Chapter 888
888 An apology
Lady Caitlyn and Helena were simply too enthusiastic!
The two of them had lunch with Xia Pingan in the villa, then had afternoon tea with him. In the afternoon, they chatted and finally had dinner together. It was only when the sky turned dark that Xia Pingan had to leave Mrs. Caitlin’s Villa on Odin Street. She got into Dragon Five’s carriage and returned to 169 Lakeside Street.
Of course, there were also benefits to this kind of interaction. At least, to Mrs. Caitlyn and Helena, the two of them had already regarded Xia Pingan as a ” trustworthy ” friend.
Mrs. Caitlyn and Xia Pingan’s relationship was closer. Xia Pingan could even feel that Mrs. Caitlyn’s feelings for him had become very subtle. This subtle feeling could be seen from the way Mrs. Caitlyn looked at him. It was hard to describe this feeling clearly. It was like a very good friend, but also like a sister and brother. There was also a woman’s gratitude, reliance, and trust towards a man intertwined together. There was also a bit of ambiguous affection between a man and a woman.
From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Caitlin had never mentioned anything about the remuneration. Xia Pingan also seemed to have forgotten about it and deliberately did not mention it. However, Xia Pingan knew that the more she did not mention it, the more it showed that this woman would take it very seriously.
As for Helena, Xia Pingan could clearly feel that this woman seemed to have discovered his value, especially the effect of his detoxification technique on women. This woman was very attentive to him and was deliberately trying to get close to him.
Xia ping ‘an also gained a lot from chatting with these two women. These two women might not be Summoners and knew nothing about spells, but they knew every aspect of corand like the back of their hands. They also had a lot of connections with the upper echelons.
Not to mention anything else, Xia Pingan felt that his path as a clairvoyant had already opened up just by chatting with these two women.
Before Xia ping ‘an got on the carriage, Helena had even confirmed with him the time to meet up with him in two days’ time. She wanted Xia ping ‘an to perform a poison-dispelling spell on her.
When Xia ping ‘an mentioned the problem of insufficient divine power, this woman smiled calmly and said to Xia ping’ an, ” as for divine power, you don’t have to worry. Although it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain divine crystals, they are not too scarce for me. Other than divine power, you can think about performing a ceremony for the detoxification technique. What other rewards do you want? ”
“As a Summoner, I naturally need realm pearls the most!” Xia Pingan said half-jokingly, half-seriously, ” the reward for performing the detoxification technique ceremony is one realm Pearl. This price is not too much, right? ”
it’s not too much. It’s very reasonable. Actually, you can ask for more! Helena smiled at Xia Pingan and said, ” because to a woman, compared to those cold and meaningless beads, beauty and health are the eternal pursuit of life!
……
Mrs. Caitlyn and Helena sent Xia Pingan out of the villa and personally watched as he got into the carriage and left the villa.
“Kelly, you’ve dug up a treasure!” Helena watched as Xia ping ‘an’s carriage disappeared around the corner of the gate. She turned around and looked at Caitlin, who was watching Xia ping’ an leave with a reluctant expression. I have an idea that you should be able to guess! she said.
Mrs. Caitlyn looked away and shook her head lazily. after what happened yesterday, I realized that many things I pursued and cared about in the past were meaningless. Wealth and power are sometimes just burdens and can’t give you an extra sense of security in times of danger. I just realized that what I need is actually very simple. I’ve been neglecting it all this time!
Kelly, you’re in a very dangerous state right now. Just now, during dinner, you were staring at him with love in your eyes. You were like a happy little woman who was immersed in her family life and watching her husband come home for dinner. Didn’t you despise women like this the most in the past? ”
Lady Caitlyn’s face turned slightly red. She smiled bitterly and murmured, ” maybe I’ve really changed. After experiencing life and death, people will always change. I feel that I’m not good enough for him. I’m afraid that if I’m too enthusiastic, I’ll scare him away and make him think that I’m a shallow and vulgar woman. Do you think that the incident with the skinning butcher georgog will make him think that I’ve brought him danger and bad luck? ”
Lady Caitlyn began to feel sad.
Kelly, you’re just like a little girl who has just grown up and experienced love for the first time. Where are your wisdom and methods? this is not the Kelly I know!
Helena gently put her arm around Mrs. Caitlyn’s waist and leaned in close to her face. With a serious look in her eyes, she said, ” he’s a Summoner, a Summoner with a bright future and a lot of dreams for his professional career. If you really love this man, you can’t be as worried as a little girl. Is your age your advantage? is it your youth? of course not. The most direct way for women like us to capture a man’s heart is to … It’s to make him need you to trust and rely on you. You have to make yourself an indispensable person in his life, understand? There are young and beautiful women everywhere, do you think he would lack women like that? however, there is only one rich, beautiful and shrewd widow in kland, and that is you, Kelly! If you can make him lucky to be with you, if you can make him successful, do you think he will still care about the rumors of the Black Widow?”
“I, Yingying, understand what you mean!” Calmness returned to lady Caitlyn’s face. then what do you want? ”
you know what I want. Everything I’ve done is to make the Condra family continue to prosper and to root deeper! A bitter smile appeared on Helena’s face as she said, ” in fact, I’m quite envious of you sometimes. At least you can live for yourself, while I’m already tied to the Condra family.
……
The streetlights on Koland Street had already lit up!
In the carriage, Xia Pingan suddenly saw a lottery shop on the side of the road still selling lottery tickets. Some workers and ordinary citizens who had just gotten off work were still queuing in front of the lottery shop, dreaming of getting rich.
Thinking of what Mr. Coin had said today, Xia Pingan’s heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to see if he was really lucky. He knocked on the front window of the carriage and said, ” Dragon five, stop by the lottery shop on the side of the road. Can you buy me a lottery ticket? any one will do!
“Alright!” Dragon five stopped the carriage by the side of the road and got out of the carriage. He quickly walked to the gambling shop and joined the queue.
If Dragon five could win a lottery ticket for him, he would be extremely lucky!
Fate energy was also a resource that could be used. If he could confirm this, Xia Pingan felt that he could be more radical in the future.
A few minutes later, Dragon five arrived. He bought a lottery ticket for 10 Fanny’s.
Xia Pingan glanced at the number on the ticket and put it into her pocket.
……
More than an hour later, Xia Pingan finally arrived at the entrance of 169 Binhu Street.
A magnificent black carriage was already parked in front of the villa. Four black horses were pulling the carriage.
Beside the carriage, under the streetlight, a man wearing a velvet top hat and holding a cane stood under the streetlight. In the dark night, a group of mosquitoes flew under the streetlight, chasing the light and warmth in the dark.
The man stood under the streetlight, looking a little ill at ease as if he was being punished. He also looked a little scared and uneasy, his eyes looking around like a rabbit.
Dragon Five’s carriage stopped right behind the black carriage. He opened the door and Xia Pingan got out. He was already standing in front of the man.
brother flan petrucklek, long time no see, Yingluo. looking at the face that she had met once before, Xia Pingan smiled.
This man was none other than the one who had a dispute with Xia Pingan earlier, brother Peter Lake.
Franco petlake was just a Playboy. When he saw Xia ping ‘an again, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva. He was so nervous that he couldn’t speak. He looked at Xia ping’ an and then at the carriage next to him.
The carriage door opened, and a man who was also wearing a velvet top hat but had a completely different temperament from brother Petrek got out of the carriage. If brother Petrek’s current aura reminded Xia ping ‘an of a drowning dog, then this arrogant man with deep-set eyes and tightly pursed lips made Xia ping’ an think of a wild wolf that could hunt yaks.
“Mr. Xia, I’m Quinn. We’re here today to apologize to you on behalf of the Ernst family!”
