"Just remove me from the church! Just in time I can join a bigger church!"
In the living room, Mrs. Maggie hugged the sobbing Pippi tightly and shouted loudly: "What truth, it's just some deceptive tricks!"
Jacob clenched his fists and glared at her, gritting his teeth.
at this time....
Suddenly a man's deep voice came from upstairs.
"Maggie, who are you arguing with?"
With the creaking sound of the stairs, a man wearing a crisp suit walked into the living room. His well-tailored vest and shirt clung to his body softly, and his exquisite one-word mustache was slightly curled. He looked like he was walking on the streets of a wealthy area. gentleman.
"Gilbert, it's none of your business!" cried Lady Maggie.
The man named Gilbert glanced around the living room, and finally his eyes fell on Pippi, and suddenly grinned: "Even if you didn't say it, I would have heard it upstairs... Maggie, this is just a dog That’s all, there’s no need to cause such a big conflict with the neighbors because of it, I’ve advised you before not to keep it around.”
"Mr. Jacobs, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Gilbert Wilkin, brother of Maggie's late husband."
Gilbert stretched out his hand and shook Jacob's hand: "Actually, I have always supported you. As a pioneer on the road of love, you are very respectable."
"Ah...well, thank you."
Jacob, who was confused about the situation, nodded. He was in a mess and couldn't really say anything.
"This is my business card. If there is an opportunity, we can cooperate."
Gilbert handed business cards to everyone in the living room, and even Yunia got one.
[Ross Marine Co., Ltd., Gilbert Wilkin, 72 Ross Avenue]
A simple business card only has the company name, name and mailing address, but no other information.
but....
Ma Wei had heard of Ross Marine, a company that had cooperated with Gray Wolf Dino. After the declaration of naval war was issued three years ago, merchant ships from various countries without the threat of privateers ushered in a golden age, and they were all prosperous. When the water rises, Ross Marine is also one of the beneficiaries.
Three years ago, once such a fat sheep was targeted by a privateer, it would never be able to escape.
After putting away the business cards, Ma Wei and others left Mrs. Maggie's house. The negotiation broke down and there was no need for them to stay.
When he returned home, Jacob's face was gloomy, his cheeks kept twitching, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"Father, what should we do now?"
He asked: "It seems that that bitch Maggie Kris will not give up Miss Maggie to me. She must find another way."
"I...do have a solution."
"Really?!" Jacob's eyes suddenly brightened: "What can I do? Father, please tell me!"
"In the final analysis, Mrs. Maggie's unwillingness to give up Pippi is still due to interests."
Ma Wei took off his hat, dusted it off, and put it back on: "For her, Pippi is an excellent tool to get in touch with the upper class. Miss Maggie, who has lost her husband, wants to stop worrying about the rest of her life. , she needs to find a reliable husband, and it is obvious that she has set her sights on those wealthy gentry and nobles."
"You're right..." Jacob said with deep approval: "She really thinks so. Everyone in the whole South Street knows her little thoughts! With her beauty, every night She dresses up beautifully and then goes to other people’s dances to socialize and socialize. If any noble man takes a fancy to her, he will definitely be blind!"
"Speaking of..."
Suddenly, Mawei remembered the newspaper he read at noon: "I saw in the newspaper that Mrs. Maggie is recruiting tenants recently. Wasn't there a man living in her house before?"
"You are talking about the pharmacist Giuseppe Diaz!" Jacob replied: "He did rent at Maggie Kris's house before, but just yesterday, Maggie Kris I don’t know why Silk went so crazy, but she actually kicked someone out! What a big joke. You know Pharmacist Giuseppe has never been late in paying rent, so where can you find such a good tenant!"
"Well, let's get back to the topic. My method is very simple. Since Maggie Chris wants to rely on Pippi to get acquainted with nobles and gentry, then you might as well take advantage of this and buy a Yorkshire terrier and train it well. After a while, he entered the ball, vigorously promoted his dog, and after attracting the attention of the nobles and gentry, he used it to make an exchange with Madam Maggie... This is called using magic to defeat magic."
"Oh...I thought you were talking about something..."
Jacob lowered his head and sighed: "I have thought of this method before, but I am different from Maggie Chris. First, I have no identity, and second, I have no background. I am just a brewer in a small workshop. I don't even have the door to the dance. If you can’t even get in, how can you promote dogs?”
"You can't get in, but someone can get in."
"Huh?" Jacob raised his head suddenly: "Father, what do you mean..."
"You just go buy a Yorkshire terrier and come back and I'll do the rest."
"Father..."
Jacob looked at the man in front of him with some emotion, and said incoherently: "I...I'm just an ordinary worker. I can't create any value for the church. Why do you..."
"People must keep their promises."
Ma Wei whistled to summon a carriage: "You have proved that you and Miss Maggie are in love with each other, so I, who accepted this commission, have the responsibility to clear the obstacles for you. This is my principle, and Value has nothing to do with it, and..."
Ma Wei carried Yunia into the carriage, and after sitting firmly, he said: "Mr. Jacob, you really should stop drinking. Please don't forget the vows you made in the church. People who break their vows at will cannot be trusted." of."
In the cold wind, Jacob stared blankly at the carriage's retreating figure. He suddenly took off his soft hat, pressed it firmly on his chest, and bowed deeply:
"From now on, I, Jacob Valentine, will never drink... truth first."
.............................
"Dad, why did Pippi choose Mr. Jacob instead of Mrs. Maggie?"
On the carriage heading to Ross Avenue, Yunia asked: "Obviously Mrs. Maggie is its owner..."
"Masters are not necessarily good, just like some people are not worthy of being parents."
While stroking Xiao Hei, Ma Wei said: "In the eyes of Mrs. Maggie, Pippi is a dog, and it is just a dog. There is a clear hierarchy between it and its owner, but in the eyes of Mr. Jacob, Pippi is not." It's just a dog. He respects the other person, loves the other person, and is willing to treat the other person as an equal to himself. This is the last straw that breaks Pippi's mind."
“Once you have seen the light, you can no longer tolerate the darkness.”
