Princess Raising

Chapter 221 Chapter 240 One: One Year Extension

Is it really okay to follow his will?Who knows what excessive demands he will make later, it is better to try to resist than to unilaterally follow Charlie's wishes.

"I don't see any connection between this." Charlie spread his hands, "I changed your surname to Wan, but I didn't ask you to abandon the Luo family that raised you. You can still be filial to them and repay their kindness for their upbringing. will stop you from doing those things."

"But... If I abandon my surname, it is considered a breach of faith. Mr. Charlie, you are not Chinese, and you don't know much about some Chinese cultures... For me, to abandon my surname is to betray my own All the relatives of the ancestor himself...so, please forgive my waywardness."

Charlie smiled after hearing these words, "You underestimate my Chinese and understanding of Chinese culture too much, I know... what you said often happened in ancient times, but now it is modern …I don’t know how much enlightened your mind is. It’s definitely not as serious as you said. What’s more, it’s for your own good to let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. When it comes to Chinese culture, the blood in your body is comparable to that of the Luo family. There is no relationship at all, and, as far as I know...the person in the Luo family who has the closest relationship with you is not surnamed Luo, but Zhou, right?"

Her heart skipped a beat. The other party had found a breakthrough in her rhetoric. In fact, she also wanted to know... Charlie's Mandarin is extremely authentic, much better than her who grew up in S City. If you say, If it is true that Charlie deliberately learned Chinese and studied Chinese interrogation in order to please Wan Yan and communicate better with her, this is a very normal thing.

In fact, Charlie has a deep-rooted love for Wan Yan, right?

Although she has always wanted to stay out of it and escape from all this, but when the difficulty is over, how can she completely escape?What's more... This difficulty is left by her biological mother in this body, and it is only natural that the mother should pay her debts.

In all fairness, from the perspective of a bystander, Wan Yan did owe Charlie a lot, so she came to pay Wan Yan's debt...is it a matter of course?
She suddenly figured this out, and felt that she couldn't be too confident about Charlie's resistance and so on.

After all, it should be her mother who made the mistake first.

Seeing that she was silent, Charlie felt that she might be speechless by what he said, so he continued to persuade: "You change your surname to Wan to truly recognize your ancestors, and... After that, everyone will realize You are from the Wan family, you are the daughter of the Wan family, you are not something they can bully at will, and you are standing behind the Wan family, is that okay?"

Luo Xue suddenly asked abruptly: "But... after all, I'm not your biological daughter, am I?" Her tone was a little deep, knowing that she might offend Charlie by asking this question, but she knew very well that the current Charlie would not The one who really killed her said, "I'm just...my mother and her lover's daughter, are you willing to admit such a daughter? You are not afraid of what others will say, are you not afraid that I will argue with brother Wancheng? "

That's what Charlie wanted, and what he wanted was their brother and sister fighting each other to the death.But...some things were actually quite unexpected.

For example, over the years, he has actually been trying to train Wan Sheng to be a cold-blooded, ruthless, heartless person, because only such a person will not be hurt, will not suffer from love, and will not be like him ... Foolishly dedicating one's sincerity to others trampled on it, so as not to have that kind of heart-wrenching feeling of heartbreak.

In his opinion, Wan Sheng's coldness and ruthlessness are still in line with his requirements, but... after Wan Sheng met his sister, some things began to be out of his control.

At the beginning when he asked Wan Sheng to go to City B to perform that mission, he also wanted him to meet Luo Xue, but he didn't want them to have anything to do with it at that time, but... fate didn't listen to him very much, Luo Xue It was an accident that Xue actually saved Wan Sheng at that time.

Another surprise is... When Wan Sheng went to G City, Luo Xue also went to G City, and Wan Sheng found out about Luo Xue's background by himself.

Perhaps, there will be accidents later, and it is these many accidents that caused the current result. Wan Sheng did not do anything to this younger sister, and there was no such thing as brother and sister killing each other... Yes, it is probably just a harmonious coexistence between brothers and sisters Bar.

This made him resentful.

But he still replied calmly: "In any case... my wife Wan Yan is the eldest lady of the Wan family, isn't she the real Wan family? As long as it is her child, they all have the blood of the Wan family. , I am her husband, so in name, you can also be my daughter."

Hearing this kind of words, Luo Xue suddenly had a very absurd feeling. This feeling is like the old concubine of her husband who had a child and called the main wife mother. She is the son of a lover, and now she wants to manage the main wife Charlie. call father?

Charlie would be gracious enough to call her father? !

How can it be!

However, Charlie's calm and seemingly considerate behavior really made her not know how to answer.

"I know...it must be difficult for you to regard me as your father." Charlie said lightly. He knew that although Luo Xue was not very smart, she was absolutely wary and hostile towards him.

There is no way... Luo Xue chooses to establish a good emotional bond with Wan Sheng first, Wan Sheng will definitely tell Luo Xue what kind of person he is, and there is Zhao Qing next to him, he wants to coax Luo Xue and also coax no.What's more, this seemingly stupid and deceitful doll still knows right and wrong in her mind.

"It's not like this." Luo Xue suddenly refuted Charlie's words, "I know... I am the daughter of my mother's lover, I am the proof that she betrayed you, you don't like me, you want to do something bad to me, I can understand your thoughts, after all, you are so good to my mother, so loving and caring for my mother, but she betrayed you, no matter what, you are the one who was hurt... My biological father and I are sorry for you You want to hurt me, you want to play with my life, I understand why you do this, but I am not a saint." She said here and took a deep breath, "I can't watch you play with my life quietly, no Resisting and letting you arrange me to a dead end. In fact, I think...if I can—" She looked at Charlie quietly, knowing that what she said would be a little shocking, but when she was really alone with Charlie, she thought When it came to Charlie's situation, she suddenly figured out something, and her mother was the one who was at fault, wasn't she...

"I want to say, if possible, I actually want to try to live in peace with you. Although I know these words are a bit idiotic, and I also know that it is difficult to achieve this point, but if you abandon everything else and don't look at it, my father and I will It’s all owed to you, and I hope to make it up to you.”

After hearing this, Charlie looked at her with a gentle expression, but gradually, this gentle expression disappeared, replaced by a kind of coldness, a kind of coldness that even Wan Sheng was far behind, it was a kind of coldness that was seen by him. The first glance seemed to feel like a cold heart.

This seemed to be the first time he took off his gentle appearance in front of Luo Xue and showed such a real look.

Charlie looked at her with extremely cold eyes, as if looking at a dead object... and at the same time, as if looking at the thing he hated the most.

"Dream." He finally gave these two words, opened the door and left.

Luo Xue was locked in the room like this, and she came back to her senses after a while, feeling that the cold sweat had soaked her back, and she suddenly understood why Wan Yan wanted to elope with someone else.

My God, if I am stared at by this kind of eyes several times a day, no matter how strong my mental endurance is, I will not be able to persist.

Luo Xue was locked in the room just like that, while Zhao Qing's rescue operation was still in full swing.

The matter has nothing to do with Wanxin and the others. The Mafia has decided on this matter arbitrarily and demanded 100 billion US dollars. The stocks in Bo Na's hands have been sold to an extreme point. I'm back, but the people from the mafia... still have no news, and they still demand so much ransom.

Old William and Bona began to argue, old William refused to spend so much money to save Niss, but to Bona, Niss was her only son and the greatest hope in her life, even if she gave everything... Bona will save Ness too.

For Zhao Qing, he finally got a piece of news.

After answering a phone call, he said to Wan Sheng: "I'm going somewhere, maybe I'll hear about them when I get back."

Wan Sheng vaguely guessed where Zhao Qing was going, without any other nonsense, he just nodded and watched Zhao Qing leave.

The place Zhao Qing went to was a private estate not far from downtown Boston, which belonged to the Byrne family.

Originally... there are no important figures from the Byrne family living here, but some people occasionally come here for vacation. After all, the environment here is quiet, and you can hide in peace. Sometimes, people from the Byrne family who come to Boston to be the leaders of the branch come back Live here for a period of time, sometimes for a few months, sometimes for a few years, but today, in this manor... a big man really came.

This manor is quite European classical, extremely luxurious and resplendent, but it doesn't necessarily make people feel vulgar.

This is the noble temperament.

At this moment... there is a grey-haired old man standing in the most luxurious living room here, he is hale and hearty, with shrewd eyes, even though his hair is grizzled, people will not think that he is weak and easy to bully, on the contrary, people will think that he is extremely strict .

"Mr. Mott, hello." Zhao Qing was brought into this room by the servant, looked at the old man with a calm expression, and said softly.

The old man turned around, the expression on his face was still very serious, but it made people feel that it was not so severe.

He opened his mouth and said lightly: "I have never been able to understand that your talent and wisdom, ideas and ambitions, etc., are no less than Charlie. In time, if you have the heart, if you can get support... No, even if you don't have support, As long as you have the heart, you can absolutely control the wind and rain in this land of North America. How can you fall in love with Luo Xue, who in my opinion is basically useless and can only be a vase?"

Although Zhao Qing is dissatisfied with Mott's evaluation of Luo Xue, he also knows in his heart that now is not the time to be dissatisfied... This kind of dissatisfaction can be kept for later, the most important thing now is to get the news of Luo Xue from this old man .

"Love is a wonderful thing, basically there is no reason at all, isn't it?" Zhao Qing smiled slightly.

The old man didn't sneer at this, but nodded lightly, "What you said makes sense...Love is indeed like this."

Although he himself doesn't know what love is, although he has never loved anyone, even his wife was only married from the perspective of marriage, and there is no real vigorous love between them. It's just a little respectful feeling that we have lived together for a long time.

But that feeling... is pathetic.

So little that even when his wife passed away, he didn't feel much sorrow, it was just a little lost. He felt that the person he had lived with for decades was gone, and the person he had been used to was gone, just a little bit lost , or just out of habit.

But... the reason why he knows about love is because one of his best sons suffers from love, and for love, which is extremely unreliable in his opinion, he abandoned everything he originally planned to give.

"So, please do me this favor, I am very grateful." Zhao Qing said sincerely.

The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked coldly: "If I say... I agree to help you, agree to tell you Luo Xue's whereabouts and let you rescue her, but what if you get engaged to my granddaughter?"

When he came again, Zhao Qing thought about all kinds of possible situations, and also thought about all kinds of possible conversations. This kind of situation was already in his expectation.He knows that Mott is not a kind person. Mott is a typical businessman who puts interests first, and basically considers his own interests in everything he does. So... If Mott helps him, then There will definitely be conditions.

And there are many possibilities for that condition. Engagement is the worst kind, and it is the kind that gives him a lot of headaches.

"I'm sorry." Zhao Qing bowed slightly and made a gentlemanly move to express his apology, "I can't do this, I can't go against my own heart to get engaged to your granddaughter, if you really force me to do it This matter is to force me to leave the Byrne family...to force me to create less benefits and wealth for you, to force me not to use my own wisdom to serve you."

He didn't say at all that doing so would make his granddaughter unhappy, because he knew that... such words are of no use to this old man, who hardly cares about his granddaughter's happiness, especially the kind who only knows how to spend the family's money to dress up and not give birth A granddaughter who doesn't make any contribution to the family... He doesn't care much about it. In Mott's view, this kind of granddaughter is born to be used for marriage, and she is useless except for marriage.

"You know me." Mott said coldly. This Zhao Qing knew that he cared about his own interests the most, so he threatened himself with his clever mind?
Hmph...Actually, it's okay to tell him. After Fansheng told him the result, Zhao Qing was about to fall into anxiety.

"I can tell you where they are, and even let you rescue them, but I have one condition."

"Please tell me." Zhao Qing knew that this time was the real condition.

"Our contract period will be extended for another year." The old man said lightly.

This condition is within Zhao Qing's acceptable range. In fact, for Luo Xue, Zhao Qing's acceptable range is very large, but... no matter how big it is, there is a limit, for example, he cannot be engaged to other people.

Zhao Qing readily agreed to this condition, the old man revealed the whereabouts of Niss and Luo Xue, and Zhao Qing left the territory of the Byrne family with a heavy heart.

Nice and Luo Xue... are in two different places.

This is exactly what Mott told him.

Luo Xue is now in Wanjia, and in Charlie's hands, this matter is very difficult.

In contrast, the matter of Nice is much easier to handle. He knows where Nice is being held, and at the same time, he also knows how many guards are there, and how many people will be sent to rescue Nice. The matter of Nice is easier to solve. The key is Luo Xue .

Zhao Qing made some arrangements for Nice, and went to talk to Wan Sheng about it.

"She's in Charlie's hands?" Wan Sheng couldn't help turning his expression cold, and the already cold person became more and more uninviting, "Hmph, I already knew that the old man would definitely do something secretly. He may be contributing to this kidnapping incident... I didn't expect that he directly sent people to him. Isn't it just right, and saved Luo Xue in the image of a savior... Now, you all owe him gone."

Obviously, Zhao Qing and Wan Sheng wanted to go together, although he really wanted to, really wanted to rush to Charlie and ask Charlie to give him back, but his rationality told himself...don't do this, it's not possible now act rashly.

Since Charlie saved Luo Xue, he will not hurt her for the time being. They should think carefully about their next plan.

But after thinking about it for 5 minutes, he still couldn't control his brain, especially the idea of ​​wanting to see Luo Xue kept urging him. After 5 minutes, he said very simply: "Don't think about it, go to see Xiaoxue directly, and don't care what Charlie has. As for the means, we don’t need to worry so much about it, let’s get the person back first, after all, I’m also Xiaoxue’s guardian, so Charlie is nothing.”

Wan Sheng suddenly sneered for a moment, "Okay, since you've already made up your mind, I have no objection."

Wan Sheng had no objection to this, on the contrary, he was in the Wan family, which was considered his territory, and he wasn't afraid that something would happen to him, so the two big men decided to ask for someone.
