696.Chapter 696 - A Man with a Cold Feeling
At night, Hauge Manor is shrouded in flickering decorative lights, the warm glow of which makes this ice-covered castle look like a fairy tale crystal palace.
The door is open, the traffic is busy, the bustling flow of people in and out, everywhere is full of laughter, the smiling faces are ordinary people, looking at the clothes and dressing, none of them are the dignitaries of the upper class, this is also the first time in hundreds of years that Hauge Manor is open to civilians, no, it should be a banquet......
But all the civilians of Hauge Manor can come to participate in this year's Christmas, here, you can eat and drink for free, as long as you can send a blessing to the owner of the manor, the hall is full of delicious cakes, mellow wine, all kinds of hot soups and hot dishes, and a dance floor for everyone to dance and have fun......
After half a month of recuperation, Xiao Mo's injuries have basically recovered, in fact, she has never been sick for so long, and this time she has suffered a lot of vitality. Fortunately, with Monica by her side to take care of her, she finally came back to life with a full health bar, but her body was still a little weak compared to before.
Looking at the lively Hauge Manor, which was like a nightclub, Xiao Mo couldn't help laughing. Monica really knows how to figure it out......
The door to the room was pushed open, and a maid appeared, holding the maid's costume in her hand.
"Miss Mo, you change into this set of clothes first, and then I will wear your clothes...... One moment you will be mixed into the hall on the first floor, and then you will be hidden in a large wine barrel, and then there will be an event, which is to give away wine by lottery, and more than 20 guests will win the prize. In addition to the prize money, each of these winners will receive a barrel of Louis Family Reserve wine, and you will be tucked away in one of them. You will leave the estate with your guests, and no one will notice you. ”
"Where's your young master?"
"It's inconvenient for the young master to show up, the places where he appears are the most eye-catching, although there are many guests tonight, but there are also a lot of people who come to keep an eye on him. Oh, by the way, the young master will also set off fireworks in a while. ”
"Well, okay, got it!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Mo's mouth, Monica really took a lot of trouble for her, and looked out of the window again, and there were also some suspicious people among the guests in the crowd. Xiao Mo is more experienced, and at a glance, you can see that those are well-trained agents. Although they were dressed in the same clothes as ordinary people, the expressions on their faces were cold and calm, they were not interested in food, they did not communicate with any of the guests, and their eyes showed contempt for them.
When the fireworks went off, Xiao Mo, who had changed into a maid's outfit, quietly left the room......
After blending into the kitchen, it easily enters the barrel, and then closes the lid tightly and nests silently inside.
Through the barrel, you can still hear the sound of crackling fireworks outside.
On a night like this, is the cold owl also outside?
This kind of perennial wooden barrel for wine, although it is air-dried, but also exudes a strong aroma of wine, Xiao Mo lay in it silently, smelling the strong aroma of wine, she actually fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, she suddenly woke up.
It was quiet outside, and I pricked up my ears to listen for a long time, but there was no sound at all, had I been taken home by the guests?
Xiao Mo cautiously pushed the lid of the wooden barrel open a small crack and looked out, huh, why are you still in the kitchen of Hauge Manor? Isn't the lottery activity started yet? I was about to close the lid and go back to sleep.
Monica's figure hurried in from the outside.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go, aren't you sending it out?" Xiao Mo came out of the barrel with a surprised face.
Monica hugged her, "They found out when they delivered the barrel just now, and every guest who got the barrel was watched. So the one that pretended to be yours wasn't carried out......"
"So what now?"
"Come with me, I've got a ...... ready"
Monica took a thick fur coat and wrapped little Mo around, then took her hand and walked out of the kitchen, and while it was night, they walked through the woods, and at the end of the woods parked a small car, and he pulled her into the car.
"The admiral who died is a very important political figure, even if his wife doesn't pursue you, the United States will not let you go. So, you don't have to look back, don't go to the United States. Find a place to stay quietly for a while and wait for the limelight to pass before coming out. ”
"Monica, didn't you take me to see the face of the cold owl?"
Monica was silent for a moment and shook her head slightly, "Don't go to him for now!"
"Why? I have to find him and ask ......."
"Well, I have to ask, but it will take a while, okay, I can't go on with you. If the gang doesn't find anything in the barrel, they'll definitely return, and you won't have a chance to escape. I'll find a way to get in touch with you. ”
"Monica......" Xiao Mo looked at him gratefully, and his heart tossed and turned for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable word.
"Don't thank me, Xiao Mo, it's still the same sentence, I respect your decision. But my heart for you will never change. Whenever you want to come back, you can always come to me, I am here for you. Monica's eyes stared at Mo affectionately.
After starting the car, I watched Monica's figure gradually disappear from the rearview mirror, and the bits and pieces of the past half a month naturally came to my heart......
Every day, he cooked all kinds of nutritious porridge for her and fed her by hand, and at night, many times when he woke up from a dream, he could see his warm eyes. People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, in fact, the resentment against him in her heart has long disappeared.
She suddenly wanted to turn the car around and drive back, and never leave.
But reason told her that she could not do this, and that she had left aside that she was an escaped prisoner, and that she had now assassinated the admiral, and that staying by Monica's side in this way would only cause him chaos and take him with her, and that she could not harm him like this.
In the future, when she has the ability to get rid of these troubles, she may come back to him, but can she get rid of such troubles?
It has been more than ten days since Old Man Long's funeral......
The PAC consortium has never announced the news of the death of Old Man Long and the split of the PAC consortium, and they seem to be very calm together. But the gloom on Long Yutian's face never dissipated.
I went to the company in the morning and didn't come back until very late......
Xia Yanxin was coaxing Long Ling'er to eat at the dining table, the little girl was already a year old, she didn't need to help anything, she could already walk staggeringly, and she had a few teeth, so she could eat some soft porridge.
But the personality is very naughty, she is energetic all day long, swaying left and right after eating a meal, very uncooperative, and when the spoon arrives in front of her, she quickly twists her head away, so that the nanny can't feed it, Xia Yanxin has to do it herself, the more the little girl grows up, the more her face looks like Xia Yanxin, and she gets rid of her small version.
Xia Yanxin was fostered in the Jin family, and she was meanness and insult since she was a child, so she loved her daughter more, as if this could make up for her lack of love when she was a child...... But one thing that worries Xia Yanxin is that she still doesn't know how to speak, except for occasionally muttering brother, hugging and the like, she can't say anything else. She taught her thousands of times to call Daddy, Mommy, the little guy just couldn't say it.
"Come on, baby, take another bite......" Xia Yanxin just stretched out the spoon. Lan Qian stood up and said respectfully, "Young Master is back! I'll prepare cutlery for you......
Xia Yanxin got up, and Long Yutian really walked in in a dusty manner, with a long gray coat and a silver-gray tie, the whole person was personable, a tall man like him was very stylish in a windbreaker......
However, there was still a haze on his handsome face, and he just nodded casually at Lan Xi's greeting, reached out and loosened his tie, walked up to Xia Yanxin, lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.
Long Ling'er shouted happily and smiled cutely at Long Yutian: "Brother...... Brother ......"
Long Yutian frowned, a little angry, "Why is this girl getting more and more stupid, she is more than a year old, can't she tell the difference between her father and her brother?"
Xia Yanxin was happy and coughed lightly, "Don't say that about my daughter's reads; You, you have to spend more time with her in the future. ”
Seeing Long Yutian's dark face, Long Ling'er was frightened, flattened her mouth, and was about to cry. Kimi hurriedly got down from the dining chair and reached out to hug Long Ling'er, "Sister is good, brother will take you out to play." ”
After Kimi went out with Long Ling'er in her arms, there were only two people left in the restaurant, Long Yutian and Xia Yanxin.
Facing the table full of dishes, Long Yutian didn't eat a bite, but held a wine glass and drank it one after another.
"Husband...... Did something happen?" Xia Yanxin reached out and snatched the wine glass in his hand and poured the wine into his mouth.
Long Yutian stared at her with dark eyes, "What are you doing robbing me of wine?"
"Is something wrong with the consortium?"
"What can you do to trust your husband's abilities?"
Xia Yanxin reached out and pinched his chin, lifted it up, and stared at his eyes, "Don't try to hide it from me, I can know what little Jiujiu you have in your heart." ”
Long Yutian chuckled, stroked her little head with his big hand, and rubbed it vigorously, rubbing her long and smooth hair into a mess.
"Didn't you say okay, after I take over the company, you will be your full-time wife. Don't worry about it!"
"That's right, I don't worry about it, I just want to share it with my husband...... Let's see, what are the tricky problems encountered in the company, anyway, I won't come forward for you, just help you think of a way. ”
Long Yutian stared at her for a long time, "It's not a big deal, it's just that there are a lot of sets of bastard things, the so-called consortium is half a person, and those pillar industry companies that can make a profit belong to him." All I was left with was a few debt-ridden ...... who were about to be eliminated."
Xia Yanxin was stunned, because he had already signed it at that time, it had legal effect, and now he needs to bear all the responsibility, sure enough, this Long Hawick is really ruthless, with a smiling face.
"How much debt? If it is not enough, I will transfer the funds of the Jinshi Group to make up for ......."
