Chapter 233: Merit-based Selection
The girl instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
And she herself widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Gu Linyuan in disbelief.
"Me?" Monsoon said, pointing a finger at herself.
"Yes. Gu Linyuan smiled and nodded.
"However, I'm just a maid, so I shouldn't be able to participate......" Ji Yuyou first looked at Yue Linghan's face in horror, and after making sure that it was still within the controllable range, he very wisely chose to refuse first.
"I think I should have the right to choose my own female companion. Gu Linyuan still stubbornly stretched out his hand, and he didn't want to give up, as if if he couldn't get the girl's answer, the scene would continue to be like this.
"I'm sorry. ”
Just as Ji Yu was thinking hard about how to refuse, a strong force suddenly struck, and he was overbearingly embraced by the man next to him.
"You're a step too late, she's already promised to be my female companion. ”
The man held his head high and announced to everyone with dignity.
Gu Linyuan's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he naturally lowered his hand and fell to his side, "Oh, I don't know when Mr. Yue asked her opinion. ”
Ji Yuyou also followed and looked at the man beside him.
The invitation that I received after I entered the door, and none of the words I had said mentioned the word invitation, this man could still say it so categorically, it was simply a lie and not a draft.
Facing Gu Linyuan's questioning, the man didn't feel that his logic was inappropriate in the slightest, "The position next to her can only belong to me." ”
After the man finished speaking, he also turned his gaze to the girl.
Ji Yuyou looked at Yue Linghan speechlessly.
Anyway, do you want her to say something to contradict her?
"Well, yes, I have agreed to be the young master's female companion. ”
As soon as the words came out, not only Gu Linyuan's eyes changed instantly, but also from the beginning full of hope, it became overshadowed.
On the other side, the eyes of Jiang Wan and Yue Tiancheng also instantly became fierce.
"Well, it looks like I'm being amorous. Gu Linyuan's fists clenched and let go, his face was obviously lost, "In this case, the two things I want to do have already come to fruition, so I'll leave today and excuse me." ”
"Brother Linyuan......" Ji Yuyou really couldn't help but take a step forward.
Just now she spoke according to Yue Linghan's meaning, and she didn't think too much, but now seeing Gu Linyuan's performance like this, she felt guilty for a while, for fear that her refusal would make Brother Linyuan feel that she had lost face.
After all, it was in public, and when he was in a difficult situation before, Brother Lin Yuan was one of the few people who treated him sincerely, but now he rejected his invitation so bluntly......
Yue Linghan's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the girl's wrist before her voice could be amplified.
As a result, half of Ji Yuyou's call was frightened back into his throat by the man's threatening gaze.
She dared to guarantee that if she really kept Brother Linyuan, she would definitely be overshadowed by Yue Linghan's gaze thousands of times.
It's important to save your life, it's important to save your life......
"Yue Linghan!"
Gu Linyuan walked out of the entrance of Yue's house under the leadership of the servant, and as soon as his figure disappeared from sight, Yue Tiancheng's roar resounded throughout the hall.
The maids on standby shrunk their necks in unison.
Sun Yueyao bowed her head respectfully, but the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer.
Hmph, I even wanted to go to the Gu family's dinner as the young master's female companion, but I was just a pheasant dressed in a phoenix skin, and I really regarded myself as the proud daughter of the day, but I couldn't recognize myself for a few pounds and taels in a few days.
Even if the young master promotes you again, you are just a maid, and you can't get on the stage after all, now ...... Let's see what the lord and lady will do to clean you up.
Sun Yueyao, who was blinded by jealousy, had completely ignored the fact that it was Yue Linghan just now and offered to let Ji Yuyou be her female companion.
"Oh, don't be so excited, dissipate your breath. Jiang Wan saw Yue Tiancheng shaking unsteadily when he stood up, and hurriedly went up to support him, patting him on the back for him.
"Ling Han, look at how angry you have made your father. Jiang Wan looked at his son dissatisfied, "You don't use your brain before you talk or do things, or say hello to us." ”
"Is this necessary just to choke with that kid?"
Yue Linghan raised his hand and ordered the maid to change into a pot of hot tea, and sat down on the sofa in a relaxed manner, "If you mean what I just said...... It's not a joke or a gamble, I mean it. ”
"Say it again. Yue Tiancheng and Jiang Wan's eyes widened.
"I said, I'm serious. Yue Linghan held the bone china teacup in one hand and his temple in the other, looking at the two people in front of him with a smile.
"You still have the face to drink tea!" Yue Tiancheng glared at his son, snatched the teacup from his hand and threw it on the wall.
There was a loud bang, broken porcelain and water splashed, but no one dared to hide from the unintentional slander.
Whoever is in such a limelight can only remain trembling, otherwise it will undoubtedly be a collision with the muzzle.
"Don't you know that your female companion is the face of the Yue family, and even if you mess around at home, you still have to bring this ...... This lowly subordinate went outside to lose face, didn't you take my words and your mother to your heart at all!"
"Oh, then according to what you and my mother mean, what should I do?" Yue Linghan raised his head, as if looking directly into Yue Tiancheng's eyes with considerable interest.
The teacup just now literally flew past his eyes, and the man remained calm, not even blinking his eyes.
"Alas, son, you are too impulsive to do things this time. Jiang Wan and her husband's education methods adhere to two routes, one is tough and the other is gentle.
She has always believed that no matter what kind of character Yue Linghan is, there is always a way that will work, "We don't restrict you in private, which woman you love, how you like to make friends, but on the surface, you are the heir of the Yue Group, and you must be cautious in everything...... In fact, your father and I have already selected a female partner for you, just waiting for you to decide on a pleasing look, and you ......"
Jiang Wan let out a long sigh and made a sad look.
"Then I really failed my father and mother's kindness. Yue Linghan lowered his eyelashes and said lightly.
"I think you just toast and don't eat and drink!" Yue Tiancheng scolded angrily.
"Husband, just say a few words! It's not too late to know now, Ling Han, we've already sorted it out for you, come, let's see which one you like?" Jiang Wan took a folder from the servant's hand.
In fact, this is not a temporary idea.
