Chapter 77

That night, the Helis family.

Since Miss Lacey of the Carites family is about to visit tonight, the Helis family has made all kinds of preparations. Logically speaking, they should have come to apologize, but Miss Lacey said it was unnecessary and she would visit in person tonight.

The gate of the courtyard was open and the clean and soft carpet had been laid long ago. Because he heard that Loran Hill liked tranquility, the Helis family did not invite other guests, only their own servants and guards lined up neatly in the courtyard.

The door of the carriage with lacquered night flowers opened, and Lolan Hill rarely wore a black dress. The pure black skirt formed a sharp contrast with her fair skin. The black lace skirt and cuffs also added a strange charm to her. She walked off the carriage, and even her shoes were small black leather shoes, and above the shoes were pure white silk stockings.

"Miss Lacey is here in the Carites Chamber of Commerce"

As the servants at the door shouted, some melodious music sounded on both sides of the courtyard. About 20 violinists stood on both sides of the carpet, playing the strings, and the soothing violin sounded, like a butterfly flying among the leaves.

Lorran Hill's blue pupils swept over. The prostitutes were dressed gorgeously, skillfully, and had different faces. They should have been invited by the Helis family temporarily. They were really interested.

He sighed slightly in his heart. The door of the Helis mansion opened, revealing the brilliantly lit hall. The head of the family, Hoss and the eldest daughter of Mei Lu, stood at the door to greet him.

"We have been waiting for a long time when we welcome Miss Lacey."

The bald head of the family, Hoss, led Loran Hill into the hall, first led him to sit down, then clapped his palms, and the girls in dance skirts entered through the side door. They wore red skirts and blue skirts, and held long skirts. Every step they took, they turned the skirt. The silver patch on the skirt was shining under the light, and then another music sounded. This time, not only the 20 violinists outside the courtyard sat down to play, but there was also a pianist and a dozen blowing musicians in the hall.

As the music beats, these dancers sometimes tiptoe, sometimes turn their skirts, forming a huge concentric circle on the dance floor in the hall, and then as the music changes, a huge flower forms, among which the blue and red petals sometimes bloom and sometimes close. Finally, with the curtain call of the music, the outermost dancer lies on his knees, with his body tilted in the middle, and his inner circle raises his arms like a stamen.

Lorran Hill sat on the sofa on the steps, and in front was a coffee table with some fruit and iced juice on it.

It was indeed a relatively excellent dance, and I admired it a little, but that was all. For her, who had seen various light and shadow special effects in the technological era and had a large-scale singing and dancing party of hundreds of people, this was really not surprising. But she would give the Helis family a face, and she gave a little approval.

Hoss, the head of the Helis family, seemed very happy, thinking that the performance he had paid for had achieved results, while Lorran Hill did not show it out of reserve.

When Mei Lu saw her father's expression, she shook her head secretly. When she first met, she only thought that her appearance was unparalleled in the world. Later, Lace decided to wake her up with new joint projects with other chambers of commerce, and the subsequent assassination made her a little afraid of this beautiful lady.

I really don’t know how Miss Lace grew up. I have never heard of her reputation, but she is extremely skilled in business techniques. From the recent series of performances of Carites, there is even a vague trend of surpassing Angus’s reign. Not only does it not decline when it reaches its peak, but it is in a precipitation.

But doing business is very experienced. I have never heard of any academic school that can achieve great success. It depends more on talent and insight. This is also something that makes Mei Lu puzzled. Besides, Lacey is definitely not weak, and she feels that there is at least Sequence 4? She guessed.

In my heart, I kept thinking about how to face this Miss Lacey. Meilu saw her father's silly appearance of self-feeling, and her head began to ache.

Hoss is indeed a good father and a good parent, but as the head of the family, he is a little shrewd enough. In the past, when the head of his hometown was in power, he could often mention it. Later, after his grandfather passed away, his eldest daughter Mei Lu took on the role of a think tank at home.

But the daughter is her daughter after all, and she can do only a limited amount of her ability. The rights in the chamber of commerce have gradually been dispersed by several other uncles, showing a big trend.

"Niece Lacey, your father and I were very close to each other back then. We often drank together. This time, we were uncles and I didn't manage the guards at home well. I hope you don't mind."

My father actually wanted to expose it so simply and easily. Mei Lu opened her eyes slightly and felt a little unbelievable. It was an assassination, and the other party was almost dead. Once it was not done well, the two families would start a new war.

"Although you had a good relationship with us, Karites, it was the affairs of the previous generation after all, and I was not very clear about it. Besides, the guards of the Helis family almost killed me, which led to the collapse of the entire chamber of commerce. Do you think this is enough to apologize?"

Sure enough, Lacey refused such an easy reconciliation because it was no different from an insult.

"This... Lacey's niece, no, Miss Lacey, then you want it..." Hoss couldn't figure it out. Didn't he smile and cheerful atmosphere just now? Why did it suddenly happen?

"My father, you are tired too, so let me do it." Mei Lu stood up and saluted slightly, then walked to her father's side and persuaded her softly.

Hoss was quite self-aware and knew that his daughter was smarter, so he simply let go and said that he was a little sleepy. Next, he asked Melu and Lace to talk.

As Hoth left, only Lacey and Melu were left in the huge hall. It began to rain outside the room outside the hall, and rain continued to drip from the eaves and hit the marble steps. The fine rain curtains covered the scenery outside the room, making it a little blurry. Occasionally, the sea breeze blew, the rain tilted, and some drifted into the hall, bringing some coolness.

Meilu fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, then filled Lacey's tea cup with hot tea, then sat down and started talking again.

"I'm very sorry Miss Lacey, my family neglected management that day and actually let the guards be bribed by outsiders."

"I know." Lacey held the teacup and her hair fell on her pure black dress, and said unexpectedly.

"So, what I want to ask is, what is the Helis' position? Is it the same as in the past, standing with us, Karites, or is it that you want to be neutral and keep yourself safe? Or, you have decided to stand opposite us."

Lacey's blue and transparent pupils looked directly at Mei Lu, giving him no room for dodging.
