"Miss Beth, I hope you'll think about our agreement," Jane hung up and said to her.

Edward could see that although Jane was angry, she did not break out, but still persuaded patiently.

The reason is also very simple.

The phone call was to Beth's bank, and she was told that Beth Harmon's account did not currently have that much balance.

In other words, it's a blank check.

Beth Harmon forgot in her excitement about the $110,000 she had just thrown out.

"Joan, your attitude was very inappropriate just now, come, apologize to Miss Beth, and ask for her forgiveness!"

Seeing that Beth Harmon didn't speak, Jane rolled her eyes and pointed the finger at her partner and sister!

Now the proud girl could no longer sit still.

She jumped up from the couch as if it were a stove. "No, no"

"Joan, apologies! I say it again! You should know that my patience is limited! Jian said sharply

"But, Jane!" Joan struggled to argue.

"No, but! Joan, we swear to give everything to the Lord, and everything after that is a test for us by the Lord, and if we get it right, it is the Lord who responds to our piety. But more often than not, we walk in the world to experience more trials, so that we can always reflect on ourselves and make our hearts more pure. So you have to apologize. ”

"Okay," Joan seemed to be unconvinced.

Jane bent down slightly and bowed to Beth Harmon, "I'm sorry, Miss Beth, please forgive us for the rudeness we just had!" Joan is my partner and my best friend, and we've lived together since we were seven years old. We are not related by blood, but we consider each other to be the closest people in the world. I hope you can forgive me! ”

Beth Harmon was stunned!

She is proud, she doesn't take the rules of the world into account.

But it doesn't mean that she is a megalomaniac, a person who completely ignores the eyes of the world and only sees herself.

On the contrary, life in the orphanage has made her more perceptive and perceptive than most people in this world...... In the same way, it is more kind......

The white eyes of the world are nothing more than a way for her to protect herself.

Until a minute ago, this form of self-protection was extremely productive.

Her high intelligence, mountains of trophies, and her high demeanor kept her from most of the invasions of this world, and of course, the outermost protective shell was held up by Irma.

But now, in front of this old woman who regarded herself as extremely low, the protective shell she was proud of was instantly shattered.

Jane was still hunched.

Joan sighed and bent down as well, "Miss Beth, please forgive me for my rudeness. ”

"Yes, please forgive us and reconsider our proposal. Believe that we have no ill will, that we have no ill will toward you, that we have no ill will toward the United States, not even toward Russia and the Russians, that God teaches us to love the world. ”

"God did not hesitate to crucify Jesus for the sake of the world, so what is the small setback we have?" Jane continued.

"I, I'm ......," Beth Harmon was unusually flustered.

"Please sign it," Joan whispered, "We are all children of God, He loves us, and we love Him, and we will eventually return to the ...... of His arms."

Beth Harmon had never encountered anything like it.

she

Overwhelmed.

Edward sighed on the side, and said in his heart, you girl, you are still too tender.

Of course, the two old ladies are indeed worthy of admiration, in order to give money, or to complete the task given to them by the Lord, they do not hesitate to bow and admit their mistakes when they have done nothing wrong.

The general's routine is too suitable for dealing with a girl like Beth Harmon who is not necessarily psychologically mature.

But what kind of person is Edward, a traverser, his greatest hobby in his previous life was to study cults, no, to study religion...... Target...... Black History......

This makes him have little affection for any religion, and at the same time he knows all kinds of routines and dismantling methods.

And he was a believer, they believed in Him, and Edward was a believer!

From the priesthood, he is mainly responsible for blessing believers with longevity, academic success, career advancement, children, excellent love, and almost all the requests of the world.

But don't forget, he is also an atheist, and in the light of his proletarian brilliance, all religions are paper tigers!

Thinking of the kind smile behind the black-rimmed glasses, Edward was full of fighting spirit!

After crossing over, although I don't remember any of the major events, all kinds of "loose hands" are clear.

He pulled up the waistband of his trousers and began to get into character.

Seeing that Beth Harmon was about to run out of energy.

He quietly acted.

Look around for props.

Fortunately, in 1969, the old habits were still retained, such as the white sofa towels covering the armrests of the sofa.

Seeing that the three of them were not paying attention to himself, Edward quietly picked up a piece.

Three lanes and two lanes.

"XX is the greatest!"

He yelled.

Scare two old ladies half to death!

When they looked up, they saw Edward with a white cloth wrapped around his head and his eyes wide open, looking at them menacingly!

"I, Edward Young, am a Jewish-Chinese half-breed, and I am an X-religion. Now you are coercing my clients on the preponderance of Christianity in this country and in flagrant disregard for my religious feelings. I'm going to accuse! I'm going to expose it to a civil rights organization! You have openly preached before me, and you have slaughtered countless of my brothers and sisters in spite of the barbaric and cruel acts of your ancestors through the Crusades! xx to the greatest! ”

"No, no, it's a misunderstanding!" Jane said hurriedly

"How many of my ancestors have been killed by your ancestors in the name of the Crusades, and now you are going to use this despicable way to persecute my clients, you have blasphemed the principle of religious voluntariness, tell me, where is the headquarters of your church, I will go to the local court to file a lawsuit against you! If they shield you, I'll go to Washington and go to the Supreme Court to sue, and I'm going to fight this lawsuit to the end, and my brothers and sisters in the Middle East will support me! "There was a frenzied glint in his eyes! It was as if the next moment he was ready to do ghusl and then start a holy ♂ war.

While talking, I kept writing in my hand.

Immediately, a check was stuffed into Jane's hand, along with a business card, "Hurry up and leave, find me if you lack money!" Otherwise! Holy ♂ War! ”

As he spoke, he pulled the door open.

Jane and Joan, looking at the white cloth on his head, could only leave......

Beth Harmon's mouth was wide open......

"Okay, I'm calling for takeout, I'm starving......"

Beth Harmon curled up on the couch and did not speak, her feet on the cushions, her knees bent, her head buried deep in them, and only her blond hair could be seen scattered.

Edward calls himself to ask a fast-food restaurant to deliver a Hawaiian pizza, and he has always had a crush on pineapples.

As for Beth Harmon, it's not bad to let her be quiet for a while.

The stimulation she received in those 24 hours was too great, too severe.

The mother died suddenly, Lao Tzu asked for a house, and the god returned the money (although it may not have been deliberately chosen at this time).

Ordinary people have to breathe for a few days, she is good, I don't know which way I offended the gods, a combo came over, and ate them all, which is really sad.

Edward wiped out most of the pizza by himself, after all, he didn't eat lunch, which made him a little dizzy.

Beth Harmon, on the other hand, eats a horn to mean that it is enough.

Edward felt sad and tried to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, so he sighed and ate the rest of the pizza.

After eating, the two sat down and chatted a few more words, and Beth Harmon did not have the strong confidence she had in facing Mr. Wheatley and the two old ladies before, and seemed to have lost a lot of energy.

Obviously, Irma's death hit her hard, and when facing foreign enemies during the day, the brain will forcibly ignore the feeling of sadness, but this is like a stimulant, it can be managed for a while, and once the effect of the drug is over, the sense of loss and emptiness will be more intense.

Edward had booked a hotel in advance, he wasn't the kind of guy who took advantage of people's danger, it was one thing to like sleeping with pretty girls, but if he did it at such a time, it would be against the basic rules of life.

I don't think there's anything to say when I sit down again.

He said goodbye to her, reaching for the door in the latter's mechanical response.

"Ed ......" never wanted to be hugged in the back.

"It's all right," he patted the hand on his lower abdomen, "he...... They...... It will never be in front of your eyes again. You can rest assured. And the name of the senator also works......"

"Thank you, if you don't have ...... today," a faint voice came from behind him.

Edward could feel her clinging to him, her head resting on her back, feeling like a little koala.

"No, even if I'm not here today, you're going to handle it perfectly, you're the smartest person on the planet. Intelligence is your best weapon, and I'm just helping you deal with the follow-up issues more cleanly from a professional point of view. ”

"Ed, don't leave tonight...... I don't dare sleep alone, I think of Irma's ......"

"Uh......" This is equivalent to some kind of invitation, if you don't agree, is it still human?

……

The next day, he faltered out of Lexington.

Last night it was not as good as the beasts.

Although he knows that if he asks for it, the other party will probably not refuse, and even in this mood, Beth Harmon may take the initiative to vent her inner depression.

But how to put it, an inexplicable sense of morality has come up again.

I think it's a bit unreasonable to take advantage of people's danger like this.

Although the other party is a big beauty......

So, that night, Beth Harmon slept unusually sweetly on his arm, and finally arched directly into his arms, as if a deer in the woods was seeking the love of the mother deer.

It was a pain in his prostate......

After falling asleep stiffly, the posture level full of heads alternated with the "Heart Sutra", and this night was really magical.

The night in Lexington was destined to be an unforgettable scene for his life - both physically and mentally damaged.

But it's all worth it.

In particular, when Beth Harmon opened her eyes in confusion and looked at him with fluffy sideburns in the early morning, time seemed to have stopped.

Beth Harmon's eyes went from bewildered to a little flustered to a clear one, and finally to a grateful look, and Edward saw everything in his eyes, which made him feel as if he was much purer.

The pain in the lower abdomen has also been reduced.

"Eddard ......," Beth Harmon bit her lip, "actually...... Actually, if you want to...... You can do it...... You, can you make any requests? ”

"Any requests?" Edward rejoiced

Beth Harmon shyly burrowed into his arms, arching and arching.

"Can you let me pull my arm out from under your neck," he bared his teeth, grinning, "it's been a night......"

"Ahh

But someone's arm didn't move, not because he didn't want to move, but because he didn't listen to the call, and he was completely numb......

With his right hand, he held his left wrist and bent his left arm......

Edward rubbed his arm, and Beth Harmon lay on his chest.

"Why," she asked

"No...... Edward was helpless, "I just think that you let me stay last night, not what I imagined......"

"What do you mean by that?" Beth Harmon asked with a sly smile.

"Just as you think......" His face is not ordinarily thick, and he should naturally know how to answer this kind of question.

"......" Beth Harmon's brain is down, she is smart but has no experience with this kind of rhetoric, and she is naturally defeated.

She kissed Edward's neck: "I slept well last night......"

"I can see ......"

"So ......"

"It's time for me to get up," he patted Beth Harmon on the back, "I need to go back to New Haven for class." ”

"Oh, yes," she was visibly disappointed.

"You're beautiful, I like you very much...... So you can't escape my palm, little darling......" said Edward, sitting up from the bed and looking at Beth Harmon, who lay on her back with no ladylike demeanor

One glance at him and he turned his head away,

Loose silk pajamas, crooked on the body, the buttons on the chest are spread out, the open neckline is unobstructed, the trouser legs are receded, and the slender and slender calves are naturally separated, forming an alluring angle, as if sending a lazy and fiery invitation.

The scene is too tempting, and I am afraid that I will not be able to control myself.

After all, the old lady has just died, and this is still during the period of filial piety, and the people of the United States do not pay attention to this set, but they are traversers, and they can't be so unsophisticated in doing things.

Besides, this girl has succeeded in everything, as for when to sleep and what position to sleep in, it all depends on ...... The scale of the audit......

……

Back in New Haven, just in time for Rustberg's class.

In class, Edward looked at the beautiful teacher, but his mind always overlapped the image of her and Beth Harmon, both of whom were too similar in appearance and personality, and they did not succeed for the time being.

They say that they are sisters, and some people believe that if they are together.

His imagination fluttered......

After class, he rubbed over to Rustberg's side as usual to get tired of it for a while, the latter was used to it, anyway, there was no one in the classroom, even if he let this kid slap his hands or two, he wouldn't lose a piece of meat, and it seemed to feel pretty good?

"Ed, you missed class again yesterday"

Edward's scalp was numb, and he was most afraid of the other party asking about it.

Of course, he can lie, but in the face of the women he likes, he feels that a lie is a blasphemy against the other party.

A lie is a lie, and there is no distinction between good and bad intentions.

Truth or falsehood is an objective criterion, while good or evil is a subjective judgment.

Objective is objective, once integrated into the subjective judgment, then right and wrong, true or false will deviate from its basic starting point, at the beginning may be just a small deviation, but with the help of time, the final result will be unbearable.

This is also one of Edward's principles of life, don't lie!

Yes!

It doesn't seem to be a good match for the profession of a lawyer.

But in fact, excellent legal practitioners do not lie, but only selectively choose opinions and materials that are beneficial to themselves for dissemination.

In any case, the purpose is to deceive the audience, and the latter's approach is much more lofty, and there is no danger of capsizing.

Big deal: "My ability allows me to only see these, those things I don't see are my lack of ability, not intentional deception, in the future I will study hard, think about it every day, strive to make up for the shortcomings, and make due contributions to the development of capitalist society......"

Look, how sober and free.

And in the court defense stage, simple lies are indeed easy to be exposed under the attacks of veterans.

Therefore, the integrity education of students in law schools is not only a part of the ethics curriculum, but also a necessity for professional skills.

Facing the amber eyes that seemed to be smiling, he replied stubbornly: "Yesterday I went to help a friend, her mother died of a sudden illness, her father came to seek real estate, and she herself was an orphan adopted by them......"

"God, it's so pitiful," Lustberg sighed

Immediately, she casually pursed her lips: "She? ”

Edward was so angry that he scolded the English bullshit words in his heart, she/he/it pronounced it completely differently, why did she distinguish it so clearly! You can't be vague......

If this is Chinese, most female teachers will be moved by the other party's miserable background, and most of them will forget about gender issues.

"Hmm," he honestly admits "Beth Harmon, Chess Champion ......"

"Oh my God, I know that girl. Hey, Ed, don't you think she looks a lot like me? ”
