Chapter 750: This couple is too good

6 min read1,429 wordsMature

Two rows of spiral staircases extend to the second floor, and the stairs are

covered with dark red Persian carpets, which are magnificent, no less than any

palace building.

Li Qiao never asked where the real Marquis of Lawrence was.

She didn't understand the cause and effect until Silo followed them up to the

second floor.

The old Marquis has passed away for a long time, without children.

Before the marquise died, Bai Yan passed on the hereditary marquis position to

his nephew, Shang Yu, through the operation of Yanmeng and Shi Luo.

Speaking of it, apart from this manor, the Marquis of Lawrence has no extra

property and even a lot of foreign debts.

It is said that after the decline of the family, even the annual maintenance

costs of the manor cannot be afforded. The status of a marquis just sounds

noble, but now it is just an empty shell.

On the second floor, Li Qiao walked around each room a few times at random.

Apart from the simplest furnishings, there was basically nothing worthy of

attention.

At this time, the butler came holding a tray with delicate golden invitations

on it, “Mr. and Mrs., this is an invitation from the Ducal Mansion, please

have a look.”

Li Qiao leaned on the window sill, watching the butler’s unhurried demeanor,

"How long have you been working here?"

They came to Marquis Manor for the first time, but this elderly housekeeper

did not seem to be surprised.

"Thirty years." The butler bent over and added, "I heard the old lady

mentioned before that if it weren't for the husband and wife to help pay off

the foreign debt, I'm afraid this manor would not be able to stay."

The bankrupt Marquis family, the upper-class society respects thanks to it.

If it were not for the new Marquis this time, I am afraid that Lawrence would

no longer have the status of the British imperial aristocracy.

Li Qiao caught a key point and paid off the foreign debt?

She looked at Shang Yu who had come out of the study. Before asking any

questions, Silo on the side whispered to her puzzlement, "First-hand news,

your family Yan Ye paid off all the family's foreign debts in the name of

Lawrence a month ago, and at the same time Redeemed all the mortgaged

properties."

Li Qiao casually glanced at Shi Luo, "My sister’s circle of friends is so

powerful."

"It's easy to talk." Silo patted her shoulder and tugged her long hair.

I’m afraid the silly kid still doesn’t know the foundation of her family's

real foothold in the British Emperor.

This couple is so good, they are simply a pair of Pai Yao who make a fortune.

Fortunately, it is not the enemy.

……

On the other side, a luxury apartment in the center of the Port of London.

He Chen leaned on the sofa in his nightgown, with slender legs resting on the

coffee table, and looked at the opposite man frivolously, “Are you here from

Childman?”

Xiao Yeyan’s comic-like beautiful cheeks are a little casual, and the posture

of sitting up is a little deliberately arrogant, "I heard that you are very

close to Shang Shaoyan these days?"

"Who is listening?" He Chen tilted his head and glanced at the door of the

room, his gaze fell on the slender figure, and the conversation turned, "This

beauty is..."

Xiao Yeyan folded her long legs and looked at Yin Mo, who was acting as a

bodyguard, with a faint smile, "The servant at home, are you interested?"

He Chen licked his teeth, a pair of long, narrow eyes burst into playfulness,

"Your servants are so pretty?"

He bluntly praised Yin Mo's appearance, Xiao Yeyan squinted his eyes, his

sharp eyes seemed to be thoughtful, "Why don't you give it to you?"

Yin Mo stood at the door with his hands in his hands, and secretly tightened

his fists in the face of their discussion.

He Chen looked back, laughed wildly, raised his eyebrows lazily, and looked

slightly constricted, "Say business first, you send someone to follow me?"

Xiao Yeyan lowered his head to adjust the sleeves, and also covered the deep

meaning in his eyes, "That's not enough, it's just that someone saw you go to

the Wicks Winery with Shang Shaoyan."

"So?" He Chen raised his eyebrows.

"It's nothing. You said before that you wanted to capture the entire

underground power in Nanyang. Shang Shaoyan had an accident in Parma some time

ago. His loss was not small. This time he came to the British Emperor. You

don't take the opportunity to stay in Nanyang. It's a bit weird to seize the

power, but to follow."

Xiao Yeyan and He Chen have known each other for a long time. At the

beginning, he used his deputy secretary-general status to facilitate He Chen.

Now, He Chen's actions inevitably made him suspicious.

"The heart of a villain." He Chen nodded Xiao Yeyan in the air, and

sarcastically, "How can I not understand the truth if I don't enter the

tiger's lair? The power of Shang Shaoyan is so easy to seize, you think I am

Will you wait so long?"

Xiao Yeyan smiled without changing her face, "Really? I hope it really is the

heart of a villain."

He Chen Yu Guang glanced at Yin Mo, who was flying a knife at him, pushed his

cheeks, and retreated: "If you suspect that Lao Tzu is a double agent, you

might as well just say it."

Xiao Yeyan's eyes were dim, and he focused on his cheeks, "Then you are?"

He Chen probed his hand, his handsome face was filled with a deep sneer, "I

am!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyan shook his head and laughed, "Which double agent would

be so honest?"

He Chen lowered his eyes to cover the ridicule under his eyes, then looked at

Yin Mo and licked his lips, "I admit it, he doesn't believe it, you have to

testify to me."

Yin Mo didn't say a word, her arms tightened slightly, suppressing the urge to

draw a knife.

Deng disciple, bastard.

Xiao Yeyan chuckled lightly, and his eyes flew between the two of them,

faintly aware of something unusual.

He stood up on his knees and brushed the wrinkles on his trousers. "It’s the

first time you come to the British Emperor, it’s better to let our Captain Yin

accompany you around. Later, you will go to Childman City with her, and let me

do everything. Do the friendship of the landlord."

He Chen looked at Yin Mo's apparently reluctant appearance, squinted his eyes,

and waved to Xiao Yeyan, "Don't hurry up, don't delay my dating with beautiful

women."

Xiao Yeyan thinks he knows He Chen, so this time he specially brought Yin Mo

to "fit him".

Sure enough, the fish took the bait.

Xiao Yeyan picked up the woolen coat and walked to the door of the apartment.

He squinted at Yin Mo who was hesitant to speak, and warned in a low voice,

"Watch him."

Obviously, he was not convinced of He Chen.

After Xiao Yeyan left, Yin Mochu was in a dilemma at the door.

She looked at He Chen warily, without saying a word.

In the large living room, only He Chen could hear the occasional sound of

smoke blowing out. Yin Mo didn't dare to be careless, thinking about the next

countermeasures.

Not long after, He Chen put down his long legs from the coffee table, looked

at the sofa Xiao Yeyan had sat on, and raised his lips wickedly, "Captain Yin,

where are you going to take me for shopping?"

Yin Mo pursed his lips, his tone was very stiff, "Where do you want to go, Mr.

He?"

"How about the bedroom?" He Chen said as he got up, his bathrobe hung loosely

on his body, and a large piece of texture on his chest was exposed when he

walked, making no secret of his dissoluteness and frivolity.

Yin Mo took a step back, fingers crossed the edge of the jacket and touched

the dagger in the back waist. When He Chen was close in front of her, she

raised a coquettish smile, "Mr. He wasn't kidding?"

He Chen stretched his eyebrows, stepped forward to prop up the door with one

hand, and raised Yin Mo's chin with the other hand, pressing down his handsome

face, and reminding her in her ear, "If I were you, I would not choose to do

it at this time."
