Blackstone Code Chapter 126: Conflict, disagreement, solution
When Katherine compared herself to a commodity, and even used words like "sell" to describe her mother's actions, the atmosphere in the room was depressing to the extreme.
Her father glanced at the woman who had been with him for more than 20 years, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and took the responsibility that he should not have shouldered.
There is a saying in Baylor Federation - "When you have to bow your head to life, don't be stingy to let your knees and forehead touch the ground".
This sentence may be a bit too pessimistic, but life is like this. Since you have chosen to compromise, then compromise thoroughly.
As a man who has lost his ability to become the backbone of the family, he has naturally realized that he has lost the power to control the family very quickly. In the face of a new generation of "dominators" and a secluded person who may change the status quo During the conflict between the "Raising Forces", he chose silence.
After being silent, Katherine's mother shook her head, "I didn't think so. I told you that Roma is a very good young man."
"He is a little older than you, but he knows how to feel bad for a girl. He has a stable job and an independent house. Isn't it good that you don't have to suffer like others?"
Her voice quickly changed from a faint, uncertain guilt to a tough one, and her voice gradually became louder.
Actually, from a certain point of view, Roma is indeed a very suitable marriage partner for some families, but this is only for certain families and only for certain people.
Catherine shook her head, "I never had hope for your choice. You've proven you wrong once, who knows if this will be the second time."
For the first time, it was naturally a question about Lynch. Of course, Catherine herself made mistakes, but this sentence made the woman who was full of remorse in her heart suddenly angry.
"I'm not the Lord, I can't see things so far away, all I know is that you really had a bad time in that situation. Am I doing something wrong for my daughter?"
Catherine shook her head, "Then why can't you be wrong a second time?" She said she didn't continue to give women a chance, grabbing the right to speak in a more peaceful, but also tougher way, "You guys Since I was a child, I was told not to sell my body for money, but today you have done a shameful act, I thought we would be a different family."
Speaking of which she stood up, and for the first time there was a look of disappointment on her face. Perhaps before most children realize the cruelty of reality, they will think that they and their families are different from the rest of the society. Families are fundamentally different.
This fantasy will be broken by their own hands until the day they recognize reality.
Catherine's words made the couple feel a very uncomfortable, conscience-based condemnation.
Living in such a neighborhood, what parents fear most is that their children go down the wrong road, but they themselves have set the most wrong example.
Catherine turned around and walked towards the entrance. It was almost dark outside. A girl who had no legitimate family would choose to leave the house and go to the street at this time, which made the couple suddenly nervous.
Catherine's mother quickly stood up and ran two steps to grab Catherine's wrist, "Where are you going?", followed by her emphasizing, "You can't go out!"
With a wave of Katherine's hand, she shook off her mother's arm. She glanced sideways at the woman and smiled, "Since you decided to sell me a good price, why not sell it for a higher price?"
The feeling of her speaking was a little scary, and the woman even forgot to stop her and watched her leave the house at this time.
On the other side, Lynch, who had just finished socializing, returned home. In the afternoon, Joe Grimman called him and told him that someone was interested in the land in his hand, and they could sit down and chat. chat.
He attended a dinner organized by Joe Grimman, but he was not at all interested in the people on the other side of the table and what they said.
Obviously, the other party may be looking at Joe Grimman's face or want to buy this land for some other reason. The other party only offered a price that was too low for Lynch to accept, one hundred and sixty Ten thousand.
The **** used a pompous tone and tone full of alms, wanting to buy the land at a ridiculously low price, as if what he did was a gift to Lynch.
In the face of this kind of person, Lynch will not be too polite with each other.
The rich experience made him understand a truth, those who look down on you now, even if you make a change, the other party will still look down on you, until you step on the other party's face and spit at him, He will put away the idea of despising you.
The more you do before this, the more it will be a guilty and worthless struggle and resistance in the eyes of the other party.
So Lynch directly terminated the dinner at the appropriate time, maintaining the most basic etiquette.
Joe Grimman also apologized to Lynch after the meal. He didn't know that the person he had found was the same as a fool. Of course, he also said that he would continue to find some suitable people for Lynch.
About eight o'clock, Lynch was ready to rest when the phone rang.
He was a little surprised. Very few people would call him at this time, but he still answered. The other end of the phone immediately heard a very familiar voice, Mr. Fox.
"Didn't you sleep?", Mr. Fox's voice is full of confidence and loud, he has been doing well recently, and his mental state is very good, "An old man like me will not go to bed so early, you missed the life So many wonderful things, Lynch friend."
Lynch laughed a few times and didn't continue the discussion on this topic. If there was no entertainment, he would basically go to bed earlier.
Sleep is a very "nourishing" process, and if it's just to waste time, it's unnecessary.
"Is something wrong?", he asked casually, he didn't think there would be anything wrong with Fox's phone call at this time, and most likely asked him to go out to relax.
From Lynch's brief laugh, Mr. Fox had a vague feeling that he was being watched by kind eyes again. He shook his head and threw this absurd idea out of his head, and talked about business, "You Know a girl named Katherine?"
"Someone was looking for you on the street at night, you know, I'm somewhat famous now, the kids told me about it, and I invited people, maybe you'll be interested in it ?"
Mr. Fox's business with Lynch is getting bigger and bigger. In addition, in order to restore his image in front of the public, the FBI and the IRS have swept up the money laundering dealers in Sabine City. It also expanded Mr. Fox's "site" many times.
There are more people at his service, including ordinary, serious employees, and some employees who wander the streets all day.
The collaboration between Mr. Fox and Lynch has become a classic case in the eyes of some who also know Lynch.
Later in the evening, a pretty girl found several young men who were clearly street forces on the street and asked if they knew Lynch or Mr. Fox, which made them wary.
They took the girl to Mr. Fox's side, because they didn't know who the girl was, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
Mr. Fox was not interested in his ex-girlfriend who had broken up when he investigated Lynch before, so he missed this knowledge point, and now I just want to make sure that Lynch knows this girl.
Hearing this, Lynch looked down at the ring on his little finger, smiled and sighed, "Arrange someone to send her to my house..."
After more than 20 minutes, the ex-boyfriends and girlfriends who had been separated for more than a month met again. There was not much embarrassment, but a trace of curiosity and exploration.
"It looks like you're doing well!" Catherine didn't express her remorse like an ordinary girl. She looked at the splendid villa and couldn't help but praise it.
Lynch was wearing casual clothes, he pouted, walked over to the bar and took out two cups, "Juice? Wine? Or coffee?" If you want coffee, you have to do it yourself."
"Some wine, I don't like coffee." Catherine turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room. The texture of the leather sofa and the full and elastic filling made her fondle a few times. , and patted, "Life is hard enough, why don't you let yourself relax?"
Lynch came over with two glasses, one for her and one for herself.
After a simple clink of glasses, each took a sip.
Maybe it's the psychological effects of alcohol~IndoMTL.com~Catherine was quick to explain, "I didn't expect you to get so fast, what's the trick?"
Lynch thought about it seriously, "If you want to tell me the trick...", with a very special smile on his face, and lowered his voice, "Actually, I am the illegitimate child of God, don't tell others ."
Catherine couldn't help laughing, smiled and sighed, took another sip of her wine, "You always like to joke..."
She suddenly closed her mouth when she said this, because this sentence made the atmosphere in the room a little sad, "I said something I shouldn't have said, and I apologize for it."
Lynch is very generous, "I forgive you."
The two looked at each other, somewhat unfamiliar, but somewhat familiar.
"My mother is going to sell me to a fool on the condition that my father gets a job."
"It's all for sale anyway, I think you'll give a higher price, right?"
