Chapter 71 Old Friends (1)
Suddenly, the elegant and noble atmosphere of the banquet was interrupted.
Jiang Jianming frowned, slowly put down the silver fork, and bent down to pick up the golden sun wheel badge.
He just got a little angry because once... Ryan hoped that he could join Jin Ilun after graduating from the military academy.
When the time comes, if you make some merit and get a promotion, you can consider public relations and officially hold a wedding in front of the entire empire.
Unexpectedly, such worms are also parasitized inside the golden sun wheel.
"Moth" Brandon was paralyzed sitting in front of Jiang Jianming, panting heavily and dizzy.
He felt countless lines of sight around him, including those bigwigs who the family could not wait to get close to, and also his father who was far-sighted—
Old Brandon was standing far away at the moment, his face pale, staring at him with a look of resentment that he wished he could not live without this son.
Brandon clutched his torn dress, utterly ashamed.
At the same time, however, a maddening pleasure flooded into my heart at the same time.
Look, the eyes of the audience are now gathered, not to mention a pariah who mixed into the noble banquet, but dared to make a commotion on the spot...
Brandon suddenly laughed and stood up staggeringly, pretending that he couldn't hear the whispers of "what's wrong with him" and "he's crazy" around him.
"Wait, wait and see..." He glared at Jiang Jianming viciously, and muttered to himself deliriously.
"You untouchable, untouchable, you will be beaten out by Lord Lance's servants in no time... Maybe you will break your leg on the spot."
He pointed at Jiang Jianming, his eyes were slack: "You'd better climb back to your own stinky ditch, Aslan will not have a hospital to treat you, I promise, with the brand crest of the Brandon family, guarantee..."
But the next moment.
A voice that was as crisp as a silver bell and as sweet as a cotton candy suddenly rang in the hall, blocking the final sound of Mr. Brandon.
"ginger……!?"
A weak figure fluttered through the brilliant lights.
The girl with fluffy silver hair lifted her skirt timidly, but her hibiscus-like face was filled with innocent joy.
Her smile is pure and shining, not contaminated with the atmosphere of socializing and entertainment in the banquet, like a white butterfly elf flying out of a fairy tale.
Behind her, the big butler Horn of the Lance family stretched out his hand in horror, his chin almost hitting the ground: "Dai, Miss Diana—!?"
There was an uproar in the audience, and dozens of nobles looked at each other in surprise.
"Miss Diana?"
"That Miss Diana who never sees outsiders?"
"Who is she calling?"
"Who did she leave to find?"
Diana Lance ran across the long hall, leaving countless figures wrapped in gorgeous dresses behind her. This delicate girl ran all the way down from the top floor, and her surprise eyes fell on the door. Next to the nearest, most "lower" seat.
Jiang Jianming heard the voice of this noble lady calling him long ago.
So he smiled, got up from his seat and took two steps forward, spreading his arms—
Suddenly, the white butterfly-like girl plunged into his arms!
"Jiang, Jiang... It's really you!"
Diana cried with joy, she raised her face and hugged Jiang Jianming's waist, "Brother said that you went to the frontline battlefield, such a dangerous place, I thought I would never see you again, Jiang..."
Suddenly, as if some kind of magic was released with these two people as the core, the expressions on people's faces began to be the same.
Shocked is no longer enough to describe, and numbness seems to be missing something.
In short, it is a kind of shock that can only be experienced by personal experience.
Jiang Jianming looked mild, and patted Diana's head like a kitten: "How come, I went back only when I was sure I came back safely. It must be because you are too ignorant that your brother scare you."
Diana sobbed softly and raised her misty eyes, "You, you didn't say goodbye to me at that time, you only told my brother... Jiang is a big bad guy."
She sniffed and smiled timidly: "But, but it's really nice that you can come back safely."
"..."
Before the smile on Brandon's face could be taken off, the corners of his mouth twitched into a comical arc, twitching and twitching.
It was a nightmare, he told himself numbly.
Isn't this Jiang Jianming a commoner? No matter from the information investigated or from the clothes, words and deeds, he is indeed an orphan civilian.
How could he possibly know the Lance family—a lady who could almost be called a half-royal Lance family! ?
So it must be a dream. From yesterday to now, it's been an absurd nightmare, he just hasn't woken up yet...
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Jianming patted the silver-haired girl who was still hugging him and crying.
"Okay, Miss Diana? Don't you think you're making a lot of noise, everyone is watching us."
It's good that he didn't say this. As soon as he said this, Diana came back to her senses, her cheeks blushed suddenly, and with a "bang", she buried her little face in Jiang Jianming's arms again.
Jiang Jianming: "..."
If the little highness is usually a proud and elegant golden lion, accustomed to staring at him coldly, and only at certain times will he incarnate as a big cat and lick him...
This doll lady from Lance's family is the unquestionable Ragdoll. She is shy and reserved in front of outsiders, but she likes to mumble around her.
Thinking that he and the Lance family made good friends back then, it was because of the relationship of the crown prince, but later it was Ryan who became jealous. He couldn't help himself to "compete for favor" with Diana, a little doll who didn't know much about the world. In the end, it was Jiang Jianming, the prospective crown princess, who suffered.
Every time he came back from a visit to Lance's house, he was bound to be held by the aggrieved and dissatisfied Ryan on the bed for a long time, and then put a fiery kiss on his lips to declare possession.
It's just that Jiang Jianming knew in his heart that Diana really only regarded herself as a friend and brother, and had no other ideas.
She usually has such a soft personality, and she is so naive towards her "brother".
"elder brother……!"
Suddenly, Diana turned around lightly, she was carrying a complicated white lace skirt, her eyes were like pear blossoms and rain, "Jiang is back, why didn't you tell me in advance!"
I saw the crowd of people parted ways, and a handsome silver-gray figure came—
The legendary young head of the Lance family, Audrey Lance.
Seeing Audley walking steadily towards this direction, the nobles who turned into puppets raised a thumping heart again.
Especially from a distance, Major General Tang and the head of the Bei family looked even more tense.
Who doesn't know that Master Audley is a sick sister-in-law, and he will ruthlessly call his servants out for anyone of the opposite sex or even the same sex who dares to approach his sister.
Now, the fate of this mysterious commoner will be...
The wide hall was finished in a few seconds, and Audley in a luxurious dress stood in front of Jiang Jianming.
This time, Jiang Jianming acted first.
He pulled Diana off his body, stretched out his hand to Audley, and said with a chuckle, "Lord Audley, stay safe."
Audley looked at him fixedly.
Suddenly he said, "Didn't you just find me directly when you come?"
hiss……
There was a sound of inhalation all around.
Audley nodded his chest as a salute, and said softly, "I ignored our distinguished guest, and Diana is going to scold me again. Is there something wrong with my invitation, or is it someone in our family who neglected you?" Jiang Jianming: "No, no, everything is fine. I'm sorry, I'm late for some things, and you seem to be busy. I want to wait until the end of the dinner to find you."
Audley laughed and complained softly in a hoarse voice: "...you are obviously wronged."
I don't know if it was an illusion or not, the voice of the young Lance Patriarch seemed to be a little choked up.
He shook his head: "You actually came back alive from that kind of place... You really are someone who can create miracles, Jiang."
Audrey Lance pursed his lips and revealed a sassy smile, holding Jiang Jianming's outstretched hand: "Anyway, welcome back, dear friend. It's really nice to see you again..."
In the distance, old Brandon's eyes darkened and he almost collapsed on the ground.
He rushed forward, dragged the lost young Brandon to the most inconspicuous corner, and then slapped his son with a big ear on the spot.
Old Brandon roared in disbelief: "You bastard, who the hell did you and your brother offend!?"
Young Master Brandon cried, "I-I don't know either!"
On the other side, the head of the Bei family was dizzy and hugged Beimaner's shoulders: "Baby, what kind of friends have you made!?"
Beiman'er said blankly, "I-I don't know either?"
