Chapter 40: Mutual Temptation
Melanie's status had long since he left, but she hadn't noticed it before.
This time, Melanie was scared sick after the incident, and no one came out to apologize, and no one cared at all.
For this reason, it was useless for Totolan to quarrel with someone, and she was not a member of the family, so who cared about her opinion?
The resources in Totolan's hands are many, much worse than the real family cattle, and they belong to people who have no capital.
And Melanie knew that the previous days were very beautiful, and that was because of her father, and as soon as her father was gone, she fell.
Maybe she's still part of the family, and she seems to be on top, but she's just a showman.
She could only lean on Totolan's shoulder and cry when she recovered, because her father's presence was so important.
So what should she do? She found herself merely a tool in her family.
Will one day she become a tool for marriage?
She shuddered at the thought of this.
After this time, she became more clingy to her own mother, Totolan.
Melanie's experience only fueled Totoran's desire to climb up.
They are all members of that family, why was her daughter thrown out as a shield?
It's not that she doesn't have a lot of money, and she doesn't have enough family power to do backstage.
Totolan felt a dull ache in her heart as she thought about these reasons, her family was once a small nobleman.
Even her mother's mother still had a knighthood when she was a child, but the so-called nobles did not keep up with the trend of the times.
In this way, it was gradually eliminated, and the former aristocratic status has become a yellow flower of yesterday, and some people have even exchanged the titles left by their ancestors for money early.
After Totolan was born, she could only know about the glorious days before her mother from her mother's mouth, and of course she had heard about it from her elders.
At that time, she didn't care much about the glory of the past, and no matter how good the life of the nobles was before, it was average in the eyes of modern people.
The development of modern science and technology has turned everyone's life upside down, and clothing, food, housing and transportation are much better.
But later experiences taught her that power is very important, whenever she is bullied.
After she resisted again and again, only to find that it was useless.
will think if her family can keep up with the development of the times.
Even if it didn't become that kind of big conglomerate.
As long as the people in the family have the so-called aristocratic status.
Then she herself will not fall to this point.
Even the child she worked so hard to give birth to was implicated.
Because the identity of the biological mother is not noble enough, she will be thrown out one day to become a bait.
Totolan valued power even more, and he wanted to see how he could become powerful.
Just when she was a little desperate to find that her strength was still low, the big consortium didn't know whose eyes were in the way.
There are people who want to ruin the future of the consortium in every possible way, and a lot of things have been broken out one after another, so that they can no longer sit still.
In order to prevent all the eggs from being put in one basket and causing them to be all destroyed, the big business people had to send people to seize power again.
And the previous ones are basically wasted, because they are basically not clean under the P shares, and they can't be checked at all, so they have to send new people.
Then Totolan entered their eyes, she had not really married Melanie's father before, in fact, the two were quite different in age, and they were not married at all, so they simply joined the campaign as a free man.
And behind her is the need to have team support, so the people of the consortium insert some people, Totolan naturally knows that he originally studied and has nothing to do with political affairs, that is, Melanie's father has talked about it, but the foundation is still too shallow, if she does it alone, I am afraid that it will not work at all, so it is actually very good to have a team to help her.
She worked very hard for her strength, as long as she could help her, she didn't think that some people were sent by the consortium, so she had to try her best to drive those people away, she simply needed the help of others to succeed.
In the process, she worked hard to learn from her political experience, striving to one day become a truly capable person, instead of always needing external help.
Totoran has always wanted to one day break herself from the consortium completely, so that she is an independent person and no longer a puppet of the consortium.
From the beginning, she never thought of relying entirely on big conglomerates, looking for an opportunity so that no one could control her anymore.
She wanted to be outstanding, not mediocre, and decided to appeal to voters in a different way.
So how do you stand out from the crowd of candidates? This is an important question.
The team around her thought about it and found that it needed a big explosion to attract attention.
Let the public remember this candidate all of a sudden, so where to find that flashpoint?
It's better to have something to do with Totolan, so that it can explode.
It's a pity that you can't take advantage of those big events.
Totolan remembered his eldest daughter.
Just talk to someone on your team.
It's just so exciting, it's more engaging than the script.
For Totolan himself, this was a strategy.
Out of a desire for supreme power, she doesn't have much affection.
If it weren't for the campaign, she wouldn't have talked about her former eldest daughter: Linda.
I originally thought that even if the daughter came to her, it would be a good problem to solve.
After all, she has always lived in a small town, and her vision and thinking have been affected, so it is impossible to be very powerful.
But now I know that she thinks too little, this daughter is not a person who is easy to fool, she is definitely a person with her own plans. Now she naturally knows that Fontaine's words are very true, and she, that daughter, has grown to this point.
This discovery made her feel a little proud, this child was born to her, no matter how you look at it, it is also her own genes! However, she felt that this child was very stubborn in his bones, which caused Totolan to find that his plan was not very easy to implement. It's a bit of a snack.
Later, some of the radicals in the big business group wanted to carry out a massacre and annihilate the opponents of the group in one fell swoop, only to be discovered. led to the end of the big consortium, and some people around Totolan who were still in Cao Ying's heart in Han suddenly began to surrender.
However, now Totolan soon began to understand Ling Xiao's situation, and talked with Fontaine for a while.
As soon as Fontaine returned to the office, she received a notice of transfer and she was replaced.
In the future, if you want to follow the new eldest lady, Fontaine has long understood.
In fact, she was in charge of receiving the eldest lady with this intention.
Originally, she thought that this would not be possible.
The eldest lady never came back.
There is a possibility that they will never come back.
Most people thought that the eldest lady was dead.
I haven't seen it for a few years, but I'm afraid that my bones are rotten.
Unexpectedly, she came back alive and is still alive and well.
Besides, Ling Xiao didn't move after returning to the hotel after taking a paternity test.
At most, I went to the gym to exercise, and if I want to live, I have to have a healthy body.
Otherwise, I can't run away if I'm calculated, and I basically don't care about outsiders in the process of exercising.
Just as she was about to go back to the room, someone kept staring at her, and Ling Xiao glanced at it, it should be the eldest lady.
Melanie naturally knew that her half-sister was back, and she didn't have much disgust, but she was still a little vigilant.
She is a little afraid that she will be completely replaced by another person, I wonder if her mother will think of this daughter, and will she stop caring about her in the future?
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, so she secretly ran over to take a look, she felt a little familiar with Ling Xiao, and if she looked closely, she could see that they looked a little similar to each other.
Of course, her appearance is more Western, which leads to the fact that she is two years younger than her sister, and she is the younger sister, but she is taller than Ling Xiao in height.
Looking at Ling Xiao, who looked a little petite in comparison, Melanie just stared at it, and finally didn't go up to recognize the sister.
Ling Xiao naturally pretended not to know who she was, and never thought that she would meet this eldest lady again.
At that time, she also lamented that the two looked a little similar, and now she knows that they are sisters.
But she also knows that some people from big families live glamorously on the outside.
It's not very good on the inside, and a lot of the time it's just what it looks like.
Melanie's team, for example, was packed with others.
Nearly being attacked by a cloudburst bomb.
Is it going to kill a lot of people?
Since she just came to see.
Ling Xiao will not run up to pull the relationship.
If you do this kind of thing, it's a price drop.
Ling Xiao seemed to be unaware of nothing and prepared to go back to his room.
That's when Fontaine called, saying that her mother had read the report and had prepared a place for her.
Fang Deng also told her that this would be her assistant from now on, and Ling Xiao did not object after hearing this, saying that she would go again the next day.
As she spoke, she went straight back to the room, and after entering, she probed again, and found several surveillance cameras, all of which were directly destroyed.
She didn't want her personal space to be monitored all the time, and maybe there might even be a video of her sleep streaming out, and when she thought of this, she didn't let her destroy it.
Ling Xiao found that there were a lot of hidden cameras in this room, and it could be seen that some people just couldn't wait, so she would agree to stay in the accommodation provided by Totolan and leave the hotel.
Before leaving, she paid attention to one thing, trying not to leave any traces, in case some people wanted to make trouble, but now she knows a lot of problems, and tries not to leave anything for others.
Waiting until the next morning, Fang Deng took people to the hotel to help move, and as soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened quickly, and he saw Ling Xiao changing into black clothes.
After greeting each other, the driver brought by Fontaine helped to remove the luggage, and Fontaine found out that the hotel was using disposable bed sheets.
The quilt also has its own quilt cover and pillows, and she found out that this eldest lady is a more particular person.
Ling Xiao found that Fang Deng's surprised look but pretended not to see it, who made her study medicine before, a little cleanliness.
When Fontaine led someone to take Ling Xiao back to the place where he had cleaned it, it was a high-end apartment.
This was not where Councilor Vader lived, and Fontaine told Ling Xiao in some embarrassment.
Ling Xiao didn't care after hearing this, aren't they together?
Better! She still has her own things to do.
It is impossible for a mother and daughter to be a family.
I asked separately.
I just found out that I had just rented it.
Ling Xiao's expression was calm when he knew this, and he didn't say anything.
After asking about the rent, he said, "I will pay the rent myself in the future?" ”
Fontaine hesitated for a moment, because the matter was too urgent to notice the matter.
After being pointed out by Ling Xiao, she was a little dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
She felt a little headache, and found that she still didn't do it very carefully, and she didn't think of this kind of thing at all.
Ling Xiao had already seen it and said, "Don't worry, I'm just asking by the way, I'll ask the landlord later." ”
"No, Miss, this is my duty, I should ask clearly." Fontaine said she bit her lip as she spoke, feeling a little sad.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, she didn't care too much about the question she just asked, it didn't matter if there was an answer or not, because she just had to ask.
Seeing that Ling Xiao's demeanor was very gentle, Fontaine once again felt a little sorry for Ling Xiao, and her mother threw the child into the apartment, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't feel very comfortable.
But she couldn't wait for the arrival of the boss, which made Fontaine feel a little bad, and she stubbornly said: "Actually, the reason why the councilor doesn't live with the eldest lady is because he is too busy with work every day, and it may disturb your life." ”
After hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled and glanced at Fang Deng, she is really too soft-hearted, people like this will be bullied by others many times, but I don't know if this person will correct it, if she doesn't change, she will live too miserably.
She wasn't disappointed at all by what Totolan had done, she didn't care about what that person thought, it was better to be together, and to have a free space for each other.
She said lightly: "That's good, anyway, I'm just coming to stay for a few days to see if she's doing well, it's good to have their own private space." ”
When Fontaine heard this, he heard that the eldest lady didn't think much about contacting the councillor at all, and she just came out as a last resort.
She was a little stunned, how could this be? It seems that this person is not a very soft person, and he will not give a step.
She thought about it: People who can live well outside alone are definitely people with their own ideas.
Ay! I'm afraid that when I see the parliamentarians, it won't be soft, so it may be really noisy.
Actually, why bother? The two of them are always mother and daughter, and have a good talk.
Then Ling Xiao said, "Ms. Fontaine, don't call me Miss, just call me Linda." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Fang Deng was stunned, she never thought that this eldest lady would say this.
She snorted, and some felt that it was more difficult to deal with the people she was facing, and this kind of person was often the strong-willed master.
Ling Xiao followed: "You don't need to care too much, there are some things that others may not know, but what I know is clear." ”
"I understand Ms. Totolan's thoughts, please go back and tell me: although I am a mother and daughter with Ms. Totolan, I am an adult."
Hearing this, Fang Deng stared at Ling Xiao who was speaking, and sure enough, it was not a calm lord, and both parties should feel a little uncomfortable.
