Peony withdrew his hand and rubbed his arm dissatisfiedly, "Let's learn." ”

"Won or lost?"

Peony's expression instantly became a little unnatural, "Win...... A. ”

"How many fights have you had?"

"Ten ......"

"That maid is so good?"

"Isn't it daylight!" Peony said angrily.

"You're not going to fight her after you've finished eating, are you?"

"That's what I mean!"

After eating, the peony was gone again...... At dinner, he snatched most of my steak and called it to replenish his strength. I had no choice but to cover my face, should I say that she didn't admit defeat or lacked heart?

And I finally waited for Mr. Kimberley to meet. In the study, as I sat face to face with him on the couch, he handed me a glass of whiskey and I thanked him, then pulled out a box of cigars and asked me, I waved my hand and took out my own cigarette.

After we each ordered, he took a break, as if the previous meeting with the others had not been easy. It reminds me of the plot in "The Godfather", where the godfather would always wait in the study for wave after wave of visits at every meeting. There is no doubt that Kimblly is the godfather of this world.

"I've seen a lot of brilliant young men," Kimberley said slowly, "with all due respect, Mr. Chen, you are not the smartest, not the most sophisticated, not the most powerful, and not the most handsome. Even, you give me the feeling of being an ordinary person. There is no aura that people like us should have. But the fact that you can gain a foothold in Eternal Night Harbor in just two months shows that you still have some ability. ”

Kimblley took a sip of wine and continued, "But most of all, I like you slightly. ”

My heart swells, here it is!

"Weiwei is my only daughter, I don't want her to be unhappy, and I also want her to marry someone she likes. But after all, she is still young, and the future is full of uncertainties. Mr. Chen, I have only one request, when you grant me this request, no matter what happens to you and Weiwei in the end, you will be my friend of Kimberley. ”

I swallowed, and of course I knew what the words "Kimberley's friend" meant. "I wonder what Mr. Kimblley is asking for?"

"I hope you don't reject her when she approaches you slightly, but if she decides to leave you later, please don't get entangled." ”

Kimberley's words were reasonable, but ......, "I'm sorry Mr. Kimberley, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request." ”

"Oh?" Kimberley didn't show an annoyed look, but became curious, "I don't know what is the reason for Mr. Chen's refusal?" ”

"If Miss Weiwei approached me as an ordinary friend, of course I would be glad to do so. But if it's a relationship between a man and a woman, I'm afraid I won't be able to say yes. ”

Kimburi nodded, "I understand, and I also understand at this moment, Mr. Chen, you are a person with a clear bottom line, and I appreciate this quality." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Kimberley, for your understanding."

"But," said Kimberly, "understanding is understanding, appreciation is appreciation, but after all, I am the head of the Lebreth family, and Mr. Chen, sometimes it is a provocation to refuse the kindness of others." ”

I said without humility or arrogance, "Dear Mr. Kimberley, I don't mean that at all. It was a decision I made purely out of personal values. ”

"Do you know how much help you will get in Eternal Night Harbor later in the future by becoming my friend? You have good ability, and if you work hard a little and then accept some help from me, it is not impossible to get to my current position in the future. ”

I snuffed out the cigarette in my hand and said, "There are some things that you don't need to think about, just out of instinct." Why has Mr. Kimblly been alone for so many years, I think...... Mr. Kimberley must have understood me. ”

The corners of Kimbri's mouth rose slightly as he looked at me and said, "As I said, it's one thing to understand appreciation, and it's another thing to do business." Then he stood up and patted me on the shoulder, "But I also want to thank you for reminding me that marrying a daughter is not a business." ”

In the end, he accompanied me to the door of the study and opened the door for me personally, "Go my friend, work hard." ”

And just like that, I ended up talking to Kimberley, and I didn't talk about anything. Wait a minute...... What did he call me when he finally sent me out?

I walked back down the hall in a trance, still thinking about what Kimberley had just said.

In the hall, many of the guests who had finished their meals were talking to each other, and I recognized a few faces. The first sister of Eternal Night Harbor, Frely in F, she had already seen me holding up my glass and signaling to me. The two men at the table with her were all of the same faces, and they were supposed to be the other two of the 'Russian shamisen', Chaves in C and Gorod in G. The three of them are three high-ranking cadres of the Lebrace family, and they help the Lebrace family manage their business outside of Eternal Night Harbor, and they are deeply trusted by Kembley.

Many of the other guests were outsiders, not from Eternal Night Harbor, and the only ones I could recognize were the two brothers from the Double Star Society.

I searched for Lan Kexin, and finally found her in a corner who was being pestered by a lewd middle-aged man, so I walked over to help her out.

"Go back early?" I asked her.

Lan Kexin nodded obediently, as if she had thought of something, and a flush appeared on her face.

Peony didn't know when she appeared behind me, and looking at her depressed face, the results of the night were not ideal.

"Lost again?"

"Won one, lost one."

"Isn't that good?"

"Alas, it's my home stadium tonight, and I'm still a little unwilling."

I ignored her and started looking for Jin Jiu. At this time, I saw Wei Wei running over in a hurry, and I was about to ask her if she had asked Daisy to take Jin Jiu away again, but she spoke before me.

"Chen, I have a friend who said she knew you and wanted me to take you to meet her."

"I know?" I was surprised, "That'...... Just go say hello. As I spoke, I looked at Lan Kexin, who nodded at me.

"Uh...... My friend said, please let Chen go alone. He looked at Lan Kexin slightly.

I frowned, but since it was the request of the main family, I couldn't refuse, so I asked Peony to accompany Lan Kexin here and wait for me for a while, and by the way, I looked for Jin Jiu, this kid, and I followed up to the second floor slightly.

The route that Weiwei took me to was a little familiar, and sure enough, I was not mistaken, it was the same room where she met me last time I came here. Now that I think about it, this room is probably the boudoir of Weiwei here.

I opened the door and invited me in, and I was stunned when I saw the girl by the floor-to-ceiling window inside.

I never thought I would see her again here so soon.

The girl is dressed in white and is as inviolable as a white lily.

Wuxiang showed me a bright smile, "Long time no see, Chen Mo." ”
