Chapter 1279 The Concept of Nobility
On Sunday, Chen Feng really stayed at home honestly all day.
Of course, some people invited him out during this period. For example, Molly and her father Johnny sent WeChat messages and invited him to dinner. Chen Feng treated both father and daughter equally and did not reply to the message.
It wasn't until they called one after another that Chen Feng chose to answer the phone, but still declined their invitation.
Molly is slowly getting used to this, but Johnny is obviously not used to it yet. He invited Chen Feng twice in a row, but was rejected by Chen Feng. Such an experience had almost never happened to him before. Passed.
Although Johnny himself can be regarded as a playboy and has not achieved much in his career, he is a member of the Lampson family, an old money family. He can get a lot of living expenses from the family fund every month. He is a real rich man. Young Master.
Therefore, in his previous social life, if he invited someone to his home, almost no one would refuse, let alone two invitations in a row that were rejected.
Not to mention, the person who rejected him twice in a row was a junior like Chen Feng, the cheap "boyfriend" of his biological daughter.
This not only shows that Chen Feng, a junior in the Dragon Kingdom, not only does not take him as a senior in his eyes, but also shows that Molly is actually not taken seriously by Chen Feng.
Both of these two points made Johnny feel a little hurt. He and his daughter were both members of the Lampson family, from truly wealthy families in the world.
As long as people of their background are known, no matter where they are in the world, everyone should give them some face.
But in Chen Feng's case, the father and daughter's status as a wealthy family was not so easy to use.
It’s okay for Johnny to be frustrated, but Chen Feng actually treated her daughter like this, which made him a little angry. However, he had no choice but to complain to his daughter: “Chen Feng doesn’t respect him at all. We, we live so close to him, invite him We are not happy to come over for a meal together, let alone invite us to his house for dinner. He is not human at all."
Molly can't help but feel a little resentful towards Chen Feng. She knew that it was what happened to her last time that caused a gap in Chen Feng's heart.
She initially became friendly with Chen Feng, not because she fell in love with Chen Feng, but mainly because she wanted to take advantage of Chen Feng. After the two of them got along, although she slowly began to like Chen Feng, she still had a certain utilitarian purpose.
The most direct purpose was to borrow seeds from Chen Feng. She made it clear to Chen Feng directly last time, so her purpose was achieved and her conspiracy succeeded.
Chen Feng is not stupid. Of course, at this time, he has already felt that something was wrong last time, so it is normal that he does not want to meet him again for the time being, and even refuses to meet her father.
Therefore, in the face of her father’s complaints, she wanted to clarify for Chen Feng: “Maybe he was aware of what happened last time. In addition, he has been with us for two days at the beginning, and it is true that You can’t ask for too much from him.”
Johnny widened his eyes slightly and said, “How could he notice it? You may not be able to buy that kind of medicine even if you have money. It is colorless and tasteless, and its effect is very mild. Yes, if you don't know about it in advance, it is impossible to detect it. Even if you go for a drug test, it will be difficult to detect it. After all, it is a health care drug. After taking it, it is beneficial to the body. I think it is purely harmless. Don't take our Lampson family seriously, don't take your 'girlfriend' seriously."
Molly reminded with a bitter smile: "Dad, I am not his girlfriend."
Johnny retorted: "How is your current relationship with him different from that of a boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"It's definitely different. He and I don't live together. But his real girlfriend She lives with him, and there is another girl who is not his girlfriend, but is similar, and she also lives with him."
"He and the two of them. You already told me about living together with a woman last time, so there is no need to emphasize it again.”
When Johnny heard his daughter talk about Chen Feng, he couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous. We are all men, and he has a nobler background than Chen Feng, but he just doesn't have Chen Feng's luck and the special ability to deal with so many women.
"Forget it if he doesn't want to see us again for the time being. When you and mom leave, I'll invite him over again, and he should come over."
"That's all we can do. I invited him twice, but he didn't come over. What can I do? By the way, how has your mother been doing in the past two days? Have you found out clearly?"
The past two days. Molly's wife Adeline didn't go out to play anymore, she stayed in the villa, saying she was tired and didn't want to go out. Moreover, she mostly stayed in her bedroom and didn't go downstairs much.
That's it now, Johnny and Molly are downstairs in the living room, and Adeline is still upstairs in her bedroom. It seemed that her mood was not very high, so it was obvious that something had happened to her.
Johnny is still very concerned about his ex-wife. He took the initiative to ask Adeline before, but the other party did not answer the reason, so he could only ask his daughter Molly for help.
Molly did not disappoint him. After thinking for a moment, she said: "I told you not to be angry. I chatted with her for a long time last night, and then I found out from the sidelines that she had a boyfriend some time ago. My friend, that man is very handsome. I heard he was born into a noble family and is a descendant of a certain marquis from the Kingdom of Great Britain. In short, he is very good and she likes him very much..."
Hearing this, Johnny couldn't help it anymore. He gritted his teeth slightly and said, "You damn aristocratic descendant, does he have a title? Your mother just has too much feudal ideas. What era is this? She still hugs her all day long." She has a hierarchical concept and is proud of her nobility. She thinks about becoming a duchess or a marquise every day. , She is dreaming.”
Molly was speechless when she heard what her father said, but she also knew that her father was right. Her mother had always been proud of being a noble. In their thinking, people are often divided into three, six or nine grades. There are mainly three types of people, namely the royal family, the nobility, and the common people.
In Adeline's view, even those rich people with money and status are not considered nobles, at most they are nouveau riche. Because they do not have noble titles, she also has the right to despise them. Take her ex-husband Johnny, for example, whom she didn't like very much from the beginning.
It was only because her family forced her to marry Johnny, and Johnny was indeed a handsome boy when he was young, not to mention coming from a super-rich family like Lampson, that she reluctantly agree.
In her own opinion, her marriage to Johnny was considered a lower marriage, because Johnny did not have a title and was not considered a noble.
The entire Lampson family, only the current old man, William Lampson, has a title. He was conferred by the Queen of Great Britain. He is a baron, but it is for life and cannot be hereditary.
The main reason why Adeline has such a concept is that she can be regarded as a noble lady. Her grandfather's grandfather was a baron who was canonized by the Great Britain. Unfortunately, her grandfather only had the title of baronet. , and her father only had the title of knight, which was actually equivalent to falling out of the ranks of the nobility.
In her generation, there is not even a knighthood, but she still considers herself a noblewoman.
After the divorce, she spent a lot of time in Dadian Country. In addition to her family’s ancestral property in Dadian Country, her family also had a small manor there, and her parents also In addition to living there often, what's more important is that she wants to find an ideal aristocratic companion there.
Unfortunately, after being divorced for so many years, although she had dated several people from noble backgrounds, none of them satisfied her.
Until a few months ago, she met Jacob, who was more than ten years younger than her. Her handsome face and elegant temperament immediately fascinated her. After that, the two started dating. Before she came to Xiuzhou this time, the two even started talking about marriage and talked about getting engaged within this year.
Originally everything seemed beautiful, but after Adeline received a call from Jacob the day before yesterday, her mood suddenly became very unhappy.
"Your mother has been in a bad mood these past two days. Does it have something to do with this man?"
After complaining a lot, Johnny finally got back to business.
Molly didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes. Her boyfriend called and said that an import and export company he runs is experiencing operating difficulties and urgently needs a capital turnover..."
"What? ?" Johnny immediately interrupted Molly and said with a glare, "This guy actually wants to ask your mother for money. No, he must be cheating. Your mother won't be stupid enough to give him money, right?"
Molly rolled her eyes at him and then said: "Of course not, my mother is certainly not that stupid. After all, they have only known each other for four or five years. It's impossible for us to have deep feelings for each other for months. My mother didn't agree to lend money, so her boyfriend was a little unhappy and said some hurtful things. It probably means that my mother doesn't love him, doesn't trust him, and then she may say that she wants to break up, which makes her feel bad for the past two days."
Johnny heard this. I was happy but also a little depressed at the same time, so I said, "Why do I feel that this man is probably a relationship liar, asking the woman for money in the name of falling in love?"
Molly said with some agreement: "I also think it is possible that he is a liar, but my mother does not believe that the other party is a liar. She said that she had already found someone to investigate him before confirming the relationship with him. He did come from a noble family, and he did inherit an old castle in the family. She even lived there for a while. ”
Johnny said with some itching: "Being from a noble family, what's so great about inheriting a castle? He is not a noble himself. Even if he is a noble, wouldn't he cheat money and sex? I think your mother is probably cheated by the other party. She was confused. Fortunately, she had some sense and didn't lend him money."
Molly didn't want to say it, but after hesitating, she finally said: "It's not that my mother didn't want to lend him money. , but the other party borrowed a lot of money, and she temporarily There is no time to take it out, and of course she has some worries and worries in her heart."
After hearing this, Johnny raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much does this guy want to borrow?"
Molly didn’t To show off, he said directly: "Two million pounds."
"Oh, this guy is really good at talking, two million pounds. Your mother actually thought about lending it to the other party. When did she become so in love? ”
Johnny had a look of disdain and rants on his face.
Adeline herself is also relatively good. Before marrying Johnny, she was a slightly famous young artist. A postmodern sculpture she once designed and created was bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars. .
After getting married, she stopped creating art. After she got divorced, she slowly began to engage in artistic creation again, but unfortunately she never made any waves again.
However, she quickly changed from an art creator to an art dealer, buying low and selling high or earning a fee and brokerage fee in the middle. She has really made a lot of money in the past few years. money.
It’s just that most of her wealth is not in cash, but in various collectibles that she bought with money. Her boyfriend asked for two million pounds, equivalent to more than two and a half million U.S. dollars, and she couldn't get it out at once.
What's more, she is not brainless after all. Even though she and her boyfriend have a good relationship now, she must still have some concerns about lending him so much money at once.
As a result, her hesitation meant that her boyfriend didn't trust or love him, and said he wanted to break up with her.
In Molly's opinion, her mother's boyfriend was a bit unreliable, but after all, she was her mother, so she still had to protect her, so she said to her father: "My mother is not a lover. It’s not stupid. I also advised her last night that if her boyfriend wants to break up with her, just break up with her.”
Appointment. When Johnny heard this, he immediately asked with concern: "Then did your mother agree to break up with the other party?"
After Molly choked for a moment, she said helplessly: "No, after all, before The two of them still have some feelings for each other, and it’s impossible to just break up.”
Johnny sneered: "If you don't lend the other party two million pounds, the other party will threaten your mother to break up. What is this but an emotional liar? If he really liked your mother, he would never ask your mother to borrow so much money, let alone Threatening to break up, is that what you said? What's the truth?"
Molly still agreed with her father's words. She nodded slightly and said, "I also think that the other party doesn't love my mother very much, especially if he threatens to break up, it is even more ungentlemanly. My mother might really like each other too much, I can't bear to break up, and I haven't been in a good mood these past two days. "
"It's true that your mother is still dreaming about pure love at such an old age. The noble prince fell in love with her and married her. It’s really a dream. No matter how hard you try to persuade your mother, don’t let her do something stupid and lend money to the other party.”
“I understand. ”
……
In addition to the invitations from Johnny and his daughter, of course other people also invited him that day, such as Zhang Kewei and Liu Meijun, both of whom wanted to ask him out for tea.
Of course Chen Feng refused, but this time he gave a clear reply.
There were also Jin Xinyan and Shen Lin. They both invited him to their home for dinner and called him directly, but he refused them both without much hesitation.
I had nothing to do. I read novels and watched short videos at home in the morning. Sun Xiaorui came back from the hospital around noon. After the examination, it turned out that there was nothing serious. The doctor asked her to pay more attention to rest and diet, and eat on time. Just the conditioning medicine will do.
Of course Chen Feng was relieved and told her not to be too busy with the general manager recruitment these days. Even if she couldn't find a suitable person within ten days, he, the boss, would take over first.
In the afternoon, Chen Feng went to the practice room to absorb energy and meditate as usual. The days were so boring and quiet, but they were not boring at all.
After all, there are two women living with him.
