Chapter 194: Mother-in-Law's Dismissal

"Is this a blow from the mother-in-law?" Li Zitao thought in his heart.

To make the atmosphere so tense, the best way to think is to show importance to his arrival.

But when I think about it again, this kind of solemnity is accompanied by an indifference that rejects people for thousands of miles.

He is Adelaide's fiancé, the future family, if he really admits his identity, why should he be so serious and cautious?

"Li, please take a seat!" The Grand Duke said from the main seat.

Li Zitao walked towards her left hand, Adelaide also wanted to follow, but stopped under the stern gaze of the Grand Duke.

"It's better for me to sit here." I thought Li Zitao would take the first position on the left, but unexpectedly he stopped directly at the third position from the left.

Rang, the eldest son of the grand duke, stood second, and the position chosen by Li Zitao was right under him.

"Mother, we shouldn't let the guests stand." Jean, who was the first, said modestly.

"Take a seat!" Li Zitao smiled the whole time, while the bodyguards at the door stood by the box.

"Charlie, what did you bring?" During the meal, little Mary cleverly opened the topic.

"Some worthless little presents." Li Zitao waved his hand casually, asking people to open all the boxes.

Shua~

Little Mary's eyes widened, only to feel countless golden beams shooting out from the box, penetrating the rock fortress, and straight into the sky.

The first box was full of golden square bricks, with Adelaide's name engraved on it, and it was actually a gold brick made for her.

The second box, boxes of jewelry, jewelry.

These are all top jewelry from various countries, worth tens of millions of dollars.

In the third box, there is a coral tree, but on the coral, gems and pearls of various colors are inlaid and matched.

This thing comes from West's collection. There are several coral trees in the antique shop, and this one is considered a medium item.

The fourth box is a bracket holding a crown.

This crown, also from West's collection, was one of many crowns lost during the 16th century when the royal family of Y suffered a wave of rebellion.

The fifth box was thinly placed on a bracket, and on the shelf was a document.

Among all the gifts, Li Zitao thought that this document was the most precious, because as long as he signed it, he could get 30% of the shares of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.

"This is your worthless little gift?" Little Mary blinked, feeling that her head was not enough.

"It's just common things, nothing compared to the glorious history of Luxembourg." Li Zitao said sincerely, but everyone could understand what he meant.

No matter how glorious the Nassau family was, the Luxembourg family is now in a state of decline.

If the situation cannot be changed, sooner or later it will become a declining royal family.

"Cough." The Grand Duke coughed lightly, and looked away in shock, but his face was not as rigid and serious as before.

"Mother, Charlie and I really love each other." Adelaide stood up excitedly.

Li Zitao has achieved this step. If she hasn't expressed it, then the status of this fiancee is too unqualified.

"Eat first." The Grand Duke gave her a sideways glance, and when he noticed the stubbornness between his daughter's brows, he sighed silently.

Of all her children, Adelaide was the most satisfying and the most beloved daughter.

The Grand Duke thought that she had arranged everything. As long as she married the earl, at the earl's age, she would be promoted to heaven in a short time.

At that time, she can bring a lot of wealth to the family, and she will be more prosperous than others. It doesn't matter if she gets married or has a few lovers.

In European upper class society, it is a tacit unspoken rule for men to have mistresses and women to have lovers.

But once it is put on the bright side and the spouse knows about such a thing, there must be an open and secret fight.

Unless one party's power is too great for the other party to dare to retaliate, they can only suppress this tone.

It just seems that Adelaide is not satisfied with all this, and she wants to choose marriage and happiness according to her own wishes.

"But is your choice necessarily correct?" I thought silently in my heart,

The Grand Duke has been watching Li Zitao during the meal.

On the contrary, Li Zitao acted very relaxed, chatting happily with his future uncle, Jean, and little Mary interjected a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

And the occasional eyebrow intercourse between him and Adelaide was so sweet that her brothers and sisters ate their stomachs full of dog food.

"Li, Mary, come to my study." The Grand Duke remained silent until after the meal, and led the two of them to the study alone.

"Charlie is so romantic." Looking at the box full of gold bricks, little Mary's eyes sparkled with the stars of money lovers.

"This one is the most valuable. Looking at its workmanship and pattern, I'm sure it came from the royal family of Y in the Middle Ages."

Already the eldest daughter of the duchess, Elizabeth pointed to the crown and said.

"This coral tree is so beautiful, I think my mother will put it in the study, so that it will always appear in her eyes." The 14-year-old Prince Charles laughed.

"Don't you all pay attention to that document?" Little Mary came back to her senses, touched a gold brick calmly, and hid it in her cuff.

"Little Mary, your sleeve is about to fall off." Elizabeth said helplessly.

"Sister, Alex wants it too." The youngest princess held her head up, looking at her sleeve longingly.

"Damn it, it's not fun at all." Little Mary threw the gold bricks back into the box angrily, and walked back with a disappointed face.

"My gold brick, obviously I met Charlie first, I need compensation, Sasha, you need to compensate me a third... no, half of the gold brick..."

In the study, the Grand Duke sat on a soft chair, silently looking at the two people in front of him.

"Very handsome. If it wasn't for his skin color, he would definitely be pursued by ladies. He started from nothing, and his methods are cruel, but he knows how to share and be humble.

I also have a clear understanding of my own definition and when to choose to back down..."

After Little Mary came back, the Grand Duke began to investigate Li Zitao's information.

If you look at his performance alone, he is better than most of the noble heirs, and no one can achieve more brilliant achievements than him at the age of 18.

Except, of course, for the lucky ones from earlier times.

But behind those lucky ones, there are deep-rooted families and a huge network of interests.

What does Li Zitao have, a Chinese labor pig who was sold to the United States.

It might be rude to say that, but it happened to him.

In just one year, with his own hard work and wisdom, he has transformed from a pig to the current business giant. "It's incredible."

"Mary, are you really determined to marry him?" the Grand Duke asked suddenly.

"Yes, mother, I fell in love with him, and we..."

"Don't lie to me with those lies, you've known each other for less than a month." The Grand Duke didn't want to hear that bloody love story.
