Chapter 1174

These stones were very similar to the ones at Professor Silverlake’s Ander Morgan’s house.

They looked ordinary, but from a certain angle, they would emit a strange fluorescent color.

However, this light was very faint. If one did not observe carefully, ordinary people would not notice it at all.

It was only when Melody Fox entered with 120% vigilance that he acutely noticed those few rocks.

“Miss, this way please.”

Seeing that Melody Fox did not follow, the waiter asked in confusion, “What are you looking at?”

Melody Fox calmly retracted her gaze and said, “Your rockery is very exquisite. I also want to set up a similar one in my new home. I wonder where you bought this rockery in this manmade fountain? Can you give me your contact information?”

The waiter said awkwardly, “I just came here not long ago, so I don’t know these things…”

Melody Fox smiled took off the ear stud from her ear and stuffed it into the waiter’s hand.

“I really want such a fake mountain. Please help me ask…”

When the waiter saw that it was a Chanel earring, he immediately agreed. “No problem! I’ll send you to the private room and ask immediately.”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “But my husband doesn’t like me buying these fancy things. If you help me ask, please tell me in private.”

“Alright, Miss. I’ll help you ask around right away!”

After the waiter sent Melody Fox to the entrance of Lan Pavilion, he left quickly.

Spencer could not help but ask, “Miss Fox, that…”

“Shh!” Melody Fox gestured for Spencer to keep quiet. Spencer quickly covered his mouth.

Melody Fox didn’t know if the soundproofing in this private room was good, but she guessed that it had a lot to do with Li Ming and his wife, so it was best not to mention anything at the door.

She looked up at the private room and saw that the window of the private room was facing the rockery. Her eyes instantly turned cold.

It was indeed a Hongmen Banquet.

Knock knock. Melody Fox knocked twice on the door of the private room.

Soon, someone came to open the door.

It was Ken Swanson who opened the door.

“You’re here?”

“Okay.” Melody Fox nodded and was led inside by Ken Swanson as if nothing had happened.

Lan Pavilion’s private room was very big. The huge round table could accommodate 20 people, and there was a cafe room beside it.

Li Ming and his Miaojiang wife were sitting in a row, drinking coffee brewed by Division Coffee.

When they saw Melody Fox, the two of them almost put down coffee cups. They stood up and greeted her like loving elders.

“Melody, you’re finally here. We were just talking about you.”

The person who spoke was Li Ming, Ken Swanson’s uncle, and Ramon Swanson’s biological brother.

Although he was older than Ramon Swanson, he was naturally a little stupid. Whether it was in school or business, he had always been suppressed by Ramon Swanson.

In the end, the Swanson Group’s inheritance rights fell into the hands of his second son, Ramon Swanson.

And it turned out that the old chairman’s decision was not wrong.

After Ramon Swanson inherited the Swanson Group, the Swanson Group became even more powerful and became the leader of Halcyon’s business world.

However, Melody Fox sized Li Ming up. His chubby body made him look very simple and honest at first glance.

However, Melody Fox felt that she could not see anything stupid about the other party. Furthermore, this man’s eyes looked very shrewd.

Eyes could not deceive people.

Or rather, a person’s gaze could not deceive Melody Fox.

As for Li Ming’s wife from Miaojiang, she was wearing Miaojiang’s clothes today. She had narrow sleeves, a short shirt, and a pleated skirt. Her hair was wrapped in a bun, and her unique clothes made it difficult for Melody Fox not to recognize her.

And their compliment made Liu Liu look at her with a smile on her lips. She had a unique charm to her.

She was also a very shrewd woman. She knew very well what her advantage was.

Kua Rangliu’s advantage was her smile.

Her smile was like a spring breeze, making people quickly let down their guard.

Unfortunately, Melody Fox was a woman. This trick did not work on her.

Melody Fox glanced at the two of them and roughly determined their personalities. She smiled and met Li Ming’s gaze. She replied, “Hello, Uncle. Hello, Aunt. I’m sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late.”

“Not late, not late. The dishes have just started serving. Let’s have a glass of coffee first?”

Melody Fox sat beside Ken Swanson with a smile.

Kua Rangliu chuckled and said, “I’ve long heard of you, but I haven’t had the chance to meet you. Now that I’ve seen you today, your temperament is indeed extraordinary. No wonder even someone with such high standards like Ken is loyal to you.”

“Auntie, you flatter me. I’m just an ordinary person.”

“Look at you, you’re too humble. I saw the video of you taking the

university entrance examination online. You’ll definitely have a bright future.”

Melody Fox smiled and did not continue to praise Rangliu.

Kua Rangliu had a unique temperament that made people feel that she was especially sincere.

However, Melody Fox knew that the more such a person was, the more dangerous he would be, especially when she praised Rangliu.

Kua Rangliu saw that Melody Fox did not respond and did not seem to care. His attitude was still very enthusiastic as he pulled her to chat about family matters.

“Melody, when is your wedding?”

“About a year or two.”

“What about the child? What do you mean by that?”

“Well… I haven’t thought about it yet.”

“Let me tell you, you have to have a child as soon as possible. You’ve seen my age. I can’t do anything even if I want to.” Praise made Liu look distressed. Her tone and expression were no different from that of an ordinary woman.

This made Melody Fox even more alarmed.

This woman was not easy to deal with.

While the two women were chatting, Li Ming was also talking to Ken Swanson about family matters.

“How was your grandma before you came out?”

Ken Swanson nodded and said, “Everything is fine.”

“That’s good. I haven’t seen her for more than half a year. Your aunt and I were thinking that when we’re free, we’ll move to Silverlake to accompany Mom, who is also your grandmother. When you go back, tell your father about this too.”

Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows slightly.

“You’re moving to Silverlake?”

“Yeah.”

“Didn’t you say in the past that you couldn’t stand the humidity and cold of winter in the south and the humidity of summer? Why did you suddenly think of moving to Silverlake?”

Li Ming’s smile stiffened.

He continued naturally, “Actually, it’s because of me. I’ve always been a little unaccustomed to the environment in Insterimond. Perhaps the air is too dry, so he wants to go with me to Silverlake and stay in there for good. At the same time, he wants to be filial to our mother. We can’t just let your father do everything and not do anything, right?”

“I see… I’ll talk to my father and ask him to help you choose a good place to stay.”

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll have to trouble you and your father to stay?”

Kuarang Liu smiled and patted Ken Swanson’s shoulder.

When Melody Fox saw this scene, a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
