Chapter 187 Invitation to the Manor Banquet
Sitting in the front, impatiently waiting for the butler to pick him up, Hiro suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears.
His hand moved, curiosity overcame his usual etiquette, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the back seat.
"Were you talking?"
The car was too quiet at this moment, and Hiro's words made the three people in the car look at each other in surprise.
[Hmm? Isn't this kind of voice something that can transcend national boundaries?]
Jiang Qing and Fan Ming nodded repeatedly in their hearts, as this question touched the heart of their hearts.
Guagua, who was playing the game, heard this and replied, "The host is currently overseas. The system has automatically updated the Guagua, so foreigners can also hear the voice of the heart."
Hiro, who hadn't gotten an answer yet, heard another mechanical voice. He could barely maintain his composure and just stared blankly at Jiang Ning.
But there was no fear in his eyes, instead there was excitement?
Jiang Ning thought she had seen it wrong. Most people would feel scared when they first saw something beyond their imagination.
"Are you traveling from the future? Is it the interstellar world?" Shiro's voice sounded again in the car.
Jiang Ning's gaze fell on Xi Luo, who clenched his fists and flushed with excitement.
Well, that's for sure, except for those with a vivid imagination.
"No, I'm a modern native."
Shiloh's beautiful blue eyes were filled with disbelief. He was about to say that he would not reveal Jiang Ning's identity and was about to persuade Jiang Ning to tell him about the future, but was interrupted by a worried voice.
"Oh, my little master, how can you sit in this kind of car? Get out quickly."
A middle-aged man in a medieval tuxedo got out of the car. When he saw Shiro sitting in a car that cost no more than 300,000 yuan, he looked as anxious as if he was constipated. He hurried over to ask Shiro to get out of the car.
Before hearing what he wanted to hear, Shiro looked at the butler outside, his expression returned to calm, but the butler always felt a hint of resentment in his eyes.
The butler thought he had seen it wrong. His young master had been a well-behaved little gentleman since he was young. How could he show such an expression?
He looked carefully again, and when he didn't see it, he was even more certain that he had seen it wrong.
Then he opened the car door and carefully pulled Shiro out of the car with a smile on his face, speaking in a caring tone.
"How is your life at your friend's house these days, young master?"
After asking, the butler saw that Shilo was still wearing the same clothes he wore when he went out, and there was a smell on the clothes. He frowned and looked very dissatisfied.
"Which friend's house are you visiting? I'm going to call and ask about it later. I wonder if that kid's family is broke and can't even prepare clothes for the young master."
Jiang Ning and the other two who got out of the car with Xi Luo at the back, after hearing the housekeeper's words, imagined a huge drama of a palace fight.
No wonder no one went to look for Hiro and the little girl after they were tied up in the castle for several days. It seemed that everyone else thought they had gone to their friends' houses to play.
Hiro, who originally had no intention of saying these things in front of the housekeeper, became gloomy after hearing these words and clenched his hands at his sides.
"Did my father say that I went to play at a friend's house?"
The housekeeper saw that Hiro was acting strangely and was confused for a moment. However, Hiro and the master had never had a good relationship. The housekeeper thought that he was disappointed because his father did not come to pick him up, so he bent down carefully to comfort him.
"The master was busy with work and didn't come to pick you up. You'll see him at the banquet tomorrow."
The biological son can only see his father at the banquet. Is this really words of comfort to the child?
As expected, Xi Luo looked even more disappointed, but he quickly restrained his expression, glanced at Jiang Ning and the other two, and said to the butler.
"Give them some invitations. I want to invite them to the party tomorrow."
"Also, I had an accident while playing with my friends. Zhou Minmin is still in a coma. Please arrange for a doctor to come and see her, and then call Uncle Zhou to pick her up."
The butler was brought from Eagle Country by Hiro's mother. He attached great importance to the family's reputation and did not want to see the young master associating with people of such low skin color, but when he saw Hiro's disapproval, his face turned stern.
The housekeeper could only sigh and agree, calling the two guards who were waiting nearby.
"Thank you for sending the young master back. I will send someone to deliver the formal attire and invitations to the banquet to you later. Now I will have them escort you out of the manor."
He also emphasized the word "dress" in his words, and glanced at the guests arrogantly, as if to say: Those of you who don't have the status to even enter the manor, be smart and take the initiative to say that you will not participate in the banquet.
However, the butler was obviously overthinking it. Jiang Ning and the others saw that the Loffield family seemed to have something to eat. Now that the opportunity was delivered to their doorstep, they could go and eat the melons on the spot. It would be strange if they would refuse.
"Okay, then we'll wait. Can you send a few more invitations? We have other friends too." Jiang Qing asked for the invitations without any hesitation.
In the butler's view, this behavior was completely rude and he looked at them with even more disdain. If Hiro hadn't been watching him and seemed to have a good impression of these yellow people, he would have wanted to wave them away.
Just as the housekeeper was about to sigh that there weren't enough invitations, Jiang Ning glanced at the guard who had brought out the jeweled chair, then remembered the melon that Xi Luo had broken, and picked it up and ate it again.
[Let me see how much a guard, a security guard, can earn. He can even buy gems.]
The inner voice sounded again, and Hiro's dim eyes immediately brightened.
[Hmm? So it was this housekeeper who gave it to him? Why? The system shows that the security guard has no connection with the housekeeper.]
Hiro nodded. The butler came from the Earl's family. How could he know an ordinary guard from the Rose Country border?
[Could it be that the housekeeper has a crush on the security guard? I saw on the system that the housekeeper got in through the backdoor.]
The Rose Kingdom was very open to this kind of relationship, and Hiro was not surprised. What surprised him was that the butler actually liked men, even though he had a gentle wife and a lovely younger brother.
He looked at the butler in confusion, but he didn't see any guilty look on his face, not even the expression of being angry and wanting to scold Jiang Ning.
Looking at the other two guards, they also had calm faces, without any special expressions.
Shiro's eyes gradually became puzzled.
Can't they hear the voices in their hearts?
Amid Hiro's confusion, Jiang Ning continued to attack.
Oh, so that's not the case. The butler is a man of high status and doesn't look down on the security guard, who has a plain background. He gave the security guard the jeweled chair because the security guard accidentally saw him being intimate with a man. The butler stole the chair from the manor's storeroom, intending to enjoy it himself, to bribe the security guard to keep quiet.
Hiro looked at the butler again. He didn't expect that the butler who had watched him grow up since he was a child, in addition to being unfaithful in his marriage, actually stole the property of the manor.
Being looked at by Hiro with such disappointment, the butler thought that he was embarrassed, which made Hiro unhappy, so he asked carefully.
"What happened to the young master?"
"It's okay." Shiro didn't completely believe what Xinsheng said yet. He wanted to investigate it himself to confirm whether what Xinsheng said was true.
