Gabriel has figured out even the culture of drinking tables.
“…”
Paige is silent.
“Ahem…”
Gabriel stands on the wooden chair and clears his throat, holding the wine glass in a very imposing manner, “Mommy said that it was because you came in time that we were saved, and that this city was saved. On behalf of my father and mother, I propose a toast to everyone, thank you!”
Everyone was amused by his serious manner and they all bowed to him, “Thank you, young master!”
“No, no, my name is Gabriel. You are all my elders, please look after me in the future!”
Gabriel put down his wine glass and used the bowing etiquette he had learned in the city, bowing to everyone in a proper manner.
Everyone burst out laughing, and David teased him, “You are the son of the country’s number one tycoon, do you still need us to look after you?”
“Of course,”
Gabriel blinked his beautiful eyes and said in a baby voice, “You have to work hard for my mommy and daddy, work overtime hard, so that when I grow up, I don’t have to work.”
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the car.
Everyone stared at Gabriel intently.
They were treating Gabriel like an innocent child here, and the child looked at them as if they were a bunch of oxen plowing the fields or donkeys pulling a mill…
Suddenly, they felt like crying.
They didn’t know why.
Jaden lifted his glass and gulped it down, and Eduardo patted him on the shoulder with glee, “Luckily, I’m a relative.”
“Even relatives have to work hard to earn money,”
Gabriel looked Eduardo square in the face, punched his little fist at him, and his eyes were full of encouragement, “If I ever eat up all of my parents’ food, I’ll go eat my relatives’!”
“…”
You’re only four years old, do you need to set your ambitions so early and so clearly!
Suddenly, everyone couldn’t eat anymore.
Nick was pulled to the front by Kelsey to watch the driver drive the tram. He suddenly heard silence in the back and turned around to see what was going on. He was a little confused and asked, “What are you guys talking about?”
“Nothing much, just the life of a working dog being talked about.”
Derrick also took a sip of his wine.
Carrie leaned against the car window to feel the breeze and said with a smile, “Gabriel really is amazing.”
I’ve never seen a child like this before, with ambitions that are different from ordinary children.
Paige also laughed, but she still knew her son well enough to whisper, “He did it on purpose.”
“Huh?” Cynthia and Carrie were taken aback and turned to look at her.
Paige turned around, leaned out of the car window, and looked at the old street along the road. She said, ‘After Enrico was hypnotized, we were always thinking about controlling him first, using guns and medicine. In Gabriel’s eyes, everyone became a bully who bullied Enrico.’
“Although I explained it to Gabriel, I guess he still wasn’t happy, so he deliberately teased everyone.”
Paige thought for a moment and said, “If you have to use a derogatory term, you should call him vengeful.”
“…”
Cynthia and Carrie were both shocked and slightly opened their mouths. So Gabriel was avenging his father?
This petty mind… is it something a four-year-old can have?
The two of them looked back at Gabriel and their eyes had changed. “In fact, Gabriel and my brother-in-law haven’t really had much contact, but he seems to really like him?”
Paige nodded with a smile.
It’s not quite accurate to say that he likes him. She feels that Gabriel really loves Enrico, even if he doesn’t say anything.
“That’s great,”
Cynthia said with some emotion, resting her face in her hands, “I also want to have a precious son to love me, but I don’t even have a boyfriend. Carrie, you and the president have to work hard.”
“…”
Carrie felt a little hot on her face when she was told, and turned her eyes to Rafael at the back of the car.
Rafael was sitting there, spinning a wine glass in his hands, and talking to Enrico from time to time.
Without those glasses, Rafael was just an ordinary person here, without an aura around him, without a bunch of things waiting for him to do, and he didn’t even have a big family…
This time, she didn’t want to hesitate anymore.
If he dared to try it with her, she wasn’t afraid of anything either.
Cynthia followed and looked over, seeing that Rafael’s movements were not very smooth. Thinking of something, she immediately comforted, “Carrie, don’t worry, this damage to the central nervous system shouldn’t affect that area, you can have children.”
“…”
Carrie’s face completely heated up, she was not worried about this when she looked at Rafael.
But Cynthia was still sincere, “It really doesn’t affect, you don’t believe you can ask Sister Paige, right, Sister Paige?”
Paige broke the cookie Gabriel had just handed her in half, and half of it was stuck in Cynthia’s mouth through the window frame.
“Mmm?”
Cynthia was puzzled. Did she say something wrong?
The world went quiet, and Paige leaned against the car window and looked carefully outside. The tram moved forward on the tracks, making a sound, and Old Street retreated backwards, leaving behind neon old signboards…
Paige looked up, letting the night wind blow on her face, as the street scene and snow flashed past her eyes like an old film.
“A hundred years is just a blink in the long river of time. When the old streets were demolished one after the other and countless high-rises were built, it didn’t feel like anything,”
Carrie rested her head against the window frame and looked outside. “But suddenly, when I was immersed in this period, I felt a deep sense of emotion. At that time, the President’s Office was indifferent, and the chaebols were blinded by greed and scheming. In the end, it gave JT, a man with hatred in his heart, the opportunity to rise, but it ruined an era and countless lives.”
“Yes,”
Cynthia said, taking a bite of her pancake and looking outside. ‘Look at all those broken doors. People in those days were just surviving, not living.’
Paige didn’t join in the conversation, but just ate her pancake and listened quietly.
“Compared to a hundred years ago, people now are already living very well. But if we just compare the present, it’s hard to say how many years it will take for China to achieve complete fairness in education and resources,”
Carrie said with some emotion, and suddenly laughed, “But this also gives us the meaning of doing things, working for our ideals, and we will never get tired of it for the rest of our lives.”
One day, people in China will truly understand the meaning of the word “fair.”
“That’s a good point,” Paige said with a smile as she looked at her.
Cynthia couldn’t help but say as she listened, “If there had been a Paige a hundred years ago, I’m afraid the situation would have been different.”
Carrie looked at Paige with sparkling eyes.
Paige shook her head with a smile, “Don’t think so highly of me. Even if there was a Paige a hundred years ago, there would still need to be an Enrico, a Rafael, a Carrie, a Cynthia…”
Many, many more.
Without any of them by her side, things would never have worked out.
Cynthia and Carrie looked at her, their eyes inexplicably red.
“Just like Hazel a hundred years ago, she started a sorority to make people better in her era… but she had too little support.”
Too little.
