“I learned about physiology from my sister Valentina. She said that boys need to clean their private parts quickly and thoroughly, and even turn them inside out, otherwise they can easily accumulate dirt and germs. I just forgot to wash them... Let me help you.”
What exactly is Valentina teaching Marissa?
"No need, it's only daytime now. I'll wash myself when I get home tonight."
"No way! Physiological knowledge says that boys are lazy and avoid cleaning because they're not used to it. This is for Xiao Chunan's health. I'll find a brush and help you clean yourself!"
"That won't do!"
Do you think this is some kind of nun's swiping game?!
----------
When it was time to go back for lunch, Chu Yinan did not call for a driver to pick him up, but chose to wait for a group of carriages to pass.
At this time, the activities at the monastery have ended, and everyone except for a few maids who were responsible for wrapping things up has already left.
Chu Yinan didn't want Diliya and Chun to be called over to be his driver shortly after they had finished their morning's work and settled back at the manor.
After Glory Island opened, there were indeed more people. Fortunately, no one was fighting with him for the carriage, and he soon returned to the Lefie family manor. He pulled Marissa to the dining table and secured a seat for her.
Logically speaking, there should have been other clansmen at the dinner table today. On the way back in the carriage, Chu Yinan saw many luxury cars parked in front of the manor gates.
As it turned out, the staff at the Leffe family's house was the same as at breakfast, which meant that Aunt Morgan was determined not to let the elders come back and suffer this humiliation.
Although he didn't think the female father was that extreme, he figured it was probably just the aunt's way of showing filial piety to her elders, to prevent the clan elders from suddenly suffering a stroke.
"Where did you go this morning?" Yan Liu patted Chu Yinan's head and then stroked Marissa's hair.
Actually, she knew that Chu Yinan had gone to the monastery with Heinrich to join in the fun, but she still asked about it.
"After watching the old nun toss the baby around during the baptism at the convent, I went to play with Marissa."
"I was wondering why you were nowhere to be seen after Heinrich came back. Remember to go to the exhibition with Aunt Liu after your afternoon nap. Yutang and Marissa, do you want to come?"
"The exhibition should last for several days, there's no need to go today when there are the most people, right?" Bei Yutang is the type who doesn't like crowds.
"Exhibition?" Marissa had no idea what it was and was completely confused.
Chu Yinan chimed in from the side, "It's an underwear expo. Aunt Liu runs a women's intimate apparel brand, so of course we'll go back and take a look."
"Is Chu Yinan going?" Marissa's meaning was simple: if Chu Yinan went, she would go with him.
Chapter 132 Auntie is here too?
Sigh, does he really have a choice about whether or not to go?
Chu Yinan pondered that even without the strange connection of the matching system, if Aunt Liu really intended to take him there, he wouldn't have much room to refuse.
Fortunately, Marissa didn't know that Aunt Liu was also in that channel. Just thinking about it gave her a headache. But for Chu Yinan, it was already a blessing that the older sister he met on his first blind date wasn't categorized into that channel.
Chu Yinan spoke in a very natural tone, as if he were not forced to, "I'll go. It'll be good to broaden my horizons. I've been wanting to see what kind of brands are on Glory Island for a long time!"
“Then I’ll go too.” Marissa made up her mind decisively.
"What about Yu Tang and Heinrich?" Yan Liu looked at the "father and daughter" duo. She liked lively gatherings, the more people the better.
Heinrich shook her head in refusal. She didn't really want to participate in those kinds of exhibitions; firstly, she found them boring, and secondly...
"Let Yutang and Xiao Chunan go in my place. If I go with them, people will keep coming up to greet me, which is quite annoying."
The new aristocracy on Glory Island values nobility, status, and uniqueness, so they disdain AI, which is becoming a common feature in people's lives.
Having servants care for miracles is a sign of superior status and a highlight of a long-standing tradition.
Ironically, after learning that Heinrich was getting closer and closer to AI, and even to the point of entrusting her with the management of a factory of AI machines, families began flocking to curry favor with her.
Even though Heinrich would lose her phone and change her number from time to time, there would still be guys who would contact her immediately.
Bei Yutang has inherited her family's introverted and homebody personality; she's not the type to enjoy socializing. But since Heinrich said so, she might as well go with him.
"Okay, let's try to go after the afternoon nap, otherwise it'll be too tiring to walk all that way."
"Of course, no problem!" Yan Liu was very happy to have recruited so many people into the team.
Morgan ate her meal silently, only putting down her knife and fork and wiping her lips with a napkin after Heinrich's family meeting ended. She scrutinized a new maid in the corner of the dining room and said strangely:
"Heinrich, is that Veronica's doll? The new AI technology?"
"It's not exactly new technology anymore. Considering the time it took to develop it, we should be preparing for two iterations by now. It looks pretty good, right?"
...Is this already two versions behind in AI technology?
Before lunch, the doll had been there all morning. Morgan had checked it closely and found that apart from its weight and the fact that its extension and dazedness needed improvement, it was not significantly different from a real person.
The Leffe family has a rubber business, and the skin texture of dolls is very difficult to simulate using their own developed technology. In other words, it's impossible to pirate them all. Fortunately, the rubber business is not particularly important to the family, otherwise the person in charge of that business would be racking their brains to win over Heinrich.
Morgan stared at the doll maid with a very serious expression, then looked away, deciding to avoid seeing her altogether.
"That's so real. You deliberately dressed up as Veronica, were you planning to invite her over and embarrass her?"
Heinrich couldn't give a definite answer: "I can only say we'll see how it goes. I can't make up my mind for now. We'll see if things get interesting. I've heard that Bonapartes are making quite a stir outside."
"He's quite big, but he's relatively well-behaved on the island. Veronica has it tough, trying to promote her son, expanding his network and giving him accolades, but it seems to have had little effect." Morgan glanced at Chu Yinan, clearly aware of Veronica's previous search for the little guy.
Heinrich frowned, as if he had just found a Peppa Pig printed on an academic journal, and said speechlessly, "What a useless thing. Instead of trying to make the most of what you've worked so hard for, you treat it as a stepping stone for the next generation. That's all the courage you have. I'm even thinking of throwing this doll back."
Morgan was quite interested in Heinrich's reaction; it was rare to see her so disappointed.
In the eyes of his family, who were considered outsiders, he probably had some approval of Veronica. So when he learned that Veronica planned to use the fruits of her labor to gild the rotten wood she had given birth to, his deep contempt made Heinrich lose all interest in finding amusement in her.
"So, does that mean Veronica escaped unscathed?" Morgan asked, looking at her with amusement.
Heinrich didn't care about her gaze or thoughts, and casually shrugged: "Probably. I'll take this doll to her for a quick look and then send it back to be destroyed. Is there any fish farm around here? I'd like to go fishing for a few fish."
"You probably mean to ask if any of your tribesmen have been fishing recently?"
"also!"
Chu Yinan listened in the whole time, but unfortunately didn't understand anything. He could only roughly guess that they wanted to prank that long-legged mature woman? But it seemed like they gave up afterward.
Because the feeling of recognizing a stranger at first glance was novel, Chu Yinan almost kept staring at his beautiful, mature aunt with blonde hair, much like Heinrich.
The last time I saw her, she was dressed casually in a shirt and a mature woman's skirt, but today, perhaps considering the day she was going to book a room at Glory Island, she was dressed much more formally and solemnly, and her whole demeanor was much more dashing, like Heinrich.
Morgan noticed the little guy's gaze and met his eyes. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Chu Yinan was caught peeking, and hurriedly made an excuse, "Well, I just wanted to ask Aunt Morgan if she wanted to go to the exhibition with us? If Aunt Morgan is busy, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Morgan Lefebvre rarely sought to understand information that was irrelevant to his own affairs, and at this moment, he had no idea what the exhibition Chu Yinan was talking about was.
She had seen this child when Chu Yinan was first taken away by Yan Liu and Heinrich, and after all these years, he really hadn't changed at all.
The reason why Heinrich was chosen by the AI is a mystery on Glory Island. Could it be related to this little guy?
Chu Yinan asked without any hope, but the beautiful aunt agreed, "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll go out and relax, take a walk."
"Huh?"
How could you agree to that? You don't seem like the type to just wander around aimlessly...
Heinrich looked at Morgan with surprise: "Are you planning to buy new underwear or stockings?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yan Liu was very welcoming of Morgan's unexpected addition and was even happy to go shopping with such a sister. "It's an exhibition of lingerie brands. I'm planning to go and take a look at the products here this afternoon. I can pick out a few for you while I'm at it."
...I see. The family that makes the lingerie brand has no conflict with the Leffe family, so it's fine to go.
"Ah."
------
P.S.: I'm so frustrated. I was planning to take a ten-minute nap at 7 p.m., but when I opened my eyes, it was already 11 p.m.
Chapter 133 The Noble Couple's Design
The exhibition was held in several cities on Rongguang Island. Although each city had all the necessary facilities, it was absurd that the commercial area was larger than the residential area.
Everything on this island is basically decided by the new nobles. A grand commercial plaza was shut down at a single order and turned into a Glory Day brand exhibition.
Chu Yinan followed Yan Liu and strolled through two floors of Russell Shopping Plaza, broadening his horizons.
“Aunt Morgan, why does this plaza look like a World Expo? There are so many brand booths upstairs.” Chu Yinan glanced down every now and then; the semi-transparent floor revealed the exhibition below.
All kinds of brands are represented, including major game console manufacturers showcasing their newly developed technologies, as well as hair care products demonstrating hair regrowth technology.
Morgan LeFy briefly explained:
"Because this is a business expo. It's not quite accurate to call Glory Island an island of nobles. It should be more of a gathering island of historically prominent families with a rich merchant background. The exhibits below are the island's own businesses or businesses that the nobles have invested heavily in and partnered with. They are all here to show off their achievements in the new year and to measure their family's wealth and status."
Chu Yinan secretly guessed that the lower the level of the exhibition, the more important and prestigious it was, because the exhibitions on the higher floors were basically entertainment-oriented.
Women's underwear and stockings are such wonderful things, yet they're still on the upper floors.
"Where is the Lefève family's exhibition?" Chu Yinan wasn't particularly interested, but he still asked the question symbolically to express his politeness and respect for the host family.
"No, or rather, it's unnecessary. With that bastard Heinrich around, the Leffe family doesn't need to prove its strength. There are other families like ours that don't need to prove themselves. Some have no desire to fight and are too lazy to prove themselves, while others are equally capable."
When Morgan called Heinrich a "bastard," it was more out of helplessness.
"What else? I saw a lot of famous companies down there. Could it be that other families are even more powerful than those down there?" Bei Yutang, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation and became interested.
She wasn't quite sure how Heinrich had become so influential; in her memory, he was just a parent with a very playful nature.
“North of Glory Island, there is a city called Luo City, next to which is the Qu family’s manor, but they rarely visit Glory Island.”
Having never heard of it, Bei Yutang gave up on inquiring and focused her attention back on her original goal—to attend the lingerie expo.
After a brief pause in the conversation, Yan Liu brought up Morgan again, but this time the topic was more feminine.
“Morgan, why do you dress so formally and seriously at home, but become so casual outside? You’re just being a bit too protective; you’ve even put on a black veil, like a lady’s hat.”
Strictly speaking, this veil hat is just a hair ornament pinned to the side of the head, except that two pieces of black veil hang down from the ornament to cover half of the face, maximizing the sense of mystery and elegance.
"To avoid being bothered by others coming up to greet me, it's really annoying. Heinrich is used to wearing neutral clothes and doesn't like women's clothing. Otherwise, he would have dressed up and come out with you guys."
Chu Yinan took out his phone and glanced at it; the date with Aunt Liu was already in progress.
That's weird, isn't that a loophole? As long as you find an opportunity to use the excuse of "going out with friends," many of the subtle awkwardnesses of blind date tasks can be easily resolved.
If Chu Yinan has a new blind date in the future, she might be able to say, "We're not going on a date, we're just going out to take advantage of AI's freebies for a trip. You can bring your pretty best friend, or even your pretty mom, bring a few more!" That way, the other person won't be so wary.
The lingerie expo was deserted; very few people came to browse, and almost everyone was there for the other items downstairs.
