Chapter 213 The Marriage of the Stoke Family ([-])

On the outskirts of Edinburgh in Manchester, on a vast plain, there is an exquisite shrub forest. The shrub forest is in the shape of a crescent moon, enclosing a huge mountain-like white and black mansion, stacked on top of each other, as solemn as a castle, like a palace A generally elegant and huge mansion, even a bird needs 15 minutes to meander through it. The junction of the mansion is an elegantly manicured garden with various exotic flowers and plants. The cyan marble floor extends from the giant fountain in the center of the garden to the heated distance. horizontal avenue.

The vast lawn is spread around the mansion. The emerald green artificial lake and the quiet pure black helicopter on the apron next to it are harmoniously integrated with the surrounding nature. The tranquility flows in the air. At the end of the artificial lake, there is a small The villa, the clear blue swimming pool, the four-storey luxury villa with a viewing platform, is brightly lit at night, together with the colorful spotlights at the bottom of the artificial lake next to the inner swimming pool, and the lights of the huge mansion not far away The brilliance of each other has become the most beautiful scenery in the wilderness of the night sky.

Su Lun walked on the Scottish wooden bridge above the artificial lake. The sky was blue and clear, and even the wind blowing across his face could feel the rare coldness in this summer.

Walking ahead were her two cousins, Richard and Scheffman, elegantly attired and handsome, turning around from time to time to look at the handsome Su Lun behind them with a light that was hard to see.

Su Lun is their most boastful sister, because even though they are nobles, they have never seen such a beautiful girl. Su Lun's beauty is enough to make any woman who has seen her jealous. The man was moved by it, and even his elder brother was proud of having such a younger sister.

Richard turned his head. On his epaulettes was the Order of the Knight of the Eagle Empire. This was just obtained, which was enough to make his father change his view of his elder brother's character, "Su Lun, I didn't expect that my brother just returned from serving in the army. , you can hear the news that you are going to get married. That is really gratifying, in fact, your beauty, even my brother is very jealous of the little noble who is going to marry you, it must be very happy, I only hope, The Smith family hopes to be as elegant as their earl title, I heard that their ancestors were blacksmiths, I hope the shield they cast can withstand the beautiful stabbing of my Damascus-patterned steel sword!"

Scheffman and Richard laughed at the same time. When a prominent duke family overlooked an unknown earl family, it was so arrogant.

Scheffman glanced at Richard's saber, revealing the sword with a golden diamond engraved handle, which made Scheffman a little jealous. After all, there were gold leaf pieces specially embroidered by the royal family on it, which reflected in the sun. The dim light made Scheffman unable to open his eyes.

Su Lun smiled slightly, "Thank you for your blessing, my brother. But now is not the time to show off your gorgeous long sword and elegant aristocratic demeanor. If we don't go to the family elders meeting, we will be late."

Richard was a little embarrassed, he laughed dryly, and Scheffman walked towards the white and black mansion first.

Fifteen miles of top luxury vehicles lined up on the driveway in front of the mansion. All kinds of gentlemen in pure black suits and high bun hats stepped out of the cars one by one, looking up at the sculptures on the top of this tall and gorgeous building. With the exquisite violet logo on his back, he walked towards the luxurious mansion that represented the great glory of the Stoke family.

The floor made of platinum, the golden chandelier and the crystal ceiling above the head make the whole hall beautiful. On the long round table with dark patterns, there are candlesticks made of bright gold and silver half-moon flower baskets. Inside, it is decorated with various dewy flowers plucked from the flowerbed, and delicately carved benches with various decorations, each of which is different.

All the gentlemen who came in found their seats and sat down after the servants took the walking sticks and tall hats.

After Su Richard and Scheffman came in, they sat on the last three vacant seats, facing their father, the heir to the Stoke family's hereditary title of nobility, Barmale, Duke of Manchester Stoke .He is also the leader of the fifteen family members present.

Seeing Su Lun enter the door, there was a commotion among the people present.

A grinning old man looked at Su Lun and laughed in a hoarse and heavy voice, "I didn't expect Su Lun from our family to get married, Uncle Whitman blesses you."

Duke Bamar just glanced at Su Lun, and hummed from his nose, "You don't have any ladylike demeanor in our family, you are simply a rough commoner now! How dare you go to other distant countries alone Go, if it wasn't for your fiancé's message, we would have thought you had disappeared from this earth!"

There was a burst of voices from the surrounding family elders, and they all tried to persuade Bamar.

"Forget it, Bamar, let alone Su Lun," an elder stood up, "Hehe, don't forget that when you were young, you also went to that magical eastern country and brought back a What about a beautiful oriental woman. Although Angela has passed away, and although we elders have prevented the marriage of the two of you, it is undeniable that Angela is indeed very beautiful, and our Su Lun is also very beautiful. Like her mother, she is a beautiful princess."

The elder looked at Su Lun, lowered his head slightly, "Anyone who has seen our beautiful Su Lun will never forget it, so the eldest son of the Smith family, who also has oriental blood, naturally has a soft spot for our Su Lun." , but we hope that their dowry can be delivered within three months of the wedding!"

Bamar glanced at the elder, then turned to ask a bearded gentleman next to him, "Uncle Reba, how are you doing, have you sorted out the family's finances?"

Reba raised his head, the notebook in his hand displayed a series of numbers, and said with a sigh, "Our 45 companies have already experienced financial deficits, and 45 of them are listed companies in the Pacific Federation. The turmoil is getting worse, and it is facing the danger of bankruptcy. However, the turnover of our main "Goddess Heart" seven-star hotel and its affiliated groups has begun to decline significantly. The operation of this family, but according to the current trend, there will always be a day when Goddess Heart can't hold on. And our [-] companies are in danger of losing their entire vitality, leading to total collapse!"

Reba paused, then looked at Su Lun, "So, the wedding should be held as soon as possible. It's best to be two months in advance."

Su Lun's whole body shook, he clenched his fingers, buried his head, and couldn't see any expression.

Bamar looked at Su Lun who was silent, and gritted his teeth, "The wedding date remains the same, it will be held in four months!"

Reba was anxious for a while, "Duke! I'm afraid we won't be able to last for four months according to the ability of the Goddess Heart! Now all the funds of the family have been invested in the Goddess Heart, but we can barely maintain it. If there is no more If a large amount of capital is injected, the heart of the Goddess will lose her vitality sooner or later while the entire economy is in decline, and by that time, our family will be finished!"

"But I am also responsible for my daughter's happiness!" Bamar became excited and looked at Su Lun, "Su Lun, it's not that my father doesn't respect your happiness, but that the fate of the whole family now depends on you In your hands, father can only promise you here, and I can mobilize all the strength of the family to support it for four months. If our economic lifeline has not improved within these four months, then. Su Lun, father is sorry for you!"

Su Lun raised his head, his face was full of tears, "I'm not sorry, father, for the sake of the whole family, Su Lun's sacrifice is nothing, I beg. Advance my wedding two months."

I'm sorry, my lover who is far away in another country, I will hold a wedding in this life, and we will meet again in the reincarnation of the next life. At that time, I am not a princess, and you are not a prince. We will be two ordinary people, comfortable and happy live together and never be apart.
