Chapter 80: Housewarming Party (Part 2)



"Oh? A casino owner? He seems to be pursuing Miss Li?"

After listening to Wei Yixin’s introduction.

Alan blinked and looked in the direction of the old man again. This old guy is really good. He may be old, but his heart is young.

I have seen old cows eating young grass, but it is rare to see old grass eating young cows. It's like a pear tree overshadowing a crabapple tree...

Tsk tsk tsk.

He took Li Zhi's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Why didn't you tell me these things..."

Alan held Li Zhi's hand and pulled him gently, then he stood beside Alan obediently, his heart pounding.

"Your Excellency... This is the original owner of this house, Li Jiacheng. Mr. Li has made many contributions to Hong Kong over the years and has made great achievements in the real estate industry."

Wei Yixin pointed at the bespectacled Li Jiacheng who came closer and introduced him to Allen. Then he looked at Li Jiacheng and said, "Mr. Li, I am going to introduce this person to you and everyone else."

He glanced at the hall and saw that with his appearance, the guests who were communicating in the hall quieted down and turned their eyes here.

"This is His Excellency Alan Hill."

"Mr. Allen is a hereditary earl of Great Britain, with his fief in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The surname Hill, in Chinese, also means big mountain and reliable!"

"Wales has many mountains and fortresses. It can be regarded as a large ancient battlefield, and the Hill family is the mountain of the entire Welsh region."

After listening to Wei Yixun's introduction which combined Chinese and Western elements, several Hong Kong residents suddenly realized that this should be roughly equivalent to the ancient Chinese emperors bestowing surnames on important ministers. It turned out that he had a very important background. The new governor was indeed an expert on China. With just a few brief explanations, everyone had their first impression of the young man standing next to the governor!

A hereditary earl with fiefdoms.

These two are things that ordinary people today dare not even think about.

To sum it up in one sentence - a prominent family background!

"The Earls of Carmarthen have always been loyal to the Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They also have the responsibility to protect His Royal Highness, garrison and monitor the borders for His Royal Highness. They are the closest ministers to His Royal Highness, and Sir Allen currently serves as the personal assistant to His Royal Highness Charles."

"Mr. Allen and I have known each other for many years. This time, Mr. Allen heard that I was appointed as the Governor of Hong Kong, so he came to Hong Kong specially. First, he wanted to see where I was working, and second, he wanted to have some fun."

When the old man heard this, his heart trembled violently. Not only was this person a great noble, but he was also the personal assistant to the prince. This kind of personal assistant was a close confidant!

No wonder the Governor of Hong Kong received this distinguished guest so carefully.

This is indeed a genuine distinguished guest!

How could such a person come to Hong Kong quietly?

Just to congratulate the Governor?

His ancestors had the noble title of knight awarded by Portugal. He knew very well that it was not that simple. How could an earl come to Hong Kong specially just to congratulate a small knight governor on his appointment?

He must have other purposes!

The current situation is a bit confusing. Many people are confused about the future and don’t know what to do after returning. Is this person coming here to check out the situation here on behalf of the prince?

No matter what, even now, this gentleman is definitely the most important figure in Hong Kong!

Now, looking at Li Zhi who was holding hands with this gentleman and standing beside him, the old man was even a little scared. Fortunately, he didn't behave out of line just now, otherwise...

If this person were to whisper in my ear, wouldn't I die without knowing why?

No...I have to find a way to repair the relationship.

"Oh...it's Mr. Li. I've read a lot of newspapers these days and have heard of you. Thank you for finding this temporary residence for me. I'd like to communicate with you more if I have the chance some other day."

Alan spoke very politely, but his expression was a little cold, as if he was being polite out of habit, and there was a feeling that he was keeping people at a distance.

But after hearing his words, Li Jiacheng pushed his black-framed glasses excitedly, bowed and said, "It is an honor for this villa and mine that you can live in this villa. It is just a small matter and not worth your thanks. If you need anything, you can summon me at any time."

"Um……"

Alan snorted slightly, indicating that he had heard what he said. He turned his head and took another look at the old man who had come closer. The man that Wei Yixin introduced was the gambling owner.

"Oh……"

I don't want to talk to him, so I just give him a cold look and let him figure it out himself.

Allen held Li Zhi's hand and walked towards the dining table. Today's housewarming party was more Western style, like a cocktail party. The food was buffet style. Everyone was holding wine glasses and chatting. The overall atmosphere was relatively relaxed, but with Allen's appearance, the atmosphere on the scene became visibly serious.

Following the Governor-General's introduction, everyone present had a new understanding of the Earl who appeared in Hong Kong. Some people have begun to consider whether they can visit this Excellency in private again, or quickly call Britain to see if they can find out about this Excellency's preferences.

As for his identity...

No one would doubt it, because the governor personally introduced it in front of so many people, how could it be false?

"Can you stay with me today?"

After the housewarming party ended and the guests were sent away, guest Allen held Li Zhi's hand and asked softly in Li Zhi's ear, looking like he was drunk.

The hot air exhaled from his mouth, accompanied by the smell of alcohol, rushed to Li Zhi's ears, making the color of her entire neck turn visibly red.

Through the contact over the past few days, Alan did not behave like a young man who was impatient.

Instead, he was very sensible and let Li Zhi accompany her for a walk during the day and let her go home at night. He was very sensible.

Today was the first time he asked Li Zhi to accompany him.

Although he is good-looking, most women would be moved when they see a man like Allen for the first time, but Allen does not want to use this advantage to make himself look too low.

We can't always have a strong primitive atmosphere like Meryl.

Sometimes you can also have some fun, like now, showing the other person your good manners and gentlemanly demeanor.

After he teased the other person for a few days, they became familiar with each other and developed the relationship further.

For some people, there is no need to play with emotions, and everyone can cooperate smoothly when playing together. But for Li Zhi in front of him, from the first time he saw her, Allen felt that she was a person who appeared very cold on the surface, but was actually warm on the inside.

For such a lady, you can't be too direct. You have to take it slow and accumulate some feelings so that you can unlock her better.
