Chapter 729 I Will Beat Him to Death

"Mr. Xiao, can we talk while we eat?" Sommerlet made a 'please' gesture.

Xiao Peng frowned. He cringed at the mere mention of "eating." He remembered his last meal at Friedrich's still vividly. He couldn't accept the pomp and circumstance of these nobles dining: devouring a dish in one gulp, then muttering for half an hour...

As if he knew what he was thinking, Sommeret smiled and said, "I'm not as picky as the Hohenzollern prince. Let's eat some local Swiss food and talk while we eat."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng complained in his heart: Friedrich's place is a bit particular about eating, but he doesn't make such a big fuss like you do!

Somolet waved his hand and all the waiters left. He took Xiao Peng and the other man into the restaurant.

In a restaurant of nearly 100 square meters, there was a small square table in the middle. A middle-aged woman in formal attire was standing beside the table. When she saw Xiao Peng, she greeted him with a smile.

Sommeret introduced, "This is my wife Victoria."

Xiao Peng was a little confused. There were so many etiquettes in Europe, such as cheek kisses, hand kisses, hugs, kisses... He didn't know how to greet Victoria.

Victoria eased Xiao Peng's embarrassment, stretched out her hands and kissed Xiao Peng on the cheek, then said, "Shall we sit down and eat while we talk?"

The three of them sat down. On the table were three large bowls filled with seafood chowder, and beside them were bread, meat, wine glasses, and other items.

Sommeret said, "Although I am Swedish and I love Sweden, I must admit that Sweden is a black hole of food. There is not much good food. It's just potatoes, potatoes, and potatoes. But the seafood and moose meat here are really good. You can try them."

Xiao Peng sat up straight and said, "Your Highness, I hope we can get to the point."

"Don't call me Prince," Sommerleit said. "Just call me Sommerleit. Xiao, I heard that you Chinese have a popular drinking culture. You like to sit down and talk about everything, right?"

Xiao Peng shook his head. "Somelet, I'm very grateful that you learned about Chinese culture before meeting me. However, Chinese 'drinking table culture' also has its own differences. It's not suitable for situations like today. If you have something to say, just speak directly. I'm completely confused right now. This feeling is not pleasant."

As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, Victoria's eyes suddenly turned red and she started wiping her tears.

Xiao Peng was a little confused. What was going on?

"Ms. Victoria, did you misunderstand something?" Xiao Peng said hurriedly. "Tildy and I are just casual friends. We don't have anything substantial to do. She now calls herself 'Yasmine' and we're just discussing music."

He thought the parents thought their daughter had been 'abused' and were rushing to explain. They couldn't let anyone misunderstand them, could they?

That's not right. Even if there was something going on between your daughter and me, why are you crying? Did I carry your daughter into a well or something? Why are you crying? Do you really look down on me?

Thinking of this, Xiao Peng became anxious again. What do you mean?

After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Somolet sighed and remained silent for a long time. After a while, Somolet said something that made Xiao Peng almost fall under the chair: "Tilty is a poor child. We are so sorry for her!"

"Puff!" Xiao Peng looked at Somolet. Your opening lines sound familiar. Are you a fan of Qiong Yao dramas?

Sommeret said: "Actually, the whole story is this: Tilti has a fiancé, but she is secretly in love with someone else and even wants to elope."

Xiao Peng thought for a moment. "She wasn't 'going' to elope, but had already eloped, right? I met her in Cologne. When I met her, he was frantically smashing a love lock tied to a bridge, looking like he'd been heartbroken."

Sommeret nodded. "Her fiancé is a descendant of Harald 'Bluetooth'. A banker in Copenhagen."

"Danish royal blood?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "Don't all Swedish royals marry commoners?"

Harald was a Viking who plundered Europe before founding and ruling Denmark. The Bluetooth logo we use today is named after him.

But here's a funny thing: Many people say that Bluetooth got this nickname because he ate too many blueberries. In fact, this is not the case. In the language of the time, the "blue" in the nickname "Bluetooth" probably came from the word "black," which means that the founding king of Denmark was a person who was famous for his big black teeth...

Incidentally, the death of "King Bluetooth" is very Viking-esque. He and his son become enemies, and the two of them sail out to sea for a duel, a very Viking-esque scene. Ultimately, Harald is defeated by his son and flees into the forest, where he is killed by his son's adoptive father...

This is quite messy.

Sommeret said, "There's nothing wrong with marrying a commoner, but that's the royal family's business, not ours. We also need to develop, right? Marrying a noble is a good way to do that."

Xiao Peng nodded and signaled Somolet to continue.

"But Tilti doesn't like her fiancé. Instead, she is having a hot affair with one of her online friends." said Sommerlet.

"Netizens?" Xiao Peng was stunned.

Thormolet nodded. "You see, Sweden is generally a less developed social society. We have a vast land and a sparse population, right? That's why online social networking is quite developed. Tilti received an aristocratic upbringing and has a profound musical background. The two of them met on a website specializing in beat music and started playing music together. 'Yasmin' was her screen name on the beat website back then."

Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! Oh my god, this is true love!"

Somolet said angrily, "How can that be considered true love? He's just a penniless liar!"

Xiao Peng shrugged and said, "Look, both are cases of infidelity. We Chinese have Pan Jinlian, who has been reviled for nearly a thousand years, while Rose in Titanic abandoned her fiancé and it was called true love. Why is that? It's because Pan Jinlian threw herself into the arms of 'capital,' while Rose abandoned the arms of 'capital.' Now, isn't Tilty abandoning the rich and throwing herself into the arms of the poor? This is definitely a love that people praise. It must be the man's talent that attracted Tilty, right?"

"But what if all of that man's works were created by Tilti and he was just using her as a stepping stone to success?" Somelite asked, "Mr. Xiao, if Tilti were your daughter, would you support such a love?"

"I'll beat him to death!"
