Chapter 162: Backer.
While Ares was eating, Lu Xiao kept paying attention to his expression. Whether she really liked this pickled fish dish, she was still a little worried that Ares would hide himself because of her preference. Real thoughts.
But seeing Ares eating until the tip of his nose was sweating and his eyes were clear and bright, he didn't hold back at all. The smile on his lips widened a little: "Ares, this week we After going to Duke Gariodero's place together, we went to choose the hover car and finalize the location of the Earl's Palace, right?"
These were things they had agreed on before, but because there were too many things, they had been stuck. Couldn't proceed.
Now that I finally have some time, I have to seize the time to implement it.
But the main reason was that she wanted to go shopping with Ares.
Ares naturally had no objection to this and nodded: "Okay."
Lu Xiao did not ask Ares how the pickled fish was, because Ares had already taken practical actions. Prove that he likes it.
After the meal, the aroma of the food was still lingering in the office. Kevin couldn't help sniffing when he came in to clean up, and looked at Lu Xiao in surprise: "Your Excellency, you brought this What kind of dish is it? Did you cook it yourself? It smells so good."
He had just eaten the small cake that Lu Xiao invited everyone in their office to eat, but as soon as he came in and smelled the fragrance, he felt hungry again. .
Lu Xiao replied with a smile: "It's pickled fish, but it wasn't made by me. It was Robin, a chef in the S-class shelter. He has now established a restaurant there."
"That's it, I wonder if he will accept takeout orders!" If he accepts it, he will buy it and try it. After all, as long as it is not cooked by Lu Xiao himself, it is possible to eat it.
But Lu Xiao didn’t know anything about the takeout.
But Kevin doesn’t feel sorry at all. He has been in the military area for so long, how can he still not know anyone? He can always find out. What’s more, even if he can’t find out, he can still go to S-level in person. A trip to the shelter, right?
Although that kind of place is extremely unlucky for males, that was in the past. Since Mr. Lu Xiao appeared, when they mentioned S-class asylums again, it was no longer as taboo as before.
On the morning of Saturday, Lu Xiao made an appointment with Admiral Crane to go to Duke Luo's Mansion in Gallio.
Ares also accompanied him.
The night before, Lu Xiao and Ares prepared gifts for Your Excellency Cecilia. In addition to the tea that the imperial noble females like, there was also a pair of chubby and cute ceramics that symbolized good luck and good luck. Ornaments.
Lu Xiao personally selected it. She thought Cecilia would like such cute things.
When they arrived at the Duke of Gariodero's Palace, the housekeeper had been waiting at the door early in the morning because he had received the news in advance. When he saw them getting out of the car, he quickly greeted them: "Your Excellency Crane, Your Excellency Lu Xiao, Good day, Your Excellency Ares ”
When Lu Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the humble and respectful old housekeeper.
How a family behaves can often be seen from a housekeeper.
Obviously everyone in the Duke's Palace of Gariot was very polite and did not neglect Ares because of his status. This made her have a good impression of the Duke's Palace. When they followed the old housekeeper to the main hall door, Admiral Crane and Ares did not enter, but said to Lu Xiao: "Your grandmother wants to see you alone, so I will take Ares to familiarize herself with the environment."< br>
Lu Xiao didn't expect this. He was a little surprised, but it was not unacceptable. He nodded: "Okay, I will go find you later."
After speaking, Ares gave Ares a comforting look.
The old housekeeper then took Lu Xiao inside alone. At this moment, Cecilia was already sitting on a chair waiting for her. When he saw her coming in: "Long time no see, little Lu Xiao, I thought you wouldn't come. "How could it be possible, grandma, something happened recently, so I was delayed. I'm really sorry. I brought you some gifts to express my apologies!" Lu Xiao said with a natural smile. He handed the things to the housekeeper, and then he didn't need to be greeted by Cecilia, so he just sat down naturally.
Seeing her acting so naturally, without any of the restraints she felt after entering the Duke's Palace, she felt like she was home, which made Cecilia feel very good, and the smile on her face became much more real. .
Since she agreed to Admiral Crane's request and decided to raise the reputation of the Gariodero family and become Lu Xiao's backer, it was also necessary for Lu Xiao to treat Gariodero as her own family.
It wouldn't be interesting if both parties had all their reservations and scruples.
It can be said that Lu Xiao's test began from the first moment he stepped here, but fortunately, Lu Xiao got full marks very smoothly.
"I have heard about you, and I also heard that you are very courageous and helped your father solve the important case. You are very good." Cecilia's eyes were filled with approval. The Luo family, as a long-established family in the empire, has many books in its collection.
Cecilia has been studying since she was a child. Naturally, she knows very well that at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, they females were also very brave and good at fighting. It is not at all like today. They seem to have noble status and rights, but in fact they have It has developed into a waste-like existence.
Apart from eating, drinking, having fun, and enjoying the comfortable life brought by males with peace of mind, they have nothing to contribute to society.
Now, in Lu Xiao, she seemed to see the courage, sunshine, vitality and strong core that only the first generation of females had. How could this not make her happy?
“It’s just a coincidence.” Lu Xiao didn’t feel that she was really as good as Cecilia said. It was just that the situation at the time was more suitable for her, not to mention that in the end she still had to rely on Fred. The lieutenant general and the others had to fight to the death to escort him away.
This is the result of the hard work of a group of them, not her alone.
Seeing that she had won such an honor and was still neither arrogant nor impetuous, and could still maintain her original intention, Cecilia finally couldn't hide the smile she wanted to hide: "You have also suffered a lot. If there is a problem in the future, You can come here to see me for anything. Gariodero will be your solid backing and will never let you be wronged."
When Lu Xiao heard this, surprise flashed across her face. She knew that Ke was a good person. The purpose of Admiral Lan in bringing her here was to make Duke Galiodero's Palace her backing, but what she didn't expect was that Cecilia would promise her so simply.
She didn't even pay a price.
Seeing Lu Xiao's eyes widen unconsciously with a look of surprise, Cecilia felt at this moment that the female in front of her was young and didn't know how to hide her thoughts, but she was not annoying. It's a bit endearing, making people want to tease her deliberately.
“Why don’t you believe what I say?”
