Chapter 1679: Introducing a Partner
"Do you know who you are talking to?" Lady Taisi scolded coldly.
The atmosphere of the banquet grew much colder.
This Lady Taisi's husband still had a bit of a background; her husband was the Chief of Police of Fojilisi, and as for the Chief of Police's wife.
She still had a little bit of face.
Everyone remained silent, but their expressions had all turned much uglier.
No one should have been mediating here; those who came were all close friends or relatives of the Qiaozhi family, but no one was willing to offend this Lady Taisi for the sake of the Qiaozhi family.
Although her husband was only a Chief of Police who was not particularly famous or powerful.
The banquet, which had originally been quite lively, suddenly quieted down, and Gelin saw that the situation was not right.
Ever since Qiaozhi went to his sister-in-law's table, the atmosphere had turned cold, especially upon seeing a lady stand up, looking extremely angry.
Seeing this scene, Gelin frowned and hurriedly went over to mediate.
After Gelin walked over holding a red wine glass, he smiled and said, "Good evening, respected ladies, and hello, sister-in-law."
Gelin greeted everyone present.
Danni watched Gelin walk over and squeezed a sincere smile onto her livid face; she was still very familiar with this young man.
He was a friend who often came to look for Qiaozhi.
It was said that he was also a war hero who had retired from the battlefield with Qiaozhi, and his sense of humor had left a deep impression on sister-in-law Danni.
"Hello, Gelin."
Gelin laughed, then looked at the lady who still looked angry and said, "Who is this?"
No one introduced her, only Danni said, "She is Lady Taisi."
According to British tradition, when introducing guests, there would always be a long prefix used to show your respect for them, but in Danni's mouth, there was only this simple sentence.
Seeing the changes in the two people's expressions and the very serious atmosphere at the scene now.
Gelin keenly realized that something was wrong.
But he still mediated, saying, "This Lady Taisi, our honorable guest, everyone is a friend, so please do me a favor and sit down."
Lady Taisi glanced at Gelin and said with a cold laugh, "What kind of thing are you? How dare you point fingers at me?"
Gelin was slightly stunned; could this person not see what the current situation was like?
He sighed helplessly and said, "Qiaozhi, I need to find a place to sit."
Qiaozhi nodded.
At the same time, he said to Gelin, "Alright, I will find a seat for you right now."
There were no empty seats left at the table.
Gelin could only stand.
Qiaozhi clapped his hands, and two black security guards immediately walked over.
Looking at the black men approaching, Taisi looked disdainful: "What, you still dare to expel me?"
"My husband is the Chief of Police!"
"Qiaozhi, you are just a British Soldier who was driven back; what kind of war hero are you acting as here?"
"I know your combat record clearly!"
"Let me tell you, I insulted Masha out of consideration for Danni; you aren't qualified to cause a scene with me here!"
When the others heard Lady Taisi's words, which tore off all pretense, their expressions were very ugly.
Danni's expression was also very ugly.
Although everyone knew why Qiaozhi returned and how he left the army.
But they all knew what the specifics were; what they admired was Qiaozhi's consciousness in fighting against the French on the battlefield.
If it were that battle, their troop strength was insufficient, otherwise they would not have ended up being captured.
If it were not for that, Qiaozhi would never have been forced to go deep behind enemy lines and been miserably captured after annihilating the enemy!
Qiaozhi waved his hand, and these black security guards immediately grabbed Lady Taisi's shoulders.
(Line 43 is a continuation of 42)
Lady Taisi saw they were black men and immediately shrieked: "You dirty black slaves, don't touch me!"
Lady Taisi stared at Qiaozhi in astonishment and anger: "How dare you treat me like this!"
Qiaozhi did not say a word and made a gesture, which was to have Lady Taisi carried away from Mount Vernon by the black slaves in a state of shame and rage.
To these British people, black slaves were merely their commodities.
They were not even considered human, and being touched and carried out by black slaves was a great insult to these British people.
Especially to a woman like Lady Taisi who lived in the upper echelons of British society.
But at this scene, no one stopped it at all, and no one even said a word of objection.
No one said a good word for Lady Taisi; although they disliked Masha, that was because of Masha's misfortune.
But Taisi mocked Qiaozhi and Gelin.
To them, this was an insult.
And they did not want to get involved in this matter.
Masha did not know Lady Taisi's background, but regarding Qiaozhi standing up for her, her heart was filled with gratitude.
Originally, Masha wanted to communicate with her sister-in-law about the change in her own perspective.
However, after experiencing the incident with Lady Taisi, everyone seemed to have lost confidence in the banquet.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and guests began to leave one after another.
Masha also had to leave early because her child was sleepy.
Qiaozhi saw her off.
Masha looked at Qiaozhi with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Qiaozhi, for making you face such an embarrassing situation today."
Qiaozhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I am already prepared to face any difficulties."
"After all, the one I have my eyes on is the most beautiful woman in Fojilisi."
Masha blushed and smiled; after she and Qiaozhi embraced gently, he sent Masha to the Horse Carriage and she left this place.
Qiaozhi watched Masha's Horse Carriage leave. After that, Gelin and Natasha walked out. He looked at his brother Qiaozhi's expression and teased: "Oh, progress is going smoothly, has it reached the point of increasing the population yet?"
Qiaozhi glanced at Gelin and said: "Have you and Natasha increased the population yet?"
Gelin said carelessly: "I'm planning to increase the population tonight."
Just as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. Gelin looked and saw it was Natasha's small hand pinching his waist hard.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make sure you have no descendants," Natasha said.
Gelin hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ouch, I was wrong, okay?"
"I'll listen to you tonight, whatever you want to do, we'll do."
Natasha let go with her small hand, gave a slight bow to Qiaozhi, and then walked away with a rhythmic *tap, tap, tap*.
Gelin was still clutching his waist in pain. He watched Natasha leave, thinking that he probably wouldn't be able to charge for love tonight, his face full of disappointment.
Natasha hadn't walked far when she turned her head, saw that Gelin hadn't left, and called out: "Gelin, aren't you coming?"
"Aren't we increasing the population tonight?"
Hearing this, Gelin glanced at Qiaozhi and dashed off in a flash.
"Brother, you better hurry up."
Watching Gelin's impatient appearance, Qiaozhi was speechless, but as soon as he left, he began to miss Masha.
