Because of that 0 gold pound, the Moretti family's life improved a lot.
At least, the two brothers no longer need to wear a formal dress.
When Klein returned to his home, which was small and old, but extremely clean and warm, Benson and Melissa had already changed into formal clothes and were sitting on the second-hand sofa reading newspapers and mechanical books.
Seeing this, Klein couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
Only at this time will he gain a sense of warmth and belonging in this cold and dangerous world...
"I hope I didn't come back too late." Klein said while placing the exquisite gift box in his hand on the coffee table.
Melissa asked curiously: "Klain, what did you buy?"
But then, she thought of something again and frowned slightly, "I think I need to remind you that although we no longer need to plan for every penny like before, extravagance and waste is definitely not a good habit."
Beside him, Benson nodded repeatedly.
Klein twitched his lips and couldn't help but said: "Melissa, you are becoming more and more like your mother."
The children of the poor will become rich early. This is not just a saying.
Seeing that Melissa was hesitant to speak, Klein opened the gift box with a smile and took out a necklace made of sterling silver and set with garnets.
"Don't worry, I won't waste money... I just think that my sister needs a piece of jewelry to match her clothes occasionally."
Facts have proved that girls have no resistance to such shiny things. A sensible person like Melissa also fell in love the moment she saw the garnet necklace.
Benson glanced at Melissa's expression and smiled: "Kleon is right."
When Melissa came back to her senses, although her eyes were still focused on the necklace, she was still mumbling, "It's still a waste of money... We should plan wisely..."
"Don't worry, my current part-time job is very profitable, and I recently received a big job. The employer is... ahem, in short, he is a rich man from Backlund, and he gave me a lot of consulting fees."
Thinking of Jon Joestar's handsome face, he felt like he deserved a beating no matter how he looked at it, so Crane weaved a white lie to his family.
Brother and sister Benson and Melissa knew about Klein's part-time job.
But this was the first time they had heard of the wealthy employer from Backlund.
Klein didn't want to explain too much on this issue, so he took out a silver pocket watch from the gift box and handed it to his brother, "It will be very useful if a lady asks you for the time at a banquet."
Benson was surprised, "Am I involved too?"
Klein said seriously: "What I want to say is that you have reached the age to get married."
Benson touched his slightly awkward forehead and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, he did not refuse Klein's kindness.
Some are just happy.
The younger brother who needed protection at the beginning has grown up...
The atmosphere is extremely warm.
Klein's heart was also greatly satisfied.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of working hard to make money is to enable yourself and your family to live a good life.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the bathroom.
Klein, who was originally immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of the family, was slightly startled and couldn't help but ask: "Are there other guests at home?"...
Melissa, who was still examining the craftsmanship of the necklace, raised her head and suddenly said: "I forgot to tell you that the friend I recently met will attend Selena's birthday party with us."
"Friend?" Klein's temples were beating slightly.
Spirit is giving a warning.
He instinctively sensed that Melissa's 'friend' didn't seem simple.
really.
Following a brisk pace, a girl with a round face and a beautiful face appeared in Klein's sight.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Klein's hair suddenly stood up.
Demon...witch!
"Meili
Sarah, is this the Crane you talked about?" Triss greeted him shyly, as if it was her first time meeting Crane, "Hello, I'm Triss,
The daughter of a watchmaker on East Street just moved here recently."
"Hello..." Klein's acting skills are also top-notch, and there are no flaws.
Melissa looked at Triss and then at Klein. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was right.
She rolled her eyes, thought about it, and said deliberately: "Triss, don't look at Klein like this. In fact, he is very gentle and considerate, and he knows how to care about girls."
As she said that, she deliberately showed off the garnet necklace, "Look, this is the gift he just gave me."
It's not a deliberate show off between little girls, but a way to establish a good man's character for Klein.
Triss had the purpose of deliberately getting close to Klein, so of course she was very cooperative.
Little did he know that Klein was about to explode in his heart.
Sister, what on earth are you doing?
That is a Sequence 7 Beyonder!
"I have to calm down." Klein breathed out quietly, forcing himself to maintain correct judgment.
Now, there is only one option, which is to temporarily stabilize this witch.
Then……
Report to the Church of the Night?
no.
Now Captain Dunn Smith, the highest ranking member of the Nighthawks team, is only on par with the witch in front of him, and the outcome of his attack is unknown.
Then, we can only ask Jon Joestar for help.
Thinking of this, Klein's hand unconsciously reached into his pocket.
Inside, there is a mobile phone that has been protected by the true God.
Of course Triss didn't know she had been exposed.
She was obviously talking to Melissa, but her attention was always on Klein.
In fact, she had already noticed the existence of Crane Moretti in the cafe that day. After the failure of her first contact with Jon Joestar, her evil idea naturally fell on this seemingly '
An honest young man.
As an assassin, you must approach the target quietly, find the enemy's weakness, and then kill it with one strike!
Triss's mind was already planning to stage another 'fateful encounter' drama.
…
…
Four people can sit on a public carriage without feeling crowded.
Soon, Klein and the others arrived at Selena's birthday party.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jumping off the carriage, Klein pretended to feel chest tight and said to Melissa and Benson: "I seem to be a little motion sick."
"Motion sickness?" Melissa looked at her brother with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's just a small problem. It will be fine if you get some air outside." Klein forced a smile, "You guys go in first, I'll be there soon."….
"This... okay." Although Melissa and Benson were worried about Klein's physical condition, after all, motion sickness was just a minor matter, so they didn't say anything more. After giving a few instructions, they walked into Selina's house.
Halfway through, Benson seemed to have thought of something, but before he could speak, Melissa grabbed him and interrupted him.
"Benson, Klein is not young anymore." Melissa, who is called sister but is actually mother, said in a faint tone.
Benson suddenly realized it and couldn't help but look back.
Triss and Crane?
Um.
Not to mention, it looks quite suitable.
Putting the brother and sister aside, Triss, who did not leave, pretended to be concerned and said, "I'm really sorry. If I didn't mean to ride with you, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable. It's all my fault."
This was said very deliberately, but Triss didn't care because she had enough confidence in her damn charm.
Klein got goosebumps when he heard it.
He simply could not accept that the "instigator" who had created a tragedy was standing in front of him, tenderly and lovingly asking questions.
"I'm fine..." Klein looked pale
He forced out a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Triss. You can go in first. I'll just stay alone for a while."
Triss seemed not to have expected that Klein would reject her, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
But she knew that there was no rush to get close to him, so she could only nod her head politely, leaving Klein with a beautiful back full of daydreams.
Seeing that Triss was really gone, Klein immediately seemed like a different person. He rushed to a secluded corner, took out his cell phone, and dialed the only number on it.
"Help, help! I'm being targeted by a witch!"
…
…
Although Selina's house is also a townhouse, it is different from Moretti's house.
There is a porch and a lawn here, which makes it look extremely exquisite.
Klein and his party didn't wait long before they met today's protagonist, Selena Wood, a young girl with bright red hair who is enthusiastic and generous.
The girls gathered together like a flock of chirping sparrows.
You complimented my dress, I complimented your necklace, and the conversation was all about useless things.
Of course, the men who came to the banquet also had their own topics to talk about.
Selina's father, Mr. Wood, a senior employee of Backlund Bank's Tingen branch, walked among the guests with a wine glass. When he saw Klein and Benson, he said with a smile on his face: "Welcome, our reliable brother
, of course, you are also welcome, young historian."
While Mr. Wood and the Moretti brothers were chatting, the girls' eyes were also focused on the two young men.
"Melissa, your brothers are more handsome than I thought."
"I really envy you. You have a brother who can give you gifts. My brother will only find various excuses to borrow money from me to buy cigarettes and alcohol."
"Who says it's not the case? My brother never settles for a minute and always disturbs me when I read..."
At this moment, Klein, who had finished his greetings, suddenly walked over with a wine glass in his hand.
The girls who were whispering a second ago suddenly became dignified, perfectly interpreting the social image of ladies...
"Miss Selena, you are the shining star tonight... Of course, all the other ladies are not inferior either."
He opened his mouth with compliments, and Klein's words put the girls in a good mood.
Melissa's eyes were filled with brilliance, and she felt as if her brother had become a different person.
After talking about social rhetoric, it’s time to talk about business.
Klein deliberately ignored Triss and said to Selina: "Miss Selina, I have a friend from Backlund who happens to be in Tingen. He is a young and promising writer.
Hearing that today is your birthday, he took the liberty to come over and said that he wanted to personally send blessings to a beautiful young lady. By the way, I just told Mr. Wood about this..."
Friends from Backlund personally send blessings to me?
Selena Wood was stunned for a moment, then reacted in the envious eyes of her friends around her. She suppressed her joy and nodded reservedly, "Of course, I welcome you."
In fact, this is easy to understand.
The Beijing household registration is just a dimension-reducing blow to small town girls.
Among the crowd, Triss felt something move in her heart.
Writer from Backlund.
Isn’t that Jon Joestar?
really.
Approaching Crane Moretti was the right move.
No, here's the opportunity!
About fifteen minutes later, a young gentleman wearing a suit, vest, top hat, and a gold-embedded cane came to the door of Wood's house.
The moment he appeared, almost all attention was focused on him.
It is an indescribable temperament...
Elegant, profound, and elegant.
Seeing the person coming, Klein's heart finally returned to the distance. After many looks, he stepped forward to greet him, shook hands with the person, "Jon, you're here."
Received a distress call and came to the rescue
Jon smiled, "I hope my arrival will not cause trouble to the owner of this place."
Klein twitched his lips.
You can really pretend.
However, remembering that the person in front of him was his most reliable leg at present, he naturally suppressed those messy thoughts and said, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Wood."
When entering the venue for the first time, some polite greetings and greetings are indispensable.
Although the girls looked at him calmly, if you look carefully, you will find that each of their eyes are shining.
"So high!"
"So handsome."
"Melissa, your brother actually knows such a friend?"
"Oh my God, I felt like he was smiling at me just now..."
Regardless of his status, height or appearance, Jon's hard conditions are top-notch, not to mention how much his elegant formal attire and expensive-looking gold-encrusted cane can add to his impression.
Melissa's face was also flushed.
No girl can withstand the charm of the rich young man from Beijing.
But she always had some sense and shook her head: "I don't know what's going on."
While talking, Klein and Jon came here.
Jon took off his hat, revealing his neatly styled black hair, "Miss Selena, it's nice to meet you. I wish you a happy birthday and eternal youth."
Selena's face soon became as red as her hair, and she was stunned and speechless.
Jon didn't care. He took out a small gift box from his pocket and said, "It was just a last-minute gift. I didn't have much preparation. Please accept it if you think it's a little thoughtful."
Selena likes
Klein was dumbfounded.
Good guy, you are really good at it.
But brother, picking up girls is not the focus now, the focus is the witch over there who keeps a fake smile!
Turning his head, Jon seemed to have suddenly discovered something, with a hint of surprise in his tone, "You are... Miss Triss? Haha, what a coincidence."
Triss was overjoyed, but she pretended to be shy, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Jon here. I'm sorry for disturbing you last time."
Beside, Klein blinked.
ox.
Each one is better than the other.
It seems that I still have a long way to go in terms of pretending to be stupid and stupid.
