Father gasped for air. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Roy couldn't believe his ears.

What did she hear? Father begged Vincent to marry him?

Listening to Vincent's mother's tone, their family was very reluctant to agree?

It's the other way around!

Roy kept looking at his father, then at Vincent's mother and son, and after several turns, his eyes finally fell on Vincent's mother and son.

She didn't know why her father had to marry her, and he had to marry Vincent. But she was sure that Vincent's mother and son had to marry her.

The reason is simple. They need money, big sums of money.

In the interstellar age, countless planets were developed for people to live in, providing people with a continuous stream of various resources. For the aristocracy, who had a small number of large resources in their hands, pleasure became their only purpose of existence. As a result, there is a "retro" trend in the upper echelons of society, which shows their status by competing for luxury and extravagance. To put it simply, what kind of aristocrat you are, you have to change as many sets of clothes as you want to eat every day, otherwise others will laugh at you.

The Cook family is a branch of the Yang family, and in the more than 2,000-year history of the Federation, there have also been shining figures. It's just that with the passage of time, they, like many families, have gradually fallen lonely, both spiritually and materially. But their titles are still there, and in order to maintain a "status-fitting" life, their lives are becoming more and more stretched.

Take, for example, what they're wearing. Although there were no foreign guests today, signing an engagement agreement was a very important part of the wedding procedure, so all four people present dressed up. Vincent and Roy's father wore a suit and leather shoes, and Vincent's mother wore a violet pearlescent dress with a square neckline trimmed with hand-woven lace, and strands of jewels cascading down the skirt from the shoulders to the cuffs, creating a curtain-like drape.

But if you look closely, you can see that the luxurious gemstones are old. The pearl no longer has a rounded luster, and the emerald seems to have lost its aura. Violet silk was supposed to be very expensive, but Vincent's mother's body felt a little frivolous when she looked at it, obviously because it had been stored for too long and washed too many times, and the color had changed slightly but not negligible.

And......

Roy's eyes narrowed suddenly.

This skirt has been changed!

She said she always felt that this dress was awkward. The waist of the skirt has been increased by more than one palm, and the original beautiful curves have been destroyed.

The clothes were still tight on Vincent's body.

You must know that in the eyes of aristocratic women, a set of clothes, no matter how gorgeous and extravagant, can only be worn once on a formal occasion. If others knew that Vincent's mother had changed her clothes and put them on again, she would not have to mix in the aristocratic circle for the rest of her life. In the past 100 years, those noble ladies who have nothing to do all day long will still mention her at tea parties, as a joke after tea and dinner.

Aside from her son, Vincent's mother cared most about her face, and she didn't expect to do such a thing. Do you think her father doesn't need her to pay too much attention, or is the Cook family's economy really on the verge of collapse?

Roy recalled. Well, that's right. At this time, the Cook family even had to borrow money to eat.

And it just so happens that Roy may lack everything, just not money.

In order to unite with her father, Roy's mother broke off with the family and almost left the house, and many people waited for her to be poor. As a result, her mother, with her amazing business talent, rose to the top of the richest people in the federation in just a few years.

Roy's father didn't know how to do business, and after her mother's death, she handed over all the property to her mother's connections, went to farm her own land, and then planted a well-known flower farm throughout the Federation. The edible flowers produced in it are an important ingredient in the finest pastries, and the price is comparable to gold.

In addition, the identity of his father's star thief is not a joke. When he was on the road, he dared to call himself second, and no one dared to call him first. Later, his father met his mother, and he bought the legal identity for himself and his brothers, but it is said that he still has a large amount of wealth hidden in a place where no one knows.

For the Vincent family, she and her father were the most suitable fat sheep. For her, Vincent's mother and son are bound to win.

Otherwise, their family will starve to death.

But my father should also know very well that Vincent's family is for her money, why is he determined to marry her?

Could it be that my father didn't recognize the true face of the Vincent family enough?

"Look at what! As a lady, don't you know what you should be cautious about! ”

Vincent's mother was annoyed, and while thinking that it was natural to move her elbows to block the waist of the modified skirt, she yelled at Roy's father, "Look, this is your Luo family's tutor!" The dowry remained in Roy's hands, and sooner or later she would have to ruin it. No, Roy's dowry must go to my son's name! ”

Roy was dumbfounded.

The dowry is all in Vincent's name?

And then add one more of her, all packed up and given to Vincent?

This, this is not sold but also helped to count the money. It's spending money to sell yourself!

Vincent: Why is his mother so reasonable? Why wasn't she afraid that her father would not sign the agreement in anger?

Father, you ...... What exactly are you afraid of?

"Marriage is the formation of a new family by each party's property, and my daughter's dowry is your son's. You don't have to worry. The father said in a muffled voice, and he could hear him gritting his teeth.

However, there really was no outbreak.

"Don't worry?"

Vincent's mother screamed, followed by a series of mocking laughs. "Luo Xiu, I know you don't like to hear it. But I have to say that with your daughter's character and family education, the family property will definitely not be saved. I'm doing this for her good, too. When your daughter loses her dowry, she will have to rely on my son to support her. Otherwise......"

Vincent's mother leaned back comfortably in her chair, fanning her fan for a moment. "This marriage...... Enough to choke. ”

The green tendons that my father had just lost jumped violently in the corners of his forehead, and his fists clenched and loosened, and then clenched again.

That's when Vincent spoke.

"Mr. Rosho, I assure you that the gold mines of Codo and Droz are only nominally owned by me. Roy is my wife, and my property is hers. After all......" Vincent smiled softly, "Roy would have been too late to get married." ”

It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded above his father's head, causing him to slump back into his chair.

Vincent asked tentatively, "Then what we proposed earlier was to put all the property that has been determined as Roy's dowry in my name?" ”

The father sat there in a daze, for a long time, hanging his head weakly.

Vincent and his mother looked at each other with satisfaction, and the latter struck while the iron was hot: "In addition to this, add a Derot gold mine." ”

Father's head nodded indiscriminately, clearly meaning that whatever you say is what you say.

Vincent's mother was overjoyed. "Then add her mother's dowry planet. The spar mine on there is quite valuable, and it can be mined for hundreds of ......."

Before she could finish speaking, her father suddenly raised his head, and whispered with red eyes: "This can't be done!" ”

Vincent's mother was so frightened that she almost threw the fan away.

Vincent pressed his mother's hand, comforted her, and then said to Roy's father, "I'm sorry, but we were presumptuous. In that case, let's put the mecha engine manufacturing plant under my name. ”

It's very, very straightforward. It's as if Roy's father had to compensate him for not giving him the most lucrative property in his wife's name, which is also a testimony of the weal and woe of the two of them.

The father gritted his teeth, his cheeks twitching: "Okay." ”

Vincent's mother smiled like a flower and beckoned her servant to hand over the engagement agreement. The parchment paper used to write the engagement agreement alone is worth millions of star coins.

Vincent's mother dipped her quill in the quill pen, brushed and added a few strips to the blank space reserved under the agreement, added the property she had just negotiated, carefully checked it to ensure that the two copies were consistent, and then gracefully handed it to her father: "Please." ”

Father lifted the dip pen. The ink gathered in front of the long-hovering nib and finally dripped off, staining the protocol.

He suddenly came to his senses, sighed, took the sand and soaked up the ink, and then straightened the agreement on the table, ready to sign.

"Father!"

Roy strode over: "I don't want to marry him!" ”
