Chapter 21 The dignity of the nobility

Neither Lu Yuan nor Su Mei expected that after Mary refused for Miss Cynthia, she would directly offer to give the gem to herself.

If it was the first time I came to contact this task branch last time, Lu Yuan would definitely agree without blinking.

But after experiencing the pain of becoming a gem man, Lu Yuan didn't dare to take on this suspicious hot potato any more.

Now I even wonder if Mary was sent by monkey to clean up her.

But if you think a little, you will understand that there is no need for Mary to do this at all.

"This." Lu Yuan looked at Mary's sincere expression and tried hard to describe the words in his heart: "Actually, Miss Mary, we are the same as Miss Cynthia."

"Compared to your thanks, we hope you can live a better life through your own efforts."

Mary looked at the gem in her hand and looked at Lu Yuan again.

Finally nodded: "Okay, I understand."

...

...

When she bid farewell to Miss Mary, Lu Yuan and Su Mei returned to the detective office.

"Who is here?" Miss Ke Yao walked over and asked.

Lu Yuan said to Miss Ke Yao in full detail this just changed history.

Miss Ke Yao fell into deep thought after listening.

"Miss Mary is such a kind and good person." Miss Ke Yao sighed and said, "And don't you need money very much now?"

"Since Miss Mary takes the initiative to give you that precious sapphire, why not accept it?"

"Because a gentleman loves money, he gets it well." Lu Yuan looked at Miss Ke Yao and said, "This common saying in the Huanglong Kingdom is very suitable for the current situation."

"If Miss Cynthia had not received this gem, then what virtue could we, who had just achieved the slightest merit, have we to accept such a valuable gift."

"Besides, in comparison, it's obvious that Miss Mary needs this gem more."

"That's what you said." Ke Yao nodded.

"Well, then we can prepare supper now."

Lu Yuan smiled: "So Miss Ke Yao, can I use the detective's mind to guess what the supper is today?"

"Yes." Ke Yao said with a smile.

"Tomato sauce beans!" Lu Yuan said firmly.

Then, looking at the surprised look on Miss Ke Yao's face, Lu Yuan smiled and shrugged: "Look, I must be a qualified detective."

...

...

It is really a fulfilling thing to determine what to eat tonight by predicting the unknown.

However, the butterfly effect did not take effect. Although Lu Yuan guessed the supper correctly today, Miss Ke Yao did not change the supper because she wanted to forcibly give way to Lu Yuan's prediction.

So dinner is still sad tomato sauce beans.

Even if the tomato sauce beans are delicious?

And Miss Ke Yao should not be considered middle-class - no, Ke Yao is basically a woman with one foot in the aristocratic class now. It is a dream on earth to own such a big villa to be a firm in Bakerland, where every inch of land is worth a fortune.

Lu Yuan asked Miss Ke Yao this question at the dinner table.

Ke Yao lowered his head and smiled, then reached out to lift his hair: "Actually, what is different from what you see."

"I'm not very rich," said Miss Ke Yao quietly. "Although this house is big, it is of course very valuable. If sold, it may be sold for as much as one million pounds."

"But--this is the legacy that Mr. Hulmos left to me."

"It's like I'm still running a detective office here, of course, because this is what Hulmos did during his lifetime, but on the other hand." Ke Yao smiled: "I don't have any effective way to make money."

"A way to maintain a decent life for a noble family."

As she said this, Miss Ke Yao lowered her head and ate a bite of tomato sauce beans with a spoon: "Look, like these beans, not everyone can afford to be eaten by Beckland. Of course, such crude food is also dismissed by the nobles."

"But for me." Ke Yao smiled: "I came from the poor, and it is also very expensive to maintain such a large villa, so I prefer to save as much as possible."

"So." Lu Yuan actually didn't expect this. In his opinion, since Miss Ke Yao inherited Mr. Hulmos's legacy, she should be very rich.

In fact, Miss Ke Yao is indeed very rich, but she is not very profitable, and her expenses are very high.

So much expense is unnecessary expense, just as it is very expensive to maintain such a large villa.

"So why do I still want to take you in?" Miss Ke Yao smiled.

"Don't you know that I am a bad capitalist now?" Miss Ke Yao couldn't help laughing as she said this.

"I have always been recruiting people, assistants who can assist me in detective work, but I have never had a partner to suit my heart, so I can only maintain this detective firm alone."

"Your arrival is not to make me worse, but to help me in time."

Miss Ke Yao said seriously, her eyes flashing with the light of flames in the fireplace.

"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded: "You are a respectable woman."

"But, have you really not considered getting married?"

"Are you getting married?" Ke Yao looked at Lu Yuan and smiled: "If there is a suitable partner."

“I will consider it.”

...

...

So the implication is that there is no suitable partner.

After dinner, Lu Yuan and Su Mei got together first and discussed what happened next.

Although the two of them successfully rejected Mary's Deadly Stone, they were still not sure that the next two people could wait for dawn safely.

After all, the shadow is too huge.

"I'm considering whether we should sleep together." Su Mei said seriously.

"If we find that we have become a gem person, we can't scare such a good Miss Ke Yao. We will jump off the building and stop ourselves and reincarnate?" Lu Yuan said.

"To be honest, I feel it's a good idea." Su Mei said with a slander.

However, becoming a gem person is basically self-destructive from humans, and there is basically nothing to do except die.

After all, although the gem man has strong defense, his movement power is very poor. The joints in the body are basically locked by gems, and the movement is basically a zombie jumping.

No - you can't even jump.

"But." Su Mei sighed: "I feel Miss Mary is ignorant and kind."

"I thought so too." Lu Yuan nodded: "But no matter what, we must first consider whether we can see the sun tomorrow."

"Do you want to sleep in a room?" Lu Yuan said.
