Miss King in Pride and Prejudice

Before Serena participated in the dance at the Duke of Lane's house as a dance partner again, the embroiderer from England arrived in Paris, and Mr. Jin and Serena got busy. Serena was busy counting various finished products and estimating the The daily output of similar embroidery products, as well as the planned launch time of various embroidery products, Serena calculated these and wrote a plan.

Mr. Jin is busy with the expansion of the store and the arrangement of personnel. Both of them are preparing for the opening of the Oriental Accessories Store.

Originally, the Oriental Accessories Store could open as soon as it was ready, but because of the dance at Duke Ryan's house, the opening date had to be postponed for two days.

On the day of the dance, Serena changed into the costume she had chosen last time, her hair was tied up, and she paired it with shiny jewelry. The well-dressed Serena lifted her long skirt and walked down the stairs slowly.Mr. Jin looked at his beautiful granddaughter and felt very proud, but he felt a little heartbroken when he saw the eldest grandson of the Duke of Lane, whom he admired standing next to him, looking at his granddaughter with admiration.

Mr. Little Ryan went up to meet him, took Serena's hand, who hadn't reacted yet, and gently printed a kiss on the back of Serena's hand, and then sincerely praised Serena's beauty.

Serena knew about the hand kiss, but she was not interested in experiencing it for herself, so this was the first time she half-forced to accept a hand kiss from a gentleman.Serena, who came back to her senses almost immediately, immediately withdrew her hand, took a step back slightly, opened the distance between herself and Mr. Little Ryan, and then returned a curtsy, humbly thanking Mr. Little Ryan for his praise, her face She was blushing, of course she didn't think that Mr. Little Lane was blushing shyly, but because of being angry. Serena felt that she had goosebumps. The kissing ceremony was obviously for the lady to be voluntary. She was so reluctant.

Accidentally let his granddaughter be taken advantage of by the grandson of the deceased in front of him, Mr. Jin's face turned black, and he felt that Serena's super low evaluation of Mr. Ryan was justified.He immediately stepped forward, greeted Mr. Little Ryan politely, and at the same time put his granddaughter's hand on his arm, absolutely not giving Mr. Little Ryan a chance to get close to Serena again.

Mr. Jin helped Serena get into his own carriage, and he didn't invite Mr. Little Ryan to get into the same carriage, but said politely that I'll see you later.

Little Mr. Ryan had to touch his nose and get on his own carriage. He was finally sure that the disapproval he felt from the grandparents of the Jin family was actually true. It was the first time he was treated like this. The normal reaction of others should not be to be happy Compliments for the Bachelorette?How to get here is different.

When he arrived at the Duke of Lane's mansion, Mr. Jin helped Serena get out of the carriage. When he saw the little Mr. Lane who also got off the carriage, Mr. Jin had to temporarily give up his granddaughter to Serena's dance partner tonight.Very reluctantly, Mr. Jin watched Serena holding Mr. Ryan's hand, and the two walked into the ball very well.

The clothes of Mr. Little Lane and Serena have been skillfully matched by the Duchess, and they are also couples. The two people dressed up look very well-matched. When such a pair walks into the ball, the man is the future Duke. Naturally Got all the attention.Serena was already mentally prepared for the sight from everyone, so she still smiled calmly, except that the hand holding the fan was tightly holding the fan handle.

Compared with Serena's restrained nervousness, Mr. Little Ryan smiled proudly, and confidently led Serena to his elders, the Duke and his wife of Ryan.The duchess looked at their matching outfits with satisfaction, and praised them, the duke nodded to them, and let them go to say hello to other people who attended the ball.

Because the host's grandson was beside her, Serena was led to recognize the people who had arrived throughout the ball, and let the people of the whole ball know her now.

As more people arrived, Serena received a lot of glaring glances from unmarried ladies of the same age. It seemed that even looking at the match made many women who secretly promised her very dissatisfied with Serina.Forget about unmarried women, even those married Mrs. So-and-so looked at her out of the corners of their eyes, realizing again that this is Serena in Paris.

No matter what she thinks in her heart, Serena always greets people with a steady smile.Then she found that the smile was a little unbearable. Isn't this Mr. Darcy and Georgiana?The letter from Georgiana that I just received yesterday didn't say anything about her departure for France. It seemed that she wanted to surprise her, but there was only surprise but no joy. Such a sudden attack is really not good.

Seeing Mr. Darcy with an iceberg face and Georgiana with a bright smile approaching, Serena tried to hold on to her smile and introduced Mr. Darcy and his siblings to Mr. Lane.Mr. Little Lane said that he had met Mr. Darcy several times, but it was the first time for Miss Darcy to meet him.

The Darcy brothers and sisters saw the clothes of Serena and Mr. Little Lane clearly. Georgiana winked at Serena suspiciously and teasingly.

At this time, a new guest arrived, and Serena and Mr. Little Ryan bid farewell to the Darcy brothers and sisters, and went to greet the newcomers.Serena felt that she had been saved, but meeting Mr. Darcy was as embarrassing as she imagined.

Before Serena was glad to leave the embarrassing person, the girls in front of her were not easy to use. The married and unmarried women in front were at most ignoring or attacking with eyes, Serena just pretended she didn't know.The two in front of them are completely personal attacks. What is weird clothing? This is decided by the Duchess. Isn't it better than a fragrant Christmas tree?What do you mean by average appearance, average figure, and no special features? What does this have to do with you?

Serena held back her anger, smiled and asked Mr. Ryan, who was watching the joke: "Who are these two ladies who have been expressing their insights?"

"Ah, what was the surname that I said just now, I'm sorry, our memory is not very good, please introduce yourself again." Mr. Little Ryan asked with a smile, wondering if he really didn't remember these two ladies last name.

Seeing that the two of them finally shut up with pale faces, Serena continued to smile and asked softly: "Are the two ladies so happy because they participated in Duke Lane's ball? Why don't you remember your last name?"

"Our surname is Smith." The elder Miss Smith said through gritted teeth.

"Then Miss Smith, I wish you a wonderful night." Serena wished her sincerely.Mr. Little Lane also nodded to the two, and then walked away with Serena.

Serena stayed with Mr. Little Ryan until the beginning of the dance, and danced the opening dance with Mr. Little Ryan before Serena returned to Mr. Jin's side.

"Come on, sit next to grandfather, why didn't you tell grandfather that Mr. Darcy's brother and sister came to France, they surprised me when they came to say hello to me." Rina sat down to rest.

"That's because I don't know, and I was shocked when I saw it. Damn Georgiana, she must have done it on purpose." Serena sat down, resisting the urge to massage her calf, no matter what age , high heels are not so easy to wear.

"They will always come to visit. You can ask when the time comes. Miss Darcy is very interesting." Mr. Jin thought that his granddaughter must be even more surprised, and said with a smile.

"Grandfather, I don't think it's the right decision for me to attend the ball today as the dance partner of Mr. Little Ryan." Serena felt that the bigger problem now was that after this ball, she estimated that she would have a vote of enemies.

"What's the matter, I think the situation is okay, the social interaction is about the same." Mr. Jin said that he didn't understand Serena's distress.

"Grandfather, it's because you didn't see the way those ladies looked at me. Many married and unmarried ladies glared at me, otherwise they couldn't let me go. I have made countless enemies today, and they are all future customers of our store. Rich ladies." Serena sighed slightly.

"Bullied by them? Who is it? Little Ryan can't make up for it?" Mr. Jin's unhappy granddaughter thought that someone had bullied her granddaughter.

"No, they stared at me and ignored me, so I pretended I didn't see it. If they dared to attack me verbally, I would fight back. Forget it, Mr. Ryan. I'm worried about the business of our store. Just look at my clothes. Guess that Dongfang is our store." Serena thought why she hadn't thought of Mr. Little Lane's attraction to ladies.

"As long as you're not being bullied, that's fine. As for the business in the store, you don't have to worry too much. French ladies don't care who owns the store as long as it can increase their charm." Mr. Jin doesn't think women are jealous The heart will affect their beauty-loving nature.

"I hope so." Serena could only think so.

Serena sat beside her grandfather to rest her feet, grinding her teeth with her grandfather. She felt that she was high-profile enough at this ball, so she didn't want to increase her exposure, so she didn't accept invitations from other gentlemen to dance.

Georgiana and Mr. Darcy noticed that Serena and Mr. King were sitting here, and they were walking towards it.

Serena had just politely rejected a gentleman's invitation to dance, and when she looked up, she saw Mr. Darcy standing in front of her. Georgiana let go of her brother's hand, walked over cheerfully, and took Serena Na sat down.

Serena knelt down to Mr. Darcy, and sat down with Georgiana.

"Serina, you didn't expect that I had arrived in France, did you? Are you surprised?" Georgiana blinked her eyes and looked at Serena expectantly.

"It's a surprise. I was shocked to see you, and my grandfather was also shocked." Serena smiled and looked at her friend, unwilling to admit that she was so happy.

"Why is there only surprise? I'm so happy to see Serena. Does Serena miss me?" Of course Georgiana refused, acting like a baby to Serena.

"No, we haven't been separated for a long time, and we keep writing letters." Serena said deliberately.

"I don't believe it. Serena is always so duplicity, just like her brother." Georgiana was not fooled.

Hearing Georgiana mention Mr. Darcy, Serena fell silent.Seeing that Serena was almost ignoring her own situation, Mr. Darcy's complexion was not very good, and his hands were a little tight.

"When Mr. Darcy and Lingmei arrived in France, I didn't tell you anything." Seeing that Serena didn't speak again, Mr. Jin asked Mr. Darcy himself.

"We arrived seven days ago. It took some time to pack our luggage and prepare various things. We are planning to visit soon, and we don't want to meet here again." Mr. Darcy looked at Serena, who was silent, and Mr. Jin, Seriously answer Mr. Kim's question.

"That's right, you are welcome to visit. Serena doesn't have any close friends here. It's great that Miss Darcy can come." Mr. Jin welcomed with a smile, and also said that Serena missed her friends.

"Then is it convenient to visit tomorrow afternoon?" Mr. Darcy took advantage of the opportunity to ask for a visit while quietly observing Serena's reaction.

Serena's reaction was no response.

"Of course, I will let Serena prepare afternoon tea." Mr. Jin nodded.
