Chapter 214 The Significance of This Voyage
"So it's Miss Aisley. You seem to be somewhat familiar with Mr. Wilfors?"
When the man spoke, he clenched his teeth unconsciously, as if the name had a very bad feeling for him.
Gu Chaoxi turned his head to look at Pei Yan, and both of them had the same question in their eyes.
She turned around and shook her head: "How do you think I know Mr. Wilfors very well?"
The man smiled when he heard the voice and tilted his head to look at her.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kraken. I was there at the fireworks show last night."
"Oh."
It turned out to be the case.
Maybe it's because you saw her talking to Wilfors that you thought she and Wilfors were very familiar with each other?
She smiled and shook her head gently: "I'm not very familiar with Wilfors. To be honest, I'm more familiar with Mr. Aesop."
She blinked and looked at the Kraken.
Pei Yan also raised his eyes and looked over.
Gu Chaoxi was betting that the man in front of him was dissatisfied with Wilfors.
I bet he knew Aesop, the feud between Aesop and Melton, and that Wilfors was involved.
If this person really dislikes Wilfors, he must know something about Aesop.
Sure enough, the man was stunned for a moment, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I see. Do Miss Aisley and Miss Isa know each other as well?"
"Of course." She nodded.
Kraken smiled and said nothing for a moment.
He raised his hand, and a man next to him immediately poured wine into the glass. He also took two clean empty glasses and poured a glass for Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan.
When the wine glass was pushed in front of him, Gu Chaoxi did not move from his chair, but just leaned back and looked at it.
The atmosphere became a little solid for a while.
Gu Chaoxi reached out and pinched the wine glass in front of him. The red liquid inside looked somewhat tempting.
She leaned forward and could smell the mellow fragrance emanating from inside.
This wine is brewed well.
He raised the cup and took a small sip, then looked at the Kraken again.
She didn't say anything, just watched, until Zhou Youyou beside her couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere anymore.
"Hey, why don't you guys chat? Why are you always silent?"
She reached out for the cup in front of her, clinked her hands with Gu Chaoxi's quickly, and took a big sip.
Kraken reached out and pulled her arm down, stopping her from drinking any more, with a hint of reproach.
"Lisa, you can't drink that much."
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows. Wow, the relationship between these two people is not ordinary.
Pei Yan was naturally aware of this problem, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little: "Mr. Kraken, have you known Miss Lisa before?"
"Of course, she is the one that I really want."
what.
When Gu Chaoxi looked over there, Zhou Youyou was raising his chin with some pride, but Shen Lan's expression was still not very good.
Maybe she was not used to being among this group of people. After all, they were all illusions from other planes and were not good people.
From this point of view, Zhou Youyou's ability to accept is much better than Shen Lan's.
Maybe it’s because he has seen a lot of storms and waves.
She laughed softly, but quickly stopped smiling.
Because Kraken said, "Miss Ashley, would you be interested in knowing the significance of this voyage?"
She blinked and subconsciously looked at Pei Yan first.
Pei Yan's eyes met hers, but he quickly looked away and looked at Kraken seriously.
"Mr. Kraken, what does this mean?"
He said nothing, but waved his hand, and the other men around him stood up.
Gu Chaoxi frowned, but these people didn't do anything. They just left their seats and walked towards the deck.
This is, clearing the area?
Looking at the people who had left, there were only five of them left.
Zhou Youyou blinked, still leaning back in his chair, and said nothing.
"I just want to tell you two a story. Don't be so nervous."
He chuckled and tapped a hand on the table.
The atmosphere was silent.
Shen Lan slowly leaned forward and placed his hands on the table.
She looked a little nervous, holding the cup in front of her with her hand, her face a little pale.
Kraken looked far behind Gu Chaoxi, as if recalling something through something. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"In fact, this ship is not meant to make us rich. It's just that Wilfors wants all of us to be buried with him."
"Buried with him?"
As the heir of the Wilfors family, with such great power, would he be willing to abandon everything and take everyone with him to death?
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to support his chin, and was somewhat curious about what kind of story Kraken could tell.
At first, the relationship between Kraken and Wilfors was quite good.
At a very early time, the Kraken family was almost as beautiful as the Wilfors family.
The two of them knew each other when they were young.
As heirs of their respective families, they naturally have a lot in common.
So, since childhood, the two of them often stayed together to play or study.
This has made the relationship between the two people very close. Some people even say that when they grow up, the two families will join forces and will not leave any room for others.
Kraken once thought so too. He believed that their friendship would last forever and nothing would come between them.
Until Wilfors's mother died.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are just ordinary things, but at that time, a shocking secret was revealed.
Wilfors is not the lady's biological son.
This news spread throughout the city like the wind, and everyone knew that the future heir of the Wilfors family was not the lady's biological son.
Kraken naturally heard the news, but he didn't believe it.
He had met Wilfors's father many times, and the two were simply cut from the same cloth.
Do you think such a person is not your biological child?
Yes, he may not be his wife’s biological son, but he is definitely his father’s biological son.
So, everyone guessed that for so many years, Mrs. Wilfors had been raising someone else's son.
Kraken went to find Wilfors at that time, but saw him frantically searching for something in the attic.
He wouldn't let anyone into the attic, including his best friend Kraken, who came to visit him.
That day, Wilfors locked himself in the attic and cried bitterly. After that, he became a little taciturn and was no longer the lively and active boy he used to be.
He emerged within two years, quickly took over all the affairs of the Wilfors family, and gradually cut off all ties with everyone.
This includes the Kraken.
When Kraken realized that he was being alienated, his family also encountered a major event that led to rapid decline.
After this, Kraken had even less time to find Wilfors to find out the truth.
He could only watch the changes in Wilfors like a bystander while trying his best to drag his family.
