MTL - Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner-v2 Chapter 153 Misidentified again
"Tony, I want to ask you something, but let me know in advance that you are not allowed to be angry!" Levin came over and said to Tangning with a serious expression.
"What's the matter? So serious?" Tangning asked casually.
I saw Levin hesitate for a moment, then asked, "Um, Tony, is your Mr. Hugo's self-portrait for sale?"
Hearing this question, Tangning immediately understood why Levine asked herself just now, so she asked angrily, "What do you think?"
Levin replied a little embarrassedly: "I guess it's definitely not for sale!"
"Then you still ask?" Tangning glared at him.
Levin smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do this either. Someone asked me to come over and ask, do I have to ask it symbolically!"
"Who is it?" Tangning asked curiously.
Levin shook his head and refused: "I was told, if you refuse to sell or get angry because of this, then don't tell you who he is, so as not to be embarrassed to meet in the future!"
"Oh, he also knew that I would be angry because of this incident?" Tangning said displeased.
"He really didn't know beforehand, I told him, but even so, he didn't give up, so let me try it out!" Levine explained, and then added: "But he really likes Hugo. Sir, so I really want to buy this self-portrait!"
"Who is this person?" Tangning asked with a frown.
"Didn't I tell you all just now, I can't tell you!" Levin refused again, and then changed the subject: "By the way, this weekend, our "New Orleans Express" will hold a reception, and then we must come!"
"This weekend, I might not be able to catch up, because I'm going to New York!" Tangning politely declined.
"Oh, you're going to New York, that's such a pity, this time I specially invited the Hagers over!" Levin said regretfully.
"The Hagers? Jim - Hager and Angela - Hager?" Tangning asked tentatively.
Levin nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course! Is there a second Hager couple in New Orleans that deserves me to bring it up individually?"
The "Hage couple" that Levine referred to was a young couple who moved from France to New Orleans during Downing's return trip. The two were not only rich but also handsome, especially Hage's Mrs. Angela, who was called "The most beautiful woman in New Orleans", it was just that Tangning was gone at a wrong time, so she never had the chance to meet her.
Although Tangning didn't have any coveted intentions for the newly-appointed "No. 1 Beauty in New Orleans", she was still curious, so she hesitated and said, "Levine, your New Orleans Express is hosting a reception for the first time. We are such good friends, it would be too inappropriate for me not to go, anyway, I am not in a hurry to go to New York for a day or two, then I will go again in a few days!"
Unexpectedly, Levin didn't appreciate it: "Tony, it's not like I won't hold a cocktail party in the future, don't delay the business because of this, you should go, and I'll invite you to the next cocktail party!"
"Levine, you!" Tangning pointed at Levine and said speechlessly.
And Levine laughed and said: "Okay, I won't tease you, I'll wait for you on Saturday night!"
On Saturday night, Tangning brought Heidi to the reception on time, and Levine helped introduce, "Let me introduce, this is Mr. Hager and Mrs. Hager!"
When Tangning saw that Mrs. Hager was indeed worthy of being the "No. 1 Beauty in New Orleans" of the new generation, she was outstanding both in appearance, figure and temperament. Just when Levin was about to introduce Tangning and Heidi to the Hagers, Angela. --Hag suddenly looked at Tangning and exclaimed, "Ed, why are you here?"
Tangning was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses and said with a wry smile, "Madam, you are mistaken, I'm not Lieutenant Pi Shang!"
Levine also said, "Mrs. Hager, this is Mr. Tangning that I mentioned to you before. He wrote the book Gone With the Wind that you like very much."
After being reminded by the two of them, Angela finally reacted and apologized embarrassingly, "Sorry, Mr. Tangning, I did admit the wrong person just now, but you really..."
Speaking of this, Angela realized a question: "Mr. Tangning, do you know Ed? Otherwise, how would you know that his surname is Pishan, and he is also a soldier?"
Tangning smiled bitterly and replied, "To be honest, I really wanted to get to know Lieutenant Pichan, but I never had the chance. As for why I knew Lieutenant Pichan's name and occupation, it was because I was in London before. Misidentified once."
Hearing Tangning say this, Levin on the side reacted, "Tony, are you talking about the time Mr. Hugo's daughter admitted you wrong?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, it was that time!"
"It looks like Tony, you are really similar to that lieutenant Pichan!" Levin said with emotion.
"It's not a normal resemblance, it's almost exactly the same!" Angela added.
After chatting for a while, Levin took the two to introduce other friends, while Heidi whispered to Tangning, "Tony, I guess this Mrs. Hager also had a relationship with Lieutenant Pichan, do you believe it? Do not believe?"
Tangning recalled the expression on Angela's face when she misidentified her, and nodded in agreement, "It's very possible, otherwise she wouldn't be so excited just now!"
Heidi added: "And just now you noticed that there was no Mr. Hager's expression? It's very exciting, I guess you might quarrel when you go home after the reception is over!"
Tangning was about to make fun of Heidi's gossip when someone happened to come over to say hello, so she turned away.
What Tangning didn't expect was that the next day, when he was sorting out his belongings for a few days to New York, the housekeeper Rob came over to report, "Master, Mrs. Hager is waiting for you in the reception room!"
"Mrs. Hager? Did she come by herself?" Tangning frowned and asked~www.novelbuddy.com~ Rob replied, "Uh, he came by himself, with only one maid and the driver outside. wait!"
"I'm asking if Mr. Hager is coming?" Tangning asked impatiently.
Rob immediately shook his head and replied, "No!"
"Then why did she come to find me?" Tangning said to herself.
After a few words of greeting, Angela said, "Mr. Downing, after I went back yesterday and read your "Self-Portrait" published in Levine's New Orleans Express, I understood what Levine said yesterday about Mr. Hugo. What does your daughter mean, it turns out that she loves Eddie so much!"
PS: I found a very interesting new book "The Rich Woman Can't Get Out of the Rent". The idea is very good, and the cover is very angry, but the plot arrangement is not very good, and the protagonist's taste is a bit heavy...
