Chapter Five Hundred and Seventieth: Back to School
"Is something wrong with Elizabeth and Duke Hornberg?" Li Zitao changed the subject, he had to think about this matter, and suddenly he had no idea.
"It's been a long time, haven't you noticed?" Mary looked at him in surprise.
"Uh...no." How long has it been? When they met in Luxembourg a few times, didn't they show affection?
According to that, should he praise the other party's acting skills?
"The Duke of Hornberg is notoriously stingy, and his mother was very dissatisfied with Elizabeth because of the child." Speaking of this matter, Mary's expression was ugly.
Obviously it was the Duke of Hornberg who was acting promiscuously outside and made Elizabeth unable to conceive, but he pushed the problem to her.
That mean old hag always tried to taunt Elizabeth in front of others, making her a laughing stock among the Spanish royal family and nobles.
Elizabeth complained to her mother several times, but the matter was a foregone conclusion, what could her mother do.
The family needed the support of the Duke of Hornberg, the father needed his support, the stability of Luxembourg and Spain needed him.
"After your vacation is over, I want to live in Spain for a while. Elizabeth is too lonely there." Mary wanted to go to Spain to accompany her sister, and let her meet her child by the way. I believe it would make her feel much better.
"Well, the gift list is in the safe, just tell Molly what you need." Li Zitao said to her.
The antique store is almost becoming a treasure trove for the two of them now. Every time they need a gift, they choose it directly from it, and put some gifts in return.
"Wait, Lison, bring the box delivered this morning, thank you." Mary mysteriously asked the maid to bring a square gift box.
"It's a gift for you, how do you like it?" Mary opened the box in front of him, and a watch with a gold frame, a brownish-yellow chassis, and an alligator leather strap came into view.
"Patek Philippe?" Li Zitao rolled up his cuffs, smiled and picked up the watch strap in his hand.
"Last year they launched a series with the concept of cross star. The newly launched Ref.96 is too small in size and looks too delicate, so I asked them to customize this Ref.1033, here."
Mary pointed to the side of the dial and raised her arm to look. There was a line of rice-grain-sized marks on the side: Ref.1033.
1033 is the serial number of this watch, which also means that he is the 1033rd customized customer.
"Where's yours?" Li Zitao looked at her wrist.
"In the bedroom, Aiden and Mason still need to be taken care of. They will not let go of any interesting toys." Mary shook her head helplessly.
Aiden Li is the English name of his elder brother Zhiyuan, and Mason Li is his younger brother Zhiheng. The two little guys have terrifyingly strong hands.
Ever since Aiden, that is, Zhiyuan, pulled off her ring gemstone necklace and almost stuffed it in her mouth, Mary refused to wear any accessories.
"Wait until they get older." Li Zitao laughed and shook his hands. He felt good, low-key and connotative. My buddies are also people who play watches.
I heard that people with wrist watches like to shake their hands, so in the future, will he have to shake them twice?
Time passed unknowingly, and the new issue of Time Magazine had also been released. Sitting in the office, Li Zitao opened it and watched the interview with Jiabao.
As for the identity of Jiabao's proprietress, the people below are well aware of it, so they are very gentle in asking questions.
But no matter how gentle you are, you can't escape a few points, such as the child's father.
"We don't want too much attention. What you want is not me, but Garbo on the screen...don't disturb my life."
Li Zitao was surprised by the somewhat gunpowder answer, but then she turned around and thought, isn't this just her character?
To be able to refuse any pursuit of fans, not to hold meetings, not to sign autographs for fans, not to participate in any publicity, indifferent to the evaluation of the outside world, and even not to accept interviews.
In the previous few interviews, the company used her name to "speak" for publicity, and then added a few stills.
That's right, there isn't even a dedicated promotional photo, but fans just pay.
"From now on, all the reports about Jiabao will be sent here." Li Zitao put the finished weekly magazine into the drawer, and planned to keep it.
A few days later, the heat of the incident has not yet subsided, but the students are about to start school.
Little Mary left by train, and at school she used an alias, so no one recognized her except that she was from a middle-class family.
Li Zitao changed to a BMW 309 and returned to school in a low-key manner, returning to his college life.
"Joy?" Looking at Joey standing at the door of the dormitory, Li Zitao opened his arms and said, "Miss me?"
"Do you want me to lose my job?" Joey asked coldly.
"Uh..." Li Zitao put down his hands in embarrassment, looked at the crowd around him and said, "It's just a friendly hug."
"My parents want to see you." Li Zitao was taken aback by what Joey said bluntly.
See parents, this...will be too soon.
Joy's parents knew about the relationship between the two, and they kept asking her during the vacation, and she finally admitted it.
Now, the problem is in Li Zitao's hands, and he can figure out what to do.
"Tomorrow night, let's go together after school." I must meet, he set the time for tomorrow, Mary will fly to Spain to meet Elizabeth tomorrow morning.
After finalizing the time, as soon as I got back to the dormitory, I heard Rocky crying, "Did you win the lottery?"
Li Zitao pushed the door open, looked at Rocky who was standing by the phone and kept waving his hands and shouting 'yes' and asked.
"Lottery? What's that?" Rocky was taken aback for a moment, and then excitedly said, "Forget about that, Charlie, congratulate me!"
"Congratulations?" Li Zitao asked while sitting on the bed.
"Of course I found my girlfriend, Fan Biang, the most beautiful girl in the third grade, oh... she is my muse." Rocky looked up at the ceiling, stretching out his hands and looking up.
"Congratulations." Li Zitao said with a smile.
But seeing how excited he was, I decided to give him a few words of advice. In love, the one who puts himself on the ground and lifts others to the sky will end up miserable in the end.
"Then what should I do?" Rocky looked at him stunned, his eyes full of longing, waiting for the guidance of the love master.
"It's good to behave normally, thank you for your concern, for example, whenever and wherever she needs to be by her side,
Some small romances, wait for her to finish class, send her back to the dormitory at night...you can make her a loving lunch. "
"Love Lunch?" Rocky clapped his hands after thinking about it; "This idea is great."
Seeing him so excited, Li Zitao didn't make him cold water. As far as he knew, Fan Biang had many boyfriends, but none of them could last for three days.
This news was heard from Amy En, because he was one of Fan Biang's ex-boyfriends.
"She behaves like a saint, you can only watch from a distance, and you can never get close." Thinking of the description of 'saint', Li Zitao mourned for Rocky, hoping that his love will go smoothly.
