Chapter 43: Support from Uncle (1)

"Uncle, where are we going?"

Zhang Jiao looked at the backward scenery outside the window, but it didn't look like the road back to the middle of the mountain.

Nordin looked sideways at her, "Go to Uncle." I'm going to have a big party tonight, honey, will you come with me in the evening? ”

Zhang Jiao was a little reluctant, it was not fun to participate in the banquet at all, and she was very restrained, she didn't like that kind of fake and polite conversation.

Seeing that she pursed her lips and did not speak, Nordin knew her thoughts. But the reason why he held this banquet was for ulterior motives.

"Just this one, okay? Elena? ”

He can no longer accept that Elena has been wronged in a place he can't see, and Elena is unwilling to follow him back to country Y, so he can only find a way to let everyone know her, know the energy behind her, and dare not hurt her.

"Elena, you don't know how panicked I was when I heard that someone was hurting you. I'm about to suffocate with fear, don't let me be so scared anymore, okay? ”

God knows how fast his heart was beating when he got the call. At that time, he regretted incomparably why he didn't lead Elena to the public according to her idea.

If outsiders knew Elena's identity, would they have some scruples before making a move?

With this in mind, Nordin planned the banquet.

Nordin looked at Elena pleadingly, hoping that she would agree to her willingness.

Zhang Jiao only came into contact with his sight, and quickly turned her head as if she was burned by the firelight.

She struggled in her heart, her uncle's pleading eyes appeared in her mind for a while, and the low-key leisurely life flashed in her mind for a while, and finally she nodded tremblingly, "I know, uncle." I'm with you in the evening. ”

She likes the low-key and undisturbed salted fish life, but she can compromise for her uncle once.

Nordin smiled lightly, "Great, Elena, you are destined to be a radiant little princess tonight!" ”

Zhang Jiao smiled, she was just her uncle's little princess.

Nording had already bought a property in Port City, near Zhang Jiao's Repulse Bay mansion. He took a steamer from the shore of the Repulse Bay pier last night and returned directly to the Repulse Bay villa.

And the banquet that will be held today is also held in his villa.

Before arriving in the port city, Nordin had already sent invitations to the famous people in the port city by telegram in advance, and all kinds of preparations were ready.

At this moment, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

As soon as the important people appear, everything can go as smoothly as Nordin intended.

Zhang Jiao sat upstairs in her room, quietly watching the makeup artist take a brush to decorate her face.

Layer after layer, comparable to pasting a wall. Zhang Jiao felt as if she was wearing a stiff mask on her face, and she couldn't breathe.

The work went on for a while before the makeup artist finally gave up, but the process wasn't over.

The costumer pushed rows of hangers full of dresses through the door, and Zhang Jiao casually raised her eyes to see the dresses parked behind her in the mirror.

Eyes wide, oh my! What did she see!

Piles of tufts!

It almost made her dream go back to the day she attended the Gu family's engagement banquet, wasn't Gu Yao wearing a similar puffy skirt?

She also gave Gu Yao a nickname, "Miss Puffy Skirt".

Zhang Jiao's mouth opened, and it took a long time to find her voice, "Who chose this?" Why are they all tufts? Don't have any other options? ”

Zhang Jiao actually knew whose idea it was, but she still struggled.

Sure enough, the costumer replied, "It's Mr. Nordin." ”

Zhang Jiao repeated her question, "Is there any other choice?" "Isn't there anything simpler? Zhang Jiao really didn't want to wear a puffy skirt.

Because the puffy skirt at this time is a bit cumbersome, most of them need to wear skirt supports, or just put on countless layers of inner lining, which is too tiring.

It's like putting on a shackle.

The costumer bit her lip in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, miss. Mr. Nordin's expression only asks for a tutu skirt, and the rest of the style is ......"

Zhang Jiao understood, but she didn't bring anything else.

The scene was at a stalemate.

At this moment, Lady Anne, the housekeeper of the house, came in with a red velvet box.

"What's going on? My dear. ”

Mrs. Anne put the velvet box on the dresser and asked Zhang Jiao, who was not very good-looking.

"Lady Anne, you know what? My uncle actually arranged a bunch of puffy skirts for me! ”

Yes, again!

This is not the first time, since she was a child, her uncle has always been keen to dress his dear niece in tutu.

But this rebellious niece was too lazy to appreciate the beauty of the puffy skirt.

There is some resistance to this costume.

Lady Anne waved her hand and asked the makeup artist and costume artist to go out.

Only then did he turn around and hold Zhang Jiao's delicate little face, "Honey, don't be angry, Mr. Nordin just doesn't know much about your thoughts." He thought that all the ladies and ladies of the world liked this kind of dress! ”

"You can tell him what you think, so he doesn't continue to do this kind of thing that annoys you. But now, can I ask the beautiful Miss Elena for a moment? ”

Of course Zhang Jiao understands this truth, she is just a little unhappy for a while. She nodded, "I see, Lady Anne." ”

Forget it, let's do it this time!

When I meet my uncle, I must tell him not to prepare such a complicated tutu for her in the future.

Seeing that she had figured it out, Lady Anne smiled and opened the velvet box she had brought. "Dear Miss Elena, look!"

She held the box and sent it to Zhang Jiao.

The moment Zhang Jiao saw it clearly, she was captured by the delicate and luxurious crown inside.

"Oh my God! It's so beautiful! ”

Lying in the box is a wreath of flowers, a rose of several vines entwined with arch guards, inlaid with countless diamonds, and a blue diamond as the center stone in the center.

"For the sake of such a beautiful flower crown, please forgive your uncle who has a bit of an ego."

Lady Anne put the crown on Zhang Jiao's head, took her shoulders and turned her to the mirror, "Look, what a beautiful young lady! ”

"This is a blue diamond that Mr. Nordin bought in the summer, and he said he would use it to make you the most gorgeous crown and make you the happiest princess."

Zhang Jiao smiled at the mirror, and her uncle always had a way to make her happy.

She said, "Then let's pick a blue tutu to match it!" ”

Lady Anne smiled softly and fixed the flower crown for her, "Of course it's the best." ”

She walked over to the hanger, her eyes swept over the elaborate gowns, and finally pulled out a navy blue tutu with a heart neck.

"How's this one?" Mrs. Anne asked Zhang Jiao's opinion.

Zhang Jiao looked back and clapped directly, "Just it, it's beautiful." "The most important thing is that it doesn't have that many layers.

Her careful thoughts were revealed in her eyes, and Lady Anne smiled and nodded, not piercing her disguise.

"Then let's put on the petticoat first!"

Zhang Jiao wailed in her heart, and couldn't help but comfort herself, come on, all for beauty!

Just one night, she could, OK!

With the help of Lady Anne, she put on her tights, and then put on her petticoat, and then she had to put on the most important skirts, and finally she could wear the beautiful navy-blue tutu.

After everything was dressed, Zhang Jiao only felt that she had weighed more than a dozen pounds in an instant.

Lady Anne couldn't help laughing, "My dear, this is already an improved model, you must know that the skirts worn by the ladies and ladies in the past are much heavier than this." ”

Zhang Jiao's heavy chin, so the progress of the times is in all aspects.

It is convenient for those who come after them.

"Knock-" Someone knocked on the door.

It was probably a reminder to them that it was time to go downstairs.

Lady Anne looked sideways at Zhang Jiao, "Dear Miss Elena, are you ready?" ”

The man outside the door was none other than Notting.

He knocked on the door twice before he said, "Elena, are you ready?" The guests have arrived. ”

Zhang Jiao looked at Mrs. Anne in a daze, and nodded subconsciously in her approving gaze.

Lady Anne was amused by her lovely appearance.

Zhang Jiao woke up under Mrs. Anne's ridiculous eyes, and replied loudly, "Uncle, I'm already fine, I'll come out." ”

Lady Anne hurried forward to open the door for her.

Zhang Jiao met her uncle's admiring eyes so straight, she smiled and lifted her skirt and walked towards him.
