24. Strange woman
"Second sister, let me ask you something."
Elia, who rushed to her father in a hurry, did not notice the Bingyue party that had been scheduled, but instead found her second sister and the housekeepers standing there with their heads shut.
"Wait, what's going on today? Scolded? โ
"yes, Leah." Judging from Ivy's expression, it seems that her second sister has just cried, and there are even tears in the corners of her eyes, "Today, Dad, he suddenly became so strange, and then scolded me." โ
"Well, you must be bothering him with the same chirping around him as a sparrow."
"No, I didn't say a few words today, and my father should be used to it."
No, even if it's a habit, no one wants to turn on a TV with the maximum volume turned on all day long.
"It's useless to ask you." Ellia sighed, "Housekeeper, you seem to have been scolded too, what's going on?" โ
"It's me who doesn't take care of it." The old butler honestly lowered his head, "I'm so sorry." โ
"It's a bit good for you to lie, you've been here longer than my age, and my father hasn't scolded you once, and you whispered to me what happened today."
"This ......"
"I'll let you say it, it's not a scandal."
"That's right." The old butler hesitated for a moment and leaned into Elria's ear, "Originally, the master was fine this morning, and there seemed to be no other signs, until the four guests came, and the master's behavior became very strange." โ
"What's so strange about the law, hey, no, my people?" Ellia was anxious, "Where are they now?" โ
"They're fine, they're waiting in the house right now."
"That's good, if the person I invited to do it for my father, I wouldn't be a good person." Ellia breathed a sigh of relief. "So what's next? You said that the father had become strange, something strange. โ
"This ...... I don't know, anyway, the old man was stunned for a long time when he saw them, and then ......"
"And then?"
"And then I don't know why." The old butler's expression was a little crying and laughing. "Then the lord suddenly scolded us for not treating the guests well, saying that we were not good at hospitality."
"yes, yes, Leah." Ivy also complained, "Obviously we said everything we should have said, and then my father scolded me just as I was about to explain." โ
This...... What's wrong with your father today?
Is it really because of poor hospitality?
But that's not right, my father doesn't have many friends to bring to the house, let alone meet those young people. And every time a guest comes to the house, it is already unprecedented for his father to come out to meet him, and in my impression, his father only comes out when Belรฉm's parents visit.
The work of hospitality is known to you. These old housekeepers are the most trusted people around their father, and they have more than ten years of experience, so they will definitely not make any low-level mistakes, so how can their father be angry with them for no reason?
It's weird.
"Well, is my father in the study? I went in and asked him. โ
"Miss. Don't go in. The old butler hurriedly called out to Elle, "When you didn't come just now, the lord and she went to the study alone with a guest with a very nervous expression, maybe it is not appropriate to go to him now." โ
Went to the study alone?
"Well, I see, I'll go see my guests first." Ellia said, "Second sister! You wipe your tears first. Makeup is going to be spent. โ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ you spent all your makeup, can I remember?
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"Ah, you're here."
Seeing Ellia pushing the door in, Bingyue hurriedly stood up.
"Well, hello, I've kept you waiting."
Ellia took the door and did it, after looking around. Suddenly a problem was discovered.
Strange, the last time I felt like I was electrocuted when I saw it, the middle-aged woman wasn't here?
Wait, just now the old housekeeper said that his father went to the study alone with a guest, could it be her?
What are the two of them doing in the study? Won't it ......
Wrong wrong. How could his father be such a person, doing something to his guests in broad daylight, and the other party couldn't really go with him so easily.
"Well, your face is still not good, has something happened?"
"No, it's fine. Just call me Leah. Shaking her head, Elia sat down, in short, since her father and she went to the study alone, there must be something to say, so she should leave it alone for the time being.
"It was a little uncomfortable that day, so I'm sorry to bother you to run again. So let's get down to business, which is about cooperation. โ
"Well, actually, I want to ask." Bingyue looked a little hesitant, "Why would a huge force like you choose to cooperate with me?" โ
"It's very simple, it's because of one person." "I remember that you should remember me, and I remember that day I was taunted by the girl next to you for being poor." Have you forgotten? The latest in Paris? โ
"You ......"
Qingyu was choked by Elleh's words, to be honest, it turned out that the little girl who was dressed in ordinary clothes at the time really had such a powerful thing, which really shocked her.
That's exactly the difference between an eagle and a chick.
"I'm not here to seek revenge from you this time, and I don't have this bad taste, so I'm looking for you to cooperate because you know someone."
"Who?"
"Ye Feng."
"Huh? She? Bingyue looked at Elia suspiciously, "That, ...... said"
"You're thinking crooked, I just want to stay there." "Anyway, what kind of business are you good at?" โ
"Finance."
"Well, you don't have to pay for the funds, I will help you get them all, as for the shares, I only need half of the shares, all the people are you to choose, and you can get the business model and everything by yourself." All I want is a promise from you - don't let me go out of business. โ
"This must be fine."
"Then it's decided, the specific matter will be said when you come to my residence, I want to ask you a digression."
"Please."
"I remember that there was also a middle-aged woman who came with you. She seems to have gone to the study with my father, what the hell is going on? โ
"I don't know about this." Bingyue said, "It's strange that while we were sitting in the living room, your father suddenly rushed out, and then fired at the servant and politely invited us here. After a casual conversation with us, she went to the study with the teacher. โ
"Teacher?"
"It's just a title, but at the time I felt that your father seemed to be very nervous."
"That's right. I see, you guys wait a minute. โ
Sure enough, I still care.
When I saw that woman, I felt very strange, although it may be just a coincidence, but why did my father, who was usually very serious, become so strange.
First, he got angry for no reason. Then talk to that woman alone or something, and sure enough, even if you are rude and scolded, you have to know.
Elia quietly walked to the door of the study, but just as she was about to push the door open, she heard her father's voice coming from inside.
"I'm begging you, we've been seeing each other for so long, can you stop ignoring me?"
"Even if it's not for me. You see, in ......"
"Enough! Don't talk to me about this as if you're great. The greatest man in the world, and I'm the most ruthless person in the world, right? โ
โโฆโฆโ
Sure enough, it's still strange that it's the first time I've heard my father speak in such a low voice.
What is the origin of this strange woman?
"Well, I don't expect you to forgive me. But I still want to say that it was really a choice I had to make, and if it wasn't for that, I would have ......."
"Don't talk nonsense with me, of course I'm not here for you this time."
"That'...... What do you want. Now I can give you anything. โ
"Are you sure? Then I'm going to ...... Can you give it to me? โ
โโฆโฆ I'm sorry. โ
"Look, I knew you were only going to say that. This time, I came to make a request to you, no, it should be regarded as an order. โ
"You say, as long as I can do it."
"Lend me what belongs to me for a few days, I miss her, it's been almost 20 years."
20 years?
Could it be that his father owes that woman a huge amount of money or something very important, and he hasn't paid it back for 20 years, and this time people are here to collect the debt?
"That'...... What about me? โ
"I don't want you to be in my sight, please hide for the next few days."
โโฆโฆ I see, but ...... safety asks."
"I don't need to! I just don't want to see anything that has anything to do with you, what you get by breaking your promises, I just want to be with what belongs to me. โ
โโฆโฆโ
Sure enough, it's still strange, why does it feel that his father didn't dare to answer a word positively when facing this woman?
It's clear that I'm very strong at all times.
I still knocked on the door to say hello.
"Miss!"
โ๏ผโ
"Miss, what are you doing here?" The frightened old butler hurriedly dragged Elia up, "How can you eavesdrop when the master is in the study." โ
"I'm just ......"
"Anyway, you hurry up and leave here with me, otherwise if you are discovered by the master, it will be over."
"Got it, got it."
It seems that there is no way to ask now, and sure enough, when my father has time, I will ask about my father's strange behavior today, and the woman who has always cared about her.
