She Is Not a Witch Chapter 78: Yellow and green two-color camellia

　　 "Miss Lacie, I don't know what you mean."

　　 Mei Lu spoke, still thinking about avoiding the important and neglecting. Many of these things could not be decided by her as the eldest daughter, even Patriarch Fawth did not dare to promise now.

　　 Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the Hellis family is one of the Hopland’s five major chambers of commerce. It is very powerful, but only she knows that the interior of the Hellis family has gradually divided, and the master’s family has gradually lost control of the overall situation. , Standing in line at this time will only make this internal gap bigger and bigger.

　　 It's not that she didn't know what Lorrain Hill meant, but she just couldn't speak.

　　 "More than ten years ago, Calides and Hellis were fighting over the spice trade. Did you know this?" Lorrain Hill looked at the fire in the fireplace, the wood was burning quietly, occasionally There was a slight crackling sound.

　　 "I probably know a little bit." Mei Lu seemed to have thought of something, her face a little unnatural.

　　" At that time, Lord Angus was willing to put aside prejudices and conflicts in consideration of future development, and took a step back and gave up the spice industry in the southern islands. The previous generation of Hellis patrons also voted for their rewards and put their own tree farms. Transferred to some estates. In this way, the two sides put aside their prejudices, helped each other, and finally consolidated their market and position in the alliance."

　　" But no one thought that the always loyal Hellis family set up a bureau for the Patriarch of Calites, trying to use a child of his own to obtain the inheritance of Calites and split the chamber of commerce. ."

　　 "Does Miss Meilu know about this?" At this point, Lorrain Hill slowly raised his head and looked at the Hellis parent and daughter on the opposite side again.

　　 "I...I probably know something." Looking at Lorrain Hill's stunning blue eyes, she could only admit bitterly.

　　 This incident was really done by the Hollis family, and the reconciliation afterwards has not been told to Angus. Ten years have passed since I thought, Angus is no longer there, everything is over. Who would think that the new Patriarch of the Calites still knew the truth?

　　"Uncle Serres was the last time he was a coachman today and sent me to visit him. After tomorrow, he will quit his job at home and go to the south to provide for the elderly and never come back."

　　 Lorrain Hill continued to talk about something that seemed to have nothing to do with it, but Meilu understood that this meant that all the behavior and weakness of their Hollis family had long been seen through by this young lady.

　　Is there no way out? Mei Lu looked down at the cup, scattered green tea leaves slowly flowing in the cup, and then sinking to the bottom of the cup.

　　 Recalling the childhood scene, everything resembles yesterday, when the grandfather was still alive, and the uncles in the family gathered together, often eating together, talking to each other about where there are new raw materials recently and which route The profit margin is good, and which new product is popular with everyone is very lively.

　　 As the eldest daughter in her family, she often entertains the younger brothers and sisters, taking them to play, read books, and fly kites. Uncles often praise her and bring her gifts from all parts of the Xuehua Seven Kingdoms. It was also the happiest time for her.

　　 But with the death of my grandfather, everything has gradually become bad since my father took over. When my father came up, he messed up a few projects. Uncles were dissatisfied with grievances, so they gradually stopped observing the orders of the master, and his father felt that he was not this piece of material, and began to indulge himself, indulge in enjoyment, and stop worrying about family affairs. , So much so that she has been making decisions in recent years.

　　 But she is just a daughter, and her seniority and seniority can't overwhelm those uncles. Even the brothers and sisters who have known each other before become cold and sometimes conflicted.

　　As the heat slowly dissipated, the tea in the cup gradually became cooler, and the tea leaves no longer fluttered, just like stagnant water. Meilu raised her head and said in a low voice.

　　 "I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey, now the Hollis family is not qualified to be your ally."

　　 "Why do you say that?"

　　"Maybe it is still the gorgeously blooming camellia, but the branches under the petals have long been separated. I can only represent one of them. The interior of the Hollis family has long been divided."

　　 "According to the law, your main family still holds more than 50% of the shares." Lorraine Hill was not disappointed.

　　"That’s just legal. The trade unions of the Wilga Business Union are not like the kings of the kingdom. They have so much power. Most of them are local self-government. Most of the members of the Hopland branch come from us. The five major chambers of commerce, how restrictive they are in managing themselves."

　　 "But you still have more than 50% de jure shares, this is indisputable justice." Lorraine Hill repeated again, eyes shining on the fire, as if flames were burning in it.

　　 "I understand, but..."

　　 "But don't you dare to get back what belongs to you?" Lorrain Hill interrupted Meru's words.

　　"But can you watch your family fall apart in your generation?"

　　"Waiting there will be no results~IndoMTL.com~Lorraine Hill puts the tea cup on the table.

　　" After taking back the rights and everything, your relatives and uncles may have a big fight and resentment, but they still have to rely on you, and there will still be times when they will sit together again. The family property is already in the wrong place, but it will be more afraid of your future recovery, which will cause darker thoughts and thoughts."

　　 "Meiro, you don't want to see the worst result."

　　 "I..."

　　 Mei Lu looked at the dreamy girl in a black dress in front of her. She admonished like an angel and bewitched like a demon. For a while, she was speechless.

　　 Lorraine Hill did not ask Mei Lu to answer immediately. She knew that the change in concepts and habits would take time to digest.

　　 Then she stood up, walked to the fireplace, took off the teapot roasting by the fire, and then helped Mei Lu and her cup to refill the boiling tea.

　　 Mei Lu sat quietly on the sofa, watching the hot tea leaning out of the pot, tracing an arc, rising white mist, and then flowing into the white gold-rimmed porcelain cup. The sunken tea leaves rolled in the hot water again, the light green tea leaves in the amber liquid, like a small boat undulating in the stormy sea.

　　Helis, yellow-green two-color camellia, blooms in winter and spring, with abundance of flowers, dignified and elegant.

　　"Only camellia is very durable, and the deep moon alone can occupy the spring breeze."-Ju Qiqi (Song·Zeng Ji raccoon) rhyme with the east

　　 "I see, Master Lacey, can you give me some time?"

　　 Mei Lu raised her head and looked at Lorraine Hill with a relieved smile. In the light of the fire, her long chestnut blond hair reflected a faint light.
