Chapter 158 The Second Family Dinner

Wayne grabbed Chris's hand and slowly placed it on the hilt of the sword.

The delicate texture passed through the fingertips, the magic power was transmitted, and the moonlight-like condensed light was illuminated, illuminating Chris's eyes. Her breathing accelerated uncontrollably, making it even more impossible to refuse.

want to!

"Take it, just consider it as a loan to you. If I need it in the future, you can give it to me anytime." Wayne whispered.

The distance was so close that the wind made Chris' ears turn red.

Women are born unable to refuse beautiful things, and Chris is no exception. Moreover, this dagger is related to the belief in moonlight, so she really can't muster up the courage to refuse.

But the woman's intuition also told her that what she heard were the devil's whispers, and that she would pay a price if she believed them.

After pondering for a while and weighing the pros and cons, he finally couldn't refuse and said softly, "Wayne, I'll borrow it for a while and write you an IOU, okay?"

"Forget about the IOU. I believe in your character, Chris. You will definitely return it in the same condition as new."

"..."

Chris sighed, blaming herself for not being able to control her hands. If she had held on a little longer, she would have gotten through it!
"However, although I will keep it for you, but..."

Chris looked at the dagger in her hand and found that Wayne was still holding her hand. She smiled politely but awkwardly, and slowly pulled her hand...pulled it...out.

So strong! x2
"But this sword has a high artistic value. After all, you are the pastor of the Church of Nature. Is it really okay to lend it to me? Will your teacher blame you?"

Chris still felt something was wrong, but she couldn't refuse, so she asked Wayne to think about it again.

"It doesn't matter. Then I can say that you seduced me and I couldn't control myself, making the same mistake every man would make." Wayne said that it was not a big problem and he could always pass the blame.

Chris: (;)
Wouldn't that make her a bad girl in the eyes of Veronica's mother?

Well, let it be bad, it was Veronica's mother who was immoral first and snatched Wayne away when she was not paying attention.

Chris put away her dagger and said thank you to Wayne again.

She is just that kind of person. Whoever treats her well will be better to him or her. She is very afraid of owing favors to others, and even more afraid of not being able to repay them.

That is what is called an honest person!
"By the way, Chris, I have designed some new stockings and clothes. I'll trouble you later before it gets too late." Wayne revealed his true intentions, achieved the target in the strategy process, and refreshed today's settlement screen.

"How about tomorrow?"

Chris blushed and lowered her head. When she was a model before, Willy was there. It was embarrassing but not that embarrassing. Tonight she was alone and it was too awkward.

After all, those skirts are really short.

"No, tomorrow is the time for me to submit the test report. As you know, I was busy until midnight last night and didn't come back until midnight. I'm really sorry to bother you." Wayne sighed, saying that the other party was pushing him too hard and there was nothing he could do.

Chris hesitated for a long time, unable to find a reason to refuse, so she could only follow Wayne into the bedroom.

"Is this... too short?"

"No, it looks beautiful with stockings."

"this is?"

"This is called a garter belt, which consists of two parts: stockings and garters. The skirt is so short to better reflect the feminine charm."

"Still... it's too short. Will anyone buy it?"

"Chris, I'm a professional fashion designer and I've created hit products. You can question other things, but you can't question my professionalism!"

"Okay, fine. I'll go back to my room and change."

"No, it's too much trouble to run around. It would be embarrassing if the maid saw you. Right here, I'll lock the door and turn around, and I promise not to look."

"..."

I won’t accept any more gifts next time!
----

Landau family.

Second family dinner.

Unlike the last time when the atmosphere was all smiles, tonight's atmosphere was obviously much more harmonious.

Xifei kept smiling throughout the whole process and gave her asshole husband a lot of good looks. Auston also changed from turning a blind eye last time to turning a blind eye.

Seeing Wayne secretly glancing at Xiao Baicai, he immediately closed his eye.

Out of sight, out of mind. So be it!
Veronica changed into a white evening gown as her mother requested. She seldom wore skirts and only wore them on important occasions. She couldn't understand why a piece of social trash would make her wear a skirt twice.

Moreover, although the atmosphere was good, she felt something was weird.

Yes, she is not in the atmosphere!
Veronica: ()
Wayne: (ω)
Veronica: What tricks did you use? Why didn't Mr. Landau sneer at you?
Wayne: Yeah, it’s really strange when you mention it!

Veronica: Bastard, don't run away after dinner, or I'll show you how I'll deal with you.

Wayne: If you don't run, you're an asshole.

After dinner, Auston stood up and walked towards the study: "Wayne, come with me, I have something to tell you."

He chose a study where he discussed important matters with his family members, rather than a study where he entertained guests and strangers.

Veronica was stunned and horrified as she watched the two guys in black leave. She swallowed hard and said in disbelief, "Mother, did you hear that? Mr. Landau talked to the social scum!"

This was the first time Veronica remembered that Auston and Wayne communicated. She thought they would never speak to each other in their lives.

"Don't talk nonsense, Wayne is not a social scum, and he is not Mr. Landau, he is your father." Sphy corrected.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss——”

Veronica gasped and opened her mouth wide: "I have a father?"

Xifei: “…”

Nonsense, how could you come into being without a father? Even if you want to lay eggs, there has to be a male!
Veronica also knew that she had said something nonsense, so she quickly came to Xifei and asked in surprise: "I mean, mother, will you not quarrel with father in the future?"

"We've never quarreled before."

"Uh-huh."

Veronica nodded repeatedly, her eyes slightly moist, and continued: "Then you have to promise not to beat him for no reason in the future."

"..."

"Mother, please say something!"

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Xifei was a little embarrassed. Seeing her daughter's disappointed face, she hurriedly coaxed her, "It's hard to explain the reason. You will understand it later. One day you will understand that when a particularly annoying face appears in front of you, you will be unable to bear it and punch it."

Veronica didn't understand, but after thinking about it, she realized that there was indeed such a face.

She didn't think about it and asked, "Father and Wayne were acting strange today. I suspect that there was something going on between them..."

Unable to think of a suitable adjective for a moment, he gestured with his hands a few times and said seriously: "There is a secret between them. They must have reached some agreement and will work together to do bad things in the future."

"That's true."

Xifei laughed out loud and corrected again: "But it's not that they joined forces to do bad things. It's that Wayne had to learn how to do bad things for the sake of this family."

It’s so funny, does he still need to learn?
"Mother, you haven't seen his day..."

Veronica was halfway through her words when she realized something was wrong, and her heart skipped a beat: "Mother, what is the agreement that Wayne made for this family?"

Veronica felt like she was missing out on a lot, and everyone knew it, except her.

Xifei stroked Veronica's golden hair and said, "Your father chose Wayne as his heir. He will be the male head of the Landau family in the future."

"Why is it him? His last name isn't even Lando!"

Veronica was confused, and her expression suddenly changed: "Mother, it's difficult, difficult, is it possible..."

"Yes, it's exactly what you imagined."

Xifei blinked and smiled ambiguously. Fortunately, her reaction was not slow and she was a little smart. It was up to her.

"Wayne is truly his father's son..."

Veronica felt as if the sky had fallen. Her eyes were empty and lifeless. She murmured, "Although I always felt that they were very similar, I never thought that Wayne would be my brother... I won't allow it. I don't want a brother like that."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could Wayne be your brother? That bastard wouldn't dare mess around outside!"

(￣皿￣)(;)
Xifei punched Veronica on the head and took back her previous words. The child was not like her. He did not inherit her intelligence or vision.

Sure enough, the jerk husband was right. I can only rely on Wayne from now on.

"What's going on? How can he become the heir of the Landau family? I've been squeezed out." Veronica pouted, looking very unhappy.

"Is there a possibility that his child will inherit the bloodline of the Lando family?" Xifei reminded.

"Is there such a possibility..."

"what?"

"what!"

“Eh————”

study.

Megan closed the door and stood quietly outside.

Wayne glanced at the slowly closing door and felt strange, as if he heard some sound.

That shouldn’t be the case. Landau’s house has very good sound insulation.

Auston sat on the sofa, playing with the ancient silver coins in his hand. He noticed Monica blending in with the black sofa, and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Megan pushed the door open and walked in, carrying the black cat out of the house.

Wayne secretly thought it was a pity that he was a step too slow and missed the chance to lift it high.

"At the end of the month, there will be a bidding meeting in Luzerne, the capital of Luzerbourg, to select a new partner..."

Austin played with the ancient silver coins and talked about the content of the bidding.

Luxembourg, whose full name is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, has a land area of ​​2,500 square kilometers. It is surrounded by Francia and Prussia. It is a small landlocked country also known as the pocket kingdom.

Although it is small, it has resources. It has abundant iron ore resources. In the past fifty years, its economy has developed rapidly. Its iron smelting and steelmaking industries are first-class and its industrial scale is considerable. It can be called a world-class steel power.

"The Landau family has a partner in Frank that can provide a large number of high-quality coal mines. At the same time, neighboring Prussia also has a coal mining area nearby. You will participate in the bidding on behalf of the Landau family. Our partner can fail, but Prussia must not win!" said Austin.

Wayne raised his eyebrows, smelling the scent of great power politics from the business activities. On the surface, they were appeasing and retreating, but their tricks never stopped.

"Is this a test for me?"

"It's up to you. It may be yes or no. Don't feel pressured. One failure doesn't mean anything. Just think of it as paying tuition." Austin said nonchalantly.

Wayne didn't know whether he really didn't care or was pretending to not care. No matter how he looked at it, this was a task assigned by the royal family. As the right-hand man of the royal family, the Tulip family should do their best.

"By the way, the Boswell family will also participate. They also have partners in Frank..."

Auston smiled and looked at Wayne: "You don't want them to win, right?"

That's a must!

Wayne raised his eyebrows and was about to swear on his chest that he could lose and that the Boswell family must go bankrupt.

If anyone steals the meat from his bowl, this family will be doomed!

When the words came to his lips, Wayne figured it out. His emotions were aroused by Old Deng. It was not certain whether the Boswell family had proposed marriage.

but……

Even if it’s possible, this family is doomed!

"I will go to Luzel City at the end of the month to negotiate this deal. Prussia can't win, and neither can the Boswell family." Wayne took on the task. He was worried about letting others go.

The thought that the Boswells might win made him uneasy.

It’s painful to think about it. If it becomes a reality, he will be so angry that he will die!

Wayne was speechless. Old Deng saw through his heart and lungs, and with a little trick he left him with no way out.

No, this is clearly the guide he took while looking in the mirror.

"Wayne, remember this. Don't oversell. Credit is consumable. Whether you are doing business or being a person, you should always leave room for yourself."

Auston laughed. "I didn't expect you to be able to negotiate this deal. The Landau family has limited influence in Frank, and our partners don't have a quotation advantage. I asked you to go there to learn how to write a failure."

"Isn't that a loss?"

"There are only so many principles in the business world. As long as you pay enough tuition and work hard enough, you can learn all of them." Auston glanced at Wayne. His family had plenty of money, so he could spend it.

At this moment, Auston is shining!
Wayne was overwhelmed by the opponent's financial strength. It was not his character to endure pressure all the time, so he decided to do something to turn the situation around.

At the very least, we have to pull the smug father-in-law down from above.

Wayne took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I will complete the task, fight for victory even if I lose, and try my best to gain more benefits for the family."

"I'm glad you understand. I will send a professional team to accompany you. They will come up with a charter and a plan for you." Auston nodded with satisfaction. Although he was very similar to him, he was really young and needed some time to hone his skills.

"Auston, I carefully selected a gift for the family dinner. The file box is in the car. I'm sure you will like it." Wayne's face was solemn.

"No, you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. I've said before that if I had no choice, I wouldn't fall for you." Austin looked up with contempt and continued to play with the ancient silver coin.

He has seen all kinds of situations. Wanting to please him? Haha, that's just wishful thinking.

"They are the latest stockings!"

"..."

Aston's hand holding the ancient silver coin stiffened slightly, and he said nothing. Silence is golden.

"Auston, do you want it or not? If not, I'll take it back."

"Uh, well, bring it here and have a look. After all, it's a new model from Healy Company. I think it's necessary to check it to prevent her from losing money." Auston said calmly. He loved his wife, that's all.

no other meaning!
"Megan, I have stockings in the car, and Auston said he wanted to..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Auston coughed repeatedly and glared at Wayne fiercely, "Damn social scum, he has no ambition at all, how can he do great things in the future?"

He snorted coldly and said to the outside of the door: "Megan, there is a document box in the young master's car, bring it here, the things are very important, don't make it public."

Megan: (_)
She heard it all. It's just stockings. There's no need to hide it.

……

The camera turned and it was ten minutes later.

Megan glanced at the group of people wearing white gloves, put down the file box expressionlessly, and thoughtfully set up a soundproof barrier when closing the door.

Auston put on white gloves and stood in front of the file box, rubbing his hands together. When he heard the laughter behind him, he turned around and looked fiercely.

Wayne looked serious.

Damn social garbage!
Damn cement bucket!

I deliberately made him look bad. This matter is not over today!
pat!

Wayne opened the file box, and the moment he pushed the box open, Auston seemed to see a light rising into the sky.

"what is this?"

"I made the finished garter stockings in the previous design myself. Don't worry, no one has ever worn them."

Wayne put on white gloves, took out the stockings and handed them to Auston, then he picked up the suspenders and explained how to put them on.

It's somewhat redundant, a man as upper-class as Auston doesn't need an instruction manual, but it's a necessary process, he's the designer, and the product will be more attractive when he tells the story himself.

One of them was talking while the other was listening, and they looked serious as if they were guarding justice.

Megan: (_)
This is the worst time justice has been vilified.

"Asshole, you're giving me something like this as a gift? I can't use it! And it's too obscene!"

"Just say whether you want it or not."

"After all, it's your thoughtful gesture. It's your first time giving me a gift, so I can't refuse. Remember, today is an exception. Don't give me this kind of thing next time. It's an eye-sore!"

"Don't worry, absolutely not."

"Hey, these drawings are..."

"Oh, some of the underwear I designed are too advanced in style. They will definitely not sell. They are considered waste drafts. I will burn them when I get home."

"Don't get angry yet. You may have a misunderstanding of the market. Let me criticize how advanced you are."

Auston took the manuscript and was confused by the first design drawing: "What do these lines mean? Are all your manuscripts so abstract?"

"This is called a thong, a type of women's underwear..."

Wayne said quietly, "Strictly speaking, this suit is now designed for men, but I made some minor changes."

Auston's eyes lit up and he asked, "You are such a genius. Tell me how you changed it?"

"Just imagine if this underwear is paired with garters, how would gentlemen handle it?"

“Hiss, hiss, hiss——”

Auston imagined it for a moment, then stuffed all the manuscripts into his office drawer. "Wayne, that's all for today. Make all the samples as soon as possible and send them all to me for review before the end of the month."

"Can it be done?"

"Don't underestimate me. The reason I'm still alive today is because I'm not afraid of death!"
