Chapter Ninety-Six: Angelina's Origin
Rawell puffed out his cigarette and muttered: "As far as I know, Wang Feng's style of acting is incompatible with the high-ranking officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if I guess correctly, he may support the army and stand on his own in the future, gentlemen, we must consider the possibility of Wang Feng not obeying orders, if this is the case, what is the point of us going to Nanjing?" ”
"Eh~~" Wen Xian waved his hand and said: "If he does not comply, on the surface, the purpose of our trip to Nanjing has not been achieved, but in the words of their Chinese, this is rebellion, rebellion is a major crime, how can the king of the east allow him?" Actually, I hope that Wang Feng will insist on not retreating from the army, and just enough to borrow their own hands to get rid of him!
"Good!" Ah Liguo shouted loudly: "One back and forth, plus it will take at least three days for the East King to pass the order, we must strictly prevent Wang Feng from rescuing the Little Knife Society in these three days, so I mentioned that I should sell some Mini guns to Xu Naizhao to balance the strength of the two sides, and sell him 300 rods and 10,000 bullets first, how about it?" ”
"That's it!" The four old foxes looked at each other and laughed in unison!
The laughter spread far away in the silent night sky, and Alice and Angelina, who had just taken a bath, both frowned, and Angelina was puzzled: "What did the gentlemen talk about?" Why are you smiling so happily? ”
Alice shook her head, and looked at the house, because Baoshan City is small, the county government house is limited, Wang Feng arranged for the two girls to live together, Chinese furniture, Chinese bed, Alice always felt that she was not very used to it, so she came to the bed, grabbed the mattress quilt and sniffed violently, and after a while, she was satisfied: "Sure enough, it is new, except for the smell of sunshine, there is no smell, we can sleep with confidence." ”
Angelina looked at the night sky outside the house, and said quietly: "Poor Clinton, he doesn't know where to sleep yet, Alice, do you think it will be a thatched pile?" ”
Alice already had a bad impression of Clinton, and at this time, she finally couldn't help but say, "Angelina, how much do you know about Clinton?" How did you meet? And why did you run away from home? Oh, I'm just curious, you can't say it if it's inconvenient. ”
"It's nothing." Angelina smiled: "I come from an ancient family in the Kingdom of Sardinia, Cavour, this family is rigid, strict rules, last year by my father, that is, the prime minister of the kingdom Cavour, made me to a French nobleman's son, I have never met him, I also hate political marriages, I hate the suffocating aristocratic life even more, but I can't help it, I don't know how to resist fate, just a month later I was about to be sent to France, my most desperate moment, Clinton appeared.
Although he only stayed in Turin for three days, I found that I had fallen in love with him irrepressibly, after he left, the idea of going to England to elope with him has always lingered, and it is getting stronger and stronger, this may be my only chance to change my fate, so I took advantage of the outing, ran out of Turin, I don't care about Clinton's background, I just want to stay with him until I am old, live a free life, Alice, I gave up for a man who has only known him for three days, am I stupid? ”
A strong sympathy instantly filled her heart, Alice's nose was sore, and she almost shed tears, but it was easy to suppress it, and she smiled reluctantly: "No, you are very brave and I admire, but I must remind you that after only three days together, can you be sure that you are in love with Clinton?" Perhaps, that was just a reliance in despair, and, do you know him?
I'm not provoking you, but although we European women are more liberal and independent than Orientals in terms of men and women, it is best not to be hasty in life's affairs, and if you find that you are not suitable for Clinton in the end, it is you who will be hurt in the end, and I hope you will consider it carefully from the position of a friend. ”
Angelina nodded solemnly: "Alice, thank you, I admit that I was too impulsive today, and fortunately Wang Feng didn't agree to my request, otherwise, I would really be embarrassed to death, I know, Clinton's cowardice is very disappointing, right?" Who doesn't want their partner to be a hero? It's just that people are in such an environment, and they will inevitably be abnormal, and I will give him a chance, I will observe him well, and I will remember your advice. ”
"If only you could think like that!" Alice took out a small pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "It's almost ten o'clock, let's go to bed early." ”
Angelina didn't move her steps, as if she had thought of something, and said: "I heard the conversation between Wang Feng and you during the day, I think what he said is very reasonable, women want to get rid of the family's control, they must be financially independent, he advises you to invest in China, although there is a use of your mind in it, but there is no lack of feasibility, I may stay in China for a long time, so I want to join forces with you, we each have 50% of the shares, and jointly start a career in China, you see?" ”
"This" Alice was actually moved by Wang Feng's words, but she was shy, and she twisted and defended for a long time before she blushed slightly and said, "I don't have any money, and my uncle may not be willing to lend it to me." ”
"It's okay, I'll lend it to you, I brought 10,000 pounds out of my family, it's all my personal property, and it has nothing to do with the family!" Angelina took it very boldly.
"Where did you get all that money?" Alice was surprised.
Angelina said triumphantly: "Alice, don't forget who my father is, he is Cavour, the second son, there is no inheritance in the family, so he is determined to start his own business, since he was in his twenties, he has opened farms, railways, real estate, and many industrial companies, and is one of the founders of the Bank of Turin, it is not an exaggeration to say that my father is the richest man in the Kingdom of Sardinia, and my money is the pocket money I have saved since I was a child." ”
Angelina forgot about her father's arranged marriage for the time being, and was proud of having such a capable father, while Alice was full of envy, worthy of being the daughter of a banker and a capitalist, with 10,000 pounds of pocket money, compared to herself, only a pitiful one or two pounds of pocket money a month, but the Bonham family was obviously not comparable to the Cavour family.
Alice quickly calmed down, shook her head and said, "Angelina, I can't borrow money from you, you both contribute and lend me money, then I might as well work for you." ”
Angelina was puzzled: "What does it matter? Aren't we good friends? ”
Alice still shook her head: "We are good friends in life, but we are colleagues at work, we can't be mixed up, in fact, I can borrow money from Wang Feng, he is my best friend, borrowing some money is nothing." ”
Suddenly, Angelina looked at Alice with extremely strange eyes, until Alice lowered her head unnaturally, and then couldn't help but smile: "We sleep in the same bed tonight, we should be considered best friends, right?" If Wang Feng proposes to enter your boudoir, or even has to go to your bed as a best friend, will you allow it? ”
