Chapter 750 This Couple Is Too Good

Chapter 750 This couple is too good

Two rows of spiral staircases extend all the way to the second floor. The stairs are covered with dark red Persian carpets, which are as magnificent as any palace building.

Li Qiao never asked where the real Marquis Lawrence was.

It wasn't until Xi Luo followed them up to the second floor that she realized the cause and effect.

The old Marquis has been dead for a long time and has no children.

Before the marquis died of illness, Bai Yan, through the operation of Yanmeng and Xi Luo, passed on the title of hereditary marquis to his nephew with a foreign surname, Shang Yu.

Speaking of which, apart from this manor, Marquis Lawrence has no extra property in his name, and even has a lot of foreign debts.

It is said that after the family fell, they could not even afford the annual maintenance fee of the manor. The status of Marquis just sounded noble, but now it is just an empty shell.

On the second floor, Li Qiao casually walked around each room a few times, except for the simplest furniture, there was basically nothing worth paying attention to.

At this time, the butler came over with a tray, on which was placed a delicate golden invitation, "Mister and Madam, this is an invitation letter from the Duke's Mansion, please have a look."

Li Qiao leaned on the window sill, staring at the butler's calm demeanor, "How long have you been working here?"

It was their first time at the Marquis Manor, but the elderly butler didn't seem surprised.

"Thirty years." The butler bent down and added, "I heard from the old lady before that if the husband and wife hadn't helped pay off the foreign debt, I'm afraid this manor would not be able to stay."

The ruined marquis family is not sensitive to the upper class.

If it weren't for the new Marquis this time, I am afraid that Lawrence would no longer have the status in the British imperial aristocratic system.

Li Qiao caught an important point, paying off the foreign debt?

She looked at Shang Yu who came out of the study, and before she could ask any questions, Xi Luo on the side murmured, "First-hand news, your Lord Yan repaid all the family's foreign debts in the name of Lawrence a month ago, and at the same time All mortgaged properties have been redeemed.”

Li Qiao glanced at Xi Luo casually, "My sister's circle of friends is so powerful."

"It's easy to talk about." Xi Luo patted her on the shoulder and shook her long hair.

The silly child probably doesn't know the root of her family's master Yan's real foothold in Yingdi.

This couple is so excellent, they are simply a pair of braves who attract wealth and treasure.

Fortunately, not the enemy.

...

On the other side, a luxury apartment in the center of the Port of London.

He Chen was leaning on the sofa in his nightgown, with his slender legs resting on the coffee table, and looked at the man opposite him frivolously, "Did you come here on purpose from Chalmer?"

Xiao Yeyan's cheeks that were as beautiful as a cartoon were a little casual, and his sitting posture was a bit deliberately arrogant, "I heard that you have been very close to Shang Shaoyan these days?"

"Who are you listening to?" He Chen turned his head to look at the door, his eyes fell on the slender figure, and he changed the topic, "This beauty is..."

Xiao Yeyan folded his long legs, looked at Yin Mo who was acting as a bodyguard, and smiled half-smile, "Do you interested, servant at home?"

He Chen licked his teeth, and his long and narrow eyes shot out playfully, "Are all your servants so good-looking?"

He bluntly praised Yin Mo's appearance, Xiao Yeyan narrowed his eyes when he heard the sound, his sharp eyes seemed to be thoughtful, "Why don't I send you off?"

Yin Mo stood at the door with his hands behind his back, and secretly clenched his fists in the face of their discussion.

He Chen looked back, smiled wildly, raised his brows lazily, his expression slightly restrained, "Let's talk about business first, you sent someone to follow me?"

Xiao Yeyan lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, and also covered the deep meaning in his eyes, "That's not true, it's just that someone saw you and Shang Shaoyan going to the Wilkes Winery together."

"So?" He Chen raised his eyebrows.

"It's nothing. So, you said before that you wanted to take over the entire Nanyang underground forces. Shang Shaoyan had an accident in Pama some time ago, and his loss was not small. This time he came to the British Emperor. Don't you take the opportunity to stay in Nanyang It's a little strange to seize the power, but to follow."

Xiao Yeyan and He Chen have known each other for a long time. Back in Nanyang, he often used his status as deputy secretary-general to facilitate He Chen's travel.

Now, He Chen's actions inevitably made him suspicious.

"The heart of a villain." He Chen tapped Xiao Yeyan from the air, and sarcastically mercilessly, "I don't understand the reason why you won't get a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's lair? He Shang Shaoyan's power is so easy to seize, do you think I am Will you wait so long?"

Xiao Yeyan smiled without changing his expression, "Really? I hope it's really a villain's heart."

From the corner of his eye, He Chen glanced at Yin Mo, who was flying a knife at him, touched his cheek, and retreated as a way to advance: "If you suspect that I am a double agent, you might as well just say so."

Xiao Yeyan's eyes dimmed, and he stared at his cheeks tightly, "Then you are?"

He Chen reached out his hand, his handsome face was filled with a profound sneer, "I am!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyan shook his head and laughed, "Which double agent would be so honest?"

He Chen lowered his eyes to cover the sarcasm in his eyes, then looked at Yin Mo, licked his lips, "I admit it, it's because he doesn't believe it, you have to testify to me."

Yin Mo didn't say a word, his arms were slightly tightened, restraining the urge to draw a knife.

Deng Tuzi, bastard.

Xiao Yeyan laughed lightly, his eyes flicked between the two of them, and he faintly noticed something unusual.

He stood up on his knees and wiped the wrinkles on his trousers, "It's your first time to come to Yingdi, why don't you let Captain Yin accompany you for a stroll, and you can go to Chailman City with her later, and let me do it as much as possible." By the grace of the Lord."

Seeing Yin Mo's obvious reluctance, He Chen narrowed his eyes and waved his hand at Xiao Yeyan, "Hurry up and leave, don't delay my date with the beauty."

Xiao Yeyan thought he knew He Chen well, so this time he deliberately brought Yin Mo here to "follow him".

Sure enough, the fish took the bait.

Xiao Yeyan picked up the woolen coat casually, walked to the door of the apartment, squinted at Yin Mo who was hesitant to speak, and warned in a low voice: "Keep an eye on him."

Obviously, he didn't have any doubts about He Chen.

After Xiao Yeyan left, Yin Mochu was in a dilemma at the door.

She looked at He Chen vigilantly, without saying a word.

In the huge living room, only the sound of He Chen blowing out smoke could be heard occasionally, Yin Mo didn't dare to be careless, thinking about the next countermeasure.

Not long after, He Chen lowered his long legs from the coffee table, looked at the sofa where Xiao Yeyan had been sitting, and raised his lips evilly, "Captain Yin, where are you going to take me?"

Yin Mo pursed her lips, her tone was very stiff, "Where does Mr. He want to go?"

"How's the bedroom?" He Chen said as he got up, the bathrobe was hanging loosely on his body, and a large area of ​​his chest was exposed as he walked, making no secret of his wantonness and frivolity.

Yin Mo took a step back, and touched the dagger on the back waist with her fingers over the edge of the jacket. When He Chen was close in front of her eyes, she raised a coquettish smile, "Mr. He is not joking?"

He Chen stretched his eyebrows, stepped forward to support the door with one hand, raised Yin Mo's chin with the other hand, lowered his handsome face, and reminded her, "If I were you, I wouldn't choose to do it at this time."
