Chapter XXVII
After lunch, Alice, Xiao Ruo and Vincent's family sat on a chair and drank tea, and Alice said, "Rachel, are you free in the afternoon?"
Xiao Ruo looked up suspiciously and asked, "You know I've been fine, Alice."
Alice smiled and said, "Then I'll say it, there are a few guests at the banquet who didn't introduce you yesterday, I kept them, since you have time in the afternoon, let's meet."
Xiao Ruo nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange it."
"Also, Roy and Victoria didn't leave today, so let's dine together in the evening, right?" Alice continued.
Hearing this, Xiao Ruo's brows furrowed, to be honest, she really didn't want to deal with the Habsburg and white swan-like Victoria who gave her strong oppression. Yesterday's dinner, even after the separation, Roy's burning gaze and Victoria's hostile gaze had been glued to her, making her feel like a man.
"Okay." Although there was some hesitation, Xiao Ruo still agreed. Just have a meal, and it shouldn't be anything.
Alice has actually discovered Roy's interest in Xiao Ruo, but Roy is the heir of the Habsburg generation, even if the Langton family has a transcendent status in Europe, there is still a big gap for the Habsburg behemoth. Although Alice didn't want Xiao Ruo to be wronged, she didn't want her to offend the Habsburgs because of this.
"Don't worry, Roy is a reasonable child." Alice stroked Xiao Ruo's long hair and said suggestively.
As we all know, Roy. The Habsburgs were a natural king, he always did things above board, relying on upright scheming, although there were many women around him, but they were all voluntary, and he never forced anyone.
"Humph!" Eva couldn't help it since Alice talked about letting Xiao Ruo get to know some people in the afternoon, and she was about to move in her seat, but she was stared at by Mr. Vincent's golden cold eyes, and she didn't dare to speak, and now when she heard about Roy, she finally couldn't hold it back. That guy, at a glance, knew that he didn't have any good ideas, and there were a lot of women around him, and now he even came to provoke rachel.
“eva!” Mrs. Vinson didn't wait for her husband to get angry, and first glared at Eva with disgust, I really don't know where this girl got such a big fire on Roy.
Seeing that Mrs. Vincent was obviously angry, Eva pursed her lips and turned her head to look at Xiao Ruo, her lips moved, and Xiao Ruo could clearly read from it: "Looking for you at night."
Xiao Ruo smiled and nodded, and Eva saw that she understood what she meant, retracted her gaze, and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
"Alice, you've had a lot of things going on lately, so we'll be back in the afternoon. Rachel is a good boy, so I'll be in touch with Eva more in the future. Lady Vincent ignored the covert communication between the two juniors and said to Alice, the latter sentence addressed to Xiao Ruo.
Eva had just discussed the evening's activities with Xiao Ruo, but when she heard such bad news, she immediately disagreed: "Grandmother! Didn't you say last night that we were going to stay here a little longer? Why are you ready to go back so quickly?"
"Eva, you also heard it just now, Rachel has a lot of things to deal with, she has just taken over the family affairs, and when she gets used to it, there will be time, and when you come to her again, your grandfather and I will definitely not object." Madame Vinson persuaded.
Mr. Vincent's tone was even colder: "Rachel is a good boy who is sensible and responsible, so naturally he can't know how to play every day like you."
"But, but ......" Eva was in a hurry, and said with an idea, "I'm going to study with Rachel, well, haven't you always asked me to learn to handle affairs?" I agreed, but I'm here with Rachel. ”
Mrs. Vincent and Mr. Vincent looked at each other, and both smiled a little, and it was difficult for the girl to propose to do something serious on her own, and it seemed that the two children were on good terms, so that they could rest assured.
Alice was also quite relieved on the side, Eva's personality is an eccentricity that all major families understand, and many people can't stand her, but they didn't expect her to pay so much attention to Xiao Ruo.
Xiao Ruo looked at Eva, who was almost on fire in a hurry, and her heart was very warm, this girl really cared about her. What about herself?
Friends also have to talk about fate, in fact, the two have only met twice in total, and they don't talk much, but that tacit understanding is natural. She will unconsciously tolerate Eva's banter and jokes, and Eva will unconsciously relax and coquettish when she is around.
Seeing her grandfather and grandmother answer, Eva was even more anxious, and almost wrote a letter of guarantee and a gambling curse to swear.
"Okay." Mr. Vincent's face was serious, but the golden eyes behind the glasses flashed with a smile of cunning and conspiracy.
"Hooray!" Eva cheered, jumped up and ran over to hug Xiao Ruo, Xiao Ruo was also full of smiles, with Eva here, it must not be boring.
Several adults sat on the side, looking at the two happy children, and their hearts were also full of joy.
In the afternoon, Langton Castle small meeting room.
While the guests were sitting or standing, pondering or whispering, Alice walked in with Xiao Ruo from the door, and several of them stood up in unison, bowed and saluted, "Mrs. Langton, Langton Xiu."
Alice smiled and nodded, and said, "Sit down and talk, don't be inhibited, it's not the first time we've met."
After Alice and Xiao Ruo sat down, several people also found a place to sit down.
After everyone was seated, Alice spoke first, "Rachel you have all met, she is my heir, that's for sure." Alice looked around majestically and continued: "You are all good boys, and I have always had great expectations for you, hoping that you can get along well with Rachel in the future and help each other."
There were six people in the reception room besides Alice and Xiao Ruo, two of whom Xiao Ruo had met, John, the disciple of Guardian Joe, and Darren, the companion of the American nouveau riche. Rhine. The rest of Xiao Ruo hadn't seen it, it was Davy who was talking about Xiao Ruo and Darren at the banquet.
When she came, Alice had already told Xiao Ruo that these six people were the candidates she had chosen to be the heir, and the other five were all children of the Langton family.
If Xiao believes in Alice's vision, these people must have their own strengths. Alice also said that if she wants to take over the family in the future, it is best for these people to be subdued, and they will be good helpers.
"Kids, rachel isn't familiar with you yet, so let's introduce yourself." Alice walked towards the Six.
John, who spoke first, was still dressed in a strong suit today, and he looked even more heroic compared to the rest of the people, he stood up and said to Xiao Ruoshi: "Xiu has already seen it, John. Hopkins, I've seen the show. ”
Xiao Ruo smiled and nodded.
Next up was the slightly older David: "Under David. Hawthorne, I've seen the Langton show. ”
As several people stood up one by one, Xiao Ruo knew these young talents that Alice was optimistic about, Gary. Cruise, Jennifer. Cage, Linda. Gustav and Darren, who he already knew. Rhine.
"Rachel, they're all geniuses, and they've done a lot of work in all areas. David is only twenty years old, he has already obtained four doctorates from the Holy Light Academy, and the family affairs are also handled in an orderly manner, and the Hawthorne family is now in his care. Jennifer: They are all excellent children, so you have to learn a lot from them. Alice said to Xiao Ruo.
Xiao Ruo raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the few noble children who could be regarded as the pride of the sky who were inevitably proud, the corners of his mouth curled up a just right arc, and his tone seemed very modest: "What the head of the family said is true."
"Madame is too awarded, my so-called achievements are actually nothing, as for the degree, it is just a proof of knowledge, not anything. However, if the Langton Show is in need, he will definitely go all out in the future. David was humble at first, and then said.
Gary, who tied up his long hair and looked handsome and sunny today, also echoed: "That's it, if Langton shows any orders, I will definitely arrive immediately."
The rest of them should have been ordered.
"Thank you." Xiao Ruo got up and bowed, "I'm new to family affairs and I don't have enough experience, if there is anything that troubles you in the future, please don't mind."
Several people all said that it was okay, and Xiao Ruo also began to chat with the children of these families, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Alice only sat on the side, watching Xiao Ruo gradually expand her communication with ease, and was relieved in her heart, this girl has grown up quickly, and it won't be long before she can rest assured.
