my son billions

After returning home, Josephine changed into home clothes, and then learned from the mechanical housekeeper that her big sister, who was often too busy to disappear, was waiting for her in her room.

When Josephine came to Osherie Clark's room, she saw that she was wearing a rather formal work skirt even at home, and she was handling official business on the optical brain.

Seeing the little sister enter the door, Ausherie raised her head and smiled and said, "I got the invitation letter for you, how can you thank me?"

Seeing this, Josephine walked up happily, threw herself into her sister's arms, and rubbed her little face in her arms, and said, "Then I will thank you with myself, let's have dinner together tonight." OK?"

Ausherie smiled and touched her little head, but shook her head and said, "I'm going out later, I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with you. So you can take this opportunity to tell me about that young man ?"

Josephine got up from Ausherie's arms somewhat disappointed, but she also knew that the other party was always busy with work, so she didn't get too entangled in this matter.Seeing that the other party asked about Xu Chu, Josephine just shook her head and said, "It's a friend I just met, and I don't know him very well."

Ausherie nodded when she heard the words, "This time my father participated in the discussion meeting in his own name, so I can get the invitation letter closer to him. But you'd better pray that your Mr. Xu won't say anything to mess with you." If father is angry, come, otherwise I really can't help you."

Josephine couldn't help but blushed when she heard this, but she still explained: "I just want to return a favor, nothing else."

"This is the best." Ausherie smiled, but then said, "Then in a few days, you will attend the party at the Ravaduri Palace with me."

But upon hearing this sentence, the smile on Josephine's face disappeared.

"Sister, I really don't want to go. My father said that I can freely choose someone I like. There is no need to attend such a banquet."

Osherie touched Josephine's head, and said earnestly: "Josephine, I don't want to force you to do anything. But one's own happiness must be fought for by oneself. Of course you can choose other things." Those boys whose social status is not as good as yours, if you can truly love each other, I will also bless you. But before that, I hope you can choose your future husband among those boys who are as good as you. No matter Whether men and women are equal, this means that most of the power in society is still in the hands of those men, and your status in the future will also depend on the husband you marry later."

"I don't hope that after you get married, you will never be seen again in those banquets."

"But sister," Josephine said with a look of pain on her face, "They won't choose me. Everyone knows that my genes are defective, and I can't accept genetic enhancement. No one will choose a defective person, As the mother of the future heir."

Osherie held Josephine's hand, her face full of distress.But then she touched the other person's face lightly, and said comfortingly: "We can think of a way to deal with the gene, but don't Walker and the boys from the Bovary family play well with you? As for Their parents, this time we have reached an agreement with several families - you don't need to worry about these issues."

Josephine still shook her head and said: "But I don't want to——I don't want my future children to suffer such pain. If they can't be strengthened, they will never have physical and mental strength comparable to others, and they will never Will be inferior to the people around me. I'm not smart enough, not pretty enough, or even able to do the job I like. But I still have my family, you love me and spoil me, I have Joan and Beverly, they Be with me all the time. But if I give birth to a son in the future, then this society will be even more cruel and harsh to him."

"But this probability is not 100%, you may also give birth to a normal child."

"But it is also possible to give birth to an abnormal child like me." Josephine stared at her sister closely, but her eyes overflowed with tears.

Ausherie knew that she had said something wrong, but her eyes turned red immediately after her.

Over the years, she has never had any children of her own, and has always loved her youngest sister like a daughter.Seeing the other party in such pain, she felt no better than the other party.That's why she will try her best to pave the way for her future, just hope that the other party can have a future different from hers, can overcome all obstacles, and be with the one she loves.

But obviously such an arrangement was not what Josephine wanted at this time.

Josephine wiped her tears and went back to her room. Thinking of all the things that had happened to her over the years, the more she thought about it, the sadder she became.

On the other hand, Ausherie had to ask her best friend for help.

"I said something that made Josephine sad today," Aushery told the other party through the screen projection of the communicator, with a frustrated face, "I really don't think she is abnormal, but I really shouldn't use this word."

And the young man with beautiful blond hair on the screen, although he didn't smile on his face, can still make people feel his tenderness, "I think what she cares about is not the word you use, but just needs It's just an emotional outlet."

"I know, and I don't want to force her. But I really don't want to—" Ausherie said, looking up at the other person helplessly, "She deserves better. Except for that little problem, she She is kinder and cuter than everyone else. I have paved the way for her, and she can freely choose what she wants. Today, as long as she has the courage to take this step."

The young man on the screen sighed after hearing the words, "But this kind of courage to fight against fate is not available to everyone."

As he said that, the other party's emerald green eyes drooped slightly, and there was a melancholy expression in his eyes. At that moment, even Ausherie couldn't help but feel distressed by it.

"I'm sorry, I—" Ausherie was at a loss when she saw this.

Looking at the other person's expression, Ausherie certainly knew very well that this friend who had known her for more than 20 years thought of something in her heart at this moment.It was a medal worn on the other party's body, and it was also a wound that he carved with his own hands that could never be healed.

But then, conveniently, he quickly put away his emotions, and turned to his long-time friend with a rare smile, "Then what can I do for you?"

Seeing this, Ausherie sighed, but then said: "Josephine has always admired you, can you find a chance to help me persuade her?"

Afterwards, the young man on the screen smiled softly, "Of course, I am very happy—although I don't guarantee that I will be successful."

Ausherie laughed, but felt relieved in her heart.

Because she knew that no one could really reject Raphael.

This young man with a gentle face is the Rafael Divas who once changed the fate of all mankind.In front of him, neither the former Salimon's most tyrannical emperor Tours Chrisman, nor the current First Marshal of the Liberty League, Chapman Hugh Reston, had no way to say no to him.

And even in today's treacherous political arena, everyone still maintains a tacit understanding, and no one will really shake the position of this Your Excellency.

He is like a symbol of human freedom, being arched high on the altar.And he himself behaved like a god, having no desires or desires for many things.Only a few people know that this man has always trapped himself in the prison he built, and he will never be able to break free.

"Then Ausherie, can you promise me a request after this?" Raphael raised his emerald green eyes and looked at Ausherie.

But at this time, from the eyes of the other party who seemed to be able to speak, Ausherie read the thoughts in the other party's heart.

The two friends who had known each other for more than 20 years looked at each other, but Ausherie couldn't help but cover her face and sat back on the sofa dejectedly.

She knew what the other party wanted her to do, but could everything really go back?

Osherie Clarke, who once almost took the name Reston.

More than 20 years ago, she fell in love with Chapman and almost got married.But then, something that happened to her changed their fate from then on.

The only thing she can be thankful for is that she didn't conceive Salimon's heir like those so-called "luckiest people".When the Salimon Empire was in turmoil, she finally found a chance to escape and joined the Freedom Alliance Army with her family.

Also as a former "honey fruit", Ausherie admires and sympathizes with Raphael.Those powerful Salimons are not only terrifying in their strength, but also in their genes that incorporate countless biological advantages.As long as they are willing, the charm they exude can almost fascinate everyone.Aushery believed that this was a large part of the reason why Salimon was able to maintain a precarious but unshakable position in today's Liberty League.

So Raphael was able to make such a decision back then, and his strong willpower is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

But such a person, in the raging flames of war, has become like a plague.Salimon was aggressive, looking for people everywhere to hunt him down, making all the people and forces who wanted to help this hero hesitate.

In the environment at that time, the alliance between humans and other intelligent creatures was not secure.They may be a powerful force when gathered together, but when they are scattered, none of them can resist Salimon alone.And this is also the reason why they dare not really confront it blatantly.

Only Chapman—only he reached out to Raphael without hesitation.

And Ausherie took advantage of this opportunity to officially push Chapman in front of everyone.

Even though everyone is afraid of Salimon who is staring at Raphael behind him, what it represents is the deepest yearning for freedom in the depths of the human soul.He represents the free spirit of human beings, like a star shining brightly alone in the dark starry sky, so that all those who yearn for light can only look up.

Ausherie took off the star and pinned it on the chest of the man she loved so much.

Before that, she chose a marriage with her like-minded comrade-in-arms, completely cutting off the last possibility between her and Chapman.

After that, everything was indeed developing in the direction she expected.All the starlight brought by Raphael shone on Chapman, and after gathering all the gathered power, Chapman also gritted his teeth and resisted the hatred and attack from Salimon, and finally became a human being. The independent spiritual leader defeated Salimon and established the Liberty Alliance.

During these years, Ausherie has been standing behind the other party, silently supporting him.And she has also maintained a close friendship with Raphael.She respects and loves this human hero, but at the same time she has a lot of guilt towards him.

She also knew that because of the helpless choice at the beginning, the other party also felt guilty towards her.So when everything stabilized, Rafael finally asked Chapman for a divorce, wanting to return everything that should not belong to him, and to get rid of the shackles that had been imposed on him for more than ten years. break free.

Ausherie has mixed feelings about this.Over the years, it's not that she didn't know about the problems in their marriage, but neither of them seemed to intend to solve them.Their relationship is as distant and respectful as it was more than a decade ago, and even the birth of their only child has not changed the relationship between the two.

And now, Rafael finally took action, wanting to put everything back in place.

He came to her in the hope that she could face her own heart bravely and give each other another chance.

On the other hand, Xu Chu, who received the invitation letter, quickly made preparations the next day, and then participated in this discussion conference on the balance of resources and the environment, which was said to be the highest standard in the alliance.

The conference was held in a mountain villa far away from the downtown area in Capital Star.This originally quiet manor became bustling because of the participants.

All the floating vehicles and aircraft were arranged by the conference staff and stopped not far from the venue.Xu Chu originally thought that there would be many reporters and flashing lights, but he didn't expect that everything was quiet after getting off the car, except for the participants who entered the venue quietly, there was nothing else.

Xu Chu found that everything was different from what he had imagined, and when he thought of his previous arrangements, he felt a little anxious.

After entering the arena, Xu Chu swiped his communicator on a machine in the corridor, and sat on a floating seat that rose from under him, following the appearance of others.

The seat belt on the seat was automatically buckled on Xu Chu's waist, and then the seat flew smoothly towards the field.Xu Chu held the armrest nervously, trying not to turn his head to look around. He didn't politely nod to the two participants beside him until he found his seat.

The participants entered the venue one after another, and Xu Chu found that many of them did not look like humans.However, he was too embarrassed to stare at people, so he just turned his head and started looking for today's target.But then he discovered that Brook Clark, the deputy director of the Alliance's Planetary Resources Department, was very close, and he could see him when he turned his head.

It's just that the meeting is about to start, so it's not easy for Xu Chu to come forward and talk to him.

The early part of this conference discussed the contradiction between development and the environment, as well as some existing solutions.In the later period, many companies gradually went up and began to introduce some of their products or some projects, so as to attract investment or find customers.

Some of these things actually sound pretty good, like a fluid that makes the engine use energy more efficiently, or some scrap packing material that reinforces it, and so on.But these are not what he needs, but he doesn't know whether his ultimate goal of coming to this meeting can be achieved.

During the middle of the meeting, Xu Chu stood up, took a rest, and turned to look at his goal for today.

After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and said to the man who looked like he had just entered middle age: "Hello, Mr. Clark. I have read your paper on the relationship between environment and development—"

"Hey Clark!" Before Xu Chu finished speaking, a man slightly older than Mr. Clark and with two beards came over, "Who is this young man? He really has a strange appearance. He I noticed it when I first entered."

Brooke Clark pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and did not answer the other party's question, but asked, "Adams, what's the matter with you?"

He didn't like Adams' manner of speaking very much. Even if the other party was just a young man, he shouldn't comment on a person's appearance in such a tone.

"Oh, no, nothing." Adams said, but there was a strange smile on his face, "But Brook, to be honest, I really envy you. Although I have given birth to several sons, none of them are useful. , but one of your daughters can do so many things for you. I have already submitted my withdrawal application for the ministerial election this time, so I can only congratulate you in advance on your promotion to minister. "

Brooke frowned.

Both of them participated in the election for the Minister of Planetary Resources this time, and they are each other's strongest competitors for this position.But he didn't know why the other party said these words in a weird way at this time, and also mentioned his daughter.

"What do you mean?" Brooke asked angrily.

Adams, however, answered the question and continued: "Actually, it seems better to have a daughter. Unlike me, all the sons are born, and those who are not up to date cannot be stuffed back into the stomach. It is good to have a daughter, and raise them beautifully." Yes, I can always find someone to marry. And if I am not satisfied with the husband she finds, I can ask her to change another one until it satisfies me."

As Adams spoke, he leaned over to Brooke's ear and whispered, "Those son-in-laws will come in handy after all."

At this moment, Brook was already frowning, "Adams, you look so ugly."

Adams showed a sneer when he heard the words, "Brook, who is so ugly? You really raised a good daughter, even the bright stars are compared to her!"

Brooke's face was tense when he heard this, and even Xu Chu who was standing beside him could feel the rising anger of the other party at this moment.

But Adams on the side was still adding fuel to the flames. He turned his head and glanced at Xu Chu contemptuously, "But Brooke, if I were you, I would choose another one anyway. Like this—after squatting Under your daughter's skirt, you can just eat soft rice. You have to pick another useful one, maybe I can give you another hand in the future!"

After speaking, Adams showed a mocking look on his face, and regardless of the fact that the meeting was not over, he turned around and left from the field.

Then Xu Chu was stunned, and met the angry Brooke's eyes.
