Chapter 196: Engagement
Jenny didn't bother to talk to Jarvis, she just chatted cordially with Jiang Jiang the whole time, and didn't even want to look at him.
But Jarvis didn't care about this obvious cold detachment, his gaze was never on one person.
However, there are still some troubles......
The only person in his eyes was reflected, and his gaze never lingered for him.
It's really unpleasant.
A cold light flashed in Jarvis's warm and affectionate eyes.
He seemed to look at Jiang Jiang calmly, but in fact, he had already begun to faintly swell up in his heart.
"Don't ask me, I don't know."
Jiang Jiang is dedicated to enjoying food, and since she can't change the status quo of being imprisoned at the moment, she can't be too wronged by herself.
Food, you still have to eat it.
Jiang Jiang squinted his eyes pleasantly, and the sweetness and softness of the dessert from the tip of his tongue were simply not too satisfying.
"You don't know?"
Jenny was shocked again, and then finally gave Jarvis a look.
Of course, this look is not very kind.
"Hey, I said you, what's the bad water in your stomach again?"
Jarvis didn't care about Jenny's obvious disgust as if it didn't exist.
He elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and then smiled slowly, "There is indeed one thing I want to tell you, but it is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is a very wonderful good thing." β
"A good thing?" Jenny sneered, very skeptical, "What other good things can be spit out of your mouth?" β
That's a ghost!
"Of course, Miss Lefuss, after all, not everyone is as fragrant as you are."
Jarvis looked at Jenny with a smile.
Jenny, "......"
Why does she always feel that she is being ridiculed, is it her delusion?
She quietly pulled the corner of Jiang Jiang's skirt and whispered, "Honey, I feel like he was scolding me just now." β
Ginger, "......"
That's not really your delusion, my dear.
She patted Jenny's hand and comforted, "No, he's complimenting you on how nice you are." β
"Really?" Jenny wasn't convinced.
"Of course." Jiang Jiang continued to comfort, "My dear, he praised you for speaking nicely, and you can say more in front of him in the future." β
"Makes sense."
Jenny nodded, although she didn't quite understand, but what Jiang Jiang said must be right.
Then she looked at Jarvis again and asked with some disgust, "So, what exactly do you want to say?" β
"It's about me and Jiang Jiang." Jarvis slowly helped Jiang Jiang cut a steak and serve it to her plate.
Then, he stared at Jiang Jiang's eyes with great affection and said with a smile, "It's about us...... Engagement thing. β
Jenny, "......"
Ginger, "......"
WTFοΌοΌοΌοΌ
They looked at Jarvis with confused faces.
Jenny was the first to react, she swallowed in disbelief, then looked at Jarvis with a smile on his face, and poked Jiang Jiang with her elbow.
"Wake up, wake up, why are you more shocked than me."
Can she not be shocked!
Jiang Jiang's eyelids jumped heavily, and it took a long time to slow down this sudden heavy news.
As one of the parties involved, she just found out whether it was good or not! Not at all earlier than you to feed!
"I know it's a bit sudden." Jarvis poured Jiang Jiang another glass of red wine and brought it to her, the smile on his face was happy and tender.
"But that's what we decided half a year ago, isn't it, my dear, and now I just want to get it out there and let everyone know."
"Wait, wait, stop!"
Without waiting for Jiang Jiang to respond, Jenny opened her mouth first and questioned, "Half a year ago? If you're talking about Jiang Jiang pretending to be your fiancΓ©e and helping you cheat on Lady Eleanor...... Isn't that fake, how can it be taken seriously now? β
Jarvis finally gave Jenny a glare away, "Who said it was fake?" β
"Huh?" Jenny was stunned by the question, and said hesitantly, "But...... Isn't it? Isn't that a lie you fabricated to stabilize Lady Eleanor's condition? β
"Jiang Jiang, that's what you told me at the time, right?"
Looking at Jarvis's unwavering expression, Jenny almost suspected that her memory was wrong.
Jiang Jiang lowered his face coldly and said, "It's not that you're wrong, it's him who is wrong." β
Hearing this, Jarvis moved his fingers under the table slightly, and a hint of danger crossed his eyes.
"Didn't we say at the time, I pretended to be your fiancΓ©e to help you appease your aunt, why didn't I know about this, and now it has inexplicably become true?"
"I'm a little distressed by what you say, my dear."
Jarvis sighed helplessly, looking at Jiang Jiang's eyes with pampering and indulgence.
It's as if they are really a couple who have been in love for a long time, and Jiang Jiang likes to lose his temper and always needs him to coax the little children who have not grown up.
Jenny smiled angrily at his words, raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "So the current situation is that you unilaterally want to fake the show?" β
"How can it be said to be unilateral, I believe, my dear, must think so, right?"
Jarvis looked at Jiang Jiang affectionately, and there was a hidden threat in his dark eyes that only the two of them could understand.
Although Jenny couldn't read the message in Jarvis's eyes, she also keenly sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right.
She was very angry and pulled Jiang Jiang up to leave, and said angrily, "Jiang Jiang, don't listen to him talk nonsense, let's go, this kind of person with serious paranoia, let's ignore him!" β
"Wait."
Jiang Jiang grabbed Jenny, there was no anger on his expression, and he was even very calm.
It's as if Jarvis had just been discussing today's weather with her.
"Ginger?" Jenny looked at her in confusion.
Jiang Jiang gave her a reassuring look, and then turned to look at Jarvis, smiling coquettishly.
"I want to know when our engagement banquet is going to take place."
"Jiang Jiang, are you crazy!"
Jenny was so anxious that she grabbed Jiang Jiang, and she didn't care that Jarvis was on the other side, and said, "You don't like him again......"
"Jenny."
Jiang Jiang held Jenny's hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, trust me." β
The words Jenny wanted to say were choked in Jiang Jiang's smile, she looked at Jiang Jiang in silence for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.
"You are always so assertive and assertive, dare to insist on your ideas and follow them through, Jiang Jiang, do you know, this is what I like most about you, you have the courage and determination that a woman dreams of, which makes me admire you very much."
Jenny leaned over and hugged Jiang Jiang gently, lowered her eyes, and said in a complicated tone, "But now, I really damn hate this." β
"Jenny ......"
Jiang Jiang patted her back soothingly, and just as she wanted to open her mouth to comfort her, she was easily opened by Jenny.
"However, since this is your decision, I will respect you." Jenny smiled, shrugged her shoulders seemingly easily, and said, "We're friends, aren't we?" Friends should support each other. β
"You chose to be on my side when I was most difficult, and now it's your turn, and I have no reason not to trust you."
"Jenny ......"
Jiang Jiang's expression was moved, her nose was sour, and she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her gaffe.
How many friends can you get in your life who treat you sincerely?
Although it was not very pleasant to happen in this foreign country, if she had to choose again, she would still be here.
It's worth it to be able to meet a friend like Jenny.
"Well, it's useless to talk too much, you just need to remember that I will always be your most loyal backer here."
Jenny raised her glass, gestured playfully to Jiang Jiang, and then raised her head and drank it all.
Then, she placed her glass on the table, and the smile on her face was replaced by Ling Yan.
"Jarvis, I grew up with you, I know why you are so obsessed with Jiang Jiang, but no matter what hardships you have, this can't be a reason for you to force others."
Jenny paused, her eyes became colder and colder, "For the sake of the friendship between the two families, this is the last time I warn you, if Jiang Jiang is hurt in any way, I will not let you go." β
Jarvis was still unmoved, he just smiled softly and replied slowly, "Trust me, with me, she will be happy." β
"Huh."
Jenny sneered, but felt more and more sad in her heart.
Why did things turn out the way they are......
This wasn't the Jarvis she had known before.
This man ...... What changed it, did that event have such a huge impact on him?
Will she ever see the same Jarvis Anderson she knew again?
Jenny was very uncomfortable, she was afraid that Jarvis would see through her disguise, so she simply looked away and said, "I hope so." β
Jarvis smiled happily before returning his gaze to Jiang Jiang.
From his smile, it is not difficult for anyone to see that this is a man who is about to enter the marriage hall with his beloved woman, extremely happy and extremely lucky.
Jiang Jiang never doubted this, his sincerity to himself was as sincere and strong as a diamond.
But so what?
They are destined to not be able to stay together for the rest of their lives.
"What do you want to say to Jenny today?"
Jiang Jiang rarely accosted him calmly.
But such a simple, calm question was enough to make Jarvis feel heartfelt satisfaction.
The smile on his face relaxed and pleasant, and he replied seriously, "The Lefuss family has a lot of influence in aristocratic circles, so I would like to ask Miss Jenny to help promote my engagement banquet with Jiang Jiang." β
"Isn't it the same with the Andersons?" Jiang Jiang looked at Jarvis in confusion.
"No, it's not quite the same." Jenny shook her head and explained, "Even if they are nobles, they are now doing their own duties, and the Anderson family has always been deeply involved in government affairs, and with the changes of history and the change of power, although they rely on their keen intuition, conform to the development of the times, and attach themselves to those in power, but this has also caused a lot of damage to their reputation. β
"Their status is getting higher, but at the same time, at the cost of it, they are becoming more and more isolated in aristocratic circles."
"The strong who stand on the cusp of the times are always lonely, and my father taught me this when I was very young."
Jarvis seemed unimpressed, even relieved, by the current state of the Anderson family.
