I am Lapland’s rat!

"I have heard a little bit about what you did in Tremont. I believe you will not harm Chelinina."

The gray-haired old man lowered his eyes slightly.

Wu Xian knew that although Salvatore had forgiven him, he still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.

He should go.

……

After leaving the study, Wu Xian recalled the content of the two crises Salvatore said, and followed the guidance of a maid to find Lapland's room on the third floor.

When Wu Xian came to the door, the door was not closed. Lapland was standing in front of the wardrobe, hanging the items of clothing he had put in the suitcase into the empty wardrobe, including a set by Saluzzo. Her custom-made black double-breasted evening gown highlighted her identity.

"came back?"

Sensing Wu Xian's aura, Lapland turned around and smiled.

Wu Xian wagged his tail and jumped onto the dressing table opposite the bed.

The bedroom in front of me is spacious and bright. Even if it is a guest bedroom that I don't usually live in, its configuration is no worse than that of a high-end hotel.The room had been cleaned before Lapland came, and the luggage that Lapland had brought before was also brought by the servants and placed in the room while they were talking to Salvatore.

Outside the window is the back of the main building. You can see another building in the mansion not far away, with a lawn and outdoor barbecue grill below.

"What did you talk about with your grandpa from Texas?"

When Wu Xian looked at everything in the room curiously, Lapland also asked curiously.

So, Wu Xian looked at Lapland and explained what happened just now.

……

After explaining this matter to Lapland, Lapland raised his eyebrows and smiled in surprise:

"So, Xiaoyin, you made an agreement with him not to tell Texas about this, so you told me about these two crises?"

Wu Xian, who was squatting on the dressing table, blinked.

"...Uh, what's the problem?"

Laplande: "..."

Lapland rarely looked thoughtful in front of Wu Xian.

It seemed that what Wu Xian relayed about Salvatore was indeed beyond her imagination.

After a while, she said:

"...So be it, I won't tell Texas."

Wu Xian blinked:

"I believe you on this, Shushu. But, if we don't tell Texas, what will we do next?"

Lapland understood Wu Xian's doubts. She thought about it and explained:

"Right now, the most direct way for Texas to escape the fate of becoming the head of the family is to vote at the 'dinner party' and directly elect a second-generation person to become the head of the family."

"However, there are five direct blood relatives of Mr. Salvatore in the second generation, namely Giuseppe, Mossedi, Giorgia, Bruno and Angelica."

"Of these five, only Sofia's mother Giorgia's vote was easier to win, but if Texas wants to support his father Giuseppe, we almost only need to win over Bruno and Angelica, so to speak. With the support of one of them, we can achieve our goal.”

Wu Xian blinked.

In fact, although he knew about the dinner party before, he was still quite confused about the current situation.

When Lapland said this, he completely understood.

"So, Shushu, what will be the impact of my information?"

Lapland seemed to know what Wu Xian was thinking. In the room, the white-haired girl smiled softly and said:

"This is our goal. Mr. Salvatore must have predicted this before. But he allowed Texas to do this because he knew that Texas was fighting for Bruno or Angelica. In the process of support, we will inevitably encounter difficulties caused by the two crises you mentioned, Xiaoyin."

"Mr. Salvatore is counting on Texas to figure this out for itself and make the perfect choice."

"But we can keep Texas from going through the ordeal, and if you know the cause, then fix it, it's that simple."

Lapland's words reassured and inspired Wu Xian.

But Wu Xian still doesn't understand something.

"Why are you so sure the problem will be solved?"

Lapland chuckled and said:

"The old man believes that Cellinina has the key to solving the problem, so I also believe that she can make relatively correct choices without knowing anything."

"Thank you, Xiaoyin. Now that I know where the danger comes from, I feel a lot more at ease."

The white-haired girl was leaning in front of the dressing table. The dusk light outside the window was still enough to illuminate the room.

Wu Xian felt that compared to the Lapland who had just left Syracuse, Lapland at this time had become different again.

In the old Lapland, madness was confused madness.She challenges everything but doesn't know where her path is.

But now, Lapland seems to have an inherent confidence in his heart.

She is fearless because of her freedom.

Only then did Wu Xian suddenly realize——

So far, it seems that he has reached the stage he imagined at the beginning.

……

After chatting with Lapland for a while longer, it was time for dinner.

Wu Xian buried the contents of the crisis deep in his memory, followed Lapland out, and met Texas in regular clothes in the corridor in front of the master bedroom downstairs.

Lapland easily put aside the topic of what Wu Xian had just talked about with Salvatore, and the two of them went downstairs together.

In the restaurant on the first floor, someone was already waiting at the table.

Wu Xian noticed that sitting at the edge of the long table was a well-dressed gray-haired Ms. Luper. She looked like she was in her 40s or [-]s. She had a beautiful and mature appearance, and her eyebrows were very similar to Sophia's.

It seems that this is Sophia's mother, Georgia Texas.

Among Salvatore's five children, only Giorgia has always lived in the Texas mansion.

However, according to Sophia's age, this Texas aunt took really good care of herself. If Wu Xian had seen her on the street, he would never have imagined that she had a 15-year-old daughter.

"Celinina!"

As soon as she saw Texas, Georgia showed a faint smile and waved her hand, signaling Texas to hurry over.

Chapter 8 Aunt

"Good evening, Aunt Georgia. I'm back."

Texas also walked to Georgia obediently and came to Georgia's side.At this time, the gray-haired Ms. Luper had half turned around in her chair with a smile and put her hand on Texas' arm:

However, what Wu Xian, who was watching from behind, did not expect was——

At this moment, Georgia's face suddenly changed color!

"Celinina."

Sitting in her seat, Georgia stopped smiling. She stared at Texas' face and frowned tightly.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to become tense all of a sudden, Texas stood there dumbly under Georgia's gaze.

The uncle across the dining table did not dare to say a word. After looking up at Cellinina, he lowered his head and observed the pattern of the tablecloth spread on the dining table.

"Aunt Georgia..." Texas said slightly.

Could it be that Georgia already knew that Texas wanted to become the head of the family and planned to give her niece a kick?

But before Texas could say what she wanted to say, Georgia interrupted her in a tone that did not require questioning. Before Salvatore came to the restaurant, she was the authority in the entire restaurant!

"Don't talk yet."

At this time, Lapland couldn't help but stay behind Texas because of the aura spreading from Georgia. Wu Xian felt an inexplicable pressure, and many strange things flashed through his mind. He shrunk his tail at the wonderful memory and did not step forward.

Texas was the focus of the restaurant, and Georgia's frown deepened. She squeezed Texas' arm, as if she was testing the quality of the goods.

Then, under the nervous gazes of Lapland and Wu Xian, Georgia finally looked at her niece and spoke slightly, saying seriously:

"...Have you lost weight?"

At this moment, time seems to have frozen, the atmosphere of the scene is as cold as a cellar filled with ice cubes, and everything except Georgia and Texas are rendered meaningless gray in the picture.

……

"No, no? I don't think my body shape has changed much..."

"I've lost weight. I've definitely lost weight. Look at your wrists, they're a little tanned!"

"Then it doesn't matter if it's a little darker..."

"——How can this be done? Is this a darker question? You are a girl!"

"I……"

"So after being in Syracuse for so long, have you found a boyfriend? Is there a boy you like?"

"……Uh……"

"How about the family in Syracuse? Why don't you share the interesting things about the journey with your aunt? When you come back, do you just sit at the dining table and finish the meal before going back to your room?"

"Do not……"

……

Georgia's violent offensive lasted for a long time. Under Georgia's various questioning, Texas, who was not good at dealing with such situations, couldn't help but be speechless.

The poor girl wanted to look at her friend for help, but found that Lapland had already sat down next to her uncle across the dining table with a helpless expression.

Fortunately, when Georgia saw that Cellinina really couldn't answer anything, she gradually lost interest and began to look at Lapland across the table and Wu Xian on the table.

"Celinina, after a trip to Syracuse, why can't you even speak? Forget it, this is the friend you met in Syracuse, why don't you introduce me to him?"

Texas, who had been pulled to sit next to Georgia, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Her name is Lapland Saluzzo, and this is Little Silver on the table."

"Hello, Aunt Georgia." Lapland showed a standard polite smile, "Just call me Lapland."

"Welcome to Colombia, Lapland." When facing Lapland, Georgia put on an enthusiastic face again. She smiled and said to the white-haired girl:

"We also want our Texas family to do our part as landlords. If you don't mind, you can go to the dance with Cellinina..."

"..."

Wu Xian watched this scene and remembered Texas' description of Aunt Georgia when he was in Tremont.

Unlike her eldest and second brothers, Sophia's mother did not have a career. She just ran several shops under the family in Cast Iron City with her husband.

And Georgia often left those shops to family members. She relied on her status as a Texas family to hang out among the various dances, salons and tea parties of the ladies of the upper class in Cast Iron City, and used her own social skills to socialize. Proud of the huge network of people in the circle.

Sophia feels that her mother is very controlling, but from the current perspective, Georgia's control is indeed stingy.

Not to mention that Georgia's "control" was basically accomplished with her mouth. Even the loyal men she sent to Tremont to monitor and help Sophia were persuaded by Sophia in a few words.

Therefore, until now, Georgia still believed that Chelinina had just returned from Syracuse with Lapland.

She didn't even know that Cellinina and Sofia had been together in Tremont for most of the year!

……

But putting aside the need for control, Wu Xian inexplicably felt that this lady was a bit cute as long as he replaced Qiaogia with those relatives in his previous life.

After all, compared to them, Georgia at least inherited the excellent genes of the Texas family in terms of appearance, and Wu Xian has always had a high tolerance for good-looking people.

Ok.

At this time, Lapland also used clever words to reject Georgia's warm invitation that looked like a dance but was actually a blind date.

So Georgia soon noticed another creature introduced in Texas Discourse...

She focused her attention on Wu Xian.

"You, no, you are what father said..."

When facing Wu Xian, Qiaojia showed another expression, which was an implicit and polite smile when facing a superior.

Wu Xian blinked.
