Chapter 84 Family Banquet
“Ah, the family banquet is on July 25th, which is tomorrow night?”
"What's wrong, you have a date?"
Xifei put down the suit and leather shoes she had made for Wayne and said unceremoniously: "You are still young. Young people should put their studies first and don't always think about dating girls. Listen to my sister and refuse this date. I will introduce my daughter to you another day."
"But I have promised..."
"It's such a happy decision!"
Xifei stuffed the clothes into Wayne's hand, pushed him into the bedroom, closed the door and said, "Try to see if the clothes fit. If they don't fit, I'll take them back and change them."
"What a coincidence."
Wayne hugged his clothes and changed helplessly. He made an appointment to attend Veronica's small party on the evening of the 25th, which happened to overlap with Heaphy's family dinner.
After changing his outfit, Wayne stood in front of the floor-length mirror and looked sideways. The fabric was of high quality, the workmanship was exquisite, and the fit was perfect.
He was very sure that he had never been in contact with a measurer in a clothing store. He could only say that Xiffy had a tape measure for her eyes and was worthy of being Paris' first-class clothing designer.
Speaking of clothing design, Wayne thought of stockings and curiously asked outside the door: "Teacher, three months ago you said you would arrange for someone to study stockings. Have you produced samples?"
"I'm already urging you to do it. We're in the process of trying it on the model. The finished product will have to wait for a while."
"I suggest hurrying up. It's almost August, and summer is the best-selling season for stockings."
"I know, I know, have you changed yet? You're dragging your feet like a woman. Do you want me to put on makeup for you?" Xifei was complaining when she saw Wayne push the door open and walk out, and was stunned for a moment.
As a female fashion designer, Heaphy has only made clothes for two men, one a jerk husband and the other a student.
She didn't think anything of it just by looking at the clothes. When the clothes were put on Wayne, the more she looked at them, the more she felt that the two men were very similar, not only in terms of hair color and appearance, but also in their inner... temperament.
That kind of stubborn and rebellious temperament that appears to be obedient on the surface!
Xifei frowned, Goddess above, blessing must be an illusion. When you chose your husband, you picked a jerk, so don't choose another jerk when you choose your apprentice.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Seeing the teacher's unkind look, Wayne subconsciously raised his sleeves and took a look. The suit was lining his body. When he wore this suit, his quality immediately went up.
There's nothing wrong with it, it looks like a human but can be worn.
"Nothing, I thought of something unpleasant."
Heaphy waved his hand and told Wayne not to go anywhere on the afternoon of the 25th, and that he would be picked up by then.
After that, Feng Fenghuo went out and went back to the office to work.
Wayne shrugged, changed out of his suit and hung it in the cupboard. After changing into casual clothes, he plunged into the basement and invited Abin and Yulia to wander along the sewer.
The Target Detective Agency helps the displaced fellow villagers along the way.
Everything can be broken, and the roll cannot be stopped. If it is not rolled, there will be no future!
Wayne rode up and down, and it was already dark when he came to the detective agency. He checked and smelled the lingering fragrance of a magical girl in the air, guessing that Veronica had been here today. .
Sure enough, there was a note from the other party on the desk.
[Why haven’t you taken the diary away yet? Call me back quickly]
Until now, the detective agency had not installed a telephone, and every time it was Wayne who took the initiative to contact the other party. Veronica couldn't even find Wayne's phone number.
What makes Veronica angry the most is that we are all so familiar and have never exchanged each other's Letter Bird address books.
Wayne was very helpless, but he thought that he was too busy during this period, and the phone line at the temporary address was cut off, so the maintenance workers have not yet come to the door.
Lundan is like this. He makes a bunch of promises to lure customers in. Once the money arrives, manpower is tight, resulting in a very poor customer experience.
Wayne put on his diary, went to the street and dialed the phone, and soon got in touch with Veronica.
He may have to give everyone a miss on the date on the 25th. The main character will be absent. I hope the organizer will not be angry.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Wayne? Is he so busy lately?"
"In order to survive, it's better to be busy!"
Wayne smiled cheekily. It was unethical to break up the date, especially to three beautiful girls, and he thought about how to throw the blame away without hurting his feelings.
Unexpectedly, before he opened his mouth, Veronica hesitated: "I have some emergencies at tomorrow night's party, so we may have to change the day."
"What do you mean, you have relatives here?"
"That's right..."
"It's not that I'm talking about you. We set a date a week in advance. If you say no, you just break the date. You are still a girl, don't you know how to calculate dates?"
"I thought we were friends, and I believed you so much. Is this how you treat your friends?"
Upon hearing Veronica's words, Wayne's voice immediately became louder. As we all know, he hates people who do not keep their word.
On the other side of the phone, Veronica apologized softly. She had already explained to Willie and Chris that she had been unable to contact Wayne, so she made a special trip to the detective agency.
"What's the use of talking about this now? Do you know how much I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's party? Veronica, you've let me down so much!" Wayne yelled loudly: "Also, you want to apologize for being so quiet, there is no sincerity at all. No."
This is unreasonable, don’t be too arrogant!
Veronica was furious, took a deep breath, thought that she was indeed at fault first, and apologized quietly again.
"sorry."
"Louder."
"sorry---"
"Why are you shouting so loudly!"
When Wayne finished speaking, the person on the other end had already hung up the phone. He snorted and walked out of the phone booth, walking steadily like a victorious general.

July 25th.
Family dinner.
Wayne spent a whole day furiously filling out his diary. In the diary, he was shown to be generous, kind, upright, brave, neither greedy for money nor lewd. He also added a plot that kept up with current events, in which he kept his appointments despite facing hundreds of evil gods.
Documentary works focus on the truth!
The author hopes to use his personal practice of greatness and integrity and his example of truth, kindness and beauty to awaken the lost conscience in readers and make them deeply aware of their mistakes.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, a high-end black car parked in front of No. 13 Manor Street.
Wayne was dressed in a suit and refused the driver's courtesy of opening the door. He opened the car door himself and got into the back seat.
Xifei attended the event dressed up, wearing a self-designed brand evening dress, a black long skirt, slightly exposed shoulders, showing unparalleled elegance and nobility.
The neckline of the dress is uniquely designed, with a deep V-neck but not too deep, showing off the delicate collarbone and slender neck.
She wore a pair of earrings inlaid with green diamonds, and the pendant on her chest was also made of green gemstones. She was low-key, calm, luxurious and friendly.
For other aspects, such as body curves, Wayne simply ignored them out of respect for the teacher.
"How about this outfit, sister?"
What does it have to do with clothes? What you want to ask is whether you look beautiful today, right?
Wayne complained in his heart, put on a pleasing face, nodded and praised: "Goddess above, besides the goddess of nature, the teacher is the most beautiful."
Xifei was greatly impressed, but she still pointed out Wayne's mistake. In addition to the goddess of nature, the two goddesses of the sun and moonlight are also noble and elegant. She ranks fourth at most.
Wayne: (_)
Okay, they are all old ladies anyway. Teacher, you are the youngest. Just be happy.
…
The ancestral manor of the Landau family is located at the junction of the West District and the Central District of Nellundam. In the early years, before the expansion of Lundam City, the manor was located in a very remote location. With the advent of the industrial age, Lundam City became larger and larger. , the remote ancestral land has become a luxurious area close to the financial center.
This mansion is located behind a wide forest with an open lawn behind it. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feels like entering another world.
The mansion is composed of a main building and two side wings. There is also the eldest lady's private villa in the back garden a little further away. Viewed from a high altitude, each building has its own unique architectural style and beauty.
The interior of the manor building is worthless, and there is nothing to say. Sitting in the car, Wayne could not see the small nature reserve in the back garden. He only knew that the forest path in front of the main building was very long, and the path around the lawn was very long. The fountain is huge. It's more like a resort hotel than a manor.
These are not the important points. The important point is that when he entered the door, Wayne saw the family crest on both sides of the door.
The tulip logo is particularly eye-catching and is exactly the same as the emblem of the Landau family in Enlord Town.
Wayne: (一`一;)
Big shot, Mr. Landau, Heaphy, Veronica, family crest...
After a little analysis and rational thinking, Wayne figured it all out.
No wonder after meeting Veronica, a mysterious big man suddenly appeared and wanted to stuff Veronica into a cement bucket to fill the river;
No wonder Mr. Landau, the big capitalist who opened the bank, couldn't deal with the big shot;
No wonder Mr. Landau could not deal with the big shot, but his teacher easily dealt with him;
No wonder...
Wayne was suddenly enlightened, and the question that had been bothering him for a long time was answered. He looked at Xifei with a look of resentment: "Teacher, I just saw the family emblem of the Landau family. It's really good. It's exactly the same as the one in Enlord Town!"
"There is such a thing, didn't I tell you?" Xifei was very surprised.
"The students didn't ask."
"Well, that's good if you know."
Xifei greatly appreciated it, patted Wayne on the shoulder, and joked: "My sister wanted to introduce her daughter to you before, but you always refused. Do you regret it now?"
ε=(--;
Wayne sighed speechlessly. It turned out that he was not being taken care of by the teacher and the eldest lady respectively, but had always been taken care of by the Landau family.
It's great to meet such a teacher who likes to amuse students.
In this way, Veronica's sudden break-up of the appointment can be explained.
"Teacher, does Veronica know?"
"She didn't ask either."
"That's great. I'm not the only one being fooled."
Wayne complained loudly and turned to look out the window. It was outrageous. It had been a while since the car drove through the gate, but it hadn't arrived yet.
This is the city center!
Has Mr. Landau ever considered building a subway in the yard?
Build it quickly, otherwise the doorman and the maid will break up again because of their long-distance relationship.
…
The high-end black car stopped, and the servant stepped forward and opened the door.
After getting out of the car, Wayne stretched out his hand so that Heaphy could use his strength. This was a bonus tip taught by the butler Fula. When in front of a lady, you should not only maintain your own etiquette, but also maintain the elegance of the other party.
When the lady is elegant, he himself becomes elegant.
"lady."
On both sides of the main entrance, servants stood in two rows. The housekeeper Meghan stepped forward, put her hand on her chest and bowed slightly.
Wayne didn't feel anything. Maybe it was because the road just now was too long. The scene before him was completely expected by him. Unless the Queen was wearing a maid uniform and sweeping the floor at the gate, there was no way she could scare him again.
"Megan, this is my student Wayne."
Heaphy looked at Wayne beside her and said to Megan: "From now on, we will call him Master Wayne."
Megan nodded, bowed slightly to Wayne, and called him Master Wayne.
Wayne bowed his head and returned the greeting, and at the same time he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he was a stranger staying overnight, but Fra always called him Master. It turned out to be like this.
He looked curiously at Meghan, who turned around to lead the way with a calm face, dressed in a women's suit and looking decent and serious.
Is this the woman who defeated Fra?
It's quite beautiful.
Meghan is not only beautiful, she has stunning appearance, elegant figure, and calm temperament. As a housekeeper, there is nothing wrong with her appearance.
Ordinary stuff!
Wayne is dissatisfied. Housekeepers should not just look at appearance, the key lies in professionalism. He still believes that Fra is the best housekeeper. Megan must have used a promotion device to get to the top.
Thinking of this, Wayne looked at Xifei quite angrily, "Teacher, these girls are having an affair with your husband."
Looking at it, I immediately noticed something strange.
So similar!
Wayne compared the teacher and the housekeeper. The two figures overlapped. Megan's short blond hair appearance and rigorous and meticulous temperament made her a replica of Heaphy almost from beginning to end.
It's too similar to be called plagiarism, it's exactly the same.
So, the teacher’s husband didn’t cheat, but every time he cheated, he always thought about the teacher?
I can’t tell that he is still a dedicated lover!
Entering the door of the villa, you will be greeted by a spacious and bright hall with high ceilings, gorgeous chandeliers and exquisite murals, as well as a red carpet-covered staircase leading directly to the second floor.
When luxury and elegance are perfectly integrated and complement each other to the extreme, it is no longer important whether it is money or not, the key is the artistic component.
The ancestral home of the Landau family has a high artistic content and is as tall as a skyscraper.
After a while, Meghan opened the white door in front of her. The magnificent restaurant was extremely elegant, and every ornament had an extraordinary origin.
Wayne couldn't understand it and didn't pay much attention. He looked intently at the man on the main seat.
Wearing a black suit similar to his, with handsome features and a very young appearance, he was playing with an ancient silver coin in his hand.
Auston Landau.
Auston stood up and walked towards the hostess of the house with a smile. He only had Heaphy in his eyes and didn't even look at Wayne.
Wayne was automatically placed in the blind spot of the field of vision, and his peripheral vision was nowhere to be seen.
Auston raised his hand to guide the hostess to sit down, but the effect was very mediocre. Xifei snorted and walked directly past her husband.
"snort!"
Auston slowly retracted his hand, his smile disappeared, he looked at his wife's back, and snorted with a straight face.
"ha!"
Xifei heard this and was not to be outdone.
"snort!"
"ha!"
"..."
Wayne: You two are just like the second general!
This bowl of expired dog food is very salty.
Wayne was not surprised when he failed to get Auston's attention. As long as he brought in the suffering master's vision, everything would be taken for granted.
Bad news: The pretty boy fucked the little cabbage.
Good news: The pretty girl’s face is moisturized.
Bad news: The pretty girl's face was half moisturized and she hooked up with Lao Baicai again.
Good news: Lao Baicai is back home.
Bad news: the pretty boy went home too.
Wayne nodded repeatedly, yes, he deserved it. If someone had treated him like this, Abin, Yulia, and Abo would have been in charge long ago.
Under the guidance of the butler, Wayne took his seat and looked up. Opposite him was Veronica, who was dressed in an evening dress and dressed up carefully.
Veronica: ()
Wayne: (ω)
