Chapter 173: Seems to be an old man
The woman beside Aaron's face suddenly turned pale, and the hand holding Aaron tightened.
"Grandfather, I wonder why this is arranged."
"Yes, Mr. Duke, I don't know this Mr. Aaron, why did you arrange it this way?" Although this Aaron is exactly the same face as in his memory, but that person is dead and will not appear, Xu Ningning categorically did not talk about the reason that others are used as stand-ins, not to mention, there is already Ou Yan by her side.
Yukos had a look on his face that could not be refused, "You two need to know that I am not discussing with you, but informing you. ”
In Yukos's view, it is the most effective and lasting way to stabilize Xu Ningning's status and marry her into his own family. And Aaron, who has just become a nobleman, needs strong material support behind him, and from the perspective of these, the two of them are best together.
Without waiting for the two to refute, Yukos looked at the woman again and said, "Daisy, if you really love Aaron, then please leave him, this is the best arrangement!" ”
"You can't do that!" Aaron grabbed Daisy's hand tightly, for fear that others would snatch her away from him, "I love Daisy, and the only person I want to marry is her!" ”
After speaking, he glared at Xu Ningning, Xu Ningning shrugged helplessly, this matter was not proposed by her, and it was useless to stare at her.
"Mr. Duke, I already have a boyfriend, so I can't agree to this ridiculous marriage."
No matter how much she needs Yukos' support, she won't sell herself to get it.
Instead of getting angry, Duke Yukos asked, "Do you both understand your situation?" ”
Without waiting for Aaron to answer, Xu Jingjing had already taken the lead, "Mr. Duke, I know that you want to provide me with permanent protection, but if I can't keep the family business left to me by my father through my own efforts, then I am not worthy of being his daughter." ”
"Grandfather, I was rescued by my father, I know that many people outside are talking about me behind my back, but I do it right, and the opinions of outsiders will not affect me at all, only by truly winning the respect of everyone is how I can stay in this circle forever."
Both young men were so strong, Yukos sighed.
"I know my idea is ridiculous, but the world is never as simple as you think. You want to strengthen your position through your own efforts, which is very difficult to do in England. ”
Without power, wealth and status, it is simply difficult to move an inch, and no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to become a superior person.
Xu Jingning didn't understand Yukos's thoughts, she didn't understand why she had to use this kind of marriage to tie two people who didn't know anything at all, even if they could both get what they wanted, but how should they spend their days between them?
"Grandfather, I don't care about my status, I just hope that in my lifetime, I can repay your kindness well, and that's enough." Aaron is not a man who covets fame and fortune, and this is what Yukos fears.
Looking at Aaron and Daisy's clasped hands, Yukos shook his head helplessly, "Don't reject me so quickly, let's get along with each other first." But anyway, Miss Daisy, I'm not going to approve of you being with Aaron. ”
Daisy's face instantly turned pale, and she lowered her head a little helplessly. She knew that she was from a small family and was not worthy of the Yukos family, but she loved Aaron, and she didn't want to leave him.
Xu Ningning looked at the two of them, her expression was a little dazed, a long time ago, there was such a person, holding her hand tightly, standing in front of her grandfather with a stubborn face, hoping that he would be fulfilled. But then, she lost him.
"Mr. Duke, it is not easy to have a sincere relationship, please be able to fulfill this pair of lovers." Xu Jingjing kindly interceded for them.
Yukos's face sank, "Don't you understand why there is such a tragedy between your parents?" The relationship between the door and the door and the wrong household will not end well. ”
"But it was your thoughts, it was your obstruction that caused the tragedy to happen, and in such an enlightened era, do you want the tragedy of my parents to repeat itself?"
These nobles of the older generation are the most stubborn in their thinking, in their eyes, only those with equal interests can come together, and their identities do not match, no matter how much they love each other, they will not agree.
Daisy glanced at Xu Jingjing gratefully, but she knew in her heart how difficult it was to convince Yukos.
"Grandfather, I know that you are for my good, but let me reluctantly be with someone I don't like, I will not be happy in this life, will I be happy?" Aaron didn't back down, but the words were somewhat familiar to him, as if he had heard them say it before.
Xu Jingjing was stunned for an instant, these words were once said by her kneeling in front of her grandfather, but now, they came out of Aaron's mouth, and her heart could no longer be calm.
"Lin Cuo!" Xu Jingjing looked at him and suddenly called out.
Aaron glanced at her inexplicably, "What is Miss Xu talking about?" ”
Under his eyes was a strangeness that he had never seen before, Xu Jingjing was a little confused, "No, it's nothing." ”
"Grandfather, please stop forcing me to do things I don't want to do, okay?" Aaron genuinely thought of the mailing as his grandfather, but he didn't want his life to be dictated by someone else.
"Okay, that's all for today, and we'll talk about this later." Yukos stood up in annoyance, glanced at Aaron, and walked out of the room.
Leng An waited outside the door, and when he saw Yukos coming out, he bowed his head respectfully.
"You're the butler of Rose Castle?" Yukos stood still in front of him and asked in a cold voice.
"Yes, Mr. Duke." Leng An still kept his head down.
"You look up."
Leng An was stunned for a moment, and raised his head inexplicably, "May I ask Mr. Duke any orders?" ”
Seeing his face clearly, Yukos was taken aback, "You...... What is your name? ”
"Leng An."
Yukos hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and when he heard Leng An's answer, he nodded sluggishly, and then didn't say anything more, leaving the place, looking back at him as he walked.
Of course, Leng An knew why Yukos was so surprised, even when he saw that Aaron, he was taken aback.
"Miss Xu, thank you for speaking for us just now." Aaron shook hands with Xu Jingning and thanked him politely.
Xu Jingjing looked at him and said with a light smile: "You don't have to thank me, I'm also helping myself." ”
Daisy also looked at Xu Ningning with a grateful face, "Miss Xu also has someone she loves, that's why she understands us so much, right?" ”
Xu Ningning nodded, thinking of Ou Yan, her heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
"By the way, Miss Xu, who is that gentleman standing outside?" Aaron was also amazed that there would be people who looked so much like him.
Xu Jing paused for a moment and understood why he asked this, "He is my butler, Chinese, and an only child." She once mistook Leng An, but Leng An was an only child family, had no brothers, and had never been to the UK before studying, so Xu Jingning gave up that idea.
The main thing is that that person is dead, he saw it with his own eyes, is there a fake?
Thinking of the past, Xu Ningning's eyes were filled with sadness.
Seeing her like this, Aaron's heart began to feel distressed. "Miss Xu, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine, let's get out. Xu Jingning smiled awkwardly, and then walked out first.
Seeing Leng An at the door, Xu Ningning said, "Leng An, let's go back to the castle as soon as possible." ”
The qiē here made her feel depressed, and she didn't know what would happen if she stayed any longer.
Leng An glanced up at her, saw that she looked bad, and didn't ask anything, "Okay, I'll go and prepare the car." ”
"Miss Xu, are you going back?" Daisy saw that Xu Jingjing looked like she was leaving, and then asked.
Xu Jingning turned around and nodded with a smile, "The banquet is about to end, and I should go back too." ”
"But it's already so late, why don't you leave early tomorrow morning?" Aaron subconsciously went to keep it.
"Forget it, aren't you afraid that Mr. Duke will come up with some strange trick to tie us together? When the time comes, you'll regret keeping me! Xu Jingjing shook off the haze in his heart and teased with a smile.
Aaron and Daisy looked at each other and smiled, holding each other's hands, "No, we both believe in each other, so no matter what happens, we won't abandon each other." ”
Listening to Daisy's words, Xu Jingjing sighed in her heart. "I hope you can always be like this, don't forget your original intention, and you have to always."
"We will, thank you." Aaron thanked again.
Xu Jingjing smiled, stopped talking, waved at them, and left.
"Mr. Aaron, do you remember, Lin Tso?" Leng An waited for Xu Ningning to walk away before asking quietly.
Aaron frowned suspiciously, this name had just been mentioned by Xu Ningning, but who this person was, Aaron had never heard of it at all. "I'm sorry, I haven't heard that name."
"Oh, sorry to bother you." Leng An said sorry, and then left with Xu Ningning.
Daisy looked at the backs of them leaving one after another, and a feeling of unease suddenly rose in her heart. "Aaron, did they know you before?"
Feeling her uneasiness, Aaron gently pulled up her nonsense, put it to his mouth and kissed it, "I used to be gone, now I am Aaron, Aaron who loves you, even if I can remember the past, it won't change the fact that I love you." ”
"Well, no matter what, we can't betray each other and leave each other." Daisy hugged him like she hugged her whole world.
Xu Jingjing returned to the hall in a low voice, she had to find Duke Yukos and greet him before leaving.
"Miss Xu." Suddenly, a wine glass was handed to him.
When I looked up, it was Vince. "What's the matter?" Cheering up, Xu Jingjing looked at him coldly.
