The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.
Chapter 365 The Master of the Winston Family
This was Henry's first meeting with the Winston family, as a newly promoted nobleman by the royal family.
In his mind, the head of the Winston family should still be a dignified and old-fashioned nobleman who was over fifty years old.
But when he arrived in front of the Winston family, his gaze first fell on Winston.
However, he was wondering why the head of the Winston family looked more handsome than him.
And who is that person sitting there? Are there any Asians in the Winston family?
But just as he was about to speak, his assistant whispered in his ear:
"Don't mistake him for someone else! That Asian man is the head of the household!"
Henry couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He was still too young to dare lose his composure in front of the Winston family, shouting:
"How is that possible?!"
Wu Tu is now used to the surprised or unexpected looks from others when she stands at the top.
They were simply questioning his background, his lineage, and his age.
Wu Tu has now fully learned her father's methods, using irresistible power to make these people shut up.
However, after he took over the family business for a few years, these voices gradually subsided.
Because they discovered that the Black Tortoise was not a puppet ruler to be bullied, but a new king carefully groomed by the Winston family.
Only someone who suddenly becomes rich, a nouveau riche, or a newly minted nobleman who earns money and receives an award in some emerging industry would be so rude as to yell at him.
In such situations, the black ox would tolerate their rudeness.
He also knew that these people must have initially treated him with contempt, even looking him up and down and wondering how he had become the head of the family.
But now, Wutu no longer needs to prove itself.
Because he is power itself, the young people know they should be trembling with fear when they see those nobles fawning over him.
Henry stared blankly as the nobles came over one by one to greet Utah, and even extended their hands, wanting Utah to shake hands with them, and kissing the back of Utah's hand as a sign of loyalty.
However, the little guy always manages to dodge quickly.
He was still reluctant to interact with strangers, and if someone did bump into him, his father, older brother, and older sister standing behind him would come out like watchdogs.
So Wu Tu simply nodded casually at these people, then became oblivious to the fact that her attention was drawn to other things.
During this period, Henry kept staring blankly at the face of the black rabbit.
Lilith, standing nearby, suddenly moved closer to Henry. Dressed in a black suit, her eyes were sharp as a wolf's as she stared at this arrogant young man.
Why are you staring at our patriarch?
Henry was startled; he was genuinely frightened by Lilith's oval pupils, and blurted out instinctively:
"He, he's very handsome..."
Lilith only reluctantly let the man go after hearing that he was praising Wutu.
Henry was reminded by his assistant that he had come to realize the purpose of his trip.
He needed the help of the head of the Winston family.
Just then, the Asian beauty, who didn't look like the head of the Winston family at all, turned to look at him and said a few words to Lilith beside her.
Lilith then obeyed and gave Henry a Winston family crest.
This is a pass for entering the banquet area.
"With this, go to the second-floor lounge. You have ten minutes to talk to our patriarch privately."
With this badge in hand, Henry obtained permission to enter the royal residence with surprising ease.
It was only then that Henry realized just how powerful Ulquiorra was, to the point that he could even influence the royal family...
Looking at that face that was just as young as his, Henry felt a mixture of envy, surprise, and a certain urge to have certain thoughts.
Why would the patriarch allow him to speak privately? Has the patriarch developed some interest in him...?
Henry felt a tickle in his heart whenever he thought of the way Wu Tu had just held the wine glass, her slender white fingers clearly defined, her eyelashes drooping, and the fleeting beauty of melancholy and vulnerability.
This is his instinct.
Seeing Henry so infatuated with the black rabbit, the assistant beside him thought to himself:
Sure enough, he shouldn't have chosen an employer who was gay!
He was now really unsure if Henry even remembered that he had come to discuss business.
However, Henry still managed to find the lounge on the second floor without any problems.
Wu Tu had been sitting inside for a while.
He looked very tired; the social engagements he had just attended had left him somewhat overwhelmed.
Henry recalled the recent changes in the royal family and knew that the family behind the royal family must be very busy.
The black rabbit had its eyes closed, seemingly resting.
His head tilted back slightly, resting against the back of the sofa, revealing a section of his long, slender, white neck, its lines elongated as if waiting for someone to touch it.
Henry involuntarily took two steps forward.
Now only he and Wutu are in the room, and Wutu seems to be asleep...
Just as Henry was lost in his own thoughts, he bent down and slowly approached the black rabbit.
As a result, Henry was so focused on the black cat's neck that he didn't watch his feet, accidentally kicked the sofa, and almost fell over.
Just when Henry thought he was about to fall flat on his face in front of Wu Tu, Wu Tu had woken up at some point and picked him up with one hand.
Are you alright?
Henry blushed deeply, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"I'm fine! Please put me down..."
The black rabbit put Henry down.
Henry then realized that Wu Tu had lifted him up with one hand, and that she wasn't the frail beauty he had imagined.
The commotion inside the house also attracted the attention of people outside.
Winston walked in with a cup of warm water on a tray.
Henry's last shred of romantic feelings vanished upon seeing Winston's appearance.
And at first he thought Mr. Winston was the head of the family, but he turned out to be one of the Black Crow's subordinates?!
In front of outsiders, Wu Tu would pretend to be more affectionate and wouldn't cling to her father as much.
He simply nodded to Winston:
"Thanks."
The little guy took the warm water, drank a sip, and then said:
"Henry, an F1 driver, a champion in million-dollar races, a newly minted nobleman awarded the Order of the British Empire by the Queen, what brings you here?"
"Do you need my investment, or do you need my skills?"
Henry was surprised; he hadn't expected that the Black Rabbit knew about him.
After all, in the eyes of these old nobles, apart from elegant sports, other competitive sports were synonymous with violence and vulgarity. He never expected that Wu Tu could see through his thoughts.
The black rabbit said:
"Because I'm an athlete too, I understand."
"I understand your situation, and I know you want a safety net and protection from the state..."
Henry looked at Wutu and felt that Wutu was like a character born from a virtual world, so perfect that it kept subverting his understanding.
Moreover, how could Wutu possibly understand everyone's desires and thoughts so well?
