Because it was morning, there were not many people in the restaurant. Ying looked at the menu and ordered several items.
"That much?"
Ying smiled and said: "It's almost noon anyway, so just treat it as breakfast and lunch together."
"That's fine." Amy smiled.
After a while, the food was served, and we were enjoying steak, red wine and other delicacies.
Amy's mood gradually calmed down and she asked, "Aren't you dropping out of school to work? Why are you still spending so much money?"
"It doesn't matter once in a while." Ying said with a smile while cutting the steak: "But if you want me to treat you every day, then I will have a headache."
Amy chuckled and asked: "Why did you think of coming to see me today? It seems that we have only met twice." As she said this, she extended a 2-digit finger.
Ying sighed: "I can't help it, I'm in a bad mood, so I want to find someone to talk to."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Amy asked, "Is there something unpleasant?"
"How should I put it?" Ying thought for a while and said, "I am hated by a woman."
Amy's heart trembled slightly and asked: "Is...is she your girlfriend?"
Ying shook his head and said: "No."
"Ah." Amy nodded, feeling inexplicably more relaxed: "Is she someone you care about?"
Ying nodded: "I do care a little."
"Is he your relative?"
Ying nodded again: "I guess so."
"Should?" Amy thought this word was a bit ridiculous: "Why should she hate you."
Ying sighed: "For a mistake that is not my fault at all."
"Well, it sounds a bit complicated."
Ying smiled and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm not asking you to help me recall my pain. Tell me something about you."
"My affairs? What can I say about my affairs?" Amy said, "I am just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family, living an ordinary and repetitive life every day."
Yingxiao asked: "Have you ever thought about what kind of boyfriend you want to find in the future?"
"This...why do you ask that?" Amy felt a little embarrassed.
"Tell me about it and I can give you some reference."
Amy shook her head: "I won't tell."
"I can guess it even if you don't tell me." Ying said, "You must want to find a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend."
Amy smiled and said: "Everyone thinks about this."
"Then what do you think of me?" Ying put on a pose that she thought was good.
Amy burst out laughing again: "You? You are handsome enough, but you don't seem to be tall or very rich."
Ying touched his chin and said, "You will continue to grow taller. It's hard to say whether you will be rich or not in the future."
Amy thought for a while and said: "Then let me ask you a question. Did you panic about what you said in the restaurant yesterday?"
"Huh?" Ying didn't expect her to ask this suddenly.
Amy said: "I don't like people who lie to me."
Ying hesitated for a moment, unable to speak for a moment.
"You hesitated. It seems like you really lied."
Ying nodded and said: "Yes, I lied yesterday." He didn't know how far Amy had seen through his lies, so he had to say directly: "What I said yesterday was not my true situation. In fact, I didn't drop out of school and work.
It’s a matter of fact, because I never went to school.”
"Um?"
Ying smiled bitterly and said: "You know that people who have not studied in an academy are easily disgusted and discriminated against by others. Especially in a big city like the capital, even ordinary families will look down on those who have not studied in an academy.
People."
"That's it, I didn't expect this to be the reason." Amy looked quite apologetic.
Ying looked at her expression and added: "But my living situation is not as bad as you think. In fact, I am quite rich."
"Ah?!" Amy was surprised.
Yingdao: "It's true. I've been making money as a mercenary, and I've made a lot of money. So if you ask me to treat you to steak in the future, it doesn't matter even if I do it for the rest of my life."
"You... what are you talking about?" Amy's face turned red, she lowered her head and absentmindedly cut into the beef on the plate.
Ying smiled: "By the way, has your father applied for the security guard exam?"
Amy shook her head: "I don't know."
"How could you not know? Don't you care about him?" Ying asked.
"I had a problem with him last night."
"Hey, how come? Aren't you very happy yesterday afternoon?" Ying was very surprised.
Amy said: "It's my dad who saw that you were lying and asked me not to have anything to do with you in the future."
"Oh, you were at odds with your father just because of me."
"Yeah." Amy nodded, suddenly came to her senses, and shook her head hurriedly: "No, it's not..." Although she denied it, it was of no use, and her face suddenly turned red.
Shadow chuckled...
On the other side, Tongshan Prison.
"I've told you so much, and you still don't want to say it?" Trossa lost some patience: "You should know that going against Prince Zarberg will not end well. If you don't think about yourself, you won't end well.
You should think about your family. Your beautiful wife, and your parents and son in other provinces."
"You!" Hohenheim showed anger on his face.
Trossa raised his head and stopped him: "Don't be angry yet, this is not a threat. According to your military position, you really shouldn't keep the 'Charm of Control' now, so why are you still holding something that doesn't belong to you? No.
Holding your things in your hands will not only do no good, but will also cause you unnecessary trouble. In fact, you understand that Lord Wang Jue has no absolute reason to target you. If you think that the 'Charm of Control' is a bargaining chip
, now is the best time to make a deal.”
Hohenheim grabbed the bars of the cell and thought about it for a long time. He also understood that the matter of the 'Charm of Control' could not be saved after all.
Trossa continued to persuade: "Based on your relationship with the prince, I believe that as long as you hand over the 'Character of Control', the prince will not embarrass you. You should also understand that you can never keep this thing. At the end of it,
Take action when there is value, this is the choice of a smart person."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hoynheim punched the cage hard: "If he wants the 'Charm of Control', let him tell me himself."
"Okay!" Trossa smiled with satisfaction: "I will convey your words to Lord Wang Jue. I believe Lord Wang Jue will give you a fair reward."
Seeing Trossa leave triumphantly, Raymond looked at Hohenheim in the prison and could only shake his head.
…
It was almost noon, or for Hindmore, it was not yet noon. The sun was still slanting in the east at around 11 o'clock, but it was almost time to have lunch.
Andrew and his companion Lloyd came to the Gem District, the only and largest slum in Hindmore.
"Your friend lives here?" Lloyd saw the low-rise houses around him, some of which were already dilapidated and dilapidated. On the dirt road, just two steps would bring up the dust all over the street, and some of them had runny noses.
The dirty children were running around in the alley, their faces painted like a tabby cat with their dried and crusted noses.
Lloyd sighed: "It turns out that a city as glamorous as Hindmore has a place like this. It makes me feel like those small countries and towns on the seaside."
"Hey here, handsome guys, look here..." Several lost women standing on the street greeted them one after another: "Come over and have fun, challenge one-on-one to whatever you want, we will give you the best service." Slum area.
Customers cannot afford to pay too high prices, and being able to serve several customers from outside the gemstone area is the most important thing.
Lloyd shook his head and said, "We should really bring a doctor to this place. He always likes to do human research and won't refuse anyone who comes."
Andrew led the way around two street corners and soon came to the place where Grandon often gambled.
Under the old locust tree, Feisuo, the red-haired monkey, was playing cards with a few friends under the shade of a few rotten wooden tables and chairs. Because he and Glendon went to the Paradise Tower, his style at this time
Everything is different. He is wearing a gorgeous fur coat, with a lot of gold jewelry hanging on his wrists and neck, and a thick black cigar in his mouth. In such a hot summer, he also wears a fox fur scarf.
On his shoulders. He is not afraid of the heat, because these clothes are embedded with cold cryolite. When he plays cards with his friends and talks, he becomes full of arrogance. Of course, this kind of arrogance is the arrogance of sudden wealth.
"Hey Brother Feisuo, do you think those two people are here to see Brother Glendon?" In the past, these gambling friends who played cards together were called Feisuo Red Monkey, but now they are called Brother Feisuo.
Feisuo took off the big cigar from his mouth and turned back to Andrew and the two who were walking this way: "I recognize this man. He also came to see Brother Glendon last time." He said and took his hand slowly.
He put his cards on the table and said to several gamblers, "Don't look at my cards." Then he went to greet Andrew and the others.
"Little red-haired brother, we meet again." Andrew said.
"Yes, we meet again." Feisuo held his cigar in his mouth and sipped vigorously, his tone no longer as polite as when they first met: "Are you here to see my eldest brother again?"
Andrew said: "Yes, please take us to see Glendon."
Feisuo bounced his legs and said indifferently: "But I remember what my eldest brother said last time. He said he didn't want to deal with you anymore, didn't he?"
"You..." Lloyd couldn't bear the arrogant attitude of this ruffian young man.
Andrew stopped him and said to Feisuo: "I believe Glendon will still see me if he knows that I will come to him again."
Feisuo looked at the two of them carefully and knew that they were both very capable guys. He didn't dare to offend them too much and said, "Okay then, come with me and I will take you there."
"Brother Feisuo, are you leaving?" Several gambling youths asked when they saw Fei Suo leaving.
Feisuo waved his hand impatiently: "Wait for me. I'll be here in a moment. You guys play first. I will lose this game."
Several gambling youths smiled hurriedly and said: "Hey, thank you, Brother Feisuo."
