Eugenie with money [Grandet]

When Grassan heard Eugenie's worried question, he couldn't hide the smile on his mouth: "You don't have to worry about this at all. At that time, Mr. Grandet asked all creditors to submit their creditor's rights documents and collected The receipt of the payment is kept with the notary."

"I have to say," Grassan said with a serious face, "It took me three months to get those creditors to agree to this approach."

"Yes, Mr. de Grassin, you have always devoted yourself to your father's affairs." Eugenie looked at this person who had been in collusion with Grandet, and she felt a little kind, and she couldn't help but praised with a smile.

This sentence of praise made Grassin feel like he had heard of heaven: "Miss Eugenie, this is what I should do for Mr. Grandet." He moved closer and whispered to Eugenie: "If you want , in fact, the notary can go to live in the provinces, and never appear in Paris again."

Well, this congressman who has been baptized by the revolution has been completely assimilated by Grandet. For his own benefit, he can even think of a way to make people never appear in Paris.

But what did the interests of Charles Grandet have to do with those of Eugenie?If she didn't want those creditors to add trouble to Charles, how could Eugenie think of a debt dispute that had nothing to do with her.

She followed Grassand and laughed: "My cousin, Charles Grandet, has returned to Paris. Just now, Elemie came to tell me that he was thinking of visiting me."

"What?" Grassin was still very impressed with the cousin who looked down on the small provincial place of Saumur. He was once a strong competitor of his son Adolf.

This recognition made Nucingen uncertain for a moment, thinking that Eugenie didn't want to make her cousin worry about the debt as soon as he returned to Paris, and wanted to pay off the debt directly for him, so he asked: "So what do you mean now?" Repay the debt directly for him?

Seeing the change in Grassan's face, Eugenie knew that he was thinking too much.I still have so many official duties to deal with, Eugenie doesn't have time to play guessing games with Grassan, and directly expresses her thoughts:

"Mr. Grassan, you know, the men in the Grandet family are all people with strong self-esteem and sense of responsibility. They are unwilling to accept favors from others easily. And my father obviously understands the thoughts of the men in the Grandet family. I have already told those creditors that my uncle's debt will be repaid by my cousin, Charles Grandet. I believe that my cousin, Charles Grandet, will not disappoint my father's expectations."

Grassand felt that the Grandet he knew might be a fake member of the Grandet family. He desperately recalled what incident Grandet had made Eugenie have such an illusion over the past few decades. Then he went on:

"Now there is only my cousin left in the Grandet family. For the honor of the Grandet family and my father's promise to the creditors, I think it is time for him to fulfill his obligations."

The greater shock came before Grassin, and he had to make sure that what he heard and thought was what Miss Eugenie really wanted to express: "Miss, if I heard you right, you want those creditors to know that your dignified Brother returned to Paris, and asked him to pursue the debt owed by Mr. Guillaume Grandet. That’s right, right.”

Of course, if it was not the meaning, why did Eugenie call Grassand and spend so much time talking.When she nodded, Grassan's head was still a little dizzy: "In this case, I think we should first confirm that Mr. Charles Grandet has enough funds to repay his father's debts. Otherwise, those creditors will sue him. "

A person who has just returned to Paris is prosecuted, can he still gain a foothold in Paris in the future?

Eugenie only said one concluding sentence: "Everyone has their own responsibility, no matter what price they will pay for fulfilling this responsibility." The scumbag is also a human being, and he has to bear the wrath of the creditors in Paris.

This made Grassin shudder, and strengthened his confidence to follow Miss Eugenie's instructions even more.He assured Eugenie that he would definitely complete the task Eugenie gave him.

Eugenie is still very confident in Grassin's ability to handle affairs. After all, he once used one sentence to successfully silence Guillaume Grandet's creditors for several years, didn't he?

With confidence in Grassan, Eugenie left the central bank office on time.Not long after the car entered Rue Bertin, it stopped suddenly, and Eugenie had to ask the coachman, "What's the matter?"

In fact, there is no need to ask, she has already seen an old young man in gorgeous but outdated clothes, trying to stand up straight, so as to stop her carriage.This old young man is not yet 30 years old, but the skin on his face has traces of being scorched by the sun for a long time, making his complexion several years older than his actual age.

In addition to the traces of sunburn, on his face there are overly indulgent and cloudy eyes. No matter how hard he tries, these eyes do not have the clarity and affection that young people should have, although its owner does not think so.

It seems that the original owner's gaze is really not very good.Eugenie made a judgment in her heart, but she didn't give the young man the wrong look, but said to the driver with some impatience: "Don't you know that you should deal with this situation?"

The coachman has also been with Eugenie for more than five years, and has never been criticized by the lady like this, and he was extremely ashamed for a while: "Miss, I will take care of it right away."

Charles had listened to the conversation between Eugenie and the driver, and was looking at Eugenie with his neck tilted.What kind of woman he saw, even though she still had traces of mourning on her body, her face was calm and confident, her eyes were still as clear as seven years ago, but she had some firmness different from seven years ago.

Dominating her own life for a long time makes Eugenie different from other women who cling to her father or husband, and has a temperament that can control everything.Such a temperament made Charles shrink back for a moment, and then made him ecstatic:

"Eugenie, it's me, I'm Charles. I'm back, according to our agreement, I'm back in Paris." He called Eugenie excitedly, regardless that he was still on the street.

"Cousin Charles?" Eugenie said in a questioning tone, but she was much calmer than Charles: "Is it really you? I didn't recognize you all at once. You have returned to Paris. I remember you leaving Saussure." When I was at Momo, I once said that I would go back to Saumur to see us."

Charles was stopped by the question, the so-called agreement, the location did refer to the small provincial place of Saumur.

After years of speculative career, Charles quickly thought of the words: "Eugenie, I heard that you came to Paris, so I didn't go back to Saumur, but came directly to you."

All right, as long as you can fool yourself.Eugenie nodded indifferently: "Then where do you live now, if you come to me directly, where is your luggage?"

Yes, where is the luggage?At the time when he hastily decided to take refuge in Saumur, Charles brought nearly [-] catties of luggage. He couldn't leave France for seven years, but he didn't have any luggage at all.If that's the case, where did this gorgeous dress come from?

Charles felt that Eugenie's questions were getting sharper and sharper than the last one, and there was no room for him to answer them at all. After thinking about it, he decided to show Eugenie his strength - in his mind, Eugenie had already served as the head of the Central Bank. President, naturally he would prefer to see a financially capable lover.

So he smiled confidently: "Because I don't know where you live, so I stayed at the hotel in Champs Elysees first."

Eugenie smiled knowingly: "It's fine since I've already settled down."

This is the end?Charles couldn't keep up with Eugenie's rhythm at all. Hearing that she returned to Paris and was still staying in the hotel, shouldn't she kindly invite herself to live in the mansion?This is the residence of Rue Bertin, the best neighborhood in Paris.

Living in such a mansion, facing Eugenie day and night, is the only way to regain the old love, isn't it?Now Eugenie actually just said to stop, Charles really didn't know how to answer the words.

Eugenie asked very puzzled: "Do you have anything else to do?" If you don't get in the way, I don't want to hear it.

Charles really wanted to say that he had a lot to say to Eugenie, but the coachman was looking at him uncomfortably, and it seemed inappropriate to confide in his old feelings directly on the street with people coming and going, which made him Qiqing was so anxious: "Eugenie..."

When Eugenie heard him call her name, she just looked at him steadfastly and smiled after a while: "Cousin, although Paris has undergone a revolution and a new elected government has been established, the necessary etiquette is still maintained. Come down. Calling my cousin by her name is not a very polite behavior."

What?Charles was even more confused, now he can't even call her by her name: "But, we are not just cousins."

The smile on Eugenie's face quickly cooled down: "Cousin, I think you must have misunderstood something. As a cousin who hasn't heard a word from you for seven years, I don't want this to happen. The misunderstanding continues."

So, put away all your unrealistic ideas.If that's the case, it's your own luck, and I can let you go.

Unexpectedly, Charles grasped the words: "It's not what you think, Eugenie. Because I haven't achieved anything all the time, in order to prevent you and uncle from worrying, I dare not tell you my recent situation."

Can such a reason be made up?Eugenie has really learned a lot, and she looked at Charles with a cold gaze like a knife drawn out of its sheath: "Really, but you have already lived in the hotel in the Champs Elysees, haven't you?"

People who can live in the Champs Elysees Hotel dare to say that they have no achievements, you are too modest.Eugenie didn't mind reminding Charles: "Uncle's creditors are very willing to see your current achievements."
