Fang Lang's words moved Audrey Hepburn beyond measure, and she threw herself into Fang Lang's arms without hesitation and gave him an affectionate kiss.

But Hepburn's mother seemed very stubborn, and she didn't even give Fang Lang, her son-in-law, face, and said directly:

"No, this will not only disgrace the Fang Lang family, but also our Hemsstra family, I will never allow such a thing to happen.

You like to dance ballet, you can dance at home, you can dance for Fang Lang, but you are absolutely not allowed to go to the opera house to show everyone. ”

It turns out that Hepburn's mother's full name is Ella van Hemsstra, and the Hemstra family is a direct descendant of the Dutch royal family, whose family dates back to the early 16th century.

Hepburn's grandfather, Arnald van Hemsstra, was a lawyer with the title of baron.

And Hepburn's father's full name is Joseph Victor Anthony Hepburn Ruston, and he is the general manager of the Brussels branch of the Bank of England.

It can also be seen from here that although Hepburn's mother's family has an aristocratic status, there are no prominent figures in the family members.

But sometimes it is often this kind of person who cares about his nobility and family glory.

As for why the other party would rather accept Audrey Hepburn to be with Fang Lang as a lover, and unable to accept Audrey showing up after becoming Fang Lang's lover, Fang Lang is also a little incomprehensible.

After listening to her mother's words, Audrey Hepburn was obviously very dissatisfied, and Fang Lang didn't have any opinions, why did you, as your own mother, stand up against me to realize my dreams.

He sat up from Fang Lang's arms again, looked at his mother with a stubborn face, and said:

"What did you say to disgrace the Hemsstra family, does the current Hemsstra family still exist? A noble bloodline that has completely declined, what is worth taking out and repeating repeatedly. ”

Young Audrey Hepburn's words were unexpectedly fierce, Fang Lang didn't expect her to say such things to her mother, although Fang Lang didn't care about the so-called aristocratic blood, but at this moment, he had to quickly stand up and stop it:

"Audrey, we have to respect our elders and don't talk to our mother like this."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to drag the other party back into his arms, patted the other party's back, and signaled the other party to be calm.

Although Audrey Hepburn obediently leaned back into Fang Lang's arms, he didn't really lose his breath, but continued to snort dissatisfiedly, "Hmph!" ”

Seeing this, Fang Lang gently stroked Hepburn's back with some amusement. Turning his head to Hepburn's mother, who wanted to continue to say something, he said:

"Auntie! Don't be in a hurry, come and sit down, and let's have a good talk, okay? ”

Hepburn's mother, who had already finished washing the dishes, glared at her daughter when she heard this, nodded and walked over slowly, sitting on the sofa next to her.

Fang Lang felt that he was holding Audrey Hepburn and chatting with her mother like this, and seemed to be a little disrespectful to the other party, so he gently patted Audrey's back, and then patted his side, signaling Audrey to be by his side.

Who knew that Audrey, who looked very well-behaved and cute, directly refused Fang Lang's request this time, still sitting in Fang Lang's arms, holding Fang Lang's neck with both hands, burying her head on Fang Lang's shoulder, and snorting softly at her mother to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Hepburn's mother was not as angry as Fang Lang imagined, but her face was not good-looking, and she coughed lightly again to remind her daughter.

But Hepburn obviously had some awkward intentions, and still buried his head on Fang Lang's shoulder regardless of it, as if he didn't know what his mother meant. This made Hepburn's mother's face even more ugly.

Seeing this, Fang Lang also coughed lightly, and whispered to the girl in his arms:

"Well, don't be willful, let me have a good talk with your mother, and see if I can convince your mother that it's okay?"

only felt that his neck was touched by two warm lips, and Audrey Hepburn reluctantly got off Fang Lang, sat down next to Fang Lang, and wrapped her arms around Fang Lang's arms.

Seeing that the girl could listen to her words, Fang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't have time to reminisce about the touch on his neck, and said with an apologetic smile to Hepburn's mother:

"Auntie, I just heard you mention the Hemstra family, is this your family? I don't know if it's convenient to talk to me in detail? ”

Hepburn's mother is not an unreasonable person, although she directly vetoed Audrey Hepburn's dream just now, she still respects her prospective son-in-law very much.

Seeing that his son-in-law wanted to know about his family's situation, of course he couldn't refuse.

In fact, Fang Lang from later generations had heard that Audrey Hepburn had aristocratic blood, but he had not seriously studied the situation, and now that he heard Hepburn's mother take the initiative to mention it, of course he wanted to take the opportunity to find out.

"Yes, our family is a direct descendant of the Dutch royal family, and my father, Mr. Arnad van Hemsstra, has the title of baron, is a lawyer.

He served as Deputy Attorney General and Assistant Judge at the Ministry of Justice in Arnhem, as well as as as the city's first mayor, and as Governor of the Dutch Guinaya colony, Suriname, South America. ”

Fang Lang was a little surprised when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect that the other party really had a real aristocratic identity.

For the Netherlands, in fact, Fang Lang has some understanding, but the understanding is also on the surface, and the most impressive thing about Fang Lang in this life is, of course, the colonies that the Netherlands has in northern Brazil, Guyana and Suriname, both of which border Brazil.

And Fang Lang from later generations, in the process of ocean voyages, will also go to the Netherlands to load and unload goods, dock at the port to rest, the most impressive thing for him is, of course, the red light district with Dutch characteristics, no, it is an open girl, no, it is a windmill.

That's right, windmills, and tulips.

In Fang Lang's impression, the Netherlands is not large, but it is a proper developed country, and the country's agriculture is very developed, especially in flower cultivation, which is the best in the world.

Of course, the Netherlands also has excellent pastures and famous lithography machine manufacturers in later generations.

He knows that the Netherlands is also a very important recipient of the European aid package. I was thinking about whether I would like to find a chance to visit the Netherlands!

I didn't expect Audrey Hepburn's hometown to be in the Netherlands, and now I might have the opportunity to go to the Netherlands to play.

"Oh! Don't you know that there are still relatives in the Netherlands? ”

Regarding this aristocratic identity, Fang Lang listened to it and passed it, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, so he just nodded and didn't continue to go deeper.

Hepburn's mother was very proud of her family, and she couldn't help but want to stand up and enjoy the praise from her prospective son-in-law, but who knew that Fang Lang didn't care about this background at all.

Instead, I asked him about his sadness. This made him look a little proud, and he became lonely directly.

"No, my brother and family were captured and executed by the Germans during World War II, and now only Audrey and I are left in our family."

As he spoke, his eyes began to reddened unconsciously, and he looked like he was about to cry. Audrey Hepburn beside her also seemed to think of something, her eye circles also began to redden, and the arm holding Fang Lang was a little harder.

Seeing this scene, Fang Lang felt a big head for a while, and hurriedly coughed twice and said:

"If we have the chance, should we go back to our hometown?"

Hepburn's mother obviously didn't expect Fang Lang to suddenly bring up this topic, and glanced up at Fang Lang with some puzzlement.

"But there is nothing left at home, even the house in my hometown has been destroyed by the war. We didn't have any objections when we went back. ”

"I see that you seem to be very concerned about the identity of the Hemsstra family, according to you, if only Auntie and Audrey are left in the Hemsstra family.

So do you have a chance to go back and inherit this title? ”

Fang Lang asked with some curiosity.

"There is no chance, the Dutch noble titles are passed on to men and not women, and my eldest brother is the last generation of Baron Hemstra, since his family was killed by the Germans, the whole family has no baronial title."

Although she didn't know what Fang Lang meant, Hepburn's mother sensed that Fang Lang seemed to be interested in bringing her back to the Netherlands. In his heart, of course, he wanted to be able to go back and see, at least it was his own home.

But Arnhem, as one of the important battlefields of the Allies and Germany, has been basically destroyed. If not, who would want to leave their homeland and wander in England?

Now that he is a host, how can he have the opportunity to return to his hometown.

In fact, what Fang Lang cared about was not this so-called noble title, but wanted to see if he could use the other party's identity to establish some relationships with the local forces in the Netherlands, and acquire some high-quality assets from the Netherlands in the upcoming European aid plan.

You must know that although the area of the Netherlands is not large, its strength is quite good, and it is worth Nice to invest in agriculture alone! In later generations, Meso and Nuoyouneng, two world-renowned infant milk powder brands, are both Dutch.

"Auntie, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you have a noble title or not, the important thing is that it is your hometown.

Now that Audrey has decided to stay with me, I naturally have to think about your life. If you wish, I can buy you a property in your hometown, such as a farm or an apartment.

Or if you don't want to go back to that sad place, I can also help you buy a property in the UK or other countries in Europe.

If you would like to settle in Brazil with Audrey and me, I would also welcome you to set up a property in Brazil. ”

Although Fang Lang provided Hepburn's mother with a lot of choices, what he hoped most was that the other party could stay in the Netherlands, so that he could lay out in the Netherlands in the name of the other party.

As for the possibility of separating Hepburn's mother and daughter, Fang Lang is not worried, it's a big deal to wait for his company's business to gain a firm foothold in the Netherlands, and then take the other party to Brazil to accompany Hepburn!

Hepburn's mother was a smart woman who had received an aristocratic education since she was a child, and he could feel that Fang Lang's words had his own purpose, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what his true purpose was.

After all, Fang Lang's every word was thinking about her.

After a little silence, she decided to go with the flow, since her daughter had decided to follow this prospective son-in-law, even if the other party looked at his daughter's face, she would definitely not hurt herself.

Moreover, she herself could feel that Fang Lang had no ill will towards their mother and daughter, which she trusted her instincts very much, otherwise it would be impossible for their mother and daughter to escape the cruelty of the Germans.

You must know that long before the Germans attacked his brother's family, she had already sensed the crisis and changed Audrey Hepburn's name to a less British one. If her brother had followed her advice, maybe his family would have escaped.

"Now that Audrey has decided to follow you, I'm sure you won't leave me alone.

So, I'd like to hear from you. ”
