Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 31: Jealous little Alice

Little Alice seems to have a very hostile attitude towards He Wenbin's sister He Xiaoxiang.

Because after washing, He Xiaohua, who changed into new clothes, looked with the gentleness and softness of a classical oriental woman.

Under the lining of Western-style dresses, it still looks dignified and elegant, demure and gentle.

It's a pity that He Xiaoxiang is too thin and thin because of long-term malnutrition, and her figure is not much.

Bruce had already asked He Wenbin, their brother and sister, one was eighteen years old and the other was sixteen.

The reason why it looks relatively small is mainly because of long-term malnutrition, coupled with the long-term wandering outside for many years, and there is no time and energy to recuperate.

I don't know how they survived with great difficulty.

Little Alice is different.

Even if you lose your parents. Her current life is also very superior, and she is about to become a little princess.

Her previous original family conditions were much better than He Wenbin's brothers and sisters.

She was ten years old.

White children at this age will have a very unique physiological trait - freckles!

Ten-year-old Alice's pink little face now has many small freckles, which looks very incongruous.

For He Xiaohua's smooth and delicate skin, white and red, and clean face, little Elebi is very yearning.

After He Xiaohua appeared, Little Alice's eyes never left He Xiaohua's body.

Little girls seem to be very greedy for their beloved things, especially the love of relatives for them, and they are even more intolerant of others.

Little Alice regards Bruce as her closest relative, so when she knows that He Xiaohua is the child taken in by Bruce, Little Alice's heart is full of alarm bells.

I'm afraid that this little girl who suddenly appeared and has a completely different temperament from herself will take away Bruce's love from her.

Lunch time.

At Molly's invitation, Bruce and Hengda came out of the study.

Bruce kindly asked the He Wenbin brothers and sisters to come over and dine with everyone.

Neither Molly nor Handar have any opinion on this, and are even very happy to do so.

Only Little Alice has been pulling her little face since she saw He Xiaoxiang, and from time to time she secretly glanced at He Xiaohua, who was so nervous.

Little Alice's performance was naturally seen by the three adults.

It's just that the three adults didn't comment, just looked at each other and smiled.

Finally, little Ellie, who had endured it for a long time, asked: "Bruce, who is she?".

Little Alice pretended to be idle and pointed at He Xiaohua.

Bruce patted little Alice's little head and said, "She's a pitiful kid like you." "

"Then will she live with you like me in the future?" asked little Alice, with twinkle eyes.

There was anticipation in her eyes, as if she wanted Bruce to say the answer she expected.

However, Bruce's answer disappointed her after all.

Bruce picked up a napkin and wiped his hands, "I think so, Alice." They have no relatives anymore, and if I don't take them in, they may lose their lives. "

Little Alice let out an "oh" in disbelief and quietly buried her head in eating.

Suddenly, little Alice raised her head on a whim.

"Is she your little lover, Bruce?" asked little Alice.

The child's speech was so unbridled that the two big men, Bruce and Henda, almost squirted everything out of their mouths.

It was too much of a surprise.

I don't know who taught little Alice this?

Children in the West mature early, but they shouldn't understand these things at such a young age, right?

Bruce coughed for a while, and then couldn't laugh or cry.

He gave a strange look at Henda, and then at Molly.

The former just waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that he would never teach little Alice such boring knowledge.

The latter was particularly angry.

Because of Molly's identity and upbringing, she has no reason to teach little Alice such a serious knowledge.

"Alice, who taught you that?" asked Bruce angrily.

Little Alice was unscrupulous, and did not feel how lethal her words were, but raised her little head very proudly.

She thought her guess had hit Bruce's mind.

"I heard it when I heard Trisley and the others talking. They often get together and whisper, about rich men, lots and lots of lovers. Little Alice tilted her little head and said word by word.

"Bruce, I heard Molly say you're very, very rich right now, aren't you?" little Alice blinked at Bruce with big watery eyes.

Uh......

Bruce grabbed his hair and didn't know how to pick up little Ellie's silk.

"Oh, damn it, I'm going to get rid of Trisley, the idiots who don't know what to do. Look what they taught my little Alice?" Molly heard Little Alice's explanation, and Molly was so angry that she took the case on the spot.

Trilis, as little Alice speaks, is a maid hired by Hantec Manor.

This kind of boring time between people quietly talk about the affairs of the male host, and it is normal to look at the whole world.

Little Alice probably overheard a conversation about the private life of a rich man over their private affairs.

So I kept it in my heart.

Molly was naturally furious.

As the godmother of little Alice now, she dotes on little Alice so much, how can she allow the maid in the manor to take little Alice badly.

Handar was also a little embarrassed.

He was embarrassed that little Alice's words were not untargeted.

It can be said that no matter what era it is, men just like to steal fishy cats, let alone a rich man with huge wealth like Handar.

How could it be possible to resist guarding only one wife in the house and being indifferent to the fragrant temptations from outside?

It can be said that any man who has a little money has more or less women who have an unusual relationship outside.

In this respect, the hypocritical Westerners are not at all comparable to the traditional Orientals.

Due to doctrinal restrictions, men in the West are nominally allowed to have only one wife.

Relations between a man and a woman other than wives are to be spurned and punished by doctrine.

However, this kind of dogma can not restrain the nature of men.

Especially capable and powerful men, it is natural that there will be various ways to steal fish outside.

What's more, these upper-class elites, even if they don't take the initiative, unrestrained Western women will take the initiative to pounce on them.

In the West, it has become an open secret that rich and powerful men keep mistresses.

Unlike the powerful men in the East, who fell in love with any woman, he directly took home and became small.

Naturally, Handar also had an unknown number of lovers.

But the facts are facts, but they can be understood, but they cannot be spoken.

Who would have known that today I was pierced by a ten-year-old girl with such a soft word.

Handar was a little nervous, afraid that Molly would have some kind of conflict with him because of this.

Fortunately, Molly is also a very typical European and American lady, and she already knows the unspoken rules of these upper classes.

She's just angry that the good kid was being taught bad by a group of maids, which makes her feel a little sorry for Bruce's trust in her.

After all, little Alice was owed to her by Brusto, but she failed to teach little Alice well.

Molly was so angry that she couldn't even eat, and she was about to fire the maids who were chewing their tongues on the spot.

Bruce didn't expect things to come to this point, and hurriedly stopped the angry Molly.

He said apologetically: "Little Alice is still a child, and she has no taboos. Don't take it seriously, Molly!".

"Bruce, I'm sorry I didn't raise Alice well. Molly looked very guilty.

Bruce shook his head and said, "It's not your fault, Molly. I know you've done a lot for little Alice. "

Bruce hugged little Alice in his lap, stroked her hair, and said, "Maybe we should consider finding a school for Alice." Alice is now of school age. "

Bruce was right, Alice was indeed of school age. Handar hurriedly chimed in.

Molly was stunned before she came to her senses, nodded and said, "I was negligent, I'll have someone contact the school tomorrow." "

The

only one who is against it is little Alice.

Children are naturally not averse to going to school.

"Bruce, I was wrong, don't you send me to school, okay?".

Little Alice only now realizes that her words have had serious consequences.

When she thought that because of her words, she would lose her carefree, free and self-loving life, and she regretted it immensely.

Even the hostility to He Xiaohua has faded a lot.

"People have to learn, Alice! Only by studying more, can people understand more truths. Bruce walked the trail.

Just talking about it, Bruce always had a very familiar feeling.

"Alice, this matter is so decided, don't be naughty. Molly echoed solemnly.

Obviously, the "earth-shattering words" blurted out by little Alice just now made Molly realize that she should pay more attention to little Alice's education.

Little Alice seems to be quite afraid of Molly's godmother.

Seeing that even Molly had spoken, little Alice knew that the facts were irrevocable.

The little girl looked particularly lost.

After thinking about it, if I went to school, wouldn't I miss out on a lot of time with Bruce.

She looked at He Xiaohua, her beautiful eyes rolled, and she suddenly thought about it.

"Is she with me, Bruce, too? She's a kid too, and she should go to school. Little Alice pointed at He Xiaohua and said confidently.

Since she fell into the first place, then others don't want to be closer to Bruce than her.

This was the thought in little Alice's heart.

Little Alice's words surprised Bruce.

He didn't know how to arrange He Wenbin's brothers and sisters.

After being reminded by little Alice, Bruce felt that his eyes lit up.

Sending He Xiaohua to school is really a proper arrangement.

Anyway, he didn't really want to accept the two siblings as servants and slaves for him.

"Well, she also goes to school and accompanies you. You become very good friends, go to school together, play together. Bruce happily patted little Alice's little hand.

Molly also approves of this arrangement.

She seems to have an instinctive affection for pretty little girls. So, when Bruce proposed the arrangement, Molly smiled and nodded in praise.

So Bruce turned his gaze to He Wenbin.

He Wenbin didn't seem to pay attention to the conversation of the people at the table at all during this period, and he was always immersed in cooking.

Seeing Bruce's inquiring gaze, He Wenbin stopped his movements and said dryly: "As long as no one bullies my sister, I have no problem." "

Bruce nodded and asked, "Is Xiaohua literate? I mean she understands foreign languages?"

After all, it is a Mi Guo school, and He Xiaohua is a little older.

If she can't even read, then going to school is a bit of a problem.

Unexpectedly, He Wenbin replied without hesitation: "My sister and I both know some foreign languages, so it should be no problem to go to school." "

This time, Bruce's curiosity about the siblings became even stronger.

Dependent on each other, wandering brothers and sisters in a foreign land, but they know English and can read.

It seems that the secret gods on the He brothers and sisters are not simple.

You must know that in this era, the vast majority of people in the Dragon Kingdom don't speak foreign languages, and they don't even know a few of their own languages.

And this pair of wandering He brothers and sisters actually have such a deep cultural foundation, if there is no shocking secret on their bodies, they will not believe it if they kill Bruce.

It's just that now is not the time to ask them about these secrets.

Bruce clapped his hands and made the decision.

After the beginning of spring, I sent little Alice and He Xiaohua to study at the school in Los Angeles.

As for He Xiaohua's identity?

This is completely difficult for Bruce, who is now worth millions.

What's more, with Molly and his wife helping by her side, there is no need to worry at all.

Little Alice didn't have the heart to resist Bruce's decision.

In short, as long as other children don't take away her place in Bruce's heart, little Alice is willing to do anything.

The atmosphere at the table came alive again.

After the meal, Bruce asked Molly to arrange a place for the Ho siblings to live.

Wait until his estate is bought, and then make another arrangement.

Naturally, Molly would not refuse.

She had already arranged for someone to clean up a small vacant house in the manor for the He brothers and sisters to live in.

At night, little Alice kept pestering Bruce for a long time and was reluctant to go to sleep.

In desperation, Bruce had no choice but to stay with little Alice and tell her about Antu...... The classic fragment in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale - "The Little Girl Who Sold Cannonballs" made the little girl "giggle".

Anyway, the stories in "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" have not yet appeared in this era, and it doesn't matter if Bruce messes around.

Even he had an idea that he should take this opportunity to pirate Hans Christian Andersen's works directly, and then find someone to publish them and sell them for money.

Don't look at it as just a small storybook, in this era of extreme lack of entertainment, publishing children's storybooks is definitely a good business.
