Chapter 192: Fooling Turando

The next day, Tulande arrived at Shitu's Restaurant on time.

After entering, he found that the restaurant was reserved. He raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly, appearing very satisfied.

The restaurant manager personally led him to his seat.

Bai Ruoqiao had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw him coming, she stood up and greeted him with a smile.

When Turandot saw that Bai Ruoqiao did not salute him, he felt better. A smile appeared on his face, showing some sunshine and vigor.

When Bai Ruoqiao saw this, he became more certain of his guess.

Turan is a contradictory person. Since he received a rigid family education since childhood, his living habits and certain cognitions also retain the adherence of a standard aristocrat.

However, he had a rebellious nature and was unwilling to be bound by his family. In the end, he became a contradiction in terms of his behavior and thoughts.

He wanted to break free from the shackles, but was unable to uphold the hierarchy of nobility.

After the two sat down, the manager tactfully left.

Turan began to talk to him enthusiastically about what she had said last night.

Bai Ruoqiao just said what he wanted to hear, and from time to time she also instilled in him the idea that "if you want freedom, you must demonstrate your values."

Under Bai Ruoqiao's control, Turandot became more and more relaxed, and even began to complain to her about the disputes at home.

Later she realized that this time Tulande was so angry that he came here to relax.

It was because his eldest brother was officially designated as the next heir to the family, and his father was preparing to marry him to the daughter of an earl.

On the surface, it was for his future development, but in reality, he just wanted to use his marriage to exchange for family benefits.

He was fed up with this puppet-like arrangement, but he was powerless to resist, so he could only run far away and pretend that he didn't see it.

After learning about these situations, Bai Ruoqiao became more confident about the plan in his mind.

So her smile became more sincere.

"Then was your brother, the Earl's marriage also arranged by the family?"

Turan curled his lips, "Of course, but I think he is quite happy with it."

Bai Ruoqiao smiled even more deeply. "So, you see, even if your eldest brother has created value for the family, he still cannot obtain the freedom to control his own life. Because even if he becomes the head of the family, he will still be subject to the thoughts and behaviors of other family members. After all, everyone is based on the interests of the family, right?"

Turan pursed his lips. He didn't want to delve into the details.

After all, he was taught since childhood that family interests come first. Even if he is not willing to accept it, he is still affected to some extent.

He suddenly asked, "What about you? Aren't you controlled by your family now?"

Bai Ruoqiao smiled and lowered his head to take a bite of steak. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, drank a sip of red wine slowly, and then said, "Actually, there is one thing I have deceived you about. Please forgive me. In the true sense, I am not a member of the Fred family, or a blood relative. To be precise, we should be partners."

Upon hearing this, Turandot frowned immediately and his expression darkened.

But Bai Ruoqiao didn't give him the chance to get angry.

"And doing this is exactly how I try to break free from the shackles imposed by my family."

Turande's anger choked, and he was slightly stunned. He tilted his head and asked her, "Your family?"

"Forgive me for having to conceal this. After all, their power is too great. I cannot tell you until I am completely free of it. It's not that I don't trust you, but I just don't want to drag you into this dispute."

Being in a big family, he knew the horror of oppression within the family. Turan was not very dissatisfied with this, but was just curious.

"How does your family compare to Solomon's?"

Bai Ruoqiao sighed helplessly, "Persevere."

Turan was surprised, and then paid attention to another point, "You want to leave the family?"

His expression was one of surprise and disbelief.

After all, the education he received since childhood made it completely impossible for him to think of leaving his family.

That is no longer heresy, but betrayal.
