That night, Wang Xu followed Master Mao to the appointed restaurant. They were on time, but Elstein arrived a little earlier than them.
This client changed his rugged nouveau riche look tonight, and instead sat down in a very decent evening suit. His eyes were hazy and his expression was cold, and he looked like a completely different person.
Both Mao Ye and Wang Xu sat down awkwardly, and started ordering without even saying hello to him. Elstein's anger was being pushed to the climax by these two guys...
After three rounds of drinking, the three people at the table had not exchanged a word with each other. Finally, Elstein couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Mr. Logan, I hope you can explain..."
Wang Xu didn't let him finish his words before interrupting: "I made those two miscellaneous fish faint."
Mr. Cat added: "I think you go to the post office every day not only to wait for my telegram, but those two people should give you some almost worthless information every day."
Elstein said: "No! I think the information they gave me is very valuable, at least enough to prove that you betrayed me in this matter!"
"Oh? Is it a betrayal that I invite her out for tea and chat every day? Don't you think this is part of my job?"
Elstein leaned forward a little and said with a sullen face: "Then, I would like to hear the details of your work."
Wang Xu stopped stuffing things into his mouth, raised his head and said, "Yes, I want to hear it too."
Mr. Cat picked up the red wine on the table and said slowly: "First of all, Irene...please forgive me for calling her so presumptuously, I hope you don't mind me calling your sister..."
"What!" Elstein's expression changed drastically. This time it was no disguise. He was really shocked. He took a sip of wine to calm down his shock: "How...how did you know..."
"Haha...Actually, Irene has known about this for a long time, even earlier than you. On the contrary, it took me a lot of effort to come to this conclusion."
Elstein said: "I still underestimate you..."
Mr. Cat sneered: "Hmph... I believe that people like you will definitely learn a lot from this incident. At least your overly aggressive self-confidence will become more restrained."
"Please continue talking..." He suppressed his anger and softened his attitude a lot.
"I think it started two years ago. At that time, you met your sister Irene at a concert. Of course, you didn't know her relationship with you at the time, so you started pursuing her.
But she has always known that there is a brother like you, so it is naturally impossible for her to give you any response. So, you think that you have not done enough, and you start to find someone to investigate her, her preferences, her origin,
Everything about her.
Originally you just hoped to fall in love with him, but you found out many shocking inside stories... When your father was still studying medicine in London, he fell in love with a female classmate and gave birth to an illegitimate daughter.
He was still too young at the time, and was still a descendant of a lonely royal grandson. He had no ability to support them. Therefore, he quickly left London and went to India, which was not a peaceful place.
Local doctors are more competitive and become rich faster.
He did work hard in India. Even in some of the most difficult years, he never stopped sending money to the mother and daughter. After five years of this, he had become a wealthy man.
When he was a decent person, a sudden piece of bad news reached his ears. His female classmate passed away.
Perhaps it was fate that a marriage was presented to your father at that time. After careful consideration, he married your mother. Due to your grandfather's death and your mother not liking India, she always wanted to return to India.
After coming to London, your father took care of all the affairs in India and returned to London with the family.
He and Irene have been in contact for many years. He funded Irene to receive a good education and enabled her to live a peaceful and prosperous life. It can be said that his love for you, my sister, will never be less than that of you.
.
But there is only one thing that he cannot give this daughter, and that is identity. If he recognizes her, he will undoubtedly be regarded as a heartless man who abandons his wife and daughter to find a new love, and Irene's situation will also appear...
Very embarrassing.
So...the next step is the key point, so there is what you want me to find, this envelope..." After Master Cat said this, he actually took out an envelope from his arms.
Elstein's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he reached out to take it, but Master Cat moved the envelope to the candle on the dining table and burned it.
"What are you doing?!" Elstein shouted sharply.
"In this envelope, there were originally a few letters exchanged between father and daughter, as well as a few photos, which are not too many. Of course, what you are interested in is just the birth certificate of Eileen Jones." Mr. Cat is profound and indifferent.
Geidi smiled and watched the black ashes fall into the ashtray: "Irene took out the photos and letters and took them away. They are a memory between their father and daughter, and the birth certificate is in my
Burning in hands."
Elstein looked at Mr. Cat suspiciously: "Even if you burned a piece of white paper, I can't verify it now..."
Mr. Cat said: "Mr. Elstein, please stop saying unnecessary words. I don't hate you, but if you doubt me again and again, you will undoubtedly make yourself look very stupid. I don't like being so stupid."
A salvageable person.”
Elstein was not angry after hearing this: "Actually, you should also understand that I have done so many things just to have peace of mind."
Mr. Cat replied: "You can rest assured. Irene left London this morning. I think she will never come back. As for where she went, I can't tell you. It's far away anyway."
Already...
You are not a bad person, and you don’t want to hurt your sister, so you just found someone to burglarize her house instead of robbing it directly. In fact, I can understand everything you did. In order to inherit this huge family business,
You have been preparing for more than 20 years, and no one else is willing to take the risk of losing it."
Elstein could only admit at this time: "Eileen Jones is just a name to me, a strange outsider, but I will not deny the existence of family ties and blood ties. I don't mind calling her sister,
Or get to know her, and I would be very happy to continue to let her live a prosperous life, but I absolutely cannot accept her becoming the master of this family business."
Mr. Cat continued to eat, and his tone became quite relaxed: "Your idea is right, but you despise your sister too much. I can guarantee that if it weren't for her kindness, with her ability, you would never be able to fight
If I can defeat her, as long as she is determined, even I may be defeated by her."
Elstein asked: "You mean...she has never thought about dividing her father's property."
Mr. Cat smiled and said: "I can only say that some people are born with different pursuits than others. I don't think you will understand this."
Elstein was silent for a long time: "Well, I think today, I solved a problem that has been bothering me. You did a great job, Mr. Logan, I sincerely thank you."
"You're welcome, just don't forget... the 'remuneration' we agreed upon."
Elstein also rarely showed a heartfelt smile without any malice: "Don't worry, of course I will fulfill my promise. Waiter, please open another bottle of Bordeaux wine for my friends."
The stone in his heart fell to the ground, as if he had changed again, back to the slightly bold upstart.
After a few glasses of wine, Elstein seemed to suddenly think of something again. He raised his head and said to Master Cat: "I still have a question I don't understand."
Mr. Cat said: "Please tell me."
"My sister has countless suitors, and all the men who have met her have fallen under her skirt, but I have never found out that she is particularly close to anyone, and you...Mr. Logan, from
Detective from the mysterious East, according to my information... you seem to have captured her heart, I really don't know how you did it?"
Wang Xu had eaten and drank enough at this moment, and he turned around, waiting for Master Mao to give an answer, but he just replied calmly: "I think you are drunk, Mr. Elstein, we
It’s time to go, let’s say goodbye.”
…………
The two of them left like this, leaving the client to pay for them.
On the carriage, Wang Xu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked: "I also want to know the answer to the last question. How did you fall in love with that 'unparalleled beauty'?"
Master Mao said in a slightly perfunctory tone: "I have said that I only have an admiring attitude towards Irene, and you should also know that if I want, I can become a man who pleases ladies at any time.
"
Wang Xu sneered twice: "I don't need the power of domination to know that you are talking nonsense..."
Mr. Cat himself also laughed. He knew that he could no longer hide his emotions with a cynical attitude. After a hundred years and crossing the boundaries between two continents, he finally tasted the feeling of lovelorn for the first time.
This experience also allowed him to come to a new philosophy of life - there are some women, you know that you will never be able to be with them, but you can't help but have feelings for them. When the inevitable sad ending comes, millions
Don't be sad, just shout four words loudly in your heart: I am the one who made the mistake!
