Lin Youde took the fox's hand and went down the stairs into the hall in front of the door.

Xia Li was already waiting there.

Lin Youde said in surprise: "Miss Xia Li, don't you change your dress?" ”

"I'm going there as a guard today," Xia Li seemed to have expected Lin Youde to ask like this, and replied very briskly, "As a guard, I wear the same gorgeous dress as the ladies attending the ball, which is not in accordance with the rules. ”

"It's a pity, I thought I would have the privilege of seeing Miss Xia Li's dress up today."

Xia Li smiled at Lin Youde and said, "You can always see it in the future, after all, I'm not like your new favorite who prefers military uniforms, I still like beautiful skirts, especially aqua blue." ”

"It turns out that Miss Xia Li likes aqua blue," Lin Youde glanced at the dress given by Xia Li on the fox, and the color matching was indeed blue, "Then I design a set of aqua blue dresses for you, you should accept it, right?" ”

"Of course, I don't hate gifts." Xia Li smiled at Lin Youde again, "What's more, the dress you designed is quite popular among the girls in Paris, and several of my friends do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy it." They'll probably be wearing the costly dresses you've bought for tonight's ball. ”

"Are those friends of yours pretty?" Lin Youde did not hesitate to show his true nature, while Xia Li smiled and said nothing.

She turned around and walked towards the door, and after pushing the door open, she turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Youde: "It's not too early, let's go." ”

**

Although Lin Youde himself lived in the former royal garden, the lavish Cheng dù of the former Bourbon palace occupied by the Bonaparte family still made Lin Youde breathtaking.

When Lin Youde arrived, the ball was still being prepared, and the guests who had already arrived were chatting in the hall outside the ballroom where the ball was scheduled to be held. The splendid crystal chandeliers, the portraits hanging all over the walls, the carpets and curtains that are worth a lot at first glance, and the golden candlesticks that can be seen everywhere make Lin Youde sigh that he is like a poor egg living in Sanssouci Palace.

Waiters weave among the guests who arrive first, trays of wine and snacks in their hands, and men and women who are talking casually enjoy these delicious food and wine.

Looking at this scene, people who do not know the situation will never think that this country is on the precipice of economic crisis.

"You know, I remembered an old poem." Lin Youde whispered to the fox in Chinese.

The fox smiled: "I know which sentence you remember." ”

At this time, a burly figure stood in front of Lin Youde, in terms of the figure of a Frenchman, the middle-aged man who blocked Lin Youde's way was a little too burly, and his beard made him full of the aura of a bandit. What does not match this aura is that when he speaks, he is completely gentlemanly.

"Mr. Lin, look up for a long time. I am Jean, Minister of Finance of the Government of the French Republic? Renault. ”

Of course, Lin Youde had an impression of this name, and before he left for France, he specially wrote down the identity information of important officials in various departments of the French government.

At that time, he was still complaining in his heart about whether the finance minister should be able to break into Godzilla's lair alone, and still drive the taxi into Godzilla's mouth and drive out safely, right?

Now that we meet, this guy doesn't seem to have much to do with the French action movie star from another time and space - I should say, there's nowhere else that people associate the two of them with the same name.

"Hello, Mr. Renault." Lin Youde held the hand that made Renault stretch out, "Look up for a long time." ”

Then the two of them talked about some innocuous topics such as "Is the food in Paris still palatable?", and then the Frenchman picked out the subject: "Mr. Lin, I have heard Miss Christina say that you are unaware of the actions of the Jews and that you are a victim, and I have some ...... about this It's hard to believe. Because you have always been a genius in business and finance in my mind, it is as if Mercury had been born, and your ......"

The French guy glanced at the fox, it seemed that he wanted the fox to come out by himself to help him overdo this paragraph, after all, the fox is not Lin Youde's wife in name, but the fox gave birth to Lin Youde's child, this kind of formal conversation is not good to call the fox mistress directly, but it is not good to call it anything else, so he simply kicked the ball to the fox and let her say a title by herself, so as to avoid embarrassment.

The fox, of course, understood what the French meant, and she smiled and said, "Sexual partner, Mr. Reynaud." ”

The poor Minister of Finance looked embarrassed, and the fox's vulgar answer obviously caught him off guard.

Lin Youde felt that now he had to pretend to be cheated by the Jews like the French, and it was not good to embarrass the brothers and sisters like this, so he came forward and forcibly took the question to continue the topic: "It's true that I have a little business talent, but that doesn't mean that I have the ability to read minds, how could I know that Jews would suddenly play this game?" ”

The French had an expression of something to say, but Lin Youde didn't give him a chance, and continued: "Of course, my intelligence department has been collecting economic intelligence from all over the world, including France's. When I checked the records of some of the more prominent Jewish speculators of the past year, I found some clues, and my intuition told me that the Jews were planning some great action, but my reason did not trust my intuition, for I had no conclusive evidence that the Jews were going to do something. ”

The French were silent for a while, trying to speak several times, but did not speak.

At this moment, the door to the ballroom on the other side of the hall slowly opened, and the master of ceremonies came out and said to the guests, "Ladies and gentlemen, the ball is ready, please enter." ”

**

According to the etiquette of the ball, the first dance was led by the male and female hosts and the male and female guest of honor, so Lin Youde put his arms around the fox and turned a whole dance on the dance floor. In the second piece, the male and female hosts and the male and female guests have to swap dance partners, so Lin Youde put his arm around Christina's waist and continued to circle on the dance floor to the beat.

From such a close distance, it is clear that Christina is indeed old, and traces of makeup can be clearly seen on her face, which is very different from the natural pie of the fox who only looks at the lipstick on the lower eyebrows.

In addition, there is also the touch of the chest, although Christina's career line looks very strong, but her chest occasionally touches Lin Youde's chest when dancing, which makes Lin Youde, who is used to the elasticity of the fox and Sissi, feel bored.

It is precisely because of the fact that he is dancing with an old woman that this dance music is simply a torture for Lin Youde.

On the other side, Raymond, the fox and Christina's nephew? Bonaparte circled together in the music. Christina often makes her handsome nephew act as the male host, and there are many rumors about this, but Christina doesn't seem to care about it.

Raymond stared at the fox's face and exclaimed sincerely, "Miss Matsudaira, your beauty directly captured me. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm Miss Lin now."

"Aren't you officially married to Mr. Lin yet?" Raymond smiled, that smile was full of charm, and the girl with a strong nymphomaniac attribute was probably knocked down directly.

"But I already have his child."

"A beautiful lady like you, no one will mind if you have children."

The fox smiled at him and did not answer.

Next, Raymond used his beauty hunting expertise to launch waves of verbal attacks on the fox, and that skill could make Lin Youde, who couldn't talk at all and only had yellow jokes, embarrassed. And the fox just responded to his words just right, and he was free to advance and retreat.

Raymond saw that this would not work, so he decisively changed direction.

"Miss Chihiro, I have a question, did you value Mr. Lin's talent when you were with Mr. Lin, or were you attracted by his ideas?"

"Do you really want to know the answer?" The fox asked rhetorically with a smile.

"Of course."

"Then I'll sue you," said the fox, leaning forward, leaning closer to Raymond, and whispering, "he's eighteen centimeters underneath." ”

"What did you say?" Raymond was confused, as if suspecting that he had misheard.

So the fox cried out, "Eighteen centimeters below my man!" ”

This time, everyone in the audience was shocked.

The band was very dedicated, and many of the female musicians raised their heads in surprise, but the playing in their hands did not stop. But the people on the dance floor stopped following the beat of the music and looked at the fox.

The fox forcibly spun Raymond with his body as if nothing had happened, his footsteps still accurately treading the beat of the music. As she turned, she said in a voice that only the nearest couple of men and women could hear: "Even if you are so small, you dare to come to the old lady, you feel too good about yourself, right?" ”

The expressions on the faces of the couples who heard the fox's words were very peculiar.

The guests who were a little farther away saw this situation, although their expressions were all inexplicable, but they still began to dance to the beat of the music again - at this time, the hostess and the guests of honor were still dancing, and they could not help but give face to these four people.

Lin Youde's side was full of black lines, and he said in his heart, fox, you remember it for me, after this dance party, I want more than one Dagenlin's nickname, and I have to settle accounts with you.

At this time, Christina asked, "Mr. Lin, are you ...... Well, Chihiro-san really likes to do something maverick. ”

Lin Youde muttered in his heart, this thing was desperate to ask at first: "Do you really have eighteen centimeters?" ”

Absolutely, yes.

Well, my nephew is a merry boy, and he is not far behind being an aunt, no wonder I heard all day long that there was a scandal in the first consul of France. It seems that the statement that this old woman has dozens of mistresses is not necessarily groundless.

Lin Youde pretended not to know what the old woman wanted to ask, so he danced until the end of this song.
