Although I don't like this "Her Royal Highness" any more at the moment, but in front of his father and master, it is always difficult to show it on his face. He just smiled, hesitated for a while, but still didn't shake off her hand, just smiled and said, "That's right."
The princess straightened her hair immediately, and then smiled at me quickly: "Okay, I'll take you to meet some friends." Then she pulled me away.
I quietly glanced at Yang Wei, she didn't express anything, but had an inscrutable smile on her face.
After I was pulled away by the princess, this woman immediately gritted her teeth and asked with a business that only I could hear: "I haven't asked you carefully, how did you know this woman Yang Wei!"
Look, in just a short while, in the princess' mouth, "Wei Wei" became "this woman Yang Wei". It seems that women's jealousy comes faster than anything else.
"It's nothing, just a friend I met inadvertently before." I deliberately replied casually.
"Hmph!" Sophie snorted, "Hmph, met by accident? Don't think I'm a fool! You've only been in Canada for how long, and how could you have the chance to know her? She always has eyes on the top of her head, usually He is cold to others, but he seems to be very affectionate to you."
There was some questioning in her tone, I stopped immediately, glanced sideways at her, and said slowly: "Your Highness... I think you need to understand something. I am your guest, but not your subordinates And the follower... So, I think about my private affairs, what friends I know, there is no need to report these to you."
…
"A woman like Sophie is a typical woman who is hardworking but not soft. The men she has always found have always followed her and coaxed her. But with her character, she is the kind who is naturally unwilling to be lonely, but full of curiosity. The heart likes novelty. Now you are like a toy that she likes but can't get. If you behave appropriately, you will be more proud and tough, which will stimulate her feelings for you even more, and will make her feel more comfortable. Make her think you're 'different'."
…
Facing my tough attitude, sparks flashed in the princess's eyes immediately, but then, as Yang Wei predicted, she softened quickly... The anger on her face disappeared in a flash, and then she seemed to be working hard. Suppressing his anger, he changed to a soft voice instead: "I... just asked casually, just curious, as if you know everyone... Qiao Qiao was like this last time, and this Yang Wei is like this now."
Then we had a few more casual conversations, and I just responded with some neutral words, but the princess only had a flash of anger in her eyes at the very beginning. But later on, her expression became more and more gentle. In the end, I even felt that she seemed to be flattering at all.
And in her eyes, the strange brilliance became more and more intense.
I am very familiar with this look.
It's like a drunkard sees a good wine, and a pervert sees a stunning beauty.
A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is as good as not being able to steal!
What is not available is always the best.
These words are not only applicable to men, sometimes they are also applicable to women. Especially a woman like a princess.
The princess and I walked around the banquet hall casually, and chatted with some guests for a while, but most of them were not important people. And the princess's skills in this aspect are obviously worse than Yang Wei's by more than one level, far from Yang Wei's exquisite appearance. I also find it quite boring, and I obviously feel that the eyes of others looking at me are somewhat weird.
Especially those young men.
I even guessed maliciously in my heart, wondering if these men slept with the princess
I found that the eyes of Mr. Sorin who was standing in the distance drifted towards us more and more times. The eyes of this old guy are a bit complicated.
I later found out that the performance of the princess at this banquet was quite different from usual! In normal times, on such a similar occasion, the princess should be walking alone among many men. Even though I know she's a slut - oh, excuse me for using that word. But after all, most people don't know that she joined such an "organization".
She is indeed very beautiful, God gave her a beautiful face and a seductive figure, as well as a prominent background. What's more, this beauty is also "famous"! Naturally, a lot of men are interested in her.
But today, she stayed by my side all the time, her expression didn't dare to show a trace of impatience, and she talked to me softly, with a very gentle and obedient look, as if she was trying her best to be "harmonious" with me. " look.
In fact, I know that one of the most important reasons for the princess to make such a gesture is because Yang Wei is on the side! The princess's demeanor is undoubtedly intended to show Yang Wei deliberately, and to demonstrate to her.
A typical little woman is narrow-minded.
"Okay, my dear." Sorin let her daughter pull me back around the field, and finally said: "You have occupied our young man for a day, can you give him back to me now? , we still have some men's topics to talk about."
Although the princess was somewhat reluctant, she did not disobey her father.
"Okay, now we can talk, young man." Sorin looked at me meaningfully, and then he smiled slowly: "You were picked up by Sophie when you got off the plane yesterday, I know it's very impolite , please forgive my daughter's capriciousness. I know you and Mr. Fang must have a lot to say... How about it..." He smiled and said, "In about twenty minutes, my game will be held in the reception room inside. I'll save a spot for you."
Ba Ye glanced at me and nodded: "Okay, please go ahead, we'll be there in a while."
I know that the small reception room in Mr. Solin's banquet is the real "VIP" he invited, and most of the guests outside are just people who show up.
Suo Lin seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally said to Yang Wei: "Dear Wei Wei, you and I go in, I think there are a few guests here, maybe you will be very interested in meeting them, besides, I have some things to do, I want you to tell your father..."
I laughed secretly in my stomach... Old Sorin couldn't help it anymore, it seemed that he saw that Yang Wei and I were getting a little close, so he deliberately took the opportunity to transfer her away, so as to reduce the time of contact with me.
As soon as they left, Ba Ye immediately pulled me aside and said in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, how did you know that woman?"
"Yang Wei?" I smiled, "I met him when I was in China."
"Do you know who she is?" Ba Ye's face was very serious.
"Well." I said casually: "She should be from a Chinese family in the United States. It is said that her family should be a group that operates the gambling industry."
"Yes...she seems to be very close to you?" Ba Ye asked tentatively. I didn't guess what Ba Ye meant when he said this, I just said vaguely "It's okay", but I didn't expect a strange light to flash in Ba Ye's eyes, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he patted hard My shoulder: "This woman named Yang Wei is not easy! Although I haven't dealt with her before, I have heard of her name. Well, you know her, then maybe in the future..." He suddenly closed his mouth , his face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Let's talk about the future."
He also seemed to realize that he had lost his composure just now, and immediately covered up: "Oh, were you with the princess last night?"
"No." I replied honestly, "I had some trouble with her yesterday, and she sent me back to the villa and left by herself."
"Unpleasant?" Eighth Master frowned.
"Well, you know, women are sometimes inexplicable."
"The timing is different now. You'd better not provoke this woman..." Eighth Master suddenly smiled, as if smiling generously: "Oh. Don't get me wrong, I don't want you to deliberately cater to this woman, but now We're working with them, and it's best not to make any trouble."
"Well, I have a sense of proportion."
Ba Ye had a strange expression on his face, and seemed to feel that it was unnatural to discuss this kind of topic with me, so he simply patted me on the shoulder, deliberately laughed, and said: "Well, young people have capital, young people like you recruit girls It's normal for kids to like it."
I thought to myself, you didn't push me to the princess on purpose... I don't believe that the princess was waiting outside after we got off the plane yesterday, didn't you know in advance
I'm even sure that if the princess didn't exist, the Eighth Master wouldn't have brought me along for this cooperation with the Sorin family.
To put it bluntly, he regarded me as a "male PR".
My guess was very correct.
At least Ba Ye is nominally bringing me to participate in this cooperative business, but I have been here for a day, and I have no room to intervene in business matters. My task is to coax Her Royal Highness. As for Ba Ye, he should have talked a lot with Sorin from yesterday to today, and they should have had a good time. But he didn't intend to discuss the details of business cooperation with me at all.
"Okay, let's go in." Eighth Master looked at the time, and then his tone became serious: "For a while, don't be too ostentatious in the game. In Mr. Sorin's reception room, anyone who can be invited in is You have a certain background. In a while, you will represent me at the table. You don’t want merit, but no fault.” He smiled: “I’m not very good at gambling, but if the host invites me, I always have to give this face , in a while, we will randomly throw hundreds of thousands out, and then I will make an excuse that I have something to do, and then we can leave, understand? Just remember not to talk nonsense at the poker table."
Mr. Sorin's reception room is actually very large. It is a room without windows, but the spacious interior does not appear stuffy. There is a long oval table with four guests already seated, and I see that there are still three empty chairs in front of the table. When Ba Ye and I just walked in, we saw Suo Lin sitting in the middle, Yang Wei was on Suo Lin's left, and then there were two men, not too young, with a hint of arrogance in their expressions The momentum seems to be the temperament cultivated as a superior.
On the way, I read the profiles of these two people. One is a member of a ruling party in the provincial local assembly, and the other is a powerful member of the largest French family in Quebec.
"Oh, you're here at last." Sorin smiled. He looked like an aristocratic gentleman when he smiled. Although he was old and had many wrinkles on his face, his calm and unhurried manner was still very charming. Yes, he looked at us: "Well, my old friend, will you try your luck at the table yourself? Or let a young man take your place?"
"I'm just watching the battle." Ba Ye pressed me to sit down, and someone next to him immediately moved a chair for him to sit behind me.
"Can we start now? What are we going to play today?" The member of the French family fiddled with the ring on his thumb impatiently. He was a little bald and had a big aquiline nose.
"Oh, there are still two important guests who haven't arrived." Sorin said with a smile: "Today is really a special day. We have so many oriental guests here at once."
Soon, I understood what he meant.
About two minutes later, the door of the reception room was pushed open, and a person walked in from the outside.
This person is not tall, a little short and fat, with white hair, a round face, and small eyes, but although the eyes are small, the shining eyes that flashed inadvertently made people feel that his original ugly appearance suddenly disappeared. Ignored!
Fortunately, his overly bright and sharp eyes were somewhat blocked by a pair of eyes on the bridge of his nose. Hide some of his sharpness.
This person is the one Yang Wei specially introduced to me today, our common goal.
That "Japanese traitor".
The Japanese congressman who is of Japanese descent but submitted an "anti-Japanese bill" in the U.S. Congress: Jason Nakata.
Sorin immediately stood up and greeted Jason Nakata in person. Although this Jason Nakata looked Japanese, he was obviously a very Americanized person. After all, he was a third-generation immigrant. Born and raised in the United States, he didn't bow like the Japanese in my impression. Instead, he spread his hands, smiled exaggeratedly in an American style, and said loudly: "Sorry everyone, I kept you waiting for a long time. .”
"Let me introduce you." Mr. Thorin said with a faint smile, "This is Mr. Jason Nakata, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives."
Sitting in the seat, the guy from the provincial and regional councils of Canada originally had a bit of impatience on his face, but when he heard the identity of the other party, he immediately restrained his arrogance involuntarily.
And just as I was looking at this guy carefully, the last distinguished guest of the day walked in again.
"Oh, Mr. Sorin." A gentle and elegant voice, with a calm demeanor, smiled in a flamboyant but not exaggerated tone: "I tried my best to hurry. Fortunately, I didn't miss your game. If you miss After this game, I won’t be able to sleep for a week.”
Then, a slender figure walked in, with a handsome face, an elegant smile at the corner of his mouth, and clean and tidy attire.
My eyeballs popped out!
Yellow skin, black hair, tall and slender figure, melodious baritone voice, handsome face, elegant spirit...
The man who walked in was Li Wenjing.
After Li Wenjing came in, he didn't see me immediately, but his eyes fell on Yang Wei, who was sitting facing the door, with a real smile on his face, mixed with a sigh: "God, Wei Wei, I almost thought this Once I'm done here, I won't see you again."
Li Wenjing
He knows Yang Wei
Yang Wei slightly raised her eyebrows, just smiled and said nothing.
And just when my expression was weird, Li Wenjing finally saw me!
If my expression is weird, then Li Wenjing's expression can already be said to be surprised...
"Oh? Chen Yang? You?" He looked at me sitting in front of the gaming table with an embarrassed smile on his face, then he suddenly took a deep breath, and without waiting for me to speak, he looked at Sorin directly: "God Ah, Mr. Sorin, is he also participating in today's game?"
"Yes, this is Mr. Fang's nephew. Today he represented Mr. Fang in the battle... Well, Tony, do you know him?" I wasn't surprised that Suo Lin called Li Wenjing "Tony", because I seemed to remember that it seemed to be Li Wenjing's English name.
"Of course I know him." Li Wenjing smiled and said, "We have known each other for a long time, and when we were in Vancouver not long ago, Her Royal Highness also took him to the clubhouse I run."
But then Li Wenjing sighed and glanced at me: "Chen Yang, since you are here, I don't think there is any need for me to participate in today's game."
"Why?" Suo Lin and Yang Wei asked this sentence at the same time.
Yang Wei couldn't help but glanced at me, as if a little surprised.
"Because ever since I gambled with him once in China, I swore I would never gamble with him again." Li Wenjing said lightly: "Although I like to gamble, but for a gamble that I know I must lose It's not called 'gambling' anymore, it's just sending money to the other party, which has lost the meaning of gambling."
He sighed and said with a wry smile: "You don't know how terrifying this guy's performance in the gambling game..."
