Chapter 460: 167: Directly slapping the face, interviewing Miss Song, the top scorer in China’s national exam!_6
Having said that, Beatrice continued, “He Dad, you go cook first, I’ll take the girl to the room to rest.”
Their most important task now was to stabilize Rachel and not let her notice anything, and then wait for the Xue family to come and see her.
As long as the Xue family liked Rachel, they would have 500,000 dollars in cash.
Together with the previous 150,000 dollars Rachel gave, it would be 650,000 dollars.
Never thought that a daughter who had been abandoned could be worth so much money, Beatrice was very happy.
At the same time, she also felt very regretful.
If they had known that daughters were so valuable, they shouldn’t have abandoned the other daughters before.
Hearing this, Rachel put her backpack down, “Mom, I’m not tired. I’ll go to the kitchen and cook with you.”
Beatrice smiled and said, “You’re so considerate.”
When they went to the kitchen, Rachel started the fire, and Beatrice began to boil the noodles.
Rachel looked at her busy mother by the stove, her eyes full of laughter.
The scene before her was something she had never dared to dream of before.

But now, it happened for real.
“Mom, when are you and Dad’s birthdays?”
Rachel had been with her parents for so long but still didn’t know their birthdays.
Beatrice replied, “Mine is August 12th, and your dad’s is September 3rd.”
Rachel nodded, secretly remembering her mother’s birthday, thinking that on her parents’ birthday, she would definitely give them a surprise.
After dinner.
Rachel went back to her room to rest.
The room was well-decorated.
Listening to the sound of insects outside the window, Rachel soon fell asleep.
Downstairs.
Beatrice instructed, “You keep an eye on her at home, I’ll go to the Xue family.”
If Rachel ran away at this time, their efforts would be in vain.
Gregory nodded, “Don’t worry, I locked the door on the second floor corridor tightly, she can’t escape.”
Beatrice was relieved, “Then I’ll be right back.”
“You go ahead.”
Soon, Beatrice arrived at the Xue family residence.
She came on an electric scooter.
The two houses were not far apart, and it only took ten minutes by scooter.
“Conn’s mom!”
Beatrice called out from downstairs.
“Coming, coming.” Conn’s mother put on a coat and opened the door.
Seeing that the visitor was Beatrice, Mrs. Xue continued, “Geraldine’s mom, it’s late, what’s up?”
Beatrice’s face was full of smiles, like a hawker who wanted to sell goods, “Conn’s mom, didn’t we agree last time that when we brought Geraldine back, Conn would come to see her?”
Before the sentence was finished, Mrs. Xue asked, “Did your Geraldine come back with you? So soon?”
Beatrice laughed, “Look at what you’re saying, she’s my daughter after all, who else would she come back with? If Conn wants to see her, just find a time to come over and take a look.”
Mrs. Xue nodded, “Alright, but Conn is not home during this period, maybe in a few days.”
Hearing that, Beatrice was curious, “Where did Conn go? When will he be back?”
“He went to his sister’s place with his dad. He should be back in about half a month.” Mrs. Xue paused for a moment, “But Conn has high standards! If your daughter is not good-looking enough, don’t blame Conn for not liking her.”
Although Conn was disabled by polio, the Xue family was not short of money. If it weren’t for Conn’s poor physical condition, he would have married a young and beautiful wife long ago.
“Don’t worry, I’m not an unreasonable person! But let me make it clear in advance, if Conn likes our Geraldine, it’s 50,000 dollars and not a penny less!”
Although Rachel’s appearance was not as good as Viola’s, her presence in their village was still quite prominent.
Therefore, Beatrice was full of confidence!
“Okay.” Mrs. Xue glanced at Beatrice, “As long as she can catch Conn’s eye, I’ll scrape together the 50,000 dollars, even if I have to sell all the pots and pans!”
Beatrice nodded, “Alright, with your promise, I can rest assured. I’ll go back first then.”
After saying that, Beatrice turned and walked home.
Returning home, Gregory immediately asked, “How did it go?”
Beatrice nodded, “Don’t worry, everything is set. But Conn won’t be back for half a month, so we have to stabilize her during this time.”
As she finished speaking, Beatrice looked upstairs, “She’s not awake yet, is she?”
“No.” Gregory took a drag on his cigarette and continued, “Half a month, huh?”
Speaking of this, Beatrice was also a bit annoyed. She originally wanted to get the money for the bride price as soon as possible and then marry Rachel off. She didn’t expect there to be a problem with Conn’s side.
