Yelia took Li Guolou's arm and walked into Van Gaal's law firm together, and there were ten people in the law firm on the fifth floor, standing according to their status to greet the arrival of the big customer. The 150,000 franc business is a pie in the sky for law firms. The three French lawyers, who were licensed to practice law, wore silver-white wigs on their heads, and their faces were solemn and not the slightest bit happy.

The Wood family broke up, and lawyer Van Gaal, as the lawyer of the Wood family, was heartbroken, and the negotiation was invalid and could only divide the family property. The commission shall be handled in accordance with the laws and regulations, and the handling fee of 2% shall be charged on both sides.

Yelia generously introduced: "Lawyer Van Gaal, this is my fiancé Mike Lee. This is lawyer Louis van Gaal. ”

Van Gaal Lee is in his forties, with black hair and small eyes, about the same height as Li Guolou, with two mustaches, a pair of round glasses on his face, a fat and bulky body, and a big belly but wearing a tight tuxedo. Van Gaal shook hands with Li Guolou meticulously, and came to a veneer salute to greet him. finally pulled a big hug and said, "Bless you, Mike, you win glory for the Li family." ”

Van Gaal couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, he also had the surname Lee, and he was a family eight hundred years ago. The laughter was so touching, and the other two lawyers laughed alongside. The other seven subordinates bowed to Li Guolou and Yelia, and their movements were like military salutes, neatly aligned, "Welcome!" sounded, making Li Guolou think in a trance that he had arrived at a dress shop.

Yelia was at the Mox Cafe and watched Whitewood Jr. walk into the Van Gaal Law Firm with a telescope, and she entered the conference room, accompanied by three lawyers.

Little White Wood is in his thirties, with a kind face, a beard in the style of an aristocratic baboon, a height of 1.9 meters, a slender body, gray hair, smiling and shaking hands with Yelia, and a big hug with Li Guolou.

Whitewood Jr.'s purchase of Yelia's shares for almost half of the White Shipping Company's share price made him look like a winner. Yelia wanted to fight him, but he only slipped away with his tail between his legs, and raised a Manchu dog with a dog's tail to embarrass in the French Concession. Little White didn't look at Li Guolou from beginning to end, how could he not know Li Guolou's identity, Li Guolou is a national public official, a little white face who has no interest in his life.

Yelia handed the signed contract and promissory note to Li Guolou, and asked Li Guolou to hide it in his purse, a picture of the eldest sister's head. Turning his head, he said, "Mr. Little White, today is a day worth celebrating, I wonder if you will still go to your experiment and refine high-purity castor." ”

Little White Wood's face suddenly turned pale, turned to Yelia's angry expression, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "Yelia, don't listen to the gossip, I will go back to France next year to worship my brother, I don't know if you will go?" ”

Who told Yeliah about this? Most likely, it is the Qing Kingdom around Yelia. Little White looked at Li Guolou seriously for the first time, this little white face was likely to be a killer hired by Yelia with a beauty trick, thinking of this, Little White's originally calm heart began to beat wildly. Tonight is going to be insomnia again, and a new goal has appeared to make it difficult for him to sleep, and he has to get rid of the big trouble in his heart before he can stop.

Yelia Wood got the cashier's note of the bank, and no longer pretended to it, and burst out of anger in his heart, and said angrily: "I don't want to see you in my life, it's better for God to let you sink in the Indian Ocean, and I will go to your well-dressed tomb and send you two bunches of castor flowers." ”

Yelia vented her anger and left the conference hall with her high heels raised, not even saying goodbye to lawyer Van Gaal. Her eyes were full of tears, and she only loved Big Whitewood in this world.

Li Guolou picked up the leather bag, picked up the coat and hat on the shelf, and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry everyone, I'll make amends another day." ”

Li Guolou was extremely embarrassed, but his heart was warm, the promissory note of 150,000 francs was with him, which was Yelia's greatest trust in him, but he couldn't withdraw this money, only a million-pound bill. Li Guolou caught up with Yelia in the corridor, put on the coat that Yelia forgot to take for her, hugged her tightly, and confessed: "Yelia don't cry, I only hope to be in my cemetery in this life, watching you cry to me, a dead man." ”

"you, are you proposing?" Yelia beat Li Guolou's chest, and her heart was a little tempted, even if you get married, a long-distance relationship is a game.

"Will you say yes?" Li Guolou made a sad expression.

"No!" Yelia said without hesitation, how could she propose marriage when people missed her ex-husband, Yelia bit Li Guolou's lip angrily.

The sound of someone walking the stairs, Li Guolou and Yelia hurriedly separated, pretending to be nobles and walking down the stairs step by step, holding hands, and nobles sometimes do not take the escalator. The escalator that relies on mechanically pulling the cable is too slow, and it is worth walking a few extra steps.

It was already dark outside, Li Guolou took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said: "The lawyer is really verbose, they wasted three hours, let's ask your servants to have a big meal together, anyway, you are a rich woman now." ”

Yelia said coquettishly: "What kind of big meal, I just want to eat you, there is a Western restaurant next to it, let's eat a little bit casually and call them out." ”

The two walked to the street, and Li Guolou raised his hand in the direction of the Mox Cafe to beckon the three people who were still sitting in the café to come out, and blew the whistle. A sharp whistle sounded, and an English carriage stopped in front of them.

Yelia yelled angrily, "Mike, don't whistle casually, don't we have our own carriage?" ”

Li Guolou glanced at it and said: "Dear Yelia, it's better to find a better restaurant, the French restaurant here will meet the people from Van Gaal Law Firm to celebrate later, they promise to book a good seat, aren't you ruining their fun?" ”

Yelia laughed coquettishly: "You have counted everything as a detective, so do you say that the White Shipping Company will be stronger in the future?" ”

Li Guolou said: "It should be, but it has nothing to do with Little White, he will definitely sell all the shares of White Shipping Company and go back to France to live a free life." ”

Yelia asked, "Why is that?" He's very ambitious at the board meeting, and he has a five-year plan to show the old antiques. ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Yelia, Little White killed his brother with too much baggage, and he already has insomnia, and today he was exposed by you in public, and he is even more difficult to sleep." Don't you see that his hair is full of white hair? He's better to stay as far away from you as possible, or he'll end up in a neurological hospital. ”

Yelia looked up at the night sky and said, "I hope so! Little White stayed in Tianjin, and I was a little afraid of him. ”

Li Guolou said implicitly: "Little White doesn't dare to come to Jingshi, dear Yelia, you can do your banker dream." ”

Li Guolou already had the idea of killing Little White, of course, first of all, Little White had to leave the French Concession, which was the land of foreigners, and he didn't want to steal chickens and be hanged by the French.

Mayuko, who came over, heard Li Guolou's last words, the purpose of Yelia's coming, Mayuko had already heard clearly from Yelia's two servants. She immediately bowed respectfully to Yelia, this is her hostess, and she will serve well.

Mayuko in the carriage looked at the street outside through the glass window, and did not glance at Li Guolou. For the first time, she was amazed by the oil lamps hanging outside the merchants' doors and the lights on the streets.

Yelia pushed Mayuko across Li Guolou and said, "Mayuko, haven't you been to the French Concession?" ”

Mayuko shook her head and said, "This is a place for high-class people, like us Japanese don't dare to come, many businesses don't welcome us Japanese." ”

Li Guolou said: "This is the product of you Japanese to steal from Westerners, and you don't give people copyright fees, Westerners hate you Japanese the most." As soon as your flower cloth appeared, the foreigner's foreign cloth was not easy to sell, which was called the church apprentice, starving to death the master, and the Westerners finally understood the power of your little Japan. ”

Mayuko didn't laugh much, a weird smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is called the Oriental doctrine of taking, we Japanese want to follow in the footsteps of the Qing Empire now, or your Lafayette of the Qing Empire is clever to get the rental world, how prosperous it is here." Our emperor will not be able to do it, and he will die to save face. ”

Is this a compliment or a disservice? Li Guolou reached out and twisted Mayuko's head, paying attention to the expression on Mayuko's face, wanting to see through what the hell she had in mind?

Suddenly, like a she-wolf, she pounced on Li Guolou and kissed Li Guolou passionately, she misunderstood, thinking that Li Guolou was teasing her, and she couldn't bear her mother's love for a long time, so she didn't dare to look at Li Guolou more, so she kept looking out the window, pretending to be interested in the dark night outside. What kind of ghost Laozi Western food, two balls of rice can go to bed when you are full, Mayuko sat in Li Guolou's arms, and performed her stunts obliviously.

Yelia sighed, "Mike, Mayuko didn't pretend to you, she really likes you, you're such a cutie." After saying that, Yelia also got in and had fun.

Li Guolou finally spoke: "It's good to go back to the apartment directly, but now Edward's carriage is out of sight, so we have to go and eat slow French Western food." ”

Elijah was annoyed: "Louis XIV's restaurant is doing very well, why do we still have to queue?" ”

"Ahh Li Guolou and Mayuko expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Louis XIV's restaurant was doing very well, and Yelia gave a tip before joining the queue, and others thought they had reserved a table, and they still lined up in a gentlemanly manner.

Yelia is very kind to the servants, it is difficult to come out to eat, and it is acceptable to sit together, she and the two servants already have a family relationship, and even the cost of the servants' children boarding in the church school is paid by her, which she is very similar to Li Guolou, and treats the servants much better than the little Japanese.

Mayuko still didn't dare to put up a fight against the two French servants, who called the family a superior nation. Sitting and eating Western food together, Mayuko was afraid of losing face, and she didn't know how to fiddle with a knife and fork.

The Japanese eat a little bit of vegetables, they are a thrifty people, and the Han people drink wine and have snacks, and the Japanese drink wine and pour sake directly, at most a few plates of food the size of tofu blocks.

Li Guolou looked at Mayuko's appearance and said: "Mayuko eats as much as you like, use a knife and fork to slow down like me, if you think it's not delicious, don't eat it, it's not a sin to waste a little." ”

"Hey!" Mayuko was grateful, and pushed a dish to Li Guolou, she didn't like to eat Guilaozi's French Western food, and just nibbling on foreign bread was better than steak.

Li Guolou said helplessly: "Yelia, you order seafood for Mayuko, Japanese people like to eat food in the sea, beef is rarely eaten, and I am not used to eating it." ”

The seafood clam soup was re-served, and Mayuko praised the French and Western food for its good taste, and she also liked the grilled squid, and it was worth visiting Louis XIV's restaurant once.

When the big lobster was served, Mayuko said happily that she hadn't eaten lobster once in the Qing Dynasty, and the lobster here was too expensive, and their family didn't dare to waste money on eating.

Yelia raised her voice and said, "Mayuko, follow ······ later"

Li Guolou kicked over, what are you talking about! Two servants were next to them, kidnapped other people's wives and came out to play, the inside story has been known to the servants, what will happen next? It's a secret that only God knows, you know and I know, and how can a servant let them know.

Mayuko had proudly told the two French servants that she would serve a husband with Yelia in the future, and that her ability to serve her master and mother was no worse than that of the servants. Mayuko likes to show off, and even if she doesn't say it, she will write her secret in her purse and hang it on a tree in a Buddhist temple, telling the Bodhisattva what unseemly she has done and what else she will do? Let the Buddha bless her with success.

This is the same as a believer in Jesus confessing to a priest, so that all sins are made known to God. There is only one person here who hides all the secrets, and this is Li Guolou, who has no faith, he can sell his body, but he has not sold his soul yet.
