Chapter 196

"Is this the downfall from my mother-in-law?" Li Zitao thought in his heart.

To make the atmosphere so tense, at best, is to show importance to his arrival.

But when I think about it again, there is indifference in this solemnity.

He is Adelaide's fiance and future family. If he really wants to admit his identity, why should he be so serious and formal?

"Li, please take your seat." Said Dagong, standing on the throne.

Li Zitao walked to her left hand. Adelaide wanted to keep up with her, but stopped in the stern eyes of the Duke.

"I'd better sit here." I thought Li Zitao would go to the first place on the left side, but he stopped in the third position on the left hand.

The second one is Jean, the eldest son of Dagong. Li Zitao chose the position he started with.

"Mother, we shouldn't have allowed guests to stand." Said the first, let modesty.

"Take your seat." Li Zitao smiles all the way, and the bodyguards at the door guard by the box.

"Charlie, what have you got?" During the meal, Little Mary opened the topic cleverly.

"Some worthless little gifts." Li Zitao waved at will and asked people to open all the boxes.

Shua ~

Little Mary's eyes widened, only to feel countless golden beams from the box, through the rock fortress, straight into the sky.

The first box, full of gold tiles, engraved with Adelaid's name, was actually made for her.

The second box, boxes of jewelry, jewelry.

These are all top jewels from all over the world, worth tens of millions of dollars.

In the third box, there is a coral tree, just on the coral, inlaid with various gems and pearls.

It's a collection from west. There are several coral trees in the antique shop. This is a medium-sized product.

The fourth box is a bracket with a crown on it.

The crown, also from the collection of West, is one of many lost during the revolt against the royal family of state y in the 16th century.

In the fifth box, there is a thin bracket, on which is a document.

Among all the gifts, Li Zitao thinks that this document is the most valuable, because as long as he signs it, he can get 30% of the shares of the blue and white chamber of Commerce.

"Are these your worthless little gifts?" Little Mary blinked, thinking her head was not enough.

"They're just worldly things, not worth mentioning compared to the glorious history of Luxemburg." Li Zitao said it sincerely, but everyone could understand his meaning.

No matter how brilliant the Nassau family was, the Luxemburg family is now in a state of decline.

If the situation can not be changed, sooner or later it will become a declining royal family.

"Cough." The Duke coughed slightly and moved away his shocked eyes. However, his face was not as rigid and serious as before.

"Mother, Charlie and I really love each other." Adelaide stood up a little agitated.

Li Zitao has done this step. If she has not indicated that, then this fiancee's identity is too unqualified.

"Eat first." The Duke looked at her and sighed silently when he found his daughter's stubborn eyebrows.

Among all the children, Adelaide is the most satisfied and beloved daughter.

The Duke thought that she arranged everything. As long as she married the count, she would soon be promoted to heaven at his age.

At that time, she can bring a lot of wealth to the family. Besides, it doesn't matter to marry or raise a few lovers.

In Europe's upper class society, it is a tacit rule that men have mistresses and women have lovers.

However, once put on the surface, by the spouse to know such a thing, it must be an open fight.

Unless one side's power is so big that the other side does not dare to retaliate, it can only suppress this tone.

But now it seems that Adelaide is not satisfied with all this. She wants to choose marriage and happiness according to her wishes.

"But must your choice be right?" Thinking silently in his heart, Dagong has been observing Li Zitao during the meal.

Li Zitao, on the contrary, is very relaxed. He has a pleasant chat with his future brother-in-law. Little Mary interposes a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

And he and Adelaide occasionally meet the brow, sweet hair greasy, let her brothers and sisters eat a stomach of dog food.

"Li, Mary, come to my study." Dagong kept silent until the end of the meal and took them to the study alone.

"Charlie is so romantic." Looking at the boxes of gold bricks, Little Mary's eyes twinkled with the stars of money fans.

"This is the most valuable one. Judging from its workmanship and patterns, I'm sure it comes from the royal family of state y in the middle ages."

"The eldest daughter of the Duchess," said Elizabeth, pointing to the crown.

"This coral tree is so beautiful. I think my mother will put it in her study and let it appear in her eyes all the time." Prince Charles, 14, laughs."Didn't you all pay attention to that document?" Little Mary regained her consciousness and quietly touched a piece of gold brick and hid it in her sleeve.

"Little Mary, your sleeve is falling off." Elizabeth said helplessly.

"Sister, Alex wants it, too." The youngest princess held her head high and looked longingly at her sleeve.

"Damn it, it's not fun at all." Little Mary angrily threw the gold brick back into the box and walked back with her face lost.

"My BRICs, I know Charlie first. I need compensation. Sasha, you need to pay me one third No, half of the bricks... "

In the study, the Duke sat on the soft chair and looked at the two people in front of him in silence.

"He is very handsome. If it is not for his skin color, he will be pursued by ladies. He started from scratch with cruel means, but he knows how to share and be humble.

he also has a clear understanding of his own definition and knows when to retreat..."

After little Mary came back, Dagong began to investigate Li Zitao's information.

If you look at his performance alone, he is better than most of the aristocratic descendants. No one can achieve more brilliant achievements than him at the age of 18.

Except, of course, the lucky ones of those times.

But behind those lucky ones, there are deep-rooted families and huge interest networks.

What does Li Zitao have? A Chinese laborer who was sold to America.

It may be rude to say so, but it really happened to him.

In a short period of one year, with his own efforts and wisdom, he changed from a pig to a business tycoon. "It's incredible."

"Mary, do you really decide to marry him?" The Duke suddenly opened his mouth.

"Yes, mother, I fell in love with him, we..."

"Don't lie to me. You haven't known each other for less than a month." Dagong doesn't want to hear the bloody love story.
