[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore
Chapter 44
A few people did it very politely in the living room.The butler brought black tea, but Skye and Elsie's attention was still on Anwen.
After the tea came, Skye sighed and told all the servants around to leave the living room.
The room fell silent, and the pendulum of the wall clock on the wall made a ticking sound like a rhythmic instrument.Anwen also looked at Skye very seriously, and an atmosphere of memories was brewing among the three of them.
"You have to let me know what happened in these years!" Skye said to Anwen first: "I still call you Mr. Ante?"
"Just call me Ant, even though that's just my middle name now."
"Middle name?... Didn't you say you're going to let Elsie inherit the 'Anter' family!" Skye realized something.This made her tone a little hasty.
"A language trap. Skye, you are very smart, and you always use some small methods to mislead you." Anwen tapped the table with his index finger, "As the host, won't you pour me tea?"
Skye took a deep breath, picked up the teapot with some reluctance, and poured Anwen a cup of tea.
"You suddenly appeared and did such a thing to Elsie. Then you must at least explain your intention!" Skye pushed the black tea in front of Anwen, swallowing his anger.
Anwen didn't answer right away.His eyes lingered on the tray on the table—the number of teacups displayed on it was somewhat subtle.
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Anwen's mouth: "It seems that you have prepared a repertoire? I don't know if I will be lucky enough to see anything."
There are four teacups on the table.And there were only three people present.This was obviously not a careless mistake.
Elsie still doesn't understand what kind of maneuvers are being played between her sister and brother. What can a cup explain?Nor did he hear that Skye had other guests.
But Elsie immediately saw Skye's cold face, and at the same time heard Skye say: "It's just a lesson for those who do something wrong. There is a security hole around Elsie. Now that I found it, then I think I have Obligation to make good repairs.”
As if to confirm Skye's words.The butler then brought in two guests.
When Elsie saw the guest, her eyes widened in surprise.But after being surprised, he looked at Skye and Anwen a little restlessly, not knowing what to say to the guests.
Elsie knew two people who walked into the room, and neither did Skye.
The older one was wearing a preppy suit and tie in a conservative, old-fashioned color, but everything was expensive.His hairline definitely did not live up to his status as a scholar, and the perennial pampering and staying out of things gave this gentleman a kind of incompatibility.
In other words, although the elder tried his best to appear righteous and irrelevant, he still felt a little guilty after seeing the solemn faces of Skye and Anwen.
Walking behind the elder is a person dressed as a student.His condition didn't look very good, the thick black eyes and the bloodshot eyes made him look decadent.Although the clothes on his body were decent, the size was a little too big. Obviously, the owner of the clothes had lost weight recently.
After two people walked in.Anwen made an exaggerated, suddenly enlightened expression.
Although his expression annoyed the professor from Oxford, he still held back the uncomfortable feeling, humbly apologized to Skye and said: "Before we received the letter from Earl Morgan, we felt sorry for Al Elsie had some prejudice. Therefore, after finding out who caused the incident, Ben had reason to apologize to Elsie in person."
This is the power of power.
Skye smiled.She has every reason to believe that if the solution she chooses is not to go through Earl Morgan, but to go to the school to make a big fuss, God knows, it will really be useless.
Appropriate use of some methods and relationships in the circle is obviously of great help to maintain a happy mood.
Skye didn't put on airs to make the professor feel uncomfortable.On the contrary, Skye went against the original intention of looking for trouble, and said sincerely and tolerantly: "I am really touched that you can come here in person. Therefore, I also... have more trust and gratitude for your school's educational philosophy. Please sit down first , have a cup of black tea, we can talk about this issue slowly."
Skye's last cup was obviously used to entertain a guest as Anwen said.As for the senior Elsie once trusted very much, he could only stand alone next to the professor, as if invisible, and no one paid attention.
Elsie glanced at Ben awkwardly, and he quickly withdrew his gaze under Ben's venomous eyes.
Both Skye and Unwin saw the interaction between the two students.Their facial expressions are almost completely similar, and there are no clues - this kind of power of blood makes two people who did not grow up in the same place look exactly the same.
"You are so magnanimous. I heard... that you still have the intention of donating to the school?" The professor relaxed.He also didn't pay much attention to Ben beside him, it was all because he thought all this was over.
"It does. But I guess it should be left to Elsie to do it herself after graduation...I think he'd be happy to do that, but even if I wanted to donate early, there's nothing I can do about it."
"You have a good relationship with Lord Morgan..."
"I think we should talk about Mr. Ben's problem." Skye interrupted his politeness, as if she had just noticed that there was another person standing in the room, she said relaxedly: "Abducting juniors is not the responsibility of seniors." and character. I suppose the gentleman is willing to apologize for his ignorance."
"Elsie, I beg your forgiveness." Ben who was named restrained his resentful expression.He puts on a pitiful look, seeking forgiveness from Skye and Elsie.
"...I... I'm fine." Elsie saw Ben's eyes.He feels a little wronged that Skye just asked for an apology from his senior, and at the same time, he is still vaguely uneasy about Ben's actual attitude.
"That's the way to make up!" Skye clapped his hands happily. "I knew that the conflicts between teenagers were at best some misunderstandings."
Her words made the professor's and Ben's expressions relax a little.Elsie was a little worried, but Anwen showed a knowing smile - he obviously understood what kind of game Skye was playing, so he sat and watched the show without saying a word.
"In this case..." the professor tried to conclude.
"In this case..." Skye took over the professor's words, and she looked at Ben with some worries, "I want to ask this gentleman where he will finish his studies in the future."
Huh?finish education?Haven't you already forgiven me?
Ben's relaxed expression froze on his face, and along with his pale expression, it became full of fear.
Even the professor was very surprised and said: "I thought you had forgiven him."
"But the school hasn't punished it yet." It was Anwen who spoke this time.He took the time to say to the professor: "I am Elsie's brother. Although I graduated from Cambridge..."
Ben realized he was being played!The professor was forced into a dead end by Anwen's words.Why can't people in Cambridge watch the excitement of Oxford, can't they?
He looked at Skye and Anwen hesitantly, thinking that it would be easier for Skye who didn't speak to make a breakthrough.
"Then what does Miss Holt think?... He's still a child after all."
"I am very worried about Ben's future. I hope he can complete his studies in other schools, or inherit his father's career. I remember that his family has some handicraft workshops...you don't have to worry about making a living."
Skye also leaves little room for Ben.Even from the beginning, Skye was the one to make Ben untenable.
She had planned well to give Ben a bad look in front of An Wen.This is to show off his interpersonal relationship and warn Anwen not to think about it.Secondly, Anwen hired Ben to do bad things, and it was good for him to see how he was slapped in the face.
Unexpectedly, Anwen showed an attitude of being in the same camp as her from the very beginning, which made Skye's deployment useless and made her extremely angry.
Under such circumstances, Ben and the professor, who were just ordinary and unlucky, took on the question of two brothers and sisters.There was a natural tacit understanding between Skye and Anwen as the words came and went.So much so that before the conversation ended, Ben was expelled from the school for sure.
Elsie looked at the words swaying back and forth, and he clearly saw that the professor who was usually free and easy in school, with outstanding eloquence, was constantly sweating down his face.But Skye, who he thought was not good at communicating with people, seemed to be a different person, with a brilliant tongue, turning people upside down when talking and laughing.
"Then it's decided. Although I feel very sorry..." The professor finally gave up communicating with the two.Skye knew powerful people, and Mr. Unwin also kept a secret.If he saw an unattractive villa when he arrived here along the address, and thought that Holt's house was better managed, he would definitely not think so at this time.
The two brothers and sisters in front of them obviously have received good higher education.Allusions in the history of literature came out casually. If I hadn't also studied these, I'm afraid I wouldn't have heard some of the cursing words in them.
Skye was a little annoyed when he heard the professor's tone.Of course she expected this. Considering that Elsie was still going to study in Oxford, there were still things that Skye couldn't take care of, so she couldn't offend the professor too much.
Skye picked up a decorative box from the coffee table beside him and handed it to Elsie's professor.
"Please come here. I heard that you like astrology very much. This book is obviously not of much use to me, but I think you can make it flourish..."
The professor left Holt's house contentedly, and Ben, who was walking behind him, looked ashamed.But after experiencing the Holt family's family style, he didn't dare to stare at Elsie casually.
The episode arranged for Anwen did not achieve the expected effect of dismounting Mawei.
Instead, Elsie looked terrified.
He didn't seem to have recovered, staring blankly at the place where the professor left. After a while, Elsie realized that both Skye and Anwen were looking at him.
"This... is this the end?"
"Obviously yes. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Anwen answered Elsie gently.
"No... that's not what I meant. I was just thinking, is this too harsh? After all..." Didn't you kidnap me?The senior is just following your command.
Elsie thought so.But when he looked at Skye, Skye didn't mean to blame Anwen.Elsie couldn't help wondering if she was wrong.
"I think this is already a very tolerant approach. Other things in the business world are much more cruel... Even today's things are not as simple as you seem. You can think about how your professor will treat you Skye is so polite, how much homework Skye has done for you to have such an effect."
Anwen enjoyed the black tea comfortably. He sat comfortably on the sofa and taught Elsie some interpersonal knowledge.
Skye also listened quietly, and did not express support or objection.
Wait for Anwen to finish speaking.Skye said with Elsie's silly expression: "You know I arranged for that student to come over. Or does the Earl have any cooperation relationship with you?"
During the silence just now, Skye carefully considered some neglected possibilities.One of the things that made her regret the most was that she obviously underestimated her elder brother.
Anwen nodded reservedly.Appreciatively said, "Indeed."
"I don't understand, what benefit did you give him?" Skye frowned.
"You can give him money, but what I give him is power."
"You and that Duke..." Skye finally lost her composure, staring at Anwen's expression when she said this.
Anwen nodded in satisfaction, and he praised, "If you're not a girl... you can go further." His words made Skye frown. "I am the Duke's adopted son, and the Duke has no other children besides me."
After so many years and so much painstaking effort, Anwen gained a firm foothold by the Duke's side.If it wasn't for sure that there was no danger, Anwen would never want to contact Skye for the rest of his life.
The vortex at the center of power is frightening.
After the tea came, Skye sighed and told all the servants around to leave the living room.
The room fell silent, and the pendulum of the wall clock on the wall made a ticking sound like a rhythmic instrument.Anwen also looked at Skye very seriously, and an atmosphere of memories was brewing among the three of them.
