Chapter 746: Tangli
The Juilliard is more than 20 years old, having been renovated four times, most recently three years ago, so the furniture in the room looks a little old, but the Bernard family just likes the old feeling.
This has a lot to do with the history of Bernard's family, whose family can be traced back to King Philip II Augustus in the 11th century, and Bernard owned a large estate in Ireland and produced milk that was sold all over the world.
Bernard buys furniture that is both new and old, and will always add some old furniture to the new furniture like a finishing touch, which will tell the visitor that they are a family, a Bernard family that has had wealth and power and glory for generations.
Bernard is a typical family man, or rather, he has a very strong sense of belonging to the family, and a family like theirs, no longer needs to take care of anything by himself, he only needs to decide whether the CEO will stay or go when the dividend decreases at the end of the year, and all the smart people in the world are left to them to choose, all they have to do is enjoy a life that others can never enjoy.
So Bernard's wife is always with her husband, and Bernard's daughter is always with her father, and it is a very happy and joyful family.
God must have given them more favor so that they had more things.
Bernard put down his Bible and took out this year's donation list, and every year he will give 50% of his own dividends to donate, aiming at all the poor people in this world, to be exact, as long as he has been, he will receive a generous donation of his kind, and the poor there will share in the wealth owned by the Bernard family.
This is more important than anything else for Bernard, who firmly believes that he is only a manager of wealth, not a possessor, and how to use this wealth for more people to change their poor living conditions is the mission of their Bernard family.
In this way, he is worthy of the life he enjoys every day.
The Bernard family has been doing this for centuries.
Bernard looked up, and a duck-faced girl with eyes walked into the room, holding a tablet that could be seen on the list of endangered animals.
Bernard praised his daughter's hobbies, and he thought that her daughter Sugar Brown was a lover of her daughter. Bernard pushed the philanthropy of the Bernard family to a new level, originally they had been focusing on the poor, and his proud daughter focused on those species that were about to become extinct, God said that all are created equal, and people and animals are also equal, and it is a sad thing that people have made mistakes that have caused the extinction of that kind of beautiful life created by God's own hands, Bernard firmly believes that they are now on a Noah's ark, but all the people do not know the way, and there are many God's fabricated animals on the ship, and it is really a sad thing that God will judge later, will be one of the indicators of the number of animals remaining, thus determining the life and death of humans.
Sugar Li's actions are atoning for the sins of all mankind.
As a descendant of the Bernard family, from the moment he was born, he was different from ordinary people, after birth, ordinary people need to think about how to earn money day and night, and their family thinks about how to spend money, of course it is easy to spend money, but it is not so easy to spend money more on those who need it, because there are too many sinners in this world who are like poisonous snakes ready to greedily devour your wealth, they are devils, they don't need help, what they need is hell.
It's not easy to discern these people and spend their money on those who need it.
Bernard laughed and said, "My princess, what have you found again?"
The girl is the girl who persuaded Lin Yu not to eat the dragon on the deck.
The girl looked quite melancholy, shook her head, and said, "Father, why do some people want to harvest those lives that are about to become extinct? Don't they know that any kind of existence in this world is a precious gift from God? If they want to fill their stomachs, there are many things?"
Bernard looked at his daughter lovingly, just as every father looks at his daughter, a beautiful gem, and smiled: " We are living at the top of the pyramid, and we don't know the hard life of those poor people, and in addition, those poor people don't eat those precious and rare animals, what they do is just to satisfy the needs of those who exist like us, so if you don't need these things, our family doesn't need them, and the rich and powerful people in the whole world don't need them, then the words endangered and extinct will no longer appear. β
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "Then if a person catches a dragon and bites it and does not eat it, but throws it back into the sea, what should such a guy say? β
Bernard frowned slightly, a trace of unforgiveness flashed in his eyes, and said: "If a person hunts life not because he is full or to improve his life, nor to meet the needs of others, then this kind of person should be the devil, stay away from such people, if necessary, even if he gives his life to stop such people, compromise, will make such people more arrogant, and at the same time will cause others to follow suit." β
"Why did you see such a guy?" Sugar Li glanced at the scar on his father's arm, the shocking gun hole was left by the conflict between several guys who took pleasure in hunting the wild people of primitive tribes on his way to Africa, it was a group of murderous guys, among them there were mercenaries, but his father did not flinch, he was a warrior, although he had not been on the battlefield, but in life, he was a fearless, heroic, admirable existence.
Tangli hurriedly said, "No...... Yes, I met such an eccentric man, and I advised him to let the fish go, but I didn't have the courage to fight him and take the fish. β
Bernard couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: " You are wrong, I don't want you to fight with others, you are a girl, of course, I don't discriminate against girls, but girls' strength is naturally smaller, to stop that kind of extremely evil evil, we have to pay for our lives, but in the face of some small evils, we should protect ourselves, every life created by God on the earth is precious, but you must always remember that in the eyes of me and your mother, your value is far higher than the entire world, how to say it, although it is not good to say this, but in my eyes, even if God says to give up on you, your mother and I will never give up on you, so you must take care of yourself, and never give up on yourself, even if it's for us. β
Sugar Ley froze, then smiled sweetly.
Bernard smiled and said, " There are so many people in this world, and the situation of education is also very different, there are always some people's behavior that we can't understand, as long as we don't touch the moral red line in our hearts, there is no need to ask everyone to do what we ask, the world is so beautiful, not because this world is as we imagined, but because there are too many things in this world that we can't imagine, you have to learn to enjoy those things that are beyond your expectations, that is the most beautiful thing in this worldγ β
Tangli nodded heavily and smiled, "Dad, you are the most beloved person in my world." β
At this time, a lady's voice sounded next to her, and a woman who looked quite young walked in with a plate of fruit and smiled: "It turns out that your favorite is old Bernard, then my mother seems to know how many people you are ranked ......"
Tangli smiled: "Mom, you and Dad are my favorite people, in no particular order. β
Zhang Meilan stretched out her hand and pointed to the wall clock on the wall, Bernard showed an expression that she almost forgot, and then took Tangli's hand and said, "My princess, in one minute, it will be your eighteenth birthday."
Sugar Lily smiled even more.
Zhang Meilan walked over and stretched out her hand to hold Tangli's hand, and said, "Your father has prepared a birthday gift for you, no, it should be said that the ancestors of the Bernard family have prepared this gift for you." β
The smile on Sugar Li's face paused slightly, she heard a trace of solemnity from her parents' mouths, the Bernard family is a very traditional existence, so as long as the word family is mentioned, it can always make the atmosphere become solemn in an instant.
A family of three looked at the clock on the wall, and the minutes passed with the sound of ticking.
As the time hand pointed to thirty-seven minutes, Bernard solemnly removed a thumb-sized wooden boat from his neck.
Tangli was stunned when she saw this scene, and reached out to cover her big mouth.
"Father, this is the mark that only the heirs of the family can have, God himself gave the Bernard family, what are you going to do?"
Bernard smiled, "Of course, I bestowed this highest honor on my daughter." β
Tangli hurriedly took a step back and said, "No, no, I can't, I'm still very young." β
Zhang Meilan said with a smile: "You are not young, your father got this contract when he was thirteen years old, you are already eighteen years old, you should have had this family mark a long time ago, as long as this contract is there, God will always protect you, no matter what danger you encounter, you have the right to live." β
Tangli knows very well that this small wooden boat is Noah's Ark, a contract given by God to the Bernard family, God believes that the Bernard family is a rare good person in this world, so he gave this ark that can survive any disaster to the Bernard family, to ensure that the bloodline of the Bernard family will not be broken, no matter how terrible the world is undergoing great changes, the people who own this ark will be evil, of course, this ark only protects the inheritors of the Bernard family's bloodline, for those who are not Bernard family members, even if they get the ark, it will have absolutely no effect, except for decorationγ
At this time, Bernard had already hung the ark pendant around Sugar Li's neck, took the Bible next to him and put it in front of Sugar Ley, and motioned for Sugar Lie to reach over.
"But ......"
"Nothing, it's your birthday present, and we hope that one day in the future, you'll give this contract to your children as we did. This is the greatest happiness in life, if you don't accept this pendant, do you hope that we will not be happy?" Zhang Meilan's face became serious.
Eventually, Sugar Lily reached out and pressed her small, slightly fattened hand against the Bible.
Bernard smiled with satisfaction, and then opened and closed his lips slightly, I don't know what Lu Dao said, Tangli still trusts her parents' words very much and prays sincerely, when she gets up, she suddenly feels a sharp pain in the palm of her hand, and when she shrinks her hand, she looks towards the palm of her hand, and she sees that in the middle of her palm, I don't know how the road was cut open, and blood flowed out.
