The Amazing son in law Chapter 8006
Steve Rothschild, long past his prime, casually remarked that a young man in his twenties was a close friend despite their age difference. The weight of this seemingly simple statement left Robert and Rachel speechless.
Robert knew all too well the weight of Steve, now the legal heir. Even his entire family combined couldn’t match the significance of such a simple statement from Steve. What extraordinary abilities did this young man named Andy Chen possess?
Since his surname was Chen, it was almost certain that the Asian youth was Chinese. Even the wealthiest people in China were only worth a few hundred billion dollars, perhaps not even reaching that level. The Rothschild family’s wealth empire, on the other hand, was worth trillions of dollars—the difference was like heaven and earth.
charlie wade, however, was quite generous, stepping forward and extending his hand to Robert with a smile: “Robert, right? I’ve heard Steve mention you. I heard you’re quite famous at Stanford?”
charlie wade’s casual remark startled Robert.
This was because he dared to address Steve Rothschild by his first name!
Leaving aside the fact that the latter is the second-in-command of the Rothschild family, the age difference alone makes it inappropriate for a young man to address an elderly person by their first name so casually.
In Chinese parlance, it’s like a twenty-year-old naturally addressing a sixty-year-old as Changhai, Shusheng, or Dayou – frankly, that’s somewhat impolite.
But charlie wade didn’t care about any of that.
Not directly calling Steve “old man” was already a great courtesy, and Steve himself didn’t feel anything was amiss. On the contrary, he felt that charlie wade addressing him by his first name showed a certain closeness. From his perspective, charlie wade was no longer just a friend despite the age gap; he was like a father to him. The more polite charlie wade was to him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Seeing Robert frozen in shock, Steve immediately stepped forward and sternly urged him, “Robert, Andy is shaking your hand. It’s very impolite of you to just stand there like that!”
These words made Robert’s legs go weak. At this moment, he no longer dared to guess who charlie wade was. So he quickly reached out with both hands to shake hands with charlie wade’s one hand, and said nervously and ashamedly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Chen, I was a little absent-minded just now.charlie wade readily accepted Robert’s apology, smiling and saying, “It’s alright, we’re all young, no need to be so polite.”
He then looked at Rachel Getty, who had been standing there dumbfounded, and asked with a smile, “Don’t you know how to address your girlfriend?”
Robert quickly introduced her, “Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Rachel Getty. She’s a descendant of the Miami Getty family.”
Rachel was completely unsure of this young tycoon’s background, only feeling that he seemed to be the most important person in the room. She immediately extended her hands and bowed slightly to charlie wade, saying, “Hello, Mr. Chen, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
charlie wade knew that Rachel definitely had Chinese ancestry, but deliberately teased her, “Miss Getty, you’re too kind. I think Miss Getty seems to have Asian ancestry. Are you Japanese?”
“No, no,” Rachel quickly waved her hand, blurting out, “My maternal grandmother is 100% Chinese, and my maternal grandfather is half Chinese. Strictly speaking, in my generation, there’s still 37.5% Chinese blood in my body, but because I look more like my mother, my Chinese ancestry is more obvious.”
charlie wade feigned surprise and laughed, “Oh my, so you’re still one-third Chinese! That’s great!”
After saying that, charlie wade turned to Steve and said in a tone of a leader instructing a subordinate, “Steve, you must take good care of Miss Getty in the future, treat it as a matter of importance.”
Without saying a word, Steve immediately replied respectfully, “Mr. Chen, don’t worry, I definitely will!”
Robert completely lost control of his expression, his mouth so wide you could see his throat.
Rachel was also completely dumbfounded.
I was probably too tired from training today. I hope you won’t take offense.”
