"Miss, do you want me to inquire quietly?" Leng An saw Xu Ningning's curiosity, so he asked.

Xu Jingning was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again and again, "It's okay, didn't they say it, Mr. Duke will introduce it later, if you are seen, it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Leng An lowered his head guiltily.

"It's okay, let's go! Let's go over there and have a look. ”

Xu Jingning put down the wine glass and walked towards another place where the woman was concentrated, Leng An shrugged his shoulders and followed helplessly.

"Why are you here?" Suddenly, Leng An was tapped on the shoulder.

Leng An turned around, it was a young woman she didn't know, "I'm sorry, what do you need help with?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then blushed and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I recognized the wrong person, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"It's okay." Leng An smiled slightly, turned around and continued to look for Xu Ningning.

The woman looked at his back in a daze and muttered, "How can it be so similar?" ”

"Hey! Daisy, what's wrong? What are you in a daze? ”

The woman raised her head when she heard this, and the person standing in front of her was the person she was looking for, and she couldn't help but smile sweetly. "I'm looking for you everywhere! By the way, I just saw a gentleman who looks like you! ”

"Maybe I have a public face, let's go, Mr. Duke is waiting for me." The man pinched the woman's nose and led her away.

Xu Jingjing was chatting with someone hotly, when Moss's call suddenly came from behind him.

"Quiet!" Next to Moss stood not only Autrand, but also a young man who looked very well-cultivated.

"Hello, Count Moss." Xu Ningning turned his head and bowed slightly. When he saw Otrang next to him, a trace of disdain quickly flashed in his eyes.

Count Moss held his glass and smiled kindly. These people's skills in acting on the spot are really strong.

"Come, I'll introduce you." Moss gestured to the young man beside him.

Xu Ningning's smile froze, a little unclear, but she still smiled cooperatively, waiting for Count Moss to introduce her.

"This is the youngest son of the Earl of Fairman of London, Vince. This is what I told you, Vince, my niece, the owner of Rose Castle, Xu Tranquility. ”

Vince smiled lightly, stepped forward, and took the initiative to clink glasses with Xu Ningning, "Miss Xu, hello, it's nice to meet you." ”

"Hello." Xu Jingjing only maintained the politeness that she should have on the surface, and a disgust had already risen in her heart, because she saw the greed in Vince's eyes.

Moss took a sip of wine, and then continued, "Jing, you are not small anymore, I shouldn't have decided your life's affairs, but your parents are gone, and I have to serve a snack." ”

said it really sincerely, if it weren't for the lessons of the past, Xu Ningning would really think that this was a good uncle through the ages.

Xu Ningning suppressed the disgust in his heart, and the smile on his face faded a little, "Mr. Earl, Viscount Autrand's marriage has not yet been decided, so mine is not in a hurry, thank you for your concern." ”

"It's true that there's no need to worry, but it's good to make more friends, it just so happens that Vince wants to go to Somar for two days, so you can take care of the reception." Moss didn't care about Xu Ningning's opposition at all, he believed in Vince's ability.

No matter how indifferent Xu Jingning is, she is also a young girl, how can she not disarm and surrender in the face of the fierce pursuit of a handsome man? By then, wouldn't she have let him slaughter?

Thinking of such a scene, Moss's smile became even kinder.

"Monsieur Earl, it's not that I don't give you face, this is the first time I've met Mr. Vince, and inviting him to the castle will only make me look frivolous and casual. You say yes, right? ”

I want her to regress, but she doesn't. He thought that Rose Castle was a public hotel, and he could enter it if he wanted to?

Moss didn't expect Xu Jingning to refuse even such a small request, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Mr. Vince is also a noble child, how can you be so rude?"

Xu Ningning's expression was tepid, and she felt happy when she saw Moss angry.

Why do you think it's rude? Isn't that a testament to my good manners? I guess Mr. Vince grew up in an aristocratic family, so he didn't know the importance of fame to a girl, right? ”

Vince still had a gentle smile on his face, but he re-examined Xu Jingjing in his heart. "Count Moss, Miss Xu is right, such a rash visit will only show that I do not know how to be polite. Let's talk about it later. ”

Otrang on the side sneered, "What etiquette did you talk about at this time, what about the **** person you took in in the castle?" What does it mean that you are willing to take in people of unknown origin but not to receive Mr. Vince? ”

He thought that would allow him to compromise? Really underestimate yourself. Xu Ningning put down his wine glass and said lightly, "I should have forgotten to tell you, the castle is not inhabited by people of unknown origin, one of them is my boyfriend, and the other is my good friend. ”

"Boyfriend? Hmph, you'd better be careful, in case these people approach you with malicious intentions, you'll be empty of money and money. Autran looked nonchalant.

When Moss heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger, but he still pretended to be surprised. "Mr. Ou still lives in the castle? Haven't they all recovered? Why don't you go back to your own country? Is it really an ulterior motive? ”

This is really a thief shouting to catch a thief, Xu Jingjing smiled contemptuously, "It's not up to you to decide whether they go or stay. They won't leave until they help me get rid of the people with real ulterior motives. ”

"You're embarrassing her again?!" Duke Yukos came over in exasperation, his majestic gaze on Moss.

Moss's body froze, and an invisible sense of oppression greeted him. "Mr. Duke." Moss smiled wryly.

Yukos stood in front of Xu Ningning, protecting her behind him.

"How many times have I told you, don't hit her idea, why don't you listen? She's a child of Omdo, a member of the Gurrant family, can you bear to persecute a child like this? ”

Xu Ningning's heart warmed, she didn't expect Yukos to come forward for herself. He has always shown that he doesn't like himself, but at such a moment, he stands up and defends himself, which is many times better than those who are good and evil.

"Mr. Duke, you misunderstood, I was just introducing them to young people." Moss hurriedly explained, for fear that Yukos would blame himself. He can't afford to offend such a big man.

Yukos snorted coldly, too lazy to bother with him, turned to Xu Jingjing and said, "You come with me." ”

After speaking, he left directly, Xu Jingjing hesitated, but still followed.

Yukos led her to the presiding stage at the front of the banquet hall, Xu Jingjing looked up, couldn't help but be stunned, and looked intently at the man standing on it.

"What's wrong?" Yukos was a little dissatisfied when he saw her standing still.

Xu Jingjing came back to her senses, "Oh, it's okay, maybe I read it wrong." After saying that, he continued to follow him forward.

Leng An had been following Xu Jingning, and of course he also saw the man standing on the stage, and the woman standing next to the man was the one who recognized him as someone else before.

Turning his gaze to the man, Leng An was also stunned.

Yukos stood in front of the microphone and coughed twice, and the guests in the hall fell silent and turned their eyes to the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to invite you here today, on the one hand, I want to introduce the members of our family, and on the other hand, I would like to announce something."

As we all know, Duke Yukos's youngest son died of illness a year ago, leaving no heirs during his lifetime, so he took the initiative to pass on the young man saved by his youngest son to his name.

"As you can see, this one next to me is my grandson, Aaron." Yukos stood aside and gave the microphone to Aaron, "Say hello to everyone." ”

Aaron stepped forward a little reluctantly, "Hello everyone, I'm Aaron, it's nice to meet you." With that, he stepped aside.

Xu Jingjing kept staring at him, and after coming into contact with his cold gaze, he was startled. No, it's not him, he doesn't look at himself with such eyes.

Yukos glared at Aaron dissatisfied, and then walked to the microphone again, "Aaron, this kid is not very good at speaking, I hope you will understand, take care of him more in the future." Next, I would like to announce one thing. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Ningning, Xu Ningning was a little confused, from being pulled up until now, she still understood what Yukos's reason for doing this was.

"You don't know this young girl next to me, she is the only daughter of Count Omdo, a member of the Gulrant family! If anyone bullies her in the future, it will be impossible to get along with me! ”

This sentence was equivalent to taking her under his wing, and Xu Jingjing looked at Yukos in surprise, not understanding why he would suddenly do this.

If he stood up for her before, it can be understood that he can't get used to Moss's behavior, but now he is openly acting as her protective shield, which makes Xu Jingjing a little confused, if Yukos is really standing up for himself, then why didn't he do it a long time ago, but leave it until now? It must not be that simple.

After patiently listening to Yukos's speech, Yukos called her, Aaron, and the woman together.

In the quiet study, Yukos sat quietly in the leather chair, unloading his majesty, he was just an ordinary old man in his old age.

"I called you here to tell you something." After a long silence, Yukos spoke.

"Say Mr. Duke, please." Xu Jingjing couldn't wait to know his true purpose.

Yukos looked at her, then at Aaron, and then said, "I hope you two can get married." ”

"What?!" Xu Jingjing and Aaron said in unison, looking at each other in shock, and then looked at Yukos together.
