"We don't have a common language." Annia indifferently looked at Dean and continued: "If it wasn't for your mother who cured my father's illness, we wouldn't have any contact at all. But don't think that you can climb up to our family because of this kindness. I, Annia, will never find an incompetent husband who will make me lose face."
"Although you try to imitate elegance and cultivation, but in front of a real aristocrat, I can see the root of your bad habits at a glance! Commoners are commoners. You don't have the blood of the aristocracy flowing in your bones. No matter how much you learn, you can't hide your poverty and rudeness. "
Annia coldly looked at Dean: "Although your appearance is very clean and different from those dirty and smelly workers in the residential district, but it's nothing strange. They don't know where they found you. They thought that I would take a fancy to you and let you marry into our Avril family. Then they would be able to live in the commercial district. What a joke!"
"My father was polite to them, but they don't respect themselves. This is the gap between commoners and nobles. They don't know the importance of it!"
Dean quietly looked at her and waited for her to finish.
Annia saw that there was no change in Dean's calm expression. She couldn't help but frown, but soon her face turned cold again: "You may not understand what I said, but it doesn't matter. You just need to know that you are not worthy of me. I won't let you be my husband. If you want to marry into our Avril family, you and your adoptive parents had better give up. Otherwise, I will not let you live in the residential district."
Dean quietly looked at her: "Are you finished?"
Annia sneered: "I'm finished. Say what you want to say."
Dean smiled and looked directly into her eyes: "First of all, I have to say thank you."
An Niya was stunned and a little stunned.
Dean didn't pay attention to her reaction: "First, thank you for refusing me. So that I can avoid the humiliation of marrying into your family. My father said that this is the basic bottom line of a man. Thank you for helping me." The father he was talking about was his strict, erudite and gentle father.
Annia was puzzled. Didn't your father humbly want to put you into our family?
"Second, thank you." Dean said: "Thank you for letting me know that even a little girl like you can't be ignored."
Annia's eyebrows twitched. She was precocious since childhood. She had planned her future when she was eight or nine years old. She was completely different from the children around her. She didn't expect to hear such an old-fashioned tone from the mouth of a child who was a few years younger than her. It was as if she was facing her childhood playmates.
When she was ready to speak, Dean had already turned around and was ready to leave. Before leaving, he thought of something. He paused for a moment but didn't look back. It seemed that he was talking to himself: "Perhaps, I don't know the horsemanship and swordsmanship that you mentioned. I can't learn the manners and manners of nobles. But I have ideals and pursuits!" His voice fell and he left along the original road.
Only when his figure disappeared from Annia's sight did Annia react. She did not expect that this little commoner did not wait for her and dared to leave first. A surge of anger surged in her heart. Since young, she had cultivated a good temperament, so she rarely got angry. However, at this moment, she felt a ball of anger burning in her heart. Rather than anger, it was more like grievance. She gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and followed up. Maintaining a ladylike posture, she followed at the fastest speed.
When Dean returned to the corner of the concert hall, he heard Annia walking quickly behind him. Her walking posture was still elegant. He paused but didn't look back. When Annia came behind him, he opened his mouth: "If the adults ask, you can say that you already have someone else in your heart."
Annia was about to question him when she heard his words. She couldn't help but sulk: "Why do I have to say it? I want you to go back and tell your adoptive parents that I don't like you. Let them give up on this idea."
Dudian indifferently said: "If I didn't guess wrong, your father should agree to this marriage. But you don't agree. In other words, as long as I agree, it can be done. Am I right?"
Annia's face suddenly turned white. What Dean said was right. Her father did agree to this marriage. She and her mother came out today to put pressure on Gray couple so that they would give up on this idea.
"You, how do you know?"
"You told me." Dudian lightly said: "If you have the choice, you can refuse this marriage in a simple sentence. There is no need to talk so much or even threaten me. Moreover, I think your mother is a bit too straightforward. So there must be something fishy about it. You can't directly refuse my adoptive parents, so you want to start with me. "
Annia was shocked. Dudian said almost word for word. It was as if he had heard the discussion between her and her mother in advance. For a time, she suddenly felt that she couldn't see through the little boy. His calmness and calmness were something that even a teenager wouldn't have. However, she didn't regret her choice. After a moment of silence, she said: "If I open my mouth, I'm afraid that your adoptive parents will find my father."
Dudian slightly shook his head: "No, as long as you refuse, this matter will be over. Things are very simple. It's just that you think it's complicated."
"How do you know that?" Annia frowned. She didn't like Dudian's confident tone.
Dudian knew that she wasn't convinced. He could only patiently explain: "You overestimate their courage and underestimate their self-esteem. They are just trying their luck and don't expect too much."
Annia frowned and thought for a moment: "Then I'll directly say that I don't like you. Why would I say that I have other admirers? I don't have any."
Dudian rolled his eyes: "Aren't you a noble? Don't you know that you have to be tactful? How could they put their faces if they said that directly? "
Annia looked at him and suddenly snorted: "Are you afraid that if I say so, they will think that you didn't perform well in front of me. So they will vent their anger on you?"
Dudian wasn't embarrassed as he was seen through. He lightly said: "Anyway, I have taught you. What do you want to say? But you are responsible for the consequences!" He walked out from the corner and went towards the concert hall.
"You …" Annia looked at his back. She was so angry that she finally stomped her feet and followed.
"Miss, you are back." The youth in black suit saw Dudian and Annia appear. He was relieved and smiled.
Annia was worthy of being a noble. In just a few steps, the anger on her face had completely calmed down. She gently nodded and walked into the hall.
…
…
The carriage with the white flower flag flew from the commercial district into the residential district. It stopped in front of 108 Lincoln Street. Dudian family of three got off the carriage. The coachman shook the whip and the carriage rushed away.
Jura glanced at her husband's gloomy face. She took Dudian to open the door.
"It's just an excuse!"
"It's obvious that they despise our status. Nobles? I finally understand. They're just a bunch of hypocritical and arrogant fellows!"
At home, Gray vented his frustrations.
Jura quickly said: "Shh, lower your voice. Don't let others hear it."
Gray choked and didn't say anything. It was a big crime to talk about nobles in private.
Jura said to Dudian: "Dean, you go back to your room and rest. Come out for dinner. You are tired today."
Gray looked at Dudian. His lips slightly moved, but he didn't say anything. He was disappointed in his heart. After getting along with Dudian for a month, he knew that Dudian was a good boy. He would never do anything impolite. He could only blame the other side's vision for being too high.
Dudian nodded and went back to his room.
…
Half a month later, the rainy season that lasted for four months finally came to an end.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly.
