"To be precise, the ancestors of the Rusco family were originally French nobles, reaching the rank of duke. They were prominent in France in many periods. ↖ However, during the Napoleonic period, the ancestors of the Rusco family had to escape due to political failures.

France, went to Spain to take refuge. Although Napoleon was defeated and abdicated, he did not return to France but stayed in Spain. Of course, he was still a member of the aristocracy. After entering the last century, another revolution occurred in Spain, and they again

They took refuge in Italy and kept the core of the family there!" Angelina said, "Now, the Rusco family still has the title of Spanish Count. Although, in today's European constitutional monarchies, the kind of nobles who used to be

The palace system as its core has been abolished, and the traditional aristocratic system has completely disappeared. In addition to enjoying some symbolic and ceremonial rights, the aristocrats no longer enjoy political and economic privileges, nor diplomatic privileges.

But if you underestimate them because of this, you would be totally wrong!”

Fang Mingyuan nodded. He admitted that the aristocratic system in Europe that had lasted for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years could be said to have disintegrated in modern times. Even in those countries that still retained their aristocratic titles, aristocrats were no longer superior lords.

It can be said that there are many nobles who have prominent family backgrounds but do not live well, and have to sell their treasures for money. In the past, families that were just small nobles, or even families of common people, are now rich and powerful.

Someone is here.

"It can be said that the Rusk family and our Welf family have a feud. Initially, it can be said that our family has been suppressing them. However, World War II had a great impact on our Welf family, and their strength in Spain has exploded.

, which brought the strength of the two families closer. Especially in the 1990s, the Rusco family and the British Blake family successfully married, and the next generation core heir of the Rusco family married Blake.

The youngest daughter of the family patriarch. This has significantly increased the influence and strength of the Rusk family." Angelina said.

"Is the Blake family very powerful?" Fang Mingyuan scratched his head and asked. For him, the secrets of these nobles in Europe were really far away, and they were like a mess that was completely unclear.

"Well, although it cannot be called the top wealthy family in Europe, it is still a first-class family. The Blake family has the hereditary title of Marquis in the UK. At its peak, the land in nearly two counties in the UK was owned by the Blake family. Now

The Blake family has considerable influence in the banking, insurance, manufacturing and food industries in the UK and even Europe." Angelina said, "For example, the Blake family owns the Royal Bank of Scotland in the UK.

At least 14 percent of the shares. Three members of the Blake family are members of the British Parliament."

Fang Mingyuan knows that the Royal Bank of Scotland is one of the largest commercial banks in the UK and one of the oldest commercial banks in the UK. It has a history of nearly three hundred years since its establishment! It acquired it in the past few years

NatWest Bank of the United Kingdom set a record for the highest amount of banking acquisitions in British history at 21.5 billion pounds! Today, more than four-fifths of the large companies listed on the London Stock Exchange are Royal Scots

Customers served by banking companies and financial markets businesses! The fact that the Blake family can hold 14% of its shares is enough to prove that its strength is not trivial.

"The relationship between the Blake family and our Welf family is not good. Especially during World War II, our two families had a lot of resentment." Angelina spread her hands and said helplessly, "At that time, Blake

After the Crocker family's assets in France were confiscated by the German government, most of them were taken over by our family. After World War II, a lot of the Welf family's assets in Austria were also robbed by them..."

After Angelina patiently explained, Guo Qing'er fell asleep listening to it. Only then did Fang Mingyuan roughly understand the enmity between the Welf family, the Blake family, and the Rusk family.

Looking at Fang Mingyuan who was thoughtful, Angelina was thinking about telling the news to the clan leader as soon as possible. The Rusko family took the initiative to contact Fang Mingyuan. Maybe there was indeed some cooperation project that selected the Fang family, but

It is more likely that the Rusk family also noticed that Fang Mingyuan and the Welf family were getting closer, and in order to prevent Fang Mingyuan and the Fang family from becoming strong supporters of the Welf family, they let Bertram and Fang Mingyuan

connect.

"What is the status of this guy named Bertram Ferreira Rusco in the Rusco family?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "He is a director of Intesa Sanpaolo and an important shareholder of Telecom Italia.

Sounds like someone important?"

"Bertram is the second-generation descendant of the Rusco family. If the information we have received is correct, he is now the third-ranked heir to the patriarch of the Rusco family," Angelina explained.

.

"The third-ranked heir to the clan leader...that is to say, there are two people above him who are more qualified to inherit than him?" Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Is this order irrevocable?"

"Of course not! The Rusko family will assess the heirs who are qualified to inherit the position of patriarch every year, and decide their succession order based on their performance during the year." Angelina shook her head and said, "This is another matter.

It’s not a succession to the throne.”

Fang Mingyuan thought about it, and for the same reason, if we continue to cling to the eldest son inheritance system, these families will only die faster and faster!

"Bertram is a member of the Rusko family who has only shown his talents in the past five or six years." Angelina frowned and said. She didn't know whether this matter was Bertram's own decision or Rusco's.

The will of the family patriarch is in it. Although she believes that Fang Mingyuan is not so easy to win over, who in this world can guarantee 100%? Not to mention that the two families have not yet been married, they are already married.

, there are countless counter-purposes!

"Does the Rusko family have a gang background?" Fang Mingyuan frowned and asked. This family really should not be underestimated. I really don't know how many predators are hidden among them under the democracy and peace of this continent of Europe.

"The Rusco family has been in Italy for so many years and has already become one of the most powerful families in Italy. Do you think they have any?" Angelina asked. Italy's underworld is well-known around the world.

.

"But you don't have to worry. The underworld power of the Rusko family will not be easily used against important members of other families. Otherwise, they may face the strong force of the EU police department.

A blow." Angelina chuckled.

"Just because they don't dare to use it on you doesn't mean they don't dare to use it on me." Fang Mingyuan said calmly.

"You?" Angelina waved her hands gently and chuckled, "Then you underestimate yourself too much. Unless they don't understand your true strength, otherwise, they will definitely not do such a stupid thing." The Fang family

The assets on the surface are tens of billions of dollars. He is also an internationally renowned figure. Unless the Rusko family can do it perfectly, otherwise, once the Fang family discovers it, the blow that will follow will be huge.

It's terrible. You must know that in this world, there will never be a shortage of desperadoes! Even the underworld forces are not dominated by the Italian family.

At this time, the door from the balcony leading to the castle was pushed open, and the three girls Ksenia, Dora and Viola walked in. "Sister Angelina, you are really in such a good mood! Why don't you do that?"

Call us?" Before anyone arrived, Ksenia's voice came over. Angelina noticed the helpless look on Fang Mingyuan's face, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

"Fang, do you mind if we join in?" Dora lowered her head and asked Fang Mingyuan softly with a bit of timidity. Viola and Angelina on the side rolled their eyes in unison.

Who knows, the crazy girl is pretending to be a lady now.

What else could Fang Mingyuan say? Guo Qing'er said bluntly: "Can we say you mind?" Although it was already dark, the temperature was not low. The three women's clothes were not revealing, but in Guo Qing'er's eyes, they

However, the shorts and cool T-shirt revealed enough. Ksenia even revealed a large area of ​​​​her breasts, and Viola revealed her slender waist. In other words, Dora only wore enough clothes!

Ksenia and the other three just pretended not to hear. If they were ordinary assistants, they would definitely have at least made some sarcastic remarks just for Fang Mingyuan's sake. But they all knew in advance that Guo Qing'er was from Guo's Shipping Group Company.

It can be said that the direct heirs are destined to inherit this top shipping company that plays an important role in the international shipping industry in the future. Of course, if it is just this, it will not make them frightened. More importantly, they all know that,

The relationship between Fang Mingyuan and her is very close, they are like biological sisters. If she offends this person and keeps blowing wind in Fang Mingyuan's ears, it will be troublesome.

The servants brought some more chairs and brought coffee and snacks to the three of them. After a lot of fussing, they sat down again. Guo Qing'er and Angelina took the seats next to Fang Mingyuan without hesitation.

"Fang, Sister Angelina, what were you talking about here just now?" Viola smiled coquettishly and looked around, "I have never noticed that there is such a beautiful scenery on the top floor of the castle."

Ksenia glanced sideways at her but said nothing.

"Let's talk about your German travel scene. She recommended me to visit Neuschwanstein Castle." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Although I have heard of it, I have never had the chance to go."

"Neuschwanstein Castle, you really should go and see it. The scenery there is so beautiful." Viola agreed, "The last time I went there was in January this year. The castle covered with heavy snow was like entering the castle."

It's like a fairy tale world. By the way, I'm on vacation in the past few days. Let's go to see its summer scenery together. I can be your tour guide."

"But I would rather go to King's Lake." Guo Qing'er hugged Fang Mingyuan's arm and said sweetly, "Let's go to King's Lake. I heard that the scenery there has a Nordic style and is known as the most beautiful and cleanest lake in Germany.

"

Seeing that Viola's face immediately became a little embarrassed, Ksenia couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth. She knew that Viola would not get close to Fang Mingyuan so easily. If it were that simple, Angelina could still do this

There has been no progress for a long time, so how many of them are left with the opportunity? Viola is beautiful, and Angelina is no worse than her!

"Fang, I heard that Victoria's Secret has sent you many invitations, but you have rejected them all. Why? Could it be that you are not interested in fashion?" Ksenia held her chin in her hands and smiled.

Looking at Fang Mingyuan. As an important figure in Hollywood, "Fang"'s influence is undoubted. If Victoria's Secret can invite him to participate in the fashion show, there will be many celebrities who are interested in him and will attend.

It would attract more attention from the media and movie fans. However, Fang Mingyuan never agreed, which undoubtedly disappointed its parent company, Limed Brands Group.

"That's not true, it's just that I don't have time, and I don't like places where the media gathers." Fang Mingyuan said casually. He really didn't think the Victoria's Secret fashion show was so good-looking. Although there were many big-name international models, he couldn't help it.

Needless to say, there is still a lot of conflict between the European and American fashion industry's requirements for models and his own aesthetics.

Ksenia couldn't help but be speechless. How could she forget that "Fang" didn't like to appear in front of the media? It is precisely because of this eccentricity that "Fang" has become the spokesperson of mysticism in the international community. Initially, he

He is careful not to show up in front of the media. But now, the media may have photographed his face and dare not announce it to the public without his permission. His influence and net worth are enough to crush most media in the world.

Yes! And those media who are not afraid of his backhand revenge will never make such an enemy for themselves just for the sake of quick pleasure.

"I have been to King's Lake four times. It is indeed a beautiful place. Miss Guo, do you need a guide? The longest time I stayed in King's Lake was nine days!" Dora asked Guo Qing'er timidly.

Guo Qing'er couldn't help but be a little stunned. She looked at Dora for a while and then said: "This... it depends on our itinerary." Fang Mingyuan sighed softly in his heart. Qing'er has always been a soft-spoken girl like Dora.

The request was too embarrassing. However, from Viola's reaction on the side, he could already see that this woman named Dora was probably not a light-hearted person.

"Miss Dora, I appreciate your kindness, but our itinerary hasn't been finalized yet, so it's a little early to say this." Fang Mingyuan looked at his watch, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I want to go back and rest.

Okay, you guys can help yourself."

"I'm going back too!" Guo Qing'er also stood up and said. Ksenia and the other three couldn't help but froze in shame, and then they said a few words. Fang Mingyuan was about to go back. Doesn't this mean that they are too unattractive?

Got it!

"You three, let's talk. I have something to talk to grandpa, so I won't accompany you!" Angelina said, holding back her laughter, stood up and walked out with Fang Mingyuan and the others.

As for whether the three Ksenias were complaining or fighting among themselves on the balcony, it was not something Angelina needed to consider. She hummed a song and came outside the room where old Welf was in the castle, and asked the housekeeper Edward:

"Is Grandpa asleep?"

"Miss Angelina, the patriarch is discussing matters with Lord Ansplenger and Lord Abendrot. Is there something wrong?" Edward asked.

Angelina pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait a moment. I have something important to report to grandpa." The movements of the Rusco family are related to Fang Mingyuan, so she thinks it's best to be the first to report them.

Time to inform old Welf.

"Is it related to Mr. Fang?" Edward asked solemnly, "The patriarch said that if it is related to Mr. Fang, report it to him at any time."

"Yes, it has something to do with him, and it's very important!" Angelina said, "Tonight, I have to report to Grandpa."

"Then please come with me!" Edward said without hesitation. Under Edward's leadership, Angelina was brought into Old Welf's small living room. Seeing Angelina's arrival, her face looked a little solemn.

Old Welf and the other three all looked surprised.

Edward said respectfully: "Miss Angelina said that she has important matters related to Mr. Fang that she wants to report to the clan leader."

"Uh, Angelina, please sit down and tell me, what's going on?" Old Welf waved his hand and said, "Hey, by the way, I forgot to ask you, have Miss Aso's accommodation arrangements been made?"

"Master Patriarch, Miss Angelina informed me that Miss Aso has returned to Moscow, so there is no need to arrange her accommodation. However, Miss Aso has brought ten security personnel to Mr. Fang, and I have already arranged their accommodation.

The accommodation is in the surrounding rooms of Sir Fang." Edward replied respectfully.

"Why did she go back to Moscow?" Abendrot looked at Angelina in surprise. She took a special flight from Moscow to Dortmund, and then rushed back to Moscow immediately. Even if there was a private plane all the way, it would still be a journey.

Tired.

"That's why I came here. Miss Aso came to Dortmund specifically to discuss something with Fang in person. After the matter is over, she will naturally return to Russia." Angelina sat down and took a deep breath.

, "Just now, Fang told me that Bertram Ferreira Rusko of the Rusko family sent an invitation to Fang to meet today through the members of the Saburov family in Russia!"

"Huh?" Old Welf and the three looked at each other, and then the three of them laughed in unison, and the atmosphere in the room became relaxed.

Angelina looked at the three of them with some confusion. After hearing the news, shouldn't she be nervous? Why did the three of them become more relaxed?

"Angelina, just two hours ago, we got news that the Fang family was in contact with the Rusko family." Old Welf saw his granddaughter's doubts and chuckled.

The Rusco family pays attention to every move of the Welf family, and the Welf family will naturally pay attention to the new trends of the Rusco family. Just two hours ago, news came from Italy that the Fang family and the Rusco family

But the members of the family are connected! However, the news did not mention which member of the Fang family was connected to which member of the Rusko family. However, this also made Old Welf and the other three dare not ignore Fang.

There are too few members in the family, and there are not many people in total. No matter which one is connected with the Rusko family, they may have a major influence on Fang Mingyuan!

And at this sensitive time...how could we not make Old Welf and the others pay attention to it? However, the three of them are much more relieved now.

"It seems that this news was probably released intentionally by the Rusk family!" Ansprenger sneered. If Fan Mingyuan hadn't told Angelina the news when he came back from the airport, then even if Fan Mingyuan hadn't They will definitely have concerns about any action. And if the cooperation between the two families does not have enough trust in each other, how can it have significant results?

"Well, I think so too!" Abendrotte nodded. The Rusko family was quite ruthless. This was because they were sure that they would not be able to question Fang Mingyuan face to face with this suspicion. And if Fang Mingyuan was like this If Bian didn't tell them in time, the thorn would be buried.

"What did Fang say about this matter?" Old Welf asked Angelina, "Tell me as much detail as possible."

"He asked about the origin of the Rusco family and some information about Bertram Ferreira Rusco. Others, due to the sudden arrival of Ksenia, Dora and Viola, were not available. Go on." Angelina said.

Ansprunge and Abendroth frowned slightly at the same time, and old Welf continued: "What now? Fang, Ksenia and the others are together?"

"No, Miss Fang and Miss Guo said they were tired and wanted to rest early. They have already gone back to their rooms. I'm here to report the situation to Grandpa. As for Ksenia and the others, they may still be on the balcony on the top floor, right?" Anjie Lina lowered her head and said.

Old Welf was silent. Ansprenger glanced at Abendroth and said: "I think it is not appropriate to disturb Fang at this time. Since he told Angelina this matter in the first place, Judging from the matter, I think Fang's position is still very solid and his attitude is clear. It would be better to wait until tomorrow to discuss this matter."

"Yeah, it's getting late. If the two of them really take a rest, it wouldn't be appropriate." Abendrot also agreed.

"Okay, let's talk about this matter tomorrow." Old Welf said, "Angelina, you should also go and rest. You will be with Fang and the others tomorrow."

"Yes!" Angelina also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully to the three of them.

"Angelina, you've done a great job on this matter! If there's anything happening there, no matter how big or small, you can come to us and report it at any time if you feel it's necessary." Abendrot said with a smile. (To be continued. )
