Jiang Tianze looked back at her with concern and asked, "Linglong, are you okay?" ”

Sima Linglong put down her knife and fork, tapped her lips with a napkin, and said, "I just accidentally slipped the knife." ”

She turned to ask Xinyi with a very calm look: "What did your aunt say?" ”

"Auntie, that's what she said," Jiang Xinyi said in her aunt's tone: "The Zhao family in Shanghai, who didn't know who knew back then, had a big family, and there were many small objects like this Pisces, so can they all remember clearly?"

After speaking, he smiled loudly.

Hehe, Sima Linglong smiled, but she also seemed to be relieved.

Jiang Tianze also smiled and said: "What your aunt said is not an exaggeration, your mother's great-grandfather Zhao Huaien, he is really a real legend." In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, he was an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he was an official in the same dynasty as Li Hongzhang and Sheng Xuanhuai, who were important ministers in the late Qing Dynasty. Later, he was stripped of his official position because he advocated the reform of the law, and went into exile in Japan......"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Xinyi doesn't know if Dad is really old over the years, and when he talks about family affairs, he may talk at length.

She and her brother didn't know how many times they had heard these words since they were children, but she couldn't bear to discourage him, so she had to nod perfunctorily and say yes.

"After returning to China, he founded the first sand and gravel factory in Shanghai and traded with Japan, and became a powerful industrialist in Shanghai."

Jiang Tianze was really interested: "I think that our Jiang family was just a small merchant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was only with his funding that we opened a yarn factory in Shanghai, and later Japan invaded China...... Later, we had to move the factory to Hong Kong. The Jiang family can have today, and it is really inseparable from the great-grandfather and his old man........."

"Is it my great-grandfather, not your great-grandfather?" Sima Linglong couldn't help but interrupt him in the end.

Jiang Tianze couldn't help but laugh: "Of course it is." ”

Dad and Mommy were cousins, and of course Xinyi knew this.

"How many times have you told these Dads, Mommy? I don't know. Grandma, as a descendant of the Zhao family, shouldn't it be a rare thing to have Emperor Guangxu's night stone, right? When I went to the United States and asked my brother, I wanted to know why my grandmother was so partial, and the night stone didn't give it to him, hehe. Jiang Xinyi said with a grin.

Sima Linglong: "How can our smart Apple not know your Dad's thoughts, he hopes that your brother can return to Hong Kong as soon as possible, if the family is together, there will always be a care, our Jiang family is already thin, I and you Dad are older, and our energy is not ...... than before."

"Brother, he's probably used to being free."

"This kid, I think it's too free. I was expecting him to come back as soon as he graduated. If only he were as well-behaved as Xinyi. ”

"What are you talking about?" Sima Linglong said angrily: "Ah Hao is a boy, not to mention that he is now in his 30s." ”

"I'm in a hurry when I'm in my 30s, and I don't even have a decent girlfriend."

Jiang Xinyi didn't want to make Dad unhappy, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "Why don't I go to the United States to see my brother." Anyway, I've been bored lately, so it's good to go to the United States. ”

"Okay, you can go to the United States to see my brother on vacation. Tomorrow Mommy will arrange for you to be taken by private jet by Dad. Sima Linglong said.

"Don't, Mommy. I don't want to fly on Dad's private jet. With such a big plane, I was bored to death for more than ten hours. Xinyi hurriedly said.

"How can you be alone, let the bodyguard Ah D accompany you. He's been with you for years. Jiang Tianze said.

"Yes, it's been many years, and I've followed up all day long, like my shadow. Can you let me breathe? Dad, I imagine that my brother is free, my brother often does not bring bodyguards, and rarely takes private jets, he often travels to and from Hong Kong only in first class. ”

"Silly girl, your brother is a boy, you are a girl, how can you compare with him?" Jiang Tianze couldn't help but reproach softly.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Xinyi pursed her lips and then said coquettishly, "Just this time, Dad's mommy." Let me enjoy the time of the next person, I'm so old. ”

"How can you go alone?" Jiang Tianze opened his mouth to object, and was about to continue, Sima Linglong shook his head at him slightly, Jiang Tianze would realize what his wife meant, this is not the first time Linglong reminded him, Apple is already an adult, let him pay attention to the way he speaks.

I had to change my tone and say, "Or bring two more bodyguards." ”

“Da...... D, I studied at the University of San Francisco for four years, didn't I always have a bodyguard with me? Didn't I fly from San Francisco to Switzerland with my classmates a little over a year ago, and I was still in economy class. ”

"How can it be the same, it's a unified activity of the community. Besides, didn't Dad let the bodyguards protect him secretly? Jiang Tianze said.

I remembered that more than a year ago, my baby daughter said that she was going to take an economy class international flight with her classmates from the university club, and went to Liechtenstein through Zurich Airport, and he was still a little distressed.

"Just let me go alone, anyway, when I get over there, there is a brother." Xinyi pleaded.

Of course, what the eldest lady hopes most is to be as free as her brother, but the adoptive father's theory is always how can boys and girls be the same?

Always overprotective of her.

During the four years of studying in the United States, Jiang Tianze arranged a domestic helper at home in advance, accompanied by the school, and was accompanied by 4 bodyguards, which was no less pompous than a princess's tour.

How can this kind of arrangement make people go to school?

Fortunately, Brother Ah came out to save the scene.

"If someone stays around 24 hours a day, how can she study?" Wen Hao said: "Wouldn't it be easier to become the target of public criticism if you are high-profile, it is better to let the bodyguards secretly accompany you to protect it." ”

In Brother's words, the eldest lady finally enjoyed the life of an ordinary student for four years, going to the library, or reading a book on the grass, and even going to a bar with her classmates, and liking to take the bus by chance.

Safe? Of course not.

The bodyguards who have been professionally trained for many years in the past are not a joke, and Jiang Xinyi's bodyguards in the United States are all legally armed with guns.

And Ah D is one of the bodyguards who was ordered to secretly protect Xinyi in the United States for 4 years.

A former member of the Flying Tigers, Ah D joined the ranks of professional bodyguards after retiring from injury, he is young, handsome, and has a healthy and masculine complexion.

Xinyi likes him, it's an appreciative like.

That time, Xinyi was dragged to the bar by two female classmates. A boy who drank a little more and didn't know who she was came over and accosted.

"Hi, sweetheart, you're so beautiful," the boy said, "Shall I give you a drink?" ”

That guy was drunk and hazy, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was a little hairy.

Xinyi was nervous.

She was nervous if she was afraid that this boy would behave more excessively, her two classmates were there, and she couldn't get a bargain for him.

She was nervous because she knew that Ah D and another bodyguard were in the shadows.

If her bodyguard jumped out like this, it would be the most embarrassing thing for her.

Ah D was very eye-catching, and he realized that the eldest lady didn't like the boy's harassment, but he didn't like the bodyguard's forced interference.

He didn't take the initiative to disturb the young lady, but after judging the situation, he still walked over, he took out his pistol and swirled it in his palm, and then withdrew it from his waist.

Only then did he put his arm around Xinyi's shoulders, gave her a look and said, "Baby, I'm not going to the bathroom, you've talked to someone." ”

The boy knew each other very well, and when he saw this formation, he walked away in a gloomy manner.

"Just let Ah D go with you alone. Remember to call your brother in advance so he can pick you up at the airport. Sima Linglong's eldest brother rounded the field and ended the dispute between the father and daughter.

"Okay, just leave it to your mommy, but you have to take care of yourself, don't worry Dad." Jiang Tianze is actually still very worried.

"Got it, Dad." Xinyi knew that the idea of going alone seemed to be unworkable.

But if you only bring Ah D, it should be good, he's probably the most listened to himself among all the bodyguards, and I thought, I'll give him a vacation when I get to the United States, can't I play freely by myself?

Thinking of this, she hugged Sima Linglong next to her affectionately, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "Mommy, last time in the United States, you didn't say that you liked the handmade soap in that store, I bought it back for you this time, okay?" ”

Sima Linglong smiled lightly and said, "You girl, you're very ghostly." ”

It's just a picture of a mother and daughter every day.

Jiang Tianze looked at the two of them beside him, and a slight touch flashed in his heart.

Face the two women he loves the most in this world.

He is full of softness at heart.

The tens of billions of kingdoms that control the mountains of gold and silver, the happiness in his eyes turned out to be nothing more than that.

The Earl of Windsor.
