Xiao Ruo returned to her manor, what happened today made her a little tired, and she rested early, and it was not an overnight thing to find out who was behind the scenes, she just strengthened the vigilance of the manor.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ruo had just eaten breakfast when she heard the maid announce that Alice was visiting. Xiao Ruo, who had expected it, asked the maid to bring Alice into the living room, tidied up and walked towards the living room.

Alice sat on the sofa in the living room with some trepidation, and she didn't have the heart to drink the coffee on the coffee table. Ever since she heard Carl's report yesterday that Xiao Ruo had been attacked, she had felt a little uneasy in her heart, and what she had been worried about for so long had happened.

Alice is now struggling with how to explain to Xiao Ruo, with her understanding of Xiao Ruo, she must have been classified as untrustworthy now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Alice decided to tell the truth, if Xiao is not an ordinary person, if there is a trace of concealment, the harmonious situation she has finally created will never be restored.

"Rachel, dear, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday, really."

As soon as Xiao Ruo appeared, she was greeted by a hug from Alice. And her sincere apology also made Xiao Ruo a little confused.

When Alice finished expressing her apologies and let herself go, Xiao Ruo didn't say anything, just walked to the sofa and sat down, motioned for Alice to sit down, then looked at her, raised her eyebrows, and spit out a word: "Explain."

Xiao Ruo's performance made Alice breathe a sigh of relief, and she still gave her a chance to explain.

"I'm sorry, rachel. I should have told you earlier, but, you know, you always refuse my further approach, and I fear you will refuse. Really, you have to believe that I have absolutely no ill will towards you. Alice looked at Xiao Ruo's clear eyes, a little incoherent.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruo's brows furrowed: "Alice, I said that I will trust you if I treat you as a friend, and if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, but I don't like to hide it."

"Okay, rachel, you know who I am, right?" Alice looked at Xiao Ruo firmly.

Xiao Ruo nodded: "Yes, the current head of the Langton family."

"Then you should also know the status of the Langton family in Europe, right?" Alice still doesn't understand how Xiao Ruo knows her identity.

"I know a little bit."

Alice sighed and said, "Rachel, I remember telling you about me and that man, right?" Seeing Xiao Ruo nodding, she continued: "I have never been married, you know, so now the Langton family has no heir."

Xiao Ruo put on an expression that had nothing to do with me, and motioned for Alice to continue.

"Although I don't have any children, I can't let the Langton family be severed in this generation, so I've been looking for a suitable heir."

"So what?"

"I've been looking for so many years, and I've got a few candidates, but you've appeared!" Alice looked at Xiao Ruo excitedly.

"Huh?" Xiao Ruo sensed that something was wrong.

"Rachel, don't you know how good you are? The first time I saw you, I was amazed by your strength. Later, the way you look reminded me of the past, when I became interested in you, and the more I got to know you, the more I believed that you were the heir I was looking for. Alice looked at Xiao Ruo with burning eyes.

Completely contrary to Xiao Ruo's expectations, she opened her mouth slightly, and her voice stammered a little: "But, but, I'm from Huaxia!"

"It doesn't matter!" Alice waved her hand vigorously, "You are the person I fancie, and I am the head of the Langton family, of course I can decide my heir." And you also have the ability to 'sense the truth', which is the hallmark of the Langton family, as long as you spread this, no one will object."

"Stop!" Xiao Ruo reacted, "This is not a question we want to talk about, I'm listening to your explanation of yesterday's events!"

Alice sighed and said, "These two things are related. Yesterday Carl told me that you were attacked, and I knew about it. I'm not 100% sure, but you're only familiar with me in the UK, so ......"

Xiao Ruo also said directly: "Yesterday's attacker was not weak, the weapons and training were very good, I shouldn't have provoked such a person when I came to the UK, it turns out that the problem really comes from you."

Alice smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry." If I had made it clear to you in advance, you would have been wary. As I said, I've actually identified a couple of candidates, and I think they should have done yesterday's thing. Rachel, I'm really sorry and I sincerely apologize to you. ”

Alice's sincerity made Xiao Ruo speechless for a while. I heard that it was really because of her that I was inexplicably involved in such a big trouble, Xiao Ruo was really a little angry.

Seeing that Xiao Ruo didn't speak, Alice asked cautiously, "Rachel, are you angry?"

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Ruo glanced at Alice and didn't answer, only asked.

"Well, I don't think they'll believe you if I tell them now that I'm not going to choose you as heir. Why don't you really make me my heir?" Alice looked at Xiao Ruo expectantly.

"I'll be serious, don't laugh." Xiao Ruo glanced at Alice angrily.

Alice was a little disappointed, she was not mistaken, Xiao Ruo really disagreed.

"Rachel, what I just said is true. Even if I say now that you're not, they won't believe it. And, I have something to say, do you want to hear it?"

Xiao Ruo looked at Alice in surprise: "Say it, Alice."

"First of all, I apologize to you for letting Carl follow you, and besides, yesterday I went back and looked into the guy you saw yesterday." Seeing Xiao Ruo's sinking face, Alice hurriedly added, "Rachel, you have to believe that I have absolutely no malicious intent. However, you must know that if I can find that person through this in this way, then others can do the same. ”

Xiao Ruo's expression also became serious, reflecting on whether his actions were really so obvious.

"That person is Angus, the president of Future Investments. Feren. In the survey results I obtained, Future Investment has made a lot of gains in the financial market during this period, which has attracted a lot of attention. And the chairman of Future Investment has someone else, if I'm not mistaken, it should be you, right?" Alice used the question, but looked at Xiao Ruo with certainty.

Xiao Ruo's heart was confused, she didn't expect to be noticed so soon.

"Don't worry, I've had people cover it up." Alice saw Xiao Ruo's uneasiness and comforted, "Rachel, you are already very good, but you are still young after all, and I don't blame you for these things." ”

Xiao Ruo glanced at Alice gratefully, she was really inexperienced.

"Rachel, I know you have many secrets, and you have your thoughts, and I won't ask them. I say this just to tell you that, no matter what, you have to take care to protect yourself. Alice looked at Xiao Ruo lovingly, this girl really made her feel distressed.

Xiao Ruo leaned on the sofa a little weakly, should she say that she was too naïve? She really can't compare with these elves, and the plan has almost just begun, and it has already been noticed, and since then...... She was deflated.

Alice looked at Xiao Ruo with concern, and said a little unbearably: "Although it may not sound good, I have to say, rachel, you do have some deficiencies in dealing with the world." For those of us, the future investment funds are very large, the source, it is easy to find, Angus's whereabouts are not a problem, and the things involved ...... subsequently, I guess that is not what you want to see, right?"

Xiao Ruo was shocked, and his face turned pale. He sat there without any words.

Alice, although distressed, continued: "Rachel, you should have a big goal, right? Even if no one notices this time, what about the future? Your ability to change your appearance is indeed peculiar and not easily noticed, but do you really wish that you would never be able to show yourself as you really are?"

"I, I don't know." Xiao Ruo's eyes were blank, and he was not lightly hit.

Alice stood up, walked to Xiao Ruo's side and sat down, took her into her arms, and said softly: "Child, I know you don't want to get involved in right and wrong, in fact, no one likes it." But with your ability, unless you never use it, with your brilliance, sooner or later all sorts of things will happen. It is difficult for you to want to live a stable life with your children in the future. So, I hope you'll think about being the heir to the Langton family. I know that with your abilities you may be able to reach a higher level, and you may have a lot of trouble as my heir, but at least you have a solid backing. ”

Blocking Xiao Ruo's words, Alice shook her head: "You don't need to answer me now, of course, even if you don't agree, I will do my best to teach you some knowledge you lack in the future." Think about it, I'll go first, no need to send it. ”

Watching Alice go out, Xiao Ruo leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes, and fell into deep thought.
