Chapter 682 The Underwoods

"Marvel's Princess Becomes King ()"

Bella's face showed an expression of being frightened by the bricks flying from the window at the right time. She covered her mouth, frowned tightly, her eyes were gray, as if she couldn't look back on the past, and Natasha secretly pinched her again. For a moment, it means to remind her that this expression is a bit like a girl who has lost her footing or an alcoholic girl, but it doesn't look like she is threatened by bricks.

Bella also felt that there was a problem, her brows gradually stretched, and the silence in her eyes was replaced by fright, which was regarded as a recovery of her emotions.

The acting is indeed a bit flamboyant, but that's okay, this is not Hollywood, as long as you express that meaning.

Big Ivan can frighten her, and Thor's Hammer can make her run away in an embarrassing manner, but bricks? forget it! This family can't be afraid of that thing.

Claire Underwood asked in a homely tone: "Who could that be? Is it the demonstrators over there in California?"

There is already a bit of confrontation in these words. In the final analysis, they still look down on the West Coast people, but it is very vague.

Samantha also heard it, and she pushed back hard: "I can't call it a protester now, everything is unknown. After all, our husband and wife have been in the judicial circle of California for many years, and we will always incur several retaliations. We're used to it too."

Her words showed that she had seen strong winds and waves, and she also implied that the Underwoods had no real work experience, and had spent their entire lives wandering around the slap-sized place in Washington.

Claire Underwood immediately spoke compliments, talked about a few interesting things among the congressmen's wives, and said a lot of beautiful things to Bella, even Natasha who pretended to be introverted. The atmosphere of the conversation can be said is very good.

The Underwoods have never had children. The husband is a member of the House of Representatives and a party whip to restrain discipline within the party. The wife runs a charity project. According to the outside world, both of them are very busy, so they don’t know it internally.

The couple thanked the Charlie family for their hospitality, not flattering, but the couple's attitude was relatively low.

Eating at home is much more comfortable than a charity dinner, at least everyone can eat.

The meal was enjoyed by the guests and the host. Francis Underwood was recognized by the popular presidential candidate, and Bella also gave it to his wife, Mrs. Claire Underwood, who was in charge of the public welfare project "Water Purification Project". Donated $50,000.

Everyone seems to be satisfied.

"That woman seems to be scolding us in her heart." Natasha asked Bella in a low voice when they were leaving the Underwoods and cleaning up the dishes.

"Be confident, get rid of the appearance, that woman is scolding us in her heart." Bella said carelessly.

She has little guilt for reading the minds of politicians.

Natasha suddenly realized: "The old woman must have taken your money without praising you, so you... have a grudge? Do you want me to tear her throat?"

Bella rolled her eyes: "I'm not so careful, am I?"

Natasha didn't say anything, just smiled "Haha", which means you are just being careful!

The two soon said goodbye to Charlie, who had their own house in Washington.

"Charlie seems to care about Underwood's attitude," Natasha said while waiting at the traffic lights on the road.

Bella sat in the co-pilot seat and nodded: "Yeah, Underwood is a heavyweight in the Democratic Party, and his support is really important at this stage."

"So what should we do if we don't understand the operation of politics?"

"So I have to let him hurry up and join Charlie."

"What if he doesn't agree?"

Bella smiled confidently: "Trust me, he will agree."

Natasha suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "What happened to the guy who threw the bricks?"

Bella thought about it seriously, and this fact was not worth her time to remember: "I remember... it seems to be in the Potomac River, right?"

She points to the Potomac River that separates Washington, D.C., and Virginia to the north,

As if that person had some relatives in the river.

Natasha made a surprised expression, but she was not surprised at all: "What did those people under you do? It's so rude!"

"I remember being an unrepentant addict, not a good thing. This guy chased all the way from California to Washington just to throw this brick? There must be follow-up revenge, although we are not afraid, but suddenly appeared It’s also disgusting, and if we solve it as soon as possible, it will be a contribution to society.”

"You wouldn't use such a rude method with Congressman Underwood, would you?"

"Of course not, I'm talking about the rules of the game."

"What if he doesn't want to tell you the rules of the game?"

"Then I'll show him the nuclear bomb I've worked so hard to collect. He's worked in the Capitol for 20 years. I bet he's never seen a nuclear bomb."

......

Francis Underwood has never seen a nuclear bomb. He is a veteran congressman and a typical politician. He spends most of his life on various games in Congress.

He understands all the rules of operation here. Charlie's staff hoped that Charlie's pulling Francis Underwood into his camp was a wise decision, because the third-ranked whip in the Democratic Party has also participated in Choose intention.

"Hillbilly!"

"Lucky!"

Francis Underwood does not have a daughter with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he will not live in an unknown town for 16 years. He works hard and has lofty aspirations. He will not accept those who should not be accepted. Money, not much savings, he was a congressman for twenty years, and now he lives in a townhouse.

This housing condition is definitely not bad in Washington, but compared with Charlie's single-family villa, this townhouse that shares walls with its neighbors and is even required by the property to use the same exterior door lock as the neighbors is really too rudimentary.

His wife was very calm and short-handed. She looked at Bella's check repeatedly and looked very satisfied.

"It's really rich, have you seen that lady's eyes? That's a kind of..." Claire Underwood thoughtfully said, "That's a kind of charity that I obviously want to give to you, but I want to do it for you. Take care of your self-esteem, so hide your true thoughts in the eyes."

Claire Underwood took off her high heels, sat on the sofa, and picked up a cigarette.

"What are you going to do? Confrontation or cooperation?" She lit a cigarette, crossed her legs, and asked her husband in a low voice.

"Right is like real estate. Location is everything. The closer you are to the center of rights, the more valuable the property is." Francis Underwood did not answer his wife's question directly.

His hands supported the table, as if he was very firm, but the twinkle in his eyes showed that he was actually a little hesitant.
