While they were arranging today's dinner, Rachel had been wondering what Qin Lang had said to Yi Anping that had made him so upset. She was hesitant at first www.biquge.info but in the end, curiosity overcame everything.

"What did you say to Yi Shui's father, Qin?"

"It's nothing," Qin Lang replied in an understated tone as much as possible, "I'm just telling him that you're already engaged to Yi Shui, and he can't marry anyone else." ”

"What!" Rachel screamed. "What are you kidding?"

Her reaction confused Yi Shui for a few seconds, and then it dawned on her. "So, you don't know about it, Rachel?"

"Of course I don't know, in fact I don't even know what you're talking about." But she wasn't angry. Although it seems that Rachel has some dissatisfaction, this is more because Qin Lang did not inform her in advance. "Next time, when you want to do this, you'd better say hello to me first." She said.

"Do you want to have a next time, Rachel?" Qin Lang said this deliberately. For him, teasing others is a way to relax.

"Next time it will be your turn, Qin." She countered, "I've come up with a solution to Elizabeth's problem. ”

"Do you want to say to Mr. Daubers, 'Qin has many friends in the U.S. government, Congress, and conglomerates, and you can't stop him from getting engaged to Elizabeth, or you'll offend the whole American high society.'" Rachel, I just used this trick, can you think of anything else? ”

"I'm not going to imitate you, I have my own way." Rachel triumphantly announced.

"I'm looking forward to that." Qin Lang smiled.

For the rest of the day, they didn't talk about it, but focused on arranging dinner. Although it was easier than entertaining an authentic English nobleman, it was still not an easy task to entertain William Mather. Of course, the dinner itself wasn't a concern—they had a good Mexican chef early on—but the living room and dining room had to be refurbished.

Again, this is a very tricky question. The difficulty was that none of them could afford to furnish the living room and dining room in a way that was both beautiful and decent, giving it an aristocratic look without being too extravagant. Even Qin Lang, he didn't have much contact with the upper class society - not to mention that the upper class society in the United States was the most nouveau riche.

Of course, they are actually a group of nouveau riche, so no matter who has the full ability to arrange the living room and dining room in the style of the nouveau riche, but this is not what Qin Lang and Rachel want.

"Nouveau riche" is not a good adjective, and if you want to make yourself look like you are, William Mather probably laughs until his stomach aches.

"I don't want Mather to see the joke." This is the tenth time Qin Lang has said this...... Maybe the eleventh. For the first time since returning to this world, he felt at a loss.

"There's nothing you can do about it...... Rachel sighed heavily, trying to keep himself composed, "actually...... Maybe there's nothing wrong with the nouveau riche style. She comforted herself, and others at the same time, "at least it's much better than a mess." ”

Yi Shui, Duncan, and O'Connor all agreed.

Qin Lang still wanted to make one last effort. "If Mather didn't mind, maybe I could have set up the living and dining rooms in a gothic style."

"You can try, Qin." However, this is definitely a terrible idea. Gothic style? Who likes this?

Qin Lang shrugged. "Now—"

"You haven't even prepared the living room and dining room? God, our guests are coming, do you want others to see the joke? Of course, Rachel, I know that the people around you don't make a difference at all. This was definitely the meanest voice Qin Lang and the others had ever heard. There is no doubt that only Henry Daubers would have spoken like that.

He was walking into the dining room, followed by an apologetic Elizabeth. Anyone could tell that Mr. Daubers's beard and hair had just been carefully combed, and that he had showered, changed every outfit he had worn before, and put on the most formal attire for a social dinner.

"Even so, he still looks like a lewd monkey." Duncan muttered unhappily, and was kicked by O'Connor.

Even though he himself was grunting. "Damn British."

Luckily, Daubs didn't hear their grunting. He was triumphantly announcing to Qin Lang and Rachel, "You can leave, I'll be in charge of this place now." Don't worry, Rachel, I'll fix your big trouble. ”

"Our biggest trouble is you." Everyone said so in their hearts, and invariably turned their inquiring eyes to Qin Lang. He nodded, and they left the dining room together, taking Elizabeth with them.

They went to the hall on the first floor to play cards for a while, and then returned to the second floor when it was close to seven. Under the direction of Henry Daubers, the dining room and living room had been renovated and in the style they wanted.

It must be said that in this regard, he does have two brushes.

However, Daubers himself was not satisfied with this at all. "Rachel, the cutlery, furniture, and decorations here are terrible," he called out to Rachel, "everything is cheap, you should change it to something more upscale." ”

"We will, uncle." She replied perfunctorily, and went back to her bedroom. Before Mather arrives, she should change her outfit.

Of course, everyone except Daubers and Elizabeth needed a change of clothes. When they were done, William Mather arrived.

"You're punctual, Mr. Mather." Although Daubers felt incredible, it was Qin Lang who came forward to greet Mather. And Mather was very friendly and welcoming to him.

"This is your invitation, Qin, of course I should be on time." He replied.

"Thank you. Unfortunately, though, our chef hasn't done his job yet. Qin Lang said, "We can only chat in the living room for a while." ”

"There's no need to apologize, it's fun to talk to you."

They went up to the second floor, sat down in the living room, and then began to talk about the situation between the United States and the world, especially the several wars that were going on—naturally, Mather had noticed that outsiders were present, so he did not talk about Qin Lang's plans, although in reality, he preferred to get more valuable information from him.

He wanted Henry Daubers to leave, if only for a short time. However, things don't go his way, and Daubers interjects and tries to steer the conversation to jewelry.

After a few minutes, Mather finally got impatient, but it was only then that he realized that he had no idea who the constant interjection was. "Qin, who is this gentleman?"

"Oh, it looks like I forgot to introduce it," but Qin Lang actually did it on purpose, "Mr. Henry Daubers, who is Elizabeth's father. ”

"Father?" As they had guessed beforehand, Mather was rather surprised by Daubles' identity. Is he Elizabeth's father? How could such a lewd person as him have such a beautiful daughter as Elizabeth? Was he just her titular father? Maybe......

After a few seconds, and after countless thoughts in his head, he returned to normal. "Mr. Daubers, what is your profession?"

"I have a jewellery shop in London," Daubers replied quickly, "Mr. Mather, if you are going to buy jewellery, I can offer you the best-"

"Father!" Elizabeth interrupted him. His performance was so humiliating.

"I don't have much interest in jewelry," and of course, even if he were interested in jewelry, Mather would never go to London to buy it. "But Qin might have some interest," he looked at Qin Lang and then at Rachel, "Oh, by the way, I remember Miss McBride's father also had a jewelry store in San Francisco. ”

"I've sold it to someone else." Rachel deliberately put on a sad expression, "San Francisco is a place that makes me sad. ”

"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"It's okay, it's been a long time since that incident." She shrugged, then shifted the subject to the direction she wished, "Mr. Mather, can you introduce my cousin to a few young and promising men?" My uncle wanted Elizabeth to go back to London to get married, but I don't think there was anyone in England who would be suitable for her. ”

"Rachel!" Elizabeth cried out.

No one knew why she was saying this, only Qin Lang, who had almost guessed what her method was. The key lies in Mather's answer, if ......

"Isn't there a young man here, Miss McBride?" Mather had fallen into her trap and thought she was just joking, so he was joking seriously. "Personally, I think Qin is a good fit for Elizabeth."

"Him?" Henry Daubers was not satisfied.

"Of course." Mather didn't know Daubers's attitude towards the Chinese, he was just saying what he knew, "Their relationship has always been close, hasn't it?" As far as I know, they ended their long trip to Africa not long ago......"

Daubus was so angry that he fainted. Long travel in Africa? God, what else does he not know?

However, Mather didn't seem to see his face at all, and he continued. “…… And Qin is very good in all respects, he is only twenty-six years old, but he already has personal assets of two million three thousand dollars, runs a large company with total assets of more than fifteen million dollars, and has a close relationship with Mr. Morgan......"

What he said later, Daubers didn't hear at all, his mind was full of those few keywords: two and three million, personal assets, fifteen million, big corporations, and Morgan.

He lowered his head and began to think about something.
