"Teacher He Xi, please come here"

Outside the castle, Meng Huo and the other two met Anne who had been waiting for a long time, and walked into the castle under her guidance.

"Miss Anne, this time there are only three of us, right?"

"Of course, this is the private dinner you have prepared for you." Annie smiled. She did not introduce herself, but after so many years, He Xi still remembered her when she met: "Teacher He Xi, your memory is really good... Miss Chen Jie is also good."

Chen Jie also recognized her, but Annie almost couldn't recognize these two young people. But it's no wonder that He Xi and Shen Jie were both in their youth, but now they have changed their appearance and become adults.

"Miss Anne, I have a question." At this time, Alice also spoke: "Why do people here seem to know me?"

After she got off the car, she felt something was wrong. Walking on the road, the servants and guards around her looked at her with strange eyes, just like seeing a familiar person, and her attitude was respectful. But Alice had never been here. Why did those people look at her with such eyes?

Meng Huo and Shen Jie didn't feel that way at all. As soon as Alice said it, Meng Huo also noticed something was wrong. Just as she was about to ask, Annie had already expressed the answer: "Maybe they misunderstood... Miss Alice, you look a bit like a royal princess, she will come here occasionally."

Chen Jie laughed: "Alice, your mother won't have anything to do with the royal family here."

"Impossible, it should be by chance." Alice shook her head: "My mother told me about her life experience, and she will never have anything to do with the Royal Family for eight lifetimes."

This should be just a chance. Alice knew her mother's identity. Her mother was just a civilian who lived in a small city for generations and it would be even more impossible for her father to come. If he had a relationship with the royal family, how could it end up going to Jidong to cheat food and drink?

"What is the name of that princess?" Meng Huo asked curiously.

"Princess Soanna." Anne said lying without blinking: "Her father is a duke, and he said he was a royal family, but in fact he only had such a small part of the royal bloodline. He could not be said to be a real princess. There are hundreds of such princesses in our country."

"Hundreds?" Meng Huo was shocked when he heard this number: "Your princesses are really too many."

He and Alice immediately lost interest in exploring the princess, which was just an episode. Neither of them suspected that even if Alice's mother was present, she could not guess that the man would add a half-sister to Alice.

And even if there is such a possibility, Alice's sister would not be known to the servants of the Duke's Mansion. Lisa's deeds are full of accidentality. If she is not the one who is in it, she would never believe that there would be a girl so lucky.

Anthony's Duke's Mansion has a lobby for banquets. However, this time it was just a banquet for three guests, and Anne placed the banquet in the restaurant where the host usually had dinner.

"After so many years, the Duke's complexion is still so good." Meng Huo saw Duke Anthony outside the restaurant. He hadn't seen him for several years, and his complexion had not changed at all. It can be seen that he pays attention and maintenance on weekdays.

He and Alice Chen Jie greeted Duke Anthony one after another, and the Duke smiled.

"This little guy is very lucky." He thought so. Everyone in China thought why he had gone out for a trip and went for a field trip. Who would have thought that he would go out for a trip with his arms around and the three of them lived in the same room.

The young men and women are so close together, Anthony would not naively believe that there is no relationship between them. But everyone is young. He was not as clean as He Xi when he was young, and there were many girls around him. Although he had no choice but to be Anne left, Anthony was not qualified to say bad things about He Xi.

Perhaps because he was in a foreign country, Meng Huo did not deny his relationship with Shen Jie and others in front of Anthony.

"I'm back to the Meng family." He said lightly: "They are my women."

Just by this sentence, Anthony immediately understood everything. The Meng family is a big family in China. It is not a big deal that he was not surprised to have two wives. As early as a few years ago, Anthony knew that Meng Huo would return to the Meng family sooner or later.

"I know what you mean." Anthony looked at Meng Huo with a smile: "Don't worry. I won't do meaningless things."

It is meaningless to announce the fact that Meng Huo is on both boats. With the Meng family protecting him, even if the matter is announced, they can quickly extinguish the situation, but Anthony will arouse the anger of the Meng family.

Of course he was unwilling to form such a great enemy. Moreover, He Xi was so young, how far he could reach in the future? No one could see through now that he might lead the Meng family to create a larger economic empire. Anthony did not want to stand opposite him.

He took Meng Huo into the restaurant. After the four of them sat down, the servants immediately set up food at the round dining table.

"Miss Anne won't sit?" Shen Jie looked at Anne curiously. She stood behind Anthony, showing no sign of sitting down.

"I am a servant." Anne replied, "The servant cannot sit with the master."

Shen Jie frowned slightly. Although Anthony and Anne were master-servant relationships, no matter how she looked at them, they were closer than ordinary servants. She couldn't see them many years ago, but now her eyes were brighter.

She was nourished by Meng Huo and could see that Annie's eyes looked at Anthony were not just the master and servant. Anthony's eyes looked at Anne were different from other servants. While they were in the relationship between master and servant, they seemed to be like a family.

"These two must have a slight affair." Shen Jie was so gossiped, and suddenly Alice twisted her gently beside her. Shen Jie looked over and Alice gave her a troublesome look.

Alice and Meng Huo can naturally see what Shen Jie can see, but no matter what Anthony and Anne have, it has nothing to do with them, and it is not suitable to tell them in front of them.

"I understand." Shen Jie used her eyes to relieve Alice and put away her thoughts.

At this time, Annie poured red wine for Anthony and Meng Huo respectively. Anthony smiled and said, "I brought this bottle of wine with me when I went to Ninghai a few years ago. Unfortunately, you were too young at that time and couldn't have a drink with you."

"It's OK now." Meng Huo gently shook the red wine in the glass and smelled it: "This wine has a certain age."

The old duke looked at Anne who was pouring wine for Alice and the other two, and said, "This wine was stored for me twenty years ago. She originally planned to put it on for another ten years. In ten years, it is a question whether I will still be there or not."

Meng Huo was stunned, but Anne said after pouring the wine: "Your Excellency the Duke is in good health. As long as you don't look like a child, staying up late to read comics secretly, twenty years will not be a problem."

Chen Jie and Alice immediately smiled with their lips pursed. Anthony was speechless and raised the wine glass slightly: "I won't talk about this anymore. Teacher He Xi and two lucky girls, welcome to London."

"Thank you" The four of them drank a few glasses of wine, and they tasted it briefly. After Anne put away the wine, Meng Huo asked Anthony: "His Duke, is "England Comic Weekly" your industry?"

"England Comic Weekly", Roland Boy Comics, and Charlie Newcomer Comics..." Anthony said the names of more than a dozen comic magazines in one breath: "I have investments in these magazines, but they do not belong to me, they all operate them."

He did not tell the truth, but he actually controlled the most popular comic magazines. But Anthony didn't want to tell Meng Huo that he guessed what Meng Huo would definitely ask this time.

"... There is a very good cartoonist in "English Comics Weekly", known as the king of European comics. She seems to have published serials in other magazines." Sure enough, Meng Huo pondered for a while and immediately asked again: "The Duke knows the identity of that cartoonist?"

"I know." Anthony nodded. If she didn't know, Meng Huo would obviously not believe it.

"I also know why Teacher He Xi, you asked her." A smile flashed in his eyes and said, "Is her painting style very similar to a Chinese cartoonist?"

Meng Huo nodded: "A remarkable new cartoonist."

"Jingyue, Zhongxia Company's contracted cartoonist, right?" Anthony's smile even better: "I think you're right. These two people are together... Jingyue debuted in Europe for five years. She is now the best-selling cartoonist here, but she does not belong to any comic company."

Alice looked surprised. Meng Huo had already told her and Shen Jie about Jingyue in detail on the road. She was not surprised that he asked Anthony, but what does Anthony mean when this sentence did not belong to any comic company?

"What the Duke means? This cartoonist is a body of freedom"

"Yes." Anthony looked at Annie beside her. Anne nodded and stood up and said, "Jingyue and comics have signed contracts for works. She likes to contribute different works to different companies because the quality of works is very high. All comics companies are rushing to ask for them."

Meng Huo frowned slightly: "Will the comic company agree to her request?"

These things don't sound real. No matter how high the quality of the works is, these comic companies will not be willing to accept the contract for the works. They will definitely find ways to find Jingyue and then ask her to sign an exclusive agreement. This is the case with the Chinese comic artists.

"There is no way to refuse." Anne continued: "Someone has investigated Jingyue's identity, but no one knows who she is."

"No one knows who she is?" Alice was shocked. Isn't this the same as China? No one in China knows who Jingyue is. She used to suspect that she was her biological father, but found that it was a cover, most of which was the substitute that others found.

"She is very cautious every time she submits, leaving no clues, and even the reporter can't find her." Anthony said: "She has no editors, and even the bank card that charges the manuscript fee is an anonymous card... The comic company doesn't know her identity."

Meng Huo looked at Anthony: "Have you ever investigated her?"

"certainly."

"You don't know either?"

“…No line…”

Anthony was about to answer without clues, but when he saw the suspicion on Meng Huo's face, he immediately knew that the answer was not possible. Since he could lock Meng Huo before entering London, it would be impossible for even a cartoonist to find such a thing. Maybe it would have a negative effect.

"...I found her almost four years ago." He changed the answer, which shocked Anne beside him. But after all, he had seen the storm, and Anne's surprise did not appear on her face.

Meng Huo's suspicion disappeared a lot: "Then you know her identity."

"I know." Anthony sighed in his heart, but his smile did not change on his face: "But even though he knows, I can't tell you her identity now."

"Why?"

"If I tell you, she knows, wouldn't she not contribute to my magazines?" Anthony spread his hands and said, "I don't want to make that lady angry. She is our number one cartoonist."

Meng Huo was a little unbelievable: "Will you care about a mere cartoonist?"

"If she were a mere cartoonist, it would be impossible for anyone to find her."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that her identity is very sensitive." Alice looked at Anthony and said, "Min felt that the Duke kept secrets for her."

This is her guess. Since the cartoonist can maintain such a mysterious identity in China, Zhongxia Company is unwilling to disclose it. It can be seen that she may have some amazing background, so it is not impossible to keep Anthony's secret.

"Miss Alice is really smart." Anthony praised, and at the same time he felt a little cold. Alice said something vague. She did not say that the identity of the cartoonist was beyond Anthony's control, but said that her identity was very sensitive.

"Did she notice something?" he thought so. It was not surprising that Alice's words just now were the ones she discovered that the cartoonist was an important person to Anthony, but with so few clues, she could find so many things?

Anthony was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't test it, and it would definitely be easier to detect it once it was tested.

Meng Huo seemed to have given up. In fact, he was just curious at first. He didn't have to know the other party's identity and even Anthony was unwilling to tell him the answer. Instead, it made Meng Huo even more curious and looked forward to seeing the cartoonist one day.

After the dinner ended, Meng Huo handed Anthony a letter when he left.

"This is……"

"This is for Jingyue, you should be able to hand it over to her, right?" Meng Huo laughed and said, "I read some of her comics. Here are my thoughts and opinions on them. Just tell her that it is an ordinary reader's suggestion."

Anthony's eyes lit up, and he looked at Meng Huo with a little surprise. He Xi gave Lisa advice, so he was not worried that she would become more powerful and threaten him? To be continued.
