Chapter 3224 A Different World
Remember [new] in one second! At noon on Monday, Xu Yue still attended the luncheon of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee hosted by Hibbert Hall, the eldest son of Earl Hall.
Although the main invitees this time are members of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, since it is in Loen, the nobles may not invite the royal family, but they will never forget the church they believe in.
Earl Hall's family happens to be devout believers of the goddess of the night.
In this case, regardless of whether the Church of the Night will arrange for someone to come over, an invitation letter will inevitably be given out of etiquette.
On the other hand, because of Xu Yue's aloof status as a non-staff member and his own stake in the Coim Company, which is rich in anthracite coal, he must also be invited.
Even if Xu Yue had not been closely related to the Church of the Night and was unsure of his own attitude, the committee would have even wanted to invite him to become one of the committee members.
If it were a party held by others, Xu Yue would sometimes be too lazy to attend, even if there were often such and such romantic encounters at the party, most of which were not as beautiful as the domestic maid.
But since he was invited to Earl Hall's house, Xu Yue thought it would be better to come over and show his face.
A girl like Miss Justice who can bring people full of vitality, no one would reject contact with her.
Earl Hall's mansion, even in Queens, is still considered magnificent. It covers an extremely large area and is fundamentally different from those townhouses or single-family houses with their own courtyards.
They are obviously in the same city, but they are like two worlds.
Every detail of the marble statues, pools, fountains, gardens, and lawns reveals the confidence of Earl Hall's family.
"Mr. Franklin, it's an honor to have you."
When Xu Yue got off the carriage of the Church of the Night, Hibbert Hall had already come to him with a smile on his face.
"Your family are all devout believers of the goddess, and I know the little angel in your family. I will participate in both public and private events."
It's just that Hibbert Hall, who had a calm expression on his face, his smile froze slightly after hearing Xu Yue mention his little angel.
Although he was still smiling, his eyes were already wary.
Although this Mr. Franklin has not been in Backlund for a long time, there are already some rumors.
Combining her outstanding abilities with her excellent appearance, coupled with her influence on the Church of the Night, she is extremely popular among that group of ladies and ladies.
Many of the banquets he participated in abruptly changed the reserved style of Loen Kingdom into the direct style of Intis.
In fact, if Mr. Franklin could be more reserved and reserved, and otherwise perfect, Hibbert Hall would really not mind him having contact with his sister.
Now that the power of the emerging nobles is gradually expanding, Hibbert Hall is not so rigid and will not mind whether the other party is a noble.
After all, with such achievements at such a young age, he will definitely get a title in the future. Even if he does not donate, for the sake of the Church of the Night, the Loen royal family will definitely have to make trade-offs and considerations.
But now, Hibbert Hall feels that he has to be on guard.
Today, the Earl Hall family no longer needs to rely on marriage to improve their status.
Although Audrey's target will be defined within a certain range, she is allowed to choose independently within the range. Obviously, this playboy in front of her cannot do it.
"As Chief Secretary, Mr. Hibbert must be very busy today. I'll just go in myself."
Xu Yue looked at this little brother who had wariness in his eyes but had to smile, and smiled casually.
"How is this possible? It's rare for Mr. Franklin to attend a banquet. I'll take you in."
When talking about this, Hibbert Hall thought more. Generally, the banquets attended by Mr. Franklin usually include some famous beauties.
This time, maybe he was just here for the little sister.
Damn it, we have to keep an eye on it.
At this moment, Starling Summer, who was dressed up in costume, accompanied by her husband Luke Summer, followed Lady Mary and got out of the carriage.
I happened to see Xu Yue being brought in by Hibbert Hall.
"Luke, look, is that Mr. Franklin?"
Starling asked sharply.
I have to say that even though I only met him once, Xu Yue's appearance left an impression easily.
"Yes, the gentleman who took him in was Mr. Hibbert Hall, the Chief Secret Master."
Before Luke could answer, Mrs. Mary spoke with some emotion.
She knew that Mr. Franklin was very energetic, but she did not expect that Hibbert Hall not only greeted him personally, but also sent him all the way in.
In a banquet like this, this kind of standard is rare.
Because Hibbert Hall, as the organizer, also needs to take care of the emotions of other guests, it can only be said that Mr. Franklin's energy is still beyond his imagination.
Mary thought of it, and the Summers naturally thought of it too.
Mrs. Summer even covered her mouth and let out a small exclamation.
Then I noticed the environment here and couldn't help but feel depressed immediately.
At this time, Mrs. Mary had no time to pay attention to the followers she had brought. After bringing the couple into the banquet, she hurriedly walked towards an acquaintance of hers, as if she wanted to ask for information.
Starling said to her husband hesitantly.
"Luke, my necklace doesn't match my skirt."
Luke, who had calmed down, shook his head and smiled.
“Honey, you’re so nervous.
"You don't need to worry at all. The nobles just live a little bigger and have better food than us. There is nothing wrong with us."
Starling seemed to have recovered under her husband's confident comfort.
Yes, haven't we already participated in a banquet of this level?
Last time at Mary's house, I had already met several members of the Backlund House and even Representative Loen.
Thinking of this, she seemed to be back to the past.
Entering the villa, they saw gorgeous crystal chandeliers, a hall where many people could dance, and plates of delicious food.
Foie gras, pan-fried keelfish, baked lobster, Ormere wine, and mist champagne were exactly as described in the magazine. Starling looked at the food curiously, thinking that if she saves money at home, she can also come here during the festival or New Year. Have such a meal.
Except for Ormere red wine and misty champagne, she added in her mind at the end.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly straightened and she saw a girl wearing a beige palace dress slowly walking towards her.
The girl was blond and extremely beautiful. She wore a pair of white silk gloves and a pair of small and beautiful emerald earrings. She had a pure and elegant temperament.
She really looks like an angel. Even though she has always been proud of her appearance, Starling couldn't help but praise her at this moment, feeling somewhat inferior for no reason.
"Hello," she greeted awkwardly with newly acquired etiquette.
"Hello." The girl returned the greeting gracefully.
After the two passed by each other, Starling accompanied her husband and Mary to get to know the distinguished guests at the banquet.
In particular, Mrs. Mary and Starling met Xu Yue once and took the initiative to greet him.
Although Xu Yue seemed a little out of place at the banquet, he stood alone in front of the dining table, selecting fresh food, and seemed to be commenting on something.
But his unique temperament and aura are still like the center, and people who have never been in contact with him dare not rush forward to disturb him.
"Hello, Mr. Franklin, we meet again."
Luke bravely went to greet them first.
"Oh, I remember you. You are little Charlotte's neighbor. My fellow countryman has caused you trouble."
Xu Yue put down the plate and elegantly stretched out his hand to shake Luke's hand, which made Luke feel a little flattered.
As the company's major shareholder, Mary finally had the opportunity to talk to this new shareholder, and she couldn't help but feel even more satisfied with her capable manager.
This made Starlin next to her feel even more confident.
Is this the top noble banquet? We can also talk and laugh here, but that’s it~
Then, with this vague sense of superiority, she walked onto the balcony alone, intending to relax her mood.
Unexpectedly, I found the angelic girl from before here.
She was looking at the scenery outside, and a large golden retriever dog squatted obediently next to her shoes decorated with ribbon roses.
"It's so cute." Starling looked for a topic.
The girl responded with a slight smile.
"Thank you for the compliment on Susie's behalf."
Looking at the combination of the beautiful girl and the big golden retriever, Starling suddenly felt that she should have a similar pet. She should be able to allocate part of her annual income of 430 pounds to the pet.
This would show the dignity of the Summer family, she asked thoughtfully.
"I heard that nobles would tame a lot of hounds, is this it?"
"Yes."
The girl whose blue eyes were more charming than the gemstones in her earrings nodded lightly.
“I don’t know how many gold pounds it costs to buy one.”
Starling asked with a smile.
The pure and elegant girl looked down at the big golden retriever dog, smiled and replied nonchalantly.
"450 pounds."
