Chapter 288: Curve to Save the Country
Gu Hanhan was stunned for a few seconds, then bent down to pick up the skirt on the ground, put it on his body numbly, and muttered in his mouth: "Don't let the healer be half-disabled, this is as mysterious as one day Su Daqian abandons her sister and Anthony falls in love with her sister, Mary-Gu Hanhan-Su, you are daydreaming again - you actually didn't hear anything-"
"Well, sister didn't hear anything - thank you, eldest sister, you are much kinder than those two guys yesterday, yesterday I didn't even have time to get a boxed lunch when they forced me on the road, and now I am so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back - yes, I didn't hear anything. Gu Hanhan highly praised the maid sister who stepped forward to help her zipper her skirt at this time, and then raised her feet and walked out.
David looked at Gu Hanhan funny, and deliberately waited for Gu Hanhan to walk to the door before opening his mouth to poke her: "You heard, Hanhan, I want to break the engagement with Helena." β
Gu Hanhan was immediately petrified, the muscles in his body tensed and stiffened, and only one mouth was left to play extraordinarily, like a photon gun that went off the rails, and automatically fired in all directions: "Divorce the healer? Although your spirit of loving even if you die is indeed commendable, can we stop joking, Mr. David Duran? As a critically ill patient who always expects others to save his life, don't you know that the person you can offend the most is the doctor?"
"If that's true, then I don't think it's a mental problem, it's an IQ problem. Well, it's either you have a problem with your IQ or I have a problem with my IQ. When I arrived at Beacon, I found that although neuropathy was everywhere, there was not a single one with a low IQ. So don't make fun of me, David, I can't believe me. You said that we signed a temporary worker agreement. In the spirit of the agreement, how good it is to be a good couple of lovers/concubines/heads! You get married, I go to my bed, and we both cure the disease and do it/love each other, why do you have to isolate yourself from the people and run to fall in love! Divorce and fall in love, then it is even worse!"
David's belly-full smile was amused by Gu Hanhan's sentence "Why do you isolate yourself from the people and run to fall in love", pursed his lips and tilted his head slightly, so that he could stabilize himself and not laugh. He was really nervous when he saw Gu Hanhan's appearance, so he simply let her go, skipped the marriage contract and love and didn't mention it anymore, and turned to gossip.
"It's still early, don't be in such a hurry. David used the same sentence he had just used, but in a more brisk tone. He glanced at the wall watch sent by the servant, and said to Gu Hanhan: "It's just five o'clock, and it's been less than 24 hours since you came." β
"It's not early, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, I still have to go to the banquet in the evening to give out scholarships, and the boyfriend of the banquet has not been found, so I have to find it when I go back!
Gu Hanhan scooped up the skirt that was in the way with one hand, grabbed the doorknob with the other, and prepared to slip away.
"I won't delay you going to the banquet," David was amused in his heart, but on the surface he had to make a serious gesture of saving, "It's completely too late for some afternoon tea, haven't you eaten all day, and you're so hungry that your chest is pressed against your back? Besides, you're barefoot. β
The male and female servants in the room gathered around and laid down a pair of crystal slippers for the bedroom.
Gu Hanhan held on to the door handle and didn't let go, feeling that she was about to cry, she really didn't want to sue the unlucky young man of Wuhao.
David walked over, stretched out his arm to grab Gu Hanhan, and said to her in a good time: "The agreement stipulates that David Duran will be responsible for your twenty-four hours, which should include keeping you full. As for saying that it is too late to find someone to act as a male companion to accompany you to the banquet, it is not a problem at all, I can be your male companion and accompany you to that banquet. I don't think you'll find a better party companion than me if you go back and look for it now. On top of that, you see we already have a ...... Yes, the temporary worker agreement is just the right thing to use - ah, it should be said, this is one of the contents of the temporary worker agreement - temporary counter-lover, temporary party male companion......"
"You say an agreement?" Gu Hanhan caught the key word "temporary worker agreement", his eyes lit up, and a carp jumped down from David's arm. She suddenly became energetic, and looked up a little eagerly and asked, "Are you negotiating an agreement now, David?
"If you want to just talk about the agreement, then we're going to talk about the agreement now. David smiled slightly, "In fact, I also think that it is far from the time to talk about love here, it is more like a joke." I'm so reckless to scare you, don't I? Forgive me for losing my ......sanity when I see you."
Gu Hanhan breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that his three souls and six spirits had returned to their places and came back to life.
"Thank goodness you've finally found your way back to the right path. Gu Hanhan lifted his toes, patted David's shoulder, and then patted his chest, and said with palpitations, "I'm scared to death! You can't make this kind of joke again, David!"
David's smile was like that, and his gentle gaze revealed perseverance and seriousness. He nodded, and his tone was categorical: "Never joke again." β
At this point, Gu Hanhan's heart finally fell completely into her stomach, and then caused a series of boiling reactions in her empty stomach.
"Can you eat?" she asked, "I'm starving." β
The dining room was in the room at the corner of the staircase, and when the servant opened the door, he saw a small dining table in the center of the house, with seven or eight long-backed chairs. The table was ready, and although David was talking about afternoon tea, it was clearly set up for a formal dinner. Once they were seated, the delicate dishes were brought up on silver trays.
Although the dining table is not magnificent, the dining is obviously pure superpower aristocratic style, which is almost the same as what Gu Hanhan is used to seeing in Su Daqian, there are more than a dozen servants waiting at the table alone, and there are several maids in addition to the servants, standing along the surrounding walls, and there are two teams of male servants taking turns to enter and exit, changing dishes at any time. These people are dozens of people in size, and they are stunned to set off the originally spacious restaurant.
Gu Hanhan's old dream was revisited, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth when Su Daqian first lived in his house. He took the spoon from the servant's hand and ate with great joy. Instead, David frowned slightly.
David's personal valet figured out his master's thoughts, and secretly made a gesture to order all the servants in the room to retreat, leaving only two male servants and two female servants to take care of the table.
David laughed at himself, "I'm ashamed, it seems that living in a house in the Torini district has not been able to get rid of the acropolis fetish." β
Unlike the Torini district, a state with a large foreign population, the Acropolis is next to Mount Olympia, and there are many superpowered nobles and wealthy families.
The so-called Acropolis fetish refers to the superpower and wealthy family's poor and extravagant life style and comparison with others, lest they fall behind in the servant pomp.
This kind of vice, Gu Hanhan can be regarded as accustomed to it. She put down the spoon and said something sincere: "Don't say that, David, you are already the least fond of putting on a score of all the superpowers I have seen. If this is changed to some people, it may be some kind of tossing method, how can sixty servants have a meal? at least one hundred and two!"
David couldn't have known that Gu Hanhan was referring to "some people" specifically referring to the "cosmic ronin" and "ex-boyfriend" named Anthony, so he was praised very excitedly, and personally scooped a bowl of soup for Gu Hanhan. Gu Hanhan was used to laughing, but he was so shocked that David's personal manservant almost didn't smash the bowl.
"Do you really want to accompany me to the banquet?" Gu Hanhan asked.
"Why not? Do you have a new temporary worker this time?"
"Wouldn't it be too high-profile? You go out with so many followers, not to mention, all the lighthouse stars seem to know you--I'm going to have to mix schools in the future!"
David smiled slightly: "Three-quarters of the superpower families of this banquet lighthouse star will go, and if you don't take me there, I will go myself." β
"Three-quarters of the superpower families will go?" Gu Hanhan was even more worried, "Will you touch Helena?"
The man who sleeps is short of breath, and my sister is not the peacock princess now!
David's eyes sank: "She never goes to this banquet." β
"Really?"
"Don't go. David replied firmly.
Gu Hanhan hesitated for a long time, thinking that he really couldn't find a second person to accompany him to the banquet, so he had to nod, "Okay, then you send someone to my dormitory and help me take the dress and jewelry for that banquet." β
David knew that the clothes and jewelry that Gu Hanhan was talking about were sent to her by the ranger's servant a few days ago, and he hated them very much in his heart for breaking up and refusing to break up completely - the ranger is such an abominable creature, they play the world, and have no sense of moral responsibility. disturb the pure and beautiful hearts of girls as they like, knock on the bones and suck the marrow to know that they have snatched away their last trace of love, and finally left them with a lifetime of misfortune.
However, on the surface, he can only remain quiet.
"Probably not," David looked at his valet, "they should have their clothes ready, right?"
"I can't wear it, Helena's body is so close to mine! she's taller than me, I'm thinner than her. β
David was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came up with a hard excuse: "It's my mother's dressing room." β
"New clothes and accessories will be prepared every month, Miss Gu, please try them first, there should be something that can be used." David's valet interjected at the right time, "If it doesn't work, it's not too late to get it." β
"Really, I'll take a look. β
Gu Hanhan pushed the dinner plate and stood up, and the incomparably clever personal valet went over to lead the way and invited him to the dressing room upstairs.
While Gu Hanhan was choosing a dress, David Duran also finished his meal and returned to another living room upstairs dedicated to himself. The servants waited for him to change into a night gown, and knelt on the ground to tie his loincloth. The chief attendant, Hebrew, walked into the room and said that all the preparations for the banquet had been made.
David nodded lightly and explained: "You should stay in the manor this year, you don't have to go with me, if there is something temporary......"
At this time, the servant sent the cufflinks, and David dropped the halfway order, and turned his eyes to look at the carefully selected cufflinks in the tray, so the servant who was waiting for the change of clothes did not dare to make up his own mind.
"What color dress did Miss Gu choose?" he asked.
The personal valet who accompanied Gu Hanhan to try on clothes had already returned, and at this time he quickly replied: "Miss Gu chose a yellow dress, and I am very satisfied after trying it." After a short bath, the maid will wait for her to put it on. β
"Then this one, it's more worthy of her. David clicked on a pair of yellow diamond cufflinks.
The servant who was waiting for the changing of clothes immediately took it off and put it on for David with his hands and feet. David caught a glimpse of the valet in a blink of an eye, so he casually asked, "Your name is Charles, right?"
"Yes, master. The valet Charles knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly with excitement. He knew that because of this compliment from his master, he would soon be able to sit on the throne of Mr. Steward of the family.
The chief attendant, Hebrew, looked up in shock and bewilderment, and saw David's face glittering with joy from the heart. Suddenly, the choice that had plagued Hebrew for days finally came to fruition.
"Master......" Hebrew knelt down.
"Huh?" said David, turning his head, "what's the matter, my chief squireβget up, don't always kneel." β
Hebrew knelt still, lowered his head, and said in a bitter voice: "Tonight's banquet, I beg the host not to go in person......"
A smile appeared on David's face, and the room fell into a dead silence, like the silence before a storm of rain and wind. He pushed aside the servant and walked forward until he reached the floor-to-ceiling window before stopping. Some stagnant emotions in the air slowly dispersed, and David Duran seemed to fall into some kind of memory.
"Hebrew," David said, gazing at the beautiful patterns of the velvet curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and after a long time he spoke slowly, "I will always remember that when I was brought here at the age of nine, I was embattled and unaccompanied, and it was you and I who stood together. β
He turned his head, and there was a slight fluctuation in his voice after restraint: "In any case, I don't have to change another chief squire, I'm glad." β
