My years as a menswear boss
Chapter 109
Jiqiu returned to the House of Lords to start her work. She is now a golden bachelor all over London, and her colleagues who work with her send endless ball invitations.
It was said to be a dance party, but it was actually a blind date meeting where a bunch of noble men and women got together, and she turned it down on the grounds of being busy with work.
"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Barton asked subconsciously, looking at the young man in the office who was slumped on the sofa without any demeanor.
"Well, I have a headache." Jiqiu sat up from the sofa, rubbed his eyes, put away the monocle on his face, "what are you doing here?"
"Your friend wrote you a letter." Barton handed over the small tray in his hand.
Jiqiu tore up the letter with a knife, omitted a long list of greetings, and scanned through the ten lines at a glance, "Bingley and the others are coming to London."
"How could it be? Hasn't he already decided to settle down in Longbourne, and he has almost started talking about marriage with Miss Bennet?" Barton took the letter from Jiqiu, feeling a little confused for a moment.
"I don't know, I plan to visit in a few days." Jiqiu got up and sat at the desk and began to write a reply, with a vague premonition in her heart.
This premonition came true until she saw Bentley a few days later.
Jiqiu looked at Bentley, who was drinking away his worries, and wrote 'Broken Love' from head to toe.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, how did you end up in this situation?" Jiqiu reached out and took the bottle from Bentley's hand, and put it on the table beside him.
"I was wrong, Hyde." Bingley shook his head. "She doesn't love me. In her eyes, I am the same as all men, except that there is a little special...but I sadly have no hesitation."
"Are you kidding?" Jiqiu frowned, "Anyone can tell that Miss Bennet sees you as unique, and she is really looking forward to marrying you, my friend."
"No, I'm the only one looking forward to it." Bingley drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and now he felt that someone had punched his heart hard.
At the same time, Jane of Longbourne received a second letter from Miss Bingley, and she instantly died of despair, "Liz, he will not come back again."
"I will also slowly forget about him and continue to start a new life."
"Jane, you are really too kind. Mr. Bingley's sisters have seen that you are in love with Mr. Bingley, but they want him to marry Miss Darcy. Then you wrote such a letter that made you feel that Mr. Bingley didn't care You." Elizabeth held Jane's hand, and she felt that Jane's hand was so cold.
"I never doubted Mr. Bingley's feelings for you, at least everyone I met believed that you were in love with each other.
Miss Bingley has always looked down on our family background. The reason why she insists on breaking up you is for this day. If you give up at this time, then her plan will succeed. "
"Dear Liz, even if you think about the good, Mr. Bingley really falls in love with me, but his sister wants him to marry another lady. How can our marriage be happy?" Jane's eyes were moist, and she wiped it with a handkerchief. I rolled my eyes.
"Then you should make your own choice. If you feel that being disgusted by Mr. Bingley's sisters is more painful than being unable to marry Mr. Bingley, I hope you can give up Mr. Bingley and choose a better man." Elizabeth said softly.
She looked at her weeping sister and tried to smile, "Jane, you can visit Uncle and Aunt Gardiner in the city, they will be very happy for your arrival, and you can spend a wonderful time there Christmas."
"Will you go with me, Liz?" Jane noticed that her sister was in a bad mood, and she couldn't help hugging her aloud, "I'm sorry that I made you feel bad by saying that night."
"No, you just told me the whole truth. I'm the one who's really sorry about it."
Elizabeth rested her chin on Jane's shoulder as she slowly thought back to the night after the ball at Mireland House.
Jane hesitated to tell her the information she had received. The Mr. Hyde in Mr. Bingley's mouth was perfect, and he was the complete opposite of the man in Mr. Wickham's mouth.
"Mr. Bingley said that Mr. Hyde was very independent since he was a child. His father was not a family man. He hardly saw his father a few times a year. He even had many half-brothers." Jane pulled Elizabeth's hand said.
Elizabeth was shocked by Jane's words, "I remember someone said that Earl Collenladen was only married once, and his wife is the current Countess, Mr. Hyde's mother, so isn't Mr. Hyde's half-brother?"
Aristocratic flair is regarded as commonplace in the upper class, but the existence of illegitimate children is disgraceful, and the entire family is ashamed of it, let alone the kind of illegitimate children that are publicized openly.
"I think I might be very wrong." Elizabeth paced anxiously in the bedroom, she clenched her skirt tightly, "I should go and apologize to Mr. Hyde, it's so ungrateful for me to think of him like that, He obviously helped us a lot."
Just when Elizabeth decided to meet next time to apologize to the young man, she learned that the young man had returned to London.
"You don't have to blame yourself for this, it's not your fault, Liz." Jane said looking at her sister.
"But I did something wrong after all, and I should be responsible for it." Elizabeth shook her head, pressed Jane's shoulder and said.
Jane smiled softly, "Then you should go to London with me, maybe you can meet Mr. Hyde."
Elizabeth looked at her naive sister, and didn't think she had the luck to meet Mr. Hyde, but in order to comfort her, she agreed to Jane's request.
"I don't think it admirable to spoil a friend's love, Darcy."
Jiqiu glared at Darcy, she glanced at the sluggish Bentley next to her, stood on the coffee table with a passionate expression and pointed at Darcy, "You are so hateful, you are a villain who breaks up lovers, do you know how to do this in the world?" There are two more heartbroken people!"
Darcy glanced at the young man who was looking down at him, and said calmly, "Aren't you tired standing on the coffee table? You have given a long speech there."
"Perhaps your new position has made you used to being taller than others before you can start a long speech?"
Jiqiu jumped off the coffee table with a blank expression, she raised her head slightly and looked at her brother, "Even if I sit, you are still an expert in dismantling marriages."
"Did you know that after you left, Bingley's attentions to Miss Bennet became known to everyone, and he had a special liking for Miss Bennet, and he preferred Miss Bennet more than any other lady.
And Miss Bennet treated Bingley no differently than any other partner.Of course, I don't think Miss Bennet felt anything for Bentley.
But the two people's contribution to each other is not equal, she just accepted Bentley's overtures, and did not do anything to express her love for Bentley.
I don't think she's close enough to be emotionally attached to my friend.Then I remind in time, Bentley will end the pain earlier. "
Darcy covered Jiqiu's mouth and said, only in this way would he not let the young man go back with every sentence.
Jiqiu pulled his hand away, "Darcy, not everyone who likes others will show it in their behavior. If you like someone, your eyes can't deceive people. I firmly believe that Miss Bennet's feelings for Bingley are no more than Bingley's feelings for her. less affection.
She is a reserved and polite lady, she will be shy even if she is slightly teased by others.How could she show love to Bingley in an open and honest manner? "
"But you ignore that she is a calm person. Even if she is sincere, she will make compromises because of reality. Think about her family, her parents, her sister, everything is so stupid.
Even if you enter into marriage because of love, this friendship will be worn away because of trivial life, and a marriage that is not well matched cannot be happy. said Darcy softly.
"A person's life is so short, it is a kind of luck to have it, and you have no right to influence other people's marriage." Jiqiu said, "Is all this what you want to see?"
"You can't see what Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst are thinking, can you? In my opinion, their personalities are not very suitable."
"You really oversimplify everything. If you fall in love with a commoner girl, then look at your family, what will your social circle think of you!" Darcy raised his voice dissatisfied.
"If there is such a day, I will change the norms of this society." Jiqiu frowned and responded.
After hearing this, Darcy couldn't help pressing Jiqiu's head with his hands, and looked at her without blinking, "You don't really fall in love with a certain lady, do you?"
"Darcy, you should ask yourself this question. You should first care about the girl in your mind. In her eyes, you are already heinous, no matter what aspect it is." Ji Qiuhui open his hand.
Hearing the two friends fighting each other, Bingley became even more irritable. He said a few words that he wanted to leave but was not heard, so he had to leave the living room by himself.
At night, Bingley was lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling. As soon as he closed his eyes, Jane Bennet's gentle and beautiful face appeared, and his heart was very blocked.I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.
Bentley looked at himself in a magnificent palace. He curiously observed the mural above his head. A small sound came from his ear, and he looked towards the place where the sound was transmitted.
A young man in a Greek white robe was knitting something with his back crossed to him.
"Hi, may I ask." Bingley couldn't help interrupting him.Hearing the sound, the boy turned his head, looked at the familiar face, and couldn't help being surprised, "Hyde, why are you here?!"
"Why can't I be here?" The boy looked at him dissatisfiedly, and put the garland woven of olive branches on his head, "I still want to ask why you are here?"
Bentley watched in horror as his friend stood up. There was a pair of white wings behind his formerly handsome friend and a halo above his head, "Why did you become an angel?!"
"I am an angel responsible for solving troubles. You might as well tell me what troubles you have." The boy flapped his little wings and flew in front of him.
Facing his friend who was exactly like his friend, Bingley blurted out the troubles in his heart. He explained his feelings in detail, and finally looked at the boy asking for help, "What should I do?"
"Hmm... that's a good question." The little angel clapped her hands, "In my opinion, although you already look like Miss Bennet in the eyes of others, you still keep a proper distance from her in private. People who are indecisive will not be happy! You should be more decisive!"
"Then I should go back, return to Longbourn, and express my heart to Miss Bennet in person. Even if she rejects me, I will not regret it." Bingley said, looking at the boy's face.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Bingley turned around and was shocked again. Another friend of his, Darcy, was wearing a black tuxedo with a wooden gas tank pinned to his waist, "Darcy, why are you here?!"
"I'm here to prevent you from being deceived by this smooth talker. He only cares about the momentary enjoyment and doesn't think about the future at all." Darcy touched the wooden warehouse at his waist.
"Oh? Do you want everyone to be as boring as you all the time?" The boy flew in front of Darcy and said expressionlessly.
Bingley looked at the two friends, and for a moment began to feel troubled again. Both of them were right, but which one should he trust?
"What are you doing?!" Darcy's surprised voice interrupted Bentley's thinking.
He raised his head and saw that the little angel had snatched away the wooden warehouse at some point, and was pointing at Darcy with the wooden warehouse, "Hyde, calm down!"
"Heh, if you want to break them up, go to hell!" The boy pulled the trigger, and with a bang, a bloody flower exploded.
Bingley looked at the little angel whose face was covered in blood, and he looked at another fallen friend on the ground in disbelief, "You."
"You should know who to listen to." The young man smiled and pressed the wooden warehouse against his chest.
"I know what to do!" Bentley raised his hands subconsciously.
The little angel smiled and nodded, then took the wooden warehouse and knocked on his head.
"Hmm." Bingley woke up covering his head. He turned on the bedside lamp and saw a wooden bird next to his pillow, which was the culprit that woke him up. "What is this?"
Soon he knew that the clock on the left wall started to strike the time, and every time the bird popped up, it disappeared, and it was obviously the one in his hand.
'Find someone to replace it tomorrow. Bingley thought as he lay on the bed in despair. He recalled the dream he had just had, and the retro murals in it had blurred in his mind, but the image of Hyde looking at him with blood on his face and smiling was still unforgettable.
'very scary……'
It was said to be a dance party, but it was actually a blind date meeting where a bunch of noble men and women got together, and she turned it down on the grounds of being busy with work.
"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Barton asked subconsciously, looking at the young man in the office who was slumped on the sofa without any demeanor.
"Well, I have a headache." Jiqiu sat up from the sofa, rubbed his eyes, put away the monocle on his face, "what are you doing here?"
"Your friend wrote you a letter." Barton handed over the small tray in his hand.
