Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

At the beginning of the lanterns, the Adam family, an ancient manor that has been passed down for thousands of years, once again opened its arms to the nobles and celebrities.

At the simple but exquisite stone carving gate, a waterfall-like red carpet flows for thousands of miles, with thousands of people walking on it, all dressed up.

In the banquet hall, gentlemen in suits and ladies in elegant dresses and smiling faces were chatting one after another, which was very lively.

However, since it was a birthday party, the younger generation was also indispensable at the party.

In the corner, a few men who were clearly out of touch were looking at the crowd and whispering.

"Alas, look at those two, the Minister of Coastal Defense, and the one next to him, who should be the Minister of Land Defense. The two of them never see the King, and never attend the same banquet. Why are they both here today? "

"What's all the fuss about? Haven't you heard the news yet?"

Hearing this, the man who asked the question suddenly became cautious and asked thoughtfully: "Are you saying that the queen is really coming..."

"Of course, my second aunt's cousin's son works as a security guard in front of the embassy, ​​and he heard what the Queen's assistant dress designer said with his own ears."

The man lowered his voice and added: "She also said that the Queen attaches great importance to this banquet. She prepared twenty sets of dresses alone, as well as various jewelry accessories, each of which is priceless."

It has to be said that as a native of Capital Star, he was sore.

Many rare gems are rare treasures, but when he heard that the Queen still disliked them if they were not perfect enough, even if they were not glossy enough, they would be passed on.

No chance to appear at this birthday party.

He muttered more quietly: "I thought she was getting married today."

This last sentence was so soft that no one heard it, but the man behind his back who had been silent at the end snorted coldly and said with a smile: "How could the Queen of the Rhine come to this small banquet? It's better to celebrate the birthday of a child, that relative of yours I’m obviously playing a trick on you!”

The man behind his back laughed mockingly, but as soon as he said this, there were more doubts present.

"Yes, how is that possible? I heard that even the invitation to the Bruce family's banquet was rejected."

"That's right, Cooley, don't brag just to get the limelight."

The man named Cooley clenched his fists angrily, but due to his small strength, he could only say with a fierce face: "Then you just wait and see."

The quarrel among a group of fringe characters was harmless, and the banquet went on smoothly as expected.

In the next ten minutes, almost all the famous families in Capital Star sent people.

As the birthday boy, Brian was led by Pete to wait at the door to receive the crowd.

"Minister Liang, you are here, hurry up, hurry up."

"Congressman Mihir, welcome to your presence."

"..."

This group of people were welcomed in by the waiter one after another, and Brian swallowed his saliva, trying to moisten his dry throat.

"Brian, how do you feel?"

Peter noticed Brian's slightly tired face and asked with concern.

Brian took a moment to calm down before saying, "I'm a little nervous, but Grandpa, I feel very excited again."

The bright yellow pupils exuded sparkling brilliance.

Pete smiled understandingly and just patted him on the shoulder: "Relax Brian, as long as you work hard, there will be no shortage of scenes like this in the future."

"Yeah!" Brian nodded heavily.

A new wave of guests is coming.

However, even though Brian was mentally prepared, he was still stunned for half a second when faced with the arrival of the little prince Pei Mingxu.

"Your Highness, welcome."

Pete came closer with a smile and made a proper aristocratic salute, blocking Brian's gaffe at the same time.

Seeing this, Brian quickly reacted and saluted.

Pei Mingxu was accompanied by the chamberlain. Under the intimidation of the chamberlain, no one dared to be disrespectful to him.

Pei Mingxu didn't care at all about Brian's stunned look, and slightly curled his lips and said: "Brian, happy birthday."

"...Thank you for your blessing, Your Highness." Brian calmly saluted and thanked him again.

This time, he made no mistakes.

After watching Pei Mingxu go away, Brian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to receive him under his grandfather's kind smile.

The arrival of the royal family undoubtedly raised the level of this banquet to a new level.

After receiving this news, everyone in the meeting obviously had a high opinion of the Adam family.

The arrival of Gu Cheng and Gu Pan was uneventful.

As Brian's classmate and mother of a classmate, the two received neither preferential treatment nor cold treatment.

Like a normal guest, he was politely invited in.

The waiter led Gu Pan to the seat where the ladies usually stayed, and then led Gu Cheng to the group of classmates.

The students present imitated the adults in wearing suits and ties, as if they were little adults, but their childishness could not be concealed in their brows and eyes.

"Brother Cheng, come and sit here." Eugene took a seat near the dining car and invited him to come over and accompany him.

Gu Cheng naturally would not refuse.

After he left, the gathered students dispersed.

Those who have social needs will follow the adults to recognize people everywhere, and those who just want to huddle quietly in the corner are left alone and left to their own devices.

Gu Cheng has no need for communication for the time being, but the more real reason is that no one will pay attention to him if he goes there.

This kind of vanity fair only looks at the forces behind it.

Although the ancient literature school has changed the trend of decadence, it is really not enough in today's situation.

What's more, his teachers are becoming more and more mysterious now, and none of them came today.

In the past, Teacher Lu Li would come over from time to time to care about his study progress, but in recent months, she could send him one message a month, which is considered frequent.

More often than not, they are out of touch.

Gu Cheng sat on a soft chair holding juice, and the person next to him had been replaced by Pei Mingxu, who also didn't want to socialize.

Eugene followed Yulisa and took Gu Panman to the dining car to find food.

Being led by a familiar person, Gu Pan became less restrained and instead followed Madam Yulisa around like a joy. She was so unhappy.

Gu Cheng pushed the small cake that Gu Pan had brought back in front of Pei Mingxu's eyes. After receiving a look from Pei Mingxu, he saw that Pei Mingxu was skillfully digging into it with a small spoon.

After finishing one, Gu Cheng pushed another one over and asked: "Your Highness, there are also pineapple jam sandwich, do you want to try it?"

Pei Mingxu obviously hesitated for a while, but still took it.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he saw Pei Mingxu's increasingly close attitude. He was particularly satisfied with the atmosphere between the two of them.

As a follower of His Highness, Pei Mingxu is true to his words. Apart from academic exchanges, he has never asked Gu Cheng to bully others or deal with messes.

It's really just a follow-up.

However, this atmosphere made Gu Cheng very comfortable and at ease, and also allowed him to exert his subjective initiative.

Therefore, Mr. Gu Cheng could not help but be nicer to His Highness.

Pei Mingxu took the cupcake at Gu Cheng's earnest invitation, but his body automatically moved two steps away from Gu Cheng.

This little follower is really good at persuading people to eat.

Forget about feeding him the daily fruit plate, even at such a formal and serious banquet, I didn't forget to bring him a small cake.

Pei Mingxu had reason to suspect that his milk fat had not subsided yet, and it must be because Gu Cheng had overfed him.

"coming!"
