Chapter 21 Gifts and Gifts

"Mom and Dad, this is my classmate Lei Luo. Qiwei introduced to her parents, thought about it and added, "I invited him to play at home." ”

Relo stood up and smiled politely.

Qi Wei's parents exchanged glances imperceptibly, and they both saw doubts in each other's expressions.

My daughter has grown so big, and she has never invited a boy to the house, but today she made an exception. Looking at the gifts on the coffee table, this little guy was obviously prepared. It's just that among classmates, do you need to bring so many things to the door?

Chivi's mother's name is Meryl, she is tall and stylish, and she is at the age when she is still charming. She works in a bank, and her income is only moderate, but because she often deals with all kinds of wealthy depositors, her heart and vision are extremely high. After a little glance at this time, she had already seen that the pile of gifts that Lei Luo bought would not exceed 20 silver bills at most, so she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Please sit down!"

"What grade is the boy?" asked Kivi's father, Bert, beside him.

"High school freshman. Relo replied.

"Oh......" Bert leaned his cane against the edge of the sofa, unbuttoned the top button of his dress waistcoat, and poured himself a cup of honey tea as he sat down.

From Bert's appearance, a little bit of Bud's shadow can be vaguely seen. is also stocky and broad-eared, but Bert has a lot more elegance than the brother who opened the martial arts hall. He is a well-known painter in Pendulum City, known for his oil paintings of figures, and is often invited by famous families to paint portraits.

The couple had just returned from an art salon, but they didn't expect to bump into such an uninvited guest as Lei Luo when they returned home. Seeing that her daughter was wearing her wet hair, she was sitting with Lei Luo intimately, and she didn't shy away from it, and she couldn't help but tie a knot in her heart.

"Which city do you live in, far from here?" Meryl asked Lei Luo as she casually took off her diamond crystal earrings.

"The mining area, it's quite far. Relo replied.

Qiwei knew that something was wrong, and was about to interrupt, but Meryl snorted unceremoniously: "When did my daughter make friends with the miners' children!"

"Mom!" Kivi was furious.

Lei Luo didn't seem to understand the meaning of Meryl's words, and smiled: "I am a student of the Dragon Horse Martial Arts Club, and Senior Sister Qiwei usually takes good care of me. I happened to be passing by today, so I came up to have a look, and I still asked my classmates for the address. ”

"Martial Arts Society Student?" Meryl's fair-skinned and handsome face quickly shrouded in a layer of gloom, glared at Bert, and sneered, "Look, it's another martial arts cultivator! Isn't that brother of yours the head of the martial arts branch department? How much money does he earn a year now? Is he almost unable to eat? Even if he has no interest, he will cause my daughter to follow the crooked path! You are a father, what is the use of a girl cultivating martial arts? Will she fight and kill people all day long in the future?!"

Meryl was avant-garde, and shared the views of a few enterprising people who believed that the ancient secret weapons would sooner or later be defeated by the power of technology, as evidenced by the rapid development of firearms and steam mecha. Meryl has always believed that technology and money are inextricably linked, and that without financial support, no matter how clever an inventor is, he will not be able to make a name for himself. And the future of the warrior has been proved by the ready-made negative example of Bard, not to mention him, even his husband Bert is not a successful person.

"What is the premise of success? mind. What is the criterion for success?money!" Meryl gently turned the agate ring on the middle finger of her left hand, and her tone was calm to almost cold, "Technology is the primary productive force, and this world is moving at a high speed like a steam train, and nothing in front of it can stop it. Wealth and mind are just as important in the future society, everyone has to learn to adapt to the new laws, and at that time, Miwu will be as worthless as stock in a garbage can. ”

Looking at Lei Luo with a little pity, she showed a smile as delicate as her makeup, pointed to the gift on the coffee table and said, "Where did the money come from to buy these things? Take them back, and if you can, you can return them as much as possible! The life of the miner's family is not easy, you are still young, and it is inconvenient for me to say some things too much." Don't look for Qiwei if you don't have anything to do in the future, just look for her, she's not the same kind of person as you. Maybe you think I look down on you too much, but the boy who is qualified to be friends with Qi Wei is probably already thinking about earning gold dragons now. ”

This time, Qiwei and Lei Luo exchanged a strange look with each other, and Lei Luo quickly stood up and said goodbye.

"No one can understand my hard work! Rely on you, what's the use of you? Since the blue rose shop at the corner of the street changed its billboard and business got better, it has begun to be a bit of a big shopkeeper to bully customers! I have not responded to the order I placed so far, and the arrogant boss actually told me that there are too many customers and I have to wait in line! If you have the ability, do I still need to look at his face......

Standing outside the door, Meryl's complaints about Bert's chatter were still coming.

Qi Wei folded her hands together and said with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry! ”

"It's okay, I'm leaving!" Lei Luo patted her on the shoulder, and when he withdrew his hand, he realized that this action was a little inappropriate, and quickly flashed away.

Qiwei closed the door and went straight back to her room, ignoring her mother's greetings.

Lying on the bed absentmindedly flipping through the book, the sky outside the window gradually darkened. Kivi turned on the light and was thinking about the morning when she heard someone talking outside.

"Ms. Meryl, I'm really sorry! We're in a hurry tonight, and we'll let you get the ready-to-wear tomorrow!" said the owner of the Blue Rose women's clothing store with two assistants, apologizing.

Meryl thought that her husband had secretly entrusted someone, so she cast an inquiring look, only to see Bert shrug his shoulders and show that he didn't know.

"How did you find it here?" Meryl couldn't help but ask.

The boss of Blue Rose took a tape measure and personally helped Meryl measure the size of her skirt, and said while busy: "The young man said that it was your daughter's friend and gave us the address here. He wants to pay the door-to-door fee, but after figuring out his identity, how can I collect it? This time, including your skirt fee, it is all free, if you need anything in the future, please feel free to tell the shop. ”

"Which young man?" Meryl became, bewildering as she listened.

"It's the young man with black hair, thick eyebrows, and a bit of a fierce look. The boss laboriously described.

Meryl immediately thought of Lei Luo, who had left not long ago, and couldn't help but be taken aback, looking at her daughter who came out of the room, but Qiwei didn't seem to have the slightest intention of explaining to her.

"What a blessing your daughter is to know such an amazing young man. The boss sighed with admiration, looking like he wished he had a young daughter.

"What's so remarkable, you might as well tell me. Meryl wondered if the boss had been fooled enough to apply such a modifier to a teenager.

The boss looked at her in surprise and said suspiciously: "Don't you know what to do? It's really luck to say, it didn't take long for it to rise to ten gold dragons an advertisement, and he had to earn at least thousands of gold dragons during that time, and then he stopped doing business, which is a pity. ”

Meryl had heard of the storm a long time ago, and admired the forward-thinking of the people behind the scenes, praising him as a rare ghost talent in the business world for hundreds of years, and couldn't help but hold her breath at the moment: "You mean ......"

"That's right, that young man is the boss behind the sale of the Echo Bug. The boss lifted his glasses and replied strangely.

Meryl fainted.
