Blackstone Code

When Catherine compared herself to a commodity, and even used words like "sell" to describe her mother's actions, the atmosphere in the room was extremely oppressive.

Her father glanced at the woman who had been with her for more than 20 years, and wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing, and took on the responsibilities that he should not have borne.

There is a saying in Baylor Federation - "When you have to bow your head to life, please don't be stingy to let your knees and forehead touch the ground".

This sentence may be a bit too pessimistic, but life is like this, since you choose to compromise, then compromise thoroughly.

As a man who has lost the power to be the pillar of the family, he has naturally realized that he has lost the power to control the family extremely quickly. In the face of the new generation of "rulers" and a "foreign force" who hides behind the scenes but may change the status quo "When there was a conflict between them, I chose to remain silent.

After the silence, Catherine's mother shook her head, "I didn't think about it that way. I told you that Roma is a very good young man."

"He is a little older than you, but he knows how to love a girl. He has a stable job and an independent house. You don't have to suffer like others. Isn't that good?"

Her voice quickly changed from a weak and uncertain guilty conscience to a strong voice, and her voice was gradually amplified.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Roma is indeed a very suitable marriage partner for some families, but this is only for certain families and only for certain people.

Catherine shook her head, "I never had any hope for your choice, you have already proved you wrong once, who knows if this will be the second time."

The first time was naturally a question about Lynch. Of course, Catherine herself had made mistakes, but this sentence made the woman who was already full of remorse suddenly angry.

"I'm not the Lord. I can't see things so far away. I only know that you really had a bad time in that situation. Could it be that I did something wrong for my own daughter?"

Catherine shook her head, "Then why don't you make mistakes a second time?" She said that she didn't continue to give women a chance, and took the right to speak in a more peaceful but tougher way, "You have been told since childhood Me, don't sell your body for money, but today you guys did something shameful, I thought we would be a different family."

As she spoke, she stood up, and for the first time, she showed a disappointed expression. Perhaps most children will think that they and their families have a fundamental relationship with other families in society before they realize the cruelty of reality. sexual difference.

This fantasy will not be broken by them until the day they realize the reality.

Catherine's words made the husband and wife feel a kind of uncomfortable, condemnation from conscience.

Living in such a neighborhood, what parents are most afraid of is that their children will go astray, but they themselves have set the most wrong example.

Catherine turned and walked towards the porch. It was already getting dark outside. A girl with no rightful family would choose to leave home and go to the street at this time, which made the couple suddenly nervous.

Catherine's mother quickly stood up and took two steps and grabbed Catherine's wrist, "Where are you going?" Then she emphasized, "You can't go out!"

Catherine waved her hand and shook off her mother's arm. She glanced sideways at the woman and smiled, "Since you have decided to sell me for a good price, why don't you sell it for a higher price?"

The way she spoke was a little scary, the woman even forgot to stop her, and watched her leave the house at this time.

On the other hand, Lynch, who had just finished the social gathering, returned home. In the afternoon, Joe Griman called him and told him that someone was interested in the land in his hands, and they could sit down and chat.

He participated in the dinner organized by Joe Griman, but he was not at all interested in the people on the other side of the table and what the other party said.

Obviously, the other party may want to buy the land for Joe Griman's face, or for other reasons, but the other party only offered a price that was too low for Lynch to accept, 1.6 million.

The bastard tried to buy the land at an outrageously low price with a high-spirited tone and tone full of charity, as if what he had done was a gift to Lynch.

Facing this kind of person, Lynch would not be too polite with him.

The rich experience made him understand a truth, those who look down on you now, even if you make a change, the other party will still look down on you, until you step on the other side's face and spit at him, he will Put away thoughts that despise you.

Before that, the more you did, the more guilty and worthless struggle and resistance seemed to the other party.

So Lynch directly terminated the dinner at the right time, maintaining the most basic etiquette.

After the meal, Joe Griman also expressed his apology to Lynch. He didn't know that the person he had found was like a fool. Of course, he also expressed that he would continue to find some suitable people for Lynch.

At about eight o'clock, Lynch was ready to rest, and at this time, the phone rang.

He was a little surprised, it was rare for anyone to call him at this time, but he still picked up the phone, and immediately there was a very familiar voice on the other end of the phone, it was Mr. Fox.

"Didn't you sleep?" Mr. Fox's voice was full of confidence and resonant. He had been doing well recently and was in a good state of mind. "An old man like me wouldn't go to bed so early. You missed so many wonderful things in life. stuff, Lynch friend."

Lynch laughed a few times, but did not continue the discussion on this topic. If there is no entertainment, he will basically go to bed earlier.

Sleeping is a very "nourishing" process. If it is just to waste time, it is unnecessary behavior.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked casually. He didn't think there would be anything wrong with Fox's call at this time. Most likely, he asked him to go out and relax.

From Lynch's brief laughter, Mr. Fox vaguely had a strange feeling that he was being watched by kind eyes again. He shook his head and threw this absurd idea out of his mind, and talked about business, "Do you know a man named Catherine's girl?"

"There was a person looking for you on the street at night. You know, I am somewhat famous now. The children told me about it, and I invited him. Maybe you will be interested in it?"

Because of Mr. Fox's cooperation with Lynch, his business has grown bigger and bigger. In addition, in order to restore his image in front of the public, the FBI and the Federal Taxation Service have severely swept up the money laundering dealers in Sabine City. This also made Fox Mr.'s "territory" has expanded many times.

There are more people serving him, ordinary, serious employees, and some employees who hang around the streets all day.

The collaboration between Mr. Fox and Lynch has become a classic for those who also know Lynch.

Later in the evening, a beautiful girl approached several young men who were obviously street power, and asked them if they knew Lynch or Mr. Fox, which made them wary.

They brought the girl to Mr. Fox, because they didn't know who the girl was, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

When Mr. Fox investigated Lynch before, he was not interested in his ex-girlfriend who had broken up, so he missed this knowledge point. Now he is calling just to confirm whether Lynch knows this girl.

Hearing this, Lynch looked down at the ring on his little finger, smiled and sighed, "Arrange someone to send her to my house..."

After more than 20 minutes, the ex-boyfriend and girlfriend who had been separated for more than a month met again. There was not much embarrassment, but a hint of curiosity and exploration.

"It looks like you're doing well!" Catherine didn't express her remorse like an ordinary girl. She looked at the resplendent villa and couldn't help but praise it.

Lynch was wearing casual clothes. He pouted, walked to the edge of the bar and took out two cups, "Juice? Wine? Or coffee?" He poured a little wine for himself, "I don't know how to use a grinder, if If you want coffee you have to get it yourself."

"Have some wine, I don't like coffee." Catherine turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room. The texture of the leather sofa and the full and elastic stuffing inside made her fondle a few strokes, and even took a picture. Clapped, "Life is hard enough, why not take it easy on yourself?"

Lynch came over with two cups, one for her, and one for himself.

After clinking glasses briefly, each took a sip.

Maybe it's the psychological effect of alcohol, Catherine quickly explained her intention, "I didn't expect you to become so fast, do you have any tricks?"

Lynch thought about it seriously, "If you want to talk about the trick..." He had a very special smile on his face, and lowered his voice, "Actually, I am the illegitimate child of God, don't tell others."

Catherine couldn't help laughing, sighed with a smile, and took another sip of her wine, "You always like to joke..."

When she said this, she suddenly closed her mouth, because this sentence made the atmosphere in the room a little sad, "I said something I shouldn't have said, and I apologize for it."

Lynch was very generous, "I forgive you."

The two looked at each other, a little strange, but a little familiar.

"My mother was going to sell me to a moron on the condition that my father would get a job."

"It's a sale anyway, I think you'll pay a higher price, right?"
