Chapter 140 The Fake Daughter of a Wealthy Family 6
Every year, Sidwell organizes students to choose a country for a short trip. The trip is not just a simple tour, but everyone has to submit a paper after returning.
The topic of the paper can be a discussion and analysis of any aspect of that country, ranging from economy, politics, and humanities to the living habits of ordinary residents.
The essay score will also be included in the total score. An outstanding essay may become a stepping stone for future university applications. Therefore, Sidwell students look forward to international travel every year.
According to news that came from somewhere, it is very likely that we will visit that mysterious ancient oriental country this year.
Some people are dismissive of this, but most are still looking forward to it. That country has a long history of thousands of years, and I heard that it has developed rapidly in recent years. It seems that there are many things to write about.
Unfortunately, this trip that was almost ready had to be postponed due to an accident, and we had no choice but to choose another country.
"Ligament strain?!"
Owen and Patrick, who were sorting through the files, looked up in shock and looked at Freyr, who looked unhappy:
"How did it happen? Is it serious?"
"I fell down because I was distracted while dancing. Luckily, my teacher and Madge were right beside me and took care of it in time. It's not serious, but I still need to rest for at least two to three weeks. It may take several months to fully recover."
Freyr rubbed his forehead and sat on the sofa. He was worried about the little guy's injury, but he couldn't help but feel angry at her for working so hard without caring about her health:
"God knows how long it has been since she had a good rest! With so many classes scheduled every day, it would be a miracle if she wasn't dazed!"
"You don't want to persuade him?"
"Why didn't you persuade her? But she has to listen to you, too!"
Freyr was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He couldn't lose his temper with the little girl, so he could only keep telling himself that she was already in pain, and she didn't want to do it. She must be in pain right now, and scolding her would be useless and would only make her sad...
Then he comforted her with kind words and warned Madge as soon as he left the house, saying that she could not be allowed to continue like this!
"But our great Mr. Rockefeller has made up his mind to dismiss several of her tutors. What she needs now is to take good care of her body, grow taller and fatter, instead of learning so many damn things every day!"
Patrick laughed:
"Frere, you look like a hen protecting her chicks!"
He is so long-winded, nagging and complaining all the time. Where is his usual serious and cool look?
Freyr kicked over:
"If you had a disobedient sister, you would be like this too!"
Owen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the injury was not serious. He watched them fighting and couldn't help but laugh:
"If Michaela doesn't listen, then there will be no other obedient children."
He is self-disciplined, motivated, thoughtful, and hardworking. He has good looks, intelligence, and willpower. He is even an outstanding person. No matter where he is placed, he will be the kind of person who will be pampered and protected.
"I've heard several adults rave about her."
Among them was his father, Benjamin Rothschild.
Owen lowered his eyelids. What he didn't say was that his father intended for his younger brother Raymond to be closer to the little girl. After all, everyone could see that Albert loved this little daughter very much.
"Alright, alright, I give in! My analogy was inappropriate!"
Patrick was hit on the knee again and surrendered quickly:
"But why haven't you had a party yet? Someone whispered something in my ear."
People in country M love to throw parties. They will throw a party whether they are happy or not. Sometimes they may just want to eat barbecue and then throw a party.
For a family like the Rockefellers, when they have just brought a child home, if they value the child enough, holding a party to formally introduce the child is almost a necessary procedure.
Who would have thought that it had been almost two months since he returned, and he had not received an invitation, so some people couldn't help but think too much.
Freyr sighed:
"Dad mentioned it several times, but Michaela refused. I guess she felt uneasy at first and was afraid of making mistakes. But even after she learned all the etiquette, she still didn't want to. It's really hard to guess what a little girl is thinking."
"Maybe..." Owen murmured, "She just thinks that throwing a party is a waste of time?"
Freyr was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help laughing. You know what, this is really possible.
"I just strained my leg and can't do anything. After I recover for half a month and it doesn't affect my walking anymore, I'll have the party!"
"What about traveling?"
Owen stood up and prepared to go back to the classroom: "Let's postpone it. The holidays are coming soon. It's the same if we postpone it to next year."
It is almost December, and this month has the most important holiday of the year for Country M - Christmas, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. Most middle schools will start their winter vacation two weeks before Christmas and end in early January.
The Rockefeller family's welcome party for their youngest daughter was finally held at this time.
The guests included not only high-ranking government officials such as a certain palace, but also presidents and executives of famous chaebols, groups, and companies, owners of famous manors, ranches, golf courses, and polo fields, as well as particularly famous lawyers and scientists, and even many seemingly unrelated Hollywood stars.
The event was like a small award ceremony.
Su Youran was wearing a pink princess dress, the hem of which spread out layer by layer like a cake. Her thick black hair was curled and half tied up and the other half let down, shining like a gem under the sunlight.
When she is still, she looks like a real-life Barbie doll; when she moves, she looks like a little angel with a halo on her head.
"It's just missing a pair of wings..."
Raymond stood beside Owen, looking at Su Youran with admiration. He was not studying at Sidwell, and this was the first time he had seen this legendary elf.
"If she were older, she should have played Lady Arwen!"
Arwen is an elven princess in the epic fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings". She has the blood of a semi-divine and the three royal families of the elves. Her bloodline is blessed by God. She later marries the human king Aragorn and becomes queen.
The Lord of the Rings was adapted into a movie and released in the United States last year, and the craze has not yet died down among young people.
Benjamin laughed loudly in front:
"Raymond, perhaps you could become friends with this elf and become Aragorn?"
Owen's eyes darkened:
"Michaela has a high IQ. She skipped to seventh grade and still managed to stay ahead in grades. If Raymond wants to be her friend, he has to study hard from now on."
His tone was light, as if he was joking, but it successfully made Raymond, who was eager to approach Su Youran, back off.
Studying or something... forget it! When Raymond thought about the homework that seemed impossible to complete, he subconsciously frowned:
"I'm going to play with Bruce!"
Benjamin glanced at his younger son who was running away in a hurry, then turned to look at Owen with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Owen lowered his eyes and his face was calm.
Benjamin chuckled and said nothing before moving on to look for Albert. Perhaps he could consider cooperating with the Rockefellers.
Owen didn't move, just stood there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you daydreaming?"
A soft voice suddenly sounded behind Owen. Owen was startled and slowly turned around. The little princess who was the focus of everyone's attention today was holding up her skirt and looking at him curiously.
Owen's figure was clearly reflected in those black and white eyes, making him inexplicably embarrassed, as if everything about him was exposed in these eyes.
"You...why are you here?
Shouldn't she be following Albert or Freyr to greet the guests, or playing with her peers?
Su Youran frowned slightly. Perhaps because she had known Owen for a longer time than him, her voice unconsciously took on a hint of coquettishness:
"My legs hurt a little..."
"Where does it hurt? Is it where you sprained it?" Owen couldn't help but get anxious: "Then why don't you find a place to sit down and let the doctor come and take a look!"
He held her shoulders and were about to walk into the house. Today's party was held on the lawn of the Rockefeller estate. Not far away was the swimming pool. Due to the low temperature, almost no one went into the water. Most people were holding small plates and sitting or standing and chatting with the people next to them. Not many noticed the movement here.
"It's okay, I just stood for too long, I just need to take a rest."
"Why are you still trying to be brave now? Don't you still want to dance? If you don't recover well and develop a chronic disease, let's see how you dance!"
Owen hugged her to him again and said, "Don't worry, come over here. I can still support you, even though you are so small. Just use less force on your feet."
Su Youran looked up at him, her dark eyes full of smiles:
"How come you are more like my big brother than Freyr?"
"Nonsense, I'm much more handsome than Freyr!"
The two looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
"You still say you don't rely on your looks? Now you admit it yourself!"
"Yes, yes, we got to the top because of our looks. When we're gone, you'll be the next leader."
He tilted his head and gazed at the elf beside him with a smile, the earring on his right ear sparkling in the sun:
"Because you are the most beautiful and the cutest."
Su Youran raised her chin slightly and accepted it all: “That’s right.”
If she wants to do something, she must do it to the best of her ability. As a student, of course she wants to be the best.
Her appearance is one of her strengths, so there is no need to be embarrassed or hide it.
Owen smiled silently and couldn't help rubbing her little head. She was such a narcissistic and confident little princess.
"We've postponed the trip to next semester, all for your sake, so you have to take good care of your legs. Once you're well, we can go to China together."
"Okay, wait for me."
However, even after several experts confirmed that Su Youran's leg had fully recovered, their planned trip to China still did not take place.
Because epidemics have occurred in some places in China and some Southeast Asian countries.
Su Youran quietly put away her phone. Last year, she tried various ways to remind more people to pay attention to hygiene and epidemic prevention, but to little avail. History has its own laws of progress, and it cannot be changed by just a few words from one person.
But it's not completely without effect. Compared with the scope in memory, this time it is obviously much smaller.
Moreover, the subsequent response measures were extremely quick, the source was controlled in time, and the number of people affected was greatly reduced. I think we will win the battle faster this time!
The author has something to say:
There are other measures. Since we have Rockefeller as our backer, we still have to use the materials and money. Hehe, see you tomorrow~
I hesitated for a long time whether to relate it to reality. In fact, it is better not to relate it, but after thinking about it, I decided to involve a little bit of reality, only a little bit (emphasis) (covering face). The background starts from 2002.
