Chapter 77 Rainy Night Tea Party

That night, the Hellis family.

Since Miss Lacey from the Carrites family is going to visit tonight, the Helis family has made all kinds of preparations. Logically speaking, they should have come to apologize, but Miss Lacey sent a message that it was unnecessary. She is visiting in person this evening.

The door to the courtyard was open, and the clean and soft carpet had already been laid. Hearing that Loren Hill liked quietness, the Hellis family did not invite other guests, and only their servants and guards were lined up in the courtyard.

The door of Lai Yehua's carriage opened, and Loren Hill was wearing a rare black dress. The pure black dress was in sharp contrast with the fair skin. The black lace skirt and cuffs also added a strangeness to it. Charm, she got off the carriage, even the shoes were small black leather shoes, and above the shoes were pure white silk stockings.

"Miss Lacey of the Karites Chamber of Commerce is here~"

As the attendant at the door shouted, there were some melodious music sounds on both sides of the courtyard. About 20 violinists stood on both sides of the carpet and pulled the strings. The soothing violin sounds sounded like butterflies flying among the leaves.

Roland Hill's blue pupils swept lightly. These men were dressed gorgeously and skillfully, and their faces didn't look like locals. They should have been invited by the Helis family temporarily. They really have a heart.

With a slight sigh in his heart, the door of the Helis family mansion opened, revealing a brightly lit hall, and its patriarch Hoth and eldest daughter Mei Lu stood at the door to greet him.

"Welcome Miss Lacey's visit, we have been waiting for a long time."

The bald owner, Hoss, led Roland Hill into the hall. He first led him to sit down, and then clapped his palms. The girls in dancing dresses entered through the side door. The long skirt, every time you take a step, turn the skirt once, the silver patch on the skirt shimmers in the light, and then a burst of music followed, this time not only the 20 violinists outside the courtyard sat down to play, There is also a pianist and a dozen wind players in the hall.

With the beat of the music, these dancers sometimes stand on tiptoes, sometimes turn their skirts, forming a huge concentric circle on the dance floor of the hall, and then forming a huge flower with blue and red as the music changes The petals of the dance bloom and fold from time to time. Finally, with the curtain call of the music, the dancers in the outermost circle lie on their backs.

Loren Hill sat on the sofa on the steps, and in front of it was a coffee table with some fruits and iced juices on it.

It is indeed a relatively excellent dance, and I am a little admired, but that's all. For her, who has seen all kinds of light and shadow special effects in the age of technology, and a large-scale singing and dancing party with hundreds of people, this is really not surprising. But let's give the Helis family a face, she applauded slightly.

Hoss, the head of the Helis family, seemed very happy, thinking that the performance he had paid for had paid off, while Roland Hill just didn't show it out of restraint.

Seeing her father's demeanor, Mei Lu shook her head secretly. As for this Miss Lacey, she only thought that her appearance was unparalleled in the world when they first met. Later, Lacey set a new joint project with other chambers of commerce to let her She woke up with a start, and the subsequent assassination made her a little afraid of this beautiful eldest lady.

I really don't know how this Miss Lacey grew up. I've never heard of her reputation, but her business techniques are extremely skilled. It can be seen from a series of recent performances by Carites, and she even faintly surpassed Angus. The trend of the reign, not only did not flourish and decline, but has a tendency to take off.

But doing business like this requires a lot of experience. I have never heard of any academic school that can achieve great success. It relies more on talent and knowledge. This is also what makes Mei Lu puzzled. Besides, Lacey is definitely not weak, and it feels like at least Sequence 4? she guessed.

Continuing to think about how to face this Miss Lacey in her heart, Mei Lu saw her father's self-conscious and silly appearance, and her head began to ache.

Huo Si is indeed a good father and a good parent, but he is not shrewd enough as the head of the family. In the past, when the old head of the family was in power, he could often mention it. Later, after the death of his grandfather, the eldest daughter Mei Lu played the role of the family's think tank.

But a daughter is a daughter after all, what she can do is limited, and the power in the chamber of commerce is gradually dispersed by several other uncles, showing a tendency to be too big.

"Lacie's niece, your father and I were very close back then, and we often drank together. This time, it was also my uncle who didn't manage the guards at home. I hope you don't mind."

Father actually wanted to expose it so easily, Mei Lu's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't believe it. It was an assassination, and the opponent was dead.

"Although you have been friends with our Karites, it is a matter of the previous generation after all, I don't know very well. Besides, the guards of the Helis family moved their swords in the street, which almost killed me, causing the entire Chamber of Commerce to be killed. Falling apart, do you think such an apology is enough?"

Sure enough, Lacey rejected such an easy reconciliation because it was nothing but insult.

"This... niece Lacey, no, Miss Lacey, then you want to..." Huoth couldn't figure it out, wasn't it still smiling and cheerful, why did it suddenly happen like this? Woolen cloth.

"Father, you are tired too, so let me come." Mei Lu stood up and saluted slightly, then walked to her father's side and persuaded softly.

Hoss is still a little self-aware, knowing that his daughter is smarter, so he simply let go, indicating that he was a little sleepy, and then let Meru and Lacey talk.

As Hawes left, there were only two eldest ladies left in the huge hall, Lacey and Maylu, and it started to rain lightly outside the hall.

There was rainwater dripping from the eaves and hitting the marble steps. The fine rain curtain covered the scenery outside the house, making it a little blurry. Occasionally the sea breeze blows, the rain slants, and some float into the hall, bringing a little coolness.

Meru fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, then refilled Lacey's teacup with hot tea, and sat down to start the conversation again.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey. What happened that day was because our family was neglected and the guards were bought by outsiders."

"I know." Lacey held the teacup, her hair fell on the pure black dress, unexpectedly affirmed.

"So, what I want to ask is, what position does the Hellis family stand on? Is it the same as in the past, standing with us Karites, or wants to remain neutral and be alone. Or, you have decided to stand Our opposite."

Lacey's blue transparent pupils looked directly at Meru, no longer giving her any room to dodge.
