Chapter 189: Miss Chu
Rockefeller hurriedly walked away with my relief, and I said to Chu Yi: "That kid speaks freely and likes gossip, so please don't mind Miss Chu." ”
Chu Yi said with an indifferent look: "Over the years, I have long been accustomed to all kinds of gossip, so his words can't affect me. ”
As the most famous business tycoon in the British Empire, Earl Soros has a lot of wealth and power, not to mention the entire British Empire, even if you look at the entire Western world, you can't find a few big people like him. So how can there be a shortage of women around a big man like him, whether it is an aristocratic lady or a celebrity, as long as Soros is willing, there are few things he can't get.
But it is also him, a big man, who is over half a hundred years old but still alone, not married and has no children, and he doesn't even have a public girlfriend, it was once rumored that Count Soros is not interested in women, and his preferences are relatively special, but later the appearance of Chu Yi made this rumor self-defeating.
However, Chu Yi was only thirteen or fourteen years old at that time, and Count Soros was already in his fifties, although thirteen or fourteen years old is also a marriage for citizens of the British Empire, but if the object is an old man in his fifties, it is really a bit unreasonable, so at that time, many people talked about the earl behind his back, and some indignant people also scolded Count Soros as the most shameless stinky hooligan in the British Empire.
However, no one thought that the identity given to Chu Yi by Count Soros was just his personal assistant, and it was not as dirty as the outside world rumored to imagine. As a personal assistant, Chu Yi not only needs to help the earl deal with work matters, but also takes care of the earl's daily diet and daily life.
I asked Chu Yi with some curiosity: "Since you are so important to Lord Earl, why did he still leave you on Paradise Island?" ”
"For you."
"For me?" I subconsciously took two steps back and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"What are you nervous about as a big man?" Chu Yi chuckled, "I'm kidding you, the reason why Lord Earl asked me to stay on Paradise Island was because he took a fancy to the geographical location and environment of Paradise Island, so he decided to make large-scale investments on the island, and I stayed here to be in charge of those investments." ”
"Oh, I just heard that you're going to build not only an ocean shipping company, but also a new wharf and warehouse, and even a Soros building, which is a big investment."
"Is it big? I don't think so, it doesn't add up to more than 100,000 pounds, it's just a small investment. ”
I rolled my eyes speechlessly, the rich man is so arrogant when he speaks, Uncle Song, as a cabinet official on the island, only has a salary of thirty pounds a month, and it is only three hundred and sixty pounds a year, he has to eat or drink for more than two hundred years to save enough pounds of 100,000 pounds, and Chu Yifeng spent it lightly.
may have realized that my words made me a little embarrassed, so Chu Yi changed his words and said, "Do you know Grace?" ”
"Grace? I know it, why do you know it too? ”
"Of course, she's a good friend of mine. When she came back from Paradise Island, she told me a lot about you. ”
"Really? Speaking of which, she's been gone for a while, is everything okay after she goes back? "When I think of Grace, I always feel a little sad in my heart, speaking of which she is only a little girl in her early twenties, but she has to face all kinds of unbearable and helpless real life alone, although I once wanted to help her, but I don't know where to start, or rather, I can't help her.
"Her mother died, and before I left Paradise Island, she was still dealing with her mother's funeral, and after that, she should have to find someone to marry."
"And does she have the right person?"
"She told me that in fact, she has a favorite person in her heart, and she is willing to entrust her life to him, but unfortunately that person doesn't like her, she can only hide that secret crush deep in her heart."
"Uh", I didn't know how to answer for a while, although I didn't dare to be 100% sure, but the one that Grace said he should be referring to me, of course I wasn't stupid, before she left the island, I felt her heart, but I already had An An, Su Yuliu and Lin Ruyi by my side, and the three of them had already made me anxious, and if there was another Grace, I guess I would go crazy. What's more, I didn't have much contact with Grace, except for the time when I stayed on her ship to save her from being injured, and we only moved around occasionally for most of the rest of the time, and frankly, I didn't have feelings for Grace beyond friendship, so from any point of view, even if I knew her intentions, it was impossible for me to fulfill her wishes.
Chu Yi looked at me in a daze, and then asked, "So you actually know that the person she likes is you, right?" ”
"This", I said with a sad face, "Actually, I'm not very sure, but I just vaguely feel it." ”
"Then why do you still watch her face everything alone?" Chu Yi asked with some excitement.
"Miss Chu, feelings have always been mutual, it's not that if you like me, I have to like you, I can't force it. Grace is a good girl, and I admire her, but that's all, I already have other girls around me, and I can't give up other people for her. ”
Chu Yi snorted coldly and said: "It's the same as the truth, who knows if you don't like Grace, alas, poor that good friend of mine, is still foolishly fantasizing that one day her wishful husband will drive the boat to her side, it seems that there is no hope." ”
I don't know if Chu Yi felt these words herself, or if Grace asked her to bring them to me, all in all, I was a little embarrassed to hear, and I felt like a stinky and shameless negative man now.
"Okay, since you've said so, I don't want to talk to you about anything else, goodbye Mr. Han." After speaking, Chu Yi was about to leave.
I was a little angry for my good friend, but I could actually understand it, and I said, "Thank you Miss Chu for the invitation, I will definitely come over on time." ”
"Invitation? What invitation? Chu Yi turned to me and asked.
"What invitation?" When she asked, I was also puzzled, didn't she send someone to send the invitation? Could it be that someone has stolen her name and has another attempt? I took the invitation and asked her, "Didn't you send this one?" ”
"Let me see." Chu Yi took the invitation and glanced at it twice, nodded lightly and said, "Well, it's our invitation." ”
"And what do you mean by that? The invitation was sent wrong? Not going to invite me? But what about my name on it? I asked, a little puzzled.
"There was nothing wrong before," Chu Yi said as he tore up the invitation card in his hand and threw it into the air with a bang, "But now I found out that I was wrong, so I'm sorry, I'll take back the invitation, and I won't delay your time today." ”
Chu Yi's behavior made me a little angry, it was really a bit insulting, although she was angry for her good friend, but she couldn't do whatever she wanted unreasonably, I said to her with a straight face: "Since you don't plan to invite me, I just don't want to go, Miss Chu, I hope we had better not disturb each other in the future, and we will be fine, it will be a sunny day." With that, I turned around and walked into the room, then slammed the door shut.
