Even with an identity like Team America, he had to go through SHIELD to get the chance to meet Peggy Carter.

Obviously, Stark will inevitably have to go through this ring.

Well, in fact, if he really wanted to take advantage of the loophole, Stark had a way to bypass the 'barrier' set up by S.H.I.E.L.D. and go directly to the UK to meet with Peggy Carter. After all, ever since Captain America came out of the ice and returned to the world, the fact that Peggy Carter is still alive has been made public on a small scale, and as Howard's son, Stark is one of the insiders.

The reason why they didn't ignore SHIELD and go directly to see Peggy Carter was because the two parties were now partners and it was best to save each other's face.

Moreover, the purpose of contacting Peggy Carter this time is to invite her to attend the baby's 100-day banquet and ask her to send blessings to the little guy as an elder...

If there are side issues, the atmosphere may be affected a little. As little Morgan's biological father, Stark didn't want things to develop like that.

"Ms. Carter?" He was a little surprised when he suddenly received a call from Stark. When he heard that he wanted to find Peggy Carter, Nick Fury's reaction became more alert: "Why do you suddenly want to contact her? Stark, what do you want to do?"

"Relax, braised egg." He shook his head in disgust and gave Shi Xiaolei an "I knew it would be like this" expression. Stark continued: "It's just a private matter, don't be suspicious. Do you think I What are your thoughts? Could it be that I will make some evil plan to subvert the world? Haha, please, I am Iron Man, the guardian of the world, not a super villain, okay?”

"Tell me what's wrong first."

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Here's what's going on..." After spending some time, Stark explained to Nick Fury the reason why he wanted to contact Peggy Carter.

"Nothing else?" Although Stark had made it clear, Nick Fury still had some doubts.

"Otherwise? It was Locke who gave me the advice." The expression on Stark's face became increasingly impatient: "Forget it, let him tell you."

After receiving Stark's look, Shi Xiaolei smiled helplessly and said hello to Nick Fury on the other end of the signal: "Hi, Director Fury."

"Locke?"

"it's me."

Opening up a conversation meant that Shi Xiaolei was willing to testify against Stark.

This attitude is enough. There is no need for Shi Xiaolei to repeat what Stark just said.

Nick Fury's attitude relaxed: "Okay, I'll send you the number later."

"Thanks."

"Is there anything else?"

"Tony?" Shi Xiaolei turned to look at Stark, saw him shaking his head, and then gave Nick Fury an answer: "Tony said no."

"Okay, so be it, I have a meeting to hold."

After ending the call, within a few seconds, Jarvis received a number from Nick Fury.

I looked at the time and saw that it was about nine o'clock in the morning, almost ten o'clock in the morning. After calculating the time difference, it should be about two o'clock in the afternoon in the UK.

Thinking that Peggy Carter might be taking a lunch break, it might not be appropriate to call at this moment...

"Let's fight again later." Withdrawing his attention, Stark reached out and picked up the tablet brought by Shi Xiaolei again: "Let's continue discussing the next item. Grandma and grandpa wear Ruyi bracelets...Pepper, it's your turn. ”

Unlike Stark, both of her parents have passed away, but compared with ordinary families, Pepper's family situation can be considered a bit special - after graduating from college and starting to work, her parents divorced for some reasons. A few years later, they each formed new families.

In other words, Pepper now has two mothers and two fathers.

According to Chinese customs, of course only the biological parents would be considered to attend the party and ask them to give their blessings to their daughter. But in Europe and the United States, the relationship between stepmothers, stepfathers, and stepchildren and stepdaughters is not so clearly distinguished... To put it bluntly, most stepmothers and stepfathers will treat their stepchildren and stepdaughters as their own children, and conversely, Stepchildren and stepdaughters will also treat their stepmother and stepfather like their biological parents.

"I'll call them later." Pepper smiled slightly in return. Then, she turned to look at Shi Xiaolei: "Locke, I want to confirm that in this link, only the relatives of the grandfather and the grandmother are qualified? Or..."

She is good friends with Stark, but is not Pepper's best friend. He had never heard Pepper mention anything about her family, and Shi Xiaolei didn't know that she had a stepmother and a stepfather.

As a result, he naturally couldn't understand why Pepper asked such a question.

"The situation in Pepper's family is a bit special." Seeing Shi Xiaolei's confused face, Stark smiled and explained to him: "After she graduated and started working, her parents divorced..."

The matter itself is not complicated, and there is no need to go into too much detail, as long as Shi Xiaolei understands what the situation is. In just a few words, Stark explained the situation clearly.

"That's it." Shi Xiaolei smiled sheepishly at Pepper and raised his hand to scratch his head: "I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about godfather and godmother."

"If you include the godfather and godmother, there are three couples." Pepper also laughed: "Okay, I admit, the situation here is indeed a bit messy."

"So, what she asked just now..."

"Oh. According to our Chinese custom..." Shi Xiaolei scratched his head again and replied with a smile: "It would be best for my grandpa and grandma to come forward. But having said that, since it is a blessing, I think there is no harm in having more. Hmm...what do you think about adding a pair of anklets?"

"Eh?"

"According to the original custom, a pair of bracelets will be divided into two. Grandpa will be responsible for putting one on the little one, and the other will be put on by grandma." Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "Since your situation is a bit special, let's You might as well add a pair of anklets to the little guy. Four people will be responsible for each of them, one for each person, which is just right.”

"Is this okay?" Pepper couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"It's better to keep pace with the times." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "And for things like rituals, there are usually only restrictions on 'which step cannot be omitted'."

"Indeed. As far as I know, most ritual behaviors are quite simple at first. As time goes by, they gradually become more complicated." Stark nodded thoughtfully: " It can be added or subtracted, you summed it up well, man.”
