Xiao Peng, dressed in a crisp suit, rode a rented Bentley to the venue of the reception, a three-story square castle in the middle of a lake. Seeing this, Xiao Peng's first feeling was that there must be a lot of mosquitoes in summer ------.

Xiao Peng wore a standard four-piece suit, and the kind that he wore a vest, which Yali forced him to wear.

Gotta wear it. After all, you want to see Ally's parents, don't you?

Speaking of which, Xiao Peng is still a little uncomfortable, because everything has to be on time in Switzerland, but they have to be late to participate in this drinking party.

This is called 'polite tardiness', and the Gauls are especially good at it, generally arriving about 30 minutes later than the agreed time, and arriving late in Switzerland。。。。。。 Well, it's quite rare.

When Xiao Peng and Ya Li entered the cocktail party, the housekeeper at the door looked at Xiao Peng in surprise, and repeatedly checked Xiao Peng's invitation several times before letting the two enter.

Xiao Peng was puzzled: "What is he doing? Can the invitation letter still be faked?"

Yali laughed: "It's not easy to come to an Oriental at such a party. ”

Xiao Peng's face sank after hearing this: "This girl is not cleaned up! Others let me in at a glance and stared at me for a long time!"

Yali became nervous when she heard this: "Honey, what did we say when we came?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, okay, I remember very clearly, you must restrain your anger, hey, isn't there an Oriental there?"

Yali turned her head to see a woman in a black dress standing there, next to a man with a big back and a beard.

Xiao Peng asked, "Who are those two people?

Yali was stunned: "You don't know them?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Who are they? I still have to know them?"

Yali said: "That woman is from your Huaxia, called Li Ran, the first princess from China in various European royal families, and the handsome guy next to him is his husband, Prince Charles of the Belgian Ligne family." I thought you could report such a big event in Huaxia. ”

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I really don't know this." He looked at the princess named Li Ran, uh, with small eyes and big mouth, and the appearance of an oriental beauty in the eyes of a standard Westerner.

Yali thought for a while: "But it's normal that you don't know, they are very interesting, when they got married, they were not held in the church, and the wedding was mainly traditional Chinese red, I still remember looking at Li Ran's red wedding dress at that time, I was very happy." After getting married, the two were also very low-key, the prince was still working as an interior designer in Gaul, and Li Ran had been engaged in luxury sales since giving birth to a child. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "This is the life of the prince and princess?

Yali said: "Otherwise, why do you think they should lie at home and eat nothing? Xiao, in fact, the more famous the children, the more they want to prove themselves, just like Sister Charlotte, why do you race horses everywhere? Speaking of which, the reason is very simple, no matter what we do, we don't have our own names. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "You are full men who don't know how hungry men are hungry! How many people want you to live like this!"

Yali said disdainfully: "There are only two kinds of people who think that our life is good, one is lazy and the other is coward. The former daydreams every day and fantasizes that one day a pie will fall on his head, while the latter is unwilling to face reality and accept the challenges of life!"

Xiao Peng pouted: "You can't say it so absolutely, you don't think so when you see the lives of people at the bottom of the society, everyone has their own dreams, but all dreams are based on the premise of solving the problem of food and clothing, you have a rich family since you were a child, so you naturally don't know what ordinary people think." I've been dreaming of pie in the sky. If someone looks down on a person who daydreams, it can only mean that his economic conditions are very good. Look at that Princess Li Ran, she doesn't daydream anymore? Do you dare to say that she never thought of marrying a prince when she was a child?"

After hearing this, Yali covered her mouth and laughed: "You are wrong, how can this Princess Li Ran say it in your Chinese language? Oh, she is a 'scholar', she studied finance and economics at your Kyoto Language and Culture University, and later went to Gaul for further study, enrolled in the Paris School of Management, and obtained an MBA degree in luxury marketing and management. In the future, she will work in sales for several luxury brands such as Givenchy, Balenciaga and Fendi, and she will be an elite. It was during this working time that I met Charles, who was engaged in design work, and the two could be regarded as the kind of people who had a common language and affection. ”

Xiao Pengle said: "I think our country should really publicize this Li Ran's deeds and tell those girls that it is useless to be beautiful, and you need to have something in your head! Our ancestors have a saying, called 'marry a wife and marry virtue, and take a concubine to accept a woman', and it really makes sense to look at it this way." It's really useless to just look pretty. ”

After hearing this, Yali began to nod her head and reacted: "Honey, do you mean that I look ugly?"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Why do you say that, what about your parents? What about the two bear children? Let's be bored here." ”

Yali said: "Alas, master, it must not appear until the end, since you are bored, let me help you introduce Princess Li Ran?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "Forget it, I can't do business on the pole, and I don't want to join the royal family, what does it have to do with them." ”

Yali just wanted to say something, but two hands reached out behind her and grabbed Xiao Peng and Yali's arms, and the two looked back and saw that it was Yali's half-sister Charlotte.

Yali looked happy: "Charlotte!"

Charlotte shook her head and interrupted Ya Li's words: "Don't say anything now, Xiao, follow me first." Yalie, you deal with it here first. ”

Seeing Charlotte's serious face, Xiao Peng and Yali looked at each other and nodded, Yali stayed at the reception and followed Charlotte to a room next to her.

Charlotte looked at Xiao Peng and Yali and said, "Xiao, this time things are in trouble. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What's the trouble?"

Charlotte said nervously, "This time such a big fight is for the two of you, my mother and Yali's father were very angry when they found out that she was in love with a Chinese. Today's drinking party is for Ya Li's blind date, to put it bluntly. ”

"What's that?" Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "What the hell are you doing? I'm not dead yet, okay? Besides, you don't shout about freedom of marriage and love every day, why are you still doing this?"

Charlotte smiled bitterly: "The 'freedom of marriage and love' is all for others, for us, we were born in such a family, and since we were born, we have not represented ourselves." ”

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "That, if I say something ugly, don't mind, let's just talk about things。。。。。。 ”

Charlotte waved her hand: "Xiao, I know what you have to say, you want to talk about my uncle, my mother, and my aunt's messy love life, right? Xiao, don't you understand a little bit? All children bear responsibilities that parents can't do by themselves." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, this sentence is true, now all parents are desperately giving their children all kinds of tutoring classes and all kinds of musical instrument lessons, in order to give their children what they never had.

However, Xiao Peng sneered: "Why do they make a decision for Ya Li? I want to see what kind of man they can find for Ya Li, whether he is richer or more capable than me!"

Charlotte shook her head: "Xiao, I know you're a great man. When he said this, he licked his lips at Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng was embarrassed, when they were in the Stars and Stripes, the two of them could have a moment of passion.

However, it is not just a matter of whether the man is good or not, it is related to the property inherited by the family in the future, and the most important thing is the land! Marriage is a topic that has never changed for thousands of years among the European aristocracy. My two brothers, Prince André, are married to Tatiana Saint-Domine, the heiress of Colombia's richest family, and Prince Pierre is married to Beatrice Borromio of the House of Grande Pear Savoy. Charlotte said.

"What about you?" Xiao Peng asked Charlotte, Charlotte was not married to a nobleman, she had a child with her ex-boyfriend, but she was not married, and her ex-boyfriend was an actor.

Charlotte shook her finger and said: "I'm different from Yalie, first, I don't have a princess title, and although I have children, I am not married, if we really want to get married back then, maybe I will face a lot of difficulties." ”

"And then, there's the biggest difference between me and Arlie. That's our Father. My father was a commoner and passed away. And what about Ary? His father, August V, was a ruthless fellow, and Ary's half-brother Ernst August Jr., because he married a commoner, her father was already in a hurry, and he wanted to withdraw his son's title of prince, and he wanted to take back the family property he had given to his son! This time the matter is really serious, you know, my mother and Yalie's father have not seen each other for more than ten years, even when little Ernst got married, more than 600 royals from various countries went to the scene, and my mother did not go, and now the two of them have held this drinking party together, which shows that their attitude is very serious. ”

The more Charlotte spoke, the more excited she became. Xiao Peng patted her on the shoulder: "Charlotte, thank you for telling me so much, but you ignored the most critical person, that is Yalie, do you think she is Daisy Fei?"

The Daisy Fei that Xiao Peng said is a character in the Western classic "The Great Gatsby", that is, the woman who haunts Gatsby's soul.

Xiao Peng suddenly found that the situation he was facing now was very similar to Gatsby's situation.

Gatsby, whose original name was James Katz, was a poor peasant boy who dreamed of one day getting ahead. Later, he simply changed his name to Jay Gatsby and became a military man. Later, he met Daisy Fay, the best girl. The two made a private agreement for life.

Later, when Gatsby returns to the Stars and Stripes as a war hero, Daisy is already married to Tom Buchannon, the son of an extremely wealthy nobleman. Gatsby, indulging in the dream of love, began to work hard to become a millionaire from a poor military officer, and then he bought a luxury villa, singing and dancing every night, and the lights were bright, hoping to attract the Buchanon couple on the other side of the bay.

Later, he finally reunited with Daisy Fay, and the two relived the old dream, only to find that Daisy Faye was a standard 'green tea', and on the one hand, he couldn't refuse Gatsby's wealth, and on the other hand, he couldn't refuse Buchannon's aristocratic status, and finally Daisy drove his car to kill Buchannon's lover, but let Gatsby take the blame, and finally Buchannon's lover's old public shot killed Gatsby, and Daisy, the man Gatsby loved all his life, didn't even attend Gatsby's wedding, but happily traveled to Europe with her husband. The rich people of the upper class are sometimes like this, cruel and sinister.

The difference between Gatsby and Buchanon is that although Gatsby is very rich, they still look down on him in the eyes of the aristocracy, because he is from a poor background and is just an upstart. They don't want to think that all nobles have an ancestor of the nouveau riche!

It is also because of this book that the name 'Daisy Fei' has become synonymous with 'green tea' in the eyes of Westerners.

Charlotte was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly asked Xiao Peng, "Have you ever thought about how much sacrifice Yali would have to make if she was with you?"

"She will sacrifice her fame, her inheritance, her wealth, etc., etc., and even her social circle and social status will be affected!" Charlotte stared at Xiao Peng as she spoke: "If you love her, will you let her lose this? Can you guarantee that you will give her a better life for a long time?"

Xiao Peng didn't even think about it, and directly shook his head and replied, "I can't guarantee it." ”

Charlotte looked at him suspiciously, and Xiao Peng explained: "I can't even guarantee what will happen tomorrow, let alone such a long-term thing? It's better not to say those vows that you can't even promise. ”

"Then what do you mean, do you want to give up?" Charlotte looked into Xiao Peng's eyes, wanting to see Xiao Peng's true thoughts.

Xiao Peng sneered: "Aristocrat, what age is this Nima? I really think that I am superior, Charlotte, do you believe it." In half a year at most, there will be a group of nobles lining up to beg me! I also want to see whether in the eyes of these nobles, status is important, or life is important!"

Charlotte was shocked: "What do you want to do? You're not going to go on a killing spree, are you?"

Xiao Peng laughed: "Charlotte, why are you so cute? I'm still going on a killing spree? That's the Hollywood plot! I have another way." ”
