Chapter 90 Rebecca’s Birthday Dinner-Part 1
The next evening.
The Pompeii estate was bustling with activity.
There were various carriages parked at the door, and the carriages were also painted with various patterns, some of them were noble family emblems, some were company trademarks, and there was also a silver faucet that Chen Lun was familiar with.
Chen Lun got off the carriage, turned around and took the hands of Floy and Connie, and picked them up.
The three of us tonight were all dressed up.
Floy wore a black and purple evening dress, revealing her slender white swan-like neck and beautiful collarbones. She wore the same black and purple tie on her head, and her long pale golden hair cascaded down her back, giving her an overall deep beauty.
Connie was wearing a light yellow dress and a red paisley shawl. Her hair was deliberately tied up with a plaid tie, making her look youthful.
Neither of them had ever worn such evening gowns before, and they seemed a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Chen Lun was with them, and his calm demeanor made them feel at ease.
"Good night, Mr. Jack, and two beautiful ladies."
Binoz stood in front of the gate to receive guests.
"Please come in."
He caressed his chest respectfully and saluted, and then led him to the door.
Chen Lun and his party walked through the manor's paths and strolled slowly to the front of the villa.
The Viscount Pompeii and his wife were chatting with several other guests. After seeing Chen Lun's arrival, the Viscount quickly interrupted the conversation and then came to Chen Lun.
"Mr. Jack, welcome to Rebecca's birthday dinner."
"It's my pleasure."
Chen Lun shook hands with the Viscount, and Floy and Connie followed suit.
Then Viscount Pompeii personally led Chen Lun and the others into the villa gate.
The guests on the side were all surprised. They didn't know who the black-haired young man was, so he was treated so politely by His Excellency Viscount Pompeii.
Viscount Pompeii led Chen Lun to the lively living room.
The long dining table was filled with a variety of high-end dishes. The maids were busy weaving among the crowd, with fine wines on the trays for guests to help themselves to.
The men chatted and laughed loudly, while the women gathered around, enjoying desserts or chatting quietly. When he talks about funny things, he covers his face with feather fans of various colors and giggles.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Councilor Lawson of the Amber City Council, and next to him is his nephew, Mr. Alvin."
said Viscount Pompeii.
There were two men standing in front of Chen Lun, one middle-aged and one young.
The viscount introduced Chen Lun and his party to the other party.
"Hello, young scholar."
Senator Lawson has curly brown hair and a deep voice.
He shook hands with Chen Lun politely, then looked past Chen Lun and saw something, and said sorry to the Viscount. Then with a smile on his face, he walked towards a man and a woman.
"It was Countess Bradley and Mr. Beckmann who came...Mr. Beckmann is a gallery owner who sponsors many talented young people."
Viscount Pompeii introduced Chen Lun softly.
"Mr. Jack, I will go over to receive you first. Please wait a moment."
Chen Lun nodded to show understanding.
Following the Viscount's footsteps, he saw a richly dressed lady leaning against the man next to her like a bird. The man had a mustache, a white suit and a white straw hat.
Chen Lun thought of the information he heard at the mysterious association that night.
The countess and her lover...
"Are you Miss Rebecca's governess?"
A young man named Alvin spoke up, drawing Chen Lun's attention back.
"Yes, Mr. Alvin."
Chen Lun showed a polite smile.
Alvin smiled softly, picked up a glass of wine from the passing maid, took a sip and then smacked his mouth.
"How can a tutor attend such a party... Well, with all due respect, you are not qualified."
He shrugged innocently.
"It may be hurtful to say this, but it is the truth...and the young lady next to you seems to have never been to such an occasion, and she looks like a country girl."
Alvin was referring to Connie.
After Connie heard what he said, she clenched the hem of her skirt tightly with her little hands, a look of shame on her face. She felt sad, but couldn't refute it.
Immediately, a feeling of inferiority arose in my heart.
"But this lady is very special..."
Alvin stretched out his hand to Floy and showed a gentleman's smile.
"May I ask your name? There will be a dance later, maybe we can dance a waltz..."
"That's very rude of you, Mr. Alvin."
Chen Lun said.
Alvin glanced at him, indifferent, waiting for Floy to take off his gloves and let him kiss the back of his fingers.
He believes that with his status, the other party will not deny him face.
It was rare to meet such a beautiful girl, which made Alvin feel a little moved.
"Sorry sir, you stink too much."
said Floy's disembodied voice.
Alvin's expression froze and his mouth opened slightly.
"You said...what? Smells?"
He raised his hand to smell himself, but all he could smell was the perfume he sprayed before going out.
Connie chuckled.
Alvin immediately turned cold and realized that he had been tricked.
"You...!"
"Mr. Alvin, I would like you to apologize to Connie."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
Alvin was about to sneer, but the next second he saw the black-haired young man's expression became extremely cold.
——Those eyes looked at him like a dead person, which made him very uncomfortable.
"Apologise."
A cold voice reached his ears, and a faint light flashed through.
boom!
In Alvin's sight, the entire banquet hall disappeared, replaced by a boundless sea of blood, and he was standing alone on the sea.
A giant golden python suddenly appeared at the end of the front, bathed in blood.
He was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he looked in horror at the giant python that covered the sky and opened its bloody mouth towards him.
boom! !
Alvin felt like his whole body was torn apart, severe pain hit his nerves, and only the remaining head sank to the bottom of the sea.
His vision was scarlet.
His mouth and nose were filled with thick plasma, which was so fishy that he suffocated!
"Uh... Phew!"
Alvin suddenly came back to his senses, gasping for air like a fish out of water, his face was pale and he was covered in sweat.
The black-haired young man in front of him returned to his polite smile, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
"What's wrong with you? Mr. Alvin?"
The other party reached out his hand with concern, wanting to give him a hand.
Alvin trembled as if he was electrocuted and took a few steps back. He stumbled and accidentally fell to the ground. The wine glass in his hand was not held firmly, and the drink poured on him.
"Don't... don't come over! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, miss, I'm rude!"
Alvin felt extreme fear in his heart and did not dare to look directly at the black-haired young man. After bowing and apologizing, he got up and left in embarrassment.
"Thank you, Mr. Jack."
Connie seemed to have guessed something and said to Chen Lun.
She showed gratitude in her eyes, enjoying the feeling of being protected by Mr. Jack.
"Don't feel inferior about this, Connie, you will become the most dazzling creator in the future."
Chen Lun said softly.
"These nobles are not even qualified to carry your shoes."
Connie nodded excitedly and hummed.
Floy smiled slightly and remained silent about it.
