Chapter 801: A Family
As mentioned before, Li Yunxin knew that Phoebe was about to live as a British hereditary nobleman, and because of this, she was very willing to have a good relationship with Phoebe, not only because she had worked in Titan for a while, but also because she had experienced one thing since she was a child, that is, the identity of their family, although they are respected to a certain extent in South Korea, it is difficult to protect themselves at critical moments. On the other hand, because www.biquge.info of her experience since childhood, she always felt that the state of European royal families and nobles was the most desirable for her, so after learning that Phoebe would inherit the British title, she was particularly willing to be considered a friend of Phoebe by the outside world.
Taeyeon and the others are under-informed about this, and only Sunny knows about Phoebe's succession to the throne - in fact, Phoebe is reluctant to make it public now, because she doesn't want Girls' Generation to be saddled with a label in the future that will only succeed because of her nobility. In other words, Phoebe made a compromise on idealism because of Sunny's choice of the path of girlhood's development.
However, Phoebe also admitted that when she chose to inherit the title before, the development route of Girls' Generation was from the route of a boutique middle-class family girl, so the image setting of Girls' Generation at that time was generally a youthful and cute image, and the prom queen album that was almost released in June last year was almost a gamble, because at that time, the audience of their image was still far less than the audience of ordinary girls on the WG side.
From a certain point of view, Phoebe feels that last year's lights-out incident suddenly broke the continuity of Girls' Generation's previous image, and gave them a label like South Korea, which is suffering, so when it comes back in 09, Girls' Generation can break the previous image continuity and choose other routes, and there is no need to worry about the receptivity of hardcore fans during the transformation, in other words, as long as Girls' Generation can come out again, hardcore fans are already very satisfied, They don't think about whether their image has changed, and after accepting their new sexy image, die-hard fans can't react even more - the agency of Saman Company really doesn't rely on luck and connections to occupy the top spot in the industry.
However, because of this, Phoebe's previous plan must be significantly modified, just like the idea of inheriting the title, which is somewhat contradictory to the current development of Girls' Generation, but Phoebe also knows that for Titan and the new circle of the diplomatic system proposed by her, they all have high hopes for her inheritance of the title, the reason is that as I said before, don't look at Europe seems to be very enlightened, in fact, Europeans are more nostalgic for the hierarchy, while Americans, although they pay lip service to Britain, but the upper class is still the same as before, proud to have ties to the British upper class, ashamed to be in the company of Jews, proud to play in the countryside, and ashamed to play in the city......
And Li Yunxin, as a half-American - which means that her tutor was found from the East Coast since she was a child - she naturally has a lot of East Coast upper-class way of thinking, so she is really looking forward to Phoebe inheriting the title, in fact, she is even more looking forward to Phoebe saying that she will be invited to the first ball at Raven Castle - oh, it is the castle of the Lorek family that Phoebe will inherit, not the manor where the old woman Lorek lives.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that since the inheritance tax in the United Kingdom is 40 percent, especially when the nobles inherit the title, no one will pay less to avoid losing face, so Phoebe paid 4 million pounds in inheritance tax, and called more than 1.2 million pounds in various renovation license fees or deposits, so that the manor and castle can be repaired in advance. And because of the obstruction of the Welsh local council, saying that it wants to protect the monuments, and has to give the Welsh parliament an extra 600,000 pounds, in fact, Phoebe has invested nearly 200 million dollars in the United Kingdom, she will not want this title, after all, even if it is not needed now, just put it there first, and it will not be in the way, as long as the news is not leaked out, after all, British law stipulates that if a nobleman is unwilling, unless there is a sign of treason, the journalist has no right to disclose any of his news - someone may ask, Wasn't Diana chased by reporters before? It's very simple, after the divorce, she is not a nobleman, just a famous commoner, and journalists all over the world can chase civilians as they like.
Therefore, Phoebe knows that she has the expectations of many people, although she doesn't care much about the life and death of these people, but the problem is that if she doesn't deal with their expectations, it is very likely that she will be boycotted when she needs these people to help her girlhood, so when she has a dog, she has to take them out to walk the dog often, just make them happy.
And Lee Yoon-hin is one of them, so with Taeyeon's facilitation, Phoebe was dragged downstairs by Lee Yoon-xin, and the two chatted for nearly a night on the big bed in Barbara's guest room, until the sky was faintly bright outside, and the two of them - well, in fact, only Lee Yoon-hin - gradually fell asleep.
At ten o'clock, Li Yunxin opened her eyes in a daze, saw that Phoebe was not in the house, scratched her head, put on a silk nightgown she found from Barbara's bedroom last night, and came out with a sigh.
After the results came out, she realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, to be precise, there was a very oppressive feeling, just like when she was at home...... tiptoed to the corner of the stairs, and looked down to see that his father Lee Kun-hee was sitting alone on the sofa downstairs, with an impatient and angry expression, but he thought that Phoebe's identity was still quite shocking, so his father could only endure it.
Li Yunxin stuck out her tongue, wondering whether to go down, she knew that Phoebe's temperament should not obey her father like others, but it would be different if she went down by herself...... By the way, where did Phoebe go?
Li Yunxin lay on the ground silently, carefully observing the movement in the living room, and then she faintly heard a sound from the kitchen, which made her a little strange - could it be that Phoebe was cooking for her father?!?!
Then she heard the sound of the door opening from the study on the second floor, she turned her head and saw that it was Phoebe, Li Yunxin, who was lying on the ground on all fours, suddenly smiled awkwardly, and then immediately made a gesture to silence Phoebe, so as not to expose herself - she actually knew that her father came to sleep with Phoebe because she was about to get married.
As a result, after Li Yunxin signaled, Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and turned back to the study, but this time the door was not closed, because Mino was poking out of the door of the study and watching Li Yunxin lying on the ground curiously.
Thinking of Mino's size, Li Yunxin immediately stood up, she knew that some male dogs were very fond of their bodies when they saw people on all fours, especially the big ones, and whether it was when they were on Titan or when they talked to Phoebe yesterday, they were warned not to lie down in front of the dog, not to mention that being at eye level with the dog would even stimulate the dog's desire to attack.
As a result, Li Yunxin's movements were a little louder, and she made a lot of noise, so she was discovered by Li Jianxi downstairs, Li Jianxi saw that it was his daughter, and immediately became angry, stood up and pointed to the corner of the stairs and nodded, but did not shout loudly, and whispered: "Come down!" ”
"......" Li Yunxin had to go downstairs unhappily, but she saw it, Phoebe came out again and was ready to eavesdrop, if she was in trouble, Phoebe would definitely save herself.
After going downstairs, Li Yunxin walked up to her father with a pout, and said, "Hehe, Dad, you're here too~"
"Why did you call me here too!?" Lee Kun-hee was angry, and sat on the sofa and hammered his leg, but he seemed to know that although this place was in South Korea, it was different from other places in South Korea, so he didn't dare to express his emotions arbitrarily, but just pointed to Lee Yunxin's nightgown and said, "Okay, even the clothes are ready!" ”
"I borrowed it!"
"I don't care if you borrow it or not, what did you say before!? Didn't you say you want to be obedient and get married?! Well, it was almost all over last night, and as soon as you heard her...... Miss Phoebe was beaten, and you ran over without caring for anything, so why are you still sleeping here?!? How do you want me to explain to LG!? Li Jianxi was so angry that his face was flushed, originally, the marriage of the youngest daughter was an important part of the family and LG to strengthen ties and get back together, the youngest daughter who had a Lala scandal with Phoebe before, now she actually ran to Phoebe and lived here, and she was still wearing ill-fitting pajamas, which looked like Phoebe gave her, so how not to make Li Jianxi angry?
Li Yunxin pouted: "We didn't do anything, we just haven't seen each other for a long time, and we just chatted...... Also, I picked this dress myself, and it has nothing to do with Phoebe, okay! ”
"If you say it's okay, it's okay!? Do you know that the news that you are here has caused the stock prices of both of us to fluctuate!? ”
"......" Li Yunxin suddenly became depressed, although she just got up and didn't read any news, but she knew that it was really possible - because of the news of her wedding as soon as the news was announced, the stock prices of Samsung and LG all rose, and many people thought that the wedding of Samsung and LG juniors represented a signal of South Korea's economic recovery, and even many people praised her very much, even if she had an affair before, and at the same time won the Dakar Lala championship with her. Also seen as someone who can be accepted to a certain extent, after all, Phoebe is wise to "let go", isn't she? It is also for this reason that Li Yunxin dared to ask Phoebe to sing with confidence, everyone thinks that Quan should be her last thought before the wedding - in fact, Phoebe's identity is still known to many people, coupled with Phoebe's super good looks and academic ability, relatively speaking, everyone does not think that Li Yunxin chose the wrong person, at most they feel that in a traditional society like South Korea, high-level cheerleaders are not accepted, so their scandal is neither ridiculed nor supported, There are even some people who feel a little regretful......
Li Jianxi saw that the little girl was stopped talking by himself, and his face was a little better, in fact, he actually came to express his position, not really to scold, his face was not good before, it was completely because after he came, Phoebe didn't care about him at all, which made him very hurt, but he understood Phoebe's identity, especially the fact that Abrun who mastered Unclud was Phoebe's brother, really made Samsung Group very thoughtful, and he didn't dare to do anything to Phoebe, and for this reason, After discovering that Phoebe didn't show even a trace of respect just because he was Lee Kun-hee, he was really depressed.
On top of that, he heard that Abrun and Barbara's wedding invited a lot of American upper-class people, but Samsung didn't think about it at all, and no one could even find out where they got engaged...... South Korea's market is too small, and Samsung needs the world market, but if it can't have a good relationship with the upper echelons of a big country like the United States, at least if it knows the news from the top, then the path that Samsung can choose will become narrower and narrower.
Therefore, Li Jianxi even had some faint expectations, hoping that his daughter would really have something to do with Phoebe, but he knew that his daughter would not lie in this regard, saying that if she has nothing to do with Phoebe, there is really nothing, alas......
Li Jianxi looked at his little daughter in a silk nightgown, shook his head, sighed and said: "Anyway, you made everyone very passive this time, I helped you wear the news outside, and your mother also greeted the people of the Central Daily, and the news circle will start to say in the afternoon that Phoebe has a delayed stress psychological disorder due to being attacked, and you, as a teammate who participated in the Dakar Rally with her, are very worried about her health problems, so I came to see her." ”
“…… Oh~" Li Yunxin was a little pleased, and also felt very surprised, her father didn't come to scold her?
When Lee Kun-hee saw his daughter's appearance, he suddenly felt that he was very miserable, especially after doing so, Phoebe's family probably wouldn't notice that he was here to help - well, at least it would be good to stabilize the investment market expectations of Samsung and LG.
Li Yunxin asked a little as if carrying it at this time: "What if a reporter doesn't react and continues to talk nonsense?" ”
"Then let him only farm in the countryside for the rest of his life, and in South Korea, people who have no eyesight are only worthy of working hard in the countryside." Lee Kun-hee said angrily.
"Hehe~" Li Yunxin smiled smugly for some reason, which made Li Jianxi very helpless, but she was also faintly relieved, at least she could make fun of her little girl again, which was more important than anything else.
Well, in fact, Li Yunxin laughed because she knew that Phoebe was eavesdropping in the corner upstairs, and after her father did that, it was equivalent to helping Phoebe eliminate the scandal, and Li Yunxin felt that this should make Phoebe happy, so she was happy......
But in fact, when Phoebe heard that Lee Kun-hee asked her wife to deliver the news to JoongAng Daily, she began to wonder if this matter would collide with her own plan, yes, in Phoebe's opinion, Lee Kun-hee is more like he is here to cause trouble, even if he is the largest shareholder of Samsung, it is also here to cause trouble.
Phoebe pondered for a while, leaned over and patted Mino, who was sitting at her feet, looking up at her, holding its chin with one hand, making a few gestures with the other, and then patting Mino's neck, so Mino ran downstairs with a snap, and the sound of its footsteps attracted both Li Yunxin and Li Kunxi father and daughter to look over.
Mino didn't stop after going downstairs, and continued to trot in the direction of the kitchen, and then sat at the kitchen door and sold cute.
Its movements aroused Li Yunxin's curiosity, and she asked her father, "Who is in the kitchen?" ”
"Who else could it be...... Your mother was afraid that I would come and scold you, so she followed, and it turned out to be ......" Li Jianxi shook his head helplessly: "As a result, that Phoebe said that there was something, and let the two of us feel free, and then went upstairs, we waited for a while, and there was no saliva, so your mother had to go to the kitchen and get a pot of tea for me......"
"Hahahaha......"
Li Jianxi looked at his little daughter laughing and laughing because she heard that she and Hong Luoxi were eating deflated here and laughed, and said in her heart: Are you still my daughter!?
Li Yunxin also knew that it was wrong for her to do this, so she quickly covered her stomach and waved her hand to show that she didn't mean it, and it took a long time to say, "Then what is my mother doing in the kitchen again?" ”
Li Jianxi said angrily: "What else can you do, she thinks you are almost up soon, and said that the food that Phoebe cooked in the morning is cold, so she has to redo it for you......"
"Oh......" Li Yunxin didn't smile this time, nodded, glanced at the kitchen, and said, "Actually, no, the food made by Phoebe is delicious......"
"Tell your mom to go." Li Jianxi felt that he was so wronged today, and the most important thing is that he was not wronged because of his daughter, but because he really couldn't afford to provoke Phoebe's little girl, at least, after saying a few words to Phoebe when he came, Lee Kunxi remembered that when his youngest daughter recommended Phoebe to him, he didn't take it very seriously, but this time he really saw it with his own eyes and found out that he was really wrong, so where he sulked just now, half of the reason was that he felt that he should listen to his daughter's words at the beginning, Try to woo Phoebe's.
Li Yunxin had already stood up at this time, walked to the kitchen, and saw that it was Hong Luoxi in the kitchen making some of her favorite side dishes, which made her a little moved, patted Mino's head, walked into the kitchen, and said, "Mom...... You don't have to go through the hassle ......."
"Woke up? I think it's almost time for you to wake up. ”
"Well~"
"Wait, it's going to be right away, that's it."
"Oh~ By the way, what did you do just now, Phoebe's dog usually doesn't come to the kitchen." Li Yunxin asked curiously.
"I didn't do anything." Only then did Hong Luoxi find that there was one of the two very majestic Dobermans he saw when he first entered the door at the door of the kitchen.
Li Yunxin turned her head and said to Mino: "What are you doing here, didn't Phoebe say that she wouldn't let you come to the kitchen?" ”
"Ahhh......h
"Mom~ It said that the kitchen suddenly smelled very fragrant, and I couldn't help but come over to see what it was~" Li Yunxin said.
Hong Luoxi knew that her daughter would become a tease as soon as she was in a good mood, so she glanced at her and said, "En! You translate it for me and ask it when you're going home. ”
"Cut~" Li Yunxin looked left and right and didn't answer, and then her eyes lit up: "This is made by Phoebe, right?" Mom, do you taste it? ”
"It's cold, let's put it first, and people will throw it away later." Hong Luoxi said disapprehantly, in their house, the food can only be thrown away when it is cold, after all, eating cold is not good for the stomach.
Li Yunxin naturally knew her mother's habits, and she didn't stupidly say that it was disrespectful to Phoebe or anything, after all, Phoebe also treated some meals that were left for more than six hours, but in general, her mother threw them more, after all, Phoebe generally doesn't throw them away within six hours.
So Li Yunxin nodded first, then picked up the chopsticks and took a bite and sent them to her mother's mouth: "Mom, seriously, you taste it, don't underestimate Phoebe, in fact, our family has seen her before, but at that time she was a chef in Tagulos." ”
"Alas...... When you say that, I feel as if I've seen her somewhere...... Alas...... "Hong Luoxi was really surprised this time, Tagulos is mainly a French restaurant that entertains foreigners with status, their family has not been there, but because it is a member recommendation system implemented there, although she has also obtained a membership card because of her family's status, but because that circle is too political, so they don't go to their house many times, but she still knows the status of Tagulos, but what she never expected is that Phoebe actually worked as a chef there.
Li Yunxin nodded and said, "Although she didn't go to treat cooking as a career, but the person who can be the chef in Tagulos, there is really no choice for cooking." ”
At this time, Hong Luoxi put aside the idea that eating cold was not good for his health, bit the thing on his daughter's chopsticks into his mouth, tasted the product, nodded and said, "Well, it's really good." To be honest, she hadn't grown this tall when I saw her before...... At the time, I thought it was strange how the chef of the French restaurant was so young, but she didn't say anything about the food...... Give me another bite of that. ”
"Hey~Na,Ah~"
What Li Yunxin didn't know was that after she entered the kitchen, Dhaka also ran down, and it came to Lee Kun-hee with a piece of paper that Phoebe had just hurriedly written, and looked up and handed it to Lee Kun-hee.
Li Jianxi, who received the letter from the dog's mouth, naturally felt very surprised, and also understood that it was written to him by Phoebe, but what made him depressed was that Phoebe was too rude, but when he read the content of the paper, he stood up in shock and turned his head to look upstairs......
