While the two "ladies" were still talking earnestly, there was another noise at the door.

The familiar noise made Mrs. Marx stop comforting Fran and look up at the door.

"Oh, we're still talking about him, he's back now!"

Then, there was a rhythmic sound of footsteps.

When Fran followed her gaze towards the door, she noticed that there was a tall figure there.

It was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a dignified appearance, a broad forehead, a calm and determined expression, and a black shiny beard.

He was dressed casually, and it was obvious that he didn't put much thought into the decoration of his appearance. The only thing that makes him look a little peculiar is his piercing eyes.

And these eyes are now looking curiously at the two uninvited guests who have just entered.

is such a person, worthy of his brother's sponsorship of so much money? After the two men looked at each other for a moment, Fran couldn't help but secretly write in her heart, feeling very puzzled.

She never imagined that she would be so unpredictable about her brother's thoughts.

Then, even so, she carefully concealed the doubts in her heart, and bowed respectfully to the other party. "Hello, Dr. Marx."

"Hello." When he heard the very beautiful woman in front of him greet him in French, the doctor also subconsciously greeted her in French.

However, the doubt in his eyes did not dissipate, and his eyes fell on his wife, as if to ask her what had happened.

"Carl. You're finally back...... We've been waiting for you for a long time. His wife smiled and explained to him, "These two are guests who have come to visit us......

And then. She stood up and walked over to her husband's side. Then he whispered to her husband about what she had just learned.

When he heard the news that Fran was the wife of his patron and that his patron had died suddenly, his eyes widened in shock, even with the doctor's composure.

He looked at Fran in disbelief, and Fran just nodded at him again with a sad face.

"Madam, I am so sorry for you, what a wonderful husband you have lost!" After a moment, the Doctor sighed, apparently having finally accepted the shocking news, "May he rest in peace!" ”

"Thank you. Mr. Fran thanked him sadly, "You can imagine what a generous and warm-hearted man he was, and I am still saddened by his loss." ”

"Please count me in, if I'm honored." "Our family is very grateful for his help to us, and if you willingly accept it, I will be your husband and your sincere friend." ”

"You're saying it so well...... Thank you very much. Sir......" Fran thanked him again as she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. "It is only when I am grateful that I can feel that everything my husband has done is worth it...... Forgive me for saying that...... Because there are so many ungrateful people in this world. Many people take our advantage and scold us as if we were born with something to them......"

"Yes, there are a lot of these bastards in the world. But we are not among them. The doctor bowed to Fran, apparently not recognizing the sarcasm in Fran's words. We will always be grateful for your husband's help to us. ”

You can say that. It's just wonderful. Fran sighed with relief, "After her husband died. His former friends don't associate with us much anymore, and even those who have been favored by him don't say anything about it...... Finally, not everyone is like this. It seems that my trip was not in vain......"

"Did you learn about our existence after his death?" The doctor was confused.

"Yes, my husband used to say nothing about your family's suddenness – he wasn't the kind of person who liked to show off his good deeds. It was only after his death that I was able to learn about your family's savings from the handler. It was because I was very curious about this, and because I had been at home for so long because of my grief, that I decided to leave for England, at least to see what the people he took such care of were like......"

"Now that you've seen it, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed." The Doctor suddenly smiled wryly, "To be honest, as grateful as I am, I still haven't figured out why your husband decided to sponsor our family after meeting once. ”

Just as the doctor was about to say something more, he suddenly noticed that his sleeve had been pulled by the lady next to him.

He turned his head, and found that Madame was making a glance at him, as if she wanted to say something to him.

He nodded apologetically to Fran and left the living room with his wife.

It wasn't until the couple disappeared from the doorway that Mary, who had been sitting beside Fran without saying a word, suddenly let out a sigh.

"You're kidding us!" She glanced at her friend with some trepidation, "If I had known you would play like this, I'd ...... I really wouldn't agree! ”

"Okay, don't worry, it'll be fine." Fran was still very calm, and took a sip of the coffee that had been cooled, "Since he has always kept this family secret, then this family will not know that I am saying anything wrong." ”

"That's not the problem at all!" Mary couldn't help but retort to her friend in a low voice, "You're too willful...... How can you curse Mr. to die like this? What if the gentleman knew? ”

"It's just a joke, he won't take it seriously." Fran finished the coffee in the cup, and then slowly put the coffee back on the plate, "Besides, even if something really happens, I am the one who is responsible, you don't have to worry." ”

"Hmph, it's strange that the gentleman doesn't get angry with me......" Mary sighed again, but still felt helpless at Fran, "all right, don't make a fuss...... Let's go back as soon as we say a few polite words, what else is there to ask? Obviously, Mr. just gave the family a gift on a whim, so he gave it to the family casually, since there is no such thing as a lover or a private affair, then what reason do we have to continue to find out? ”

"Go back? This is just the beginning......" Fran shook her head slightly, obviously disagreeing with Mary, "You said there was nothing to delve into, but I think there's more to get to the bottom of!" Think about it, with what you know about him, would he do such a meaningless thing? There are so many people in this world who deserve help, why should he help someone who is not related to him, or even his own country? There must be something hidden in this......"

Then, as if to say to her friend, as if to say to herself, she lowered her gaze slightly and whispered to herself, "I feel...... As long as I can dig into the deep meaning, then ...... Isn't this qiē very good......? ”

After a few moments, the Doctor and his wife returned to the living room, and Mary, who wanted to say something more, quickly stopped.

"I've heard your intentions just now, ma'am." The doctor bowed to Fran again, looking a little embarrassed, "But, to be honest, I don't know how to let you know...... Because, as I have already said, I still don't understand why your husband should be so kind to me......"

He and his wife also couldn't see that this beautiful new widow had any reason to deliberately run to the door to deceive herself, and then declared that she would continue to give money to her family, so he was naturally very friendly to the other party, and almost couldn't help it.

"So, can you tell me what he said to you when he came to you? You must have had a very speculative conversation to make him so appreciative of you, right? Fran asked curiously, "Please forgive me, because I just want to know more about my husband......

"I've been honestly saying it for years, and I've forgotten a lot of the details myself." The doctor smiled apologetically again, "But, contrary to what you might think, there was an argument not long after we met......"

"What's the noise?" Unable to be reserved, Fran hurriedly asked.

"Actually, it's just a battle of ideas, we just negotiated some opinions on each other, and we didn't attack each other." The doctor shrugged his shoulders, "I told him that in the future, with the great abundance of technology and productive capacity, society needs to distribute wealth more equitably, and those workers who create it will be more qualified to enjoy it." For this vision, workers across Europe should, and will certainly unite, to overthrow the existing unfair system, to put an end to the rule of capital and rentiers, to reform the high concentration of land, and to create a better tomorrow for humanity......"

What a rebellious rebellious word! Isn't this about guillotining us? Could it be that my brother even appreciates such words? After hearing this, Fran secretly lost color in her heart.

"So...... So what did he say? Fran asked in a trembling voice.

"Your husband does not disagree with all my opinions, but he thinks ...... My goal is unattainable. "He seems to think that the concept of nation is now more deeply rooted in the minds of the people, even if it is equally exploited, and that a French worker is not willing to stand with an English worker, and that, therefore, with a little incitement, they will fight each other under all kinds of slogans......"

That is to say, the elder brother agrees with some of his views, and does not think that there will be a general revolution in Europe, as this odious demagogue does?

So...... What does he mean? What does he want to do?

Fran thought to herself.

"Can you explain this in more depth?" (To be continued......)
