The Black Card - Chapter 911

[Chapter 909]

During afternoon tea time, Jenny’s grandfather was still resting. It was already rare for an old man in his eighties to still be able to move around in the fields. No matter how noble his status was, his body and age had long refused to let others go.

Jenny’s father was also busy with official duties in the government, so he might not have much to do, but it was not yet time for him to get off work.

Therefore, the afternoon was actually a gathering of several young people, and several young people came over from Jenny’s house. Naturally, they introduced them one by one. Jenny was basically a mixed bag, but she did not show any pretense towards Li Qianhaocheng.

Li Qianhaocheng was left out in the cold, and if he had been replaced by someone else, he would have been sitting on the sidelines unhappy and no longer gathering in there.

However, Li Qianhaocheng is obviously not that kind of person. Even if no one pays attention to him, he still mixes among the crowd with great interest, and makes affectionate confessions to Jenny from time to time, which really makes everyone’s chat more interesting. Not going down.

Shi Lei actually didn’t have much to say. After all, they were brothers and sisters. Xiaodie was obviously very familiar with this family. They had common topics. Zhao Di also had to accompany his girlfriend, Shi Lei. Gradually, he walked aside and scrolled through his phone boredly.

Xiaodie noticed Shi Lei’s embarrassment and pulled Zhao Di to Shi Lei’s side.

“Master Shi, why are you sitting here alone?”

Shi Lei raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, “You guys are all talking about European customs, and I don’t know much about them. It’s good to sit alone for a while.”

Over there, Jenny saw Shi Lei and the other three sitting aside. She also wanted to come over, but Li Qianhaocheng held her back.

“Jenny, why are you always so cold to me? You should know that my mother is also a devout Christian, but I didn’t accompany her on days like Christmas. I flew here specially from home today. You see, yesterday I didn’t even attend the class reunion…”

Jenny looked at him helplessly, probably feeling that this was not the way to treat guests, so she had to sit down again, but her eyes kept looking at Shi Lei.

At this time, a man in his thirties from the Scola family said: “Qian, it’s not just Jenny who is cold to you, all of us are also cold to you. If it hadn’t been for too late, we would have even wanted to persuade you. It’s better to go back to China and spend the holidays with Ms. Qian. It’s really not good for you, as her son and only son, not to accompany her on such a grand festival…”

Li Qianhaocheng was polite to Jenny and treated others People are not so polite.

He glared and said, “Philip, it seems that your loss last time was not bad enough. How much are you going to lose to me today?”

Philip’s expression changed and he stopped saying anything. It seems that he did lose a lot last time.

“Are you being cold to me? Do you think I care? All I need is Jenny’s favor.”

Everyone looked sideways and couldn’t listen anymore. Even if Westerners don’t mind talking about their emotions, this Li Qianhaocheng is really a bit too much.

When Shi Lei saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face again.

Xiaodie noticed this and said with a smile: “His name is Li Qian Haocheng. His father’s surname is Li and his mother’s surname is Qian. That’s why we gave him this name. His grandfather was a diplomat and was stationed in the UK before. It is said that his grandfather played a lot of role in the return of Hong Kong Island. But even so, his grandfather still maintained a very good relationship with the royal family, and he also had a good personal relationship with Jenny’s grandfather. His mother and Jenny’s mother We grew up together, oh, by the way, Jenny’s mother is also a member of the royal family. When they were young, they often messed around in the palace…”

Shi Lei understood, nodded, and said with a smile: “This is the true love of the whole family. Yes. Just now he asked me to call him Mr. Qian at the door, probably because his mother’s family is relatively strong, right?” “

That’s not true. In fact, his mother respects his father very much. Even his mother’s family thinks that his mother can marry him. For his father, that’s a high achievement. His father’s family is a real intellectual, a scholarly family. In the Qing Dynasty, the Li family’s highest level was Zhongtang…”

Shi Lei was stunned and immediately said: ” Li Hongzhang?”

Xiaodie shook her head and said: “The outside world has such a legend, but it is not true. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, their family had few high-ranking positions. However, even Li Hongzhang wanted to show goodwill to their family and even voted for his disciples. Post. It’s pretty much the same. In short, it’s a real scholarly family. During the period of writing on the bus, their Li family was absolutely clean.”

Shi Lei didn’t know much about these things, he just heard some things. To sum up, basically In one sentence, the Li family is an aristocratic family with a very deep foundation.

“A child from an aristocratic family, no wonder he is deviant in his swordsmanship.”

Xiaodie laughed loudly and said, “Young master Shi, you are so polite, you only used the word “sword sect deviant”. His grandfather’s evaluation of him was that he was deviant and deviant. words.”

“So, he doesn’t like reading?”

“Not only does he not like reading, he simply doesn’t read at all. But after all, he comes from a scholarly family. No matter how much he doesn’t like reading, he is still a top student. When he graduated from junior high school , because his mother was also sent to the British embassy, and his father was a relatively old-fashioned university professor, so he was brought to London. Education in the UK is different from that in China. Usually, after international students come, they have to study for one year. IGCSE, and then two years of A-level. But after he entered the school, he casually flipped through the book, and then went home and told his mother that this crappy book was unreadable. His mother asked him why, and he said it was so simple. It was outrageous. So his mother arranged an exam for him, and he got full marks. After he was transferred to the A-level class, he was annoyed again within two days. She said it was too easy, because he just happened to catch up with the exam in October that year, and he directly He took the AS exam and passed it with full marks. So he saved two years. Of course, the Scola family also helped, and he entered the A2 school year directly. It is said that he still had to hang out for a year. Then he was admitted to the same school as us. Strictly speaking, he was not our classmate. He was in the same school and in the same grade. He studied economics. Therefore, he was two years younger than Jenny and I, but he graduated from college in the same year as us. .”

Shi Lei smiled and shook his head. The world of the Xin Dao Scholar is really difficult to understand. Although it is not as good as Yao Er, it is not far behind.

“His father is a university professor and spends most of his time in academic research. He has very little education and care for him. He almost grew up with his mother’s side since he was a child. He was too pampered, so he was raised He has become such a character. However, he is actually a good person, but he is so exaggerated that it is unbearable. Jenny and I don’t really hate him, but we just can’t communicate with him normally. His deviance lies in the fact that he is both He doesn’t want to inherit the Li family’s scholarly legacy, and he doesn’t want to continue pursuing diplomacy along the same path as his mother’s family. He thinks about starting a business all day long and becoming the richest man in the world…”

Shi Lei laughed and asked, “Then he graduates. In the past few years, have you achieved anything?”

“I have a foreign trade company, which is doing pretty well, and my net worth should be over 100 million. I am planning to go public this year. But this year is almost over, and his plan to go public is… I think he will get it next year. He is exaggerated, and his ability is quite strong. His parents’ genes are so good that it is not easy to inherit an idiot.”
