157 Father and Son
Not to mention that Li Xiaofeng couldn't figure out Angelina's grandfather's motives, even Angelina's father Victor didn't understand it - why his father was so keen to get close to the Kornilov family, whether it was as a father or as an upper-class nobleman, Victor didn't like that named Igor. Lavrinovich. Kornilov's playboy.
"Dad, I absolutely don't agree with this family business!" Victor looked at his father, who was too unscrupulous, and early this morning, when he heard that the old man insisted on holding an engagement ceremony next week, and was about to send his most precious and only daughter into the fire pit, he was surprisingly angry.
"It's shameful, it's cheap, it's disgusting!"
The three characters express Victor's true thoughts, but obviously, a strong antipathy alone cannot impress the old man. The old man buried his head in wiping an antique flintlock pistol, only lifted his eyelids slightly, and glanced nonchalantly at his son from behind his reading glasses.
It was such a simple action that made Victor deeply powerless, and the old man not only despised him and ignored him, but also acted as a matter of course, as if it was not his own son who was talking to him in front of him, but passer-by A.
What, the old man seemed to say again: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? When to fuck off?! ”
Victor was stimulated, and the previous pent-up dissatisfaction made him explode in an instant, he waved his arms and vented his anger with the most exaggerated body language and voice: "I will never agree to this family business!" Absolute! ”
What about the old man? Still careless, quietly fiddling with his musket, the meticulousness and concentration made Victor more and more furious: "I repeat, I will never let my daughter marry a filthy and shameful obscene embryo, never!" ”
The old man's mood finally changed, he put down the musket in his hand, raised his head to look at his son, whose face was completely deformed due to too much anger, and said slowly: "You don't count! ”
Victor was mad and vomited blood, and if he could, he really wanted to raise his foot and stomp on his face, and then slowly and forcefully, little by little, crushing that hateful shoehorn face into flesh.
It's a pity that he can't do this, no matter how much he dislikes the old man in front of him, this old immortal is his father, as a glorious nobleman, he can't do such a faux pas, because...... Because it would damage the face of the nobility......
Victor took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart, and he asked in a tone of obvious restraint, "Dad, I beg you, please tell me what the hell is going on...... How can you let Angelina go, please tell me your own conditions! As long as I can do it, even if I am allowed to live with the devil, I will admit it! ”
A smile suddenly appeared on the old man's face, as if he had expected his son to offer such a condition, and all he needed to do was to make a price all he wanted. At the same moment, the stone in Victor's heart, who saw his old man laughing, fell, and he thought that as long as his bid was good enough, then there was room for redemption.
"I don't have any conditions!" The old man's smile became more and more weird, and he said seriously: "I just want to see my little cutie Angelina and little Mr. Kornilov get married as soon as possible......"
Victor knew that he had been tricked, just like when he was a child, and was toyed with by the evil old man in front of him, and whenever he thought he could turn against him, the old man could always catch him off guard. Honestly, it's a terrible feeling!
Victor lost all patience for a moment, and in annoyance, he knocked down the musket from the old man's hand and roared, "Damn old bastard, can't you just be sober!" What is there to expect from the Kornilov family, no money, no status, and what else is there for this family, except that the old Kornilov has a ridiculous Russian British Scorpion Chapter? ”…,
Victor waved his fist angrily, and his originally gentle face looked extremely hideous because of anger: "...... Wake up, old fellow, Russia doesn't worship heroes anymore, do you want Angelina to marry a poor ghost? I can't allow my only daughter to be wronged! Angelina deserves a good life! ”
was bumped into by his son, but the old man didn't mean to be angry at all, he watched Victor's performance with interest, and when the other party's lines were finally finished, the old man said unhurriedly: "Hmph, it's better to say than to sing, Angelina should live a good life, hehe, do I understand that - let you Victor also want to live a good life?" Tell me, who has made a condition for you? ”
Victor's face was embarrassed, he didn't expect the old man to be so shrewd, he could see through all his disguises at a glance, and then hit the nail on the head so that he couldn't get off the stage. He yelled with a little weakness: "I am all for Angelina!" In any case, Count Medvedev is the right person for us, and Angelina should marry a nobleman of high moral character, not to a vulgar and unliterate Qiu Ba! ”
"A nobleman of high moral character?" The old man laughed, plucking out his ears while laughing, "This is probably the most unfunny joke I've ever heard in my life, when did Medvedev, who started by lending usury, opening a casino brothel, and buying the title of count with money, be called a nobleman...... In other words, that despicable and shameless family is not close to the word noble at all, right? ”
After a pause, the old man joked: "Could it be that the laws and morals of Russia have completely changed now, and robbery, murder, and forcing good people to become prostitutes are completely legal?" ”
Swept away by the old man's hot eyes, Victor's old face turned red and he couldn't speak, who let the old man catch his weakness.
After a long time, the old man gave up and continued to whip his son, sighed slightly and said: "Forget it, you still tell me directly, how much money is Medvedev's dog going to pay so that you can sell your daughter?" ”
Victor's face was even more embarrassed, and he couldn't open his mouth after squirming for a long time. This expression made the old man even more disdainful, and said sarcastically: "Is it a million, two million, or three million?" ”
Victor replied in a voice the size of a mosquito, "Five million ......"
"Five million!" The old man slapped the table with emotion, grabbed his son's right hand, and shook it vigorously: "My God, the noble little Mr. Hemsstra actually sold his only daughter for a high price of five million, my God, this is a huge amount of money!" Let me think about it, this money is enough to support several mistresses, one? Two? Oh, and you'll have to raise three of them! ”
The old man whistled sarcastically, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "I must say, Mr. Little Hemsstra, you are indeed very happy, but I have a small question, a year ago you sold the real estate of your hometown, half a year ago you sold a villa in the suburbs, and today you sold your only daughter, so can I understand that the next step will be to dispose of your wife." To tell the truth, little Mrs. Hemstra is really a beauty, and I believe that old Mr. Medvedev will be interested! ”
A series of sarcasm made Victor barely look up, of course, this gentleman was not reflecting on his own romantic debts, but deeply jealous of his father, and as soon as he reached the peak of his anger, he would erupt like a volcano:
"Enough! Are you better than me? Who is responsible for our family's current predicament, isn't it because my venerable father squandered all his ancestral inheritance and threw it into some illusory ideals...... How else would we be so embarrassed? Who are you to accuse me, don't you have the same idea as me! Tell you, old man, I will never let my daughter sacrifice for some of your bullshit ideals, and no one will want to marry her without a bride price of five million! ”…,
The old man was really angry at his son's shamelessness, but he was not surprised at all, because in a sense, he was not much nobler than his own son, and sometimes he could not help but wonder if the men of the Hemsstra family were all the same incompetent. His grandfather is like this with his father, and when he becomes a grandfather, so is he a father, the only thing that is gratifying is that there are no boys in Angelina's generation, otherwise he is afraid that he will have a bastard son and a bastard grandson at the same time.
The old man felt a deep sorrow, once upon a time his ideal was to revive the Hemstra family, but unfortunately he had more than enough strength to squander the poor ancestral property left by his ancestors, and he failed in embarrassment, and he was defeated in a mess.
Originally, the old man thought that he would be disgraced for the rest of his life, but the appearance of Angelina and little Kornilov gave him new hope, if he could, even if he took the happiness of his little granddaughter, he also planned to give himself another chance, as long as he could make a comeback, then the Hemsstra family would open a new page, and he Nikolai. Hemsstra will be the greatest contributor to the family's prosperity and will be remembered by all future generations......
Intoxicated with beautiful fantasies, the old man constantly self-hypnotizes, self-anesthetizes, and uses various reasons to convince himself to break through the lower limit again and again. In order to realize his ideals, he will not have any worries, and he does not intend to consider anyone's feelings, let alone sacrifice an Angelina, even if it is for him to kill his own lewd son with his own hands!
The old man licked his lips and subconsciously looked at the musket on the table, he wanted to immediately raise his gun and shoot the son of the loser in the head, maybe as long as this kid was solved, the last obstacle would be eliminated, for the sake of the prosperity of the Hemsstra family, this price was acceptable.
Poor Victor didn't know what to say, his dead ghost father was already murderous at this time, and all he was thinking about now was the five million, if Mr. Kornilov Jr. could come up with five million, he wouldn't mind letting Angelina marry this shameless and despicable Qiu Bazi, of course, if he could let Kornilov Jr. compete with Medvedev Jr., it would be even better, because it seemed to indicate a higher bride price......
