Winnie is living in George's residence in Shanghai, busy with all kinds of guests. I have to say that she is indeed well versed in all the ways of the social arena, and knows how to be sought after by men without boredoming women. Wanlan and Wu Xinyi went to a dinner party at George's invitation, and the smiling Winnie was like a different person compared to the cold and reserved countess in Zhenjiang before.

"I thought she was cold by nature, but now I know that she is determined not to have anything to do with our family. Wanlan sighed with some emotion and said to Wu Xin, "It seems that this marriage will not be successful." ”

Wu Xinyi shook his head: "I don't think so, what if this lady just has a bad relationship with her mother's family?

Wanlan looked at her suspiciously, and Wu Xinyi explained with a smile: "She came to help George propose marriage, and the family affairs have already been blown up, why don't you go back, you have to delay in Shanghai? ”

She looked at Winnie in the crowd as she spoke, and smiled again: "Don't worry, let's wait first, we don't have to worry about getting married, if George retreats like this, it won't be interesting to get married." ”

Wanlan felt that what she said made sense, and became curious about Winnie's intention to stop here for a lavish banquet. She and Wu Xinyi stood on the periphery of the crowd from afar and chatted, asking her if she planned to buy real estate in Shanghai.

George pushed through the crowd and walked over: "Aha, so you're here. ”

Wu Xinyi was not familiar with him at all, and he didn't say a few words, and his familiar attitude was obviously to Wanlan.

"I can't believe you're not interested in this occasion," George looked at Wanlan, "and a few of them are your husband's big clients." ”

"My husband is not here, so why do I need to entertain those big clients for him. Wanlan shook the juice in the cup, "Your house is really good, Huai'an also wants to buy real estate in Shanghai, I don't know if you have any good places to recommend?"

"Oh, don't tease me like that, I'm not here to tell you this," George smiled, "You've got to help me, Lan." ”

"I really want to help you, but you can't be embarrassed for me," Wanlan looked at him and sighed softly, "Now you might as well tell me the truth, what's going on in your family?"

George frowned for a long time before he spoke, as if he had experienced a fierce battle of ideas: "My father's current wife...... It's my mother's sister, but she doesn't have a good relationship with us, you know, children are always naturally hostile to the person who replaces their mother, not to mention ......"

He stopped, but aroused the curiosity of Wanlan and Wu Xinyi, they asked, but George shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to let you know about these things." ”

Wu Xinyi said: "Since you think this is an important factor that affects your parents to come to officiate for you, then why can't we be known?"

George couldn't help but shake his head and said, "No, ladies, don't say it so high-soundingly, you are just curious about these parents' short strange things." ”

The plan in their hearts was exposed in public, Wanlan and Wu Xinyi both felt a little embarrassed, and took the initiative to divert the topic: "When does your sister plan to go back?"

"She's going to stay here for another twenty-two days, and then she'll take the ship back home," George explained, adding, "and I hope Mrs. Xie will give me another chance." ”

"When you think of your next attention, it's best to consult with me beforehand. Wanlan glanced at him, "Is twenty-two days an auspicious day for the zodiac?"

"No," George laughed again, "she just wants to see how my business is doing here, and her husband has plans to go into business." You know, the nobility of the British Empire today is not having a good time, after all, they only have one title left. ”

Wu Xinyi repeated the words he had just spit out: "They?"

"Yes, they, I'm not one of the nobles, I don't even have a title, I can't have it," George smiled even more, "but I have a business, which is a little better than them." ”

Wanlan looked at him suspiciously: "The business you are talking about doesn't mean the medicine made by the joint venture with Huai'an, right?"

"Oh my God, how can you have such a terrible idea?" George laughed, "I have lived in China for so many years, if I don't have my own source of income, do you have to reach out and ask my family for money? Don't worry, ma'am, your sister won't go hungry if she marries me, my business is in the United States and South Africa, but for her, I'm trying to put down roots here." ”

Wanlan had never heard him talk about these things, and when she heard them at the moment, she couldn't help but be surprised, and George guessed what she was thinking just by looking at her expression, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "You don't think that I have really relied on my family for so many years, right?"

Wanlan controlled her expression: "That's not true, but ...... How did you end up being my tutor in the first place?"

"Oh, I don't be a tutor," he smiled slyly, "just happened to know Miss Anne, and happened to know that she was giving a lesson to a beautiful Miss Oriental." ”

Wanlan let out a long "oh": "Then is she really in a hurry to return to China?"

George nodded, "It's true, but she's only been back for two months before she's back." ”

Wu Xinyi couldn't interject these old things, and he didn't find them interesting to listen to, and he was secretly bored, but he didn't dare to walk around. She stood beside Wanlan and looked around, and heard a low chuckle from someone in her ear.

Wu Xinyi was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to see that four steps away from him, there was a man in a suit leaning against the pillar drinking, and when he saw her turn around, he raised his glass in a friendly manner.

Wu Xinyi was a little shy, since she married into the Xie family, she has stayed at home at all over the years, and rarely deals with strangers, so she immediately hoped that the gentleman would quickly turn her eyes away, but he didn't, not only did not, but he even walked over.

She quickly turned her head and stood beside Wanlan, and the gentleman walked up to her and nodded to her with a smile on his face: "Hello, miss." ”

Wu Xinyi sighed: "Hello, sir, it's just that I'm already married, I'm afraid I can't afford your title." ”

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, ma'am," said the gentleman, bowing his head again, "but you look young, innocent, and beautiful, and you don't really look like a lady, and your husband is a blessing." ”

"You're exaggerating. Wu Xinyi showed an impatient expression, unwilling to talk to him more, and Wanlan also noticed the situation on her side and was ready to ask her to leave in a decent way.

But the gentleman had already opened his mouth first: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Yu Wang, the word Renya, and I am fortunate to serve Mr. Sun in Nanjing." ”

His identity aroused Wu Xinyi's interest, and her gaze turned back and turned around on him: "Disrespectful, it turned out to be Lord Yu." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," Yu Wang waved his hand again and again, but his pride was overflowing, "We are a democratic country, there is no such thing as an adult, just call the wife by name, ah, I haven't asked ...... for advice yet."

"My husband's surname is Xie. Wu Xinyi smiled slightly: "Mr. came to Shanghai this time, is it on business?"

"Mrs. Xie, disrespectful and disrespectful. Yu Wang put the wine glass in the tray that beat the waiter who walked by him, "Mrs. may not know that Mr. Sun is holding an intra-party tea party in Shanghai, and the two parliaments in Beijing are going to be re-elected. ”

Wu Xinyi was very face-saving, and nodded again and again while listening to him: "Then I don't know if this tea party has been held?"

Yu Wang said: "This meeting, it can't be completed in a day or two, it is already underway." What about me...... I also have some friendship with the countess, and I can't push it off, so I take the time to attend the dinner she organized. ”

"Oh," Wu Xinyi couldn't help laughing, "it turned out to be an old friend of the countess." As she spoke, she glanced at George with a smile and exchanged a helpless look with him.

But she also wanted to learn more about the Shanghai tea party through this "Lord Yu", which was also what Wanlan wanted, so they didn't go away, but continued to gossip with this "Lord Yu", and then looked at the right opportunity to ask two related questions.

"I heard that Mr. Liang has been appointed as a director of the Progressive Party in Beijing," Wu Xinyi asked with a smile, "The chairman of the board is still Vice President Mr. Li Yuanhong, I have heard rumors that this was instructed by President Yuan to fight for power with Mr. Sun, is this true or false?"

When she threw this question, Wan Lan was taken aback, because she had never heard of this rumor, and Wu Xinyi lived in the inner garden all the year round, and she could still get relevant news, but she didn't know where she heard it.

Yu Wang laughed again: "Mrs. also said, this is a rumor, President Yuan and our Mr. Sun have the same attitude, they are both for the country and the people, and establish a republic, how can there be such a thing as competing for power? Mrs. must not be deceived by the rumors in the market." ”

Wu Xinyi made a deeply approving expression while listening, nodded again and again, and echoed: "Yes, I also think what they said is ridiculous, regardless of whether Mr. Sun intends to win a majority of seats in the two houses? ”

Yu Wang's eyes were fixed on her face, and he replied with a smile: "Of course, these different political parties represent different citizens, and of course they want to take a majority of seats in the two houses and speak for the citizens represented." ”

Wu Xinyi nodded, and wanted to ask again, but Winnie had already come over, still calling Wanlan and George's names, and Wanlan was not worried about letting her be alone with this man who seemed to have bad intentions, and even pulled her sleeve, and apologized to Yu Wang: "I'm so sorry, we have to pass." ”

Yu Wang looked very surprised: "It turns out that the two wives are also old friends of the countess?"

"No," Wu Xinyi smiled, "I just know." ”
