Jingchen said: "Being nice to you can be understood because you were the same as them at that time, or even worse than them, so they will be nice to you."

"But now you are living a better life because you have my favor. Even if you don't have any ill intentions, others will think you are deliberately showing off to them. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ke'er said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't think so bad of everyone, what if they are all good people?"

Jing Chen's tone was still calm.

"In this world, it's hard to be safe."

"Everyone is a bitch and doesn't want others to be kind to you. The only person who wants you to be kind is the one who truly loves you."

Miao Ker lowered his head slightly and did not refute again.

For some reason, every time Jingchen talked to her about this principle of life, she could always feel a sadness in his words.

When the two of them went up the stairs and arrived at the highest floor of the Jing family mansion, a simple door suddenly appeared in their sight.

Jingchen put down Ke'er's hand and walked forward, and Ke'er followed obediently without saying a word.

He gently pushed the door open, and the light from the door entered his irises.

A bloated figure standing in front of the window sill with his hands behind his back suddenly came into his sight.

Jingchen took a deep breath and felt a little nervous...

65. Noble’s Ball

"dad."

A vibrating title slowly came out of Jing Chen's mouth. His voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone in the room.

The man in front of the window, Jing Chen's father Duke Jing En, also turned around after hearing the sound. He saw his son again after a few days. The Duke's excitement could be seen on his face.

"Oh, Ah Chen, you came back just in time."

Jingchen walked up. When father and son met, they didn't hug each other. They just glanced at each other's condition.

As a business elite, the Duke has always looked at people with a ruthless eye.

If his son looked decadent in the past, the Jingchen he saw now was no longer as useless as before.

He has become much more confident.

It can even be said that he directly transformed into another person.

Something must have changed in his son.The Duke took just one look and concluded.

But he didn't ask anything.

He just stretched out his hand and patted Jingchen on the shoulder, and asked with concern: "Achen, how have you been at the college these days?"

Jing Chen said: "Just give it a try. You know, this is just a third-rate school."

"Hey, you guys are really good at talking. I spent a lot of money to send you in. Now that you are mixed up, you should behave well for me."

Jing Chen smiled slightly.

"Will do."

The Duke also smiled and said: "I believe that my son will achieve success one day."

Then his eyes turned to Ke'er behind him.

Being watched by the Duke again, even after three years of strict training, Kerr still stood there humbly and silently like the little girl before.

The Duke seemed to recognize the girl in front of him, so he looked shocked, pointed at Muke'er and asked: "Girl, are you...Muke'er?"

Kerr nodded slightly.

"It's Ke'er."

"Why have you grown so big? I remember you were still..." a few days ago.

At the critical moment, it was Jing Chen who interrupted his father's words and said with a smile: "Dad, you better not ask about some things now. I will tell you when the time is right."

The Duke looked at Jing Chen with his big and small eyes and said, "Okay, you boy, learn a wood magic to not induce birth of plants, but to induce birth of people, right?"

"Okay, okay, you are indeed the person that my son likes. She has really grown into a tall and graceful beauty."

Being praised like this by an adult, Ke'er's pretty face couldn't help but turn red.

"The Duke is outrageous."

Then the Duke said: "It's just right for you two to be dressed like this. I'll be going to someone else's banquet later, so you two can follow me."

Jingchen asked: "What kind of banquet?"

The Duke said: "The eighth master of the Audi family celebrates his birthday today and has hosted a banquet for all the palace nobles in the city. Our family has also been invited. It's really hard to be absent."

"The Audi family?"

Jing Chen frowned slightly.

He didn't expect this banquet, because there was no description of this banquet in the original work. Here, it was completely an inevitable event after the plot naturally progressed.

Don't think that this is just an ordinary banquet. Maybe it is just a happy banquet for other palace nobles, but it is not the case for the Jing family.

Now the Jing Family's position in the Magic City is a little embarrassing. Most of the Jing Family's funds are currently being used to develop new special medicines. The Duke simply refunded all the protection fees from the alliance for the new products.

Don't think that after paying the protection fee, people from the alliance will step in to protect you at critical moments. This is actually a mandatory tax imposed by a ruler on the management of his nobles.

To put it bluntly, if you pay the protection fee, then people from the alliance will not cause trouble for you. If you have a better relationship with the alliance, maybe someone will send someone to investigate if something happens to you.

Just like the last time Jingchen attacked the Skatu family at night, after he left, the alliance did pretend to send people to investigate, but it was really just for a look.

Look at how damaged your place is. How many people have died? Is this family going bankrupt?Oh, it's okay. You'll still have to pay next month's payment, and you'll have to pay a little more, because we've sent someone to help you investigate this month.

But if you don't pay, the alliance will obviously not cause trouble for you, but it's hard to say what they do secretly.

In addition, during this period, the Duke often left the country to discuss business matters with others, and Jingchen was also falsely accused of colluding with overseas reactionary forces. The tacit understanding of the father and son's behavior made this absurd statement even more It has become an ironclad fact.

This trip is the Hongmen Banquet for the Jing family.

But the Duke had no choice.

"My relationship with Master Ba was quite good in the past. Of course I still have to give you this face. You two pack up and we'll set off in a while."

Jingchen gritted his teeth and nodded.

Now we can only take one step and see what happens.

......

The Audi family's palace is located in the center of Magic City, backed by the commercial street. People come and go at the entrance of the palace, which is very lively on weekdays.

As the largest construction equipment manufacturing family in Magic City, Audi has almost monopolized the entire Magic City construction industry market. The building materials for the gorgeous, tall, and even strangely designed buildings that can be seen in Magic City are basically purchased from the Audi family.

In the Wolfs Alliance, the Audi family, together with the Bugatti, Porsche, Bentley, Jetta, and Skoda families, are known as the six heroes of the alliance.

The strength and scope of these six families are so wide that even the Mercedes royal family is afraid of them.

The three of them arrived at the gate of the Audi family's palace in a carriage.

As soon as he got out of the car, Mu Ker's eyes were quickly drawn to the pale and huge palace in front of him.

The huge building in front of you is like a huge white marble, showing a charming red and gold color under the light of the setting sun. Although the building looks square, it gives people a dignified and majestic feeling.

Above the palace, there are four overlapping rings, which seem to be the emblem of the Audi family.

Just when Ke'er was in a daze, the palace suddenly changed color again, this time it became as green as emerald, and she sighed for a moment.

"God..."

In such a comparison, the Jing family's mansion seems to be nothing, and even has a bit of a rural feel...

The Duke looked at the building in front of him, and his expression became much more solemn.

If he stepped into this place, he really didn't know what would happen tonight.

In the Magic City, no one dares to go against the Alliance. Naturally, he doesn't want to do so because he doesn't pay the protection fee. It's because the funds on hand are really not sufficient.

But who can understand him.

If you don't pay, then you are a villain.

Some things are destined to be wrong at every step, which is why everyone says that adults' choices are the most difficult to make.

One wrong step and you may fall into an abyss.

At this time, Jing Chen, who had been silent on the side, suddenly patted his father on the shoulder.

Gave him a confident smile.

In fact, the Duke didn't quite understand.

But he didn't say much.

At this time, he still chose to believe in his son.

66. Undercurrent surging

There is also a huge square in front of the palace, which is used for passers-by to come in for sightseeing and sketching.

The Audi family is very generous in this regard, and they will never let go of any opportunity to attract investment.

So you can see that the square is lined with many buildings and decorations, including artificial lakes and villas, which are used by servants of the Audi family.

Even if it is a villa for servants, its cost is sky-high, and it uses the best building materials on the market.

The three people quickly moved forward in front of the square and soon arrived in front of the palace gate.

If you are an ordinary passerby, you can go back when you get here, because the Audi family's palace is absolutely inaccessible to ordinary people.

Even the Duke was stopped at the door, and could only enter after showing an invitation.

If this palace looks very majestic and luxurious from the outside, then when you actually enter the palace, a golden world appears in front of your eyes.

The three of them looked at everything golden in front of them, each with different moods.

The Duke, who is also a businessman, could only sigh helplessly when he saw a building of this scale. Mu Ke'er was so shocked that she couldn't say a word. Her little cherry mouth was open and it was difficult to close it.

As for Jingchen, Jingchen made a "cut" sound.

That's it?

When I was in the ancient tomb, I also saw mountains and waters made of gold. No matter how powerful and expensive your buildings are, can they still be more expensive than gold?

The three of them walked inside for a while. After seeing a group of people in formal attire, the Duke stopped and turned to Jingchen and said, "I will greet those people one by one in a while. You Be polite too, you know?”

Jing Chen nodded.

So the three of them walked through the crowd.

Everyone quickly noticed the three of them.

Mainly because Miao Ker's side was so dazzling that other people who were still chatting quickly noticed it.

After noticing the sight, the Duke also began to introduce them one by one from near to far.

"This is the great elder of the Bugatti family, Chiron Bugatti."

"This is the eldest elder of the Porsche family, Kaiyan Porsche."

"This is Continental Bentley."

"Oh, this is Vakan Aston Martin."

Following his father, Jingchen also greeted the most talkative people in these big families one by one.

But he always felt like he was visiting a car show, even though what he saw in front of him was not a car...

Here the Duke was still introducing Jingchen, and soon a voice came from behind.

"Callis, Duke of Jin En. Calis."

The Duke turned around hastily, and a richly dressed lady appeared in his sight.
