Chapter Twenty-Four: A Cowardly Surname

Althea is a long-standing family name that is said to have originated from the Habsburg dynasty of Spain, where the heroic Duke of Wellington, who followed in London, defeated Napoleon.

It's a pity that the current Orthea family only inherits the blood of their ancestors, but they do not inherit the bravery of their ancestors. During World War II, the German Nazis occupied all of Greece, and the Orthea family, as Greek nobles, took the initiative to secretly surrender to Hitler and forced the Greek royal family into exile. Therefore, in the eyes of the Tang family, Althea, who is extremely noble, is just a cowardly surname in Duanmuci's heart.

It's just that as a guest, Duanmuci didn't say anything, just sat there quietly, drinking the red wine in the glass, the 95-year-old Lafite, the taste was very good.

In fact, Duanmu Ci prefers to drink tea.

After a while, Tang Jingchang came in with a young Westerner, with long golden slender curls like a rock youth, a sculptural three-dimensional face, and blue eyes, all of which reflected the noble blood from Europe.

It's just that under this handsome appearance, there is a heart that flows with sewage.

The scum of European high society - Nordin Orthea.

Tang Jingchang proudly invited this distinguished guest to speak on stage, and before that, he stood in front of the microphone and introduced to all the distinguished guests present, "This is the heir of Baron Orseja of Greece, let us applaud and welcome!" ”

The guests applauded.

Nordin gracefully stepped onto the stage, bowed slightly and began to speak, but most of the guests in the audience were confused and dazed, and they couldn't understand what the gringo was saying.

Duanmuci, the only one in the audience who could understand Greek, secretly sneered, the noble kid who was speaking on the stage was notoriously unlearned, as a descendant of the nobility, and didn't speak Latin, he couldn't even speak English and French, what else could he expect him to say?

After Nordin Althea finished speaking, the entourage immediately came to the stage to begin the translation, "Your Excellency the Heir of the Baron, I am honored to have been kindly invited by a friend from the East to attend his father's birthday banquet a few days ago. On behalf of the Althea family, I would like to extend my sincerest respect and best wishes to this esteemed old man. ”

This time I understood, the guests applauded, and Tang Rui and his son stood aside with a smile on their faces, feeling honored.

Tang Jingchang led Nordin Althea into the seat, and the seat was of course "Column A Seat", which was the best seat.

Nordin sat down with a big grin, looked up and saw Duanmu Ci, and was taken aback, "Ci!" Why are you here? This is said in Greek, and only Duanmuci can understand it.

It seems that this Greek knows Duanmuci and has a good relationship......

Duanmu Ci replied in Greek, "I remember that at Prince Harry's yacht banquet three years ago, Your Excellency seemed to owe me a Hanoverian horse. ”

Three years ago, Duanmu Ci was invited to the yacht party of Prince Harry of the United Kingdom, and met Nording on the yacht, stimulated by champagne, the two made a bet on a Hanoverian horse made in Germany, and the result was, of course, Nordin lost.

Horse racing is an aristocratic sport, and the price of the most precious and pure ** can almost buy a limited edition luxury sports car, where can Nordin, who is in decline, afford such a large sum of money? So he rightfully fell on his debts. Originally, this matter had passed, but I didn't expect to meet the creditor here again today.

No matter how shameless Nordin is, he will feel embarrassed when facing a creditor, not to mention that this creditor is the one he absolutely can't afford to mess with......

Nordin forced a smile and said, "Of course, I swear by the surname of Venerable Althea, I will never repay my debts, and I will protect my honor as a nobleman with my life." ”

The words are nice, but in fact, there is still no talk of repaying debts...... Duanmu Ci pouted secretly.

Here the two of them chattered in Greek for a long time, and although the rest of them couldn't understand it, their ability to observe words and colors was very strong. Through the comparison of the faces of the two, they easily came to the conclusion that Duanmu Ci had the upper hand, and the so-called heir to the baron was ruthlessly suppressed.

This shocked everyone present! How can they not be shocked that the European aristocracy is basically an unattainable figure in their eyes, but now they are suppressed by a yellow race under their noses? They became more and more curious about Duanmuci's identity.

A man who knows the European aristocracy and can easily subdue it can never be an ordinary person! This nonsense-like conclusion is in the minds of all present.

And Tang Yijin's feelings were different, he originally thought that he was high enough to look up to the Duanmu family, but he didn't expect that this family seemed to be even more powerful than his biggest imagination!

I originally thought that a Chinese family would have a limited influence in the Western world, and it would not have a lot of money, although it was mysterious, it might not have much strength, but now it seems that my judgment is wrong. Perhaps, Westerners know more about this mysterious family than themselves.

And Tang Rui's father and son felt differently, they thought that it was a matter of great face that they had found a Western nobleman, and the scenery was enough to overwhelm Tang Tingshu's side, but they didn't expect this to happen! If it goes on like this, let alone earning face, it's good not to lose face!

As for the feelings of Tang Ke's father and son, there is no need to say much, except that great joy is great joy. Originally, I watched the appearance of this baron heir with infinite scenery, and I was worried about what kind of big boss it was, but I didn't expect it to be just a wild white rabbit that could be killed in seconds with two or three skills, and it didn't feel too easy......

As the host, Tang Yijin asked cautiously, "I don't know what the two distinguished guests are talking about?" ”

Duanmu Ci smiled and said, "That's right, Your Excellency Nordin said that he would give me a purebred Hanover horse as a testimony of our friendship. ”

After listening to the translation, Nordin also reacted, nodding with a sad face.

Everyone, "......" I believe you are a big-headed ghost!

We don't understand what you're saying, but we'll at least look at your faces. Looking at the gringo's face with a dead father, you know that nothing good is good...... No, it doesn't seem like a bad thing that my father can inherit the title when he dies...... Heck, that's not the point! The point is that IQ is despised, okay?!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Jingchang hurriedly changed the topic and said, "A horse is not a big deal, let's not mention this first, let's not mention this, let's talk about something interesting." Then he gestured with his eyes to Duanmu Ci to open the net, with a hint of pleading, Duanmu Ci nodded knowingly.

Next, without Duanmuci's interruption, Nordin began to fully display his aristocratic demeanor, and with the help of a translator, he performed very well.

“…… In fact, the Count of Rennes was not like this before, in 1979, the Rennes family was even on the Forbes rich list, and it is to blame for the financial turmoil that swept the world to this point, so that the Count of Rennes lost his estate and winery, and he couldn't even afford to raise a mistress, and I heard that his illegitimate son was receiving government assistance. ”

For the rest of his life, Notting was telling anecdotes about the European high society, and these things that were rarely heard by ordinary people were coming out of Notting's mouth in a steady stream at the moment, so that everyone here listened to them with relish, and listened to the jokes of these nobles as if they had squeezed into that circle.

They come from an ordinary background and enjoy this illusion.

Duanmu Ci was different, he was thinking about something else. In fact, the relationship between the Orthea family and the Rennes family is not good, and the origin of this feud even dates back to the era of the Holy Roman Empire.

It is precisely because of this that Nordin dares to make jokes about the Earl of Rennes so unscrupulously, otherwise Nordin would not have done such a serious violation of aristocratic etiquette, even if he is the scum of the nobility.

In fact, Count Rennes and Duanmu Ci also have a fate, which is also a little related to the Tang family.

The Bordeaux winery acquired by the Duanmu family in France last year is actually the property sold by the Count of Rennes, and the Duanmu family does not have an advantage in bidding, and the reason why the Duanmu family can beat the Tang family is because the Duanmu family is also an American wealthy family with a history of inheritance, but the Tang family has not even washed the mud on their trousers.

It's not a tsundere problem.

The winery is a symbol of nobility, a nobleman with good taste would rather sell his castle than sell his winery, although the Count of Rennes was forced to do so in desperation, but he also wanted to retain a little bit of aristocratic dignity at the end, so he gave the winery to the Duanmu family, who was also not thin, rather than the Tang family, which offered a higher price.

Speaking of which, he is really a nobleman with feelings.

Duanmu Ci looked down at his watch, the time was almost up.

Tang Rui's father and son have guests from afar to celebrate their birthday, didn't he?

Hehe......

……

PS: I don't know if my father is watching...... Don't get me wrong......

That's it......
