Marvel's princess becomes king

Bella's face showed an expression of being frightened by the bricks flying from the window. She covered her mouth, frowned, and her eyes were gray, as if she couldn't bear to look back on the past. Natasha secretly pinched her again. Once, it was meant to remind her that this expression looked a bit like a lost girl, or an alcoholic girl, and it didn't look like she was being threatened by a brick.

Bella also felt that there was something wrong, her brows gradually relaxed, and the deathly stillness in her eyes was replaced by fright, and she regained her emotions.

The acting is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it doesn't matter, this is not Hollywood, as long as the meaning is expressed.

Big Ivan can scare her, and Thor's hammer can make her run away in embarrassment, but Brick? forget it! There is no way this family is afraid of that thing.

Claire Underwood asked in a casual tone: "Who could that be? Are they the demonstrators from California?"

There is already a hint of confrontation in these words. In the final analysis, I still look down on the West Coast people, but it is very subtle.

Samantha also heard it, and she pushed back without mercy: "You can't call me a protester yet. Everything is unknown. After all, our husband and wife have been in the California judicial system for many years, and we will always attract several retaliations. We are used to it.”

Her words not only showed that she had seen big things, but also implied that the Underwoods had no substantial work experience and had spent their entire lives wandering around the palm-sized place of Washington.

Claire Underwood immediately started complimenting her, talking about a few interesting things between the congressmen’s wives, and said many beautiful words to Bella over and over again. Even Natasha, who was pretending to be introverted, didn’t let go. The atmosphere of the conversation could be said to be is very good.

The Underwoods have never had children. The husband is serving as a member of the House of Representatives and a party whip to enforce discipline within the party, and the wife runs charity projects. According to the outside world, both of them are very busy, but internally they don't know.

The couple expressed their gratitude to Charlie's family for their warm hospitality, which was far from flattering, but their attitude was relatively low-key.

Eating at home is much more comfortable than a charity dinner, at least everyone can eat.

The meal was a feast for both guests and guests. Francis Underwood was recognized by the popular presidential candidate, and Bella also gave him his wife, Mrs. Claire Underwood, who is in charge of the public welfare project "Purification Water Project". Donated $.

Everyone seemed satisfied.

"That woman seems to be scolding us in her heart." Natasha asked Bella in a low voice while sending the Underwoods away and clearing away the dishes.

"Be confident and remove the image. That woman is just scolding us in her heart." Bella said nonchalantly.

She doesn't feel much guilt about reading politicians' minds.

Natasha suddenly realized: "That old woman must have taken your money but didn't praise you, so you... hold a grudge? Do you want me to tear her throat out?"

Bella rolled her eyes: "I'm not so petty, am I?"

Natasha didn't say anything, but just smiled "haha", which means you are just petty!

The two soon said goodbye to Charlie, and they had their own house in Washington.

"Charlie seems to care about Underwood's attitude," Natasha said while waiting at a traffic light.

Bella nodded from the passenger seat: "Yeah, Underwood is a heavyweight in the Democratic Party, and his support is really important at this stage."

"So what should we do if we don't understand how politics works?"

"So I have to ask him to come to Charlie quickly."

"What if he doesn't agree?"

Bella smiled extremely confidently: "Believe me, he will agree."

Natasha suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "What happened to the guy who threw the bricks?"

Bella thought about it seriously, this kind of fact was really not worth her effort to remember: "I remember...it seems to be in the Potomac River, right?"

She pointed north to the Potomac River that separates Washington, D.C., and Virginia, as if the man had some relatives in the river.

Natasha made a surprised expression, but actually she was not surprised at all: "What did those people under you do? They were really rough!"

"I remember he was an unrepentant drug addict, not a good thing. This guy chased him all the way from California to Washington just to throw this brick? There must be follow-up revenge methods. Although we are not afraid, they will suddenly appear. It’s also disgusting. If we solve it as soon as possible, we can contribute to society.”

"You wouldn't use such brutal methods to treat Senator Underwood, would you?"

"Of course not, I'm talking about the rules of the game."

"What if he doesn't want to tell you the rules of the game?"

"Then I will show him the nuclear bombs I have collected so hard. He has worked in the Capitol for twenty years. I bet he has never seen a nuclear bomb."

......

Francis Underwood has indeed never seen a nuclear bomb. He is a veteran congressman and a typical politician. He has spent most of his life playing various games in Congress.

He understands all the operating rules here. Charlie's staff hopes that Charlie will make a wise decision by bringing Francis Underwood into his camp, because the third-ranked whip in the Democratic Party has also participated in the party himself. Choose intention.

"Hillbilly!"

"Lucky man!"

Francis Underwood doesn't have a daughter worth billions, let alone live in an unknown town for sixteen years. He works hard and has great ambitions, and he won't accept things he shouldn't. Money, not much savings, he has been a member of the House of Representatives for twenty years, and now he still lives in a townhouse.

This housing condition is definitely not bad in Washington, but compared with Charlie's detached villa, this kind of townhouse that shares walls with neighbors and is even required by the property management to use the same door lock as the neighbor is too simple.

His wife was very calm and had short hands. She looked over the check signed by Bella and looked very satisfied.

"You're so rich. Did you see the look in that lady's eyes? That's a kind of..." Claire Underwood considered her words: "That's a kind of thing. I obviously want to give you charity, but for my own sake, Take care of your self-esteem, so hide your true thoughts."

Claire Underwood took off her high heels, sat on the sofa, and picked up a cigarette.

"What are you going to do? Confrontation or cooperation?" She lit a cigarette, crossed her legs, and asked her husband in a low voice.

"Rights are like real estate. Location is everything. The closer you are to the center of power, the more valuable the property is." Francis Underwood did not answer his wife's question directly.

He was holding the table with both hands, as if he was firm, but the twinkling eyes showed that he was actually a little hesitant.
