Mai Fan is also used to coaxing his mother: "Mom, I know you like Siwen's croissants the most. Why bother buying it for my kindest and most beautiful mother?"
"No, Mom Qin, find a plate and put the croissants on it. While they are hot and crispy, let my father eat two more."
After saying this, Chu Shaoxue smiled happily, took a fork and scooped out a flat plate of vegetable and fruit salad for Mai Fan.
Mai Fan looked at it just to relieve his boredom, and while smiling and thanking him, he looked at the villain's mother with the tips of his eyes.
It's no wonder that Mai Wencai is so afraid of his wife. In fact, it is his wife who scorns Mai Wencai in terms of appearance and demeanor.
Chu Shaoxue was sitting at the white dining table, holding a silver knife and fork in her hand, wearing the most popular French dress, like a noble lady who had studied abroad.
Just by looking at it, no one would have thought that there was a seven-inch golden lotus wrapped under her skirt.
This girl, who was born among the Qilu gentry, was among the families of celebrities at sea, and she was no less outstanding among the fashionable ladies.
She obviously received the most traditional scholarly education, but in the shortest time... she adapted and integrated into this big city that was completely different from Ludong.
She started from scratch in foreign language and explored the piano from scratch. In just two or three years, her skill was already as good as the guqin she had played since she was a child and the poems and books she had read since she was a child.
The love between Mai Fan's parents is as legendary as the woman in front of him.
Mai Wen was the son-in-law appointed by the Chu family's most favored daughter. His identity was just that of the shopkeeper of a humble pastry shop in the Chu family.
The young shopkeeper has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is honest and honest, but he is an orphan with little wealth, no father and no mother.
Mai Fan had no idea how his mother persuaded his majestic grandfather, nor did he know how his mother, who stayed close to home, found out about his naive father.
But now, he is almost eighteen, and his parents' relationship is still as affectionate as when he was a child...
Mai Fan knew that his mother had never regretted her choice.
While he was thinking about it, Mai Fan's father secretly finished his pancakes and came to the dining room wiping his grease.
Regarding his small actions that he thought others were unaware of... Chu Shaoxue lowered her eyelids and pretended not to see it.
Mai Wencai, who thought he was not exposed, started educating his son as soon as he sat down: "I haven't finished what I just said."
"Your mother is here now. Does she know where you have been since you didn't come home all night?"
After saying that, Mai Wencai turned to Chu Shaoxue as if he was looking for support from his wife.
Chu Shaoxue stopped eating, her face full of worry: "I am on your father's side in this matter."
"Son, you should change your habit of staying out at night."
"In a few months, you will be eighteen years old. In ancient times, a crowning ceremony was required at the age of twenty, and by then it would mean that you would be able to start a family and start a career."
"Don't be too nostalgic for the place of fireworks like Qing Qianzhai."
"If I hadn't sent someone to find out where you were going, I ordered a clean girl."
"I'm afraid that the next day there will be news in the newspapers that Mr. Mai, a grain merchant from Eastern Lu, was escorted home by servants for being a prostitute."
"Xiao Fan, in fact, mothers also understand that you are getting older. If you had been in the past, you would have been ready to have sex with the maid at the age of sixteen."
"I originally thought that you and your father were the same."
"Find a close person who knows both cold and hot to accompany you throughout your life."
"But as time goes by, I see that your temperament and temperament have followed your grandfather's style."
"It's okay to be romantic, but I still don't understand. I have clearly hinted to you that my family has chosen two girls with innocent wealth and gentle personalities to warm your bed."
"Why are you still hanging around that nondescript Hua Yingying?"
Hearing this, Mai Fan glanced behind him.
The two little maids standing behind his mother turned their heads towards him.
Mai Fan looked at each other and immediately looked away from the two girls.
Forgive him that in the first two worlds... his vision was a little high.
At first glance, these two girls were given to them by their grandmother from the old house.
These two girls...let's not talk about the faces for now, just the figures...
Each one is an old gourd with seeds hanging on the vine, with a thick waist and wide hips... Only one is left that is easy to raise.
Mai Fan's eyelids trembled when he saw it, and he quickly rejected his mother's kindness: "No, mother, do you also love me?"
"If you want me to find a girl from a rich family, then you can't give me a room together."
"Whose decent lady takes in the girl before she even enters the door? Isn't this a response to someone else's fault?"
"Don't you and dad also hope that I can find a good wife to put my mind at ease?"
"If you give these two girls to me, you will really ruin your dream."
Also, Mai Fan's parents rejected Mai Fan when they saw him. They sighed and didn't mention it.
At this time, Mai Fan can talk to his family about the topic.
"Father, mother, if you really want me to calm down, you have to find something serious for me to do."
"Dad, why don't you take me around to see the world and show me what the truly meaningful things are?"
"I have something to do, so I won't be tired of women."
That makes sense.
Mai Wencai and Chu Shaoxue looked at each other, with a bit of joy on their faces: "Son, if you have such thoughts, it means you have grown up!" "Then where do you want to go and see?" Do you want to know? Should you follow your father and I to visit the Qilu Chamber of Commerce, or should we go to the grain shipping terminal on the edge of the big world? "
"How about checking out the northern specialty shop next to the Department Store of France? That's the place for you! Go bring some wheat flour for pastry to your female classmates, or pick up a few kilograms of fresh apples shipped from Jiaodong for your teacher."
"By the way, you can take a look at how the grocery store operates. It will also lay the foundation for you to take over the Mai family's business in the future."
Mai Fan is not interested in what Mai Wen just mentioned. In this troubled world, what's wrong with being a dandy who only enjoys himself or being a very rich dandy?
He shook his head and went straight to the point: "Dad, can't we start from our recent experience?"
"I heard from my classmates that there will be a grand dinner at the Sea Club tonight."
"Celebrities from all walks of life in the city will be invited to participate."
"Dad, our family is also invited, right? Please take me there so that I can learn more about it."
Come on, what do you mean by wanting to learn well? This is just wanting to have fun.
Mai Wencai's hope rose and fell again, and the huge gap made the nameless fire in his heart... rise up.
"What do you mean by being knowledgeable? You're not a good learner... If I don't beat you to death, where is my civilized stick? How about a stick as big as mine?"
The old housekeeper standing behind Mai Wencai quickly picked up the civilized stick placed on the table and handed it to Mai Wencai's hand.
Mai Fan took a look and said, "Isn't that right? Grandpa Butler, I haven't offended you on weekdays."
At this time, there was only one person left who could protect him. Mai Fan shrank his neck and pretended to be pitiful, shouting: "Mom! Mommy! Mother! Help!"
After shouting, he hid behind Chu Shaoxue. He didn't care how the 1.8 meter tall man shrank, he wanted to seek protection first.
After all, she is Mai Fan's mother, so she is calm.
Chu Shaoxue stood up from her chair, glared at Mai Wencai, and stopped the fierce man's movements.
"No matter how angry you are with your child, it's better to lead him to gain knowledge than to have no one guide him to gain knowledge."
"It's time to take Mai Fan to recognize people. So that he can know how many famous people there are on the sea."
"Let him know how many people he can't afford to offend?"
"Don't let him see what our family is doing outside, and he will always be a domestic bird living under your wings."
"While he still knows how to be in awe and the two of us can still manage it, let's go see the real reality..."
"It's better than a child messing with someone he shouldn't mess with because he doesn't know the importance of it, and bringing down the entire family."
"By the way, Xiaofan can also go and see what kind of women the big shots outside have with them. Once he sees more, he will understand what kind of good women are."
"That honey trap in the shopping mall will be of no use to our son in the future."
that is!
Mai Fan, who was hiding behind Chu Shaoxue, nodded desperately.
Mai Wencai sighed repeatedly after seeing this. But in the end, he was defeated by listening to his wife's words. Mai Wencai put down the crutch in his hand and agreed to Mai Fan's proposal.
Even if this matter is done by Mai Fan.
…
In the evening, when Mai Fan was preparing for tonight's party in his room, the maid next to his mother knocked on his door: "Master, you have two groups of guests coming to your door. Now they are waiting in the hall downstairs."
and you."
who is it?
Mai Fan, who was putting on his dress, stopped.
He carried his suit jacket, buttoned up his vest, hung up a pocket watch, and went downstairs.
When he came downstairs, Mai Fan found that his mother was also there.
Chu Shaoxue was sitting at the main seat in the living room, and there were two different groups of guests sitting on the sofas on the left and right sides.
Sitting on the right side of Chu Shaoxue is... Hua Yingying, wearing a royal blue sleeveless cheongsam.
This girl was well dressed. She was wearing a pair of snow-white half-heeled shoes, and the same white lace scarf hung on her shoulders.
A little girl brought out by Qing Qianzhai stood behind Hua Yingying, staring at the group of guests sitting opposite them with vicious eyes.
Mai Fan looked to the sofa on the left and found that the other group of people were Du Ruosong, Lan Mengyao, and Wang Wei from Fenqing Society.
The three of them came unexpectedly.
This combination made Mai Fan a little strange. He walked to the opposite side of his mother, leaned back on the sofa, and spoke to Hua Yingying first: "Didn't I say that I would send someone to pick you up later? Let's meet at the door of the dinner party?"
"
"Why did you come directly to the door?"
"Also," Mai Fan said to the three people on the left: "You three are coming over at this time, but what's the important matter?"
Before either group of people could say this, Mai Fan's mother answered first: "I sent someone to pick up Ms. Hua Yingying. As for your three classmates... we met in front of the door.
It seems they have something urgent to do with you, so I will take Hua Yingying upstairs first and let you talk quietly to your classmates."
After saying that, Chu Shaoxue stood up and looked at Hua Yingying with a smile...
This little girl who was full of momentum just now... looked at Mai Fan's mother like a rubber ball that had let out its anger, and suddenly softened.
Hua Yingying was like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law. Under the hint of Chu Shaoxue's eyes... she carefully picked up her little Kun bag and followed Chu Shaoxue to the direction of the reception room on the second floor.
This place was given to Mai Fan and his classmates.
Now that everyone has left, we can talk about things.
"What's going on? Why are you here? Did the plan change? Was it canceled at short notice?"
As soon as these people left, Mai Fan approached him with an urgent tone, lest others didn't know... On the eve of the implementation of the mission, he was a little panicked.
Mai Fan's performance made Du Ruosong and Lan Mengyao very satisfied.
They looked at each other and quickly calmed down Mai Fan: "No, the plan has not changed. We are just coming here in advance to meet you once and walk through the route."
"Also, the things Wang Wei prepared for you have been placed in the car. Mai Fan, don't worry, we are right behind you. We are your strongest backing."
Ha, if you are really worried about me...
Mai Fan took out the gun from his arms again and made a good suggestion: "Ah, do you want to fight alongside me? That would be great, why not let Lan Mengyao pretend to be my dance partner?
, come with me to implement the plan?"
"She is a woman, so it is easier for her to get closer to the target than me. I thought about this assassination plan all night yesterday.
I think what you lack is someone to bring you into the scene."
"Look, I can take Lan Mengyao in and let her do the assassination. Isn't that the same thing? Are you right? Classmate Mengyao?"
On the eve of the dance, Mai Fan suddenly proposed another plan...
He immediately made the three people opposite him look stupid.
They watched the smile on Mai Fan's face getting bigger and bigger...
Sitting on the sofa, Lan Mengyao's eyes turned red.
‘Hey~?’
Mai Fan said in his heart: Oops
The next second, Lan Mengyao covered her face and started crying: "I don't dare, I'm afraid, wuwuwu, I'm really useless..."
No need to think about it, the maintenance people will come next.
Du Ruosong and Wang Wei, who were sitting on either side of Lan Mengyao, immediately glared at Mai Fan: "Mai Fan! You are no longer a man! You want a weak girl to carry out such a dangerous plan!"
"Didn't you promise everyone before that you would sacrifice your life and blood for revolutionism, eradicate this biggest traitor for the people on the sea, and warn those traitors and let them know that justice will always be guarded?"
"You are so lucky now that you actually want a female classmate to charge forward!? Mai Fan, are you scared? Are you planning to run away?!"
