Two days later, with Natasha and some other friends seeing them off, Chen Peng and Pan Luyao boarded a direct train to Paris, while Natalia and Raisa, mother and daughter, had already left Moscow and returned to Crimea the day before.

At the same time, two men were standing on the pier in the distance, watching him get on the train.

It was a strong man in a brown jacket and a hat and a sturdy old man in a black handmade suit.

"I've been staring at him for these days, and now I'm leaving, and you're not going to do anything?" The strong man took off his hat and revealed a big bald head, which was the 47 that Chen Peng had seen twice

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future." The old man stretched out his hand and spread it out, and a raven with a length of more than half a meter descended from the sky and pecked at the corn kernels in his hand.

"Whatever you want." 47 glanced at the old man lightly, turned around and left, "My task is complete, let's go." ”

"Well, say hello to Manstar for me."

47 paused, did not speak, and continued to stride away.

The old man smiled gently, stroked the head of the night crow in front of him, and then patted it, and the night crow suddenly flapped its wings and hovered in the air with a strange cry.

……

After about forty hours they arrived in Paris, then spent two days in the internationally famous fashion capital, bought a lot of gifts, boarded the Eurostar train to London, and in two hours they were able to set foot on the other side of the English Channel.

Walking out of St. Pancolas Station, where the essence of traditional architecture and modernity coexisted, Chen Peng glanced around, and then his eyes met a blonde beauty leaning against the side of the fiery sports car waving to him.

"Hi, Vanessa." Chen Peng dragged his suitcase over. The smile is very bright.

The blonde beauty greeted him with a smile and gave him a big hug.

"Leon, why did it take so long to come? We all thought you were lost there in Russia. ”

"Something happened on the way."

"Forget it, I won't ask you more." Vanessa smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "Welcome home."

"Go home!" Chen Peng repeated the word in his mouth, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and the smile was even stronger.

At this time, Vanessa noticed Pan Luyao who came over, looked at it, and then squinted at Chen Peng, smiling rather than smiling. "Who is this beautiful lady?"

"This is my girlfriend, Lu Yaopan." Chen Peng generously hugged Pan Luyao's waist and introduced Vanessa.

Originally, seeing Chen Peng and a beautiful foreign girl so intimate, Pan Luyao was a little surprised, but now Chen Peng made such a move. Immediately made her heart flutter and forget the previous unhappiness, her face was full of happy smiles, and she stretched out her hand very decently.

"Nice to meet you, Vanessa, you can call me Mirika."

Vanessa stretched out her hand and shook Pan Luyao's hand, the smile on her face was equally decent: "Me too, welcome to Great Britain, Mirika." Then she turned her head and looked at Chen Peng meaningfully. Let's go, Rachel and Agnes are still waiting for you at home. ”

"Well, let's go. Went home. ”

The two put the salutes they carried and the gifts they bought all the way into the trunk, and then got into the car, Chen Peng sat in the passenger seat, and Pan Luyao and Kiki stayed in the back seat. After watching the two of them sit down, Vanessa stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car merged into the streets of London with ease.

It didn't take long. The trio's car left London and drove north along the M6 motorway. Sports cars and beautiful women make for a picture that is pleasing to the eye. Of course, those passers-by who saw it would automatically ignore Chen Peng's eye-catching dog tail flower.

This journey took more than two hours, so when the speed of the car stabilized, Chen Peng took the initiative to chat with Vanessa.

"What did you think about my proposal?"

Vanessa tilted her head and pursed her lips, "What?" So you want me to work for you? ”

"You are my relative, I trust you." Chen Peng's tone was very serious, what he cared about most was his relatives, and he never wanted any misunderstanding between them.

Seeing Chen Peng and Vanessa talking about work, Pan Luyao obediently shrunk in the back seat, without any intention of interjecting, but her ears had been quietly pricked up, and she hoped to have an in-depth understanding of Chen Peng's valued relatives.

"Alright, alright, I'm kidding." Seeing that Chen Peng recognized it, Vanessa laughed, "You are still the same as before, you are easy to get anxious when you joke." ”

"I'm not anxious about joking, I'm only anxious that you might misunderstand me."

Hearing Chen Peng's words, the corners of Vanessa's mouth curved into an arc, and her voice became softer: "I understand, really." ”

She was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have read the information you gave, I have also played the game with the client you sent me, and discussed with some experts in the industry, this game of yours is indeed very valuable and has the potential to be popular." And your company's recent release of Charge, which is very popular with our side of the game, is a great success for the same series, and I'm confident that your game will be a big success in Europe. ”

"So, you agreed?" Hearing Vanessa's words to help him, Chen Peng seemed very happy.

"Of course, I don't think there's any reason for me to turn down such a good opportunity." Vanessa glanced at Chen Peng, "Besides, my dear brother specifically asked me to help, if I refuse, then how sad he must be." ”

"You won." Chen Peng saw that Vanessa was as keen to tease him as ever, and raised his hand helplessly to admit defeat.

Seeing the way Chen Peng and Vanessa get along, Pan Luyao felt both interesting and a little inexplicable sense of crisis, and instinctively wanted to insert between the two, but she didn't know what to do for a while.

Time passed very quickly, and when Chen Peng came back to his senses, Birmingham was already close at hand.

As the second largest city in the United Kingdom, Birmingham has a long history, but it has only been officially included in the list of British cities for more than 100 years, it can be said that the rapid development of the city after the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution led to the rapid expansion of the city, and then added to the reconstruction after the bombing of World War II, so that the road network in Birmingham is very complicated, if you are not familiar with the local road network, it is easy to get lost in this city full of Victorian style and modernity.

However, this is not a problem at all for Vanessa and Chen Peng, who lived here for a long time when they were children.

37 Hairington Street, Birmingham, this is the home of Vanessa and Rachel's mother and daughter, as well as the home of Chen Peng and Chen Xihong's mother and son, as long as the four of them are together, it is their home.

Quiet neighborhoods;

a street that can accommodate four cars in parallel;

The streets are lined with tall trees and wide walking paths;

Then there are patches of flat lawns and small single-family villas of different shapes but very large.

Vanessa drove her car to a stop in front of one of the villas.

After getting out of the car, Chen Peng glanced at the somewhat familiar but also unfamiliar scene in front of him, and felt some emotion in his heart.

"You and Mirika go in first, I'll park the car." With that, Vanessa started the car and went to the garage.

Pan Luyao knew that Chen Peng's mother was in this house, although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, she was still a little apprehensive when she really arrived at the scene, and she couldn't help but follow Chen Peng's side closely, not daring to take a step away.

Chen Peng probably guessed her thoughts when he looked at her, smiled and took her hand and pulled her inside, while Kiki staggered behind the two.

"Let's go inside."

"Hmm."

In front of the villa is a small courtyard sandwiched between the lawns on both sides, the ground of the yard is paved with bluestone bricks, which looks quaint, and there are several wooden armchairs, which allow people to sit on the chairs and drink tea while enjoying the surrounding scenery, which looks very comfortable and leisurely.

On the lawn on the right side there is also a tree that is some years old, although the leaves have turned yellow and fallen because of the season, but you can imagine its pomp and circumstance in the middle of summer by looking at its thick branches, and Chen Peng also saw a swing hanging on a branch, with vines on it, and it seems that no one has used it for a long time.

"When I was a child, Vanessa and I often sat there to play, but most of the time she sits, I push in the back, and as soon as I sit up, she is tired, it's time to go back to the room......" Chen Peng pointed there to Pan Luyao and introduced it, thinking of the interesting things back then, he couldn't help but show a warm smile.

Seeing Chen Peng like this, although Pan Luyao laughed together, she couldn't help but be more worried.

The road to the villa was not long, and after a while, the two of them came to the door. Chen Peng stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and not long after, the door was opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Mom."

"Xiao Peng."

The mother and son gave a warm hug and let go for a while.

"Aunt Rachel." Chen Peng greeted the middle-aged white woman behind her mother, Chen Xihong, and stepped forward to hug her as well.

"Hi Leon, long time no see, you've become a very attractive gentleman." Rachel patted Chen Peng's shoulder and said happily.

"Where, Aunt Rachel is getting more and more beautiful and temperamental, if you are twenty years younger, I will definitely pursue you desperately." Chen Peng smiled and complimented.

"Okay, the good words will be left for later, who is this beautiful girl, tell us about it." Rachel smiled at Chen Peng's compliment, and then pointed to Pan Luyao, who was still standing at the door and looked a little restrained.

"Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Pan Luyao, you can also call her Mirika. Lu Yao, this is my mother, this is Aunt Rachel. Chen Peng smiled apologetically at Pan Luyao, and then introduced the two parties.

Pan Luyao hurriedly said to the two elders very politely: "Hello aunt, good aunt, I am Pan Luyao, from Northeast China. ”

"Xiao Pan, hello." When Chen Xihong heard that it was Chen Peng's girlfriend, she immediately became smiling and stepped forward to hold its hand.

"Welcome to our family." (To be continued)
