After hanging up the phone, Long Chengxuan looked at his wife beside him: "Do you think... the experience of the person Xiao Ang talks about is a bit similar to that of Qiu Jin's family?"
Although Zhang Xiaomo also felt this way, she would not think so: "This kind of company bankruptcy and debt happens every day, right? And Xiaojin never told me what boyfriend she met when she was in the UK."
"This is the strangest thing? She has been in the UK for nearly ten years and has not had a boyfriend?"
This sentence really makes Zhang Xiaomo have nothing to say. Although people nowadays are no longer as indispensable to marriage as before, and there are many people who hold celibacy, it seems that it is really not normal for Qiu Jin to have not had a boyfriend for more than ten years. After all, she is a normal woman, without any religious beliefs, and she is also good-looking, has a good temper, and has the ability. There must be many people chasing her...
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaomo hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "This is Xiaojin's personal privacy. If she doesn't take the initiative to say, I won't ask."
Hearing his wife say this, Long Chengxuan smiled: "Don't worry, I don't plan to ask you to ask her. And we can't be sure if Hobbes came here for his woman. If there is anything, let's leave it until tomorrow."
"Um!"
Time passed quickly. Just as I closed my eyes, it was the next morning. The two people sitting in the study playing games suddenly heard a knock on the door. Su Hua said respectfully outside the door: "Sir, Madam, I received a call from the little Duke of Tulip, saying that I hope to visit at noon."
Long Chengxuan then stopped and nodded to him: "Well, I made an appointment last night. Look at the lunch set for lunch. I guess he will have lunch here."
"yes!"
Zhang Xiaomo also stepped down from the game: "Remember Wanrong to come and help me dress up. After all, if you have a distinguished guest on the door, you should pay attention to some etiquette."
This is the difference. Even if you make an appointment in advance, Zhang Xiaomo is waiting for them facelessly, but if a guest comes over, she will still deal with herself a little. After all, she is the wife of the Long family now and can't slander the Long family.
Long Chengxuan understood his wife's thoughts and kissed her with a smile: "It's good to dress up every day, don't be too formal." According to European customs, formal banquets are to be in the evening. If Long Chengxuan's appointment comes to the evening, then he and Zhang Xiaomo have to greet each other in formal wear. Since the appointment is at noon, this time it will be an informal meeting.
Zhang Xiaomo nodded with a smile, and then followed Mo Wanrong back to the room. Long Chengxuan smiled, took a shower in the study, and changed into a semi-formal home clothes.
After going downstairs, he went to the baby room to check out the two children. Recently, in order to relax his wife, he made up his mind to let the children sleep in separate rooms with them. At most, Mo Wanrong would come to see them at night and feed them another breastfeeding. He would leave them alone for the rest of the time. He would try to let them rest by themselves during the day. Only when they were awake would everyone chat with them and make fun of them.
When he opened the door, he saw the two babies being together and babbling. Long Chengxuan smiled and went over to tease his daughter, then looked at An Jing's son: "Boy, take good care of your sister. Dad may not have time to accompany you today." In fact, he can be considered as having no time to accompany his son and daughter all day long. After all, isn't it the most important thing for a wife?
After staying with the child for a while, Long Chengxuan left the room. At this time, the time was already pointing to 10:50. If the guest was going to be a guest, he would definitely arrive before 11:00, otherwise it would be rude.
Zhang Xiaomo changed his clothes, put on his makeup and came downstairs. He saw her husband standing in the living room and looking at the clock on the wall: "Have you come yet?"
"I think he should be coming soon." Otherwise, it would be rude. With the Hobbes family's upbringing, they should not have done such a thing.
As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell had already heard. Su Hua walked out of the kitchen. Although he was cooking just now, his body was as clean as if it was spotless.
When he welcomed Hobbes in, Long Chengxuan walked over with a smile: "Mr. Hobbes, welcome."
"I'm disturbing." After saying that, Hobbs held his hand. At this time, his entourage also presented a bottle of wine: "It's my intention to come and visit."
"Young Duke, come, please sit down."
The guest of honor sat down, and Mo Wanrong also presented the freshly brewed tea. When he smelled the fragrance, Hobbs looked at her with some surprise: "Thank you!"
Mo Wanrong just smiled and stepped down gently.
After a few greetings, Hobbs found that Long Chengxuan had no intention of getting to the topic at all, and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied in his heart. But now, he has a request to others, so it is normal for others to behave like a person.
Wait, what to ask for? Hobbs can stand out among so many descendants in the family, not entirely relying on his direct bloodline. You should know that as a family with a long history, even direct bloodlines will be many. Just like in his family, there are as many as twelve brothers, brothers, sisters and sisters. Although they were not born from the same mother, it is indeed the Duke's direct bloodline. This is not the case with the Duke's birth outside.
So he still knows the human nature very well. He understands that now he has something to ask for, not others have something to ask for, so Hobbs immediately adjusted his mentality.
Long Chengxuan, who was sitting on the side, thought that his casual attitude would make Hobbes very dissatisfied, but he didn't expect that he could adjust his mentality so quickly. Such a person made him look at him differently.
At this time, Hobbes finally decided to stop his bored and time-wasting behavior: "The next thing is a very secret thing for me. The one who follows me is my housekeeper, and I can trust him as much as I trust myself. I don't know, Mr. Long..."
Long Chengxuan smiled and held his wife's hand: "Everyone who can stay in this family is worthy of my trust. The little duke may say something directly. I can guarantee that what happened today will never be spread from the mouths of anyone in this family."
After getting his guarantee, Hobbes hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe him: "I have something very personal to ask Mr. Long to help me."
Sure enough, things came. Long Chengxuan thought to himself, but there was no unnecessary expression on his face: "What's the matter?"
"I want to ask Mr. Long to help me find a person and a woman." After a brief pause, he said again: "This matter involves an agreement between me and my father, so I can't let others know that I'm looking for her. I just want to know where she is and whether she has been doing well over the years."
Hearing this, Long Chengxuan guessed something in his heart, and he really made his brother's crow guess. However, he personally did not want to interfere in this matter. Because the Grand Duke is still in power and holds absolute real power in his hands, it has a significant impact on the Tulip Principality and even the entire Europe. He does not want to offend the Grand Duke because of this matter.
Seeing his hesitation, Hobbes guessed that he might already know his past: "Mr. Long, you must have known my affairs?" After seeing Long Chengxuan nodding, he smiled bitterly: "I didn't think about reconciling the old relationship with her. I was not dealing with the things back then, so she and her family suffered such pain. And at her most painful and difficult moment, I chose to betray her and abandon her. Even if she was willing to forgive me, I couldn't face her again. So, I just wanted to know whether she was doing well."
If this is the case, Long Chengxuan thought he could help. Find someone and answer him with just one sentence is enough. Even if the Grand Duke knows, he will not complain about his actions: "Do you have any information about her?"
I thought it would take some lip and tongue to touch Long Chengxuan, but I didn't expect that he agreed so easily. Hobbes was surprised and also had many surprises: "Some! Some!" After that, he looked at the butler beside him.
The butler hesitated for a moment and wanted to persuade his little master, but when he thought that he was outside, he could not lose his manners as the butler, so he could only politely hand over the information in his hand.
Mo Wanrong, who was serving on the side, smiled and took the information from him, and respectfully placed it in front of Long Chengxuan. Her demeanor and dynamics were impeccable. Just looking at her actions, you will know that the background of the Long family is not inferior to that of ordinary noble families.
Long Chengxuan didn't have time to pay attention to what Hobbes was thinking. He picked up the information and opened it and read it. However, after opening the folder and seeing the photos on the first page, Long Chengxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sometimes, he didn't like his intuition very much, because he had all thought of it out by himself, so there was no fun.
Of course, he didn't plan to tell the other party directly the result. After all, he wanted to sell the other party a favor, so he had to work hard for a few days, which showed that he had spent more effort, right? If he didn't take the opportunity to make a profit in such a cheap matter, it would be useless to train the Dragon family for so many years.
After quickly browsing the information, Long Chengxuan closed the information: "I understand this. I'll give you an answer before the New Year."
After getting the answer he wanted, Hobbs was also very happy: "I will leave City C tonight and take my female companion away. Don't worry, I won't let her harass you again."
Speaking of this, Long Chengxuan was also a little unhappy: "I hope so."
After seeing his attitude, Hobbes couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He shouldn't use this matter to control the other party. What if he makes him unhappy and doesn't do it carefully: "Mr. Long, I'm very sorry about this matter. I really don't know that she has ideas about you two. When she met me, it just means that she can introduce you to me. If I knew that she would make you unhappy, I would come to visit myself."
Is this really the case? Long Chengxuan smiled faintly and did not pursue it anymore. After all, he had agreed to cooperate with the other party, so there was no need to explain some things too clearly.
What? Hobbs said that he did not say the terms he wanted to give? People with their identities would understand what they would owe to the other party if they asked others to do so. Once they did not do it, they would be the ones who would lose face, not the other party.
Long Chengxuan also knew this, so he didn't mention it at all about asking for remuneration. It was his attitude that made Hobbes more satisfied. Only real nobles would not talk about the interests so easily. He would not have to worry about his own affairs being known to others when making a deal with such a person.
At this time, Su Hua came over: "Sir, Madam, lunch is ready."
In the restaurant, after the group had a delicate and delicious lunch, Long Chengxuan sent Hobbs away.
When they left, Long Chengxuan hugged his wife: "Xiao Mo, Qiu Jin has been having a bad life these years. Have she not contacted you back then?"
Zhang Xiaomo shook his head: "We had contacts in the first few years, but then the contact was suddenly broken. I couldn't find her again if I wanted to find her. She never called again. Although I went to City F, after I came back, I also asked my parents. They told me that Xiaojin had never called. If it weren't for Su Hua, I wouldn't know if I could find her." Speaking of this, her eyes at Su Hua were full of gratitude. Su Hua nodded and smiled at her, indicating that she would not care.
