Chapter 51

The Count wants to see him.

Lin Hai may ignore the commotion from the academy. But it seems that there is no way to refuse the message from Lin Wei that Ang Lee conveys. If he shuts the machine to ignore him, Ang Lee, who will not say the message for the time being, may be questioned, and Lin Hai does not want to see Lin Wei forever.

This is a restaurant near the river. In the private room on the second floor, there is a copper candlestick in the middle of the dining table, with plastered door frames and black and white chessboard patches on the walls. A retro and warm atmosphere gradually spread out in this night. There are only five people on the table, Count Lin Wei, Countess, Lin Wei, Lin Hao, and Lin Hai.

Milan Star Lombardy River cuisine is rich, from mountain dishes to lake dishes, plain dishes, and finely crafted, and is well-known in the empire. Milan risotto is even more famous for interstellar. The price of saffron is calculated in grams, with Obu wine, bone marrow veal, soft and plump rice with spices and seasonings, and served with strong beef, which is extremely delicious.

The sound of the knife and the steak cutting and the collision of the plate cups sounded from time to time. Lin Hao frowned gently, looking at Lin Hai's waist straight and his eyes were on the delicious food on the plate, and he was extremely focused. The spoon frequency quickly rose and fell between his mouth and in the plate. Not long after, a plate of food was eaten purely. I thought that Lin Hai had been back for more than a year and had a sharp personality, he also had a somewhat natural aristocratic demeanor in his blood, but even on this eating, he never looked like a nobleman.

The two main knives were not touched, and the three forks were equivalent to nothing, and only a spoon was used. However, Lin Wei seemed to have no hope of Lin Hai eating like a real nobleman, so she asked the kitchen to cut his steak into eight equal parts in advance. He let him swallow it with rice.

However, the basic etiquette error of Lin Hao's wrists that was like the Count who was knocked hard by the earl whenever Lin Hao made a mistake in the past, but the Countess and the Countess ignored it. They just looked at the nose and the nose and the heart, and drank it by themselves. From the inside to the outside, there were appetizing soups, cold dishes, main dishes, and steaks gradually cut from left to right. Each piece cut seemed to be measured with a ruler, and there was no error in size.

Earl has said that standardization has created modern civilization since childhood, and modern aristocrats need more standardized etiquette. Etiquette is not only a form, but also the face of an excellent aristocrat. The profound aristocratic history of the Great Eagle Empire has enabled many aristocrats to be able to distinguish through the external manifestation of your etiquette, whether you are a nouveau riche who has risen for a century or a big family that has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

This is often a business card between the aristocratic interactions, and the benefits brought by gaining recognition from the aristocratic circle are sometimes often unexpected help. Being favored by a great nobleman is very likely to allow a small nobleman to enter the circle and gain unprecedented opportunities and resources.

However, now, if Lin Hai is placed in the upper society banquets in the Milan Star East, it is like a bison breaking into the gentlemen's dinner. However, it is clearly such a blasphemy attitude, and the countess are not involved in it. Is this a legendary privilege? Thinking of the sins suffered by learning the aristocratic etiquette, Lin Hao almost burst into tears.

Put down the knife and wiped his mouth with a dining palette. The count raised his head, "It seems that our family hasn't eaten together like this for a long time."

The thrilling hearing was just held. The members of the Skeleton and Bones Society and the Marquis of Milan Star were eyeing each other. The turmoil caused by Lin Hai's identity was still far-reaching. The Lin Hai family's peaceful dinner on the banks of the Lombardy River was indeed hard-won.

Because the best situation expected by Lin Wei and others was that Lin Hai was expelled from Qingyuan College, and his student life was ruined.

But there is a faint smell of uneasiness hidden in this silence.

Lin Wei also put down her knife and fork and whispered, "Maybe there will be fewer and fewer such days in the future."

Lin Hai raised his eyebrows lightly, not understanding that this was clearly a family meal by the river. The candlelight was warm and the small boat swayed outside the window. It should have been a quiet and peaceful taste, but why the tone of the Count and Lin Wei contained the storm of the storm.

"On the second day of the investigation hearing, the great nobles of the empire's lily flower officially issued an ultimatum to us." The Count raised his head and looked at Lin Haidao.

It was obviously the first time Lin Hao heard this. When he heard the "Lily Nobles", perhaps because he had been influenced by the audience since childhood, he couldn't help but look up in shock and couldn't help but say "ah".

The Lily Noble, one of the thirteen round tables of the Empire. Lin Hao has never been unfamiliar with this master family. Not only Lin Hao, but I am afraid that the old Count will live in the shadow of this name for the next two generations.

When the old Count Lin Lei left the main house and came to the Milan Star District to form a series of riverside stars. The anger caused to the Lily Flower nobles has continued to this day. However, the relationship between Lin Lei and the military at that time has prevented the main house from using his huge hands to crush the side of the riverside stars to establish their own doors. However, the secret suppression has been the shadow of the main house.

Otherwise, Lin Lei would have been so full that he could have left the Lily Aristocrats and at least become one of the speakers of the Star Zone when he went to Milan Star. However, because of the reason why the Lily Aristocrats' family was so pretentious that the old Lin Lei, who was so thunderous and rather than bent, also made many compromises and concessions in the face of the powerful Lily Aristocrats' family.

The final result continued to retreat and release for 30 light years, left the Milan Star Zone, gave up the position of the Speaker of the Star Zone, and settled in a corner of the riverside star. Although facing such suppression, Lin Lei also relied on his own strength to gain a foothold in the Riverside Star, like alfalfa grass in the mud. When the Lily Noble realized that this old earl was alfalfa suppression, it was too late. Even though the thirteen round table nobles had extraordinary energy, the Riverside Star was too far away from their power control, and they could only watch the Riverside Star Lin family was like a wedge, piercing on the southwest star map of the empire that was most annoying in sight.

Nearly half a century has passed, and many things have disappeared in time, but the shame of a great nobleman back then has not been forgotten. For more than half a century, the glorious aristocrat from the star circle of the empire's capital has been staring at the small member of the Milan star area with a pair of cold, resentful, hateful and disgusting eyes. There are even some targeted means in secret to dig out the foundation and corners of this family, let this branch that rebels from the master family collapse and annihilate, and reshape the prestige of a great nobleman in the thirteen round table of the empire.

In Lin Hao's education, he has never dared to forget the threat to the entire family of this giant in the House of Lords of the Empire. The Lin family on the riverside star is like a piece of meat held by the wolf's mouth, which may be bitten and eaten at any time.

The sense of crisis has been shrouded in the manor for most of half a century, and even this sense of crisis has broken the hearts of many people, such as the elders of the family, Lin Jiang and Lin Yuanshan, who were supposed to be the right-hand man in the family business. It is precisely because they were already scared by the sword hanging above their heads and were scared by the Lily Flower nobles that they had the idea of ​​depriving the head of the family and seizing the family property.

All the internal conflicts between Wayne Group and the Riverside Star Lin family are derived from fear of external threats. They are worried that one day the great nobles of the House of Lords will suddenly overturn their palms and pour out the power of the starship and cannon, completely razing the Riverside Star Lin family to the ground.

Lin Hao looked at the count. His mother Ning Qing had a solemn face. With Lin Wei's strong character, she wanted to grin at him now as comforting, as soft as before, but she did find that she was so hard that she could not squeeze out a smile.

Lin Hao's pupils shrank sharply, fear began to spread silently, and cold climbed up his spine.

The palm of the palm of the top noble who had infinite power crushed everything, lowered this day and finally arrived

"Ultimatum?" Lin Hai muttered the meaning of this word.

"Wynn's mining license for New South Star is about to expire... and this is our weakness. The Lily Nobles want the Milan Star District to issue a new decree to require the recycling of expired private mining licenses..." Lin Wei said calmly, but his voice was a little solemn in this peaceful and warmth that reflected the rippling waves of the lower Lombardy River. "Once we do this, our last resource will be cut off from the bottom of their pot."

Lin Wei sighed, "There is another point that the Imperial Military armored film supply contract that we rely on will end this year... It is said that the Lily Flower Family has also put some pressure on the military. It is very likely that the next armored film supply contract will be determined by the Mecha Company in the Formula League event. Once implemented, it will also be a fatal blow to us."

The Imperial arms procurement bill was a policy determined several centuries ago and has continued to this day. The Imperial military arms purchased from private arms manufacturers, which made the Imperial weapons manufacturing industry, which was originally ruled by the House of Lords and the king, divided into procurement bills by the Parliament. This bill is called the biggest weakening of the royal power by the Parliament in centuries. But in fact, the Parliament's ability to achieve such a phased victory is only an appearance. To date, the great nobles of the House of Lords, as well as the nobles and family of MPs who controlled the House of Lords, still hold more than 50% of the Imperial arms procurement contracts. Less than half of the military arms contracts have been acquired by rising stars, some arms companies with no background but technical strength for hundreds of years.

Wayne Company is strictly a beneficiary of noble privilege.

However, if the light armor contract is re-established, this will undoubtedly be a severe blow to Wayne Company.

What's more, the Lily nobles actually applied energy to ask the Milan Star Zone to issue a decree to recover the expired private mining rights. This undoubtedly points directly to the largest and most prosperous mining base of the Lin family in New Nanxing. This is a killer move that can be blocked by blood.

We have to admit that if the Lily nobles use these two major means, it will be equivalent to cutting off the Lin family’s wealth on the one hand, and cutting off their resources on the other hand... This move is really ruthless!

Lin Haidao, "Why did they choose to send such an ultimatum on the second day of the investigation hearing? If they want to defeat their opponents, wouldn't it be better to make silent efforts? Why should we tell us this? Is it just to appreciate despair?"

Earl Lin Wei shook his head, "No, they gave a condition."

"What conditions?" Lin Hai raised his eyebrows, with some unknown premonition.

After hesitating for a moment, the count said, "Let the Riverside Star Lin family announce that they have severed all relations with you... confess the old earl's rebellious actions, let Lin Hao become the children of Lin Sai, the current head of the Lily Flower Noble family, and then send you to the capital star circle and be included in the Lily Flower Noble family to be naturalized. This is the condition they have opened. If this line is met, the Riverside Star Lin family can be temporarily stored."

The atmosphere fell into absolute silence.

Lin Hai looked at the Count's brown and black eyes, "How did you answer."

"Reject." The count said. But Ning Qing, the wife beside him, had her eyelashes trembled a few times.

Anyone who faces this "ultimatum" from a great nobleman is afraid he will not be able to calm down.

After a pause, Lin Wei continued, "But this matter involves your future, so I must ask you for your opinions first."

Lin Wei's brown eyes fell on Lin Hai's body.

Lin Hai knew very well that Lin Wei asked him to make a choice.

The Lin family has always been sorry for Lin Hai and his son. He was abandoned in the garbage star since he was a child and was pulled and raised by his sick mother. At such a young age, he had to work hard for life. Even when he returned to the riverside star, Lin Hai was also called "illegitimate son" in the mouths of others.

The Lin family on the riverside star has never been worthy of Lin Hai... So Lin Wei would ask this because of this.

Could Lin Hai break off relations with his father who had never fulfilled his responsibilities, and then join the family of the great noble with his aura as the designer of the rotor engine?

Lin Hai has the right to make such a choice, so Lin Wei asked him to make a choice.

Lin Hao's face twitched and beating, as if after a violent struggle in his heart, facing his father's stern gaze, he stuttered a little, "Who, who cares, I don't want to be the godson of Luo Shizi Lindsay, thinking about calling someone "godfather" for some reason... I'm afraid I'll be disgusted to death..."

Lin Wei's eyes looked at Lin Hai, while Ning Qing and Lin Wei's eyes were all focused on him.

In the silence that was so short that it was almost breathtaking, they saw Lin Hai's slender brows gently raised, stood up, and walked out of the room, "If your purpose today is to know my answer... then my answer is, follow your decision."

Lin Hai left the room. Lin Wei, who had been holding his body straight and was not angry, inadvertently let out a breath, his shoulders sank, and his back was slightly hunched.

Lin Wei stood up and followed Lin Hai.

On the open-air balcony of the restaurant, Lin Wei stood beside Lin Hai leaning against the guardrail and blowing the wind.

She looked at the river in the distance, and the mottled lights filled her beautiful eyes. "The Lin family owe you a lot, I know. If you blame him for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father, I understand... But please understand that the old earl really carries a lot of things, maybe some difficulties are that he will never tell you, and will even take them to the grave... I will tell you like this... It's understandable that you choose to cut off your relationship. Even the lily nobleman, what confesses to the defection of the old earl Lin Lei, and let Lin Hao be a child, is nothing more than a form... Their real purpose may be just for you. They just want you. But if you really cut off your relationship with us... I think I will be very disappointed."

Lin Hai raised his head, looked at Lin Wei's delicate side face from the side, and said with a smile, "What's the disappointment? I remember when I first met you, for a long time, you wished I was driven back to the garbage star that day. It would be better if I didn't have a person like me in the manor."

To be honest, Lin Wei's appearance is not inferior to Xia Ying, but she is different from Xia Ying. Xia Ying is in a close relationship, but she has a kind of aura and inviolable temperament in her bones. Lin Wei's face is as cold as a knife, but she is not arrogant. At best, she is very purposeful and sometimes has a clear distinction between love and hate. For example, she can mercilessly play with Lin Hai, who was new to the new arrival at that time, for the sake of Lin Hao, the "brother".

"That was before, but now, if I can't scold you from time to time, I'm really not used to it."

"Then I'd better consider severing the relationship... I don't like being scolded at will." Lin Hai made a move and wanted to return to the private room.

"Hey" the voice is clearer and more pleasant.

Lin Hai turned around like a whirlwind.

Lin Wei stood tall on the terrace. The breeze by the river blew her red hair, bringing some girlish fragrance. Unexpectedly, Lin Hai suddenly turned around after she shouted. Her head opened in panic and her eyes temporarily lost focus. A tiny color like a smudge on the Lombardy River appeared on the lines of the lower jaw that was as smudged by the Lombardy River, "...what do you want?"

"I said we were going to be a couple with name and reality. What is the condition?"

Lin Wei suddenly turned her head and stared at him in shock. Her eyes showed complex and intertwined expressions of surprise, shock, shame, anger, etc.

Lin Hai was not in a hurry, standing and waiting for her next sentence.

Lin Wei's face was intertwined with red and white, and the two of them fell into silence for thirty seconds.

Lin Wei suddenly blushed and nodded, "Okay."

"Okay?" This time it was Lin Hai's turn to open his eyes widened.

Lin Wei deliberately stood up gently, and the girl's proud and full body was fully revealed in the moonlight, but her tone was a little frivolous, "However, you can get my body, but you can't get my heart. And don't try to change it with time. I'm not a girl who can settle down. Even if I'm destined to have a husband arranged in my fate, I will fulfill the responsibility of a good wife and mother, but you will never try to make my heart a promise to you."

I don’t know if it was Lin Wei’s frivolous and sharp expression or the phrase “forever” was a bit sharp. Lin Hai’s eyes quietly glanced across a trace of unidentified sadness.

He looked at Lin Wei's pretty face who deliberately raised her beautiful jaw and demonstrated to him, as if he wanted to remember this face forever, which seemed to coincide with a certain face. Lin Hai's sadness happened to be keenly captured by Lin Wei, and her red lips raised a hint of pleasure.

Lin Hai's expression suddenly changed, like a wounded wild wolf. Lin Wei's screams were already wrapped around his slender waist and sturdy into his arms.

The next moment, Lin Hai leaned over and kissed Lin Wei heavily.

Lin Wei wanted to slap her, but Lin Hai held it tightly. Lin Wei changed to her mouth and bit her lip hard. However, Lin Hai was indifferent and was willing to conflict and explore in her soft lips and Dingxiang's mouth.

Lin Wei's slender body could not struggle. Finally, as she said before, she gave up resistance and allowed Lin Hai's mouth to humiliate her lips, but she had no reaction. She just bit his lips tightly, and two lines of clear tears rolled down from her eyes.

After a while, Lin Hai retreated and separated from her delicate body. His eyes were a little fierce and he wiped away the blood stains from the corners of his mouth.

Lin Wei and Deqing's tears spread across the corner of her mouth, dripping large pieces on her chin, then wiped them away, looking at Lin Hai with resentment and coldness, "Now you are satisfied."

Then she walked forward with tall figure and passed by Lin Hai. "Even if you use this method, don't ever imagine that I will fall in love with you."

Before entering the restaurant, Lin Wei remembered something extremely important. She folded her long legs and stood still. Her tight legs under the moonlight had two smooth arcs and said coldly, "The Earl wants to use the evidence you have mastered to attack the Zhao family... I don't think I need to remind you that during this period, don't overexpose it, this is for your life safety..."

Lin Hai's injury and obscure just now seemed to be buried in a deep place again, and he recovered a little bit. "I was worried about my safety so quickly, and I still said I wouldn't fall in love with me?"

Lin Wei wanted to say something but stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything. She had to enter the hall without looking back and left a sentence, "Don't you really want to marry me, so you have to keep your life... Just take care of yourself."

The quiet Milan star is late at night, and the forest at the end of the dinner is walking alone on the path adjacent to the bay.

The brightly lit bridge in the distance, the passenger plane flying in the sky, and the ferry lights all make the forest like a lone walker walking in the light and shadow, and it seems that it will be so lonely forever.
To be continued...
