After three days of vacation, Feilin left the deputy bureau's office, got on the carriage arranged for him by the Security Bureau, and returned to his residence.
Halfway through the journey, he couldn't help but change his mind.
"Detour to Guiniao Street."
Guiniao Street is the street where his sister Luo Lin lives. Taking advantage of his break, he decided to visit his sister.
"Okay, sir."
Coachman Ken Darby turned the carriage and headed towards Guiniao Street.
On the way, he stopped at a high-end pastry shop called "Happy House" and purchased some exquisite pastries. Felin appeared outside his sister Rowling's residence and rang the doorbell.
"Madam, little Cassa, Mr. Flynn is here."
After seeing that the person coming was Felin, the maid opened the door for Felin and shouted loudly.
After a while, a young woman wearing a long house dress and a little girl about four years old who looked like a doll appeared. It was her sister Luo Lin and her niece Kasha.
As for my brother-in-law, he should still be at work at this time.
"How did you come?"
Seeing Felin arriving, Luo Lin had a smile on her face.
"I have a day off today, so I came here to have some lunch."
Felin said with a smile.
At this moment, he found that his pants had been ripped off.
Looking down, he saw little Kasha calling him "uncle", seeing the happy look on his face, and extending her hand to him, obviously wanting him to hug her.
"This is the pastry I bought at Happy House when I came here."
After handing the paper bag containing the pastries to his sister, Felin bent down and picked up little Kasha.
"Come on, why don't you buy something? And it's pastries from Happy House. The pastries there are too expensive."
After taking the paper bag, Luo Lin complained a little.
"It's okay, your brother and I can afford to treat you to Happy House's pastries every day with my current salary."
Felin said with a smile.
He knew that his sister and little Kasha both liked Xingfuwu's pastries, and Xingfuwu's pastries were indeed delicious, no less popular than some of the popular pastries in his previous life.
"This is not how you spend your money. When you get a wife in the future, why don't you use money?"
Rowling "teached".
After lunch, I played with little Kasha for a while, and Felin was probably ready to leave when his brother-in-law was about to come back.
Although the relationship with his brother-in-law has eased, he still felt uncomfortable in his presence, so he decided to leave before his brother-in-law came back.
"Let's go back now. Let's go back after dinner, right?"
Rowling persisted.
"No, I still lack some furniture at home. I'm going to buy some furniture on my way back. If it's too late, the furniture store will be closed."
Felin made an excuse. He did have the idea of adding some furniture. The house he lived in now was a bit big, and the furniture he moved there was not enough.
"Oh well."
Rowling had no choice but to give up trying to stay and sent Felin out of the hospital all the way.
"Felin, you're here, are you ready to leave?"
At this moment, a carriage stopped, and from the carriage, brother-in-law Claude Dray stepped out.
When I saw Felin, his face was full of enthusiasm, unlike his previous indifference.
Feiling now not only works at Daweider Auction House, but also has a salary much higher than him. He wants to repair the estranged relationship between them.
"Well, I came here this morning and am going back."
Felin nodded and prepared to board the carriage.
"No, Felin, don't leave yet. There is a very rare banquet tonight. You can attend this banquet with us later."
Claude stopped Felin enthusiastically.
"Isn't this appropriate?"
Felin didn't want to accompany Claude to any banquet, so he excused himself because it was inappropriate.
"This banquet is a party for friends. It is allowed to bring people with you. It is better to say that you are encouraged to bring people with you."
"Moreover, this party will be attended by many young women from well-known families. It will be an opportunity for you to make friends with outstanding members of the opposite sex."
Claude blinked and said.
"No, I have something else to do later -"
Felin refused. If he were still an appraiser, he wouldn't mind expanding his business. As for now, there is no need for this.
However, before he could finish speaking, someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Put other things aside for me. You must go to this banquet with us tonight."
Rowling reached out and grabbed Felin's shoulder, saying with a tough attitude that left no room for negotiation.
If it were an ordinary banquet, that would be fine. This time the banquet is a social party, and there will be many young women from well-known families attending, so you can't miss it.
She was still worried about Felin's marriage problem before, so she could use this banquet to find a suitable marriage partner for Felin.
Facing his tough sister Luo Lin, Felin could not refuse, but he still went back and changed into a long black dress.
…
Freeman Villa is located in the East End of Constant City where aristocrats and wealthy people gather. Even among the many villas in the East End, its level of luxury is enough to rank first.
The owner of the villa, Wilton Freeman, is not only the mayor of Constantinople City, but also a distinguished earl who is popular in the Kingdom.
In the evening, private carriages drove into the Freeman Villa one after another. They were beautifully designed and came in various styles, just like a large carriage exhibition.
From what could only be regarded as an ordinary carriage among the many carriages, Felin, Rowling, and Claude, all dressed in formal attire, stepped down and entered the banquet hall.
The huge banquet hall was paved with red carpets and was very warm inside because of the underground heating.
There is a long dining table at regular intervals, and a variety of exquisite food and red wine are placed on the long dining table.
Many people in costumes shuttled among them, old friends reminisced, and strangers made friends with each other.
Among them, there were many young women. As Claude said, many young women from well-born families attended this banquet.
"Dear, I'm going to start investigating, so I won't accompany you to say hello to your friends."
Arriving here, Rowling's eyes lit up, she left Claude behind, mingled with the wives' group and began to inquire about the young women's information.
Felin went to the dining table, took some food on a plate, and ate on his own.
Because I came to attend a banquet, I haven't had time to have dinner yet.
However, his leisurely time did not last long. Luo Lin, who had already collected information, appeared and began to introduce him to the noteworthy young women at the banquet.
"The one wearing the ruffled dress is Sharon Murphy. She is the third daughter of the Baron Murphy family. She has a good family background, but her appearance is a bit average..."
"The one in the white dress is called Vereesa Notai. Her father is a manager at Fengsen Company. She looks pretty, but unfortunately her family background is a bit different..."
"The one wearing the pink skirt is called Mina Suvari. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Her family is in the tea business. Regardless of her family background or appearance, she is a top choice and can be targeted..."
…
Next to Felin, Rowling was talking nonchalantly.
Feilin really admired her intelligence-gathering ability. In such a short time, she had already obtained so much information.
Suddenly, Felin noticed a figure.
This is a young woman with blue hair, wearing a well-made beige luxurious dress, with a beautiful face, but a cold face.
The reason why he noticed this figure was because it was someone he knew, it was Ivy whom he had just met this morning.
"Brother, this level is too high, you can't win it."
Noticing the lingering gaze of Feilin, Luo Lin looked over and couldn't help but shook her head and persuaded.
"Do you know her identity?"
Felin asked curiously.
From that ring, which is worth at least several thousand gold pounds, it's probably not easy to guess Ivy's identity.
"Ivy Freeman, the host of this banquet is the second daughter of Earl Wilton. Earl Wilton loves her very much."
"I heard that Earl Wilton held this banquet because she has been in a bad mood recently and wanted her to make some new friends."
After a pause, Luo Lin said seriously.
"Although I also want you to find a daughter of a nobleman as your marriage partner, even if you are a bride-in-law."
"But this level is too high. Not only is she extremely beautiful, but she is also the daughter of an earl. It is really beyond the reach of a family like ours."
"Don't worry, I don't have any ideas in that regard."
Looking at his nervous sister, Felin shook his head.
Although I had already guessed that Ivy was probably the daughter of a nobleman with a very high status, I never expected that she would be so high that she was the daughter of Earl Wilton, who was also known for being noble among the earls.
At the same time, a doubt arises. Logically speaking, given the other party's identity, there is no need to join the Kingdom Security Bureau. Why would the other party join the Kingdom Security Bureau?
"That's good, that's good."
Rowling breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that her brother would be hot-headed and pursue her desperately, which would only result in a broken head and bloody injuries, which would cause deep injuries.
Sudden.
I don't know if I felt the gaze, but Ivy's eyes suddenly looked here, and happened to meet Felin's eyes. Felin didn't have time to look back.
Felin was in a dilemma.
If he didn't meet Ivy's eyes, he could pretend not to see Ivy.
But now we have seen each other. As people who know each other, greeting each other is the most basic etiquette in this kind of banquet.
After hesitating for a moment, thinking of what he heard about Ivy this morning, he stepped out and walked towards Ivy.
"Hey...Felin, what are you doing?"
Just after she breathed a sigh of relief, Rowling couldn't help but get angry when she saw Felin's behavior. It didn't look like Felin had listened to her advice.
She stepped forward quickly and wanted to pull Felin back, but at this time, Felin had already reached Ivy, so she had to give up pulling Felin away and prepare to adapt to circumstances.
"Miss Ivy."
Felin said hello.
"Um."
Ivy's expression did not change, but she still responded to Felin's greeting just like she did this morning.
Noticing Rowling walking next to Felin, she asked politely.
"Who is this?"
"This is my sister Lorraine Dre."
Felin introduced.
It is traditional to change your surname after getting married, so my sister's surname is now Dre, which is the same as her brother-in-law's.
