"Although it is my responsibility to inherit the family business, our family is very special. After all, there are so many heirs." Julia pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose. "But please rest assured that although I am determined to devote my life to science, you are the most important, so I will stay at home forever."
Oh, that's quite thoughtful.
Su Yun smiled helplessly: "Since you are going to stay at home, why not set up a divine servant? He can also serve as an assistant to assist you in your research."
"Because I have sworn an oath before His Majesty the King, an assistant is not important to me, and...my God, find a fiancée, is this your order?"
After dropping a big bomb, Julia blinked. Her deep purple eyes were like amethyst that had just been stripped of its stone coat, as if asking, "Are you willing to force me like this, or are you going to drive me away?"
What else could Su Yun do? He could only hold his forehead and say, "Since you have already sworn an oath to the king... When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
"It was the last time the king visited the Academy of Sciences." Julia put her elbows on her knees and supported her chin with one hand. "My mentor was also moved by my ambition."
Su Yun: “…”
Forget it, as long as these silly kids have fun, let them follow their own script.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock at the door of the living room. The old butler had come to the door with a maid. He was dressed meticulously, as if he could charge among the guests at any time.
"Master, Master, the banquet is about to begin."
Julia stood up and said, "Father, let's go."
Su Yun also stood up. He followed Julia out of the reception room. When passing by the old housekeeper, he suddenly asked, "This... isn't she in charge of the young master? Why is she following you?"
The old butler glanced at the maid beside him. The maid lowered her head, looking very respectful.
The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Master, are you talking about Jenny? Jenny is the successor I chose. I think she has the potential to become the next housekeeper after me. Now the young master's nanny is Catherine."
Whether it was Jenny or Catherine, Su Yun had almost no impression of the maids. If Jenny hadn't been refreshing in Alice's baby room at a fixed time, Su Yun would never have asked any more questions.
But since the old housekeeper thinks Jenny can inherit the mantle, then it should be her...
Su Yun nodded, and then said: "The banquet will be held later.
There may be some surprises, the Second Young Master will announce a shocking news."
The old butler was full of vigor and said, "Master, no accident can disrupt our pace!"
Su Yun looked at the old butler's dignified yet kind face, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

The banquet has begun.
Most of the visiting guests brought their families with them. The most beautiful scenery was undoubtedly the unmarried noble ladies. These proud and beautiful girls wore colorful dresses with their skirts swaying in dreamy curves.
The ladies from each family also greeted each other tacitly. They set their sights on the Duke of Syracuse's family. This ancient and noble family had seven sons. What's more interesting was that their age distribution was just right, perfectly matching the good girls from each family.
Of course, the young masters of the Syracuse family are worthy of attention, but the most coveted one is the Duke of their family. Even though he has had three wives, marrying such a noble, wealthy, handsome and mature gentleman...even if he becomes the fourth wife, there are still many noble ladies who are willing to do so.
The old butler saw everything, and proudly and reservedly helped his master to fend off the enthusiastic ladies, while also arranging the progress of the banquet in an orderly manner.
There were a total of five little plagues at this banquet. Alice was still in the nursery and couldn't go out, and Flora was kicked to another country and couldn't return.
However, this was a party held to celebrate Julia's coming of age, and Su Yun was always with Julia. During this period, Jasmine wanted to stay with Su Yun, but was finally taken away by the old housekeeper, and reluctantly entertained the younger guests with Theresa.
Isis, on the other hand, has always been with his classmates. Her sunny and cheerful temperament makes her very popular among her peers. No one can refuse Isis's friendliness, even though the essence of this friendliness is compassion for the living.
After all, from the perspective of secular human concepts...when Isis did not raise her sword or gun, he was the most righteous and enthusiastic good man.
Anita actually came obediently, but her clothes were out of place for this party. Her burgundy coat was inlaid with dazzling steel chains and rivets, and her pants were not in good shape either. There was a large hole on her calf, revealing a skull tattoo. Su Yun was stunned when he saw it for the first time.
If Anita's appearance wasn't so seductive, the effect of his outfit would have been simply unsightly.
What was even more terrifying was that Anita brought two companions, a man and a woman, whose clothes were exactly the same as Anita's.
They were quite similar, but it was impossible for an ordinary person to have Anita's appearance and aura. What's more, these two people had been intimidated by the noble banquet and looked timid.
These two people look familiar... Su Yun reminisced and finally remembered that these were the porn stars who filmed the movie with Anita.
Anita's movements were also different from those of ordinary people. He walked into the banquet hall holding Huang on his left and Qingcang on his right. In the shocked eyes of the crowd, he raised his glass to his old father as if no one was around. He drank the scarlet wine in the glass and said, "Happy birthday, second brother."
After saying that, Anita threw the cup to the ground, and the crisp sound couldn't even cover the band's performance.
Su Yun: “…”
If I were really the Duke, I would cover my heart and beat this rebellious son to death right now.
The old butler probably thought so too. He had hinted to the waiter to drag the two porn stars out. Unfortunately, Anita would not let the comedy end like this. He grabbed one with each hand, his face full of arrogance and provocation.
The girl who was only wearing a sequined tube top on her upper body was already crying with fear, and her heavily made-up face looked particularly scary under the tears.
The guests were all shocked by this sudden scene. No one had expected that such an unseemly quarrel would break out in a family as noble as the Duke's, so they all rushed to eat this rare, sweet and crisp melon.
The band's performance happened to be paused at this moment, and the entire banquet hall fell into silence for a moment. Su Yun thought about it and thought that this time it was probably his turn to start the show, so he said coldly: "Get lost."
Anita immediately responded, "Oh! You want me to get out? Don't I have the right to celebrate my brother's birthday?!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't accept your blessing." Julia stepped forward and stood in front of Su Yun. He sneered, "Go away, fourth brother, don't humiliate yourself here."
After that, Julia turned and looked at Su Yun: "Father, please forgive his absurdity and stupidity."
As soon as Julia finished speaking, Isis also walked to the center of the banquet hall. He ignored Anita and just looked at Su Yun: "Father, let me send my fourth brother off."
At the same time, Jasmine came over without knowing when, and said righteously: "Fourth brother, how could you do this!"
Theresa quietly dodged Julia's interception and hugged Su Yun's legs. He raised his tender little face, with sincere concern written all over his face: "Father... don't be angry."
For a moment, the banquet hall seemed to have entered a movie set, with five actors performing on the same stage, each of them was so imposing that they grabbed the audience's attention.
.
The only audience member Su Yun: "..."
Su Yun held down the little white snake in his sleeve and said to Anita seriously, "Don't let me say it a second time. Take your friends and leave here immediately."
Anita gave the other brothers a provocative smile, then bowed slightly to Su Yun: "Father, I have a new work recently. I have put the film in your study. I look forward to your appreciation."
Su Yun: “…Get lost!”
"Yes, sir," Anita replied in a drawn-out voice. He laughed arrogantly and with an evil look on his face.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Anita turned around and left with her two helpers. In terms of attracting attention, Anita won a great victory this time.
Su Yun looked at the bastard's back, thought about it, covered his chest and acted angry.
Theresa clenched her hands: "Father!"
The plagues showed their concern one after another, and the old housekeeper was horrified. Seeing that a new round of drama was about to begin, Su Yun hurriedly picked up Theresa and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, the banquet continues."
The band played cheerful music again, and the crowd was all enjoying the occasion. Seeing that the situation was getting back on track, the guests started talking to each other in a warm manner again, as if Anita's intrusion was a collective hallucination of everyone.
The Rost family, relatives of the Syracuse family, were the first to come forward. After livening up the atmosphere, the ladies of their side branch began to jokingly and politely ask about the engagement. This topic immediately attracted the attention of all the ladies.
Mrs. Rossde only has a fifteen-year-old daughter, so her focus is of course on the second and third sons. There was originally a fourth, but no one would consider him now.
After a round of flattery, Mrs. Rossde asked the main point: "...the two young masters are really handsome, what kind of girl can be worthy of them!"
Su Yun: "Marriage is a sacred contract recognized by the Lord. I hope my children can find their loved ones and enter into marriage based on their personal wishes rather than the will of the family."
This topic was so romantic that the ladies were naturally amazed. Mrs. Rossard said loudly: "Oh, your daughter-in-law is so lucky!"
There were quite a few young people attending the banquet. The topics of the elders became relaxed, and the young boys and girls were smiling and exchanging glances. Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more lively, the old butler finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the Duke said so, Mrs. Rossde was not discouraged. She smiled and looked at the tall and handsome second young master of the Syracuse family with warm eyes:
"I see. Then what kind of girl is the second young master's ideal partner?"
Julia smiled politely and said, "Madam, you don't have to be like this. I have already sworn to His Majesty that I will devote my whole life to science. I will not delay any girl's life. Why don't you consider my third brother?"
Isis was inexplicably cueed. He raised his head from his companions, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Are you joking, brother? You should know that I don't plan to get married."
Su Yun: ...
Su Yun subconsciously looked at the old butler. It was a pity that the white-haired old man was hit so hard in vain. If it weren't for the quick action of the maid beside him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
