"You are living frugally! Come on, I always thought you were good at managing money. Why are you tightening your belt now? It's not necessary! As far as I know, you still have some savings. You are rich, much better off than me!"
"You little rascal, are you investigating me? I went way over budget this month. The violin I bought for Mr. Zhan is just as good as yours, but he only noticed your gift and praised you by name. I was really hurt at that time!"
I looked at Mrs. Marina with a distressed expression as she spoke, and for a moment I didn't understand what she was trying to express!
Watching her panic and cover her mouth with her hand, she muttered, "Damn it, I promised not to say it, but I can never keep my mouth shut. My old problem has come back!" Suddenly, the conversation turned back to me, and she asked me what I wanted to talk to her about.
I was taken aback by her nervous expression and started our conversation topic.
"Mrs. Marina, are you close with Mrs. Trelawney?" I asked quietly.
"Paris In this circle, there are only these people. These days, you have also had a lot of contact and visited many people. You know just as much as I do! Why are you suddenly asking me about her?" Mrs. Marina looked puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that I danced with Mrs. Trelawney that night and thought she was nice, so I was just asking casually!" I quickly found an excuse to avoid arousing her suspicion.
"I saw you dancing with her, you two danced really well, it was so uplifting and enviable! You don't know that you offended her little lover, maybe she will cause trouble for you. You'd better try to avoid contact with Mrs. Trelawney as much as possible these days."
"Oh, her little lover? What's going on?"
"She's not someone an ordinary person can afford to provoke. The boy's father is Mr. Zhan's superior. Think about it, who would dare to offend his status and position? Even Mr. Zhan would have to give him some respect."
"What kind of personality does he have, is he overbearing and domineering?"
"Arrogant and domineering, definitely. It's a common problem among the wealthy aristocrats. The key is that he is inconsistent. He doesn't take anything that money can solve seriously. Sometimes you can't figure him out, and everything related to him seems to be a mix of truth and lies, which is puzzling. With his high status and influence, people don't talk behind his back, fearing unnecessary trouble for themselves."
"Thanks for telling me this in time, otherwise I would still be in the dark. There are many events recently, and I'm bound to run into Mrs. Trelawney. Out of politeness, I still have to exchange a few words with her. Looks like I need to be more careful in the future."
"Quick, drink the coffee, or it will go to waste. I made it just for you!"
"I'm just curious how they started, I'm quite nosy, aren't I? I hope I'm not bothering you! I won't let you waste your time tonight just talking to me! Look, I've prepared something for you, open it quickly and see!"
"Wow, this bracelet is so beautiful, it's exactly my type. You really understand my taste!" Marina said as she kissed my cheek to show her gratitude.
It turns out that this young man actively pursued Mrs. Trelawney, sparing no expense to win the heart of the beauty. Despite their significant age difference, he still succeeded, which gives me even more confidence in myself.
Taliesin's lover is named YeluFu (nickname Fu), from this moment I officially challenge him. The stronger my rival, the stronger I am.
