at this time, which is better than any gift you give him! I hope that he can live the rest of his life happily and share the joy of family with his loving family. Jia Lei said.

"You're right, that's all I can do now!" Ubatu said unwillingly.

"Jia Lei, are you ready? The banquet is about to start. Utars said to Jia Lei.

"I'm ready, I'm coming!" Jia Lei finished speaking, pulled the customized suit on his body, and pulled the small bow tie around his neck and walked out.

"Today's banquet is very important, the ball is hosted by a member of the royal family, and this is probably the highest banquet you can attend in London. You must be careful!" Wu Tatars instructed Jia Lei.

The social circle of the corrupt country is very strict and classified, and it stands to reason that Jia Lei will never easily participate in the banquet of the royal family, even if it is only a low-level viscount.

But after all, Utars was once the son-in-law of an earl, and he also made several good friends in high society for decades, and this Viscount of Windsor was one of his close friends.

"I was a little nervous, I always felt like I wasn't fit in there. Jia Lei looked at the clothes on his body very awkwardly, and touched the newly cut hairstyle.

"Don't be too nervous, Viscount Windsor has been a good friend of mine for many years, and he will have someone take care of you when the time comes. Utars said.

"I see. Jia Lei nodded.

"Then let's go!" said Utars, touching Jia Lei's head.

"Ahem!" After the two men went out, a cold wind blew, and Utars covered his mouth and coughed twice.

"Uncle, are you sick?" Jia Lei asked worriedly.

"No, I've just been a little tired lately!" said Utars.

"Sir, do you need me to call the doctor? You still have a fever during the day. The butler asked worriedly.

"No, I'm just too tired to feel a little sick, it's really not a big deal!" said Uttars.

"I think it's better to have a doctor's look. Jia Lei was worried that after all, Ubatu had said that Utars had an incurable disease.

"The banquet is about to start, and if you delay any longer, you will be late! My body knows for itself, and I can ask the doctor to see it when I get back." Wu Tatars said and took Jia Lei into the car.

"Actually, I don't like this kind of banquet, so don't go next time, right? Jia Lei said to Utars.

The reason why Utars is so tired is entirely because of Jia Lei, he took Jia Lei to five large banquets in a week, this kind of banquet is particularly energy-consuming and physical, even young people can't bear it.

"I don't have much time, I can't help you if I want to help you in the future! Now you have to hold on when you're tired, this kind of circle is difficult to break into, and it is impossible for anyone to lead an ordinary person in his life. You have to take advantage of the past few years to build a good relationship with these people and make a few friends who are similar to Ubatu. That way, in case I'm no longer there, you can stay in the circle. Utars said.

"You know?" said Jia Lei, raising his head in surprise.

"You two are my children, and I will care about whatever you do, and of course I know about your meeting. Utarth said with a smile.

"I feel very relieved to see that the relationship between the two of you is so good! Many of your uncles and nephews will get into trouble because of the fight over the inheritance, and they will not get along with each other for old age! I didn't expect that neither of you actually wanted my inheritance, and the relationship was so good that it made me jealous. Utarth said with a smile.

"You don't need to be jealous, Uncle Ubatu still admires you very much, and you will always be the most important person in his heart. Jia Lei said sincerely.

"Yes, that's a pleasure for me. Utars said with a sincere smile.

His eyes narrowed, and his smile seemed to spread from his heart to his eyes.

The banquets of the upper class were lively and deserted......

The powerful, the beautiful, and the people who are at the center of public opinion are always surrounded by several layers of people talking and laughing.

And in the corner where the light does not shine, some deserted people and people who have lost their power are hiding here, and of course some people who are troublesome are also hiding here.

Jia Lei met a lot of people in a daze this night, and these big people greeted Jia Lei cordially when they looked at Wu Tas's face, but Jia Lei saw contempt and contempt from the depths of their eyes.

Especially Jia Lei's yellow appearance, no matter where he goes, it will cause whispering.

"Uncle, I'm a little hungry and want to find a place to eat. Jia Lei couldn't stand the curious eyes and whispers around him, and found an excuse for himself to leave.

"Go ahead, you should eat more when you're growing up. Wu Tatars glanced at the gossiping crowd around him, and immediately helped Jia Lei find a more suitable explanation.

So Jia Lei ran to the buffet table where almost no one moved, took a few high-end foods that he had only heard of before, piled them on plates and hid in the corner of the venue.

"I'll see what to eat first?" Jia Lei thought as he stared at the particularly delicate food on the plate.

"Salmon is good! At least I've eaten it, and it doesn't taste weird. Jia Lei glanced at the food and happily chose a piece of salmon sashimi to put in his mouth.

After all, the food of the rotten country is a dark dish out of the light, and it is better to eat salmon sashimi that is completely unprocessed than to eat it and look up at the stars......

"Hani! I miss you, you don't know if I haven't seen you in the past few days, my thoughts about you are as cold as snowflakes in the middle of winter......" Before Jia Lei's salmon could be swallowed in his stomach, there was a sound of flirting outside the door of the lounge where he was hiding.

"Don't be like this, there are so many people outside, what if your wife or my husband sees it?" said a delicate female voice.

I remember that eight out of ten Western banquets in the movie had this kind of plot! In my previous life, I thought it was a screenwriter's trick to cheat money, but it turned out to be true. Jia Lei said vaguely, and then raised his neck and swallowed the salmon fillet in his mouth.

"Honey, I can't wait, you can touch it to know how much I miss you......" The pair of adulterers outside almost immediately ignited like dry firewood encountering a raging fire, and Jia Lei, who was burning, was caught off guard.

"Hmm...... Yes...... Don't be outside, you'll be seen. The woman shouted intermittently, her voice soaring.

"Is it live?......" Jia Lei said in surprise with a piece of ham in his mouth.

"You're right, let's go in?" said the adulterer, as he turned the doorknob.

"Click!" The door was locked, and if there was something in Jia Lei's mouth, he would definitely be scared and screamed.

"Damn, they're not going to come into this lounge, what should I do......" Jia Lei suddenly became numb.

The first time he participated in a noble banquet, he encountered this kind of thing, and Jia Lei didn't know what would happen, would the two adulterers outside kill him......

"What should I do if I bump into it later......" Jia Lei said as he looked around with his plate, trying to find a place to hide.

"Why don't you have a wardrobe here?" No, you can bring me a big flower pot!" Jia Lei said with a particularly embarrassed glance at the small lounge.

As a temporary lounge, of course there is no wardrobe or something, Jia Lei took a closer look at the 18th-century style sofa with high metal legs in the lounge.

It is indeed a place where you can hide people, but according to the consistent routine in the dog blood drama, it must also be a place for adulterers to exchange feelings.

"The couch or something, don't even think about it! How embarrassing it will be to face to face when the time comes!" Jia Lei complained while quickly hiding behind the heavy silk curtains with a strong palace style.

Hiding in this place, even if you are really discovered, it won't be too embarrassing!

Sure enough, as Jia Lei expected, the pair of adulterers ** fell straight to the sofa as soon as they came in, and Jia Lei wiped the cold sweat on his head in fear when he saw this.

"I'm scared to death!" Jia Lei said with his hand on his chest, afraid of being discovered by the people in the house, so he couldn't help but retreat to the edge of the terrace.

"This chocolate is good!" A pale anemic hand suddenly reached out from behind him and took a piece of chocolate from Jia Lei's plate.

"Ghost!" Jia Lei covered his mouth and screamed, the plate in his hand was almost scared.

"It's all good stuff, but don't waste it!" the ghost hand reached over again, grabbed the plate in Jia Lei's hand and said.

"You ......" Jia Lei covered his mouth and glanced back suddenly, and his body subconsciously took two steps back.

"If you take two more steps back, you will be discovered by the people in the house?" reminded the "ghost" who snatched Jia Lei's plate.

"Hmm...... Thank you!" Jia Lei whispered and returned to the edge of the terrace.

"No thanks, just give me these foods. The bloodless, blonde, blue-eyed, white-faced "ghost" said with a plate.

"If you like it, take it!" Jia Lei hurriedly said, after all, the other party looked like a patient from his face to the wheelchair he was sitting in.

"Thank you, out of gratitude I think I have a good proposal, would you like to hear it?" asked the white-faced ghost.

"What's a good proposal?" asked Jia Lei.

"I think you can climb over from the terrace opposite and walk out through my door. The white-faced ghost suggested.

The terraces of these lounges are close to each other, the fences are not high, and some terraces can even connect two rooms together. It seems to have been specially prepared for this situation, as if it was always easy to transfer people from the terrace.

"That's a really good idea!" Jia Lei nodded and said.

I saw Jia Lei untie the cuffs of his clothes, tear off the napkin on the terrace table and put it on the fence, and easily climbed over the fence and jumped to the terrace on the other side with both hands and legs on the tablecloth.

"That's it! I didn't even leave a footprint, perfect!" Jia Lei pulled the tablecloth over and said with satisfaction.

"Huh...... You seem to be pretty good at climbing walls?" asked the white-faced ghost with a chuckle.

"I'm not good at climbing walls, after all, there are no walls in the city! But I'm very good at climbing trees......" Jia Lei said proudly.

"It's a pity that I'm sick now and can't climb trees anymore! The white-faced "ghost" lamented that not only could he not climb trees now, but he even had to eat a snack secretly.

"Well......" The atmosphere was awkward, and Jia Lei felt that he had talked to death about Tian'er.

"What's that...... I still have something to do, so I'll go first!" Jia Lei felt that the atmosphere was not very good, and immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet and wanted to run.

"Okay, whatever you want!" the white-faced ghost nodded.

After Jia Lei said goodbye to the other party, he immediately walked towards the door, but when he walked to the window, Jia Lei stopped unexpectedly, because he heard two familiar voices.

"Are you alright, sir?" do you want me to call an ambulance for you?" came the voice of Kent, the butler of Utars, from the next lounge.

"Ahem, I'm fine, just take a little more rest. Utars's weak voice came.

"But you have a fever?" asked the old butler Kent worriedly.

"It's okay, I'll be fine with my medicine! Utars said.

"But the doctor said that it is not good for your health, and I hope you don't use it too much. Kent reminded.

"I'm just going to smoke one! So I can be refreshed and hold out until the end of the party. Jia Lei is the first time to participate in such a large-scale ball, so he can't leave in a hurry. Utars said.

"But master, I see that Young Master Jia Lei doesn't seem to like this kind of banquet very much, will you arouse his disgust by doing this?" Kent asked worriedly,

"Jia Lei is still young, and he doesn't understand the importance of interpersonal communication! But as his elder, I must teach him these truths, and I don't want Jia Lei to regret it when he grows up! After all, Jia Lei is so self-motivated, and the connections between this kind of circle can not be made overnight, and if you want to perfectly integrate into this circle, it will take five, ten or even 20 years to cultivate relationships. Utars said.

"But with your current body, I'm afraid you can't manage that much. The steward of Kent reminded Uttars.

"It's because I'm not in good health that I want to take Jia Lei into this circle as soon as possible, once I fall! With Jia Lei's background, there is no way to contact this circle again. I'm running out of time......" Utars said with a laugh, and then he lit a cigarette.

"Hmm...... Woo!" Jia Lei's eyes turned red when he heard it, and he sobbed silently.

"I think you should be quiet, otherwise the old man will be sad if he is discovered. The white-faced "ghost" reminded Jia Lei.

"Thanks! Jia Lei quickly wiped away his tears and walked out quickly.

A few minutes later, the white-faced ghost heard Jia Lei in a pleasant voice, talking loudly to Utars next door about his gains at this banquet and his understanding of the interpersonal relationship at the banquet.

"You're very observant, and you have a good grasp of all kinds of news! If only you could make a few more friends. Wu Tatars looked at Jia Lei with satisfaction and said.

"It's my first time here, how can I make a friend? No, I really made a ghost friend today. And I made him owe me a meal!" Jia Lei said proudly and proudly to Wu Tas.

"What kind of ghost friends have you made? You obviously said this to amuse me, right? In your Chinese dialect, you are a fool, right?" asked Uttarus with a smile.

"I didn't lie to you, there really is a ghost friend here!, it's still a white-faced ghost!" Jia Lei said as he looked at the terrace behind Utars.

"Cut! I'm not a ghost...... a man whispered in the night. 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~
