"Any form of evading marriage must be justified so that your suitor cannot attack your family for other reasons. Do you understand what I mean?"
Elena put her head on her hands and looked puzzled: "But what should I do?"
"Including but not limited to studying abroad, going on business, joining the army, causing irreversible harm to oneself, faking death, and running to another world."
"Run to another world?"
"The last case will not be considered."
Zhou Jinru drew a circle on the paper with a pen: "At present, you seem to have many choices, but in fact there are only a few. I will not consider the following ones. Study abroad, go on business, join the army, do you have a clue?"
"I haven't graduated from Victoria Royal University and I don't have a public position. Even if I want to join the army, I won't be approved."
The girl was a little frustrated. Victoria seemed to be enlightened, but in fact, being a woman was not as easy as she imagined. The gentlemen's disguised rejection caused many obstacles for women to enter the political arena. Even if they overcome all difficulties and dangers, they will still be stuck in promotion. .
Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds and suddenly asked an unrelated question: "Do you know those people from the Yan Kingdom?"
People from Yan country?
Elena was puzzled: "What happened to them?"
"I saw them at the party."
Zhou Jinru only saw Jingzhe and Ye Yu appearing on the second floor, and did not see them again since then.
"I don't know, but in the sitcom, the visitors from the Yan Kingdom are conducting cross-border investigations on a certain case. They seem to be pursuing stolen items."
"How is the relationship between Victoria and Yan Guo?"
Elena was surprised: "Since you are from the Yan Kingdom, you don't know anything about this country?"
Zhou Jinru twitched his lips: "I have lived abroad all year round and don't know much about the Yan Kingdom. Is there any problem?"
In the sitcom, the Yan Kingdom delegation investigated a certain case. In reality, they were definitely not just doing ancestor worship. How could anyone from Yan Kingdom come to Victoria to worship their ancestors?
"By the way, do you have a role in the sitcom?"
"I'm a supporting character."
Elena was a little surprised at first, but when she thought about the relationship between the man in front of her and Yin Hui, she felt it was normal. The two were close, how could Yin Hui not create a role for the people around her?
Unexpectedly, they turned out to be...
"That's it for now. Count Borg won't bother you in the short term, but it's not a long-term solution. You are one of his targets."
The girl Feilin seemed to have remembered something and asked, "What if I become an infected person like Melanza?"
Zhou Jinru stared into the girl's eyes and said in a solemn tone: "You will die in an ugly way. Believe me, corpses are picked up from the Sega River every day. If you are one more, your family will be destroyed because of your actions."
Deliberately becoming an infected person and escaping from marriage is unbearable for a nobleman. This is an accusation that will make everyone point at him. Zhou Jinru can imagine what kind of behavior a person who cuts off all hope will do.
"oh."
Elena quickly lowered her head.
Zhou Jinru reached out and patted her shoulder: "I will contact you proactively, don't be too nervous."
After pushing the door open and putting on his coat, Zhou Jinru took a drink from the waiter and strolled through the atrium of the manor. If the opportunity was right, Elena would become a suitable nail.
There is still one way he has not said out loud, and that is to convert her to the church. With his lofty status as a god on earth, Count Borg would not dare to stir up trouble even if he had ten courages.
But this was a last resort. The act of converting to the church was also equivalent to a slap in the face of the earl, but the intensity was small but medium.
Spending money to buy a title is not popular among traditional nobles. The so-called glory of a family is just a bunch of numbers. The nobles who actively embrace capital make a lot of money while despising those lucky people who seize the wave of the times. , this needs to change the background, it is probably the contempt of the princes and nobles for the merchants.
What Earl Borg did was nothing more than adding sand to the nobles. What was behind this matter was not one or two families or one or two nobles, but the confrontation between two opposing classes. Borg, who was over fifty years old, still wanted to It’s hard to say whether marrying the beautiful Elena is like an old cow eating young grass, but there are definitely people who hope that he can marry Elena.
As for Elena's passionate fight with Melanza, which caused a stir in the aristocratic circle, some people also hoped that she could marry Count Borg later, or simply stop the marriage.
In essence, it is not the conflict between Borg and Elena, but the conflict between the people behind them.
Poor little Felin still doesn't know why this is happening, and no one even offers substantial help.
Her struggles may be seen by some as nothing more than a pitiful meow.
…
…
It was getting late, and the silver ash came late, with a tired look on his face.
"The problem is solved?"
Yin Hui shook his head: "Not yet. The melodrama will be stopped tonight and will resume tomorrow night."
Zhou Jinru smiled, was it a technical adjustment?
"A little surprise."
Seeing the banquet coming to an end and everyone leaving, Zhou Jinru followed Yin Hui and left. They looked at the chess pieces scattered on the chessboard in the car, and no one took the initiative to speak for a while.
Yin Hui held the chess pieces one by one and put them into the box. After a long time, he said, "I heard that you met some beautiful ladies?"
"You two, Elena and Mapel, each have their own characteristics."
Zhou Jinru sighed, the former is a pitiful person, the latter... the latter's husband is a pitiful person.
Miss Marpel's ex-husband must not have imagined that they were still husband and wife when they lay down the night before, but when they opened their eyes the next day, bang, they were divorced.
Ah.
Yin Hui chuckled, but the meaning was unclear.
Zhou Jinru's scalp felt numb. He remembered that he had said something at the banquet that he would not normally think of. He didn't know why he was so brave at that time.
"Ally, you said some incredible things today."
The palm of his black leather glove was placed on Zhou Jinru's thigh.
"Well, I mistakenly took the brandy for water and drank too much."
Is it too late to be timid at this time?
The warlord's huge body moved in the narrow space in the car. His palms were strong and he pressed on the seat next to Zhou Jinru, almost pressing his face against his. The distance between the two could be measured in millimeters. describe.
"Ally, please don't mention some things in the future. I believe in your wisdom, you are an interesting person."
"..."
"You have to bear the pressure of Rhode Island, and I have to bear the responsibility of the Snow Realm. Some things are beyond our control, but not everything has to develop in accordance with the situation. Ally, just like at this moment, I am in front of you."
The silver-grey pupils shrank, and the sharp eyes were like those of a cat staring at its prey.
