Chapter 103: The Wink Family's Dinner Party (3)
"But, I ......"
Liliam seemed to be trying to defend herself, but was interrupted by Aisha.
"Lilian, don't think that your uncle is trying to steal the right to run the family with you, this is for the good of you and the whole family, you are so young, can you guarantee that you will not make mistakes? What will you do if your family loses a lot of money because of your wrong decision? ”
(Tsk.) )
Xu Shuo smacked his tongue when he heard these words.
Aisha and Ain, although these two women have the blood of the Wenk family in their bodies, they are already married outside, not even their own family, so no matter how Adam's inheritance is divided, it has nothing to do with them. However, Herschel promised to give the two men benefits, and the two joined forces to use their position as elders to coerce and lure Lilian to help Herschel fight for Adam's inheritance.
Although Lilian can choose to insist on refusing, but in this way, she will fall into the position of "going against the elders", which doesn't seem like a big deal at first, but it's like saying no to a toast to a boss who doesn't look up and don't look down in the workplace, even if she is wearing small shoes in the future, it makes no sense to say.
Aside from Ain's down-and-out relatives, Herschel obviously has more say in and out of the manor, and Aisha also seems to have control of some important business related to the Wink family.
(This is simply forcing the palace!) )
However, just when Xu Shuo felt indignant, an unexpected voice appeared.
"I beg your pardon, guys, can you hear me a few words?"
It was Bron, and that thick voice was instantly recognizable.
"Although I am not a member of the Wink family for the time being, as Miss Lilian's future husband, please allow me to interject rudely. Miss Lilion is indeed familiar with the family business, but she is still young, and it is really difficult to master such a thick and complex family business at once. ”
When Herschel heard this, his tone couldn't help but become pleasant: "Ho, does Mr. Brown think so too?" So ......"
However, it is precisely because of this that what Miss Lilien lacks most at the moment is the experience of actually running a family business. Since the inheritance left by Lord Adam will sooner or later be inherited by Miss Lilien, wouldn't it be better to let her have more exposure to the family estate while she is at a young age? Of course, in order to prevent Miss Lilien from making the wrong decision because she was young, I was assisted by Master Herschel. Although he is not talented, he has also helped his father take care of his own property, and I believe that he can provide some help to Miss Lilian. ”
It sounded like a gentle tone and a sincere tone, but it was like a sharp cone that cut through the high-pressure position of the elders led by Herschel. Bron's sideline suddenly dragged Lilian out of the quagmire of "ignoring everyone's advice and insisting on taking the throne", making Lilian's succession a "reasonable and considerate of the overall situation".
"Bron Leeds......" Herschel slowly spat out the four words, his voice as low as an attacking rhinoceros.
But after all, he could not speak ill of Bronn in the open, and there should be no visible sword on the table, which was an unwritten rule among the nobility.
The air in the restaurant fell silent.
The head chef was the first to react, and he quickly drove the butlers and cooks who were listening to the gossip by the door back to their places - the dishes had to be served before the next round of war filled the smoke.
The fourth course is the main course, which consists of a thick and umami fish steak with a few distinctive-smelling black pieces of meat, and is very delicately presented, like a small pyramid.
Xu Shuo pushed the dining cart, slowly bypassed Herschel, who had a gloomy face, gathered his attention, and turned his gaze to the smiling Bron on face.
Blood-red, -61 floated above Bron's head.
(Bron, are you on Lilian's side?) If so, why do you hate me so much? )
When Xu Shuo placed the fourth course in front of Lilian, he noticed that Lilian was also looking at Bron, and her eyes were full of gratitude.
Xu Shuo's hand movement paused, but he quickly recovered his composure, and then pushed the dining cart behind the next girl and continued to serve the meal.
However, in the next second, the girl in front of him turned her head to look at him, her face full of disgust.
"What are your hands shaking?"
Everyone in the restaurant looked at the girl.
"You've messed up the plating." The girl said unhappily.
Xu Shuo was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that the girl was talking about him, he glanced at the somewhat deformed staple food plating on the table, and hurriedly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm very sorry!" ”
"Petty, don't be rude! Do you think this is home?! The man sitting diagonally across from the girl scolded in a stern tone.
"But, this guy ...... him"
"Don't shut up yet!" The man glared angrily.
The girl retracted her voice aggrievedly, the corners of her mouth bent down uncontrollably, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.
"Brother-in-law, please don't blame Petty, it's not her fault." Herschel looked at Xu Shuo, who bowed his head and apologized, snorted coldly, and said, "This guy is the housekeeper that Lilian just recruited, young people do things too emotionally, and they don't look at seniority when recruiting." This guy has not received professional housekeeping training, and I am really sorry for delaying the guests' meals, I am the host, and I apologize to you for Lilian...... That, Mr. Xu Shuo, although you are kind to our Wen Ke family, but since you are my family's housekeeper, can you please be reliable? ”
"Sorry ......"
Xu Shuo felt very embarrassed, he should have been a qualified observer quietly, silently converting everything he heard and saw into information in his heart, but because he was distracted by his emotions, not only was he blamed, but Lilian was also belittled for a reason.
At this time, Lilian stood up, she bowed to the girl and said, "I'm sorry, Petty, Mr. Xu Shuo is not familiar with this job, but he certainly didn't mean it, I apologize to you on his behalf, please forgive." ”
The girl wiped her tears and did not speak.
"Lilian......" Xu Shuo opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, just blamed himself.
At this time, past Lilian's figure, Xu Shuo saw Bronn behind Lilian.
Bronn still had a smile on his face, but it wasn't a smile anymore, Xu Shuo had seen it countless times, grinning, showing his teeth, the corners of his eyebrows curled like two scimitars—it was a smile of schadenfreude.
Xu Shuo couldn't help clenching his fists, and his eyes became angry little by little.
(That's not right, Lilian, this guy isn't on your side!) He's not a good guy, he's just doing it for himself! )
Xu Shuo didn't think that the reason why Bronn hated himself was maybe because Bronn liked Lilian and regarded Lilion as his wife, so he was just jealous. But after coming into contact with Anthony, Xu Shuo changed his mind.
Anthony also likes Lilian, and has been angry and disgusted with Xu Shuo because of the presence of thieves like Xu Shuo next to Lilian, but after he knows that Xu Shuo is Lilian's supporter, his favorability for Xu Shuo has finally risen.
That's the real like, as long as you can be good for the other person, you can accept anything.
But Bronn hated Xu Shuo from beginning to end, the bright red number was not simply jealous, he hoped that Lilian would inherit the family property, but at the same time - he also wanted Lilian to die!
