Newlywed and old love, the president's secret bride
Chapter 178 Hunting (3)
Chapter 178 Hunting ([-]) The man looked over there indifferently, but there was no special reaction, and he said calmly, "They don't know."
have no idea?Duan Zijin frowned slightly upon hearing this, and her dark brown eyes trembled slightly.
Those people, don't know that Nancy is Jiang Lin's fiancée?how come?
Jiang Lin wrapped his left arm around the woman's slender waist, and clasped her right hand resting on her lower abdomen. Sensing her doubts, he pinched her slightly with five fingers.
"No one knows about this matter." He said, "It's not the time to disclose it to other families, otherwise what they did...wouldn't just be as simple as asking about your health."
Although his words were kept secret, Duan Zijin also realized something from it.The forces of these big families are probably intertwined and intricate.Once there is a marriage between the two families, it is tantamount to breaking the current balance and reshuffle the situation. Then the strongest Willebrand family will be the first to be targeted by the public.
While she was still in deep thought, the elders of several big families walked to the wooden box in the middle of the hall, talking and laughing calmly.
Jiang Lin's status in this group of people was not considered the highest, and he had no intention of competing for the first place, so he stood at the outermost side of the crowd with Duan Zijin.
Even though it was far away from the center, Duan Zijin could still hear what the people in the middle said clearly. She glanced at the wooden box strangely, and asked in a low voice, "Did they just say...a lottery?"
Jiang Lin frowned, "Yes, for the sake of fairness, we can't bring bodyguards when hunting in the mountains. But a hundred years ago, there was an accident where someone entered the paddock alone and died. Okay, as for how to match...it is decided by lottery every year."
Duan Zijin was stunned for a moment, "You mean, it is possible for me to be in a group with someone else?"
Jiang Lin's eyes dimmed, and his black pupils were like abysses, with bottomless coldness, "It's possible."
After all, this is not something he can control.
Duan Zijin was speechless, but the man suddenly withdrew his left arm and raised his hand to brush away the broken hair on her forehead, "If you don't get in the same group as me, you just say you are unwell and can't go up the mountain, understand?"
She asked, "Why?"
She has never been in a hunting ground before, since she has reached the foot of the mountain, how can she not go up the mountain?
The man's pretty brows slowly frowned, and he replied in a deep voice, "There are wild animals on the mountain. I don't worry if someone takes you up there."
Duan Zijin knew that what he said was reasonable, so the corner of his mouth twitched, but he nodded obediently, "Let's see the result of the lottery first."
The lottery was conducted by the housekeeper of the Willebrand family under the supervision of several other family heads. Since there were two more "guests" this time, Duan Zijin and Tang Jichi, the results of the grouping were particularly exciting.
The lottery began, and the big housekeeper took out the slips with names written on them one by one from the box, and read them out into the microphone after the justice process. There were old and young, and after hearing the nominations, they stood in groups of two and two.
When Nancy's name was called, Duan Zijin's ears seemed to be equipped with sensitive detectors, his thoughts suddenly stopped, and he concentrated all his attention on listening.
She was not the only one who cared. All the unaccompanied men seemed to prick up their ears at the same time, looking at the second note in the butler's hand with concern.
The butler slowly unfolded the note and handed it to the patriarchs for review. Everyone had deep thoughtful smiles on their faces, except Mr. Jiang who was as calm as before, with his hale and hearty eyes fixed on the wooden box for drawing lots in front of him. Didn't move a cent.
The butler cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "By God's will, the one who is in the same group as Miss Nancy is Master Lennard of the Willebrand family."
Duan Zijin looked up at the man's suddenly stiff expression, and said, "Jiang Lin, what he just said was your family's name! Is that your brother? That Lenn..."
In the middle of her speech, her voice suddenly stopped in her throat——lennard?
Isn't that... lenn!
Everyone looked this way in unison.
Jiang Lin's face became more and more gloomy and indifferent, his eyes were like sharp swords, and he slashed at the face of the butler. The sharpness in it made the butler subconsciously lower his head to avoid it.
Nancy stood beside the butler, stepped forward to meet Jiang Lin's sharp and cold eyes, but still smiled calmly.
Wearing casual clothes, she saluted gracefully, and said softly amidst everyone's admiration and admiration: "Master Lennard, it is an honor to be in a group with you under God's will."
From the beginning to the end, she never looked at Duan Zijin when she was talking, as if the woman beside him was not worthy of her attention at all, no matter who she was, she didn't care.That kind of natural and noble pride is her innate temperament.
Duan Zijin's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and blood was dripping from the blood vessels.
Everyone was looking at him and nancy, waiting for them to walk to the side of the grouped line together.
God's will?what is this?
The looking back and forth made her feel ashamed, especially the gazes from Mr. Jiang and Jiang Lin's father, the kindness and kindness contained a breathtaking warning, and she understood the warning after a little alignment.
Warn her not to mess around on such an important and grand festival and embarrass the Willebrand family.
Duan Zijin stopped in mid-air like this with five fingers that wanted to grab Jiang Lin. After a while, he silently clenched his fist and retracted it.
But the man clasped her wrist with his backhand, his brows were cold, and his tone was indifferent but serious, "This lot doesn't count."
Jiang Shan, Jiang Nan and others who could understand what he said were startled, Jiang Fengshi directly warned: "Jiang Lin, do you know what occasion this is?"
Jiang Lin lazily raised his eyes and looked over, "Dare to use such a shameful trick on such a serious occasion, Lord Viscount's self-cultivation...is getting worse and worse."
His words were slow but sharp as a knife.
Jiang Fengshi's face immediately changed when he heard his words. Duan Zijin quickly caught his fleeting unnaturalness, and it was not difficult to understand when he thought of Jiang Lin's words—could someone do a shameful trick during the lottery? Tricked?
Duan Zijin was in a mess.She knew very well that there were only two choices now, either to make Jiang Lin's father deceitful, or to let him team up with nancy...
"Lenn, do you want Willebrand to be ashamed because of you?" Jiang Shan asked with a frown.
Jiang Lin said indifferently: "Today, like Zijin, I am just an invited guest. Ever since Lord Viscount used such despicable tricks, I can't feel that he still cares whether Willebrand will be ashamed or not. Since he If you don't care, then this matter is naturally out of my consideration."
Jiang Shan gritted her teeth, and stared sharply at Duan Zijin, "Why, you won't even let my cousin go while hunting? Do you have to tie him to your body to be reconciled?"
Duan Zijin frowned, and before he could speak, Jiang Lin had already coldly answered: "Jiang Shan, if you dare to be presumptuous with her, I guarantee that the situation will be even worse than it is now."
"Lenn, what did I say wrong?" Jiang Shan turned back not to be outdone, "If it wasn't for her, how would you..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Fengshi's raised hand stopped her.
The tall and majestic Viscount walked up to Duan Zijin's side step by step, with a calm and majestic expression on his deep and three-dimensional face, bringing an inexplicable sense of oppression in front of him.
"Miss Zijin, although you are a guest, I hope you can persuade him to put the overall situation first."
Duan Zijin was so infuriated by what they said, she really wanted to ask them, what does it mean to put the overall situation first, and pushing her lover to another woman is to put the overall situation first?
"Master Viscount, I don't have such lofty ambitions as you. For Jiang Lin, the overall situation is not to make my woman frown."
He took Duan Zijin's hand, turned around and wanted to leave.
But the woman on the side who hadn't spoken for a long time made a sound at this moment, the voice was not loud enough for the man to hear clearly: "Lenn, are you really planning to hit me in the face in front of everyone?"
Jiang Lin's body froze suddenly, and he turned his head to look at the woman with a gentle smile and lively eyes.
The long eyebrows were tightly knit, and even the bridge of the nose was wrinkled along with the frowning, and there was a rare hesitation in the handsome facial features.
Nancy is also a delicate heart, even if she can't understand what they are talking about, she still understands that Lenn intends to refuse to be with her.
And again, for this woman.
"enough!"
The old and sharp voice interrupted the chaos present, Mr. Jiang stared straight at Jiang Lin's face, "There must be a limit to nonsense, if you take this woman out of the main entrance of the hall today, can you walk out of the hunting ground alive? I don't promise."
Jiang Lin's eyes turned cold, "Grandpa!"
"Why, don't believe me?"
After Mr. Jiang asked this sentence, he took out a very old-fashioned revolver from his waist, and pointed the black muzzle at Duan Zijin's head.
