Chapter 90 Jealousy.
These sour words were spoken quietly and obscurely. Lu Xia did not hear them, nor did she pay attention to these heirs of the Rafaeld family.
The purpose of her visit today was just to bring Smellian to visit Mrs. Rafaeld. As for the others, they were not the main targets.
Lu Xia smiled and asked Smellian to present the gift she brought for the visit: "I should have brought Smellian back earlier. I have been too busy recently. I hope you don't mind."
"Your Excellency the Duke, you are joking. It has been a great honor for us that you can take the time to come to our Rafaeld family. Please come in. The food is ready. Let's eat and chat. These are Smellian's brothers and sisters. If they are free, ask them to come back and see you and Smellian. I hope you don't mind."
"No, it will be more lively with more people." Lu Xia glanced at the crowd and found that the Rafaeld family is indeed a family known for its beauty. The family members are very good-looking.
Feeling Lu Xia's gaze, several single males in the crowd straightened their chests unconsciously, especially thinking that if Duke Lu Xia could like Smellian, he would also like them, after all, they were not bad looking.
However, Lu Xia did not even look at them, his eyes swept past them, and he followed Mrs. Rafael to the restaurant.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, he knew that Mrs. Rafael had really put in a lot of effort for today.
"I heard that Smellian is now the head of the hospital department, and I haven't had time to thank you yet." Mrs. Rafael said this on the surface, but she couldn't help thinking in her heart, when will Lu Xia use this care for their family instead of Smellian?
"It's all Smellian's own ability, it has nothing to do with me, please don't thank me." Lu Xia really didn't think that he helped Smellian in this matter. If he didn't really have that ability, the dean wouldn't look at her face and promote Smellian. Isn't that contempt for life!
When Lu Xia talked about this with Mrs. Rafael, Smelian sat quietly beside Lu Xia, and from time to time, he put one or two dishes that she might like on her plate.
They kept quiet the whole time.
Halfway through the meal, Lu Xia and Mrs. Rafael finally talked about transportation. Seeing them talking about business, the others at the table couldn't sit still: "Mother, Smelian hasn't been back for a long time. Can we chat with him?"
The male who looked a little older than Smelian spoke up, and the others agreed.
Mrs. Rafael didn't answer directly, but looked at Lu Xia.
Lu Xia tilted his head to look at Smelian: "Do you want to go?"
Smelian knew that if he said no, Lu Xia would refuse for him, but he didn't want Lu Xia to worry about this matter, so he nodded: "You guys talk about business, we won't bother you."
Seeing that he looked normal, Lu Xia didn't think much about it, just thinking that they were brothers and if they really had something to talk about, she let Smelian leave.
Mrs. Raffield smiled and said, "Don't worry, the relationship between the brothers is still good."
Mrs. Raffield thought that the brotherhood was good. Soon after Smelian followed them out, he was taken to the backyard.
Smelian looked at Chesterton, his eldest brother, who was also a male gene fusion of the Raffield family. Mrs. Raffield had always wanted to "sell" him for a good price, so she had not found a female owner yet.
Following him was his younger brother, Chenuo, who was not yet an adult, but had failed in gene fusion twice.
He was currently a "defective product" like him, but he still had a chance before he became an adult. At this time, he followed Chesterton timidly, with a look of trepidation, as if he wanted to persuade Chesterton not to do this, but he didn't dare. He
looked embarrassed, but actually did nothing.
He was always like this, and Smellian had long been accustomed to it, so he ignored him and just looked at Chesterton: "What do you want to tell me?"
"Look at your smug face now, you think you are proud to find a female master like Duke Luxia, and specially asked her to bring you back to show off. I don't know how you knelt down and begged." Chesterton's opening was full of sarcasm, but under this sarcasm, he couldn't cover up the strong jealousy.
Smellian was a "defective product" waste, why could he be valued so much by Duke Luxia? What he wanted to see was that Smellian was unhappy in Duke Luxia's mansion, not to see him happy.
As a gene fusionist, he has not enjoyed the treatment he has not enjoyed yet. Why should a loser like Smellian enjoy it first!
In his opinion, this is very, very unfair.
Smellian has been in contact with Chesterton for a long time. As a brother, he is used to putting on a show. In front of their mother, he always looks caring for the elders and loving his younger brother, but in private he is extremely jealous.
"I want to say that the Duke volunteered to take me home to visit my mother. Are you jealous to death?" Smellian's expression did not change, but his words were cold and sharp, piercing straight into Chesterton's heart, making his lungs hurt.
"What did you say? Do you think you dare to talk to me like this because Duke Lu Xia is backing you up? Smelian, you are so brave. I want to see if His Excellency the Duke will punish you if he knows that you disobeyed your brother. I heard that powerful female masters like them value family harmony and respect for the elders the most. Do you think she will send you to Xiongde College for further studies?" Chesterton looked like a mean person. He stared at Smelian, trying to see panic on his calm face, but there was nothing.
Smelian's golden eyes were as cold as metal: "Your jealous face is really ugly."
This short sentence made Chesterton's face darken. He has never been an emotionally stable person. This sentence is enough to make him lose his composure.
Sure enough, the next second Chesterton reached out and grabbed Smelian's neck. As a gene fusion, his physique had evolved as early as when the gene fusion was successful.
The strength was definitely not something Smelian could contend with. His action frightened Chesterton, who was standing timidly beside him.
"Big, big brother, what are you doing? Let the second brother go. If mother sees you like this, she will punish you. The second brother has a female master now, you can't do this!"
"Shut up, idiot, I'm going to let him know how to talk to me today!" Chesterton's eyes were red, and he was ready to teach Smelian a lesson.
However, just as he was about to take action, a voice suddenly came from behind: "How do you want my people to talk to you?"
Smelian put the scalpel that he had already grasped in his hand back into his sleeve, because his savior had come.
