The butler stood in front of the villa and waited, opening the door for them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Mr. Shao, Mrs. Shao, and this lovely little boy, welcome the three of you to the manor, Mr. Paul is invited." The butler greeted them with a smile and led them to the villa.

The interior of the villa is pure European, with an intricate décor with an antique atmosphere, and candles on the walls that are lit at night, with a retro feel similar to the city of Williamsburg. But in some details, it shows a modern atmosphere. It was quiet in the villa, and there weren't many servants, and the butler led them to a small hall.

As you approach the small hall, you can hear the sound of a skilled piano.

I don't know who is playing.

As the three of them walked forward, the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer.

It's just that you can hear it clearly, the piano is not very melodious, and there are even several wrong notes.

The butler knocked on the door and pushed it open, and the sound of music was even clearer the moment the door opened.

In the huge hall, John Paul, who was over sixty years old, sat in a rocking chair, wearing a dark gray beret, holding a pipe in one hand and listening to the piano music quietly with his eyes closed. Although someone arrived, he did not open his eyes, but his brow was furrowed, as if he was not enjoying it, but enduring a kind of torture!

The player on the side was a woman over 50 years old.

The woman had a plump figure, a beautiful face, and deep facial features, and although she was old, she could feel the subtle folds on her face. She had curly brown hair, wore a lake blue dress, sat on the piano chair, her fingers played on the piano keyboard, but the note was played without intonation, but she played very seriously and devotedly.

The butler made a gesture of please, and the three of them sat down on the sofa next to them to rest.

The piano continued to sound, and Chengru looked at the woman who played the piano with great curiosity.

As soon as the song was played, the brown-haired woman's fingers flicked nimbly down to the last key, and then it all came to a standstill!

After this, the brown-haired woman sat in the piano chair, and she was intoxicated by her own playing.

It was a moment later that she came back to her senses, and was about to speak, when she noticed three guests from the East appearing in the hall. The woman smiled and turned her head, nodding at the three of them, but in Chinese, but not too standard, "Hi, Shao, hello." ”

"Hello, Mrs. Susan, oh, it's Susan." Shao Mingyang also smiled and spoke.

Blue Starry Night now knows the identity of this brown-haired woman, she is the wife of John Paul!

"You must be Shao's wife, hello, I'm Susan." Susan was welcoming, and apparently she didn't care about the age gap.

Blue Star Night replied, "Hello, Susan, my name is Blue Star Night. ”

"Night, this cute little guy is your son?" Susan's eyes fell on Chengru, and she was instantly attracted by this little guy.

A beautiful oriental boy with a pair of dark and bright eyes, which is really pleasing.

"Chengcheng, come and say hello." Blue Star Night called.

Chengru looked at the brown-haired woman, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "Hello, Grandma Susan! ”

The little guy is measured by his own standards, so he thinks that Susan in front of him should be able to be called a grandmother.

Susan looked depressed, "Cute little boy, please don't call me grandma, can you just call me Susan?" ”

Chengru said, "Mom said no, you can't be rude." ”

"No, no, yes, just call me Susan!" Susan stubbornly corrected.

Chengru is clever and does not reject it, and is very obedient, "Hello Susan! ”

“goodboy！” Susan was delighted, and immediately complimented him and gave him a thumbs up.

Although Chengru couldn't understand English, he knew what it meant to give a thumbs up, and he gestured back to her!

John, who was on the side, frowned more and more, "Susan, you are fifty years old, you don't let children call you grandma, do you still want to be a sister!" ”

Susan ignored him and asked Chengru, "Cheng, do you think I played the piano well?" ”

Chengru gave a thumbs up again, "Very good!" ”

Susan was very proud, and looked at Shao Mingyang and Lan Xingye again and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Shao Mingyang smiled, "Susan, your performance must have been the true biography of Mr. Paul." ”

Lan Xingye raised his eyebrows now, is this a compliment or sarcasm? In fact, even she, a layman, can hear that her playing skills are not good.

"My wife, do you say yes?" Shao Mingyang still had to pull her into the water.

Lan Xingye could only smile and nod, "...... It's the destruction of the way. ”

And John on the side was a little unbearable, he couldn't agree with his wife, and he was able to believe other people's nonsense!

"You're so discerning!" Susan nodded happily, then turned to look at John and shouted, "John, what do you think of my play?" ”

John Paul's brow was still furrowed, but he commanded, "Susan, go and see if there are any birds in the trees outside the window." ”

"Birds?" The brown-haired woman who was called Susan looked surprised, but she immediately got up in obedience and walked to the window. Susan opened the window to look at it, then turned her head and said, "John, there are no birds in the trees, I don't know where they flew, but why are you letting me watch them?" I'm obviously asking how you played. ”

John smiled, "Your piano made the birds fly away, how did you say you played?" ”

Susan was visibly stunned, unable to react for a while.

And Lan Xingye, who was sitting on the sofa resting on the side, was stunned, this Mr. Paul was really poisonous.

Such a poisonous tongue is on par with a certain Mr. Shao!

Susan didn't react after a while, she was so angry that her shoulders were shaking, "John, your words are so excessive, you must apologize to me, immediately, now, immediately apologize to me!" ”

"Let the apology go to hell!" John replied directly.

Susan is so angry that she can't do it, a fifty-year-old woman can still be so angry that her face is red, you can imagine John's poisonous tongue skills.

"I play the piano for you, don't you know that praise is a sign of respect for the performer?" Susan shouted again.

John's old face had a smile of disdain, "My dear Mrs. Susan, you have to let me come and listen to you play the piano, thirty minutes ago, I was working on papers in my study, you tore up all my papers, and threw them into the fireplace, I had to come here and sit and listen to you play the piano, you played for thirty minutes, could you spare my ears and let them calm down?" ”

Susan pointed at John's face, and his fingers were trembling, and he shook out what she had just done in front of so many people!

"Obviously you promised me that you would listen to me play the piano for thirty minutes every day!" Susan asked.

"Why do you remember what I said thirty years ago? Can't you have selective amnesia? John retorted.

Susan was speechless by him, "If you don't apologize to me, then we will divorce!" ”

"Miss Susan, please go talk to my lawyer!" John said directly, and Susan suddenly lost her voice in anger!

Shao Mingyang looked at this scene with a smile, and Lan Xingye felt incredible, this John and his wife Susan, the way they get along is so different!

At this time, Chengru suddenly got up, waved his little hand and said, "Don't argue, don't argue, he doesn't like to hear you play the piano, I'll listen to you play the piano!" ”

Susan seemed to have found a savior, and immediately hugged Chengru and kissed him, "Cheng, cute boy, I invite you to be a guest here, it doesn't matter how many days!" ”

Shao Mingyang smiled, turned his head sideways and whispered in Lan Xingye's ear, "Our son has done it." ”

Even Blue Starry Night was surprised, originally thinking about how to stay in the manor, who would have expected that the little guy would solve this huge trouble all at once. Lan Xingye also raised his eyebrows, couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but agree, "Our son is really amazing." ”

The two of them were sighing, and there John spoke again, "Susan, don't mess around, Mr. Shao is just coming over to sit and sit, and he will leave in a while!" ”

"No, no, Cheng, are you traveling with your parents?" Susan asked in broken Chinese.

Chengru replied, "Yes, Susan, we're here to play." ”

"Would you like to stay here for a few days?" Susan asked again.

"Can I pick cherries, then?" The little one had not forgotten the cherry tree he had just seen, and thought to himself.

When Susan heard that she was going to pick cherries, she was even more happy, "Great, does the city like cherry picking too?" There is no one to pick it with me, so the city will accompany me! ”

“yes！” Chengru nodded again and again.

The little one's English level is limited to "hello", "no", "yes" similar to this simple vocabulary.

"Then I'll take you to your room, put your luggage down, and then we'll go cherry picking, shall we?" Susan said again, and the little one continued to nod obediently.

John, who was left to dry, was obviously speechless, and he frowned and shouted in English, "Do I allow them to stay!" ”

Susan wasn't afraid of him at all, and snorted coldly, "Why do you want permission!" ”

"This is my manor!" John pointed to the floor.

Susan smiled, "Really? My dear John, didn't you give me this manor for my birthday three years ago? On the ownership of the land, my name is written on it! ”

John was choked now, and it was true, he bought the manor, but it was Susan in terms of ownership!

Susan added, "You'd better apologize to me, or I'll ask the butler to ask you out!" ”

John glared, Susan smiled happily, turned her head to the blue starry night and shouted, "Night, come on, I'll take you to the guest room." ”

"Okay, thank you Susan." Blue Starry Night rose up and followed Susan with Chengru.

Shao Mingyang didn't move, he was still sitting on the sofa. He took out a cigarette and smoked one slowly, and the other party still felt that the scene was very interesting, and said softly, "Mr. Robin, excuse me." ”

John glanced at him, "Mr. Shao, I didn't promise you to cooperate with you. ”

At this moment, Shao Mingyang said, "Of course, but I don't think it's completely impossible, at least I have collected the deeds of twelve pieces of land." ”

John remembers clearly that at that time, Shao Mingyang followed them for four days, and on the fourth day, John finally couldn't bear it anymore, because Susan had already regarded him as a member of the trip, and wanted to organize a team of three to continue traveling together.

In the hotel, John approached him to the conference room for a conversation.

Shao Mingyang made it clear that he hoped to reach a cooperation with him. John admired him a little, and the young man was not small, and he was so direct as soon as he opened his mouth. It's just that John never cooperates with people, so of course he refuses.

Shao Mingyang was not annoyed, but said: Since this is the case, then I think the next trip will be very interesting. Susan said she wanted to travel the world.

Travel the world! This annoyed John, but it was clearly something she would do. In fact, John doesn't care if he wants to go around the world twice, but if there are people around him who follow him all the way, it will be uncomfortable. After a stalemate, John made it clear that he would get thirteen plots of land in Cape Charles, Virginia.

After this condition, Shao Mingyang left with a smile, and told him that he would come to visit him again.

And now, Shao Mingyang has really gotten twelve of them.

John smirked as he sipped his pipe, "I think you should know that I was talking about thirteen plots of land at the beginning!" ”

"Mr. Robin, isn't this thirteenth piece in your hand?" Shao Mingyang exhaled smoke, his eyes condensed, "As long as you are willing to cooperate, then our basic conditions have been reached." ”

John smiled, "Haha, young man, if I want to cooperate, do you think no one will?" ”

"Of course, there are many people who are willing, but I think Susan may also want to go to S City with us, maybe stay for a year or two, and she will be happy." Shao Mingyang said with a smile.

John's eyes immediately tightened, and he hummed, "Young man, this childish warning has no effect on me at all!" ”

"I'm just kidding, but maybe Susan will." Shao Mingyang is very laid-back.

John was holding a pipe and spit out a puff of smoke rings, he squinted his eyes slightly, stared at Shao Mingyang for a while, and said quietly, "I have something to do, so you can take care of yourself!" ”

John got up and left, while Shao Mingyang was led by the butler and headed in the direction where Susan had taken away the blue starry night.

Leaving the small hall, past the vestibule, up the spiral staircase, directly up the fifth floor.

In the corridor on the fifth floor, the housekeeper took Shao Mingyang to a room, "Mr. Shao, this is the room." ”

"Thank you." Shao Mingyang thanked him warmly, and then turned the door and entered.

Inside the room, Lan Xingye was packing his luggage, taking out the clothes in the box, sorting them out, and putting some daily necessities out and putting them in the bathroom. And Susan was standing in front of the window with Chengru, waiting for Blue Star to take care of things at night, and planned to go down to pick cherries together. (To be continued.) )
