The Amazing son in law Chapter 8000
But since things had come to this point, he couldn’t refuse even if he wanted to, so he could only bite the bullet and say, “Okay, Grandpa Steve.”
Steve smiled and said, “Then you should prepare to go over now.”
“Okay.” Robert hung up the phone, a wave of doubt washing over him. He didn’t dare delay and quickly called his father. After all, Steve was the second-in-command of the family, and no matter what the other party’s intentions were, Robert had to inform his family first.
His father was also very surprised when he received the call. Steve and Robert’s grandfather had already broken off relations during their struggle for succession, but Robert’s grandfather ultimately lost. So even though he dreamed of improving relations with Steve, Steve had never given them any chance. He never expected that this time Steve would take the initiative to invite his grandchildren to dinner. This was indeed a bit puzzling, but for the family, it was an unexpected joy. After all, from complete hostility at the beginning to Steve now showing friendliness to their children, this in itself was progress.
So Robert’s father instructed him to make a good impression on Steve, and if possible, to convey some goodwill messages from his grandfather, and ideally, to invite Steve to their home.
Robert felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and readily agreed without hesitation. He then walked out of the locker room and saw his girlfriend waiting for him outside.
She was standing there, not in the rest area, nor leaning against the wall playing on her phone; she stood there like a model, a constant smile on her face. Seeing Robert come out, she immediately rushed forward with delight, smiling and saying, “The changing time seems to be a bit faster today than before.”
Robert nodded and said to her, “Catherine, if you don’t have any other plans tonight, I’d like you to come with me to a dinner party.”
“A dinner party?” his girlfriend asked curiously. “Weren’t we supposed to have dinner together? Why is there another dinner party all of a sudden?”
Robert shrugged helplessly and said, “My grandfather’s older brother is here. He called and asked if I wanted to have dinner with him. He even asked if I had a girlfriend, and if so, to bring her along. You know, he’s the heir to our family, and I wouldn’t dare disobey him.”
His girlfriend’s pupils constricted sharply. Although she didn’t show anything on the surface, her heart was in turmoil.
She was considered an “aristocrat” among scholars, not because her mixed-race blood was particularly noble, but because her lineage was the only one in the many years of the Qing Dynasty-Breaking Society to truly possess half of a Western aristocratic bloodline traceable in Western history. Unlike other scholars, she truly possessed a ticket to the upper-class white social circle.
Don’t underestimate this half-Western aristocratic lineage. For non-white races, acquiring this bloodline is no easy feat. Despite the nominal openness of Western society, old money and aristocracy are very traditional. Many can tolerate consanguineous marriage but not interracial marriage. Her lineage, starting with her maternal grandmother, has been striving to integrate into Western aristocratic circles. Her grandmother successfully married a fallen nobleman who fled Europe to America. Her mother went a step further, marrying a well-known old money nobleman in America, though still far from the elite Rothschild family.
From a young age, she was expected to marry into one of the most prestigious Western families, undergoing intensive upbringing. When she was sixteen, her family, after careful evaluation, set Robert Rothschild as her target. That’s why she applied to Stanford University with a near-perfect resume, then began to present herself in the best possible light to Robert, successfully winning his heart.
On the day she and Robert confirmed their relationship, her family reported the news to the Left Army Governor’s Office. The Left Army Governor’s Office immediately relayed the good news to Wu Feiyan, who even personally rewarded her and her family, promising them maximum freedom should she successfully marry into the Rothschild family. The whole family was thrilled and full of anticipation.
However, she knew very well that whether she could marry into the Rothschild family depended on Robert’s parents and grandparents, not Robert himself. Therefore, she had always hoped that Robert would take her to meet his family. But she never expected that day to come so soon, and even more unexpectedly, the person she was to meet this time was not Robert’s parents, but the second most important person in the entire Rothschild family, Steve Rothschild!
