"Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you two brothers and sisters." The old man put down his crutches, his face red with anger.
Originally, there was a birthday party tomorrow, and the whole family should be happy to reunite, but for some reason, seeing Erwin and Sonia made her whole body angry.
"By the way, didn't I ask you to bring Christine and the person you thought you were going to bring with you?" The old man calmed down a little and asked Erwin.
At this time, Erwin did not dare to speak carelessly anymore, and said seriously, "They will set off later, and they will probably arrive soon."
"Who is Christine?" Luo Quan asked his father in a low voice.
"She is your fourth uncle's ex-wife. Your fourth uncle also has an eight-year-old daughter named Kalina."
"This must be my niece who is the most beautiful woman in the world." Erwin leaned over and looked at Luo Quan with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle Erwin." Luo Quan nodded obediently.
Erwin touched his whole body with an embarrassed look on his face, "Look, I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare any gifts for you, my niece. I will make up for it next time."
Sonia disdained "Speak as if you have something to offer."
Erwin retorted, "Then what gift have you prepared for your niece?"
Sonia couldn't take it anymore, so she prepared a gift for her old father when she came back this time. She didn't even consider the nephews and nieces.
The same goes for Erwin, but if he can mention this, at least he has a heart.
While they were chatting, the old man's two remaining children also arrived with their families.
The second son Andre, his wife and son, and the third daughter Eve and her daughter.
Six people walked in together.
"Everyone is here." The second eldest brother, Andre, was very tall, about 1.8 meters tall, with a loud voice and a calm demeanor.
The third child, Eve, was taciturn. After coming in, she took her daughter to the fifth sister and just looked at everyone quietly.
In this instant, Luo Quan understood the family's personalities and relationships.
"Everyone is here." The old man's tone also changed a bit at this time, full of the majesty of the head of the family.
"All the company's affairs have been taken care of," the old man asked Andre.
"I've left it to the secretary for the time being. I haven't been busy recently. I'm mainly helping the government allocate refugee resettlement houses. All parties want to get in and make money. It's not particularly easy to handle."
Luo Quan's eyes twitched, and he thought to himself, is it really okay to tell such a secret directly like this?
"This is the eldest brother's daughter, Luo Quan." Andre suddenly looked at Luo Quan, and Luo Quan met her hastily, his body trembling.
"Calm down your eyes, don't scare people," Luo Quan's second aunt slapped her husband on the shoulder and scolded.
Andre quickly scratched his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I stayed with the employees in the company for too long, and I brought all my favorites to my home. Don't be offended by my eldest niece."
"It's okay, it's okay." Luo Quan waved his hands hurriedly, thinking that his second uncle was so powerful, and he stared at her so hard for a month that she could hardly speak.
At the same time, Luo Ni gently squeezed her husband's arm from an angle that no one could see.
The latter understood, walked to Andre's side and said with a smile, "Second brother, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We must drink more later."
Andre smiled, "Of course it's no problem. I've been missing you, big brother, all these years."
The old man frowned slightly, but finally said nothing.
In the hall, the atmosphere seemed to have become somewhat solidified. Even Luo Quan, who had always been carefree, could tell that his father and second uncle probably had something going on.
"Dad, this is the latest product developed by our company. It is unavailable in the world. I specially brought a box as your birthday gift." Eve suddenly broke the slightly solemn atmosphere. She took out a box from her handbag. He took out a medicine box the size of a tablet computer and handed it to his father.
The medicine box is exquisitely packaged, with "eden" printed on the surface, which means Garden of Eden.
"What's the effect?" The old man picked it up and looked through it. Except for "eden", he didn't see any description of the effect.
"The main purpose is to enhance immunity and anti-aging. The effect is better than any similar products on the market, and the side effects are very small." Eve said in a very confident tone.
"Can it fight cancer?" the old man mentioned casually, and then sighed after speaking.
His beloved died of cancer, so he is very obsessed with this aspect.
When Eve heard this, her expression froze, and then she immediately understood and said, "Cancer is the most difficult problem to overcome in the entire history of human medicine. Currently, only a very small number of cancers can be prevented in advance. Others can only be prevented." Regular examinations and genetic screening for targeted prevention are recommended.
However, our company is currently vigorously researching in this field, and maybe we will be able to produce cancer prevention drugs in a few years. "
"Is there any prevention against AIDS?"
It was originally a rather serious occasion, but Erwin managed to break everyone's guard with just one sentence.
Several juniors burst into laughter.
"I, I" swear to God, if the old man had a knife in his hand, he would risk his life to trade with this unscrupulous descendant.
Fortunately, we are all a family here, so no ridiculous things can be spread.
If he waits until all his friends and relatives come tomorrow, and then makes these jokes, his reputation will be completely destroyed.
"Fourth brother, can't you be more serious?" Eric had always had a good temper in front of his younger brothers and sisters, but this time he couldn't stand it anymore and yelled loudly.
After being yelled at by his elder brother, Erwin could only bow his head no matter how naughty he was.
Unexpectedly, his father spoke well. Luo Quan was thoughtful and looked at his second uncle from the corner of his eye. The latter seemed to be thinking about something when he saw this scene.
After a while, the last two people in the family finally arrived, namely the fourth uncle's ex-wife and daughter. They walked in under the leadership of Butler Wai Barry.
The fourth uncle who was still "talking and laughing" in the front suddenly stopped smiling and took his hand out of his pocket.
Kristine led her daughter to Erwin. The daughter looked at her father and shouted, "Daddy."
"Daughter." Erwin touched his daughter's head, his eyes full of doting.
In fact, Karina is already fourteen years old, but Erwin still treats her like a child.
Let's go to the back garden. Our family finally got together and had a good chat today.
With that said, he walked towards the back garden on crutches.
The adults have something to say with each other, and the juniors are playing with the juniors not far away.
After chatting with his younger brothers and sisters, Luo Quan discovered that he was actually the eldest one.
The second uncle's son, Stukat, is as old as Leon this year and has just turned eighteen.
Third aunt's daughter Mia, fifteen.
Fourth uncle’s daughter Kalina, fourteen.
Karina's personality is very similar to that of her third aunt. She is taciturn. I don't know if it's because she doesn't get along with these cousins often, so she is a little shy.
Mia is quite similar to her fifth aunt, she is very familiar with her, and she is very close to her two brothers Leon and Stuckett. As soon as she got here, she pulled them to sit together and chat.
Luo Quan listened for a while, nothing more than the things and gossip she encountered in school, and then asked Leon many things about the American entertainment industry.
After listening to it for a long time, Luo Quan felt that he couldn't make a conversation, so he sat aside and played with his mobile phone with his head buried in his head.
"Sister Luo Quan, why don't you go over and play with Brother Stuckart and Sister Mia." Kalena sat over at some point.
Although this little girl is only fourteen years old, her eyebrows are frighteningly beautiful, and she is a complete beauty.
Luo Quan smiled and said, "Sister, I don't know much about the entertainment industry, and I don't have much to say."
Karina was confused, "I remember, isn't sister Luo Quan a big star like brother Leon? I used to see you two often in newspapers and magazines."
"A star is a star, but I usually just release songs and don't get involved in the gossip news in the entertainment industry.
Besides, I spend most of my time in China, which is different from where Lyon develops. "
"Sister Luo Quan's songs are very nice. I like every one of them. In order to listen to your Chinese songs, I even learned Chinese.
But Chinese is so difficult, it took me a long time to get started. "
Luo Quan suddenly became interested, "Can you tell me a few words?"
"Have friends come from afar"
Karina's Chinese characters are correct and round, and her pronunciation of the word "乐" is "yue", which is even better than many Chinese people.
Many people who have not studied the Analects of Confucius and enjoy reading them actually use e.
Even Luo Quan, before he went to elementary school, read e when he saw this passage.
Luo Quan praised, "Your reading is very standard, much better than Leon's."
How long have you been studying?”
"It should be almost half a year," Karina said seriously.
"Half a year" Luo Quan's mouth opened wide, "It only takes half a year to reach this level."
For foreigners, especially Westerners, Chinese is definitely one of the most difficult languages to learn.
First of all, Chinese is an ideogram, and English is a phonetic script. They are two completely different systems.
Moreover, the pronunciation of Chinese is far more complicated than that of English, so if foreigners learn Chinese by themselves, it would be good to be able to get started in half a year.
But someone like Karina is no beginner. Her pronunciation is more correct than that of many foreigners who have lived in China for many years, and her pronunciation is better than that of Junko.
"You are very talented in language learning. Let me ask you, how many foreign languages do you know?"
Karina thought for a while, "I didn't write it down carefully, it must be a lot."
“As many as you want”
Kalina took out her phone and pulled up the world map. She first drew a circle in Europe, then went west and drew a big circle in Arabia. Then she continued going west and drew a circle in East Asia and North Asia. Finally, It's North America.
"I can basically speak some of the mainstream languages in these areas." Karina said modestly.
"My mother-in-law." Luo Quan's scalp felt numb when he looked at it.
What is the concept of a fourteen-year-old girl who can learn the languages of so many regions and countries?
She relied on systematic instillation of knowledge and now has mastered less than ten foreign languages.
There are nearly twenty countries in Europe alone that Karina has circled.
Although almost all the languages here come from the same lineage and have similarities, in any case, they are actually more than 20 languages.
This can no longer be described as a genius, but as a monster.
"Karena, apart from language, are there any other areas where you are outstanding?"
"No more." Kalena shook her head.
"What a pity." Luo Quan sighed. It seemed that Karina's evil side was limited to her talent in linguistics.
Although this is already very good, it is actually a bit tasteless.
However, Luo Quan, who lowered his head and sighed, did not see the glint in Kalina's eyes.
Her evil cousin was not as innocent and kind as she appeared to be.
Among the five juniors, she and Leon were probably the only ones so silly and sweet.
Over there, Leon was chatting with his younger brothers and sisters, and unknowingly revealed his experiences over the years, including his living conditions with his father over the years.
Luo Quan's side was similar. He seemed to sympathize with Karina and her similar experiences, so he was very involved in the conversation.
After a while, the details of the siblings were revealed.
Fortunately, Luo Quan was not an idiot after all, and after chatting for a long time, he discovered something was wrong.
But she didn't know what was wrong for the time being, mainly because she had no defense against Kalina at all.
What should a fourteen-year-old girl be prepared for?
Furthermore, she herself has no secrets except the system. In fact, most of her individuals have either been dug out by the media or fans, or exposed by herself. If you want to know more about her life, just search Luo Quan on Baidu. , you can even see her measurements on the encyclopedia.
After Luo Quan found out at that time, he kept contacting Baidu to make changes here, but after the changes were completed there, they would change back soon.
There is no way, Baidu entries are filled in by the public. Unless her entry is completely banned, someone will always fill it in.
In short, although Luo Quan noticed something was wrong, he didn't go out of his way to hide anything.
Anyway, Kalina would tell her whatever she wanted to know, and it wasn’t anything valuable anyway.
The two siblings are being teased here, and the adults are also fighting over each other.
The old man was sitting on a lounge chair, with his five children and a group of daughters-in-law and sons-in-law sitting around him.
Before the guy's buttocks were warmed up, Andre asked, "Brother, how long do you plan to play when you return to England this time?"
"Just a few days to play. I have been traveling around the world with your sister-in-law for the past six months, which is considered a honeymoon." Eric said and held Luo Ni's hand, who also smiled sweetly.
"After celebrating my father's birthday, I'll visit my mother, then visit some of my good friends in London, and then I'll probably go back to the United States."
Andre smiled and said, "You have been managing the American branch in name only, but I have a more suitable person for the vice president. Do you mind if I change it?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several brothers and sisters changed.
