Chapter 10: The Elegant Visitor
10. Elegant visitor
At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky began to drizzle, the early morning wind seemed to be hot, even the rain sprinkled on the body could not be reduced, the humidity in the mountains was too high, the pores of the whole body were wet, making people sit still.
Mo Lei, who was sleeping on the terrace, was woken up by the rain and never fell asleep again. Bernice's wife also brought him breakfast at about eight o'clock, and told him that Xie Jun was all right, and that little Anne, who was wearing a pink sarong, was bouncing on the sofa in Mo Lei's living room, and she didn't know what song she was humming.
For this family, even if Mo Lei understands something, he can't raise hatred, according to his previous character of retribution, whether it is Berigin or Xie Jun, he has already given him half dead.
They are just a bunch of Chinese wandering around. Not everyone likes to drift, and if they had a choice, who would want to be thousands of miles away from home?
That Xie Jun is just a young man who just wants to scare himself away or say that he can get a piece of his pie, who doesn't have a selfish heart these days? How much more is this a staggering legacy?
If Mo Lei is willing to force a confession, then he has 10,000 ways to make that little gangster vomit to the bottom.
But he didn't, he just used a little trick to set something up. He believed that what the gangsters said was probably only a part, but he was only here to inherit the inheritance, and he got the money safely, so he left here quickly, although he believed that there must be some twists and turns.
"Bernie said, your matter can be solved in a few days, and the reason for the delay for a few days is that there is a procedure on the tax bureau side that needs to be handled by Mr. Wilson, and it has been handled properly, and now I am waiting for the tax bureau to call."
Bernikin's wife, Xie Yan, said softly to Mo Lei as she arranged the tables and chairs neatly in the living room.
Mo Lei said "um", buried himself in eating the food, and then went into the kitchen to clean the rice bowl, he knew that the woman in front of him who looked delicate and weak on the outside, like most Chinese women, often burst out with amazing strength when her family encountered a crisis, she came to deliver breakfast today, and she would definitely have something to say to herself.
"Mr. Mo, how is your family?" The woman saw Mo Lei come out and sit down after washing the dishes, so she also walked to Mo Lei and sat down, and Xiao Annie, who was originally running around in the living room, also obediently walked to Mo Lei's side and sat down, tilting her head and looking at Mo Lei with wide eyes.
"I'm the only one in my house." Mo Lei replied, reaching out to touch Anne's head, Anne drilled his head in his palm as if enjoying it, and stretched out the hand hidden behind his back.
"Here, you drink 'yo-he'."
Mo Lei took it with a smile.
"Huh?" When the woman heard Mo Lei's reply, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and Anne also reached out to hold Mo Lei's arm.
"My parents died, and I have no siblings." Mo Lei lowered his head and smiled at Anne, and looked at the spirit card under Guan Gong's portrait.
In fact, there are brothers, but some of them are no longer there.
"I'm sorry." The woman was a little cramped, her hands were clasped together and twisted together, Mo Lei glanced at her without any fluctuation in her mood and nodded.
"Susu, shall I sing you a song?" Anne also seemed to understand Mo Lei's words, and raised her head and looked at Mo Lei with wide eyes.
"Wow, you must be singing nicely, right?"
Xie Yan 'shh
"My younger brother is very ignorant, in fact, my parents have passed away a long time ago, and my younger brother was still young at that time, and I brought him up, so I spoil him more......"
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, I won't do anything to Xie Jun, as long as I get back that inheritance smoothly, I will leave here." Mo Lei raised his hand and wrenched his arm away from Anne's hands.
"Come, this doll is for you too." He grabbed the pillow doll from the couch and handed it to Anne, who took it with a smile and her eyes narrowed into a crescent.
He likes children very much, but he resists this emotion in his heart.
But after Anne hugged the doll, she still stubbornly wrapped Mo Lei's hand in her arms again, and hummed demonstratively.
"Anne, let go of Uncle Mo." Xie Yan looked at Anne with disgust, Anne rolled her eyes and tilted her head to one side, but her hand still grabbed Mo Lei tightly.
"It's okay, kid."
Mo Lei understands that through some of his own performances during this time, Bernikin and his family are both respectful and afraid of themselves, which is good, after doing this, see if you can give some to Berkin's family, after all, there are many things that you can't take away.
Mo Lei hesitated for a moment and said what he thought in his heart, "Before I leave, I will transfer some real estate to you, these things don't mean much to me......"
"No, no, no." Before Mo Lei's words were finished, Xie Yan shook his head and thanked him, "I just hope you can forgive Jun Xie, I only learned about some specific things last night, and Mr. Mo can forgive him and thank you......"
"Excuse me, is Mr. Mo at home?" There was a sudden knock at the door, Mo Lei and Xie Yan glanced at each other, and they were a little strange to each other, how could someone come to find Mo Lei.
"You should pay attention to safety when you go out these days, I'm afraid they won't give up." Xie Yan saw Mo Lei take his arm out of Annie's hand, stood up and went to open the door, so he also told Mo Lei anxiously.
"Oh? And they will retaliate? Mo Lei walked to the door, Xie Yan also reached out to hold Anne, and followed behind with his own cutlery.
"After all, they are gangsters, the police don't care, they will be released tomorrow if they are arrested today, and they still have guns." After Xie Yan finished speaking, they had already walked to the door, and under the steps of the gate, stood two people in gray suits, each holding a closed umbrella in his hand.
"Who are you?" Mo Lei stood inside the door frame, staring at the two people in front of him with slightly squinted eyes in the light rain.
"Hello Mr. Mo, we are from Global Real Estate, my name is Piedough, and this is Mr. Nelson." One of them, a slightly younger, sun-spotted man in his 30s, smiled and handed over the business card in his hand, his eyes flickered under the gold-wire glasses, and the other was at least 1.9 meters tall and looked like he was around 50 years old, with silver hair, and the crow's feet on his face were full of smiles, looking at Mo Lei with the eyes of a nephew.
"What's the matter?" Mo Lei stretched out a hand to take the business card, Xie Yan behind him crossed over, nodded to Mo Lei, and left in a hurry.
Anne behind her waved to Mo Lei, Mo Lei grimaced at her, and the little girl giggled and strode away.
"Mr. Mo, let's go in and talk? Is that possible? Pidoux didn't care about Mo Lei's indifference and ignorance, and happily strode from Mo Lei's side into the courtyard, and then took an exaggerated deep breath.
"Wow, what you just ate must be Chinese food, I can smell the fragrance, you know Mr. Mo, I like to eat in this area the most, there will always be surprises."
Mo Lei silently looked at Nelson who slowly walked into the courtyard with his hands down, his eyes full of questions.
"Mr. Mo, can we sit down and talk?" Nelson lowered his head, still staring at Mo Lei with his kind eyes, his voice was very mellow and simple, very pleasant.
"Not for sale." Mo Lei suddenly smiled and said.
"Hahaha.......", Nelson looked up and laughed, "Mr. Mo is very clear about our intentions, but why did he refuse us so quickly?" I suggest you listen to the conditions and think carefully before making a decision. ”
Pidou on the side seemed to be familiar with the road, and walked straight into the living room with elegant steps.
"Mr. Mo, please give us a chance to communicate, Pidu, please wait for Mr. Mo to go in together, is it okay?" Nelson gracefully bent over Mo Lei.
"We have already talked to Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu means that you will be the largest landowner here in the future, and I want to hear your opinion first."
Mo Lei waved his hand indifferently, "I'll think about it, but before I get the inheritance, everything that is discussed now is a meaningless conversation, right?" ”
As he spoke, he led the way into the room, and Pitdou inside was curiously looking at the spiritual position under Guan Gong's portrait and reaching out to take it.
"Don't move, Pidou, this is the living room of the master's house, how can you be so casual?" Nelson suddenly changed his face and let out a low roar.
Pidu smiled and looked at Nelson, who was full of seriousness, and Mo Lei, who was beside him without saying a word.
"Sit." Mo Lei took the lead in sitting down.
"Mr. Mok, I'm sure Mr. Wilson has already mentioned to you, and I'm sure you've heard it the other day, that we want to buy up all the plantations in this neighborhood and use them to develop a very environmentally friendly and livable community, but we have encountered some twists and turns.
"So, I'm here today to hear your opinion."
Pidou, who originally looked a little frivolous, suddenly sat down and spoke to Mo Lei. Nelson on the side seemed to be used to his performance, and he just looked at Mo Lei with anticipation.
"Is this an unhabitable place now? The mountains and rivers are beautiful and the air is fresh, if it weren't for the huge garbage heap less than a kilometer away, this would probably be a good place to retire by the mountains and rivers. ”
Mo Lei looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was only 9 o'clock in the morning, and he was fine anyway, so let's see if he could get something out of the other party's mouth.
"This is just a general sense of livability, what we are talking about is that in the future, this will become a prosperous city, there will be highways extending in all directions, there will be charming urban parks, there will be hospitals, schools, large shopping malls, high-end clubs, there will be charming chicks lingering here......" Pidu counted Mo Lei one by one with his fingers.
"This is a community of Chinese, and what you said, probably they don't want it." Mo Lei maintained a smile on his face, and Nelson on the side looked at him with interest.
"Is it better to live in a modern city than a small valley? With money, the whole world can go wherever it wants, isn't it comparable to a small valley? Pidu leaned down, pressed his elbows to his knees, and looked at Mo Lei eagerly, "This is a world that is changing with each passing day, what can a Chinese plantation here bring to the family?" Food? Drunk? With? Can you make your own phone? Can you transform the Internet yourself? Can you treat the disease yourself? Neither, right, you can't live by old ideas. ”
"Well, what does it have to do with me?" The corners of Mo Lei's mouth rose with a sneer.
"Mr. Mo, your uncle was the biggest plantation owner here before, we had a very pleasant conversation, but unfortunately, before we were ready to cooperate, he passed away, God bless him." Pidoux straightened up and made an exaggerated cross on his chest.
"Is there a memo?" Mo Lei asked.
Pidulen paused for a moment, and Nelson continued to look at Mo Lei, the meaning in his eyes deepened.
"You said that we have been talking to my uncle for a long time, so you have a memorandum, right? Could it be that they just sat together and chatted like this? ”
Pidoux was momentarily speechless.
Nelson stretched out his long arm and patted Pildough on the shoulder, "Mr. Mo, your uncle is a man of his word. ”
"It's a pity I haven't seen it." Mo Lei shrugged, "I've seen the jungle here, full of wild beasts. ”
"It's a mess here, but everybody will do their best to make this place better."
"But I'm good at hunting." Mo Lei smiled narrowly.
"Mr. Wu gave us a good advice, Mr. Mo, what you need is money, and this is exactly what we can reasonably provide. And we provide the residents of this community with the greatest livelihood security and employment security, which is an addition to money, and of course, they are free to choose to stay or leave. Nelson ignored Mo Lei's urging and continued his topic.
"I don't have the authority to answer for them, I'll think about myself."
"On this piece of paper, it is our company's commitment, you can take a closer look, there is also my phone number on it, if you think there is no problem, you can call me, sign the payment on this paper, the number on it, I hope you are satisfied." Nelson took out a carefully folded piece of paper from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Mo Lei.
Mo Lei took it and glanced at it casually, startled by the number on it.
"I'm sorry about your uncle." Nelson added.
Mo Lei sighed sadly, "Poor my uncle's child, it's not even there." ”
"Yes, penicillin allergy, what a pity, what a beautiful little girl." Piedoux also had a sad expression.
Nelson's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and he glanced down at Pidou, all in Mo Lei's eyes.
"We are waiting for your reply, Mr. Mo, and we look forward to your right consideration."
Nelson stood up, his tall body blocked the light and shadow at the door, and Pidoux quickly stood up, grinning and reaching out to shake hands with Mo Lei, and then hugging Mo Lei warmly, he spread his hand and followed Nelson out of the door.
