Did the male lead change his ways today?
Chapter 39
Dior's premonition was right, the ball really developed as he imagined.
On Jojo's birthday, when he, as her older brother, Dio led her out, he found some unexpected people.
George invited not only his old friends, but besides George's adopted son, who he least wanted to see, there was another guy who was very obtrusive.
Willie Carpenter, JoJo's cousin, the filthy idiot.
That's right, he had already guessed that George would not be so cruel as to sever contact with Jojo's aunt, not to mention that they sent away their daughter and paid enough price and sacrifice, George, a saint, might feel a little guilty towards them.
Therefore, although Jojo has not been to the Carpenter's house for so many years, under the strong plea of Aunt Petunia, George agreed to his nephew to come to Jojo's birthday party, and take this opportunity to let him know some high society of nobles.
As for Johnny, he claimed that he lost the chance to come here after he severed his relationship with his father, and he is not a threat for the time being.And in Dior's eyes, Diego's cousin might be a little more difficult to deal with.
When he is going to talk to those noble people one by one, he may need to distract some attention and stare at them.
"Do I really want to dance with so many people, Dio?"
Qiao Qiao stood beside him, fidgeting, "I feel like I can't breathe, is it because the corset is too tight?"
"Oh Jojo, you women put on your waist because men like to see you weak and easily fainted, and everyone will be fascinated by your appearance."
Dio said maliciously, and reminded like a considerate brother, "But as long as you don't want to, you can refuse anyone, and no one will force you."
"But it's not polite."
She looked very upset, and Diego and the others had their eyes fixed on her, but at least they had the sense not to try to come directly to him and take her away.Dio began to think about whether it was the right choice to socialize with other nobles at this time, but he couldn't miss his chance for Jojo... Jojo didn't deserve his attention!
Moreover, the most important thing was that the old witch's prophecy said that Jojo's husband would be a doctor. If she was really accurate, then he didn't need to pay attention to these people.Qiao Qiao likes to sympathize with the weak, and it is difficult for those arrogant noble men to win her heart.
"Nothing impolite, it's your birthday, you can do whatever you want. Oh, you have a drink first, I'll go say hello to my father's friends."
"Glad to hear that, Dio." Joannes smiled at him, "Thank you for encouraging me."
"It's nothing, who told you that you are my sister."
Dio patted Jojo on the shoulder, coaxed her with gentle lies, and after giving her the glass of apple juice, he left her side.
Sorry, he doesn't have any extra attention to give to Jojo.Now he is going to win over George's valuable contacts and conquer them with his unique and sharp insights.
Not long after Dior left, many young people came towards Joannes.
They finally waited for that Brando to leave. Rumor has it that he has a very good relationship with his sister who is not related by blood. It became very difficult to approach Miss Joestar.
Miss Joestar, now in all her finery, is as regal as a princess, and any gentleman here would want to marry her.
As long as Dior is by Jojo's side, no one dares to talk to that girl.But now he's finally gone, thank goodness.
"May I ask you to dance, Miss Joestar."
When the young gentlemen surrounded Joannes, a bold young man with brown curly hair was the first to reach out to her.
"Ah...Of course, as long as you don't dislike me, I might step on your foot."
"Of course not. Even if you step on my foot, it's my honor." The young man laughed.
"You're really joking."
Joannes blushed, then she accepted the invitation and joined the young man on the dance floor.Dio, who was talking to George's friends, noticed this scene. He glanced at Jojo out of the corner of his eye, and then continued to speak with a mask of hypocrisy.
And Diego Brando was not in a hurry to squeeze into the crowd waiting in line to dance with Miss Joestar, he observed the mansion silently, his eyes staring at Miss Joestar and the decorations in the home. Looking back and forth.
Diego was in no rush to be one of the men who bothered her, he disdained the company of pigeons, they looked to him like impatient clowns, he looked for the best moment.
But JoJo's cousin, Willie Carpenter, can't seem to take it anymore.After Jojo and the fifth person finished dancing, he caught up with Jojo who was going to get a drink.
"Jojo, wait, let's talk."
He called Joanice's name and motioned to the other men around him to make room for them.The self-conscious people stepped back, but Jojo seemed a little resistant. She took a step back and distanced herself from Willy, her bushy eyebrows drawn together.
"I'm sorry Cousin Willie, it's better for us to keep our distance."
"What's wrong with you, Jojo, you were not like this before."
Willie's face was hurt immediately, and he stepped forward to grab Joannes' hand, but she shrank back and shook her head at him.
"What caused us to become so estranged? I know Anna did unforgivable things to you! I hate her too, but we have given her the punishment she deserves, can we still be the same as before? We have clearly So close..." Willie complained passionately.
"It has nothing to do with Anna, it's just that it's wrong, I shouldn't let you have that misunderstanding."
Joannes stared at Willy, she felt sad, but said seriously and firmly, "I didn't know Cousin Willie you thought that about me, I'm sorry for that, I've always regarded You treat yourself as your own family, and you have nothing else to think about. I won't marry you, and I don't want to cause Willie to have that misunderstanding, so for everyone's sake, let's not meet again."
"No! Jojo, you don't understand at all! How much I like you, I will treat you well!"
Willy suddenly lost control of his emotions, "It's Dio! That despicable little bastard! Did he say something to you! He wants to provoke the relationship between us, so as to achieve the purpose of occupying Joestar's property! Jojo You must not be fooled! We are the most suitable, as long as you marry me, your father's property will not flow out, and we will still be a family!"
"...No, you still don't understand, Cousin Willie."
Joannes shook her head vigorously, watching Willy's eyes gradually become disappointed, "No matter what, I won't marry you, don't waste time on me. Please don't comment on Dior like that, I Respect him, he is my brother."
"You believe that bastard doesn't believe me?!"
Willy raised his voice all of a sudden, attracting the attention of the people around him, and he began to lose his temper, "I knew that kid was a disaster. At that time, I should do my best to oppose my uncle's adoption of him. He took you away! He just Lie to you! Why don't you understand?!"
"...be gracious, and don't forget you're a gentleman, Cousin Willie."
Joannes' expression became serious, and she said with great determination, "I choose to keep a distance from you, it doesn't mean that I was deceived by Dior, it's just that I think I should do this, please don't spoil yourself image."
"Jojo, you..."
Desperation appeared on Willy's face, and he almost subconsciously wanted to grab Jojo's hand, but at this moment, a tall blond figure stood between them.
"You look really ugly, Willie Carpenter. You have been greedily thinking about things that don't belong to you, but you will bring disaster to yourself."
The blond handsome boy had a sneer on his face, his amber eyes stared at him coldly, he angered Willy almost instantly, and when Willy grabbed his collar and wanted to hit him, George finally Noticed the movement here.
"What's going on? Are you guys going to fight?"
Seeing Willy's appearance, George was a little surprised, and then couldn't help but frowned, "Although duels between gentlemen are allowed, I don't want you to ruin Jojo's birthday. If there is any conflict between you, Let’s settle it in private.”
After George came over, Willy finally flinched, he immediately let go of Dio's collar, bowed his head and apologized to George.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Uncle George, but I was just confused."
Even he couldn't tell in front of George that he was pissed at being rejected for asking Jojo to dance.What's more, George invited him because his mother begged him to come. In order for him to know George's friends, he couldn't ruin this opportunity. It would be too shameful if he was kicked out of Jojo's birthday party.
After waking up, he was angry and annoyed, he looked back at Qiao Qiao, and fled from the crowd seemingly ashamed.
George watched Willie leave thoughtfully, then looked at the children with concern and asked.
"Are you two okay?"
"Well, we're fine, Dad."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you don't want to dance, you can go for a walk in the yard with Dior and have a rest."
George nodded. After comforting Joannes, he turned and continued to entertain his friends.
Dio looked at the back of the man who fled in embarrassment and sneered. Just because of that kind of idiot, he also wants to get Jojo?He is the only one who can decide Jojo's fate.
He rearranged his bow tie and was about to continue to plunge into the suffocating dance when he suddenly heard Jojo beside him asking calmly, "I'm bored, do you want to go for a walk together? Dior."
"..."
Oh?
Jojo can't take it anymore?It seems that her stupid cousin really upset her...
It had never been in his plans to leave the ball for a walk with Jojo alone.
But Dio also wanted to breathe, and his teeth were sore from socializing with those old bastards.
"Ok."
At least Jojo is the only one among all the people here that makes him not hate so much.
In the end he took Joanice's hand and pulled her away from the center of the ball.
On Jojo's birthday, when he, as her older brother, Dio led her out, he found some unexpected people.
George invited not only his old friends, but besides George's adopted son, who he least wanted to see, there was another guy who was very obtrusive.
