Chapter six hundred and thirty eight: Your guest is coming
Beside the bed, the elders of the Thistle family looked at Quentin on the bed with worry.
A thick layer of gauze was wrapped around the chest.
Quentin, whose body was covered with tubes, lay there breathless, and the knife was just a hair away from killing him.
If Marina, who was by his side at the time, hadn't desperately activated the formation on the Life Stone and offset most of the damage, I'm afraid he should be lying in a coffin now.
I thought that I had made all preparations for this appointment, and that there was a disaster spirit-level elder following me, so nothing could go wrong.
Who would have thought that someone would actually ask the Golden Swordsman to do it himself.
Fortunately, the opponent stopped attacking them after one blow, otherwise none of them would be able to survive on the spot.
Of course, this is not because the golden swordsman is soft-hearted, but because the person behind it only paid the price of one sword.
Everyone knows that the Golden Swordsman, just like the sword in his hand, only recognizes money and not people.
It was also because of this that Marina seized the opportunity and asked the Golden Swordsman to escort them away for three times the price of the sword.
Only then can you escape safely.
Thinking of Marina's decisiveness at that time, Quentin's pale mouth showed a weak smile while lying on the hospital bed.
Having such a wife is such a peace of mind.
"My child, if you really can't do it, just hand it over."
An elder finally couldn't help but said: "At worst, we can live our hard life. In the past, when life was tight, we still lived the same. Life is the capital of a person."
"We have made a lot of money in the past two years. If we old guys put their money together, we can get him several billion in cash and keep it for you. When things are stable in the future, we can make a comeback."
"Yeah, the kids blame us old guys for not having the skills, otherwise..."
After one of the elders finished speaking, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
The psychic pills that Quentin brought back were considered treasures. Both in terms of energy and purity, they far exceeded the psychic potions several times.
But they didn't live up to expectations.
Not everyone who eats the treasure will immediately be reborn and become a disaster in the world.
Several psychic pills, but in the end only obtained a breakthrough from the two elders, which was not enough to face the crisis at hand.
There are too many people attacking the Sisir family this time, and their power is so huge that they simply cannot resist it.
It's also because of the internal strife in their family that caused the family to sink for many years, so that they didn't have strong enough allies around them.
"Uncles, please don't be naive, they want more than just the property, they want our family's life."
At this time, Marina opened the door and walked in.
In the past few days, she seemed to have aged several years, and there were several more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
When several elders saw Marina walking in, they looked at each other. She was no longer an ordinary social butterfly.
But she is the real wife of the housekeeper.
She manages the family's large and small businesses and controls the financial lifeline. These two years of hard work have allowed her to truly establish a foothold in the family.
The elders didn't dare to be disrespectful to her, but things were different now, and there were some things they had to say even today.
An elder pinched his beard and said with an angry look on his face: "What they can ask for is family property. Since they are jackals, we will throw the meat out and let them grab it by themselves."
Seeing the excited look on the elderly elder's face, Marina felt uncomfortable, so she lowered her tone and said:
"If it were just these jackals, they might not have the courage to attack us. What they are afraid of are the tigers and leopards behind the jackals. What they want is not the property, but your daughters, the family's treasure house, and the names of us old guys.
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
How could they not know about the news about young girls being openly sold in the black market not long ago?
A girl with a soul-breaking level only costs 300,000 yuan.
A ferocious spirit-level woman only needs 400,000.
As for evil-level women, no matter how old or weak they are, as long as they can still give birth, they can be sold for millions to millions.
Totally a cheap sale.
Among them are many eldest ladies from small families, as well as ladies who were once the wives of the heads of families.
Such an end was deplorable, and I felt sorry for their experience, but no one was hesitant when bidding.
Marina looked around at the elders and said: "Our family has grown rapidly in the past two years. The secret behind it is what they want, so we can't give in. If we give in, it will be a bottomless abyss!"
"Secret, secret, we don't know what the secret is, just give it to them, okay?"
It is said that as people get older, they become more stubborn.
An elder covered his face and sat on the ground, yelling like a fool.
Marina ignored them. She had already explained what needed to be explained.
But just based on this, it is impossible to make these old guys give up their mentality of docking their tails to survive.
If they were really so courageous, how could the Sisir family have fallen from a first-rate family to even a third-rate family?
After having people send these elders away.
Marina sat on the edge of the bed and stroked Quentin's forehead: "Have a good rest. Bitser will have news soon."
Quentin opened his eyelids slightly, held Marina's hand in his rough palm, and quietly stuffed the life gem back: "Look, you have lost weight recently."
"You think I'm old?"
Marina put the life gem back in: "If you want to marry the younger one, you have to wait until you can stand up!"
Quentin smiled bitterly and silently held Marina's little hand. Although he was lying on the hospital bed, he still tried hard to twist his lower back.
Looking at the slightly erected small tent, he couldn't help but smile evilly: "Okay, okay, let's do a little story about the night duty ward..."
"screw you."
While the two were flirting and joking, neither of them selectively mentioned the outside affairs.
Bitser said that he would give the news soon, but now there is no response at all, and they have already prepared for the worst.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door from Quentin's second brother, and the second brother's big and honest face came in: "Brother, sister-in-law, there is a group of people outside the door. It seems that the visitor is unkind and wants me to give this to you."
Take a look."
Marina took it and saw that it was a button, but when she saw the unique golden cicada on the button, a hint of ecstasy suddenly appeared in her eyes.
After taking a look at Quentin, the two people's faces suddenly showed a look of joy. Sure enough, that adult would never sit idly by and watch.
"Hurry up and invite them in. No, I'll go there myself."
Marina didn't care about flirting with Quentin at the moment. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and ran, taking out the cosmetics and dressing mirror from her bag and touching up her makeup as she ran.
As a sociable woman, I know very well that even in the most urgent times, the most basic appearance is absolutely indispensable, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the guests.
When she ran to the door, her steps slowed down, and even her breathing slowed down in a few steps. With a sincere smile on her face, she quickly walked out of the door with a close friend.
Ding Xiaoyi and others were invited outside the compound early.
Looking at the beautiful manor in front of him, Pangpang was particularly satisfied: "It's not bad, the Western European style is open and bright, but I prefer the style of the micro-style courtyard."
Compared with Pangpang, Shuanger actually likes the style in front of him.
"Micro-style gardens have been one of the best in classical elegance since ancient times, with fine craftsmanship showing in every detail, and the emphasis is on the meticulousness of each scene, step by step.
As the saying goes, the courtyard is a little deeper, the willows are piled with smoke, and there is no heavy curtain outside the curtain.
Although the style here is simple, it is surrounded by mountains on the left, forests on the right, close to the water, and clouds in the distance. It is large but not bulky. Near the water, the pine forest is covered with greenery, and the cup is surrounded by water and the moon."
"Okay, okay, the cup is shining in the sky, you girl really knows how to talk."
Pangpang was very excited and felt much better. He turned back to Ding Xiaoyi and said, "Xiaoyi, what do you think?"
"Ugh...fuck, what are you asking me for?"
Ding Xiaoyi's face turned red. He couldn't understand what he said about the cup of honor and the empty curtain outside the curtain.
After holding it in for a while, he blushed and said, "Me too."
This is the difference between being literate and being uneducated.
For the same thing, others can just quote scriptures and come up with it casually. I wanted to recite poems and give them to the world, but I have no culture and I can just say shit to the world.
While the three of them were chatting, Ding Xiaoyi inadvertently glanced at several inconspicuous woods outside the garden.
It seems that there are not so many people staring at Quentin.
Just as the three of them were talking, I noticed that at least three waves of people were standing in the distance with cameras, observing them.
It is estimated that at this time, the photos of the three of them have been transferred to other people's desks.
However, even though I did not bring [Thousand Faceless] with me, but surrounded by weak spiritual energy, I am afraid that what the cameras on their hands captured would only be a pair of mosaics.
At this time, Marina had already hurried over with people.
When this grandmother-like old girl walked towards them, her eyes had already glanced at the three of them.
She had no impression of the three people in front of her.
The young man standing in front had an average appearance, but no matter how carefully she looked, she could see clearly at first glance, but not so clearly at second glance. After seeing him, she couldn't remember his face at all.
There is a sense of mystery inside and out.
Marina was surprised and delighted for a moment, it was obvious that this was a mysterious master.
As for the little fat man dressed in white next to him, he is more ordinary. His chubby little face gives people a harmless feeling.
It's just that the big bumps on the head are a little bit prominent. Could this be the legendary innate abnormality of the head and horns?
It wasn't until Marina looked at Shuang'er that she couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in her eyes.
Although Shuang'er is dressed in ordinary clothes, as a saint, even if she deliberately hides it, she still stands out from the crowd.
As she stood there, the sun shone down, and the vibrant youthful atmosphere emanated from the inside out.
It is as dazzling as the morning star in the sky.
After Marina's eyes quickly scanned the three of them, she immediately stepped forward to meet them, crossed her hands on her chest, and said respectfully to Ding Xiaoyi: "Cicadas are everywhere."
Under her humble posture, there was unconcealable joy. She knew that when the three people appeared, the plight of the Sissel family would no longer be a dilemma.
Don’t you want the secret of our family’s rapid rise?
Come on, next time, even if it’s given to you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford it.
