Verina wine estate.

Guan Chen invited all the famous elders in the family here, and of course some key figures, such as Rodrigo, were indispensable.

It was getting late, Rodrigue didn't show up for a long time, Guan Chen was not in a hurry, so he asked everyone to sit down and eat and chat, and the chats were some daily polite words.

Xu Yunzhou sat beside Guan Chen, resting his chin on one hand and looking curiously at the people at the table.

He found that there were really many people in Guan Chen's family, and he didn't even know the faces that appeared this time, and many of them were not the people he had seen at the last gathering.

It must be very hard to manage such a prosperous family, right?

Xu Yunzhou looked at Guan Chen. Seeing him looking over, Guan Chen moved his hand naturally. He scooped up a spoonful of caviar and brought it to Xu Yunzhou's mouth. Xu Yunzhou obediently opened his mouth and bit the spoon.

Wait, he didn't turn his face around to ask Guan Chen to feed him, it's too embarrassing for so many elders to see that he is so old and want Guan Chen to feed him!

Xu Yunzhou quickly sat upright, picked up the knife and fork to eat gracefully.

Ten minutes had passed since the dinner party started, and Rodrigue still hadn't shown up.

Someone came over quietly and whispered something in Guan Chen's ear. Guan Chen didn't change his expression, but told them to continue to follow each other's whereabouts.

Xu Yunzhou leaned over, curious: "What's wrong?"

Guan Chen: "Rodrigue just got out of prison and is rushing here."

"prison?"

"Rost."

Guan Chen doesn't need to say too much, just say these three words, Xu Yunzhou can already understand the meaning of Guan Chen's words.

Rodrigue visits Andy Rost in prison.

He went to the prison to visit so blatantly, and no longer concealed his connection with Andy, probably because he realized that he had been exposed and there was no need to hide it.

Verina Red Wine Manor is an industry under the name of Rodrigue. Guan Chen has the right to enter and exit and use it. He can enter and leave here at will and hold parties here without prior notice to Rodrigo.

Today, Guan Chen chose this place for the dinner party, which is already shaking the mountain.

Rodrigue is making the final struggle. He doesn't know how much Guan Chen knows, so he pins his hope on Andy, hoping to learn from Andy about Guan Chen's actual mastery.

Unfortunately, this trip to the prison did not go as Rodrigo wished.

Andy Rost is a genius in disguise. He is not as smart as his brother, and his mind is not as clear as Elton's, but he knows one thing, that is, to be a human being is to pretend and make mistakes.

As long as he disguises himself as a man of few words, he can confuse most people, such as Rodrigo.

Andy's ability to handle things is not good, but he has a group of people who handle things for him. With the help of Chu Qinghui, Andy can cooperate well with Rodrigo.

During the process of cooperation, Andy and Rodrigue didn't communicate much. Of course, Rodrigue couldn't see Andy's actual ability. My head was full of—why did I work with this idiot before?

Andy has only been in prison for a few days, and he is no longer as vigorous as before. Guan Chen has completely cut off his back, and now no one dares to help him. He can only pin his hopes on those who came to see him in prison. Rodrigo.

Rodrigue frowned, disgusted with Andy's incompetence and rage, but he still listened patiently to Andy's speech.

"So, it's the foreigner next to you who really does the work?"

When Rodrigo asked this question suddenly, Andy froze for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Yeah."

Rodrigue got up and left immediately, and Andy got up and wanted to chase, but was stopped by the prison guard who noticed something strange, and took him back to the cell.

After the meeting with Andy, Rodrigo immediately applied to meet Chu Qinghui, and the attendant on the side reminded Rodrigo: "Boss, time is running out."

Rodrigue glanced at the time, said nothing with a cold face, and the servant also said nothing, following Rodrigo quietly.

With such a delay, Rodrigo was naturally late.

It wasn't until the dinner party in Verina's wine estate was about to end that Rodrigo arrived late.

"Sorry, I can't get away from something on the road, I hope you don't mind."

Rodrigue looked at the main seat, and found that there was no one sitting there. He glanced at the table suspiciously, and finally saw Guan Chen in the middle.

As the inviter of this dinner, Guan Chen did not sit in the main seat, but sat in the guest table like a guest.

If it was before, Rodrigue could interpret it as Guan Chen respecting him, after all, he is the actual owner of the manor, and it is reasonable to leave him the master seat.

But now, Rodrigue doesn't feel that Guan Chen is respecting him, but expressing his arrogance to everyone.

——Aren’t you trying to replace me as the new leader?Then I will give you this seat, and you can sit if you have the guts.

Rodrigue looked at the empty main seat, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, no matter how much he wanted to hold the power, he couldn't show it at this time.

Even if Guan Chen already has the evidence of his betrayal, as long as he behaves a little humble and admits his mistakes, Guan Chen may not make it public.

Rodrigue is betting, betting on the possibility that Guan Chen will soften his heart to him because he is his second uncle.

Rodrigue walked to the side and asked the waiter to bring a new chair for him: "As a punishment for my lateness, I will let them move out the most vintage red wine in the cellar."

Then he looked at Guan Chen: "Chris has only been discharged from the hospital for a few days, he should stay at home and rest well, don't let Er Bo worry about you."

Xu Yunzhou was sipping red wine, and burst out laughing when he heard the words. Fortunately, his movements were small and did not attract everyone's attention.

Almost all the guests at the scene were fine people, Guan Chen suddenly invited them to a dinner party, and he chose the manor under Rodrigo's name, this behavior was not at all in line with Guan Chen's usual style, and it was enough for them to figure out a little about Guan Chen The difference between Rodrigue and Rodrigo.

Thinking of Guan Chen's recent incident, they naturally knew it in their hearts.

Now we just need to see what Guan Chen means, whether he wants to tear off the cover-up gauze in public, or give Rodrigue a face, just to intimidate him and not to pierce.

No matter which Guan Chen chooses, everyone present will support Guan Chen's choice, even those who are close to Rodrigo will choose to stand by Guan Chen without hesitation.

They dare not stand up for matters involving the murder of the heir's life.

Everyone remained silent, waiting for Guan Chen's decision.

Guan Chen took the last bite of dessert calmly, picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly, and when he put down the napkin, everyone thought it was time for Guan Chen to speak, so he raised his glass again, swirled it lightly, and took a sip.

Times are tough, especially for Rodrigo.

Rodrigue really wanted to throw out a sentence directly: Whether it is dead or alive, please give me a good time!

But he couldn't, he could only wait quietly, like a condemned prisoner waiting for the guillotine to drop the knife.

Guan Chen finally spoke: "The taste of this wine will become more and more mellow with age, why is the human relationship the opposite?"

Rodrigue forced a smile: "The feelings will not decrease, but it is easy to get confused for a while. For example, I am probably old, and sometimes my brain can't turn around. It is easy to make decisions that I regret."

"Really? What decision did Er Bo regret recently?"

"Just... I was confused for a moment, thinking that I could go to heaven."

"Oh? I thought, Er Bo, you were regretting not taking action yourself."

Guan Chen looked at him indifferently.

"If you did it yourself, maybe what's held here today will be your celebration party!"

Rodrigue finally understood that Guan Chen did not intend to let him go.

That being the case, he doesn't have to pretend any longer, and he doesn't have to wait for Guan Chen's soft heart to let him go!

Rodrigue stood up, straightened his back, picked up the wine on the table and took a big gulp, emboldening himself.

"Chris, don't forget, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even have the chance to grow up!"

The author has something to say: I wish you all a happy life, sweet love, and a successful study in the new year!
