Chapter 44: A Short Stay

Looking at Elanon's joyful appearance, Yan Shao smiled and looked at Katarina. "Anyway, a delay of one time is a delay, and a delay of two times is also a delay, do you want to go back to Spain to see your family first, and then we will go to France?"

He has always been interested in Katarina's background, because when he was on a desert island, Catalina was the only one who did not confide in the two of them, and he did not even explain what relatives he had in the world.

When he was in Marseille, although they were a little far away from each other, he had seen the old fellow of Bertrand anyway. This time, he also hopes to meet Katarina's family if he has the chance.

However, hearing Yan Shao's words, the smile on Caterina's face that had just appeared suddenly disappeared.

"I don't have a family anymore, and I have nowhere to go back..."

Ignoring Yan Shao as he spoke, he turned around and returned to the cabin with Elano in the distance, leaving Yan Shao alone on the deck. "What the hell was wrong..."

Yan Shao actually wanted to ask clearly, but he was afraid that Caterina would treat him with a cold face when he went back, and he had no choice but to stay on the deck. Fortunately, this time is different from the last time, this time I returned to China with Li Liang and them, and a group of people played chess and chatted on the deck, and they didn't feel too lonely.

When it was almost dark, Yan Shao looked at the sky and returned to his cabin.

"I don't know if I will show my face when I go back..."

Walking back to the cabin with some trepidation, Yan Shao was already mentally prepared for Caterina to look at his face. When she returned to the cabin, Caterina was as usual, as if nothing had ever happened on deck, even after dark...

————————————————————

By the end of 1904, the art of navigation was quite advanced, and it only took about five days to travel from New York to London.

After arriving in London, the group did not leave immediately, but stayed in London for two days. After all, Britain and China are thousands of miles apart, and the next time you want to come to London, you don't know when it will be.

In the past two days, Yan Shao did not let Li Liang and them follow, but gave them a hundred dollars for them to spend at public expense. And he took Eleno and Caterina to the two of them, cough, it should be the three of them to the world...

A hundred dollars may not be much in the future, but in this era, even a person like Tesla earns only $18 a week, and $100 is almost equivalent to a month's salary when Tesla was under Edison.

With someone else's monthly salary, it is enough to let Li Liang and them go shopping for two days.

After a group of light bulbs left, Yan Shao hugged the slender waists of the two of them, preparing to have a three-person world, of course, before passing the three-person world, you also need to buy a few masks to wear, after all, the air pollution in London during this period is quite serious, even more serious than China in later generations, Yan Shao does not want to suffer from any respiratory diseases in his two days in London...

Two days later, the group boarded the cruise ship with large bags and small bags purchased in London, heading in the direction of Marseille.

Marseille, the most important port city in France, does not seem to have changed from when Yan Shao left, and it is still very busy. I don't know if the people of the city still remember that there was a cruise ship that departed from here half a year ago, but it sank in the Atlantic Ocean due to a hurricane on the way, and only 6+3 people survived on the whole ship.

Yan Shao and the others had sent a telegram to Taris when they were in London, so when the cruise ship arrived at the dock, they quickly saw that the Taris couple were standing on the dock waiting for them.

The moment he saw Mr. and Mrs. Tharris, Elaline, who had always behaved very maturely, finally jumped up and waved at the guardrail like a little girl in her teens.

It's just that unlike Elaine's excited look, the Taris couple on the dock had somewhat ugly expressions on their faces after seeing Yan Shao and the cold woman with long red hair beside him.

Although they already know a lot of things from the newspapers, they still feel quite annoyed when they see it with their own eyes...

Especially Tarys, it can be said that he personally pushed Eleno into the fire pit named Yan Shao, but now in addition to such things, he can be said to be complained by his wife a lot when he is at home. Of course, compared to Bertrand's outrage, Mrs. Tharris's complaint was very good.

When the news reached Marseille that only six people had survived the ship's accident, a furious Bertrand nearly threw Tharis out of the window of the publishing house.

And when the news of Yan Shao's extra woman came out, Bertrand simply came to the door with a gun. Fortunately, this guy Taris saw the opportunity quickly and dodged early, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a few more holes in his body.

————————————————————

After getting off the cruise ship, looking at the faces of the Tarys couple, Yan Shao smiled bitterly.

Just when he didn't know what attitude to use towards the two couples, Elaline threw himself into Mrs. Tharris's arms.

This time, it was somewhat open to the deadlock between each other, and after a moment of silence, Tharis motioned for Yan Shao and them to follow him.

"Looks like you're doing a good job..."

Looking at Li Liang and the others who followed behind him, after sinking for a while, Taris said to Yan Shao.

In fact, this is complete nonsense, the tungsten filament thing, together with the sky-high patent fee of 4.7 million US dollars, has already been published along with the newspaper. The impact of tungsten filament is very far-reaching, and even the European side is very concerned, so Taris knew about it early...

4.7 million, like the publishing house he owns, even if he buys twenty, it is enough...

"It's okay..."Hearing Tarys say this, Yan Shao smiled indifferently.

It is indeed improvised, in Yan Shao's opinion, the most valuable thing in his hand is the land located in Tampico, as long as the oil on that land is excavated, even if it is tens of millions, it will only take a few years, and at that time, millions are nothing, and if he can realize his revenge, at that time, it will not be tens of millions, even if it is hundreds of millions and billions, it is nothing.

"Make do—" Taris raised an eyebrow, thinking he was a little too pretentious.

Millions still say it's okay, so how much is it not okay?

However, this was not what he wanted to ask, he just wanted to pick a topic, so he quickly re-spoken.

"That woman, what the hell is going on, do you remember the words you left on the note for me when you left..."

"Of course I remember..."Yan Shao smiled bitterly. But you also stand in my place and think for me, when we were shipwrecked and stranded on a desert island for months, it is difficult to say whether there will be rescue to save us, and in that situation, it is not natural to develop into the way we are now..."

"This..."As a man, Tharis felt that what he said made a lot of sense, but as an uncle who regarded Elano as his own daughter, he felt that he couldn't let Yan Shao go so easily.

But just when he was about to make some trouble with Yan Shao, Elaline had already pulled Mrs. Taris over, followed by Caterina behind them, and he didn't know what Elano said, at this time, Mrs. Tarris's face was obviously much better than when she was on the dock, and she was no longer facing Caterina with a cold face all the time, cough, but when she looked at Yan Shao, her face was still ugly...

Anyway, it's all the man's fault
