When Yan Shao's office was in full swing, the cruise ship that Elaline was on was about to arrive in France.

On the cruise, because of her beautiful appearance, people often come to invite Ileno to dinner or something, but very few of these people can break through Tang Li, and the few who can see Ileno are also politely rejected by her.

Although Elaine's appearance was unrivaled in the entire cruise ship, gradually, more people were rejected, and no one came to harass them. Relieved, Eleno was finally able to calm down and translate the manuscript, and finally finished translating the manuscript before arriving in Marseille...

"Sure enough, it's still rusty...", stretching out in the chair, Elano said a little tiredly.

Originally, this was her main job, so even if Elaline followed Yan Shao to China, Tharis didn't forget to pay her salary—————— of course, it's hard to say if she doesn't care...

However, because he was busy with the factory, Elaline did not have a good time translating the manuscript for a while, and as a result, he became much rustier this time when he did his original job.

"Miss, this is the juice you want..."Seeing that Elano seemed to be busy, Tang Li hurriedly brought the orange juice that had already been prepared.

After putting the manuscript away, Eleno took the orange juice from Tang Li's hand, and the other maid had already put the manuscript away.

After finishing work, Elaline also had a rare leisure.

After a short rest in the cabin, she took out a box of chess from her luggage and played a game with Tang Li and a few other maids.

watched a few little girls talking about where to go. Elaline sipped a new glass of orange juice with a smile on her face.

After living in China for almost a year, Elanon's knowledge of chess and Go is quite high. If you confront Yan Shao, it is almost a one-sided torture. Even compared to the best players, it is not inferior, so even if there are several people on the opposite side, Ilenor is still sure to win.

The whole game lasted for more than half an hour, and just when there were not a few left, there were not a few left, and there was a whistle from the cruise ship outside.

"I'm going out to take a look..."Looking at the miserable chessboard, Tang Li put down the chess pieces and ran out of the cabin, leaving only a few people to look at each other.

Not long after, Tang Li, who ran back from outside, said loudly to Elaline and the others. "Miss. We've gotten to the place..."

Although Tang Li had not been to Marseille, after the last replenishment, this time the ship was left with only one place to dock. That's Marseille.

So after seeing the city that appeared on the horizon, Tang Li was very sure that it was the destination of their trip.

"Is it finally here?" and after helping the other maids pack their luggage, Elaline walked out of the cabin with her belongings.

On the deck, it was already full of people.

Elaline travels in first class. So there's no need to huddle with people outside. As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I could see the city looming in the distance.

"It's Marseille, indeed, the last time I came back, it was..."

While Elano was still nostalgic, the cruise ship was getting closer and closer to Marseille.

With the cheers of the people on deck, the cruise ship gradually sailed into the harbor and docked at a pier under the guidance.

On the pier, Elaline could clearly see the long-awaited Mr. and Mrs. Taris and several of her friends and classmates in Marseille, as well as the purpose of her trip, which was also the purpose of her father, Bertrand...

"It's still the same..."

Looking at Bertrand and the others standing on the dock. The corners of Elinor's mouth curled slightly, and a smile appeared on her face.

The other side. Tharis and the others on the dock also seemed to have seen Elaline, Bertrand and Tharis were fine, and Mrs. Tharis was already very excited waving her handkerchief...

————————————————————

"Auntie—" Ilano and Mrs. Tarris hugged as they got off the ship.

Looking at Elino's more and more beautiful face, Mrs. Tharris also nodded excitedly.

After greeting Mrs. Tharris, Elaline said hello to a few more classmates and friends, and only then turned to Tharis and Bertrand.

"Father, and Uncle Tarys, it's been a long time..."

Tharis was as excited as his wife, but he was still able to restrain his emotions, and there was a Bertrand who he had feared since he was a child, so he didn't say much. On the side, although he was very angry at Elaline's elopement, after seeing Elaline who he hadn't seen for many years (the last time he saw him was when he was held in his arms by Yan Shao more than 2 years ago and walked away on a cruise ship), Bertron's eyes were still slightly red...

"You still know how to come back..."

After speaking, he seemed to notice the earrings on her earrings, and she was slightly flustered.

As an officer who often fought in the colonies, he was more or less aware of the rarity of black diamonds. Then he seemed to feel a little embarrassed by what he looked like just now, so he quickly pretended to be angry, and turned around and left with a few subordinates.

After seeing Elino's appearance, the subordinates, although a little reluctant, had to leave with Bertrand in the end.

Looking at Bertrand's back after leaving, Mrs. Tharris smiled and said to Elaline.

"Don't look at your father very angry, in fact, don't mention how happy he was when he received your telegram..."

"I know..."

Looking at Bertrand's departing back, Elaline laughed as well.

After some pleasantries, Elaline took the manuscript from Tang Li's arms and handed it to Tharis. "Uncle, this is a manuscript for you..."

Looking at the manuscript in his hand, Tharis almost burst into tears.

No way, since he started to be busy with the factory's business, Yan Shao has been out of work for a long time. Although Tarys's publishing house had come back to life by this time, the roar of those readers was almost as terrifying as the bank.

After sending Taris away, on the way back to Tarris's house, Elaline gave Lady Taris another necklace...

Mrs. Tharis didn't care, but Elaline remembered her, and she was glad she did.

————————————————————

Upon returning to Tharris's house, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive with Bertrand's rigid face, and in this oppressive atmosphere, several people finished the dinner specially prepared by Mrs. Tharris.

To be honest, Tang Li and the others were really a little unaccustomed to the bread prepared by Mrs. Tharris, but they didn't say anything when they saw that Elano didn't say anything.

On the other hand, having lived in China for a long time, Elaline also liked the taste of Chinese food, so she didn't eat a lot at the table.

After dinner, Taris pulled his wife, and the two of them withdrew from the oppressive drawing-room, leaving only Elinor and Bertrand, and Tang Li, who knew nothing.

"Looks like that guy treats you well—" Glancing at the earrings on Elaline's earrings, Bertron's tone softened considerably.

Even so, listening to the undisguised disgust for Yan Shao in his mouth, Ileno smiled bitterly. She suddenly felt that it was a long way to go to adjust the relationship between Bertrand and Yan Shao.

"Yes, he's really good to me..."If it weren't for the fact that he was always looking at other women in a daze, of course, Elaline didn't say it in his heart.

"No wonder—" Bertrand nodded, relieved. But in that case, how could you be willing to come back..."

To his father, Elaline didn't feel the need to beat around the bush, so he said it directly. "I'm coming back this time because he has something he wants me to ask you..."

"What's the matter?" said Beltran softly, frowning slightly.

"A very important thing," said Elanon, pulling out the check for $1.5 million from his pocket...

Seeing the number written on the check, Bertram's eyes widened a lot, even though he had seen a lot of the market, and he spoke after half a ring. "Why, could it be that kid wants to use money to pressure me, or does he plan to use money to buy you from me..."

Hearing the word "buy", even though Bertrand was her father, Elano was still slightly unhappy in her heart, but she still said patiently. "He asked me to come this time, just to ask you if you have any further plans..."

"One step further?"

"That's right..."After almost two years away from Marseille, Elano is no longer the girl who once lived in an ivory tower, and she understands the inevitable connection between money and power.

If there is Yan Shao's funding, Bertrand will undoubtedly have more room for improvement, even if it is not impossible to upgrade from the school level to the general level in a short period of time.

It's just that this kind of transaction will somewhat complicate her relationship with Yan Shao, which also makes her feel a little uncomfortable. However, if this matter succeeds, it will be beneficial to both Yan Shao and Bertrand, which also makes her suppress the unhappiness in her heart.

Looking at the check, Bertrand also felt a little hot, because it not only represented a lot of money, but also represented power, power at your fingertips. As a man, how could Bertrand not want to go further, but he didn't have a chance, and the check in front of him could provide him with a skyrocketing boost...

It was only after half a ring that he never touched the check.

Because if he touched that check, in his opinion, it would be equivalent to acknowledging the relationship between Yan Shao and Elaino, which he absolutely did not want...

But the thought of going any further further made his mind complicated.

Seeing Bertrand's complicated expression, Elaline smiled slightly. "In addition to this question, Yan Shao also asked me to ask you for one thing..."

"What's the matter?" (To be continued......)
