Chapter 242: Pick-up

"You don't really want to marry me." Leon smiled bitterly, but it was just a joke, so why take it seriously? The woman he really wanted to marry already belonged to another man.

"Have you forgotten? We said okay, all the expenses during the relationship will be borne by you, in case your father is happy to give me a house, I can also accept. The stars were overjoyed, and the symbol of the dollar seemed to appear in their eyes.

"Don't dream..."Leon knew very well what his father was, and it was probably not a good thing to have them come back this time.

"Dreams always have to come true? Being a man without a dream, what is the difference between it and salted fish? Xing'er muttered a small mouth, holding Leon's arm as she walked inside, and the two seemed to be very affectionate to outsiders.

There was an elderly man standing outside the door, but his demeanor was quite imposing. Lao Yuan saw Leon coming over, he straightened his waist, without a trace of a smile on his face, and greeted Leon: "Young Master, you are back." The master is in the study, so I'll go over and let you know. ”

After speaking, his eyes swept over Xing'er, nodded with a smile, and turned around and left without saying anything.

"Since you were born with a golden spoon, why did you enter the showbiz?" Xing'er asked curiously.

It's not that she has any prejudice against the entertainment industry, it's just that although Lu's mother chases stars, Yue'er and Xing'er were seen by scouts when they were young and wanted to be discovered to be child stars, but she politely refused.

"When I was a child, I had guests come to my house and see me eating cereal, and they found that my expression was very natural. He asked me if I liked the brand the most, and I nodded without understanding anything. As a result, the person who questioned me was the owner of the brand, and he convinced my parents to shoot the first ad in such a daze. didn't expect it to be too popular, and as a result, he became a child star inexplicably. "Leon was the No. 1 cereal brand in the U.S. market share, and he was born with perfect and delicate facial features.

"Then my parents got divorced, and no one cared about me anymore..."Leon's tone of voice was indescribably sad. In fact, the first time he saw Yue'er with his younger siblings, he was very envious. He has no brothers and sisters, after his parents divorced, his father lingered on those warblers and swallows, and his mother ignored him, plus he had no siblings, he was extremely lonely.

Thanks to the entertainment industry, his life is not so boring.

He didn't understand why he was so anxious to summon him back when he saw the news of his engagement, and he thought that his father would not ask him again no matter what he did.

After a while, the butler came out and motioned for them to go inside.

"The master will come down in a while, I have already informed the chef to start the meal, does your fiancée have any allergies?" The butler's tone was polite and rusty.

Fei'er is allergic to coriander, Yue'er is allergic to cucumbers, and Xing'er is allergic to corn, but Lu Yichen is the body of King Kong, and he has no allergies.

The butler's question stopped Leon, he was almost unfamiliar with Xing'er time, how could he know.

However, the witty Xing'er immediately took over the conversation, "Corn, I'm allergic to corn." ”

If it's an unmarried couple, it's really unreasonable to not even know the food they're allergic to.

The butler nodded and silently wrote it down, and so did Leon. Corn soup is still quite common, so you really have to be careful.

After a while, they walked to the dining room, where there was already a man sitting at the top of the restaurant, who was probably Leon's father in terms of age and appearance.

When he saw the two of them coming, he still stood up, staring at Leon, and swept the stars beside him from top to bottom.

"It's hard to meet you." Originally, his father was at the company in the morning, in downtown Manhattan, and he only needed to drive around, five minutes, to meet for a cup of coffee or lunch or something, but Leon was busy going to the police station at that time, so he ignored him.

"Just say what's going on." Leon's tone sounded a little dissatisfied, but his expression didn't show any waves.

"Won't you introduce your fiancée?"

"Don't you have her information yet?"

The conversation between father and son was full of gunpowder, and Xing'er could only wait and see what happened, not daring to interject indiscriminately.

Leon's rhetorical question was tacitly acquiesced by his father, and sure enough, he had found someone to investigate. He has the information of Yue'er and Xing'er on hand.

I have to admit that these two girls are very good, they have been in private aristocratic schools since they were children, they are all top students of famous schools, and even their looks are very similar. He hadn't checked with Leon yet, and said that he had made the wrong person, not his sister but his sister.

For a while, he couldn't figure out which play this was. But Leon is always his only son, and everything in the future should be inherited by him, so he doesn't want any woman to approach him with ulterior motives.

Upon hearing that Leon's father had investigated him, Xing'er secretly applauded her foresight. Although she has never fantasized about marrying into a wealthy family, she has always pursued a low-key principle in her love life. Even her colleagues who get along day and night rarely know about her love life, and they have always thought that she is a strong woman who is dedicated to her career. She doesn't usually play any social software, so there are only a handful of traces of the Internet left.

"Miss Xing'er, I'm sorry, let me introduce myself first, I'm Francis, Leon's father." Francis, though polite, spoke in a rather detached tone.

"Hello, Francis, please call me Xing'er." Xing'er's answer was generous, she was not the kind of canary kept in a cage, no matter how big the scene was, she had seen it.

Before they could continue their conversation, Leon suddenly remembered something important.

"I have a friend who was drugged by someone posing as a waiter at your hotel, this is the mismanagement of the hotel, and I found all the video evidence. What are you going to do about it? "Leon is hell-bent on getting justice for Yue'er.

"What do you want me to do?" In fact, Leon went to monitor the matter and the people in the hotel informed Francis as soon as possible, and he also knew that Yue'er's law firm was there to celebrate the banquet last night, so he always felt that his son's marriage news was quite strange.

Over the years, he has never asked about his son's private life, because he knows that those are either acting on the scene or in a dewy relationship, Leon is not the kind of man who would want to settle down, until he had an accident while filming in Canada and officially announced that he had a fiancée, Francis didn't care.

asked him to bring his fiancée back today, because he also wanted to see what this woman who made her son serious was like. To his surprise, the matter of his fiancée had not yet been discussed, and Leon had mentioned the matter of the hotel first, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about this matter. Why? Francis wondered what Leon really wanted.

"Compensation." Leon replied without hesitation.

"The victim can sue us. The hotel's legal department will take over. "Francis clearly came prepared. In business, even Leon can't do whatever he wants, he is a shareholder and is responsible for all investors. Losing money is a small matter, but losing money means admitting mistakes and admitting that there are loopholes in hotel management, which is a big deal. However, Francis expected that Leon's "friend" would not dare to improve, otherwise Leon's personality would not need to come to him to learn this.

Now the reason why Leon and Xing'er are sitting here in this play is to protect Yue'er from being hurt in the slightest, and it is naturally impossible to sue her. Francis's guess was not wrong at all.

Leon also knew that Francis was afraid of his fear, although he didn't know how much he knew, but his tone was full of confidence, obviously prepared, thinking of this, Leon had anger in his heart but had nowhere to vent.

"Let me remind you that it's not just my hotel, it's your hotel in the future." Francis was reminding Leon that his behavior was typical of elbows turning outward.

The three of them finished their meal silently, and the low air pressure above the table made Xing'er feel that the food in front of her had no taste. She suddenly missed her parents so much, and she missed the happy picture of a family of six sitting around the dining table.

When they were all finished, Francis looked at Leon and then at Xing'er, and finally spoke, "You go out for a while, I want to talk to Miss Xing'er alone." ”

"Say anything to my face, there's no need to talk about it alone." Leon was very resolute, and he felt that his father would probably not say anything good when he talked to Xing'er in private.

"Are you so protective of your fiancée?" Francis teased, but his eyes turned to Xing'er.

Xing'er could only take over the conversation: "It's okay, you go out and wait for me." After all, Uncle and I just met, so it's inconvenient to ask in front of you if you have some words. After speaking, she leaned sideways into Leon's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I can't suffer." ”

The appearance of the two biting their ears seemed very intimate to outsiders, especially Leon, who sneered and chuckled after hearing it. That's right, he really doesn't need to worry, this is a weird star that he can't even understand, and he really can't afford to lose.

So he got up and walked out of the restaurant, and as he left, he glanced meaningfully at his father, and Francis seemed to see a hint of sympathy.

Sure enough, as soon as Leon walked out, Francis's hypocritical smile on his face all night was over, and he was not an actor because he was too tired from the drill.

"Miss Xing'er, you have a good relationship with my son, right?" The first time Francis saw her, he saw the traces of love that Leon had left on her, and the young man really didn't know how to restrain himself.

Xing'er nodded with a smile in affirmation.

"Here is a check, you can fill in the amount yourself, I only have one condition, please take the initiative to leave my son." Francis' next words were a complete sharp turn.

Wow! Really? Xing'er saw this scene and her heart was extremely surging, but her appearance was still extremely calm. This kind of plot that has always been only seen in bloody film and television dramas can really happen to me one day, isn't it a dream?

To tell the truth, Xing'er has imagined this kind of thing happening to her countless times, not because she wants money, but because she has never understood what the logic of those women who can't get along with money for the sake of so-called integrity?

This is a blank check.,You just happily fill in a number.,Anyway, it's the other party who gave it for free.,As for the conditions.,"Take the initiative to leave xxx",It's usually this request.,Then agree.。

It's nothing to let her take the initiative to leave Leon, she can break up with Leon when she goes out in a while, but Leon can not agree, he can stalk him, then she can't help it, right?

In short, Xing'er looked at the check very seriously, quickly took out a pen from the small bag he carried, thought about it seriously, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the recording button.

"Before I fill in the numbers, I want to make sure that this is a legitimate gift from you to me, and the request is that I take the initiative to break up with your son Leon Kennedy in the future. I'm not wrong with my understanding, right? Every word Xing'er said was recorded on the phone.

Francis didn't expect this at all, and thought there was nothing wrong with what she said, so he nodded.

"I'm sorry, I'm recording, can you please repeat what I just said." Xing'er's approach was very official, and he made a request without humility or arrogance.

Francis could only cooperate with her to repeat what she had just said.

"No problem." Xing'er carefully filled in $20 million under the check, and told the other party the amount very carefully, and happily put the check in her bag.

Originally, she and Leon were drills, and the two would definitely part ways after three months.

However, she didn't plan to make Francis wait that long, so she still understood the simple truth of using people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

After she finished signing, she got up and said hello to leave.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find an opportunity to break up with your son as soon as possible." She didn't say the second half of the sentence, she would take the initiative to break up, but the other party didn't agree to her, but she couldn't control it. It is imperative to deposit the cheque as soon as possible so that there are no long nights of sleep.

After saying that, Xing'er got up and said goodbye to Francis, and there was no need to linger any longer.

She walked outside the door and saw Leon sitting on the couch.

When he saw Xing'er coming out, he stepped forward with concern, "Are you okay?" He didn't say anything, did he? Although he knows Xing'er's personality, his father is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he doesn't know if he will say anything embarrassing.

"How much do you think the hotel should compensate Yue'er?" Xing'er asked thoughtlessly.

Leon didn't actually think of any specific amount, and he didn't know how to answer when he was suddenly asked, so he thought for a while and replied, "Five million." ”

"OK, that's it." Xing'er happily took Leon and walked out, "Fiancé, go home." ”

Leon followed Xing'er out in confusion...
