[Zhongyingmei] Good men are to be robbed!

Leaving the two of them behind, Carl held out his hand to Brianna, speaking gracefully. "Hope I'll be lucky enough to invite you to a dance?"

"Of course." Briana replied.

This is a slow dance, the dance music is gentle and lingering.

The two were very close, sliding their dance steps slowly, whispering in low voices, and accompanied by the music, a hazy and beautiful atmosphere lingered between them.

"Yes, Amy is very naughty, and is always running around with shoes in her mouth. I even found one in her den once."

"I came here by boat, the Anthony, which is very spacious and comfortable. It was a kind of enjoyment. The night sky at night is very beautiful!"

"No, it's not scary. It's so beautiful when you lie on the balcony and think you can reach the stars!"

"Looking at the sea from a boat is completely different from the land. The endless deep sea is as beautiful and intoxicating as... your eyes!"

The music just stopped, and for a while, the two looked at each other motionless.A passer-by accidentally touched Brianna, and when she came back to her senses, her face was flushed, and she lowered her head to hide the shyness in her eyes: "I should go find my sister, excuse me, Mr. Hockley."

Watching Brianna leaving in a little panic, Carl had a smile in his eyes and a relaxed expression.

"Is it very hot? Your face is very red." Yin Winni was holding a goblet. She noticed the dance between Briana and Mr. Hockley and the unusual atmosphere between them. "Have a good chat?"

Brianna nodded, her face was flushed like a peach blossom, and her pair of sea-blue eyes were wet, and she was moved at first sight.

Yin Wenni sighed in her heart, she seemed not to care and said: "But I just heard that Mr. Hockley will settle in the United States after getting married."

"His family business is in the United States!" Looking at Brianna's face of "what's so strange", Yin Wenni gritted her teeth secretly, and continued, "Of course it's nothing strange! I just heard that that Mr. Hockley has a plan to propose to that Miss Buckett. It is said that he is negotiating the business and debts of the Buckett family recently, and he probably plans to eat up the debt in exchange for the beauty's heart. That is a lot of money! "

"How many?" Brianna asked curiously.

Brianna compared the numbers: "Over £500 million."

"So much shortfall?" Brianna asked in surprise.

"What's so strange about this?" Yin Wenni said with a normal face, "Those people stick to their old ways, can't make money, and want to save face and maintain the luxury of the past. There are too many!" No, why did she lead this little guy astray? !Yin Wenni brought the topic back: "Mr. Hockley is sincere enough to be able to spend this amount!"

Brianna nodded, not sure if she understood.

Abel Darcy arrived in London at the end of November. In addition to negotiating business, he also spent Christmas in London with his two younger sisters.

"Oh my god, it's another art exhibition!" Opening the invitation letter, Brianna threw the letter on the table with a look of "loveless", "This is the fifth letter I have received this month! It's all about seeing art exhibitions." Don't you have any other entertainment besides painting!"

"The new gallery opened by the Countess of Hughes is said to be exhibiting many famous works, and many people are flocking to it!" Yin Wenni took a long look and said, "This is also a kind of social interaction, and it may not be boring."

"No, no!" Brianna turned her face away and refused, "I would rather listen to a concert than stand for an hour or two looking at a few paintings! No matter how beautiful it is!"

Abel shook his head straight, pampering and helpless towards his younger sister, "Yin Wenni, she is just a little fool with no artistic talent, it would be nice if she can put on a show!"

"Who said that, I obviously play the piano very well!" Brianna said unconvinced, "I just don't like to stand and look at a painting for a long time, the most terrifying thing is that someone always comes up to ask you something about this painting How about a painting!"

Abel and Yin Winnie laughed happily. Abel touched Brianna's head and said, "There was not only an art exhibition that day, but also an auction. It is said that there are many good things. You have been bored at home for so long, and it will take a long time." Mushrooms!"

"I'm a big mushroom, I'll eat you!" Brianna gesticulated with her hands on her head, shaking from side to side, pretending to be a mushroom to scare them.

The two were overjoyed, and Abel looked helpless: "Okay! What a girl, how can anyone dare to marry you like you!"

"Hmph!" Brianna pouted, sat down next to Abel, and coquettishly held his arm, "Brother, you will buy me something that day, right?"

Being able to go to the auction house would definitely be worth a lot, and Brianna felt that her small coffers were far from enough.

"One piece!"

"Two pieces!"

"One piece!"

"Two pieces!"

"One piece!"

"Hmph, just one piece!"

Yin Wenni: "...Suddenly I feel that it feels good to be the master of the house, and I can buy as much as I want!"

"Cousin! Can you have fun!" Brianna rushed over and said frantically.

It was her college classmate Sandra Blomfield, the daughter of a lawyer, who invited Brianna.The art exhibition is in the morning and the auction is in the afternoon.Therefore, Brianna and Winnie went to appointments together in the morning and reunited with Abel in the afternoon.

"It's not easy to meet you, Brianna." Sandra is a warm and cheerful girl, and she gave Brianna a big hug as soon as she met.

"No, I've been a little busy recently, so I'm here!" Brianna hugged Sandra back, and introduced her, "This is my cousin, Winnie White."

"Hello, Miss White." The moment Sandra saw the silver mask, doubts flashed in Sandra's eyes, but she controlled her curiosity very well and said naturally.

"Hello, just call me Yin Wenni." Yin Wenni had a good first impression of this knowledgeable and interesting girl, and she was Brianna's good friend because she was very gentle.

"Yin Wenni, you can call me by my name too."

After the few people were polite at the door, they walked into the gallery together.The Countess of Hughes is a well-known elegant person, and the visitors to the salon she runs are all talented and famous young people. The art exhibition held this time also attracted a lot of appreciation.

The paintings exhibited this time are mainly modernist paintings, including Fauvism with heavy ink and color and extensive brushwork, Cubism with abstract expression methods, and metaphysics with static and silent forms.

"I thought it was just a traditional art exhibition." Brianna whispered with a blank face after entering the venue.

"Countess Hughes is always forward." Sandra smiled awkwardly. She seemed to have caught a glimpse of a nude portrait just now.

"Pay attention to your expression, Anna." Only Yin Wenni's face remained unchanged, smiling all the way.

"Is that... is that a naked man?" Brianna exclaimed in a low voice, and the two of them covered her mouth tacitly.

Yin Winni subconsciously followed Brianna's eyes. Maybe her cousin didn't like Mr. Hockley, otherwise, why would she first notice the painting on the wall instead of Mr. Hockley and Bucket who seemed to be arguing in front of the painting? Miss?This was Yin Wenni's first thought.

"I really don't see its value, Ruth, if you really like it, I can buy it for you, but obviously it can't be shown to customers." Carl raised his forehead and said weakly, he really didn't understand, Why would Ruth, a girl, appreciate a nude painting?

"This is the difference between me and you!" Ruth was angry, with a touch of disdain in her tone.

"Oops!" Brianna said suddenly, bending over to touch her calf through her skirt.

"Sorry, I didn't pay attention, are you okay?" Sandra even apologized, but she was also surprised and didn't pay attention.

"No, no." I just stepped on my heel, but it was not too heavy.However, the three of them approached unknowingly, apparently interrupting their conversation.

"Sandra Blomfield." Ruth knew her, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She raised her chin slightly and looked at them with displeasure. "Didn't you go to the etiquette class at school?"

Sandra's complexion is not good, and they didn't eavesdrop on purpose.It's not that she doesn't know Ruth's temper, she has an arrogant temper, but she has no bad intentions, if she doesn't feel that she is seen as embarrassed, she won't be so mean when she speaks, but if it's only her, she can bear it, but the two people on the side A person's background is not something that can be easily offended.

"It's said that nobles are declining. I see that it's not just family property that's fallen, but also education." Yin Wenni shook her head lightly, as if feeling casually, and didn't look at Ruth, she just pulled Brianna and said, "Are you tired? Would you like to sit in the restaurant for a while?"

Brianna glanced at Carl, and saw that although his expression was not very good, he still nodded to her, and then said to Yin Winnie, "Well, I'm a little thirsty, Sandra, what would you like to have?"

The three ignored Ruth and walked towards the restaurant.

Ruth was furious!She was annoyed at the fact that her words had been too offensive, but also annoyed by the blatant ignorance of the three.

"Luth, you should pay attention to your attitude. Those two come from unusual backgrounds. One is the only daughter of an earl who has the right to inherit, and the other is a much-loved viscountess. Her family is rich and her influence is not small." Carl It's a headache. If Ruth wants to take on the title of Mrs. Hockley, even if she doesn't help him build relationships, she can't offend people so recklessly.

But it didn't sound like that to Ruth.This is to remind her that even though she is also a young lady with a noble title, her worth is far inferior to others!So is she going to bow down and smile servilely to them?Don't think about it!Ruth looked at Carl coldly. If her mother hadn't forced her, she would never have been with this powerful man who only knew about money!

Ruth turns away, leaving Carl alone.It's not the first time anyway, is it?

"Well, do you really want to buy this painting?" A weak voice came from behind, and Carl turned around and fell into a pair of blue eyes as deep as the sea.
