Yani quickly declined and said, "Miss Sophia, this gift is too expensive. Please take it back. Xiaoni is still a child."

With that said, he handed the necklace back to Sophia.

Sophia did not answer, but looked at Tingdong with burning eyes.

Tingdong smiled: "Miss Sophia, I would like to ask, apart from being a gift from your mother, does this necklace have any special meaning? For example, is it a token or something?"

Sophia shook her head and said, "No, this is my mother's relic. She passed away after giving birth to me. This is the souvenir she left for me. Although it is very precious, it is not a token."

Tingdong nodded solemnly and said: "Well, Sophia, from now on, it will be a token. If one day, my daughter asks you for help with this necklace, you will definitely not refuse, right?"

Sophia also nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, as long as I see this necklace, even if it kills me, Sophia, I will not hesitate."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present, except Tingdong, looked shocked, but Sophia's eyes shone with a strange look.

Tingdong glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Since Miss Sophia has made such a promise, I also want you to make a promise. As long as you walk out of the darkness and move toward the light for the sake of the family, even if Tingdong goes through fire and water,

No matter what.

"Everyone here can bear witness to me. We Chinese have always kept our promises, and I, Zhou Tingdong, have never made false promises. Sophia, don't you have another request? Please put it forward too!"

Sophia stood up quickly, hugged Tingdong tightly, and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you for your promise. With your support, Sophia vows to lead the whole family on a bright road."

Letting go of Tingdong, Sophia looked at Yani shyly and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Bai, I lost my temper a little."

Yanni smiled: "Miss Sophia is a true lover, what's wrong with her? I'd also like to hear what other thoughts you have."

She understood Tingdong's actions just now. He and Sophia had the same mood, and they both wanted to promote the next step of cooperation with James. In this way, the two aspects were connected together, making it impossible for James to abandon either party.

Based on her understanding of Tingdong, every word he said and everything he did on important occasions had profound meaning.

Sophia calmed down her emotions and said: "Ms. Bai, I took a look at the environment here. Apart from being closer to the police station, there are no other benefits. The conditions are very average and not suitable for Ms. Bai and her daughter to live for a long time.

"My idea is that you can move to our place. We have a manor near the suburbs. The conditions are not bad. Now that the mission is cancelled, I can withdraw my people and the service personnel can be hired again. You

how do you feel?"

Yani was very tempted by Sophia's idea. The environment here was indeed not very good. Although there was an event venue, there were many people and it was not very convenient.

However, she still looked at Tingdong inquiringly, not knowing what specific arrangements he had.

Tingdong looked at Sophia and saw that she was hesitant to speak, so he smiled and said: "Miss Sophia, just say whatever you have to say, and then we will discuss it together."

Sophia pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I am working outside as the heir of the family, and I can directly decide on general matters.

"However, if it is a major matter related to the family's future and destiny, I must also convene an elders' meeting through my father. Some of the elders of our family are still obsessed with the past life, but some of our young people have long ago not wanted to do that.

"So, to solve this problem and unify the family's thinking, I also want to use Zhou's power, hoping that he can help me convince those die-hards.

"Of course, in addition to Zhou's wisdom, I also need to rely on his force, because there are some people I can't handle, so there may be certain risks, so I'm embarrassed to speak out.

"Of course, I will do my best to ensure its safety. As long as I am here, I will not allow others to hurt it. I can promise this.

"As for the safety of Ms. Bai and the child, I will keep Anna here, so there should be no problem. That's why I suggest you live in the manor."

As soon as Sophia's words came out, the room suddenly became quiet. Yanni, Lingdi and even Juliet all showed worried looks.

Tingdong thought for a while and said: "I can agree to your request, but there are two conditions. First, Yani has just given birth for twenty days, so she can't move around all the time. This is not good for her health. We just moved

Moving away before you even live here will have a bad impact.

"Because I'm afraid of leaving traces, I rented this house through a friend. I have to make it clear to them, otherwise they will have other ideas, so I have to wait until Yani is one month old at the earliest before moving. It won't take too long, that is.

About ten days.

"Second, things have become a little complicated now. For safety reasons, I plan to recruit two people from China. My people will be responsible for Yani's safety. This will make me feel more at ease. Please understand.

"At the same time, we can also ask Anna to go back with us to ensure our strength. What do you think about this?"

Sofia said happily: "This is completely understandable. Of course I have no objection. I can handle both the invitation letter and the expenses."

Tingdong smiled: "That's not necessary. Just ask them to apply for a tourist visa. Half a month is enough, so there is no need to cause any trouble to you."

"Since Miss Sophia has no objection, we have agreed that in ten days, we will move to your manor. By then, my people will also come, and I will have no worries.

"However, we can't bring weapons here. For safety, my people need to be equipped with guns and ammunition. It's up to you to worry about it. Of course, my people will not use guns unless absolutely necessary."

Sofia nodded and said: "That's no problem, everything is ready-made, but the security in Stockholm is still good. Apart from us, you haven't provoked anyone here, so there should be no problem with safety.

"My men are absolutely reliable. They all listen to me and will never betray you. These are just precautions. Even in our family, the opposition does not have much force.

"Only one of my half-sisters, Garcia, is not inferior to me in martial arts. She and I don't have much to deal with, and her temper is rather wild, so the main thing is to deal with her, so you don't have to worry too much.

"Because she is my sister, and my father is still alive and dotes on her, so I can't take action against her. However, I understand her, and I will tell you what to do when the time comes."

Sophia's words made Yanni, Lingdi and Juliet feel relieved.

The general idea of ​​​​the matter was clear. Tingdong looked at everyone and said: "It's getting late, Lingdi, go buy some food. I will cook with you, and treat everyone to a Chinese meal in the evening. How about it?"

Juliet responded first: "Great, I really like the Chinese food you cook, it's great!"

Sofia smiled and said: "Then we will be in a good mood. In this way, Anna, you can go shopping with this lady and get acquainted with her. We will all be friends from now on."

Anna and Nancy couldn't be happier. Today's dramatic changes made them worry about the safety of the "princess", but everyone was happy, which greatly damaged their nerves.

Tingdong looked at Juliet and said: "Go back to your room and call your father, Juliet. Tell him about the situation here and my suggestions to see what his opinion is.

"If necessary, I may also visit him. Whatever can be decided here, we will decide it. Then if he has no objection, we will prepare to formally invite you to visit our country."

Sophia stood up and said, "Miss Juliet, please wait a moment. I'll call my men first. I almost forgot. I need to lift the surveillance on your father first to avoid misunderstandings."

Juliet has always been prejudiced against Sophia, and she doesn't know why. Maybe it's because Sophia's people arrested her, and it doesn't seem right. Was her position different at that time?

Why is that? It seems to be because Zhou, that Sophia and Zhou are too close, and Zhou is her friend's man. But, is it just because Zhou is Bai's man? Then why do I feel sour in my heart?

Could it be that I also fell in love with this handsome Chinese guy?

No, he is a friend's man, she kept telling herself.

It wasn't until this moment when she heard Sofia talking about calling her subordinates that she truly felt that this beautiful Italian girl like herself was really sincere.

She stretched out her hand with some embarrassment and said: "Thank you! Sophia, I sincerely hope to be your friend."

Sophia held her hand and said: "You're welcome, Juliet, it was my mistake first. Zhou has already accused me, so I am correcting my mistake."

After saying that, she leaned close to Juliet and whispered in her ear: "We should become good friends, because we both like Zhou, hehe!"

Juliet was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, as if someone had peeked into her mind, she glanced at Ting Dong secretly.

Sofia smiled and let go of Juliet's hand, picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and spoke a few words directly into the phone in Italian.

Then he put away the phone and said to Tingdong: "Zhou, I didn't mean to hide anything from you, because we usually use Italian. If I issue orders in English, they may be suspicious and suspect that I have been hijacked.

"In that case, there may be branches and unintended consequences."

Juliet could understand Italian, and she quickly said: "Yes, Zhou, Sofia and her subordinates said that the situation has changed and the mission has been cancelled. Don't take any action against James, his subordinates and family tomorrow."

Let Tom know again.
