Chapter 54: Be sure to capture her (please read it!)
"Welcome, Professor Yulei."
The living room on the first floor of the villa is very bright and spacious.
The decoration inside is also very luxurious.
A middle-aged blond man with a mustache got up from the sofa. He came to Mrs. Yulei, took her hand gracefully, and kissed the back of her fingers.
At this time, two women, one large and one small, approached next to them. They were Mrs. Pompeii and her daughter Rebecca.
Rebecca is in a wheelchair, being pushed by Madame Pompeii.
"Good morning, Mrs. Yulei."
They met Mrs. Yule face to face and greeted each other in a friendly manner.
"Good morning, His Excellency Viscount Pompeii, the beautiful Lady Pompeii and the lovely Miss Rebecca."
Mrs. Ulay responded politely.
Viscount Pompeii turned to look at the young man beside her.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, Your Excellency Viscount, this is Mr. Jack, a good friend of mine..."
Madame Ulay began to introduce Viscount Pompeii.
During this period, Rebecca, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was secretly looking at Chen Lun.
"He's so good-looking..."
She thought to herself, blinking her moist eyes and fluttering her long eyelashes.
"Better looking than those other young nobles."
After Mrs. Ulay gave a brief introduction, Viscount Pompeii nodded slightly.
"Welcome to Pompeii Manor, Mr. Jack."
he said, holding out his hand.
Viscount Pompeii's voice was very calm, without any pretense or enthusiasm.
"Since you are a friend of Mrs. Yulei, you must attend the breakfast banquet later."
"It is my pleasure, Mr. Viscount."
Chen Lun shook hands with him with a polite smile on his face.
But a trace of solemnity in his eyes fleetingly disappeared, and he glanced at a ring on the Viscount's ring finger without leaving any trace.
Viscount Pompeii nodded, quickly released his hand, and gestured to Butler Binoz.
"How about we chat while we eat?"
"As you please, Mr. Viscount."
The old butler Binoz understood this and called the maid to prepare for the breakfast.
Some maids went to the back kitchen to inform the cook, and some maids started decorating the restaurant. Everything was in order.
When everyone was seated and before the meal was served, Mrs. Pompeii said:
"Mrs. Ule, Rebecca's study in the next few months will be left to you."
"I haven't had time to explain it to you, Madam Pompeii."
Mrs. Ulay had already taken off her wide-brimmed hat and handed it to the maid. She adjusted her hair and looked apologetic.
"Please forgive me, I haven't been feeling well lately. I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this job..."
Madame Pompeii and the Viscount looked at each other, and both saw a trace of confusion on each other's faces.
If that were the case, Mrs. Yulei would not be able to accept the invitation.
Viscount Pompeii frowned slightly.
As far as he knew, Mrs. Yulei was in good health, so what she said now was obviously an excuse.
"For this purpose, I found Mr. Jack. He is not only my good friend, but also a scholar I admire...
Mr. Jack has just arrived in Amber City not long ago, but there is no doubt about his ability. ”
Mrs. Ule said, smiling.
"He happens to be good at literature, history and nature, so he is the perfect candidate to serve as Miss Rebecca's tutor."
Rebecca's eyes lit up when she heard her words.
But the Viscount Pompeii and his wife suddenly lost their expressions.
The Viscount looked at the young people at the table and said bluntly:
"I have seen many young people who are eloquent and can talk about everything, but in reality they are idiots in action."
His words were no longer tactful, and both Mrs. Youlai and Chen Lun could hear the distrust in them.
"I don't think this is appropriate, Mrs. Yulei."
It wasn't that Mrs. Pompeii couldn't believe Chen Lun's talent, but what she was more concerned about was that this was a young man.
If he is allowed to serve as Rebecca's tutor, it will inevitably affect his daughter's reputation. And he was so handsome, which was a red flag for Rebecca.
Facing the resistance of Viscount Pompeii and his wife, Chen Lun's expression remained unchanged and he still had a smile.
He glanced at the diamond-encrusted gold ring on the Viscount Pompeii's hand.
"That ring... is a spiritual protection [trick], it's going to be difficult now."
Without the ability to use [Siren Song] for hypnosis, it would be very difficult to convince Viscount Pompeii with eloquence alone.
While she was secretly thinking about countermeasures, Rebecca said:
"Let this gentleman try it, Mom and Dad."
She sat upright like a lady, holding Madam Pompeii's arm coquettishly.
"I'm also eager to learn. It's too boring to stay at home."
"But, Rebecca..."
Madame Pompeii showed a hint of embarrassment.
But looking at her daughter's cute face and pitiful look, she finally relented.
"Okay... let this gentleman try it."
She glanced at her husband, who curled his lips.
Just at this time, the maid brought the breakfast, and the butler Binoz opened the lid.
Viscount Pompeii put the tablecloth on his chest, picked up the knife and fork, and prepared to eat a steak.
"In that case, after the breakfast banquet, Mr. Jack will give Rebecca the first lesson."
He said something nonchalantly.
But I made up my mind that after today is over, this guy won't be here tomorrow.
Noble etiquette must be in place and Mrs. Yulei's face cannot be ruined on the spot.
The breakfast banquet at the Viscount's house was sumptuous and the dishes were very high-end. Everyone ate like a happy guest and host.
After the breakfast banquet was over, Mrs. Yulei said goodbye and left.
Perhaps because he was worried about his daughter being alone in a room with a strange man, Chen Lun was arranged to teach Rebecca in the garden.
There is a large parasol on the lawn, with pure white carved wooden tables and chairs placed underneath.
Chen Lun sat opposite Rebecca, holding a copy of "Cui Suer Literary Anthology" in his hand and telling the story according to the script.
He looked over the book in his hand and saw Viscount Pompeii walking in the garden with his wife. The two of them glanced at each other from time to time, fearing that they would do anything that exceeded the rules.
"Mr. Jack, where are you from?"
Rebecca obviously wasn't listening, but asked curiously.
Butler Binoz, with his hands behind his back, was standing not far away from the two of them, performing the mission of "supervision".
"Ahem, my hometown is in the distant bronze city of Peacock City in Yan State...
Miss Rebecca, please take your classes seriously first, otherwise I may not be able to teach you tomorrow. ”
Chen Lun showed a smile, and Rebecca's eyes suddenly opened wide.
The sun shone down, shining on the face of the black-haired young man.
She couldn't help but blush.
"No, I will tell my father that you taught me well..."
Old housekeeper Binoz on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Are you pretending he doesn't exist?
He despised Chen Lun more and more in his heart. Just now he read the textbook verbatim. How could he be a scholar at this level?
If you look for anyone on the road who is slightly literate, you can do better than him!
"Miss Rebecca, what do you think of literature?"
Chen Lun withdrew his attention from Viscount Pompeii and his wife and asked Rebecca softly.
He made up his mind to start with this girl.
Be sure to take her down! (End of chapter)
