Chapter 85: The Cutest Girl in the World

Sheldon felt a little guilty.

Actually, what Song Mo said was entirely reasonable.

Song Mo had come to France this time specifically to bring him money.

According to Sheldon's own idea,

he wanted Song Mo's formula, then everything from production to sales would be handled by Sheldon himself, while Song Mo would only need to split the profits.

Song Mo seventy percent, Sheldon thirty percent.

According to Song Mo's idea,

production would be entirely handled by Song Mo; he would give the finished products to Sheldon, and Sheldon would be responsible for sales in overseas markets.

As for the split, it all depended on Sheldon's own ability.

Song Mo would sell to Sheldon at a fixed price.

Whether he flipped it for ten times or a hundred times, that was none of Song Mo's concern.

That was Sheldon's business.

But the split on the profits earned from flipping it would be fifty-fifty.

Of course, legality and channels and such naturally required Sheldon to worry about.

But given his family's connections, it probably wasn't much of a difficult matter.

"So stingy. I was actually planning to introduce Adelin to you…"

"What did you say?"

Song Mo looked at Sheldon, both annoyed and amused.

Even though the other had only been muttering softly,

Song Mo had still heard him clearly.

Sheldon gave a start. "I didn't say anything!"

He absolutely couldn't let Song Mo hear that.

If Song Mo heard and told Adelin—that sister of his who looked like an angel but was actually a devil toward her brother—there was no telling how she'd torment him.

She'd surely say furiously:

"Sheldon, mind your own business!"

"Introduce me? Who I like is none of your concern!"

But then again, maybe not.

Perhaps Adelin would even be quite happy that he was trying to set her up with Song Mo.

Business is business.

Sheldon still wanted to push for a bit more.

But one sentence from Song Mo immediately drained him of his courage.

"Sheldon, was that Dragon-Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill I sent you last time useful?"

"I think, for a man, regaining his vigor isn't something a mere bit of pride can buy, right?"

"If you won't work with me, I'll find someone else. From now on you'll probably have to go buy medicine elsewhere, and there's no telling if you'll even be able to get it."

Sheldon gave an awkward chuckle.

"Well, Song Mo, you know how merchants are."

"Right now I feel your proposal is really quite good—thinking of me, considering every aspect. I think we should just do it your way."

Song Mo smiled faintly.

"That's more like it."

……

After finishing the serious business discussion,

they didn't rush to sign a contract.

For Sheldon and Song Mo, once these matters were settled, there was no need to rush into doing them right away—give the orders, and the people below would prepare everything.

So Song Mo planned to spend these few days seeing all of Paris.

Sheldon invited Song Mo to his yacht party.

Honestly, there would be many big celebrities and supermodels on board.

There might even be some people Song Mo knew by name.

But Song Mo couldn't muster any interest.

Supermodels were fine, I suppose.

So-called celebrities were nothing more than a glamorous coat thrown over them.

They might not even match the looks and service of a few-thousand-yuan takeout order in Hangzhou.

Of course, the main thing was that Song Mo kept himself clean and proper.

Shoes others had worn—he generally didn't much like wearing them.

Shoes he himself had worn—he also didn't much like others wearing them after.

He considered this a bit of a psychological cleanliness obsession.

Treating it would be too much trouble.

So Song Mo simply stopped wearing shoes.

It was Adelin who said she wanted to take Song Mo to experience the charm of Paris, and Song Mo gladly agreed.

This drew a wail of lament from Sheldon.

"A daughter of the Allen Family, dear Adelin—are you really going to fall for a man at last?"

"Shut up! Sheldon!"

Adelin led Song Mo out the door.

One could tell she was a little nervous, seeming to care a great deal about Song Mo's opinion.

Song Mo had no idea why she was nervous.

Fortunately, Adelin soon revealed what was on her mind.

Adelin explained, somewhat stammering:

"S-Song Mo, my brother just has that kind of personality, a flirtatious playboy. I hope you don't take it to heart."

Song Mo burst out laughing.

"What's there to take to heart?"

"I'm not some kind of moralist, or old fogey. I can understand."

"Besides, this is France."

"I've heard French men often compete with each other in chasing beauty, and it seems a flirtatious person is said to be more charming to the opposite sex? That's called being romantic… haha…"

Adelin's expression visibly turned ugly.

Her mouth seemed to still be angrily muttering something.

Thanks to Song Mo's enhanced hearing.

He clearly heard what Adelin was saying.

Adelin said:

"Those damned scumbags."

"What romance? It's all just excuses they make for their own recklessness."

Song Mo couldn't help but laugh.

Actually, looking at France now, the rate of infidelity really is relatively high.

Whether men or women, even after marriage, they still seem to consider themselves free when it comes to sex.

As a Huaguo person, he naturally felt he couldn't accept it.

But this wasn't something he should be troubled over.

【Didn't expect Adelin to be quite conservative?】

【Right, Sheldon told me before that although many noble young masters had pursued Adelin, they were all rejected by her】

【Sheldon said Adelin apparently isn't interested in men?】

Song Mo's inner thoughts were beyond Adelin's knowledge.

She hesitated for a moment.

In the end, she lightly patted Song Mo's sleeve.

"Mm?"

Song Mo turned his head to look at her, a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.

"Song Mo, although my brother is a playboy, but… I'm not the same as him!"

Adelin's eyes fixed intently on Song Mo.

At this moment, the resentment in her heart toward Sheldon had grown to its peak.

If it weren't for this brother who messed around…

Would she have to worry so much about Song Mo misunderstanding her?

Now she still had to go to the trouble of explaining.

Adelin protested repeatedly.

"In our country, there really are many people who act without scruple, simply governed by hormones, thinking only with their lower half."

"My brother is among them too."

"But Song Mo, my views on love and marriage are actually very conservative."

"I also know many girls like me, who all keep themselves pure and chaste, who won't lightly throw away their innocence in their girlhood, nor have casual relationships."

Song Mo was completely baffled.

"Of course I know that."

"No matter where you are, people are always divided."

"Where there are good people there are bad people, where there are open people there are conservative people, it's just…"

"Adelin, why are you telling me this?"

Song Mo's counter-question made Adelin's face flush a gorgeous pink, looking like pink crystal, cute and charming.

She suddenly began to hem and haw, unable to get the words out.

"I-I was just worried you'd label all French people, and wanted to tell you that actually there are still many… like the girls I know, who are representatives of being conservative and self-respecting."

Song Mo suddenly laughed, a flash of mischief in his eyes—his earlier question had naturally been deliberate teasing of Adelin.

"Of course I know!"

"Adelin, your brother told me long ago! Even if he hadn't said it I would know! You can tell completely just by looking!"

"Although Adelin and Sheldon are siblings, they're actually two extremes, aren't they?"

"You're the purest, most innocent, kindest girl in the world!"

Song Mo's unstinting praise.

Made the pink Adelin completely ecstatic, her face blood-red, looking like a steamed prawn, seemingly with steam still rising from her face.

"Actually… I'm not as good as you say…"

Hearing this, why did it sound a little lacking in conviction?
