Chapter 158 The Second Family Banquet
Wayne grabbed Chris's hand and slowly placed it on the hilt of the sword.
The delicate texture passed through the fingertips, and the magic power was transmitted, blurring out the moonlight-like condensed light, reflecting in Chris's eyes, her breathing accelerated, making her even more unable to refuse.
want to!
"Take it, just think it's borrowed from you. If I want it in the future, you can give it to me anytime." Wayne whispered.
The distance was so close that Chrissy’s ears turned 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 the courage to refuse.
But the woman's intuition also told her that the devil was whispering in her ears, and if she believed it, she would definitely pay a price.
After pondering for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, he finally couldn't refuse and said softly: "Wayne, I can borrow it for a while and give you an IOU, okay?"
"Forget the IOU. I believe in your character, Chris, and you will definitely return it as it is, just like new."
"..."
Chrissy sighed, blaming herself for not being able to control herself. If she had persisted just a little longer, she would have gotten through it!
"However, although I will help you keep it, but..."
Chrissy looked at the dagger in her hand and found that Wayne was still holding her hand. She smiled politely but awkwardly, and slowly pulled...pushed...out her hand.
So powerful! x2
“But the artistic value of this sword is very high. After all, you are the pastor of the Natural Church. Is it really okay to lend it to me? Will you be blamed by your teacher?”
Chrissy still felt something was wrong, she couldn't refuse and asked Wayne to think about it again.
"It doesn't matter. I'll just say you seduced me and I couldn't control it. I made the same mistake as any man." Wayne said it wasn't a big problem and he could always pass the blame.
Chrissy: (;)
Wouldn’t she become a bad girl in the eyes of Veronica’s mother?
No matter what, it's bad, it's Veronica's mother who was unethical and took Wayne away when she wasn't prepared.
Chris put away the dagger and said thank you to Wayne again.
She has this kind of character. She will be nicer to anyone who treats her well. She is very afraid of owing favors, and even more afraid of not being able to pay them back.
That is the so-called honest person!
“By the way, Chris, I’ve designed a few new stockings and clothes. I’ll be in trouble later while it’s getting late.” Venn diagram revealed that the progress of the strategy was up to standard, refreshing today’s results. Checkout screen.
"Is it okay tomorrow?"
Chris blushed and lowered his head. She was a model before and there was Willy here. She was ashamed but not that ashamed. She was alone tonight and it was too embarrassing.
After all, those skirts were 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 trouble you." Wayne sighed, saying that there was too much pressure and there was nothing he could do.
Chris hesitated for a while, unable to find a reason to refuse, so she could only follow Wayne into the bedroom.
"Is this...is it too short?"
"No, it looks beautiful with stockings."
"This is?"
"This is called a garter stocking, which consists of stockings and a garter belt. In order to better reflect the charm of women, the skirt is so short."
"It's still... too short. Will anyone buy it?"
"Chris, I am a professional fashion designer and I have produced popular items. You can question other things, but you cannot question my professional standards!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back to the room and change."
"No, it's too troublesome to run around. The maid will see how embarrassed you are, so right here, I'll lock the door, turn around and promise not to look."
"..."
I won’t accept any gifts next time!

Landau family.
The second family dinner.
Different from the hem and haha atmosphere last time, tonight was obviously much more harmonious.
Heaphy was 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.
When he saw Wayne peeking at Xiao Baicai, he immediately closed his eye.
Out of sight, out of mind, that’s it!
Veronica followed her mother's request and put on a white evening dress. She rarely wore skirts and only wore them on major occasions. She couldn't understand why a social waste would let her change twice. Put on the skirt.
Moreover, although the atmosphere was good, she felt something was strange.
That's right, she's not in the atmosphere!
Veronica: ()
Wayne: (ω)
Veronica: What tricks did you use? Why didn’t Mr. Landau stop snoring at you?
Wayne: Yes, it’s really strange when you say that!
Veronica: Bastard, don’t run away after eating. See how I deal with you.
Wayne: You'd be a jerk if you didn't run.
After dinner, Auston stood up and walked towards the study: "Wayne, come with me, I have something to tell you."
He chose a study room where he could discuss important matters with family members, rather than a study room dedicated to entertaining guests and strangers.
Veronica was stunned and horrified as she watched the two guys dressed in black leave. She swallowed hard and said in disbelief: "Mother, did you hear that? Mr. Landau talked to the trash of society!"
This was the first time Auston communicated with Wayne in Veronica's memory, and she thought the two would never talk in their lives.
"Don't be stupid, Wayne is not a waste of society, and he is not Mr. Landau, he is your father." Heaphy corrected him.
“Hisssssss——”
Veronica took a breath and opened her mouth wide: "I have a father?"
Xifei: "..."
Nonsense, how did you get here without a father? Even if you lay eggs, you have to have a male!
Veronica also knew that she had said nonsense, so she quickly came to Xifei and said in surprise: "I mean, mother, will you stop quarreling with father in the future?"
"We've never had any quarrel before."
"Uh-huh."
Veronica nodded repeatedly, her eyes slightly moist, and continued: "Then you have to promise that you won't beat him for no reason in the future."
"..."
"Mother, please speak!"
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Xifei was slightly embarrassed. Seeing her daughter's look of disappointment, she hurriedly coaxed: "The reason is hard to explain. You will understand it later. One day you will understand that when a particularly annoying face appears in front of you, you will be unbearable." Hit him with one punch."
Veronica didn't understand. After thinking about it, she did have such a face.
She didn't think about it carefully and asked: "Father and Wayne are acting weird today. I suspect that between them..."
I couldn't think of a suitable adjective for a moment, so I made a few gestures with my hands and said seriously: "There is an ulterior secret between them. They must have reached an agreement, and they will join forces to do bad things in the future."
"That's true."
Heaphy laughed out loud and corrected again: "But it's not that we join forces to do bad things. It's because Wayne has to learn how to do bad things for the sake of this family."
It’s so funny that he still needs to learn?
"Mother, have you never seen his day..."
Veronica realized something was wrong mid-sentence, and her heart thumped: "Mother, what is Wayne's agreement for this family?"
Veronica felt like she was missing out on a lot, and everyone knew that she was the only one left out.
Xiffy touched Veronica's golden retriever: "Your father chose Wayne as his heir, and he will be the male master of the Landau family in the future."
"Why him? His last name is not Landao!"
Veronica looked confused, and her face suddenly changed: "Mother, it's difficult, it's difficult, is it..."
"Yes, it's exactly what you imagined."
Xifei blinked and smiled ambiguously. Fortunately, her reaction was not slow, and she was a little clever, so that was up to her.
"Wayne is truly his father's son..."
Veronica felt like the sky was falling, her eyes were empty, and she murmured: "Although I have always felt that they are very similar, I never thought that Wayne would be my brother... I No, I don’t want such a brother.”
"Don't talk nonsense, how could Wayne be your brother? That bastard doesn't dare to mess around outside!"
(￣俣)(;)
Xifey punched Veronica on the head and took back what she said before. The child did not follow her, and inherited neither shrewdness nor vision.
Sure enough, the asshole husband was right, from now on I can only rely on Wayne.
"What's going on? Why can he become the heir of the Landau family? I've been squeezed out." Veronica pouted, very unhappy.
"Is there a possibility that his children will inherit the blood of the Landau family?" Xifei reminded.
"There is such a thing as..."
"Huh?"
"Eh!"
“Eh————”————
study.
Meghan closed the door and stood quietly outside.
Wayne glanced at the door that was slowly closing. Strangely, he seemed to hear something.
It shouldn't be, the sound insulation of Landau's house is very good.
Auston was sitting on the sofa, playing with the ancient silver coins in his hand. When he found Monica who was integrated into the black sofa, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Megan pushed the door open and walked in, holding the black cat out of the house.
Wayne secretly thought that it was a pity that he was a step too slow and missed the opportunity to lift it high.
"At the end of the month, there will be a bidding meeting in Luzell, the capital of Luzeburg, to determine a new partner..."
Auston played with the ancient silver coins and told the contents of the bidding meeting.
The full name of Luzerburg is the Grand Duchy of Luzerburg, with a land area of 2,500 square kilometers. It is a small landlocked country surrounded by Frankfurt and Prussia, also known as a pocket kingdom.
Being a small country, people have resources, the territory is rich in iron ore resources, the economy has developed rapidly in the past fifty years, the iron and steelmaking industry is first-rate, and the industrial scale is considerable, making it a world-class steel power.
"The Landau family has a partner in Frankland that can provide a large amount of high-quality coal mines. At the same time, Prussia next door also has a coal mining area next to it. You represent the Landau family in the bidding meeting. Our partner can fail, but Prussia absolutely cannot Win!" Auston said.
Wayne raised his brows and smelled the smell of great power politics in business activities. On the surface, he was appeasing and retreating, but he never stopped making extravagant moves.
"Is this a test for me?"
"It's up to you, it can be yes or no, there's no need to feel pressure, a failure doesn't mean anything, just consider it as tuition payment." Auston said nonchalantly.
Wayne didn't know whether he really didn't care or whether he pretended not to care. No matter how you 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 necessary!
Wayne raised his eyebrows and was about to slap his chest and swear on the spot that he could lose and the Boswell family must go bankrupt.
If you snatch the meat from his bowl, this family will be doomed!
When the words came to his mouth, Wayne thought about it, and his emotions were aroused by Laoden. It was not certain whether the Boswell family had proposed marriage.
but……
It's possible that it won't work, this family is doomed!
"I will go to Luzelle at the end of the month to discuss this business. Prussia cannot win, and neither can the Boswell family." Wayne accepted the task, and he was worried about others going there.
He felt uneasy at the thought of the Boswells possibly winning.
It makes him uncomfortable just thinking about it. If it becomes a reality, he will be pissed to death!
Wayne was speechless. Old Den saw through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, and with a little trick, he had no way out.
No, this was clearly a guide when looking in the mirror.
"Wayne, remember this sentence, don't overdo it. Credit is a consumable. Whether in business or as a person, you must always leave room for yourself."
Auston laughed: "I don't expect you to negotiate this business. The Landau family has limited influence in Frankland, and our partners do not have the advantage of quoting. The reason for letting you go is to learn and learn how to write failure." "
"Isn't that a loss?"
"There are only so many principles in business. As long as you pay enough tuition and work hard, you can learn all the principles." Auston glanced at Wayne. The family didn't have money, so he used it to lose.
Alston is glowing at this moment!
Wayne was overwhelmed by the opponent's money making ability. Being under pressure was not his character, so he decided to do something to reverse the situation.
At least, the proud father-in-law should be pulled down from above.
Wayne took a deep breath: "I understand. I will complete the task, fight to win, and try my best to gain more benefits for the family."
"As long as you understand, I will send a professional team to accompany you, and they will come up with charters and plans for you." Auston nodded with satisfaction. Although he is very similar to him, he is really young and needs to be polished for a while.
"Auston, I carefully selected a gift for the family dinner. The file box is in the car. You will definitely like it." Wayne's face was solemn.
"No, you don't have to feel like you owe me anything. I said before that if I didn't have a choice, I wouldn't fall in love with you." Auston raised his eyes contemptuously and continued to play with the ancient silver coins.
He has never seen anything like this, and I want to please him, haha, it’s just a fool’s errand.
"These are the latest stockings!"
"..."
Auston's hand holding the ancient silver coin froze slightly, and he said nothing. Silence is golden.
"Auston, do you want it? If not, I'll take it back."
"Uh, well, let's take it over and take a look. After all, it's a new model from Heifei Company. I think it's necessary to check it to prevent her from losing money." Auston didn't blush or breath. He loved his wife, that's all.
Nothing else!
"Meghan, I have stockings in my car, and Auston said he wanted to..."
"Ahem!"
Auston coughed repeatedly and glared at Wayne fiercely. He was a damn social waste. He has no sense at all. How can he do big things in the future?
He snorted coldly and said to the door: "Meghan, there is a file box in the young master's car. Take it over. The stuff is very important, so don't make it public."
Megan: (_)
She heard it all, it’s just stockings, there’s no need to be secretive.
…
The camera turned and it was already ten minutes later.
Megan glanced at the people who were wearing white gloves, put down the file box with an expressionless expression, 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. Hearing the laughter behind him, he turned around to look fiercely.
Wayne looked serious.
Damn social trash!
Damn cement bucket!
Deliberately making him look embarrassed, it won’t end today!
Click!
Wayne opened the file box and the moment he pushed it open, Auston seemed to see light rising into the sky.
"What's this?"
"I made the finished garters on 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, while he picked up the suspenders and explained how to put them on.
It's somewhat redundant. A high-class person like Auston doesn't need instructions at all, but this is a necessary process. He is a designer, and if he tells it personally, the product will be more attractive.
One of them spoke, the other listened, with serious expressions as if they were guarding justice.
Megan: (_)
This is the worst time that justice has been hacked.
"Asshole, you take something like this as a gift? I don't have any use for it! Besides, it's too obscene!"
"Just say whether you want it or not."
"After all, it's your intention. It's my first time to give you a gift, so I can't refuse it. Remember, today is an exception. Don't give me this kind of thing next time. You'll dirty your eyes!"
"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 be sold. They are considered waste manuscripts and will be burned when I get back."
"Don't worry about it yet. You may have misunderstood the market. Let me criticize how far ahead 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 garment is now designed for men, but I have made some minor changes."
Auston's eyes lit up and he asked: "You are really a genius. Tell me, how did you change it?"
"Imagine if this underwear is paired with suspenders, how would gentlemen fight against each other?"
“Hisssssss——”
Auston imagined it and stuffed all the manuscripts into his office drawer: "Wayne, we are here 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. I can survive until now because I am not afraid of death!"
