C274 The Older the Stronger
The manor covered a vast area. After the iron gate was opened, a long welcoming path led to the ancient castle. The guards in uniform stood on both sides of the road, bowing and saluting respectfully when the Rolls Royce passed by.
The car stopped at the entrance of the ancient castle. Two groups of servants in uniform were already waiting there.
Andrew was the first to get out of the car and opened the door for Xia Dong. Andrew bent down and carried Xiaoguai out of the car. Another bodyguard came forward and supported Xia Dong's hand as they walked out of the car.
"Miss, Miss, welcome back!" The servants greeted them in neat Italian.
"Thank you. " Xia Dong responded with a smile.
A white-haired foreign man in his fifties said with a smile, "Miss, Little Miss, you are finally back. "
"Robert, long time no see. " Xia Dong smiled and hugged him.
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for a year. Miss has grown so tall. " Robert sighed and looked at her belly. He exclaimed, "Ah, Miss, the baby is already so big!"
"Yeah, that's why I came to Rome to wait for delivery. " Xia Dong smiled and shrugged.
"Miss, Little Miss, the boss has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go in first. " Robert was Tomac's most trusted subordinate and also his right-hand man.
The interior of the castle was shockingly large. It was decorated in a combination of the middle and west. The extravagance of the nobles revealed a rich eastern style, noble and elegant.
Robert and Xia Dong walked in front. Andrew carried Xiaoguai and walked in the back. They passed through the wide hall and went up the ancient and elegant stairs. Their feet stepped on the thick Persian carpet and passed through the corridor with oil paintings hanging on it. Finally, they stopped outside two heavy oak doors.
Robert smiled and said, "Miss, the boss is in the study room. "
"Okay, thank you. " Xia Dong held the door handle and pushed the door open. The first thing she saw were rows of wooden bookshelves. Rather than calling it a study room, it was more appropriate to call it a small library. It was two to three hundred square meters in size.
The fragrance of the ink filled the entire room. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were covered by thick curtains. A tall wooden table was placed in front of two rows of ancient bookshelves and a tall figure sat in front of the desk.
He was about sixty years old, with a head full of silver hair and a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. His light blue eyes. He had a high nose bridge, and the tip of his nose was slightly hooked downwards. When she didn't smile, she looked cold. Although this face was filled with the vicissitudes of time, it couldn't resist the charming charm.
He was Tomac, a person who caused the entire Italian mafia to tremble in fear. He single-handedly founded the world's largest arms organization, "Dark Night. "
Tomac stood up. "Look who it is. My cute Xia and good boy!" He spread his arms and had a bright smile on his face.
"Father. . . "
"Gan Grandpa - -"
Xia Dong and Xiaoguai both walked towards him. One hugged his waist, while the other hugged his legs.
"You two little things, it has been so long. If you don't come to see me, the old man will be lonely. " Tomac patted Xia Dong's back, then bent down and picked Xiaoguai up. His face rubbed against her cute little face and said in fluent Mandarin, "Good boy, do you miss Gan Grandpa?"
"Yes!" Xiaoguai kissed Tomac's cheek loudly and nodded heavily.
Tomac smiled brightly. "How much do you miss me?"
"I miss you very much. I miss you so much that my hair almost fell off. " Xiaoguai playfully patted the little hat on her head and stuck out her tongue cutely.
Tomac laughed loudly. "Little guy, you are becoming more and more glib-tongued. You are like your brother now! But I really like it!"
"Father, quickly put Xiaoguai down. Don't be tired. "
Tomac blew his beard and glared at her. " Xia, I am not an ordinary old man. Obediently this bit of weight is not enough to pressure me. "
"Alright, alright. I know you are good. Please sit down!" Xia Dong supported his shoulder and pushed him onto the chair. She also sat down on the sofa beside him.
"Father, it has been so long. I did not come to see you. Are you alright?"
"I'm very well. I had a fight with the old man from the Phil Family a while ago. " Tomac proudly boasted, "Of course. In the end, I won. That old man bowed and admitted defeat on the spot. "2
"Father, you are really old and strong!"
Tomac liked eastern culture very much. He could understand Xia Dong's idioms, and he also liked to use idioms.
"That's true. Back then, I was invincible when I wiped out an entire army. " As soon as he talked about the things that happened in the past, he started to talk endlessly.
The three of them talked about a lot of happy things. Xiaoguai was a little tired. Tomac asked the housekeeper to send them to their rooms to rest.
The next day at breakfast, Tomac asked about Baili Han. Xia Dong looked at Xiaoguai and then used Italian to briefly explain her current situation. Tomac did not say anything and directly asked someone to contact the hospital and send Xiaoguai in two days. As for Xia Dong, he also asked people to contact the best doctor to treat her.
Tomac had a kind smile on his face, "Xia. Did you tell Shen about your coming to Rome?"
Xia Dong shook her head. "I haven't told him yet. "
"This is your fault. If Shen knew that you were looking for me, he would definitely be angry with you. "
Xia Dong smiled bitterly, "I don't want to either. I just don't know how to face him. Furthermore, I don't want to trouble him anymore. "
Tomac said with a serious expression, "You are wrong. Even if you didn't accept Shen's feelings, you are still as close as siblings. You are also my family. There is no trouble or trouble between us. This relationship that is thicker than blood should still be maintained. "
Xia Dong was startled. What her foster father said was right. She liked to run away too much and had insulted the relationship between her and Beitang Shen. She said solemnly, "Foster father, I know what to do now. "
Tomac smiled gently, "Very good. Foster father has always valued the two of you. I hope that the two of you can be as close as brother and sister in the future. "
Xia Dong's eyes were somewhat sore. She still remembered it until now. She and Beitang Shen had just gone to Japan not long ago. She wanted to get used to Japan as soon as possible. One night, after class, she went home. She ran into an injured foreign old man in a dark alley. She saved the old man without hesitation. With a big belly, she carried him for a kilometer and sent him to the hospital.
After that, Beitang Shen found out that the old man she saved was Tomac. Tomac was being chased by his enemies. Beitang Shen did not abandon them. Instead, he used the Mitsui Team's power to protect them.
Later on, Tomac took Beitang Shen and Xia Dong as his adopted sons and daughters. He didn't have any children. He only had one nephew, and he treated them as if they were his own children. Under his instructions, everyone in the family respectfully called them young master and young lady.
