14. Chapter XIV

As the weekend passed, and on the day of the grade prom, only Via was absent from the entire Roy School.

The next day at school, Jenny described the dance to her, "The students at Elon Middle School are different, they are all elegant and radiant, compared to them, Thomas and I are really dirty." ”

"We're not that bad, at least I think I'm pretty handsome in a dress," Thomas said seriously, "but you, I'm not going to say anything." ”

Jenny glared at him.

Via couldn't help laughing, Jenny's dance partner was Thomas, Thomas said he wasn't interested, but Jenny didn't obediently accompany her with a look.

At this time, Vanessa walked in through the front door with her bag, and she was really in high spirits with wind on her feet.

Jenny muttered, "Isn't it just to be the dance partner of Kellan Hills, and I'm going to be dragged to the sky." ”

Vanessa heard Jenny's words, but she squinted at Via, and there was a hint of showing off in her eyes.

"But I always felt that Kellan Hills was absent-minded last night, probably disgusted with Vanessa," Jainny snickered, "his eyes wandered around, he must be looking for someone," Jenny patted Thomas on the shoulder, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm not gay, I'm keeping an eye on him."

Via couldn't help but laugh.

Not going to the prom didn't have any effect on Via, because since she went to school, she had a fulfilling daily life, listening carefully in class, chatting with Jenny and Thomas between classes, practicing the piano in the afternoon, and helping Manina with housework when she got home in the evening, and her schedule was full.

Because of Wei Ya's hard work, not only Teacher Mary, but also other teachers also had a good impression of her. Her cousin naturally reached the principal, and Mr. Luca no longer believed her past files, after all, the archives did not rule out the possibility of a personal vendetta from the teacher's communiquΓ©.

Compared with Via's low-key, Vanessa is full of limelight and is more popular with the teachers.

Shortly after the grade prom, Vanessa hosted a party at her house, and Vanessa invited the class and all the teachers, as well as Via. To be precise, it was Lilia who called Manina and asked her to bring her son and adopted daughter to participate in the pie.

Manina wanted to refuse at first.

But Lilia said on the phone, "Staying in such a remote place, I still have to go out and walk around occasionally to socialize, so as not to hold back my illness." ”

Manina couldn't stand the challenge, so she showed up at Lilia's house that night with Via and Dick.

The banquet took place in the backyard of the tailor's shop, and that building belonged to Vanessa's house.

Tables and chairs are placed in the flower-filled courtyard, as well as barbecue boxes, and a long dining table covered with white cloth is neatly arranged with a variety of delicious food.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people in the courtyard, and at the center of the crowd was a middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a black suit, a mustache, his hair combed back to his head, his chin held high, but with an approachable smile on his face,

Via guesses that he is Vanessa's father, Mayor Warnard Dyer.

Sure enough, Lilia grabbed the man's arm and walked towards them with a smile.

"Why didn't you see John?" Lilia said.

"There's always one person left in the house. ”

Lilia regretted, "That's how you do farm work, you can't leave. ”

Mayor Warnard also extended his hand to Manina at the right time, "Long time no see, Manina." ”

Manina reluctantly shook his hand.

Letting go of his hand, Werner put his hand on Dick's shoulder again, "It's sturdy, lad." ”

Dick tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled perfunctorily.

Wernard finally set his eyes on Via, and in the official polite words, "Hello, kid, welcome to us, I hope you can be friends with Vanessa." ”

Via could only smile politely, she didn't think Vanessa wanted to be her friend.

Just as she thought of Vanessa, she saw her. Vanessa was standing with a tall beauty who looked a few years older than her, beautiful, with curly orange hair and big blue eyes, like a doll.

The beautiful woman noticed Via's eyes, turned her head to look, and after a while, walked towards them. Via's nervousness was for a while, thinking that she had offended the beauty by being rude, but the beauty didn't even look at her and walked past her, and then Via's voice heard the beauty say in a sweet voice,

"Hi, Dick."

Facing the beauty, Dick only nodded faintly, "Why are you back?" ”

"The academy didn't have classes this week, so I went home with nothing to do."

Dick sighed, but did not speak again, and the atmosphere was very cold.

Wei Ya was surprised how Dick, who could speak well, did not give face to the beauty so much, and clearly did not want to deal with the other party.

The beauty didn't seem to feel Dick's coldness, and her eyes swept over Via next to her, "She's your cousin?" ”

"Why do you knowingly ask and have nothing to say?" Dick's tone was rather unceremonious.

The beauty's face was a little ugly, but she pretended to smile indifferently at Via, "I'm Laura, your brother's ex-girlfriend." ”

Via was dumbfounded.

"Oh, hello."

She didn't know what to say except hello, looked at Dick cautiously, and then shut her mouth.

"I thought we could still be friends," Laura, the Belle spoke to Dick again.

Dick quipped, "I don't think I have the privilege of being your friend." ”

With that, Dikla grabbed Via's wrist and walked to the other side, and Via turned around to see Laura's eyes still glued to Dick.

Viagra stood in the corner, watching Dick drink in silence, she couldn't hold back for a while, and said, "When people are young, there will always be an unforgettable relationship"

Before he could finish speaking, Dick squirted out the wine and coughed with laughter, "Who told you and me that I had some shitty and unforgettable love affair with her?" ”

Via was dumbfounded, "Don't you still like her?"

Dick scoffed, "I wouldn't like her even if there was only one woman left in the world, she's a"

Dick didn't reserve telling the story of him and Laura to Via, Laura was indeed Dick's girlfriend in high school, they were both studying in Roy Middle School, at that time Dick was also a man of the year because he formed a band with his friends, Laura was equivalent to the school flower, and the two were a good match, but then Laura transferred to Elon Middle School, and with Dick on her back, she found a rich and handsome new boyfriend, and she dumped Dick without hesitation.

What makes Dick haunt is what Laura said to him when they parted, "I don't want to be a farmer's wife, I don't want to live on an empty pasture for the rest of my life." ”

Laura was admitted to the University of Zurich to study accounting. And Laura and Vanessa are relatives, Laura is the niece of Mayor Warnerd, and her parents own the largest B&B hotel in Bryenz town. Every tourist season, her family can earn a lot of money.

This world is really realistic, Dick dislikes Theo as a worthless ranger, Laura dislikes Dick as the son of a rancher, and there must be someone who dislikes Laura as the daughter of a small businessman.

"Leave me alone, and talk to your friends," Dick pointed to Jenny and Thomas, who looked over here from time to time.

Knowing that Dick still had a knot, Via wanted to be quiet and not disturb him, and walked towards Jenny and Thomas.

Jenny's plump size is directly related to her being a foodie, she has been holding a plate and eating snacks, Via approached, and Jenny also gave her a plate full of snacks.

Via took the plate and stuffed a piece of honey cake into her mouth.

Thomas said, "So you're De Clavitt's sister. ”

"You all know Dick?"

Jenny nodded, "Yes, in the past, their band would participate in the New Year's show in the town," the so-called New Year's show is a show for the people in the town to entertain themselves on New Year's Day.

"He's still pretty handsome on stage, well, he's really not particular about it now," Jenny said, referring to what Dick was wearing now, a simple sweater and jeans.

Viagra suddenly understood why Dick didn't want to talk more about his dreams in the first place.

Soon, though, the conversation shifted from Dick to Vanessa, and Janice would never stop picking on Vanessa's thorns, "I heard that Vanessa had invited Kailan Hills here, but she was politely refused, hahaha," Janice laughed.

Thomas looked around, embarrassed by Jenny's demonic laughter, "Don't laugh, don't you see everyone else looking at us?" ”

Jenny finally stopped laughing, "But to be honest, Vanessa's family is really rich, and there are two parties in three days, last month's birthday party, last month's harvest festival, and this month's inexplicable party, there is no one in the town who has not participated in her family's party." ”

Thomas lowered his voice and said, "That's why his father can sit firmly in the position of mayor, is this called winning people's hearts?" It is now clear that a general election will be held in the second half of next year. ”

After listening to Thomas's analysis, Via understood the twists and turns, Thomas was obviously keen on this kind of political issue, and continued, "This year's competition is particularly fierce, the village chief of each village is qualified to run for the mayor of the town, they are all candidates, and some village chiefs are very good and dutiful, for example, the village chief of Weiya Village Philip is the biggest contender for the mayor of Warnerd. ”

Don't blame Via, she thinks Mr. Philip has the temperament of a mayor more than this big fat man, "Can we vote?" Via asked.

"Of course, anyone over the age of 16 can vote."

Viale decided that when it came time to vote for Mr. Philip.

But at this time, she was still too naΓ―ve and thought things too simply.
