Chapter 52: Meet
"Little Yu, you are so pretty."
Ji Canghai was not stingy with his praise, his eyes reflected Xiao Yu's figure, and he did not hide his hot gaze at all.
Xiao Yu looked at himself in the mirror and loosened his tie a little uncomfortably.
In order to visit Afton, Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai both changed into a high-end tuxedo. Xiao Yu knew that Ji Canghai would look good in a formal suit, but he didn't expect that he himself would look good in this suit.
Liu Yilian said at the right time: "This costume is custom-made according to your size. It has been made before, and it just finished in the past two days."
As for where his size came from, there is no need to guess. Ji Canghai must have secretly recorded his size at some point.
"Have a heart." Xiao Yu nodded slightly.
Ji Canghai approached Xiao Yu, and said to Xiao Yu in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You really look good in this outfit, but I prefer to see you wearing nothing."
Xiao Yu: "..."
To be honest, he was almost immune to Ji Canghai's flirty words from time to time, and when he heard such a sentence suddenly, he still couldn't help but want to beat him up.
He has always been a person who can do whatever he wants, and before Ji Canghai could react, he was punched in the lower abdomen.
Ji Canghai snorted, but he didn't get angry at all, with an aggrieved look: "Xiao Yu, you really have to do it."
Xiao Yu moved his hand down Ji Canghai's lower abdomen, threatening in his words: "If you talk nonsense again, it won't be so simple next time."
Ji Canghai hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong." But dare to do it next time.
The thought of Xiao Yu wanting to beat him like this.
Think about it and have a little expectation.
Xiao Yu naturally couldn't think of Ji Canghai's seemingly serious expression, but he was thinking about some yellow waste in his mind. He thought that the other party had learned a lesson, so he stopped and said: "It's almost time, let's go."
"Please." Ji Canghai raised his elbow, signaling Xiao Yu to hold his arm.
Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, but he still took Ji Canghai's arm. After all, when sending the invitation to Afton, it was the two of them who signed it. Only partners can sign together on the same invitation.
Of course Ji Canghai could also sign it alone, but considering that Afton's partner is a mermaid, in order to ensure that the other party agreed to meet, Ji Canghai specially asked Liu Yilian to explain Xiao Yu's identity as a mermaid to the butler when sending the invitation.
Sure enough, the other party agreed to meet, even on the eve of the deal with Lodesta in Twilight Forest, Afton still agreed to meet with them.
"Boss, the housekeeper from the Afton Mansion is here." Yang Yongning, who was in charge of tracking, came in to report.
Ji Canghai smiled slightly: "Madam, let's go."
Xiao Yu: "Well."
The base of the ear is a little hot.
Afton's butler is a middle-aged man who looks very elegant. Seeing Ji Canghai and Xiao Yu coming together, he smiled decently, bowed slightly and said, "This must be Mr. Ji and Mr. Xiao Bar."
Ji Canghai nodded slightly: "Yes."
"The master has invited the two of you to visit the house." The housekeeper thoughtfully opened the car door for them, "Please, both of you."
Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai boarded the flying car, and the butler was in charge of driving.
He wanted to say something, but Ji Canghai shook his head at him.
Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that in Afton's information, this elegant butler is quite powerful. He is impeccable in doing things, making it impossible for people to find mistakes, and more importantly, his temperament is very cold. Except for necessary words, he hardly speaks half a word with outsiders.
He didn't have the slightest flattery to the upper class, but instead was indifferent to the extreme elegance.
It stands to reason that such a person is not suitable to be a butler, but Afton thinks highly of him. Facts have proved that Afton is indeed a discerning person. Although this butler is not good at communication, he has someone who is good at communication to complete the work for him. These work. And he usually only appears on important occasions, and is only responsible for meeting important people.
It is conceivable that both he and Ji Canghai were classified as important by Afton.
You must know that the invitation card did not introduce Ji Canghai's background, maybe Ji Canghai showed his black card when he entered the city, which made Afton aware of the clues, but Xiao Yu was more inclined to think that Afton regarded them as important guests , because of his identity as a mermaid.
The flying car arrived at the destination very quickly.
The butler opened the car door for them: "Please come in, the master is waiting for you two in the lobby."
Xiao Yu nodded to the housekeeper, took Ji Canghai's arm again, and walked into the room with Ji Canghai.
The decoration style of Afton's home has the atmosphere of Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens. Once Xiao Yu entered the door, he could feel a strange familiarity.
As far as the layout is concerned, this Afton can be said to be quite tasteful.
After all, in the future world, people prefer the convenience brought by high technology, and the decoration style also prefers the heavy metal and cold style.
It is really impressive to find such a small bridge and flowing water in the world of reinforced concrete.
Walking through the long corridor is the hall of the Afton House.
The doors are open and the lights are bright.
Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai walked in hand in hand, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat in the center of the hall. He was wearing a slim suit, his hair was combed back meticulously, and he was leaning on a finely carved crutches, like a person walking out of a medieval oil painting.
Full of retro atmosphere.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Xiao, please stay safe." Afton got up, and his eagle-like eyes scanned the two of them, "I am the Afton you are looking for. I don't know why you two came to visit late at night. thing?"
But Ji Canghai was not in a hurry to get down to business: "Mr. Afton's reputation is far and wide, and my wife and I admire it quite a lot. When we met today, it really deserves the reputation. But sir, why don't you invite us to sit down first and have two cups of tea?"
Afton laughed loudly: "It was I who neglected, Morgdis, to show the two gentlemen tea."
Tea is Afton's favorite drink.
The executive seems to have a special fondness for these retro things, whether it's tea, clothing, or the layout of the house.
Mogdis, the butler, poured half a cup of good tea for Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai: "Please use, gentlemen."
Xiao Yu said his thanks, and heard Afton say: "It's a great pleasure to have friends from afar. Why don't you let me guess the reason for your visit?"
Ji Canghai smiled and said, "I think nothing can be hidden from His Excellency Afton's eyes. I'm afraid you already know the reason for me and Xiao Yu's visit."
"Lodesta's spaceship was hijacked by the two of you, right?" Afton chuckled, "The young man is indeed very courageous, he hijacked Mogdis' spaceship, and dared to come to my house alone. What? , are you here to demonstrate?"
Ji Canghai's smile remained unchanged: "Your Excellency Afton's words are wrong. I am not alone. My partner is by my side, Xiaoyu."
Xiao Yu understood, poured tea on his legs, and then used his mental power to restore his legs to fish tails.
"Unfortunately, my partner is also an Alpha mermaid." Ji Canghai pretended to be sad, "The genetic defect of the mermaid clan will affect him sooner or later. I want to find a way to improve the mermaid gene. My mood must be Your Excellency Afton understands."
Of course Afton could understand, he couldn't understand the flaws of mermaid genes.
Thinking of his dying partner, he could hardly maintain his graceful manner: "What can you do for me?"
"I have an important piece of news to tell you, but I must first know how far your research on the mermaid's genetic defect has reached, and what you are doing to buy the mermaid Bate." Ji Canghai said.
Afton pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Finally he made a decision: "You'd better make sure your news is enough to impress me, otherwise..."
"Oh, I'm very confident."
Afton could not see the slightest problem from Ji Canghai's expression, and then hit the ground with his crutches: "Follow me."
