Chapter 1271
"Duke, you're too kind. Elsa and I have been friends for many years," Aman said. "This time, my wife's plane accident happened and it was led by Ruidan. I'll have to trouble him to bring my wife here. I have to thank Elsa for this."
Alex said with a smile, "Father, why don't you worry about taking care of your family for me? Why don't you let me receive this honored guest, Aman?"
"Mr. Emperor is no ordinary guest. Princess is also a princess of the Kingdom of Xavier," Alex said. "My mother and I, along with Simon's mother, have been away for a few months. We heard on the phone that you are seriously ill. Do you think that I'm not at ease?"
"Oh?" Elsa glanced at his stepmother next to the Alex. "Since my parents know that I'm gravely ill, don't they want to come back and take a look?"
This question was asked in a joking tone.
However, the Alex face did not look too good.
"I promised Simon's mother that I'll take a few months off with her this time." The Alex, with a sense of sterness, gave the reason why he didn't come back in time.
"Yes, don't tell me you're spoiling me?" The beautiful Alex wife said as she covered half of her face with a fan.
"Of course..." This was the end of his sentence. "I won't. I would also like to thank my stepmother for accompanying my father to take a walk outside."
"Yes, that's good," the Alex said with a smile. While talking to Simon and Henry, she said, "You should also learn from her and pay more attention to your father."
Simon snorted and gave a snort of derision, but did not say a word.
"Yes, Mother." Henry answered magnanimously. He turned to the Alex and said, "Father, Big Brother has always been someone we respect."
"Then that's good." The Alex saw that her eldest son was greatly respected by the other children and was very pleased. She then said to Xyler, "You're seriously ill and I didn't rush back in time. It's me, your father, who is on duty with you. It's not easy for me to accompany your stepmother for vacation. I hope you'll understand."
"Father, you're taking it seriously." Xyler said with a smile. "Father, you've already called me and asked me about my physical condition. Please don't take it to heart. Please rest assured, Father. Although my health is not very good, it's still not enough to stop me from receiving VIPs." As he spoke, he looked at Aman and said, "However, Aman is indeed not an ordinary VIP. The Posius family is able to welcome the president of the Emperor, who is now the leader, as well as the princess of Xavier. I feel extremely honored..."
"You can just address me as Young Madam," Chloe said. "It's a great honor for me to be able to pay a visit to the Pochi Fuss family."
Aman looked at his wife, who was playing the piano with him, and gave a generous smile. "As my wife said, the family is one of the four major financial nobles in Europe. I thank you for your invitation before."
"Mr. Emperor, you don't mind if my wife and I didn't come back to welcome you in time." The Alex said, "But Mr. Emperor, you don't have to be modest. After all, my Posius Family is a noble family, but we can't compare with your Emperor Family. The Emperor Family is one of the most wealthy business families in today's world. Only the Long Family from Britain can be compared with you. We are indeed the financial nobles, but if something bad happens to us, we probably can't escape the fate of the Italian Nangong Family. If our family is defeated, we will be replaced by another family, one of the four major financial nobles."
Aman understood what this Alex meant.
This duke wanted to make a guarantee in front of Aman, to ensure that Aman would not do the same thing as he did to the Nangong clan in the future against the Pochi Fuss family.
He knew that Aman and Elsa were friends, which was why he asked Aman in front of him. He wanted his family to make friends with this friend of his.
Aman leaned back in his seat and shook the wine cup in his hand gracefully. "Duke, you must be joking. The Nangong family has been investigated by the police when it involved the underworld forces. As the oldest noble family in the history of Ruidan, the family has served the royal family for many years. Nowadays, Corporation is the largest energy magnate in northern Europe and has brought convenience to the country and the people of northern Europe. How could such a noble family have the same fate as the Nangong family?"
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Emperor. Here's my respect for you!"
Hearing Aman's assurance, the Alex immediately picked up his wine glass and drank it up again.
"Young Madam is truly beautiful and alluring." The Alex's wife had a sharp face. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and she was dressed in an evening gown. She was shining with a precious aura, and her smile was as charming as Henry's. "It's rumored that Aman dotes on his wife very much. Now that I've seen her today, it's no wonder there's such a rumor. I'm sure there aren't many men who don't love a beauty like you, Young Madam."
"Alex is really a joke." Chloe naturally praised her back. "You and Miss Henry are the true beauties. I've long heard that they're a couple who're envious of others."
Compared with the noble dress of the Alex' wife and Henry, Chloe's dress was elegant and graceful. She wore a pink satin dress, lace sleeves, and a little chrysanthemum, showing the graceful beauty of the eastern land!
"Me?" The countess laughed again. "I'm old. I only hope that Young Madame will be able to find a good husband like you. It's a pity that she only likes..."
"Mother." Henry interrupted her. "The honored guest is still here. Can you stop mocking your daughter?"
Chloe glanced at Henry.
Madam words sounded a little like the rest of Madam.
"Alright then," the Alex said as she set down her glass. "However, your father has been complaining to me that I won't urge you to get married. Now, it's only Simon who has pleased me most."
"As long as I can make my mother and father happy, I'm very happy to get married." Simon politely told his mother and father, as if he had separated this from his father's point of view, because his eldest son was not married.
"Look, it's Simon who saves us the most trouble, doesn't it?" The Alex' wife acted as if she was asking her husband for credit for her son. She turned to the latter and said, "Now that Henry has become the chief scientist of Ruidan and Simon is going to marry Princess Sara, shouldn't you feel relieved?"
As for Alex, Aman, and Chloe, amongst the two honored guests, one of them felt rather embarrassed at his wife's tender question.
"Madame, when have I ever been worried?" The Alex said. "I just want to see them get married as soon as possible. Parents all over the world should be like this."
"Is that so?" The countess laughed again. She turned to Chloe and Aman and said, "Mr. Emperor, Young Madam, I'm sorry for making you all laugh. Usually, the countess is very worried about the marriage between Elsa and Simon."
"The countess just said that Aman dotes on his wife. But from what I see, you and the countess are deeply in love," Chloe said with a smile.
She did not know if it was her illusion, but she felt that this Alex was talking about her son, Simon, and her daughter, Henry. However, she did not mention Elsa at all.
Sure enough, she wasn't his biological daughter.
"Maybe they treat each other differently!"
She hoped that the Alex would think more highly of her sons and sons.
