He couldn’t quite grasp the situation. Don Albert was merely Charlie Wade’s younger brother, and in terms of wealth, strength, and social standing, he was significantly beneath him.
Yet, when Don Albert uttered the words “one of us,” it struck a chord within me…
I found myself genuinely touched, even a bit ttered.
Without hesitation, I lifted my ss, stood up, and addressed Don Albert: “Mr. Albert is absolutely right; we’re all family. Let’s toast, Mr. Albert!”
Now it was Don Albert’s turn to feel ttered. He thought to himself, “Wow, I, Don Albert, am in the presence of Master Ye. What an incredible honor! Who would have predicted that the second-inmand of the renowned Rothschild family would raise a ss to me? Next week marks the anniversary of myte father’s passing. When I visit his grave, I can just imagine him jumping up and scolding me for boasting…”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Noticing Don Albert sitting there with a grin yet not epting the toast, Steve quickly leaned in and whispered, “Mr. Albert? Mr. Albert?”
Don Albert snapped back to reality, expressing a hint of regret: “Ah, Mr. Rothschild, it would be wonderful if you could stay a few more days. We’re not quite close enough to be brothers yet!”
He then promptly stood up, raised his ss, and extended it toward Steve, proiming loudly: “Mr. Rothschild, I toast to you!”
Steve replied with a smile, “Let’s skip the toasts for now and do it all togetherter!”
“It must be deeper, definitely deeper!” Don Albert chimed in happily. “Next time you arrive in Aurous Hill,e straight to Tianxiang Mansion as soon as yound. I’ll host a banquet in your honor! We’re all brothers here, so treat this ce like your own home. While you’re in Aurous Hill, feel free toe by anytime for a meal. Just ask the chef to whip up whatever you like from the menu—no need to ce an order!”
Steve suddenly found himself enjoying the strong underworld vibe at the table, feeling quite pleased. He said earnestly, “If Mr. Wade and Mr. Albert n to visit the United States in the future, please let me know ahead of time. I’ll personally greet you at the airport and take care of everything for both of you!”
After sharing this, he nced at Zhou Liangyun nearby, thumped his chest, and assured him, “Mr. Zhou, don’t worry. I’m not like my father. He’s an old-fashioned man, always preupied with the Four-sided Treasure Tower. I’m different; those treasures belong to China anyway. If I ever be the head of the Rothschild family, I will make it a point to return all Chinese artifacts. By then, you’ll be able to return to the United States without worrying about anyone’s opinion!”
As Steve made this deration, he couldn’t help but look at Charlie Wade, curious to see his reaction to such bold ims and aspirations.
Although Charlie Wade wore a slight smile, he mused to himself, “It’s true, men everywhere are the same. Once they’ve had a few drinks, they all tend to exaggerate.”
Zhou Liangyun, standing by, understood that it would likely take two to three decades or even longer for Steve to rise to patriarch, so he simply listened for amusement, smiling and nodding while raising his ss: “Thank you in advance, Mr. Rothschild!”
Steve responded earnestly, “Why thank you? Isn’t this my responsibility? I can’t control the British government or their royal family. Otherwise, I would demand they return all the Chinese artifacts in the British Museum!”
Then he turned to Charlie Wade again, his alcohol-induced confidence leading him to suggest, “Mr. Wade, what if I hire some mercenaries to reim all the Chinese cultural relics from the British Museum?”
Charlie Wade felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, smiling as he replied, “It doesn’t seem quite right for the British to have stolen Chinese artifacts, only to have the Americans assist in retrieving them. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but that approach isn’t advisable. It’s more fitting for the Chinese to reim their own heritage in the future.”<fnc1a5> Original content can be found at Find[?]ovel</fnc1a5>
