After hanging up the phone, Long Chengxuan looked at his wife on the side: "Do you feel ...... The experience of the person Xiao Ang said is a bit similar to Qiu Jin's family? ”
Although Zhang Xiaomo also feels this way in her heart, she doesn't think so: "This kind of company bankruptcy and debt happens every day, right?" And Xiao Jin never told me what boyfriend she had when she was in the UK. ”
"That's the weirdest thing, isn't it? She has been in the UK for almost a decade and has not had a boyfriend? ”
This sentence really made Zhang Xiaomo speechless. Although it is said that people are no longer as indispensable for marriage as before, and there are many people who hold celibacy, but like Qiu Jin, who has not had a boyfriend for more than ten years, it seems that it is really not normal, after all, she is a normal woman, and she has no religious beliefs, and she is still good-looking, good-tempered, and capable, and there must be many people chasing her......
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaomo hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "This is Xiao Jin's personal privacy, if she doesn't take the initiative to say it, I won't ask about it." ”
Hearing his wife say this, Long Chengxuan smiled: "Don't worry, I don't plan to let you ask her." And we can't be sure if Hobbes came for his woman. If there's anything to do, I'll leave it until tomorrow. ”
"Hmm!"
Time passed quickly, but as soon as I closed my eyes, it was the next morning. The two people who were sitting in the study playing games suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Su Hua said respectfully outside the door: "Sir, madam, I received a call from the little duke of Tulip, saying that he wanted to visit at noon." ”
Long Chengxuan stopped and nodded to him: "Well, I made an appointment last night, you look at the lunch arrangement, I guess he will have lunch here." ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Xiaomo also withdrew from the game: "Ji Wanrong come over and help me dress up." After all, if you have a distinguished guest coming to the door, you still have to pay a little attention to etiquette. ”
That's the difference. Usually, even if Qiu Jin and Chen Yu have made an appointment in advance, Zhang Xiaomo is waiting for them with a plain face, but if it is a guest who comes, she will still clean herself up a little. After all, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Long family, and she can't discredit the Long family.
Long Chengxuan understood his wife's thoughts, and kissed her with a smile: "It's good to dress up every day, don't be too formal." "As is customary in Europe, formal banquets are held in the evening. If Long Chengxuan's appointment with the other party came over at night, then he and Zhang Xiaomo would have to dress up to greet each other, since the appointment was at noon, then this time it would be an informal meeting.
Zhang Xiaomo nodded with a smile, and then followed Mo Wanrong back to the room. Long Chengxuan smiled, took a shower directly in the study, and changed into a set of semi-formal home clothes.
After going downstairs, he went to the nursery to see the two children. Recently, in order to let his wife relax, he made up his mind to let the children sleep in a separate room with them, at most, Mo Wanrong would come over to see them at night and feed them again. The rest of the time is left to their own. During the day, they will try to rest on their own, and only when they are awake, they will chat with them and tease them.
Pushing open the door and seeing the two babies babbling together, Long Chengxuan smiled and teased his daughter, and then glanced at his quiet son: "Boy, take care of your sister." Dad may not be available with you today. In fact, he can be regarded as having little time to spend with his son and daughter all day. After all, the wife is the most important, isn't it?
After accompanying the child for a while, Long Chengxuan left the room, at this time the time had already pointed to ten fifty, if the guest wanted to come as a guest, he would definitely arrive before eleven o'clock, otherwise it would be rude.
Zhang Xiaomo changed her clothes, put on makeup and went downstairs, and saw her husband standing in the living room looking at the clock on the wall: "The guests haven't come yet?" ”
"I think he's almost there." Otherwise, it would be rude. With the upbringing of the Hobbeses, they should not have done such a thing.
As soon as the words fell, the doorbell had already sounded, and Su Hua walked out of the kitchen, although he was cooking just now, his body was as clean as if it was spotless.
When he welcomed Hobbs in, Long Chengxuan walked over with a smile: "Mr. Hobbs, welcome." ”
"Excuse me." With that, Hobbes shook his hand. At this time, his entourage also presented a bottle of wine: "I take the liberty to visit, this is a little bit of my heart." ”
"The little duke is polite. Come, please be seated. ”
The guest of honor sat down, and Mo Wanrong also served the freshly brewed tea. Smelling the fragrance, Hobbs looked at her with some surprise: "Thank you!" ”
Mo Wanrong just smiled and gently retreated.
After a few words of greeting, Hobbs found that Long Chengxuan had no intention of getting into the topic at all, and couldn't help but be secretly dissatisfied in his heart, but now after all, he has a request for someone, and it is normal for others to be on the shelf.
Wait, have a request for someone? Hobbes was able to stand out among so many descendants in the family, not entirely by his direct bloodline. You must know that as a family with a long history, there will be a lot of even direct bloodlines. Just like in his family, there are as many as twelve brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters combined. Although he was not born to the same mother, he is indeed the duke's lineage. And that's not counting the people the Duke gave birth to outside.
So he still understands the world very well. Knowing that it was now what he was asking for from others, not from others, Hobbes immediately adjusted his mindset.
Long Chengxuan, who was sitting on the side, originally thought that his casual attitude would make Hobbes very dissatisfied, but he didn't expect him to adjust his mentality so quickly. Such a person makes him look at him differently.
At this time, Hobbes finally decided to stop the boring, time-wasting behavior: "The next thing is a very private matter of mine, and the one who follows me is my butler, and I can trust him as much as I trust myself." I don't know if the dragon is less than you......"
Long Chengxuan smiled lightly and held his wife's hand: "Everyone who can stay in this family is worthy of my trust." The little duke might as well say something straightforwardly, I can guarantee that today's incident will never come out of the mouth of anyone in this family. ”
After receiving his assurance, Hobbes hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe him: "I have a very personal matter that I want to ask Long Shao to help me. ”
Sure enough, here it became. Long Chengxuan thought in his heart, but there was no superfluous expression on his face: "What's the matter?" ”
"I want to ask Long Shao to help me find someone. A woman. After a slight pause, he added, "This matter involves an agreement between me and my father, so I can't let others know that I'm looking for her." I just want to know where she is and how she has been doing all these years. ”
Hearing this, Long Chengxuan probably guessed what it was, and he really let his younger brother's crow's mouth guess it. But he personally didn't want to get involved in it. Because the Grand Duke is still in power and has absolute real power in his hands, he has a lot of influence on the Tulip Principality and even the whole of Europe, and he doesn't want to offend the Grand Duke because of this matter.
Seeing his hesitation, Hobbes guessed that he might already know his past: "Long Shao, you must already know about me, right?" After seeing Long Chengxuan nodding, he smiled bitterly: "I didn't think about rebuilding the old friendship with her, what happened back then was that I mishandled it, so she and her family suffered like that." And in her most painful and difficult moments, I chose to betray and abandon her. Even if she was willing to forgive me, I would not be able to face her again. So, I just want to know if she's doing well. ”
If it was just this, Long Chengxuan felt that he could help. It is enough to find someone and answer him with one word. Even if the Grand Duke knew, he would not have any complaints about his approach: "Do you have any information about her?" ”
I thought it would take some lips and tongues to talk about Long Chengxuan, but I didn't expect him to agree so easily. Hobbes was surprised, but also surprised: "Yes! Some! With that, he looked at the butler beside him.
The housekeeper hesitated, and originally wanted to persuade his little master, but thinking that this was outside, he couldn't lose his dignity as a housekeeper, so he could only politely hand over the information in his hand.
Mo Wanrong, who was waiting on the side, smiled and took the information from his hand and respectfully put it in front of Long Chengxuan. The demeanor and dynamic standards are impeccable. Just looking at her movements, you know that the Long family has a heritage that is not inferior to that of ordinary aristocratic families.
Long Chengxuan didn't have time to pay attention to what Hobbes was thinking, he directly picked up the information and opened it to look at it. However, after opening the folder and seeing the photos on the first page, Long Chengxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, sometimes, he didn't like his instincts very much, because things were deduced by himself, and there was no fun.
Of course, he didn't plan to tell the other party the result directly. After all, he wants to sell the other party a big favor, so he has to grind for a few days, showing that he has spent too much effort, right? If you don't take the opportunity to make a fortune in such a cheap matter, it will be in vain for so many years of cultivation of the Long family.
After quickly browsing the information, Long Chengxuan closed the information: "I know about this matter." Give you an answer to Mr. Hobbes at the latest. ”
Hobbes was also very happy to get the answer he wanted: "I'm going to leave City C tonight and leave with my female companion." Rest assured, she won't be allowed to harass the two again. ”
Speaking of this, Long Chengxuan was also slightly unhappy: "I hope so." ”
After Hobbes saw his attitude, he couldn't help but regret a little, he shouldn't use this matter to pinch the other party, what if he was unhappy and didn't bother to do this: "Long Shao, I'm sorry for this matter." I really don't know what she thinks of you two. When she first met me, it only meant that she could introduce me to the two of them, and if I knew that she would make them unhappy, I would have visited them myself. ”
Is this really the case? Long Chengxuan smiled faintly and did not pursue it further. After all, I have agreed to cooperate with the other party, and there are some things that need not be said too clearly.
What the? Is it that Hobbes did not say the terms of thanks he was going to offer? People of their status, once they entrust things to others, they will understand what they will owe to the other party. Once they fail to do it, it will only be them, not the other party, who will lose face and lose face.
Long Chengxuan also knew this, so he didn't say a word about asking for remuneration. It was his attitude that made Hobbes more satisfied, only a true aristocrat would not talk about interests so easily. Doing business with such a person, he doesn't have to worry about his affairs being known by others.
At this moment, Su Hua walked over: "Sir, madam, lunch is ready." ”
In the restaurant, after the group had an exquisite and delicious lunch, Long Chengxuan sent Hobbs away.
When they left, Long Chengxuan hugged his wife: "Xiao Mo, Qiu Jin has really had a bad time over the years. Didn't she contact you back then? ”
Zhang Xiaomo shook his head: "We were still in touch for the first few years, but then the contact was suddenly broken. I couldn't find her if I tried to look for her. And she never called again. Later, although I went to F City, after I came back, I also asked my parents, and they told me that Xiao Jin had not called. If it weren't for Su Hua, I don't know if I would have been able to find her. Speaking of this, her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Su Hua. And Su Hua nodded and smiled at her, signaling not to care.
