Shi Huaiya noticed a middle-aged film male among these people, and the expression on his face instantly became a little gloomy.
Bai Hua at the side noticed the change in Shi Huaiya's expression, but it was inconvenient for him to intervene in the family's internal affairs, but silently remembered Shi Huaiya's expression when facing her 'father'.
The seats in the banquet hall were filled one after another. Most of the expressions on everyone's faces were a kind of usual silence. Of course, there was still some tension hidden in it.
When the Patriarch Adams opened the door and entered the banquet hall, the originally quiet atmosphere became completely silent. Everyone consciously stopped talking and focused their attention on the Patriarch who was slowly arriving in front of the seat.
"Keep everyone waiting, the IV is taking longer than expected."
Adams tore off the bandage on the back of his hand and sat on the only seat that could identify the owner without a logo.
"Thank you for taking the time to attend the regular family reunion. Some people may have noticed that this year's banquet is relatively special. On the one hand, we failed to invite the partners of Londinium, and on the other hand, Bitui Max Schwartz attended this banquet after a long absence—with his boyfriend."
Adams looked at Bai Hua, and because of this sentence, everyone at the dining table looked at Shi Huaiya and the gray wolf with different eyes beside her.
"Grandfather, about Londinium—I think we should also actively participate in the change! Victoria is no longer the era of Draco and Aslan, and those lords don't even want to take back Londinium ——As the Shi Huaiya family, we have an obligation to interfere in political actions and take Victoria back!"
Aaron was one of the few who didn't look at Bai Hua. Instead, he talked about his views with Adams in a serious manner.
"The Shi Huaiya family has not yet participated in political activities, and the king we originally 'served' has long since left—but if you become the head of the family, these will no longer be problems."
Adams looked at Aaron and snorted softly.
"I know that many of you are thinking about who will inherit the Shi Huaiya family. Many people have even begun to recruit candidates to prepare themselves for the next step-but the banquet is just a banquet, put it away for me Those childish fights. Now is not the time to talk about those things."
Adams' tone is unquestionable, it is the degree of 'command' at all.
Some people seemed to hear something in the Patriarch's words, and their eyes became a little evasive.
"So--"
Adams raised the wine glass on the table, and the others followed suit.
"To Victoria, to King Aslan, to Beatrix's return, and—to her unidentified boyfriend from Longmen who has nothing to do with nobles."
-
"Isn't he a nobleman?" "What's the matter with the unknown identity?" "That Lupus boy?" "So, it seems that there is indeed a strange aura of a bridge hole...?"
In the last paragraph of the toast, Adams almost undisguisedly shifted the topic to Bai Hua, and everyone's eyes and sights focused again.
These nobles didn't know if they were trying to alleviate the embarrassment of Adams seeing through their little plans, and they all started pointing at Bai Hua along the topic.
After all, the Shihuaiya family can be said to be the leading aristocrat in Victoria, and the partners that their descendants are looking for are basically nobles and wealthy businessmen from the local or other countries.
Even the maids in the Shihuaiya family, almost 7% are children of some small business families.
Under such a big environment, as the "once semi-appointed heir", Beatrix Shuaiya actually chose an ordinary Lupu boy without any identity background, which made everyone present They all murmured in their hearts.
Among these gazes, the eyes from Shi Huaiya's "father" are particularly dazzling. There is almost no element of "family affection" in his expression towards Shi Huaiya, only disappointment visible to the naked eye, and some kind of resentment.
"What do you know—"
"Calm down, miss."
Facing these harsh discussions, Shi Huaiya was about to stand up and debate with everyone, but was immediately pulled back by Bai Hua beside her.
"The head of the family is right. I am indeed not an aristocrat, and I have no status worth mentioning. I will never be as elegant and decent as you are, and I will never be able to spy on such a powerful and prosperous Shi Huaiya family."
Bai Hua replaced Shi Huaiya, and he spoke softly. Although the volume was not loud, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Different from everyone, I am so ordinary, the only shining point in my life is the moment I met Miss Shi Huaiya."
"For me, Miss Si Huaiya is the only shining star. She doesn't care about my mediocrity, nor does she care about other people's gossip. I thought that Victoria had once performed "Romeo and Juliet" by the Scarlet Troupe. And a pure love story only exists on the stage, but the fact is, she came into my life, dazzling, warm and reassuring."
"I will use everything I have to protect the princess. This is the oath I made for this pure and innocent relationship. I also hope that everyone can witness and believe that once the script on the stage can come to the family of Shi Huaiya. middle."
Bai Hua stood up gently and bowed to everyone, and as he continued speaking, the gossip and gossip that had been whispered before disappeared in an instant.
Everyone was intimidated by Bai Hua. On the one hand, Gray Wolf's words sounded sincere and contagious. When he said these words, Gray Wolf's temperament was even more decent and elegant than these nobles.
And on the other hand, no one wants to be the first to say that they don't like a scene from one of Victoria's classic operas, because that would make them appear to have no taste.
These people can only look at Adams, wanting to know what kind of attitude the Patriarch has towards this gray wolf, and then they will wait for the dishes to be served.
Only Aaron blinked, and the eldest man had an expression of "how come I'm the only one who hasn't seen that stage play".
"Good answer, Bai Hua."
Adams smiled, and raised the wine glass in his hand to Bai Hua, and this action also temporarily indicated that he decided not to pursue it for the time being.
Now that the Patriarch has made his position clear, others have put away their hostility and indifference towards Bai Hua. Of course, some nobles still have obvious disdain for common people.
"That's it for the time being, Miss—"
"I...I am willing...!"
"what?"
Bai Hua breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Huaiya, but the little tiger had already entered the play completely, and directly agreed to Bai Hua's "confession".
After all, no princess can refuse a knight's invitation—even if the knight barks at every turn, still owes money to buy a white horse and a long sword, and is always a fisherman.
------
After Adams' dismounting was temporarily fooled, the banquet finally started, and the dishes were served in order. At the same time, the nobles sitting at the table began to talk about their latest situation and actions one by one.
Most people's content sounds the same, nothing more than where to invest, where to drink and eat with high-ranking officials to enhance their relationship, or to show off what glory they have won and how much money their companies have made.
Bai Hua was so drowsy and in agony when he heard it beside him, it was fine that these words were annoying, but the biggest problem was that there were so few dishes on the plate that they were served.
——I always feel that this little thing is used to feed the snow pheasant, and the unlucky chickens are not enough to eat...
Bai Hua fiddled with a piece of asparagus on the plate with a knife and fork with a look of embarrassment. He could kill it in one bite without taking 0.2 seconds, but the problem was that he couldn't lick the empty plate for several minutes after eating it in one bite.
"Haha... have family banquets always been like this?"
Bai Hua sighed generously and asked Shi Huaiya next to her if this kind of torture would happen every few years.
"I don't know, I just came back."
Shi Huaiya, who failed to do a good job of 'dish resource planning', has fallen into the embarrassing situation of 'ummm licking the plate', and she responded somewhat angrily.
"It's almost like this. After all, this is the only gathering in several years, which is regarded as a meeting to report on the work situation face to face. For most people, it will still be treated as a meeting."
Beyoncé explained to the two.
"I can't find the slightest similarity between the feeling and the imagination."
Bai Hua complained in a low voice, he originally thought that the so-called family meeting was like when Lao Li was cooking in the detective agency, when everyone would gather at a round table full of dishes, bragging and chatting while eating.
Bai Hua misses that time very much, not because of the lost youth, but simply because Lao Li stopped doing things like this later, and the reason is "you are too fucking good at grabbing food"
"I'm currently researching Casimir's knight competition, and I have obtained a large number of samples. Then I invested in a new energy company. They are said to be looking for pure energy that can replace the origin stone, although I have not contacted for 2 months I'm sorry, but if this project is successful, the problem of infected people will be greatly alleviated in the future!"
—Brother, you have been deceived...
After Aaron talked about his recent work, Bai Hua murmured inwardly.
"Luhu's production line has expanded by 3, but the car types are still too single. Next, I will consider going to RIM Billiton during the university vacation to see if I can expand the manufacturing channel of medium-sized cars."
Aaron and Beyoncé finished talking about their situation during this period, and then it was Shi Huaiya's turn.
"I'm at Longmen—"
"Wait, Beatrix."
Shi Huaiya was interrupted by Adams just as she spoke.
"Why don't you let this young Luper tell you what you have experienced in Longmen, I am more curious about this. And as a boyfriend, you should also be very aware of Beatrix's actions, aren't you?"
Adams looked at Bai Hua and asked Bai Hua if he could talk about his mental journey during this time.
"I understand."
Bai Hua nodded and smiled.
I didn't expect that the confession with Shi Huaiya in the hotel was really useful. Bai Hua is not talking nonsense, he has a bear this time.
Gray Wolf talked about Shi Huaiya's work in the Guard Bureau, managing the slums, facing the integration movement's invasion, organizing joint exercises and so on.
"—yes, you're doing well at Dragon Gate, Beatrix."
After listening, Adams nodded.
"Then let's talk about you next, Bai Hua—"
Adams suddenly turned his finger on Bai Hua.
"What is your job at Longmen?"
Since Bai Hua had confessed to this before, Bai Hua also answered decisively.
"I'm an elite private investigator. I run a detective agency. There are black doctor cats and cats who say 'Patient's death is an autopsy', plush dogs who say 'Stand behind Ah Hum!', and 'I want to hit ten A!' Kung Fu Tiger. Oh yes, there is also a single salted fish who eats two packs of fish food at a time."
Bai Hua moved her mouth, and instantly turned the hair of the old Li Detective Agency into her property.
"That's right, but I heard—your financial situation doesn't seem to be very good, and you have been in arrears?"
Adams' tone was a little teasing, but the words he said were fatal.
"Arrears?" "Really or not..." "What is arrears?"
Sure enough, when they heard about Bai Hua's financial situation, the nobles once again set their sights on Bai Hua.
After all, when someone who owes money falls in love with a rich woman, everyone will suspect that there is something wrong with the motive of the debtor.
"Shy, you, where did you hear that, Lord Adams? Someone is going to frame me, right?"
Seeing that Lao Lai's true nature is about to be exposed, Bai Hua quickly bites the bullet and pretends not to admit it.
"I also know a friend in Longmen. He seems to know you quite well, but I don't know if you know him——Wei Yanwu, is this name familiar?"
"Ah—" "Mr. Wei!?"
Bai Hua made an embarrassing sound, while Shi Huaiya's eyes widened beside her.
"Why does Chief Wei know so much about your situation, Bai Hua?"
Shi Huaiya looked at Bai Hua in confusion.
Ordinary Shi Huaiya has almost never communicated with Wei Yanwu, and because of this, the little tiger doesn't know the relationship between Bai Hua and Wei Yanwu at all.
Originally, from the little tiger's point of view, the relationship between Wei Yanwu and Bai Hua should be the same as his relationship with Wei Yanwu, which belongs to the level of knowing that there is such a person, but almost no intersection.
But the little tiger didn't know at all that Wei Yanwu not only knew Bai Hua, but also knelt on the washboard many times because of this old gray wolf.
As for why Bai Hua knew Wei Yanwu——
"Uh, this...how should I put it..."
After being crowned the heir of Wei Yanwu's Imperial Dragon Gate, Chen Huijie who could almost be regarded as a daughter, Bai Hua rubbed her ears in embarrassment.
——You Wei Er Er, you still don’t forget to stab me in the back at this time, don’t you! !
------
"I've already told Adams that that gray wolf is full of flaws, and I hope to throw it back quickly—is that all right, Wenyue?"
Longmen General Administration, Wei Yanwu asked Wei Wenyue in a low voice with cold sweat on his face, and glanced at the unshelled durian in Wenyue's hand from time to time.
"Baihua can be taken away under the eyes of the Guard Bureau—you repent, Yanwu."
Wen Yue slowly approached with the durian in her hand, feeling a strong sense of oppression.
"Wait, wait a minute, Wenyue... That guy Adams will definitely throw that dog back! After all, that dog is really useless and has no advantages—"
Wei Yanwu hurriedly raised his hand to try to calm Wenyue down.
It was a good day, Wei Yanwu and Mrs. Wenyue were eating hot pot and singing, but Adams suddenly called.
At first, Wei Yanwu didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard that Shi Huaiya took Bai Hua back to Victoria, everything changed.
"You can't even recognize the excellence of others, it seems that you have become much older than before, Hikogo."
"No... well, that's not what I meant—"
Wen Yue glared at Wei Yanwu who spoke ill of Bai Hua, then raised the durian in her hand.
"Since you are so good, let's kneel down on durians from today onwards. For an elite you, you should be more than capable, right?"
Wen Yue snorted coldly, and punished this idiot Long Clan who couldn't even take care of his son-in-law under his feet.
"Wait a minute, Wenyue! I really didn't mean to—"
——Hurry up and come back to me, you bastard, don't be solicitous outside! ! !
Bai Hua and Wei Yanwu cursed each other from the bottom of their hearts at the same time, this wave was going in both directions.
