The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 196 The Sea Blue Gemstone
"Fonton, do you think this necklace is beautiful?" said Tortolin.

She carefully paid attention to Fang Deng's reaction, after all, she was about the same age as Ling Xiao.

Fontaine's opinion was important to her because she represented the views of young girls.

Seeing the young girl's eyes brighten up when she looked at the necklace, she felt a little relieved.

Jewelry is a gift that women prefer to receive, and most women cannot escape the attack of this gift.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she is more taboo towards her eldest daughter now, and she lost the first battle after meeting her.

It would be fine if this action was successful, but if it was unsuccessful, it might anger Ling Xiao. I only hope that she will like it as much as most women.

After starting to act, she felt that she didn't know how it would develop, so she naturally wanted the approval of one more person, so that she could increase her confidence.

"Wow! It's a beautiful sapphire necklace. Miss Linda will look very good if she wears it." Fontaine said, she watched Tortolan sticking out her thumb, expressing that this gift is great.

This is Fang Deng's true thought from the heart. The sapphire inlaid on the necklace is really crystal clear, and the style is also very generous. In her opinion, it is quite suitable for Linda's temperament. After wearing it, it will definitely make the already very beautiful Beauty is even more beautiful and moving.

She is extremely enthusiastic. Even though she felt that something was wrong with Totolan's behavior before, she would still try to find an explanation for her. Being a member of parliament is really too busy.

Isn't it just a necklace specially given to Miss Linda, it looks like a good thing: the inlaid large sapphire is very crystal clear, it should be very valuable

"Okay! Since you like it too, Linda should like it too. You can take the things there." After speaking, Totolan put on his glasses.

Fontaine knew that the congressman should take some time to see him, so he quickly closed the jewelry box, put it in his bag, and quietly withdrew.

She left here as quickly as possible, her body movements were very slight, for fear that the congressman would be disturbed because of her.

She was a subordinate of BOSS before, so she naturally knew the pressure on Totolan's shoulders, she was very tired!

During the whole process, she didn't look back, because she was very understanding and pure in her mind.

Naturally, she didn't see or notice that someone behind her was watching her go out.

If Fontaine saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

Her BOOSS looked at her figure expressionlessly.

Silently complaining in my heart: She finally left.

After secretly letting out a sigh of relief, she felt her head ache.

The moment Fontaine went out, she didn't know why she felt something was wrong.

But knowing what she was doing, she finally just pursed her lips and said to herself: This is for Melanie.

She pressed her throbbing temples, feeling a bit more comfortable, and then realized that she seemed to be ignoring something.

What would be forgotten?She found that since she got older, her memory has declined, and she didn't sleep well at night.

Ever since she was kicked out by her eldest daughter that night, she has always been angry in her heart, which is why she has nightmares for several days at night.

After letting Fontaine bring the good things over, she relaxed a little, and pressed her swollen temples again, but she still couldn't remember what she had missed.

Forget it, if you can't think of it, you can't think of it!Totolan just gave up and thought about it again. In her position, there is no need to worry about some small problems, as long as she doesn't do too much.

She is a little anxious these days. After seeing her eldest daughter in person, she knows that her original plan is basically impossible to achieve. Linda's daughter's attitude is unexpectedly tough, and she didn't soften at all when she met her. , This daughter was born in vain.

Following Linda actually wanted to inquire about the news of her biological father: this news was not good news for her, although she did not say anything more.But for some secrets, as long as she looked down, she would find unexpected answers, which made her feel quite dangerous.

The eldest daughter has no feelings for her mother. Of course, Totolan also admitted that he has no feelings for the eldest daughter.

It's fine if they don't have feelings, as long as they are not life and death enemies, but when she found out that Linda was supported by unknown forces, she realized that the relationship between mother and daughter became very tense.

The eldest daughter's intelligence was far beyond her expectation, and her performance was not inferior to that kind of specially trained elite children. She was afraid that the secret would be discovered.

Speaking of which, Totolan has never been married to Melanie's biological father, so many people don't know the real relationship between her and Melanie.

In the past, she was doing it for Melanie's benefit, so she rarely appeared with her youngest daughter in public, for fear of causing trouble for Melanie.

Although Totolan considers herself a descendant of nobles and her blood is very noble, others do not agree with her.

After all these years, the reality has worn away most of her arrogance, and she also knows that having a title is nothing special.

If you want to live well, you must have money, a lot of money.

She doesn't have a lot of money, so she can only work hard to study scientific research.

I just thought that I might get the patent of Niucha.

This is also possible.

Then Melanie will also have some capital.

She wanted to prove that the other half of Melanie's blood was also noble.

She wholeheartedly wanted to make a career out of it, but the result was not waiting for her to succeed.

She was hit one after another, first Melanie's father passed away in old age.

After finally recovering, Melanie's biggest reliance: the consortium was completely dismantled.

Although Totolan has some complaints about the consortium, it still has something to do with it, and Melanie is one of them.

In her opinion, the original consortiums were giants, just like the size of Battlestar Space, which can be said to be invincible.

But something happened before the consortiums took full control of the political situation. It was just a small incident at first, but it eventually led to the collapse of the behemoth.

The gap is too big, right?Fortunately, Totolan also realized that something was wrong at that time, and found that there was a shortage of people in the political arena, so she withdrew from the laboratory for the future.

There was no time to rest at all. Fortunately, Melanie's father gave Totolan some connections before she died, so that she could piece together a team to enter the political arena and grab benefits.

Not long after entering, the consortium collapsed and she was caught off guard. She had to be the master alone and was responsible for the future of the entire team. Fortunately, at that time, the others had no supporters and had to look at their own packaging.

After observing the contestants who competed with her, the think tanks made the simplest guess: they found that each of the competitors had their own campaign platform, and there were more or less specialized think tanks behind them.

On the contrary, Totolan has the least support, so to create a good personality for her, the team has some ideas, so they gave an idea: a strong single mother, this personality is quite good.

Originally, Totolan didn't want to agree, but after analyzing the pros and cons, she finally chose to agree, but after seeing Ling Xiao, Totolan regretted the good mother's personality.

This process requires the cooperation of the eldest daughter. It can be seen that the eldest daughter has no idea of ​​cooperating at all, she has her own ideas.

However, Totolan also had a lot of resentment in his heart, and he didn't even think about building a good relationship with his eldest daughter, and even disliked her eldest daughter.

After the mother and daughter met, instead of improving, they looked at each other even more unpleasantly. The eldest daughter also knew a lot of her dark history.

You must know that she concealed too many things during the campaign. If it is revealed, the voters who voted will be unhappy.

She herself may be included in the blacklist without credit, so she naturally cannot admit what she has done.

And the biggest threat comes from the eldest daughter. For example, if she exposes the black history, what should I do?
Anyway, she would not agree to do a paternity test with Melanie, so there was no way to prove the mother-daughter relationship.

Thinking that Ling Xiao had some of her privacy in her hands, she felt very uncomfortable.

But he had nothing to do with Ling Xiao, and he didn't dare to move if he wanted to.

Thinking about it is very angry.

After returning, she and Randy had an affair.

Plus Melanie's depression also makes Randy feel bad.

Then she and Randy thought of a good way, and now they're doing it.

Totolan also knows that this matter can only be taken slowly, not quickly eradicated.

She admitted their idea was bad for Linda, but did she care as a mother?

Do not!Tortolan breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, but fortunately, Butler Randy came up with a good idea.

Now she's thinking about one thing: Will Linda take the bait?Will she like that necklace?Maybe she doesn't like blue gems.

Tortolan felt a little uneasy at the moment, that's why she kept staring at Fontaine who went out, wishing that she could go to Linda's place with her.

As the minutes passed, Tortolin could no longer sit still. She got up and walked up and down the office, wondering where Fontaine was?

And Fang Deng, whom she was thinking about, had already arrived at the place. After she knocked on the door and came in, she looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, "I just came from Councilor Vader, do you know? The councilor asked me to bring you something. "

Ling Xiao smiled slightly after hearing this, and complained in his heart: Did she bring something for her?Tortolan will be so good?Impossible!Once someone's heart is crooked, he can't get it right again. There is a feeling that a weasel wishes JI a New Year's greeting, which is uneasy and kind.

"Dangdangdangdangdang!" As she spoke, she took out the beautiful jewelry box that Totolan entrusted her with, as if offering a treasure, and she was in high spirits. "Look, you will definitely like this gift."

Speaking of holding the box in both hands, Ling Xiao took a look at the thing, and at first thought it was a jewelry box, could it be the jewelry sent by Totolan?

Fang Deng didn't notice that the other party didn't have much interest in jewelry, so she stretched her hand forward again and said, "Hurry up! My hands are a little tired."

This was really Fontaine's idea, because the box was too heavy, and she thought: What kind of good things are used to make it?

Ling Xiao was resting, looking at the so-called jewelry box, and asked a little bored: "What is it?"

Fontaine said with a little excitement: "This is specially sent to you by the congressman to express his apology."

apology?Ling Xiao was a little surprised, heh!Tortoland!This is impossible.

Unless it's already the sun rising in the west and setting in the east.

Tortolan was basically kicked out of the apartment by her own hands.

I'm afraid that woman will hate herself to death in her heart.

She actually thought of giving her a gift?
Ah!It's better to think of a pie falling from the sky.

Of course, Ling Xiao didn't intend to tell Fang Deng about this idea.

After experiencing Fei Lida, she did not hesitate to think of human nature as uglier.

"Here! Take a look! You'll like it." Fontaine brought over what was in his hand urgently.

"Ah!" Ling Xiao wanted to say it was impossible, but he still chose to take it. The first thing he felt when he took the box in his hand: it was so heavy!
Is this a jewelry box?Is it made of some metal?But she soon sensed that the parts in contact with the outside were wooden.

So what kind of wood is so heavy?Although the wood is very heavy, Ling Xiao knows that it is generally not used for jewelry boxes.

Oriental-style jewelry boxes are mostly made of mahogany, rosewood, pine, camphor and other materials, while Western-style jewelry boxes are mostly made of cherry wood, maple, walnut and other wood.

Ling Xiao took a look at the jewelry box, it was of Western style, and the wood should not be so heavy, even if someone made it with MDF, it didn't look like it.

So what will it be?She felt something was wrong in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, and looked at the box with a slight smile.

Ling Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Fang Deng who was very excited and asked: "Is this a good thing that Ms. Vader asked you to send?"

"That's right! Linda, why don't you open it and have a look, the jewelry inside is really beautiful." Fang Deng said.

At this moment, she looked at it with a bit of joy, her eyes were also smiling, she was very happy.

Ling Xiao reached out and was about to open the lid when she suddenly stopped.

She turned on her cell phone and called Tortolan.

Totolan on the opposite side was a little anxious and restless.

She almost jumped up the moment the phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID on it, she hesitated for a moment, unwilling to answer.

But thinking about their previous plan, she still grabbed her phone after wiping her hands.

As a visual phone call, I still hear the voice first: "Ms. Vader? Is it the jewelry box you sent over?"

As soon as Totolan heard that he was asking this question, he said directly: "Yes, I gave you this necklace. I hope you like it."

"Oh! Is it this sapphire necklace?" Ling Xiao opened the jewelry box at this moment, grabbed it and put it in front of his eyes and asked directly.

Totolan on the opposite side smiled after watching this action. Her expression was very amiable, showing a very happy smile from the heart.

"Yes! I hope you like it. I think blue is more suitable for you. I will give you a full set when I have a chance." Totolan's tone was also very kind.

Fang Deng was very excited at the moment, his eyes were very bright with a little excitement, and he clasped his hands on his chest, looking happier than Ling Xiao.

And Ling Xiao said lightly: "I don't need jewelry very much, just leave it to the person you like! But thank you for your generosity."

When she said this, there was a bit of sarcasm in her words, she glanced at Totolan and said, "Goodbye."

Totolan on the opposite side never thought that his daughter would hang up her arc, and he was a little unhappy.

Because she knows the tricks, it's a little embarrassing, this daughter is very straight!
She had to do this for Melanie's future, she clenched her fists.

Anyway, this daughter is not polite to her, it is tantamount to being born in vain.

There is no love for mother at all.

Fang Deng was a little dazed at the moment.

She couldn't believe her eyes, Linda also had another side.

Ling Xiao simply focused on the jewelry box, regardless of what Fang Deng thought.

After the box was opened, her intuition told her that there was a ghost here, so she glanced at the contents.

It was a platinum necklace with a polygonal pendant, a crystal clear aquamarine gemstone.

Ling Xiao took a look at the necklace, which looked very nice. She didn't know much about gemstones.

After all, there are many kinds of gemstones, and she can only feel it from the color, clarity, and brilliance, but she can't figure out what type of gemstone it is.

So where is the danger of this gemstone necklace?Ling Xiao soon realized that the weight of the jewelry box was wrong, so she thought of a possibility, which was a suspicion.

Ling Xiao's first impression was that he thought of the heavy metal lead for radiation protection. Could it be that the lead box was covered with a layer of wood?And why use lead boxes?Soon she had a certain guess.
