Marvel’s Princess Chapter 682: The Underwoods

 Bella's face showed an expression of being frightened by the bricks flying from the window. She covered her mouth, frowned, her eyes were gray, as if the past was too painful to look back on, Natasha secretly recalled He pinched her to remind her that her expression was a bit like that of a lost girl or an alcoholic girl, and it didn't look like she was being threatened by a brick.

Bella also felt that something was wrong, her brows gradually relaxed, and the deathly stillness in her eyes was replaced by fright, and she regained her emotions.

 The acting is indeed a bit exaggerated, but it doesn’t matter, this is not Hollywood, as long as the meaning is expressed.

Ivan the Great can give her a fright, and Mjolnir can make her run away in embarrassment, but Brick? forget it! There is no way this family is afraid of that thing.

 Claire Underwood asked in a casual tone: "Who could that be? Are they the demonstrators from California?"

 There is already a hint of confrontation in these words. In the final analysis, I still look down on the West Coast people, but it is just very subtle.

  Samantha also heard it, and she pushed back without mercy: "We can't call them protesters yet. Everything is unknown. After all, our husband and wife have been in the California judicial system for many years, and we will always attract a lot of trouble. We are used to revenge."

 Her words not only indicate that she has experienced big things, but also imply that the Underwoods have no substantial work experience and have spent their entire lives wandering around the palm-sized place of Washington.

 Claire Underwood immediately started complimenting her, telling some interesting things about the congressmen’s wives, and said many beautiful things to Bella over and over again. Even Natasha, who was pretending to be introverted, didn’t let go. The atmosphere can be said to be very good.

The Underwoods have never had children. The husband is serving as a member of the House of Representatives and a party whip to enforce discipline within the party, and the wife runs charity projects. According to the outside world, both of them are very busy, but internally they don’t know.

 The couple expressed their gratitude to Charlie's family for their warm hospitality, which was far from flattering, but the couple's attitude was relatively low-key.

 Eating at home is much more comfortable than a charity dinner, at least everyone can eat.

 The meal was a feast for both the guests and the host. Francis Underwood won the endorsement of the popular presidential candidate, and Bella also gave his wife, Claire Ann, who is responsible for the public welfare project "Purification Water Project" Mrs. Derwood donated fifty thousand dollars.

 Everyone seems to be satisfied.

 "That woman seems to be scolding us in her heart." Natasha asked Bella in a low voice while sending the Underwoods away and clearing away the dishes.

 "Be confident and remove the image. That woman is just scolding us in her heart." Bella said nonchalantly.

 She doesn’t feel much guilt about reading the minds of politicians.

 Natasha suddenly realized: "That old woman must have taken your money but didn't praise you, so you... hold a grudge? Do you want me to tear her throat out?"

 Bella rolled her eyes: "I'm not so petty, am I?"

 Natasha didn't say anything, just smiled "haha", which means you are just petty!

 The two said goodbye to Charlie soon, and they had their own house in Washington.

 While waiting for the traffic light on the road, Natasha said: "Charlie seems to be very concerned about Underwood's attitude."

 Bella nodded from the passenger seat: "Yeah, Underwood is a heavyweight in the Democratic Party, and his support is really important at this stage."

 “So what should we do if we don’t understand how politics works?”

 “So I have to ask him to come to Charlie quickly.”

 "What if he doesn't agree?"

 Bella smiled extremely confidently: "Believe me, he will agree."

 Natasha suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "What happened to the guy who threw the bricks?"

 Bella thought about it seriously, this fact was really not worth her effort to remember: "I remember...it seems to be in the Potomac River, right?"

 She pointed north to the Potomac River that separated Washington, D.C., and Virginia, as if the man had some relatives in the river.

  Natasha made a surprised expression, but actually she was not surprised at all: "Those people under your command did it? They were really rough!"

 “I remember he was a repeat drug addict, not a good person. This guy chased him all the way from California to Washington just to throw this brick? There must be follow-up revenge methods. Although we are not afraid, but suddenly It’s disgusting when it comes out. If you solve it as soon as possible, you can make a contribution to society.”

 "You wouldn't use such brutal methods to treat Congressman Underwood, would you?"

 “Of course not, I’m talking about the rules of the game.”

 “What if he doesn’t want to tell you the rules of the game?”

 "Then I will take him to see the nuclear bombs I have collected so hard. He has worked in the Capitol for twenty years. I bet he has never seen a nuclear bomb."

  ......

 Francis Underwood has indeed never seen a nuclear bomb. He is a veteran congressman and a typical politician. He has spent most of his life on various games in Congress.

  He understands all the rules of operation here. Charlie’s staff hopes that Charlie will bring Francis Underwood into his camp. This is a very wise decision because this is the third-ranking whip in the Democratic Party. I also have the intention to run for election.

 “Hillbilly!”

 “Lucky man!”

Francis Underwood does not have a daughter with a billionaire, let alone live in an unknown town for 16 years. He works hard and has great ambitions, and he will not accept those who are not worth his money. He doesn't have much savings, he has been a member of the House of Representatives for twenty years, and he still lives in a townhouse.

This housing condition is definitely not bad in Washington, but compared with Charlie's detached villa, this kind of townhouse that shares walls with neighbors and is even required by the property management to use the same appearance door lock as the neighbor is really too Too crude.

 His wife was very calm and had short hands. She looked over the check signed by Bella again and again, looking very satisfied.

  "You are so rich. Did you see the look in that lady's eyes? That's a kind of..." Claire Underwood considered her words: "That's a kind of money that I clearly want to give to you, But in order to take care of your self-esteem, I concealed my true thoughts."

 Claire Underwood took off her high heels, sat on the sofa, and picked up a cigarette.

 "What are you going to do? Confrontation or cooperation?" She lit a cigarette, crossed her legs, and asked her husband in a low voice.

 "Rights are like real estate. Location is everything. The closer you are to the center of power, the more valuable the property is." Francis Underwood did not answer his wife's question directly.

 His hands were supporting the table, and he seemed to be very firm, but the twinkling eyes showed that he was actually a little hesitant.
