I became DIO's vicious stepmother

"What's wrong? You don't look very well."

I looked suspiciously at Dio, who was a little stiff all over. Although I didn't care whether he was happy or not, I still pretended to be concerned on the surface, "Do you have a stomachache because of lactose intolerance?"

"...What the hell are you talking about?"

Dio's face was very ugly, and he stared at me viciously, as if I was his enemy, which made me suddenly realize that I seemed to have stepped on his thunder point somewhere.

Could it be Jonathan?He heard that his suit was custom-made to Jonathan's measurements, so upset?

"You shouldn't be..."

When I was about to speak out, Dio seemed to have reacted, he restrained himself all of a sudden, regained his calm expression and said, "It's nothing, it's fine, we'll pick up the clothes together tomorrow, thank you for taking the trouble for me .”

He changed his face a little faster, it seems that he is more and more able to control his emotions now...

But I'm too lazy to entangle with him, I have very low requirements for him, just don't get angry at me casually...

So I pretended nothing happened, nodded and said, "Well, I will try on the clothes when I pick them up tomorrow. If something doesn't fit, ask the tailor to change it quickly. Your coming-of-age ceremony will be held in three days, so there's still time." of."

"no problem."

Dio had no problem with this, he thought about it and asked, "Which guests did you invite?"

"Basically they are acquaintances."

I pouted and recalled the list on the invitation letter, and quickly replied to Dior, "The guests who are willing to come include the Joestar family, Mrs. Sterling and her husband, the Earl of Brown and his wife, Lily Frankenstein, Dao Lin Gray... Oh, and the Senator Greenfields and the banker Gordons introduced by Mr. Joestar, you can try to get to know them and socialize with them. Anyway, these people are willing to come to your adult Literally, it means that they are willing to come to know you and try to be kind to them.

You can ignore them, of course, except for my sister and her husband. "

"I can understand the others. Why did you invite Dorian Gray?"

His attention seemed to be completely focused on Dorian, and he suddenly looked at me alertly, "Is there something going on between you and him?"

"No, you're thinking too much."

I waved my hand, it's okay to doubt other people, why should I doubt Dorian Gray?He was never on my list.

"Then why is he helping you?" Dio sneered, "Don't tell me he was moved by your sincerity."

This question should be asked to Lily Frankenstein, what did she do to Dorian...Of course, it is also possible that the old monster has lived too long and wants to have some fun in a boring life, to see how women's revolution can be. what kind of result.

Still, I explained to Dior, "He's a dirty guy, but there's no denying that he's been a great help to our cause."

"You mean the volunteer work you do every week?"

"Almost, after all, the vice president is named after you. I've always told them that I have a stepson who can understand women, and I hope to help them get out of this kind of life after my studies are over."

Dior knew about the fraternity thing that Lily Frankenstein and I were doing, helping women on the East End.But he didn't show much interest in it.So I explained to him that the president and funder of this mutual aid society is Dorian Gray, and I took out the newspapers I collected from the drawer and stuffed them into Dior's hands, telling him that he and Dorian had harvested "women Friends" reputation.

There is also a draft of the Navy Army I wrote on it, and I gave him a few blows. In short, so far, he has a high degree of favorability among the lower-level women in the Eastern District.

"..."

Dio frowned and stared at the contents of the newspaper for a long time. Just when he had a sign of tearing up the newspaper, I snatched the newspaper from his hand with the speed of a vampire, and folded it carefully.

"Be careful, don't break it, these are materials for your future election!"

Dio looked at me questioningly, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I thought you had given up on this idea a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to still insist on doing this... Maybe you really thought that by doing this kind of thing, Can you achieve what you want?"

...Could it be that he found out about my flickering?After all, the direction I set for him was not the president in the first place.An egalitarian profile will help him gain local trust and favor, but will completely lose the support of some conservative states.

"What's the matter with you, do you want to change your direction?" I asked cautiously.

"Almost, after I carefully studied all kinds of materials, I found that your proposal is meaningless. It is the capital and the forces behind it that can really control the votes. If I want to get their support, what I need to do is definitely not what you said. "

Dio didn't argue with me, he bent his lips and said meaningfully, "It's up to you if you want to play these house games, I have learned a lot in the past few years, and I have my own plan .”

"Then why do you let those forces choose you? You are too short-sighted. You need to position yourself as a supporter of human rights at least on the surface, and now women are awakening a little bit. You shouldn't underestimate us."

"All of you look the same to me, you and I are the difference between humans and monkeys." Dio said impatiently.

"Okay, I have my own plan, you don't need to involve me in what you want to do."

"But you can't get rid of your name, the women in the East District have already regarded you as a savior." I laughed sinisterly, showing two fangs to Dio.

It means that you have to do it if you don’t do it, and there is no chance for you to turn back.

However, Dio suddenly froze.He seemed thoughtful, then gave me a meaningful look.

"Do you mean that those women will do anything for me?"

"Then you think too much." I glanced at him vigilantly. In order to prevent him from having dangerous thoughts, I warned him, "All their goals are to make their own better survival. If someone wants to hinder them , you know the limits of what they can do, like the men who were killed and thrown into the river."

In the past few years, many female ticket-holders in the East End were found in the London River, and the police could not find any results. Those women were surprisingly united.When they found out that today's street girls are fishing, stealing their money and killing them, the number of female ticket shoppers is also decreasing, which in a sense has very effectively changed the industry. ...

"Oh--"

Dio snorted softly, and he didn't know what he thought of. Suddenly he stopped arguing with me about this issue, and he began to think deeply.

He can't think of anything bad...

But the women in the East Side can't do anything for him, they just want to kill the capitalists who killed them and the men who hurt them...

The next day, as planned, I went to the photo studio with Dior.

The power of the flash is still astonishing, but today's luck is not so good. Dior blinked his eyes when taking a photo, which caused the photo to be directly scrapped.

"Well...it's a pity, let's take another picture."

Mr. Berger from the photo studio shook his head and raised his camera again.

"..."

I can't hold back my smile anymore. The big flashes of cameras in this era are very lethal to vampires, and it makes me feel uncomfortable just to bear it.If I do it again, I feel like I’m going to vomit, but I can’t stop taking pictures now, and I can’t let others find that I’m afraid of the camera’s flash, so when my legs were shaking a little, I put my arm around Dio’s shoulders and forced myself to stand upright.

"Ah? Are you all right, Miss White, your face doesn't look very well..."

Mr. Berg noticed something was wrong with me, and hurriedly expressed his concern.

"I'm fine." I smiled reluctantly.

Dio pretended to be considerate and asked, "Is it because the flash is too dazzling, do you want to take a break, mother."

"Dior can really tell a joke."

I gritted my teeth and glared at him, "Just stop blinking suddenly."

"It was just an accident." He shrugged innocently.

"However, Miss White hasn't changed at all for so many years. No, in other words, her beauty today is even better than in the past. No gemstone can compare to you."

Mr. Berg complimented me while pressing the shutter.

After another big camera flash, I felt like I was going to faint.I accidentally took one more photo than the original plan. Fortunately, this is the last time to take a photo... It's not a big problem. I can recover after going back to rest for a day.

I felt that my legs were a little weak and I couldn't stand up. When I almost slipped, Dio suddenly supported my waist.

"Be careful, mother."

He turned his head, glanced at me without any emotion, and said to Mr. Berg, "Sorry, my mother seems a little uncomfortable, can we stay alone for a while."

"No problem, you can rest here."

After all, Mr. Berg took photos for Dorian Gray. He exited the studio very skillfully and closed the door for us. I don’t know what he misunderstood. He reminded us in a very "considerate" voice, "The appointment time for my next guest here is in the afternoon."

"Thank you very much."

After watching Mr. Berg leave, Dior put me on the sofa.

"No, no, don't sit here, it's too dirty, I want to go back."

There are often aristocrats here who take absurd photos. No one knows what happened on this sofa. It’s like the cheap single room near the university where students applaud for love. The bed is so dirty that people feel uncomfortable sitting on it. Infected with disease X.

I tried to stand up with difficulty, but because I only ate duck blood to fill my stomach for a long time, I was a little weaker than ordinary vampires, and my recovery speed was also very slow, resulting in my legs still being weak, and I couldn't lift my strength.

"Oh, so how do you want to get back, Jenny."

Dio sneered slightly, he stood in front of me, his eyes full of evil.

"Are you sure you can walk? Or do you want me to carry you back?"

"What the hell are you talking about..."

I twitched the corner of my mouth, and just when I was about to warn him to wait, I suddenly realized a problem.

Wait, maybe he knew my weakness, so he did it on purpose...?
