Chapter 190 Gift
Hiro was still young and couldn't understand what love was, but he knew that if he were to be brothers with the child who had tied him up and thrown him into the castle, Hiro would be so disgusted that people would throw him away.
"Of course you can. For a couple with different thoughts, whoever is more ruthless will have the upper hand." Jiang Ning's eyes moved from the system screen to Xi Luo's face.
"But if you hold back your disgust and become a lover with your enemy, you're not only taking revenge on your enemy, but also on yourself. If you suppress it for too long, it'll be bad if you become a psychopath."
Xi Luo stared at Jiang Ning in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Qing, who was sitting next to them, listened to the guests' additions to the stories of the two parties involved, and asked Zhu Yanlong to hold the camera steady so that the audience could join in the fun.
"Is Mr. Stanley okay?" Hiro suddenly asked, and from his expression, he was still worried.
"Not bad, but if you keep torturing yourself and taking revenge on your enemies like this, you'll really go crazy." Jiang Ning said after looking at the melon-eating system.
If it weren't for the inhumane things Pedro's father did, Stanley would have grown up in a harmonious family with enlightened parents and would have achieved his goal of becoming a professor. However, his mother was suddenly favored by a nobleman. Due to his refusal to compromise, his father was "accidentally" killed by the villain Mu Cang, and his mother was forced into marriage. He became a person despised by the nobles.
After his mother passed away, Stanley's life in the Loffield family became even more difficult. He was harassed by Pedro several times. Finally, not long ago, the two of them had an actual relationship.
This sounds like a story about a scumbag father and son, one of whom harmed Stanley's mother, and the other targeted him.
Some guests who knew a lot felt sorry for Stanley.
"Hey, Mr. Pedro is worthy of being his father's biological son. He always likes to force beautiful people. I think Stanley can become his lover because he used his status to pressure him."
"Yes, I heard that Stanley's mother died because Pedro's father dragged her to the balcony and threatened someone. In desperation, he dragged his mother down the building. She was naked when she fell. When my cousin's son, a policeman, came, Pedro's father was still very energetic. It was really shameful."
After hearing these inside stories, the guests sighed and felt sorry for Stanley and his mother.
The mother couldn't escape the persecution of the powerful, and now her son can't escape it either. What's going on? Do those nobles really not treat people as human beings?
Jiang Ning looked at the melon-eating system and did not correct the wrong melon.
In fact, the inside story of Stanley's mother's death was not this reason.
Before the lady died, she was severely depressed and took sleeping pills many times, but Stanley stopped her. Later, when she could no longer hold on, she took Pedro's father, who had forced her, with her to jump off the building, and pretended that Pedro's father was lustful and wanted to cause her to die for the sake of excitement.
Because the incident was too serious at the time, the Lovell family could not openly pursue Stanley and drove him out of the manor. Stanley felt that Pedro had feelings for him, so he began to deliberately make the other party more obsessed with him.
When Pedro thought Stanley really had feelings for him and wanted to take the next step, Stanley pushed Duck Brother, who looked a bit like him but was basically unrecognizable after putting on makeup and being drunk, towards Pedro.
During this period of time, what Pedro thought he had obtained, and the person he was hugging now, was this big duck brother.
As for where Stanley went, Jiang Ning glanced at Xi Luo, patted his shoulder and said.
"You should get a nice gift today."
Shiro looked at her in confusion. This was his mother's birthday party, so why was he receiving a gift?
Jiang Ning gave him a candy and asked Gua Gua to specify that her feelings were only open to Xi Luo.
【This is the gift you have been thinking about for a long time. 】
The gift he had been thinking about for a long time? Shiro met Jiang Ning's eyes and thought about how he had thought about it a long time ago, that it would be great if he was the child of his mother and Uncle Stanley.
Xiluo held the candy tightly in his little hands, looked around, and found that no one seemed to have heard his words. It seemed as if Jiang Ning had said this specifically for him alone. Xiluo's heart began to beat heavily, and a color of expectation appeared in his eyes.
Uncle Stanley was the only person besides his mother who treated him well without interfering with other things. If Uncle Stanley really became his father, Shiloh thought he would jump for joy.
No one noticed the brief exchange between the two men, and before the protagonist of the party arrived, the guests and the audience were discussing Pedro and Stanley.
The former was harshly criticized, but everyone really sympathized with Stanley.
[Is Stanley the hero of a sadomasochistic novel? How could he be so miserable? I searched for his photos, and seeing such a beautiful man being bullied, I wanted to drown Pedro with my saliva.]
[Letting scumbags hold power is a disaster for ordinary people!]
[Yeah, what with the top dignitaries falling in love with me? This kind of love-brained story is just to whitewash those scumbags who force love. If it's forced, how can it still be love? It's obviously just to satisfy their own desires, okay?]
The Loffield family is truly powerful. Even after betraying Lady Faye, the Countess, he still manages to live comfortably. Ordinary people like us can't do anything to him. It's a pity for Stanley; I wonder how long he'll have to endure this scumbag's bullying.
When everyone was denouncing Pedro, the protagonist of the party, Mrs. Fay, finally appeared with Pedro.
The two seemed to dislike each other very much. Instead of pretending to be a loving couple and coming hand in hand, they kept two meters away from each other. Only when they got close to the guests did they take the wine glasses and welcome the guests to the banquet.
It was just that the guests had just finished eating the melon, and now the way they looked at the two of them, especially Pedro's, seemed a little strange.
Pedro thought that it was because they arrived late that the guests were unhappy. Pedro thought to himself that it was troublesome and was about to raise his glass to express his apology when he saw the butler walking towards him with a resentful look in his eyes.
"Sir, the girl from the Flower Country that the young master invited seems to know witchcraft. She beep--"
The complaint was silenced, and the housekeeper said it several times, but it was still silenced.
The housekeeper panicked and was even more convinced that Jiang Ning was under some strange witchcraft. Seeing Pedro's impatient expression, he pointed at Jiang Ning and gave her a subtle reminder.
"Sir, that oriental girl is not simple. She knows a lot of things. You should be careful with her."
Pedro was already feeling annoyed and couldn't hear what the butler said at all. Then he saw that the butler was still saying that a girl from the Flower Country was not simple. Pedro was too lazy to listen anymore and waved him away.
"Don't talk nonsense. How can the guests invited by Xi Luo be bad? If you are tired, go and rest. Let others arrange the banquet."
Fei, who was not far away, saw the two people entangled, glanced at them sarcastically, and was about to go and meet the new friend from the Flower Kingdom invited by Shiro, but just after taking two steps, he heard an unfamiliar female voice from the Flower Kingdom.
The mistress is right beside him, yet the butler, the young mistress, is even getting close to Pedro. Does he think that just because he's sleeping with Pedro, he's the owner of the manor?
[Come to think of it, I've tasted a lot of backdoor marriages, but except for one or two who were born with it, the others, including Pedro, were acquired through backdoor marriages. Is it because normal love and marriage can't satisfy them, so they're looking for excitement here?]
