When Modesty said this, her tone was firm and her face was firm. The hatred towards her second uncle must have been deep in her bones for a long time.
Xiao Yunlong didn't want to get involved in the overt and covert struggles of these top families, but he and Modesti had already reached a cooperation agreement last time. In the last New York incident, if Modesti hadn't helped Xiao Yunlong,
Nor could he successfully complete the mission and rescue Luo Ningxue.
Therefore, he owed Modesty a favor, which was to get rid of her second uncle, Charles Rockefeller, on her behalf.
To be honest, he doesn't care about Modesty's grievances with her mother and Charles, because they have nothing to do with him. He only appears here because of this cooperation deal between him and Modesty.
Xiao Yunlong looked at Modesty and said, "I don't think you want me to do it tonight?"
Modesty was startled, she glared at Xiao Yunlong angrily, and said: "I'm not crazy yet. How can you take action in a situation like this tonight? Besides, this is in the family, so naturally you can't take action. Today
I want you to come over tonight. The first thing is to get to know Charles in person, and the second thing is to talk to you in detail about the next actions."
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about how to act. This is crucial."
Modesty nodded. Just as she was about to say something, her cell phone suddenly rang. She looked at the caller ID on her phone and said, "Wait a minute, my mother is calling me."
Modesty walked aside and answered the phone and said, "Mom, are you looking for me?"
While Modesty was answering the phone, Xiao Yunlong waited silently.
He could imagine that in such a big family, Modesty lost the protection of her father, and only she and her mother depended on each other. It was indeed difficult for two women to live and grow up in such a big family background.
It seems very difficult. Therefore, you only need to imagine a little to know what their situation is.
However, judging from various signs, Modesty is beautiful and noble, but she is by no means a flower vase. She also has outstanding management talents. She manages a small part of the family industry and does a great job. Because of this, in
On the surface, the rest of the Rockefeller family naturally looked at Modesty differently.
If Modesty had only beauty but no talent, then her life with her mother would be truly difficult.
"Mom, I know, I'm going to find you now."
At this time, Modesty said on the phone.
Modesty put down her phone, looked at Xiao Yunlong, and said, "Demon King, my mother is not feeling well and her headache has returned. I'm going to take a look."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here." Xiao Yunlong said.
Modesty thought for a moment and said, "Demon King, you'd better come with me. To be honest, it's not really appropriate for you to stay here."
Xiao Yunlong's face was startled after hearing this, and he said: "If I go, I'm afraid it will be even more inappropriate, right? It's so late at night to rashly go to see your mother."
"It's okay. Very few people go to where my mother lives. Come with me. I'll talk to you about the situation in detail at the place where my mother and I live," Modesty said.
"All right."
Xiao Yunlong nodded.
Modesty and Xiao Yunlong walked out. Modesty was very familiar with this place. She took Xiao Yunlong around the banquet hall, went directly downstairs, and then walked out through a side door. Although there were guards at the side door,
After all, Modesty was the eldest daughter of the Rockefeller family. When the guards saw her walking out with Xiao Yunlong, they naturally didn't ask anything.
After leaving the banquet building, Modesty took Xiao Yunlong into a Rolls-Royce, driven by Modesty, and drove towards the right side of the castle.
As Modesti drove, Xiao Yunlong truly realized that the area of the castle was beyond his imagination. The castle in front of the Rockefeller family castle was the main building, and there was a living courtyard behind it.
etc.
Because the entire castle is so large, you need to take a car to get anywhere.
Modesty drove all the way, and after driving for a few minutes, she turned to the right. There was a courtyard located there. The area of the courtyard was already quite large, and it was equivalent to a single-family villa outside.
The Rolls-Royce sedan driven by Modesty slowly stopped in front of the courtyard, and she got out of the car.
Xiao Yunlong also got out of the car. Modesty opened the door in front of the courtyard and led Xiao Yunlong inside.
The entire courtyard looks antique, giving people a sense of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. There are many green plants planted in front of the courtyard, filled with potted plants, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air.
In front of it is a three-story foreign-style building, with warm lights on inside.
Modesty walked over, pushed open the door and shouted: "Mom"
Xiao Yunlong did not follow him in, he stood outside. Modesty's mother must be a woman of great character and self-cultivation if she can marry into the Rockefeller family. It would be somewhat rude to appear rashly so late at night.
"Modesti, you are back."
In the hall, a gentle and soft voice came, which was very pleasant and seemed very warm.
A smile appeared on Modesty's face. She walked into the hall and was greeted by a graceful lady in front of her. She looked extremely tall and wore a plain-colored dress that was very meaningful.
The long skirt and long hair are tied up, giving people a sense of grace and luxury.
She has a fair complexion, and she is at least nearly forty years old, but her skin is as white as ice, and she looks like a woman in her early thirties. She is also extremely beautiful, and her appearance is somewhat similar to Modesty.
, but compared to Modesty, she looks more mature, exuding a mature and intellectual charm.
Her eyelashes are very long, and her eyes are blue, as blue as the sea, without any color. There is a smile in her eyes, and she is looking at Modesty with pleasure. She is slightly plump, sexy and
A smile appeared on the corner of her pretty and red lips, and she said: "I know you are at the banquet, but you can come back later. I think the banquet will not end so soon, right?"
"Mom, you know that I'm just going to attend a banquet like that. I won't participate in the whole process, that would be boring. It would be better to come back and accompany my mother." Modesty smiled.
"You child." The lady smiled, her smile full of doting and loving kindness.
This noble lady is Modesty’s biological mother, named Winnie Lisa.
"By the way, Mom, I also brought a guest," Modesty said. She turned around and saw Xiao Yunlong, but she didn't see Xiao Yunlong. She let out a sigh and said, "Where is the Demon King? Demon King,
"Devil"
"Modesti, I'm outside!"
Xiao Yunlong's voice came from outside the door.
Modesty's face was startled. She walked out the door and took a look. Sure enough, she saw Xiao Yunlong standing outside and did not follow him in.
Modesty's face was startled, and she said: "Devil King, why are you standing outside? Come in instead."
Xiao Yunlong smiled and said: "Modesti, please tell your mother to avoid being too sudden and offending."
"You are worrying too much. Come in, I have already told my mother." Modesty said.
Xiao Yunlong nodded and then walked towards the hall.
Modesty's mother Winelissa heard that her daughter had brought a guest over, which made her look startled. She thought that one of Modesty's best friends was coming to attend the banquet, so she brought her back with her.
Already?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Modesti leading Xiao Yunlong in. It turned out to be a man!
This made Winnie Lisa look stunned. She really didn't expect that Modesty would come back with a man at night!
Could it be that this is Modesty's boyfriend?
But what surprised her was that she didn't hear Modesty mention that she already had a boyfriend.
At this time, Xiao Yunlong had already walked in, and Modesty immediately said: "Devil King, this is my mother."
Xiao Yunlong nodded, looked at Winnelisa, and said, "Hello, madam. I'm sorry to bother you so presumptuously."
Winnelisa smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome. Sir, are you Modesti's... friend?"
"Mom, he is my friend. His name is Xiao Yunlong, but I am used to calling him Demon King." Modesty said.
Winnelisa then said: "Mr. Xiao, please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
"No, I'm not thirsty. I just came from the banquet hall." Xiao Yunlong said.
"Modesti, take Mr. Xiao and sit on the sofa. I'll get you some tea and snacks." Winnelisa said, then turned and left.
Xiao Yunlong looked at Winnie Lisa's figure and found it hard to believe that this was Modesty's mother. She was really well-maintained, with a slim figure, smooth skin, white and delicate skin, and she did not look like a woman who had given birth to a child.
However, the rich and mature feminine charm on her body also represents her age. This mature feminine charm needs time to accumulate.
"Demon King, come and sit." Modesty said.
Xiao Yunlong nodded, followed Modesti towards the sofa, and sat down.
After a while, Winnelisa brought tea, a fruit plate and some snacks and placed them on the coffee table. She also sat down on the sofa next to Modesty.
"Mr. Xiao seems to be Asian?" Wennelisa asked, looking at Xiao Yunlong with her eyes.
Xiao Yunlong nodded and said, "I'm from China."
"China? It's a country with a long history, and I long for it." Winnie Lisa said.
Xiao Yunlong smiled and said: "Madam, if you are interested, you can go there for a trip when you have time."
"I will definitely go there in the future." Winnie Lisa also smiled.
At this time, Modesty held Winnelisa's hand and asked in a concerned tone: "Mom, didn't you say you have a headache again? How do you feel now?"
"It's an old problem. I took some medicine and I feel better now." Winnelisa said, and she continued, "You brought Mr. Xiao here because you have something to talk about, right? Then you stay with me first.
Let’s talk about it, Mr. Xiao, I’ll go upstairs to rest first.”
"Mom, then you go and rest. You originally wanted to rest more." Modesty said.
Wen Nelissa stood up, looked at Xiao Yunlong, and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry."
"You're welcome, Madam." Xiao Yunlong said.
Winnelisa said nothing more, turned around and walked upstairs.
Somehow, Xiao Yunlong could see that there seemed to be a kind of loneliness and worry hidden under Winnelisa's elegant and decent appearance.
Is it possible that this is caused by the years of oppression from Modesty’s second uncle?
