Chapter 5596

Seeing Charlie’s confident look, Maria felt relieved.

Then, she looked at the time and said, “Young Master, it’s almost eight o’clock now.

I wonder when you plan to go home?”

Charlie said, “My father-in-law usually leaves for the Painting and Calligraphy Association at nine

o’clock,

Which is quite close to my house. Miss Lin doesn’t need to see me off, the helicopter is too noisy in

the downtown area, so I can go back by myself.” Maria said, “Master, how can I let you go back

alone, I’d better drive you back.”

Charlie hurriedly said, “I really don’t need to be so troublesome, I can go by myself.” Maria said

quietly, “If you just leave like this, passing by the courtyard below, and the servants see you leaving

the courtyard early in the morning,”

“I don’t know how they will look at me.”

Charlie was embarrassed and he asked, “What does Miss Lin think is appropriate?”

Maria said, “My lord, wait a moment, and the servant can make arrangements.”

Charlie nodded, and said, “Miss Lin has to work hard to make arrangements.”

Maria smiled happily, and quickly said, ” Wait a minute master, I will let you know.” Saying that she

picked up her mobile phone, made a call, and said, “Mr. Zhang, come up.”

She hung up the phone, and Charlie asked curiously, “Is this Mr. Zhang you called the one you

called Grandpa in Northern Europe?”

Maria blushed pretty, and said shyly, “My lord, please forgive me for that time,” “I could only lie that

Mr. Zhang was the grandfather of mine, so as not to be suspicious…”

Charlie waved his hand indifferently, and asked curiously, “Actually, he is your adopted orphan,

right?”

“Yes,” Maria nodded, and said, “Last night, I told the young master that Mr. Zhang and the other two

old people living here are orphans adopted by me many years ago.”

Charlie couldn’t help asking, “Then you see Wouldn’t it be sad to watch them go from babies to old

people?”

“No.” Maria said indifferently, “Everyone has their own destiny.”

“I can live for more than three hundred years. Naturally, you can look down on everything.”

Charlie nodded slightly, but he still couldn’t understand what kind of feeling this was.

A few minutes later, an old man came to the door of Maria’s other courtyard,

Gently knocked on the door, and said respectfully, “Miss, the old slave is here.” Maria said loudly,

“Come in.”

The courtyard door was pushed open by the old man, He stepped into the door, and suddenly saw

Charlie sitting on the teacher’s chair, his expression was shocked. Although he has no memory of

seeing Charlie in Northern Europe, he has read Charlie’s information and knows that this is what the

lady has been looking for, The benefactor who saved the master and servant in Northern Europe.

After being surprised for a moment, Mr. Zhang hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, “This is old

Lao Zhang. I have met Mr. Wade! Thank you Mr. Wade for saving my life!”

Seeing such an octogenarian salute to him, Charlie quickly got up and said, “Mr.

Zhang, you are too polite. It’s just a little effort, don’t pay too much attention to it!” Maria said at this

moment, “Mr. Zhang is the housekeeper who is always with me, you don’t have to be so formal, just

treat him as your servant.”

Hearing Maria asking Charlie regarded him as a servant, and instead of being unhappy at all, Mr.

Zhang asked a little excitedly,

“Miss…you…have you told Mr. Wade everything about you?”

Hearing Mr. Zhang’s question, Maria suddenly remembered what happened last night, her pretty

face turned pink with embarrassment, and she said unnaturally, “I have been honest with Mr. Wade,

and I have told him all about the past three hundred years. From now on, In front of Mr. Wade, you

guys don’t need to hide anything, understand?”

Mr. Zhang nodded excitedly and said, “Miss, don’t worry, this old slave understands! This old slave

understands!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at Charlie, and said in an excited tone, “Mr. Wade, this old

servant dares to say that you are the only outsider who has truly let

the lady open up more than three hundred years of secrets…”

After all, Mr. Zhang realized that his wording was not accurate, and quickly explained, “What I mean

by this is that you are the only adult who has opened up your heart to Miss for so many years.”

“Unlike us, we were all brought up by Miss. Yes, since I was a child, I have been with the lady as a

servant,”

“And the lady will tell us the secret little by little when she sees that we have passed the test…”

Charlie smiled awkwardly and didn’t know how to answer the conversation for a while, so he had to

change the topic and said,

“Sir, If you are in front of me, you don’t have to pretend to be an old slave. The junior is really

ashamed to be…”

Mr. Zhang said without hesitation, “No, no, no, since the old slave was enlightened, he vowed to

stay with the young lady for the rest of his life as a servant.”

“You are the benefactor of the young lady and the old servant, and you are also the friend of the

young lady, so the old servant must not mess with the etiquette!” As he spoke, he suddenly said

with emotion, “Miss, I have been with you for nearly ninety years. I am really happy in my heart, and

I sincerely hope that you and Miss can…”

Maria sensed that his words were wrong, coughed twice, and said “What nonsense are you talking

about, Mr. Zhang?”

Mr. Zhang hurriedly said, “Miss, this old slave was a little incoherent when he saw your

benefactor…”

After finishing speaking, he quickly said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, this old slave is hoping You can often

come to accompany Miss,”

“She has been alone for so many years, without a friend, she is really lonely…” Maria was ashamed

and shy at this time, and said quickly, “Okay, Mr. Zhang, go and tell Mr. Larry, let him arrange for all

the servants to stay in their own rooms and not come out,”

“And you go prepare a car, and I will take Mr. Wade off later.” Mr. Zhang said without hesitation, “Old

slave obeys!”

He saluted Charlie again, and said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, this old slave is leaving first!”

Did you give him the name?”

“Yes.” Maria smiled and said.

Charlie asked: “Where did that Mr. Zhang’s surname come from?”

Maria said with a smile, “My son, the children adopted by my family are mostly abandoned babies

with no names and surnames, and my family can’t verify their original name.”

“However, I don’t want them to have the surname Lin, so as not to cause trouble, so

I wrote down the surnames of hundreds of families on paper,”

“Kneaded them into small paper balls, and then let them catch them in a daze;”

Charlie asked awkwardly, “Is it so casual?”

Maria asked curiously, “Otherwise? If I set it up for them by myself, if they don’t like it when they

grow up, wouldn’t they blame me?”

“Similarly, it is quite fair and reasonable to let them pick their own surnames, not only can they

choose their own surnames,”

“But I can also play a small game with them, which is the best of both worlds.” Charlie nodded,

although he didn’t say anything, but in his heart, he felt that although Maria has lived for nearly four

hundred years,”

“She still seems to have a strong girlish heart. Perhaps it is true as she said, she has always been

with a girl’s mind and way of life for these hundreds of years.

At this time, the elderly Zhang trotted all the way down the stone ladder.

His body is actually not able to support this kind of exercise anymore, but he was extremely excited,

so he felt a lot lighter under his feet.

As soon as he ran to the lobby of the main building in the courtyard on the next floor, Larry, who was

drinking tea with Ethan, asked curiously,

“Mr. Zhang, why are you running so fast? You are so old, and you are not afraid to lie here without

breathing…”

Mr. Zhang looked at the two of them with a smile, panting heavily, and said in a trembling voice of

excitement, “Happy… happy event… great happy event!” Ethan put down his teacup, and said with

a smile, “What a happy event Ah, Zhang?

Are you going to get married?”

Mr. Zhang glanced at him, and scolded with a smile, “You really can’t spit ivory out of your mouth!”

Then, Mr. Zhang came to the tea table of the two of them and sat down slowly.

He said to the two with a serious face, “I feel that the lady seems to have been moved!”
