Chapter 157: Uninvited Guest
Sneaking a glance at Ou Yan, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Xu Ningning's reaction, Su Yunuan took it into his eyes without a trace, but he didn't say a word.
The fate between people is always so wonderful, or, in the dark, a qiē has already been arranged.
"Xiao Nuan, let me ask you a question, I hope you don't get angry." Coming out of Ou Yan's room, Xu Jingjing decided to say the question in his heart.
Su Yunuan looked at her hesitantly, and said with a smile: "Ask, I'm not so stingy." ”
These days together, although the time is short, but they already have a trustworthy friendship between them.
"That's it...... I want to ask you, are you and Ou Yan...... Is it really a brother and sister? ”
This question made Su Yunuan unexpected, and he hesitated for a long time, but in fact, there was nothing that he couldn't say.
"We are half-brothers and sisters. My mom didn't get along with my dad and died after giving birth to me. ”
And that embarrassing thing, Su Yunuan still didn't say it, if Xu Jingning and Ou Yan really had a fate to come together, then let that matter be sealed in the dust.
The next day, when Xu Jing and the others had finished lunch, a servant came in and told him that Count Moss and his party were on their way to the castle and hoped that she would go out to greet them.
Hearing this news, Xu Jingning instantly lost her appetite, threw the napple on her lap on the table, and sneered. "Greeting? This is a new one, and it seems that today is a big battle. ”
In the past, they always came when they wanted, but today they made an exception to call in advance and let themselves go out to meet them?
This group of uncles and uncles are full and have nothing to do, right? It really affects the mood!
Ou Yan glanced at her, took a sip of porridge, and asked casually, "They will attack her unprepared, so you won't be surprised?" ”
"I know what to do, just complain in front of you." Xu Jingjing picked up the tableware again, since they wanted to find themselves unhappy, why should they do what they wanted?
"Don't relax for a moment, no matter who you're in front of."
"I know, Mr. Ou!"
"Poof!" Su Yunuan suddenly squirted out a mouthful of water, "Ahem, that ...... You go on and say, it's okay. He smirked twice, and quickly picked up a napkcloth to wipe his watery face.
Ou Yan, who barely spoke, gradually developed in the direction of chatter after meeting Xu Ningning. This discovery made Su Yunuan not know whether it was better to be sad or happy.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Ningning, with a few servants, waited outside the gate of the castle in an orderly manner.
Two Rolls-Royces stopped in front of the gate, the first to come down were the Count of Moss and his bodyguards, and then Puning and his eight-year-old son Beru.
"Jane!" As soon as he saw Xu Ningning, Beilu pounced excitedly.
Catching him with difficulty, Xu Ningning was a little speechless, she really couldn't understand why this little boy who had only met three times today liked to stick to himself so much.
Rubbing Beilu's small golden curls, Xu Jingning put him down, smiled at the visitor, and greeted politely.
"Good afternoon, Count Moss, Viscount Autrand, Mr. Puning."
Compared with the previous times I saw her like a lion cub with her teeth and claws, Xu Ningning now looks a little bit like a celebrity lady.
Moss nodded in satisfaction, and then led the group into the castle, while Xu Ningning politely followed behind the elders, walking side by side with Otrang.
"I'm really surprised, you're not usually so gentle." Otterlang resisted the urge to whistle and said to Xu Jingjing in a flirtatious tone.
"yes, that just means you don't know me very well." The corners of Xu Ningning's mouth hung with a charming arc, and he lowered his gaze with a smile, as if he was very useful for Aotran's praise.
This kind of Xu Tranquility is really good-looking, and Otrang couldn't help but take a few more looks.
It happened that Count Moss was asking Otterlang what to say, and seeing that there was no response for a long time, he turned his head to take a look, just in time to see Otterlang staring at Xu Ningning.
"Bastard thing! What are you looking at! Count Moss slapped him on the head in anger.
Altran cried out in pain, covered his head, and yelled angrily at his father, "Why are you hitting me if you have nothing to do!" ”
Xu Jingjing forcibly held back the smile in his heart, with a hesitant look on his face, stepped forward, and whispered: "Mr. Earl, Mr. Viscount is asking me how the castle steward's injury is, he feels that he went too far yesterday, so he is apologizing to me." ”
Both father and son were stunned, they didn't expect Xu Jingning to directly bring up yesterday's incident in this way.
"That's right, I just wanted to ask how the housekeeper was, and by the way, my sister apologized." Going down the steps given by Xu Ningning, it's better than telling the truth that he is looking at Xu Ningning, right? Autran covered his head, looking aggrieved.
"Mr. Earl, since it was just a minor misunderstanding, it would be good to make it clear. Let's get in quickly. Puning stood up as a peacemaker, looking like he was thinking about the overall situation.
"Let's go." Moss gave Autran a hard look, turned and moved on.
"Jing, why didn't you see your Chinese friend?" Puning looked around and asked, seemingly unintentionally.
Xu Jingjing looked at him suspiciously, "How do you know about them?" ”
Pu Ning was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly twice, and said, "Naturally, Mr. Viscount said it." With that, he closed his mouth.
"Why don't you invite them to dinner together, just so that we can get to know each other." Moss looked back.
"That's ...... May I? Xu Jingjing hesitated.
"Of course, since we're your friends, it's okay if we get to know each other, right? It can also help you see if these people are worth it. Moss said that he himself was like a loving elder worried that his younger generation would make a bad friend by mistake, and his serious appearance made Xu Ningning feel sick to his stomach.
Fortunately, Ou Yan had explained in advance, if these people wanted to see their brothers and sisters, it would be good to agree. "Then I'll have the servants go and invite them over."
In the living room, Moss sat directly in the master's position as soon as he entered the door, and Xu Jingning had no objection to this, after all, he was an earl.
The group sat down one by one, Xu Ningning's butt was just next to the stool, and the little guy Beilu came to her again. "Jane, I'm going to sit with you."
"I've said it many times, it's quiet, not Jane!" Xu Jingning felt that her head was too big, and she really didn't see that she was so attractive to children.
Beru bit his finger and muttered, "Is there a difference?" Simple? ”
The other party is a native British kid and can't ask for too much. Xu Jingjing smiled helplessly, "Whatever you want, love is what it is." ”
Moss glanced at Pu Ning meaningfully, and Pu Ning couldn't help but feel nervous. "Beru, come here and sit down, you can't be so unruly."
"What are you here for?" Xu Jingjing carefully put Beilu down, and then looked at Moss with a smile.
It's only been a few days since the last visit, and these people can't wait?
"How's Steward Panson?" Moss did not directly answer Xu Ningning's question, but asked about Pan Sen's situation.
He really had the face to ask, Xu Jingjing secretly clenched his fists, and the smile on his face became more and more polite, "Thank you, Mr. Earl, for your concern, I just broke a rib, and I will be discharged from the hospital after a while." ”
The more she spoke, the stronger the hatred in her heart.
"Ottran is a little ruthless, so let's let Panson recuperate in the hospital, and the medical expenses will be borne by Autran."
Taking a sip of fragrant black tea, Moss said lightly.
It's clear that they've done something wrong, but they still look like saviors. These people don't take Pan Sen seriously at all, they are afraid that they are just inferior people who are temporarily threatening in their eyes.
Xu Jingjing took a deep breath to ensure that his mood was calm. "Then thank you Viscount in advance, Steward Pan Sen still has more than half a year to stay in the hospital, so please ask Mr. Viscount to take care of it more."
She won't be polite, according to her temperament, she can't wait for Otlang to be admitted to the hospital.
Ottrand paused with his cup in his hand, and nodded reluctantly when he heard Moss's warning cough.
Moss had a satisfied look on his face, and then said, "Steward Panson has worked in the castle for so many years, and this time he has been injured so badly, so it's better to let him rest for a year." It's just that the castle is so big, you can't do it without a butler. ”
When Xu Jingjing heard this, she secretly screamed, "It's not good."
Sure enough, Moss pointed to a man sitting in the corner, and then continued: "Leng An is an excellent graduate of the Butler Academy, and he is also Chinese, I think he can temporarily take over the position of Steward Panson and take care of things inside and outside the castle." ”
After Moss finished speaking, the man named Leng An stood up, bowed to Xu Jingning, and said in Chinese: "Miss Xu, hello." I'm Leng An. ”
If it weren't for Moss suddenly mentioning this person, Xu Jingning wouldn't have noticed the man sitting in the corner at all, she looked at this humble man, and when he raised his head, Xu Ningning froze, and his breathing seemed to stop.
"Quiet? What are you doing? Seeing that Xu Jingjing was stunned and didn't speak for a long time, Moss asked out loud.
A spirit, Xu Jingjing instantly sobered up. "You...... Hello. ”
"Well, you're okay with this arrangement, right? You can try it out for a while, and if you're not satisfied, it's okay to replace it. Moss was very thoughtful, and Xu Jingjing had no room to refuse.
Just arranging for such a person to come to their side, what are their ideas?
Xu Jingjing smiled lightly and said gratefully: "Mr. Earl has helped me a lot, how can I have an opinion." Leng An, huh? Then you will be the steward of the castle from today until Panson is discharged from the hospital. ”
"I'll do my best to do a good job." Leng An bowed again, and then retreated to where he had been sitting.
"Miss, Mr. Ou and Miss Su are here."
The door was opened, and Ou Yan pushed Su Yunuan and walked in slowly.
