Joyner waved her hands repeatedly and said awkwardly: "Being your guarantor is just a small matter. I am honored to help you, but if you use your car as a thank you, I really dare not accept it. It is too expensive."
Fan Jianqiang saw that this noble lady was already so poor and yet she was not greedy for money. He secretly felt that the nature of people in this small world was so simple.
"Mrs. Dupont, you don't have to worry about it. A car is really nothing to me. Just treat it as a friend. Friends don't need to be too familiar with each other."
Joyner said awkwardly: "How is this possible?"
Fan Jianqiang smiled and said: "Actually, I still have many places in Luxu that I need your guidance and help in. If you insist not to accept my gift, it means you don't want to help me, right?"
"Where, where, I'm very happy to help you... then..."
…
After all, Joyner finally accepted it.
As he spoke, he had already reached his destination.
Joyner, who was in high spirits, invited Fan Qiangqiang to attend this party, which was also a gathering of the nobles of Kabila City. Fan Qianqiang didn't want to attend at first, but he couldn't resist Joyner's warm invitation, so he joined her to bring Susie and
The ancient wood male elf was also brought in.
In the splendid hall, with fragrant clothes and shadows, the well-dressed nobles chatted very reservedly, quietly but cordially in twos and threes. The topics discussed were either national events or some international news that had long been considered old news.
Or it could be the romantic affair of a noble in the country.
When they saw Joyner and several strangers walking in, they cast their eyes over one after another and whispered to each other.
A lady about the same age as Joyner came over with three other female companions.
Fan Jianqiang, a stranger, was introduced to each other, and Fan Jianqiang casually named him Zhang San.
The other party is the Countess of Kabila City.
The noble titles here are divided into five levels, the highest is Duke, followed by Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron.
The Countess is naturally more noble than the Viscountess Joyner.
Because Fan Qiangqiang claimed to be Joyner's friend when he introduced himself, the countess and the other three female companions also looked down upon Fan Qiangqiang.
Among nobles, the level of the title, and even the status of the same title in big cities and small cities, are all different. The hierarchy system is very strict. Joyner is only the wife of a viscount, and she is also a declined viscount, so naturally
No one would think that a friend of the Viscountess like Fan Qianqiang could have such a noble status.
Since not many people paid attention to her, Fan Jianqiang didn't mind. Seeing Joyner's lonely appearance but pretending to be happy, he couldn't help but sympathize with this aunt.
The four of them sat on the sofa by the window near the balcony, tasting the red wine and snacks provided by the host. This wine was far inferior to the red wine produced in Apando's space. They drank it casually to moisten their throats.
Not long after we chatted, a lady suddenly came over and greeted Joyner with a smile. After a few words of greeting, the lady suddenly seemed to have discovered something and stared at Joyner hanging on her neck.
After looking at a pearl necklace for a while, he exclaimed in an exaggerated voice, so loud that it attracted many people around him.
"Joyner, this necklace of yours is fake! Oh my God, my God, you don't know?"
Joyner was stared at by everyone, wishing there was a crack in the ground that she could crawl through, her face turned red.
"It's unimaginable, Joyner, that you are actually wearing fake jewelry. Take it off quickly. If someone who knows the jewelry sees it, they will laugh at you."
"I...I..." Joyner was too embarrassed to speak.
Fan Qiangqiang glanced at the lady in front of him who was gloating about the good show with disgust, and said in a neutral tone: "Yes, Joyner's necklace is indeed a fake. Madam, you should know that there are many thieves in the city, right?
?The reason Joyner did this was just because she didn’t want to become the target of a thief.”
An unknown female guest said abruptly: "I heard that Viscount Dupont's financial situation is not very good, so it's not surprising that Mrs. Dupont's is wearing a fake necklace!"
Another talkative woman said with ill intentions: "I don't know if the Viscountess has a real necklace!"
"How can we wear fake necklaces to attend banquets of our nobles? If uninformed people see it, they will think that we are all wearing fake jewelry!"
"Countess, why do you invite a person with a lack of moral character to attend the banquet of our superiors?"
Susie looked at these sarcastic people coldly, and asked Fan Qiangqiang mentally if he could teach them a lesson.
Even the ancient wood elf, who had always been very calm and composed, showed a sullen expression.
Fan Jianqiang suddenly burst out laughing. His laughter was full of energy, interrupting the voices of doubt and ridicule.
He sneered and stared at the lady who was the first to gloat, and said calmly: "Joyina is just a low-key and cautious person. Do you have too many ideas? What's more, your eyes are also
It’s so problematic, I can guarantee that if you compare wealth, even if you all put it together, you are not as rich as Joyner!”
Everyone was in an uproar, some laughed at Fan Jianqiang for talking nonsense, and some even said with certainty that he had seen a servant of Viscount Dupont's family selling jewelry in a pawn shop.
Susie held tightly the hand of Joyner who could no longer sit still, looked at her with a smile, and reassured her.
Fan Jianqiang looked around at the crowd with disdain and said slowly: "You are so stupid!" He stood up, with a height of 1.85 meters, and glanced with an oppressive look, and said: "Actually, I am from the Western Continent.
Joyner, a businessman from a certain country, ordered a latest and most high-end car from our company. I came to Luxu this time specifically to transport this car by ship. Don’t think arbitrarily that I am lying again. Car
Stop outside now!”
Seeing a group of nobles walking out of the hall with hesitation, Fan Jianqiang asked in a low voice: "Joyina, how much does the most expensive car in your Luxu country cost?"
Joyner was startled and said quickly: "The most expensive thing is the count's car, which costs 300,000 yuan."
Fan Jianqiang smiled and said, "Just say your car cost 600,000."
…
The silver-gray electronic paint is a technology that this small world of Yushu has not yet been able to achieve. The style of the car is also very trendy for this place. Every detail on the car is far beyond the reach of the old-fashioned cars here.
In comparison!
These bored nobles and noble ladies were dumbfounded.
Now, it's their turn to be embarrassed.
Fan Jianqiang pretended to take out a gold bar two centimeters thick and as big as half a book from his coat at the right time. He showed it in front of the nobles and said disdainfully: "This pure gold bar was given to me by Joyner."
Reward, please note, this is not the cost of purchasing the car, but the tip she gave me,
This car plus shipping costs a total of 600,000 Lu coins. I think even the most expensive car here is not necessarily more expensive than this car, right? Even the most generous nobles here are not so
Big? So, please put away your contemptuous face and don’t take ignorance as fun!”
The scene was completely silent, and everyone was shocked.
Fan Jianqiang sneered: "It's not interesting here, why not leave!"
Joyner, who had not recovered yet, hummed and walked down the steps gracefully.
…
It wasn't until this super-era car drove far away that the group of aristocrats finally became lively, and everyone was talking about the Viscount Dupont and his wife and their astronomically priced new car.
People were talking, marveling, and gossiping, but there was no trace of the so-called nobility.
A man with a relatively long face and a layer of white powder and other cosmetics on his face smiled and said: "You have guessed wrong. The family of Viscount Dupont is very embarrassed, even though the couple is still outside.
Have you ever seen a nobleman who keeps his clothes well but does not change a coat or leather shoes for three years?"
The euphemistic man cleared his throat and continued: "Furthermore, in recent years, has Viscount Dupont bought new furniture and new slaves for his home? I heard that their servants have often been dishonest and dishonest, and they have been punished by them.
After you dismissed me, did you find a new servant?"
One person said sarcastically: "Baron Max is right. Kabila Auction House held an auction of slaves two years ago. I invited Viscount Dupont to participate. Our viscount seemed to be particularly picky and kept talking.
Those slaves were so despicable, disgusting and lazy that I didn’t even buy a single slave.”
Baron Max smiled and said: "That's it. I think that tall young man is the real rich. His two servants are both very beautiful. Can you afford such high-quality servants? I want to ask everyone here
Everyone, who owns it? That car must belong to that guy..."
"Tian Weiye, he said his name is Tian Weiye."
"Yes, that's him!"
…
Fan Qiangqiang visited Viscount Dupont. The viscount was reading at home, and he was walking around the study room pretending to be 13 with an arm on his back. Sometimes his expression was rich, as if he was moved by some plot in the book.
Sometimes he closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he was recalling the wonderful words in the book.
When Joyner told the Viscount that Fan Qiangqiang gave their family a car, the Viscount's eyes widened, he threw the book in his hand, his expression suddenly became colorful, and he looked at his wife suspiciously.
"You must have done something to feel sorry for me, right?"
Joyner was stunned for a moment, and her expression slowly turned cold.
"DuPont, do you know what you are talking about? You actually doubt me!"
"Otherwise, why did he give you the car? Tell me."
Joyner was sullen and raised her voice: "You should go see Mr. Tian Weiye immediately, and you will be ashamed of your sensitivity and suspicion!"
"Of course I'm going to entertain the guests, and right away!"
It wasn't until DuPont came to the living room and saw the young, handsome and extraordinary-tempered Uncle Fan that he finally dispelled his doubts.
It is impossible for such a young and wealthy young man, a foreign aristocrat from the Western Continent, to like his middle-aged and fat wife.
Fan Qiangqiang took out a box of red wine and a bag of big-leaf fragrant tea as a greeting gift while Joyner went upstairs to invite her husband down and the maid went to the kitchen to make tea.
The conversation was very pleasant. The Viscount Dupont and his wife were full of praise for the red wine sent by Fan Qianqiang. When they saw the car parked in the yard, their attitude became even more amiable. Fan Qianqiang made his own request. One was Lu.
