As the host, Tang Yijin cautiously asked, "May I ask what the two distinguished guests are talking about?"
Duanmu Ci smiled and said, "It's like this, Lord Nordin said he would give me a purebred Hanoverian horse as a testament to our friendship."
After hearing the translation, Nordin realized what had happened and shook his head with a mournful face.
Everyone, "..." I don't believe you!
Although we don't understand what you're saying, we can at least read faces. Looking at that foreigner's face, like he'd just lost his father, we know it's nothing good... wait, losing his father means inheriting the title, which doesn't seem like a bad thing... Oops, that's not it! It's that our intelligence has been insulted, okay?!
Seeing the situation was turning sour, Tang Jingchang hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "A horse isn't a big deal. Let's not talk about that now. Let's talk about something interesting instead." He then gestured to Duanmu Ci with his eyes, implying that he should let Duanmu Ci off the hook. Duanmu Ci understood and nodded.
Without Duanmu Ci's interference, Notting then began to fully display his aristocratic demeanor, performing exceptionally well with the help of the translator.
"...Actually, Earl Rennes wasn't always like this. In 1979, the Rennes family was even on the Forbes rich list. Their current predicament is all thanks to the global financial crisis, which caused Earl Rennes to lose his estate and winery. He can't even afford to support his mistress, and I've heard that his illegitimate son is receiving government aid."
For the rest of the time, Notting talked about anecdotes from European high society. These were things that ordinary people rarely heard of, and they kept coming out of Notting's mouth. Everyone present listened with great interest, and listening to these nobles' jokes made them feel as if they had squeezed into that circle themselves.
They, who came from humble backgrounds, enjoyed this illusion.
Duanmu Ci was different; he was thinking about other things. Actually, the relationship between the Orsia family and the Renn family was never good; the origins of this feud could even be traced back to the Holy Roman Empire. In short, the two families simply couldn't stand each other.
That is precisely why Nordin dared to make such a brazen joke about Earl Renn; otherwise, he wouldn't have done something that so seriously violated aristocratic etiquette, even though he was a disgrace to the nobility.
In fact, Earl Renn and Duanmu Ci also had a connection, which was related to the Tang family.
The Bordeaux winery that the Duanmu family acquired in France last year was actually an estate sold by the Earl of Rennes. The Duanmu family was not actually in a strong position in terms of bidding. The reason why the Duanmu family was able to defeat the Tang family is because the Duanmu family is also an American wealthy family with a long history, while the Tang family has not even washed the mud off their own trouser legs.
This isn't about being arrogant.
A winery is a symbol of nobility. A nobleman of taste would rather sell his castle than his winery. Although Count Rennes was forced to do so under duress, he still wanted to preserve a noble's dignity. So he gave the winery to the Duanmu family, who were of equally high status, instead of the Tang family, who offered a higher price.
He really is a nobleman with sentiments.
Duanmu Ci glanced down at his watch; it was almost time.
Tang Rui and his son had guests who came from afar to celebrate their birthdays, so why didn't he?
