Chapter 998 There is a Tiger Above My Head
About an hour later, the two came out one after the other.
All the unpleasantness disappeared temporarily. After all, we had been talking for so long, and even if there were any barriers, they should be talked out.
"Lei Zhen? Mom?"
Catherine's voice rang out, and she looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Catherine, why are you here?" Mrs. Winnie looked a little panicked.
But Lei Zhen was quite calm. After all, he was experienced, so he was particularly able to keep his composure.
"I'm looking for you, you..."
"Let's discuss something." Lei Zhen said, "It's mainly about you."
"Ah, yes, it's mainly about you... My child, can you go back first?" said Mrs. Winnie.
But the doubt in Catherine's eyes became even stronger. She saw her mother and Lei Zhen walking out of the lounge with her own eyes.
As an adult, no matter how innocent you are, it is impossible not to think about it because it is too abnormal.
"What on earth are you talking about me?" Catherine asked.
"Let's talk about this later..."
Mrs. Winnie hesitated, after all, she was bumped into by her daughter.
"What are you talking about?"
Her mother's panic made Catherine suddenly sensitive, and even her face turned ugly, but she was unwilling to think of the worst.
At this moment, Mrs. Winnie was very confused and didn't know how to explain.
"It's about the betrothal gift." Lei Zhen spread his hands and said, "Mrs. Winnie discussed the betrothal gift with me, but it's hard for her to accept. She asked for 10 billion."
"Ten billion?"
"Mom, are you crazy?"
"Even if Lei Zhen is rich, you can't do this. Besides, our family is not short of money. Don't you want honor?"
The Red Castle family attaches great importance to honor, especially for these young masters and young ladies. Talking about money seems to be something that is extremely detrimental to honor.
So after hearing this, Catherine reacted strongly.
"Catherine, Lei Zhen has no status, so he must prove his strength." Madam Winnie said seriously, "Talking about money may be vulgar, but sometimes it is necessary. I have to ensure that you can live a happy life in the future."
"Mom, you're not doing this right."
"Then what should we do? The daughter of the Red Castle family must never marry an unknown man..."
The protected girl was innocent. As soon as the topic was brought up, Catherine believed it without a doubt.
In the end, the mother and daughter parted ways unhappily.
Catherine hugged Lei Zhen's arm and kept apologizing to him.
"Lei Zhen, I'm sorry. I didn't know Mom would be like this... You have to believe me, this was definitely not my intention. Our family would never do this."
His eyes were filled with anxiety, fearing that Lei Zhen would be unhappy.
"Actually, I think your mother has considered it. I must at least be able to support you. So 10 billion is not a lot, and I am willing to do it."
"But saying this openly makes me feel insulted. Is this what you nobles are like?"
"If it has to be this way, maybe you and I should break up..."
What is experience?
Experience means going through a lot, being familiar with the process, and being able to handle things with ease.
This is the role of a skilled worker, who can provide a nearly perfect explanation no matter the circumstances.
"Lei Zhen, I'm sorry. We went too far. Please don't be angry..."
"I'm already angry because I never came here to curry favor with your Red Castle family! Well, I need to rest now. Can you take me there to rest for a while?"
"Oh, okay!"
“…”
Letting the other party misunderstand and hurt your dignity is itself a way of retreating to advance, which often has unexpected results.
Of course, this method is extremely difficult to implement. After all, few people care about the dignity of others, and they may even enjoy trampling on their dignity.
Therefore, this method is often used between young lovers, turning passivity into initiative: You hurt me, so you shouldn't just laugh it off...
The Duke of Pace was still drinking and was very happy.
For him, Lei Zhen's visit confirmed the relationship between the two and added considerable leverage to his fight against the vampires.
Even though this good son-in-law left the game at halftime, he still received his care.
As for what he went to and what he did after leaving, it is unknown.
…
Mrs. Winnie returned to her room with a heavy heart. She had miscalculated.
I originally wanted to make good use of Lei Zhen, but I found that he was not someone who could be used casually, even if I gave him everything.
"So insidious, so rogue, so cunning!"
This was Mrs. Winnie's evaluation, and she was certain that Lei Zhen's success was no accident. No wonder her husband wanted to form an alliance with the other party.
But these are all later stories. At this moment, the arrow is on the string and she has to shoot it.
Whether she stands on her husband's side or on the side of the vampires, her fate will probably not be good.
Too bad there's no other choice...
No, there is a third option, which is to follow Lei Zhen.
There is a jackal in front, a wolf behind, and a tiger above her head. This makes Mrs. Winnie very anxious and she doesn't know what to choose.
In her opinion, Lei Zhen was like a tiger that would eat people without blinking an eye.
After struggling for a while, she called her eldest daughter, Princess Katie.
"Katie, what kind of person is Lei Zhen? He gives me a sinister and cunning feeling. I'm afraid Catherine will be bullied..."
Katie almost laughed when she received the call from her mother.
But she also expressed her understanding. After all, in the eyes of many people, Lei Zhen was indeed insidious, cunning, and extremely vicious, but she knew the details.
"Dear mother, don't worry."
"No one gets to where he is now easily, so he has to be cunning and ruthless, otherwise he would have died long ago."
"He only treats his own people well, I can assure you..."
After receiving confirmation from her eldest daughter, Mrs. Winnie finally breathed a sigh of relief and knew what to choose.
Since there is a jackal in front and a wolf behind, of course you have to choose the tiger.
I just hope that with the addition of Katie and Katherine, I can secure the future.
She picked up her phone and dialed the number Lei Zhen gave her.
"Meteorite Environmental Protection Company is dedicated to serving you..."
"Environmental protection company?"
Winnie's eyes were full of surprise. She had never come across a similar company, so she felt incredible when she heard the name.
"Dear customer, what can you do for us? Feel free to tell us. Since you know the number, we probably know what you are looking for."
"Meteorite Environmental Protection will clear all obstacles for you, including anything that you feel is an eyesore..."
This is much clearer.
Meteorite Environmental Protection is a company that helps people protect the environment. It can remove both people and things.
"I want to kill two people..."
God knows how Mrs. Winnie opened her mouth, but once she opened her mouth, it meant she was going deep into this path.
But the situation is so urgent that a choice must be made.
For myself, and for my son and daughter.
So after she hung up the phone, she felt relieved.
Her son is in Lei Zhen's hands, her daughter is in Lei Zhen's hands, and she herself is in his hands. There is really no reason to hesitate.
So after confirming it, I felt relieved and I felt like I had gotten better.
