The Dream of Silence Chapter 14 An Unexpected Change
When Xiao Yao was still speculating about the mastermind behind the scenes, something happened that had nothing to do with him for the time being, but was destined to affect the whole situation.
The streamlined airship flies through the thick sea of clouds, light as a swift. In this era before the advent of airplanes, Chloe seemed to have skewed the technology tree and never returned to the road of airship technology. Airships, a short-lived means of transportation in the earth's civilization, have become the mainstream of Kolo's flight transportation.
Chloe's airship technology is very mature, even better than that of Earth. The reason is that it has a lot of materials that are not found on earth, which allows airships to achieve efficient and fast long-distance transportation without ensuring safety.
This luxurious private airship is a symbol of the top nobility of this era. In just a few days, you can fly the long distance between the West and the Far East.
The girl cat generally rolls on the soft cushion, she has long black hair, but glowing with a bewitching red light, her pretty face has the characteristics of Asian and European mixed blood, ruby eyes with cat-like cunning and laziness, and her immature appearance has initially shown the peerless elegance that she should have when she grows up.
She was the owner of the airship, or rather, the airship flew from the West to the Far East in order to get her there on time.
The maid of the girl stood helplessly next to her eldest lady and persuaded her: "Miss Elizabeth, we are about to arrive at our destination, don't you really plan to clean up your makeup?" Your fans here are already waiting to meet you......"
"I didn't come here for a concert for them," the girl rolled again, and said nonchalantly, "It's really boring to sit in an airship for so long......
"Let me confirm again, miss, you took advantage of your father's drunkenness to get permission to travel, locked the door of your cousin's house from the outside while he was sleeping, and then traveled thousands of miles to take an airship, just to run to Jiangluo City in the Far East to teach a nobody?"
"My good sister who lives here was bullied by that bastard surnamed Lee, and my father didn't approve of me using my pocket money to buy that bastard's family business and smash it......" Elizabeth muttered, looking resentful.
"Miss, pay attention, your pocket money left over in the past few months is not much more than the money of the Li family's company...... You've just acquired a large private island on the other side of the blue ocean, and you still have a lot of things you want that you haven't bought. "The maid is naturally very aware of her young lady's temper.
The company and family of the playboy named Li Zhao are also great locally, and they are not qualified to compare with the Ansesta family, which is the second largest in the world.
Her own lady, Elizabeth Anselsta, is a well-known singer in the whole Colloe world, and she came all the way here to hold a concert, it seems that she is teaching that bastard who is not long-eyed. No way, my own lady's personality is not likable, just one or two friends, so she cares about her friends very, very much.
I just hope that Miss doesn't go too far this time. The maid had the best expectations and prayed that this time things would not be too big.
But unfortunately, this time the maid's prayer was in vain.
After the airship stopped at Jiangluo, the two bypassed the enthusiastic fan group, and Elizabeth happily took the maid in the direction of her best friend's house. It's just that...... Half a day later, in front of the two of them was a cold grave, where the once fresh life was buried, and the beautiful girl was buried.
Elizabeth, dressed in black, stood silently in the torrential rain, her grief so thick that it seemed to overflow. The maid also didn't say a word, helping her master hold the umbrella. The two slender figures stood in the torrential rain, out of place with the other people around them who had come to pay their respects.
After a long time, when all the people who had come together to pay their respects had dispersed, Elizabeth broke the silence, and the voice that had sung the song that had been used to hear countless people was obsessed with was hoarse and excessive: "It is useless for you to say anything this time, I swear, the death of the man surnamed Li is doomed." ”
"Miss, the master said ......"
"I'm just a few friends!" Elizabeth shouted a shout, pushed away the maid's umbrella, and ran alone in the rain.
Maybe it's an illusion, but the girl running in the rain has a bewitching bright red.
……
As a result, the small meeting ended with a lot of issues that needed to be addressed, but there was still no idea how to deal with them. As a result, everyone adopted the one-size-fits-all solution - leave it alone, and take one step at a time.
After Xiao Yao and Yiyi said goodbye, they took Luo Mengyun back to their school, and Dong Bin cheekily stayed to help Ye Ruoxue clean up for a while, and said goodbye until he couldn't find a reason to stay. The living room, which had been messy just now, suddenly quieted down, and Yiyi found that she didn't seem to like the quietness she had long been used to.
She sat in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the sunset gradually sink in the west without saying a word.
Ye Ruoxue put down the washed fruit in her hand, walked to Yiyi and sat down, helped her take care of her long snow-white hair that was a little messy, and sat next to her like this. The two sat quietly side by side for a long time, until the sunset was completely swallowed up by the distant mountains.
Ye Ruoxue is a person who has no past, and she has been staying with the two of them since she was woken up by Yiyi. Xiao Yao doesn't know how to take care of people, as for Yiyi, she looks very cold and versatile, but in fact, she ...... The ability to live is a ninth-level cripple, cooking can turn any ingredient into charcoal, and the radio with only three buttons can be pressed wrong...... As a result, Yiyi was basically "brought up by one hand".
If you rely on Yiyi or Xiao Yao's "cooking skills", the family is afraid that sooner or later they will starve to death; If they wait for the two of them to clean up, I'm afraid that rats and cockroaches will be able to cultivate in this place...... So Ye Ruoxue, who is in charge of all this, is always a maid with full power.
So it's not an exaggeration to say that she is Yiyi's guardian.
The experience of "raising children" is unbearable, but fortunately, everything is on the right track now. In a sense, Ye Ruoxue knows Yiyi better than Xiao Yao, and Yiyi is in her heart, not like a life-saving benefactor, but more like half a sister and half a daughter.
She could feel that this little girl, who was originally cold, seemed to have something frozen in her heart that was gradually melting, but she didn't realize it herself.
"If it snows, the emotions that humans have...... What the hell is it? Why is it that for some people, feelings are something that transcends everything? Yiyi hugged her knees and asked softly.
"I can't give a precise definition, feelings...... In a sense, it is indeed more important than life, more than everything he has. Even if you give your life, even if you betray the world, you want to give that person the warmest embrace possible. Ye Ruoxue worked hard to weave words, her temples hurt slightly, and she seemed to remember something in a chaotic memory, but when she thought about it carefully, it was blank.
"Human beings are really a magical species, obviously their lives are so fragile, but they always want to do their best to protect something that has nothing to do with life." Yiyi muttered to herself.
"Actually, this is also the loveliest place for us humans." Ye Ruoxue looked at the starry sky that was gradually brightening, and answered Yiyi's question softly.
This sentence caused a small ripple in a pool of stagnant memory, she seemed to catch something in the muddy memory of hundreds of years, but when she took it to her eyes and looked closely, everything passed through her fingers.
……
In all aspects, Dong Bin does not look like the son of a big family.
He is extremely disgusted with all the etiquette that the so-called upper class needs to learn and the clothing that needs to be paid attention to. The Dong family wants to train him as a successor and try to let him get in touch with some of the so-called "aristocratic class" in the upper class, but Dong Bin has no good impression of those old things that he said "half of his body is in the ground", but he has been very good with some ordinary people who have never been taken into account by big families since childhood.
For example, his iron buddy Xiao Yao.
- But Xiao Yao is actually quite special in the eyes of the Dong family, because the Dong family's current "original" company management method that has been praised countless times is actually provided by Xiao Yao.
Although now in all respects, the Dong family does not have much expectation for this unsuccessful guy, but in the end, there are some occasions when Dong Bin should come forward, and he still has to try his best to "die and struggle".
For example, now, only a day or two after that small meeting, Dong Bin was forced to put on a neat and straight suit, forced to wear a fake smile, and at the dinner attended by all the major families in Jiangluo, he "drank and talked" with many upper-class people who also had fake smiles.
He moved the stiff muscles of the smile on his face, reaffirming that he was completely unfit for the occasion. I really want to eat snacks at the night market...... I can't eat enough on this occasion...... By the way, next time, you can consider trying to invite Ye Ruoxue, her temperament must be very suitable for this kind of scene......
Looking at the expensive but scarce food on the table, Dong Bin sighed and continued to search the dining table in a dignified manner, trying to fill his empty stomach.
Then he simply pretended to be full of arms with another person, and Dong Bin, who was not very tall, was almost knocked to the ground.
"I'm ......" Dong Bin raised his head, and the complaint that he hadn't had time to say came to an abrupt end.
"Is it the young master of the Dong family? Fortunately, I am Li Zhao. The tall, handsome-looking man greeted him gracefully.
This gathering of the major families in Jiangluo is to let them, the future heirs of the big families in Jiangluo City, know each other and deepen their understanding, so that they can take care of each other in the future - or have a goal of stabbing each other in the back.
So theoretically speaking, Dong Bin should put on the same smiling face, then recite those familiar polite words, and finally toast and drink, and go their own way.
But the current Dong Bin didn't answer him, because Dong Bin was already scared stupid.
A black monkey with a chain around his neck was riding on Li Zhao's shoulder, baring his teeth at him.
