Grantham handed the recipe back to the waiter, and explained to the side that the beef only needs to be medium-rare, and when the person who had been standing next to him walked away, Yunxi touched the tableware in his hand, and finally showed the first surprised expression of the day, "Do you know Christina's mother?" Can you actually hear the word "famous" in his mouth? Could it be that she is too lonely and unheard? When Qiao Lao was first investigated, it was indeed only found that Christina was his illegitimate daughter, and as for who her mother was, there were different opinions, and there was no conclusive conclusion.

Grantham frowned, feeling that today's topic involved old things from too many years ago, like going through a childhood photo album after many years, and for a while, something was pressed on his chest and it was hard to say. After a pause of a few seconds, he seemed to be thinking about how to speak.

Yunxi was not in a hurry, since he was willing to speak, he would naturally not be able to tell the whole story.

"I should have told you that Shui Mulian and I are half-brothers and sisters, and back then, my mother had been living very poorly for a while before she met my father." It's a long time ago, and it's a story that I heard from others many years ago, and when he talks about this past, he is almost a little strange and out of the way.

"My grandfather was a banker from Shanghai, and when his family moved to Shanghai, he died of typhoid fever, and my family plummeted, and my mother had to go out to earn a living. Because he was reluctant to accept women at work, he became a private teacher with the help of a trustee. "It's 'sir', but it's just going to those Hong Kong businesses to help take care of the children, which is actually no different from a nanny. From a young lady to a half-servant, no matter what, although it solves the problem of survival, it is also very disdainful of the group of close friends on weekdays.

At that time, although the order in Hong Kong was better than that of the mainland, it was not much better after all. There are always some people who are interested and suspicious at the door, looking for opportunities to take advantage of them three times or twice.

"My mother knew a gentleman, over half a hundred years old, very kind, and there was only one daughter in the family, who was quite fond of him. The mother taught the girl Chinese studies and painting, and after getting along for a long time, they gradually became more and more friendly. On another outing, someone deliberately stepped forward to flirt and frightened her mother's student, who was caught by the police and taken to prison by her father. I had a lot of dreams at night, so I helped my mother contact the church school and recommended her to be an art teacher. Later, under the protection of the church, my mother gradually settled down. "Calculate the time, so many years ago, neither the mainland nor Hong Kong could be considered stable, the turbulent situation always affected the whole body, and a woman who could support herself was completely lucky and proud. What's more, his mother, as the most knowledgeable of the group of famous ladies who emigrated to Hong Kong from Shanghai, has always attracted much attention. fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, met nobles again, and turned evil into good fortune. Her mother used to say that she would be grateful to two people for the rest of her life, because of them, her fate was completely rewritten.

After teaching in Hong Kong for three years, he met his father, who later moved to Europe and took his husband's surname, so fewer people knew about it.

Yunxi heard half of it, and from the time he showed that complicated expression, he knew that the student who helped his mother enter the church was probably Christina's mother in his mouth.

It's just that how did her mother become a "famous" figure?

Before Yunxi could ask, Grantham had already continued to pick up the topic: "After I was born, my mother's position was much more stable. She once returned to Hong Kong and wanted to pick up the father and daughter to go to Europe for a small reunion, but she didn't expect to receive the news that the gentleman was sunk because of business problems. In order to make a living, the student became the most famous courtesan in Hong Kong at the age of 16. ”

Life is really a farce. Ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river. The father and daughter who once stood on a high place and bowed their heads to help a foreign girl ended up like this. Yunxi didn't know how else to react except for Tsuki.

"Later, my mother took her home and nurtured her. Later, he was favored by fashion magazines, took magazine covers, and gradually became a 'supermodel'. I thought that everything would get better, but I didn't think that once a British official stationed in Hong Kong was drunk at a ball at my house, and publicly announced her past between Hong Kong tycoons. The next day, she was gone. At that time, he was only seven years old, and his memory was very vague, at most he remembered that his mother's student had a very special face. Obviously, the hair color is black, but the facial features are three-dimensional and deep, which is extremely eye-catching. When she grew up, she realized that she was a mixed-race child.

Yunxi sighed, ill-fated. I'm afraid that after this lady returned to China, there was no way out, so she followed Qiao Lao and became a woman who couldn't see the light.

"Ten years ago, I saw an obituary in the newspaper, and that was the last time I heard from her." The waiter served the dishes, and Grantham ended the heavy conversation.

No wonder Christina had that look at the airport just now. I'm afraid that her mother should have taken a photo of the Grantham family with her when she left, although she had not seen Grantham in person, she was very familiar with his appearance.

Her father refused to officially recognize her identity, her mother died early, and she was surrounded by many people who bullied the soft and feared the hard, and saw the wind and steered the rudder, and just now she was worried about Christina's IQ, but at this moment, Yunxi felt that this girl was really not easy.

At hand, Christina handed her the hotel key card before leaving, where Sister-in-law Li was temporarily placed. She put the key card in her bag, and calmly picked up the knife and fork to eat: "Since they are acquaintances, her mother helped your mother back then, do you want to help her?" ”

Grantham was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How is it possible, I haven't even met her in person." If she was really pure-hearted, she might not be able to help out, but seeing the show she had just made in front of Yunxi, even the last trace of sorrow in her heart disappeared.

Yunxi glanced at him in some surprise: "I always thought you were an honest person. ”

Grantham smiled bitterly, this man hit a rake, and people had nothing to say. He finally understood that the eldest prince Zhuo Feng and Qiao Zimo at the airport in the morning walked so neatly, not indifferent and ruthless at all, but accurate, this girl only has the possibility of trapping others, and Christina is completely not enough in front of her.

"Since you don't plan to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, then I'm not welcome." Tearing a small piece of bread, Yunxi ate with a very elegant attitude, and gave him a vaccination with a smile on his face.

Grantham felt that what he had just said was completely in vain, so he had to whisper: "I don't have much friendship with her, but my mother feels a little guilty about her, and always feels that it was her failure to protect her students back then that made her life unhappy. Of course, you can do whatever you want to fix her, but for my sake, don't hurt her life, so I can have an explanation. Thinking of his mother, he couldn't help but sigh. Originally, it was out of morality to help Leng Yunxi, but as a result, he didn't even go to the relevant institutions to help the Leng family clear his suspicion, but because of the grievances of 800 years ago, he owed Leng Yunxi a great affection. Grantham said that once he met Leng Yunxi, luck was never on his side.

Yunxi glanced at him, looked at his pretended "complaining" expression, and sneered: "Come on, get it." She wasn't prepared to kill Christina, but it wasn't her style to leave the bait out of the door. She is also ready to use this girl who boasts of excellent acting skills to play a big game with Mr. Zhang!

At this point, Grantham also dined quietly. Half an hour later, when he walked out of the hotel, Yunxi had to say goodbye first and leave alone.

Grantham didn't even have to turn her mind to know where she wanted to go. "You've endured it for three months, you can't even hold back such a day's work, right? How many people are waiting for you to show up in Beijing, you don't have enough hands, and you are still in a hurry to deliver them to the door? ”

He knows more or less about her sister-in-law Li. Christina is able to place people in hotels because of how many people's eyes are on them. Instead of letting this sister-in-law Li, who has a deep relationship with Leng Yunxi, scurry around like a headless fly, it is better to use her as a bait, as long as Leng Yunxi goes to her, they can naturally find Leng Yunxi as soon as possible.

"Do you think we can still hide from the eyes of people who care from the moment we appear at the airport?" Her face suddenly pale, and she looked at Grantham with an expression that almost seemed to laugh at him for being naïve.

She knows too well what the background of the group of people who are facing the Leng family is. Christina may have met her by chance, but the others knew her whereabouts by now at the latest. Dodging has never been her style, now that she is back, there are some people and things, she will never let go!

Grantham couldn't believe that Leng Yunxi was gone in front of him like this.

Knowing that there were people around Sister-in-law Li, she didn't hesitate to do so? Is it because she is by no means as indifferent to the current situation of the Leng family as she seems, or does she have other plans?

He reached out for his phone, thought about it, and decided to contact someone, just in case.

The identity of the eldest prince is awe-inspiring, if Zhuo Feng comes forward, no matter who Yunxi meets at Sister-in-law Li's place today, it will be foolproof, but the ghost makes the god send, but the number in his hand is dialed to another.

"Hello?" The man's indifferent and detached voice came from the other side, as if he felt noble and distant forever.

Grantham was stunned suddenly, and the person's amazing and brilliant face flashed in his mind, and after a long time, he reluctantly spoke: "Qiao Zimo, Leng Yunxi went to the Four Seasons Hotel......
