[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

Something big has happened in high society in New Orleans lately!

A high-profile musician in Vienna and a student of world-class musician Johann Strauss, Beauregard Wilkes will perform his solo recital at the Grand Central Auditorium in New Orleans.

Piano recitals have been equated with high art since its inception, and listening to a recital is also a status symbol, not to mention that Beauregard Wilkes is recognized as a top talented musician in Vienna, the music capital of the world, and is also recognized by other Musicians unprecedented in history are called "music heirs".

The most special thing is that although Beauregal Wilkes went to Vienna to study music at the age of 14, he is a real American. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia. , is nothing less than a blockbuster.

If Beauregal Wilkes can return, he is definitely a top musical talent who can lead the American music industry forward for at least 30 years.

The reason why Beauregard Wilkes agreed to give this concert is because his teacher Strauss once had a very pleasant meeting with one of the most famous New Orleans Summer Symphony Orchestra in New Orleans. He was successfully invited to give a concert here under the strong invitation of the head of the symphony orchestra.

Because this was Wilkes's first concert in the United States, the organizers also made great efforts to publicize it, not only from the upper class, but also from a large group of American media.

They have paid attention to this cutting-edge talented musician for a long time, and they have learned that this concert will be held in New Orleans. They have been building momentum and promoting Wilkes every day since half a month ago, hoping to build him up as quickly as possible. Become a leader and rising star in the American music industry.The main reason is that the United States did not have such outstanding musical talents before, which made Wilkes stand out.

Of course, this is not just for publicity, but Wilkes himself does have such talent and beauty.

The few people who were lucky enough to hear the live performance in Vienna said that it was absolutely worth the price of admission, even if they don't know music, they will be overwhelmed by his talent.

Later rumors became even more exaggerated. It was said that even the daughter of Earl Schumacher, the most powerful person in Vienna, was fascinated by him and pursued him crazily. The Duke of Holstein also went to Vienna to listen to his concert. It was later that Wilkes came forward to clarify, but his outstanding piano skills have conquered the hearts of most Americans. Everyone knows that he has real materials. Who cares whether his lace news is true or not? As long as they know that Wilkes' music can conquer the European aristocrats, the style will be raised hundreds of levels in an instant.

Just as Little Bo and Christine were nervously preparing for the concert, Little Kevin was making logistical preparations for them one after another.

Bonnie and several sisters have quietly come to New Orleans, and they all live in Rhett's property in New Orleans.

In fact, Rhett has more than one property in New Orleans. When the Butler Company was in the economic crisis a few years ago, Rhett and Bonnie took advantage of the economic crisis and the cheap housing prices to build several properties in the CBD of every major city. In [-], real estate in the United States began to boom, and housing prices have at least tripled, and some economically developed cities have even soared tenfold.Not to mention a city like New Orleans, which has long been immersed in luxury and luxury, the housing prices in Atlanta's most prosperous business district have soared at least five times, and more real estate speculators are optimistic about Atlanta's properties for investment.

Judging from the current economic scale of the United States, real estate has just emerged, and the bubble crisis will not erupt in a short period of time. When the economic crisis passes and skyscrapers rise from the ground, people will really start to follow when.

Because the train got off in the evening, the sisters of American Blue Alliance were going to rest for the night, and they went to visit Sophia's sister Daisy the next day.

When they came to New Orleans, they could hear the news for the first time.

The situation is getting worse and worse. In addition to the money owed by Daisy's wife's company to the bank, there is also the usury owed by his father-in-law. Actions, but if the watchers are not wrong, they are all here to step on the spot.

These loan sharks are all hooligans, they only have money in their eyes, and they don't care about young children and widows or pity for women, but the people in the bank are not much better, and they will be open and aboveboard if they don't see their methods.

Before Bonnie came, she also brought two teams of bodyguards—they were here to help persuade Daisy, and outside Daisy’s house were some people of unknown background and identities. in danger.

"You told Daisy that a few sisters from the American Blue Alliance came to New Orleans to attend Xiaobo's piano concert, and now she wants to come and visit her, she shouldn't doubt it." Bonnie decided to use this as an excuse to go to Visit Daisy.

"I'm more worried that she will use other reasons to refuse." Sophia said annoyedly, "You also know her current situation, it is not suitable to meet outsiders at all, even if I ask, it may not be successful."

Bonnie thought about it too: "Then how about this, I, Ella and Sophia will go together, and the others should not act rashly"

"Aren't we going to see her together?" asked Susan, a girl with a high nose and long, straight brown hair.

Linda, another girl with deep dark blue eyes, shook her head: "If we go to see her together, it will only arouse her suspicion, even if Sophia takes Bonnie and Ella to go, she will not It might be noticed."

"That's right," Bonnie said in embarrassment, "If she finds out and rejects us, the plan we prepared may be in vain, but... I don't trust Sophia to go alone."

Ella nodded: "I'm not worried. Sophia has been too emotional recently because of Daisy. What if you break down or can't help it when you see your sister today, what should you do?"

In fact, Sophia is really not suitable to come forward, they still have to take Daisy's emotions into consideration.

These days Daisy has been bored at home, never going out, and Bonnie has been getting news about Daisy from the few remaining servants in their family.

They are all tied up now—worried about Daisy's devotion to her husband, and worried about the safety of Daisy and the two babies.

No matter how difficult it is, they have to see Daisy anyway.

"Why don't I write a greeting card?" Bonnie said, "Don't go to Sophia, just say that the few of us came to New Orleans to see her and test her reaction. If Sophia is coming Daisy won’t believe anyone who listened to Xiao Bo’s concert.” Especially when this is a sensitive time, when Sophia came last time, Daisy had already expressed her dissatisfaction with her, and she was even more worried that this time she would If it caused Daisy's greater reaction, they would not only be of no help, but also helpless.

Sophia nodded: "Then do this first, and then take a look."

Bonnie's invitation was sent out first, and then they went to Daisy's former friends in New Orleans to inquire about the situation, but many people began to hear that they were members of the American Blue Alliance, and they were very polite, but when they heard about the situation If it has something to do with Daisy, I'm afraid to avoid it.

From all the circumstances, this matter has been urgent.

And at this moment, they received a letter. Daisy declined their help on the pretext of being unwell.

Bonnie thought about it, sent someone to deliver some supplements and gifts, and sent a small note to the other party, saying that she would visit her and the baby after a few days when she was better.

On the other hand, hesitantly worried that Daisy would suffer her husband's murder again. After discussing with several people, they decided to send someone to make Daisy's husband, who was drunk in the bar every day, completely drunk, even if he was not drunk, he would pass out Him, so that he can't go home and commit violence.

In the next few days, Daisy's husband was drunk in the bar and didn't come home for two or three days.Daisy also seemed to be in a hurry. After entrusting the baby to the housekeeper at home, she went out to find someone alone, and happened to meet Bonnie and Ella who came to visit her.

Daisy looked hurried in front of her, but the moment she saw Bonnie and Ella, she forcibly restrained herself and put on a dignified expression. She managed to pull herself together and squeezed out a smile, but in the past few months, the problems at home made Daisy Both mentally and physically have been tortured and devastated. She herself is now two times thinner than when she got married, and looks very haggard. This seemingly gentle smile is really infinitely embarrassing.

"Daisy, where are you going? Are you feeling better?" Bonnie asked naturally, "You are still in good health, you look much thinner."

"Hi, Ella, Bonnie," Daisy gave the two of them a hug, and quickly separated as if they had been scalded.

She was wearing a black velvet dress that was too big for her like a rag sack.

Ella noticed the two or three cigarette burns on her sleeve and frowned.

Daisy seemed to remember something, and pulled her sleeves uneasily, "Ella, Bonnie, are you here to see me?" Without waiting for the two of them to answer, she hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, I'm a little nervous right now. It's urgent, it may make you a waste of time. Why don't we make an appointment next time?"

Ella glanced at Bonnie secretly, she was a little worried that Daisy would just run away.

Bonnie immediately put on a nervous look: "You look very disturbed, did something happen, Ella and I happen to be fine, do you need us to help you?"

Looking at the two girls who looked worried, Daisy's nose became sour, but she absolutely must not let them know about this matter.

"Actually, it's nothing." Daisy waved her hand, "You're all wrong, I'm not disturbed, it's just—"

Before she finished speaking, Bonnie suddenly said: "Ah, speaking of which, I seemed to see your husband on the road just now, but because we were in a carriage, we didn't go up to say hello."

Daisy's expression froze at the moment, fear flashed across her face, and her dull eyes didn't know where to look, "Yes, yes? You... saw him?"

"He's sitting on the stairs, isn't he? Ella." Bonnie looked at Ella pretendingly. "But maybe I'm wrong."

Ella nodded in agreement, "Just sit on the stairs."

Daisy pursed her lips, looking a little worried, but also relieved.

Bonnie winked at Ella, and a smile flashed across Ella's eyes, but the expressions of the two quickly calmed down.

"I see," Bonnie's voice suddenly rose, "Daisy? Did you go looking for him? He seems to be on the John-only road ahead."

Daisy said at once, "It's Johnson Road."

"There it is!" Bonnie raised her voice.

The girl put her hands behind her back and made a gesture to the bodyguard who was leading in the dark.Then she asked Daisy again: "Then do you want to go together in our carriage? We know where he is, and it's still a little distance from here."

Daisy looked obviously embarrassed, but at this moment she was in a trance, and under the brainwashing of Bonnie's soft voice, she followed the two into the carriage in a daze.

Ella went up first, and Daisy was helped up together, and Bonnie was in the rear.

When Ella and Daisy went up, Bonnie deliberately lagged behind.She winked at the bodyguard Jack beside her, and after receiving an "ok" gesture from the other party, she slowly got into the car.

The bodyguards of their family have been well trained over the years, and they already know what she wants to do with a gesture without even ordering the other party.For example, she said loudly just now that Daisy's husband seemed to be on Johnson Street, but she actually asked them to throw the drunk man there directly - of course, it was because they had done this kind of thing several times before, so that they could not get rid of it. Such a good tacit understanding and effect.

If Bonnie remembers correctly, those who monitored Daisy's husband these days have been reporting that he got drunk in a bar called "Blue Moonlight" on Johnson Street, which is about 20 minutes' drive from Daisy's house.

Along the way, Daisy seldom spoke, only when Bonnie and Ella asked her something, she answered a few sternly.

Daisy's husband really fell down on the stairs, reeking of alcohol, and didn't seem to wake up at the moment.

Daisy rushed to her husband's side as soon as she got out of the car, Ella and Bonnie also followed, and said, "Mr. Brown looks drunk, get in the car, shall we go back?"

"No need." Daisy quickly refused.How would she face Ella and Bonnie when her husband woke up in the car and beat Ella and Bonnie when he was drunk?She realized that she seemed to have lost her composure, and immediately said apologetically, "What I mean is, I don't want to bother you anymore, just let me take him back by myself."

Aila rarely opened her mouth and said: "But... there is not even a carriage on this road, he is so much taller than you, maybe twice your weight, and your illness is not cured, how can you take him by yourself go back."

It seems that Ella is really anxious this time, and Bonnie is a little relieved: "Yes, it's better to get in our carriage, Daisy, don't be polite to us."

Daisy looked at her husband who was motionless. He smelled of alcohol and smelled bad. She was ashamed to take him into the carriage of the two ladies, Bonnie and Ella.

Seeing that she was silent, Bonnie said again, "Daisy, do you have something to hide."

Daisy turned pale, but shook her head immediately.

Bonnie's concern made Daisy feel sad for a while. She really couldn't say anything, and the other party also had good intentions. If she refused them to start a fight, the scene would be ugly.

But she must not let the two ladies see her husband's ugliness.

"Actually, Mr. Brown's appearance is really not suitable for our carriage." Ella frowned and looked at the drunk man who showed no signs of waking up.

Bonnie rolled her eyes and said immediately, "Why don't I bring bodyguards over here, they are stronger, and I'll let them take Mr. Brown back, can you go back in the carriage with us?"

In fact, Daisy was a bit reluctant by herself. After struggling for a while, she finally agreed.

"Don't worry." Bonnie pulled Daisy into the carriage, "Our bodyguards will definitely send Mr. Brown home safely."

Daisy bit her lip, and said as if making up her mind, "Then... trouble."

Both Bonnie and Ella were sweating. Although they had thought of a lot of plans before, they still had some difficulties in implementing them. Fortunately, things went relatively smoothly.

However, just when they returned to Daisy's house smoothly, another accident happened.

The three got out of the car and saw that the bodyguards of Butler's family hadn't brought her husband back yet. Daisy stood outside the door and prepared to wait for a while, because she was too worried that her husband would go crazy with alcohol. Although they were all strong and agile bodyguards, but She still doubted that Jeff would fight the bodyguards as he had treated her.But before she finished worrying, the bodyguards of Butler's house had already sent her to the door.

Daisy saw them from a distance, and immediately ran up, and was relieved when she found that her husband hadn't woken up yet.

And at this time, two people suddenly rushed out from a corner not far away. They were vicious, with scars on their faces, tattoos on their arms, and dressed like hooligans.

The two headed straight for Daisy and Jeff, but when they got closer, they found that the bodyguards of Butler's house were tall and menacing, and the two dared to stand far away, and began to yell: "Jeff!" Husband Brown, when will you pay back the thirty thousand dollars that your family owes our boss?!"

The two yelled for a long time, but they stopped when they found that the expressions of the others were dull.

Daisy looked at them puzzled: "What are you talking about, when did our family owe you money, and we still owe thirty thousand dollars?"

"Ask your husband, your family has already been heavily in debt, Mrs. Brown." The two yelled fiercely: "Old Brown borrowed 2 yuan from our boss at usury, with a total principal and interest of [-] yuan. The deadline is two days away, and if you still haven’t paid back, here’s a warning! You won’t want to know what we’ll do then!!!”

Seeing that Bonnie and Ella were both shocked and puzzled, Daisy was even more ashamed and indignant. She was too embarrassed to look at them again, always feeling that they would look down on her.

But the performance of the two surprised her very much. Even Ella, who didn't like to speak very much and had a cold and arrogant appearance, stood in front of her and Jeff to defend them. Because there were bodyguards on the side, the two didn't seem worried. , After the two sides had a round of verbal confrontation, the other party seemed to be worried about the bodyguard on the side, and finally left in despair, and said that he would come back tomorrow.

After finally driving the people away, Bonnie and Ella dragged Daisy into the house together.

Bonnie gave Daisy a hug, and said affectionately: "God, what's going on, those people look like hooligans, Daisy, is there something wrong with your family?"

There was a wry smile on Daisy's face, "You guys found out, our family's financial situation is indeed not very good, but don't worry, Dad and Jeff will definitely find a way to solve it, I think it's only temporary. "

"What are you talking about, of course we are worried about you," Bonnie grabbed Daisy's wrist, only to find that her hand twisted, as if she was getting an electric shock, but she endured it again.

Bonnie actually felt very uncomfortable. She probably pressed on the other party's pain, but the other party immediately endured it, and she didn't dare to show it too obviously.

If Daisy knew that they already knew everything about her, Daisy probably wouldn't ask them to help.

It's really aggrieved to think about it. It would be great if Daisy could figure it out by herself.

Daisy slowly covered Bonnie's hand, and patted the back of her hand again, making Bonnie's hand relax a bit.

Daisy said softly: "Thank you and Ella for coming to see me today. I don't know how to bring Jeff back without you. I didn't expect you to see such a thing today. I'm so sorry." .”

Bonnie hurriedly said: "Needless to apologize, by the way, is there anything else we can do to help you? If you have any, please speak up. We and a few sisters from the American Blue Alliance will find a way."

Naturally, Daisy would not ask the two girls to help with a problem that she could not solve by herself, and she was not ignorant of their family's situation, it was just because it was so complicated that she didn't even know where to start.

Today, a debt collector came to her door, and she happened to be seen by two girls. She was already ashamed.Fortunately, Jeff has not woken up, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Make sure they leave before Jeff wakes up.

Daisy looked at the worried expressions of the two girls, and decided to retreat: "Okay, if I need your help, I will definitely tell you, but it is really inconvenient for me to greet you today, and the baby is still there." I'm sleeping, I'll take the baby to find you in a few days."

Bonnie and Ella glanced at each other, seeing that today's events had almost achieved the results they wanted, so they had to say goodbye to Daisy first.

Wait until you go back and tell Sophia what happened today, and then see how to solve this problem.
