Conan: I'm Not a Ghost

Chapter 656 Hughes Manor (Please vote and subscribe!!!)

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the day started early at the Hughes Manor, which was built halfway up the mountain.

The servants prepared breakfast and brought it to the dining table covered with white cloth. They lifted the heavy gold curtains and opened the windows to let in the beautiful morning light.

The sterling silver tableware shines like gold in the sunlight.

7:15 minutes.

Click.

Outside the open door of the restaurant, a girl with a round head wearing light blue patterned pajamas walked in. With sleepy eyes, she opened her mouth and yawned halfway. Suddenly she realized that it was rude, so she quickly covered her mouth and observed carefully. After checking around and confirming that no one was in the restaurant.

Patting his proud chest, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Liz, breakfast is ready."

The servant offered her a warm napkin.

"Thanks."

The girl took the napkin and smiled with a top hat:

"Where are Grandpa and the others?"

"They should wake up earlier than me."

"In the past, if I hadn't arrived at the restaurant at this time, they would have scolded me."

As the oldest century-old family, the Hughes family has its own set of rules.

Wake up time, meal time, receive guests.

As long as a member of the Hughes family has passed their 6th birthday, he/she will no longer be a child in the eyes of the elders, but should shoulder the obligations and responsibilities of a member of the Hughes family.

Usually, the elders will entrust them with some simple and innocuous matters to handle. In this way, they can not only exercise their conversational skills and methods, but also make them familiar with family affairs as soon as possible.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

On the surface, this is an experience, but in fact

This is the screening of children by the Hughes family.

Stupid, stubborn children, regardless of whether they are direct relatives of the Hughes family, will be labeled as inferior and thrown into the subsidiary company with no special contribution and no contact with decision-making levels in their lives.

On the contrary, outstanding, smart and smart children, even if they are not direct relatives, can rise to the top and enter the Hughes family. They will live with the decision-making members of the Hughes family since childhood, which will enhance their relationship and deepen the family's concept of honor and disgrace.

Everything they do is born for the family and works hard for the family.

The founder of the Hughes family believed that was the only way.

Only then can the family prosper forever.

Perfection is the motto of the Hughes family and the rules followed by family members.

But no one is perfect, and the Hughes family certainly knows that.

What they seek is not true perfection;

False mask.

For example, if there is a family member who hates beggars and likes a high-level life, that's fine.

But you can only show it in family or privately, in front of outsiders

You must reflect your sincerity, kindness, and selflessness.

"Master, they left early in the morning."

The servant bowed slightly and answered the lady's question:

"There is a meeting to be held today and they need to be present."

"So say"

The girl's eyes lit up:

"No one is home today?"

"Yes, Madam is still at home."

The servant said:

"The master told me before he left that your task today, young lady, is to continue learning etiquette, management, language and other subjects from the madam."

"oh"

The girl lowered her head, looking gloomy.

She doesn't want to learn complicated management, language, and etiquette!

But this is exactly what her family asked her to do.

No one can become successful in one fell swoop. The Hughes family will instill various knowledge, theories, and practical skills into selected members.

If you are really unqualified, you will still lose your current glory.

Cruel last-place elimination system.

The 'elites' who were selected together with the girls have all matured and can follow their elders to various cities to participate in political, business and other decision-making affairs.

Only the stunningly beautiful girl is left. She was clever and clever as a child, and she could see through the opponent's tactics and thoughts at the fastest speed, which attracted much attention.

But wait until she gets older.

Everything changes.

He is still smart, but his smartness is not used in the right way. The room is filled with comic books and game consoles imported from overseas.

What she wished for most.

It means being able to get rid of the shackles of the family and be free.

Just when the girl was lying on the table, stirring up a ball of pasta with a silver fork, pouting, kicking her calves, feeling unhappy.

"Liz, why haven't you finished your breakfast yet?"

A blond lady walked in outside the door, with a delicate face and a faint Chinese character Sichuan carved between her eyebrows:

"Have you forgotten the family etiquette?"

The girl was excited and hurriedly sat upright with her hands on her knees, her face full of cuteness:

"No, no!"

The noble lady couldn't help but sigh when she saw her posture:

"Liz, you are 16 years old."

"According to the rules, you should have gone on a blind date since last year and prepared to get married."

"Father likes you very much, so he gave you an extra year. You must work hard to repay his expectations."

"It's better to get married than stay here."

The girl muttered.

"What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing!"

The girl immediately straightened her back:

"I said I got it!"

"I'll give you 15 minutes. After breakfast, come find me in the study."

The noble lady shook her head and left, seemingly helpless with the girl's free and easy character.

The dim light of the morning sun splashed onto the girl's drooping face without any obstruction, accompanied by a burst of dog barking.

Feeling the warmth of the sun + the barking of the dog, she suddenly raised her head and ran to the window quickly

"Is this the vicious dog you're talking about?"

On the mountainside higher than the manor, Sakaki and the freckled boy poked half of their heads out of the grass, staring at the railings below, biting and fighting.

Cardigan Welsh Dog, abbreviation:

Corgi.

"Ah yes"

The freckled boy shrank his neck:

"I'm afraid of dogs"

"Speed 60 kilometers per hour?"

"ah"

"Its four legs combined are not as long as your arms, and you told me it can travel at 60 kilometers per hour?!"

Sakaki was angry.

He has never seen such a person!

I thought the Hughes family had some kind of large dog!

Been making trouble for a long time
