Why would the usually shy mother suddenly go out for the night, with her godmother even covering for her?
Everything is traceable.
White suddenly felt ashamed.
"But..." He frowned: "Why didn't you just tell me?"
"I'm afraid you can't accept it for the time being." Jiang Lu shrugged.
"Ahem." White choked a few times, with a complicated expression: "It's true that I can't accept it, so why are you telling me directly now?"
Hearing this, Jiang Lu's face became very serious, and he said righteously:
“We had originally planned to find a way to tell you slowly, but your self-righteous and completely wrong investigation ruined everything. If I don’t tell you the truth, who knows where you’ll go.
I will not allow you, as a son, to misunderstand your mother, and I will not allow anyone to throw dirty water on the woman I love, not even you!"
White's mouth opened wide, looking at a loss.
He was really shocked by the reasonable yet abstract development of the matter.
"You...you let me calm down."
White lit a cigar and puffed on it numbly.
Jiang Lu was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
After a long while, White asked quietly, "What have you been doing all these years?"
"You know." Jiang Lu pretended to be relaxed and talked about his improvised experience: "It's not easy to make a living in this world. After I lost contact with you, I went to Europe. Guess what happened?
Those bastards actually told me that the triangular trade was history!
So the deal that I had been dreaming about for a long time fell through.
Then I went to the Caribbean and tried to be a pirate, so I could earn enough money to marry your mother. I have to say that people who live on the sea are very open-minded, and I even met a few female pirates. "
Noticing that White's expression had indeed turned unhappy, Jiang Lu explained, "Don't look at me like that. Don't worry, I haven't done anything to let your mother down."
White's expression indeed eased a little.
“In short, the life of a pirate is not as easy and profitable as I imagined, and I didn’t save much money over the years.
I had no choice but to go to Southeast Asia again to try my luck.
I was lucky enough to make a fortune thanks to a few wealthy businessmen. "
White was a little surprised: "You can also do business?"
"No." Jiang Lu shook his head: "I kidnapped them."
"Oh..."
"In short, I have traveled almost all over the world in these years. I thought you might still be living in poverty like before, but I didn't expect..."
Jiang Lu looked at White with some relief:
"You are already a remarkable person."
White couldn't help but sit up straighter, feeling inexplicably proud.
Although Jiang Lu said it easily, White could still feel the difficulties he had faced over the years based on his own experience.
"Thanks a lot."
"Haha, why are you being polite? Son, I'm even more proud of you!"
"Don't..." White, who was originally a little touched, suddenly broke down: "Don't call me that for now, I still need some time."
"Tsk, there's really nothing I can do about you."
White took a few deep breaths and forced a smile: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, you can stay at home and you don't have to run around anymore."
"No." Jiang Lu shook his head: "I have to work. I can stop worrying about you, but I have to make money to support your mother."
"..."
White always felt uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say.
"Well, if you really want to work, why don't you come and help me?"
"Oh no..."
Jiang Lu was reluctant to accept the offer, "Your mother said that you were in a gang. I'm not good at fighting and killing. I'm a very gentle person, so your mother likes me."
White was speechless for a moment.
Do you want to recall the experiences you just mentioned? Which one of them can be associated with the word gentle?
"I don't need you to fight and kill! Management, I need you to help me share some management work!"
"Oh, that's fine." Jiang Lu got the advantage and still acted cute. If being cute didn't work, he had to rely on his age and seniority: "But I'm not saying anything bad about you. I can still help you share some of the burden now, but what about when I get old? You have to learn to be independent and don't make me and your mother worry."
"How old are you?" White asked silently.
"Twenty-three, what about you?"
"nineteen."
The two looked at each other and the air fell into silence.
Finally, White was the first to break the silence: "Anyway, you should go and accompany my mother first. I will take you to my workplace tomorrow to familiarize yourself with it."
"Okay." Jiang Lu nodded.
"By the way, please don't tell my mother what I just said to you. I don't want her to be mad at me for secretly investigating her."
White pleaded, "And to be honest, I don't know how to face her now."
Jiang Lu answered without hesitation: "Well, don't worry, we are on the same front."
"Thank you."
After watching Jiang Lu leave the study, White's eyes slowly moved to the leather paper that he had put away before Jiang Lu came in. It involved Mrs. White, which made him very hesitant and entangled. Should he use the agreement to control the other party?
After leaving the study and closing the door, Jiang Lu stood there for a moment.
He is thinking about a problem now.
So now, is it that he and Mrs. White colluded to cheat White, or did he collude with White to cheat Mrs. White?
Unable to figure it out, Jiang Lu gave up.
Because he has already begun studying the Shark Party's opponents.
Then he opened Mrs. White's bedroom door.
Three minutes later.
"Don't be sad. Although this misunderstanding is a bit...but he has accepted it, right?" Mrs. White hugged Jiang Lu and comforted him.
"But...but." Jiang Lu said in a teay and bitchy tone, "He treats me as his childhood friend. Doesn't this prove that only that person can be accepted so easily? Then what am I?"
Mrs. White looked helpless.
After she learned about White's misunderstanding, she originally wanted to clarify it, but after Jiang Lu's fuss, she felt that it was no longer important. The most important thing was that White could accept Jiang Lu and stay with him.
So now she is worried that White will drive Jiang Lu away after clarifying the misunderstanding, so she is unwilling to clarify it.
Jiang Lu continued to search for the enemy in the void: "Does that person have anything to do with you? Say something."
"How could it possibly be related?"
"Really? It can only be me, right?"
"Yes, you can rest assured."
"That's pretty much it."
Jiang Lu deeply realized that this kind of unreasonable behavior of changing the concept and turning passivity into initiative is simply a magical skill.
There was never a moment when he was so grateful for his rich surfing experience.
The West is the West after all, and its version is still too backward.
Obviously, Jiang Lu only needs to make a slight move to reach the limit of this version, which is a complete dimensionality reduction attack!
Chapter 78 I talked nonsense about the leader's private affairs, and the leader opened the door and I got in the car
The next day.
Jiang Lu got up early.
Because White said he would take him to familiarize himself with the business today.
Under Mrs. White's lingering gaze, which was almost annoying, he put on his clothes and went downstairs.
White is having dinner.
"Good morning, Mr. White."
Jiang Lu greeted.
Although White's expression remained unchanged, he felt very happy in his heart.
Because Jiang Lu seemed to be a very polite person, he did not act too presumptuous in front of outsiders because of his special relationship with him, and still placed him in a high position.
"Good morning, Park Ho-nam."
White had already found out Jiang Lu's pseudonym.
He pushed the plate full of food in front of Jiang Lu: "We will leave after we finish eating."
"it is good."
Jiang Lu was eating breakfast when he noticed several eyes were staring at him.
"What are you?"
Of course the servants did not dare to answer "What are you looking at?" and they shook their heads tremblingly.
They were shocked to see Jiang Lu coming down from upstairs intact and having breakfast with White.
Why hook up with Mrs. White when there are so many people to hook up with? In their opinion, this girl should have been thrown onto the dock to feed the fish last night.
But the truth is exactly the opposite.
