Chapter 368: Friendly and Unfriendly
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a soldier who doesn't even know a general is even less a good soldier.
To be honest, Turner, neither before nor after the day of the change in his soul was a good soldier, but not even the Deputy Minister of Defense, who could be regarded as the second-in-command of the military, did not know him.
So, even if Elesis didn't say anything, he recognized it at a glance, and this elegant man with a kind smile on his face who walked towards them while talking was none other than Elesis's uncle, Deputy Secretary of Defense Bradshaw.
Seeing the smile on Bradshaw's face, a thought flashed through Turner's heart, the other party didn't seem to be as repulsed by him and Elesis as he imagined.
Then he opened his mouth, as if to say something, but after a pause, he closed his mouth again.
This time did not escape Bradshaw's eyes, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" You can't be scared by me, right? It's the first time I've ever known I'm so scary. β
"It's not." Turner shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I just don't know what to call you, it stands to reason that I am a federal captain, and I should call you sir, but, from Elesis's side, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to call you like this, after all, I am ready to slap you, and this kind of call will distance the relationship." β
Bradshaw was stunned, then burst out laughing, shook his head, and said: "I knew you were a very interesting boy before, but now it seems that it is better to see than to hear, okay, whether it is as your commander or Xiao Ai's uncle, I approve you to call with her." β
Turner immediately hit the snake and called out to the stick: "Hello, uncle, although you should already have my information, I still have to introduce myself solemnly, my name is Landus?" Turner, a native of Pisa, a federal captain in Kona, a first-year freshman in the Tactical Command Department of the Federal Military Academy, and Elesis are very good friends. β
"Are you showing your capital so that I can agree to your dealings with Xiao Ai?" Bradshaw smiled, and then said before Turner wanted to explain: "Since I can send you this invitation and greet you with a smile, it means that I will not embarrass you in this regard, Xiao Ai is not a child anymore, she has her own independent thinking, of course I can't control her like a child, and I also believe in Xiao Ai's vision, you can make her do that kind of Cheng dΓΉ for you, I believe she will not be mistaken." β
Listening to Bradshaw's words, Turner breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time was a little surprised, he never thought that the things he had been worried about for so long had been solved before he had done anything, and depending on the situation, his impression of Bradshaw was not low.
"But ......" Just when Turner was still sighing in his heart, he heard Bradshaw suddenly spit out two words that made his heart tighten, "I don't object, it doesn't mean that there will be a smooth flow between the two of you, you know, for such a family matter, there is a person who has more say than me, well, that is, my wife, Xiao Ai's aunt, that is, uncle, Peggy, she also knows what happened yesterday, and she is still angry until now, I think that my little Ai can say such things because you have been ruined, and I have been trying to find you angry, so you had better be mentally prepared. β
Elesis heard that her uncle wanted to trouble Turner, her face couldn't help showing a worried look, and just about to speak, she suddenly felt Turner's hand gently press on her shoulder, slightly forced, bringing her a sense of peace of mind at the same time, she also stopped her words, and then, only to hear Turner say: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, don't worry, even if I do my best, I will let Aunt Peggy accept me." β
The small actions between him and Elesis did not hide from Bradshaw, seeing this scene, a smile flashed in Bradshaw's eyes again, and nodded: "It's good that you can think like this, you must know that the reason why Peggy is like this is also because she loves Xiaoe, okay, let's not talk about this, let's go in quickly, everyone who should be there has arrived, and the banquet should also start." β
Turner nodded, pushed Elesis and followed Bradshaw into the banquet hall, this time the banquet was very large, and there were many young people of their age, so it didn't attract much attention, so he followed Bradshaw all the way to the innermost corner of the banquet hall, where the three ******** were standing, looking at Turner, and whispering that they didn't know what they were talking about.
Turner pushed Elesis over, parked the wheelchair first, then bowed lightly to the three beautiful women, and said, "Hello Aunt Peggy, hello two aunts." β
Peggy is not Bradshaw, and Turner naturally doesn't know her, but this does not prevent Elesis from giving him some small hints in the process of coming over, so Turner knows that the most outstanding-looking and outstandingly dressed beauty among the three in the middle is Elesis's uncle, Mrs. Peggy, and the two on the side are Mrs. Peggy's two best friends, of course, they are also very good to Elesis.
Mrs. Peggy just glanced at Turner, but did not pay attention to him, but walked up to Elesis, bent down slightly and hugged her, and said, "Little E, why are you here now?" I thought something had happened to you, I was really worried about me, how is it, tired or not, hungry or not? Do I need a break? β
Elesis shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm not that delicate, Auntie, by the way, Auntie, this is Big Brother Turner, my good friend." β
Seeing that Elesis brought the topic back to Turner, Mrs. Peggy had no choice but to turn to Turner and said, "Hello, you sent Little Ey, right?" I'm sorry for you. β
On the surface, this was like a thank you to Turner, but in fact it was to belittle him as a driver, but Turner smiled calmly as if he didn't hear it: "Aunt Peggy, you are too polite, this is what I should do." β
"It seems like we've only met for the first time, so let's not be so close, just call me Mrs. Peggy, or just call me Peggy." Mrs. Peggy didn't give Turner face at all, and said lightly, then turned to Elesis and said with a kind smile: "Little E, you can rest here for a while, I heard that the desserts here are very famous, I'll go get some for you." With that, she walked with her two best friends to the table with desserts.
Seeing Lady Peggy's behavior, Elesis was also a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Turner, my aunt is ......"
"It's fine." Turner waved his hand and chuckled, "I was ready when my uncle reminded me before, and I'm sure Aunt Peggy will be touched by my sincerity." β
"Something interesting." Behind the two, Bradshaw watched this scene, touched his chin and nodded gently......
