[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

"Knock-"

"Come in."

The woman in the mirror is as perfect as a string of round and plump pearls on her slender and delicate neck, her curly brown hair is pulled up high, and a luxurious crown made of twelve bright yellow pear-shaped pearls surrounded by diamonds Embedded in the lustrous hair, the delicate and glamorous makeup, and the light smile at the corner of her mouth made her look like a high-ranking queen.She was wearing a white satin one-shoulder dress, her fair complexion gave her a soft glow all over her body, and the close-fitting design of the dress showed her perfect figure to the fullest.

Count Schumacher looked at his daughter in amazement from behind and exclaimed: "My princess, you are so beautiful today."

Sylvia carefully adjusted the angle of the crown, smiled and said to Count Schumacher standing behind her in the mirror: "Father, is there a day when I am not beautiful?"

"That's right, my princess is beautiful no matter what," Earl Schumacher shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "You have grown up so much before you know it, time flies, and when you think of my princess, you will soon leave My, my heart is going to break."

Sylvia tilted her head and looked at Schumacher in the mirror, pretending to be puzzled and asking, "Father, why did I leave you?"

"My princess, you will always marry when you grow up." Count Schumacher looked sad.

His wife died young, and only he and Sylvia were left in the family. He thought about remarrying, but it was a pity that Sylvia always ruined him. It is his lifeblood. He knew that one day she would leave him, so since she was 14 years old, she has been looking for someone who is worthy of his daughter and who can give her daughter happiness. He wants to give his daughter happiness. The best of all.

He already had a candidate in his heart, and this person would also appear at the welcome banquet today.

His daughter is so outstanding, in terms of beauty and wisdom, she can be counted among the ladies of the noble families. Earl Schumacher is very confident that his daughter will become the focus of tonight.

Only this family can be worthy of the only precious princess in his heart.

"No, I want to stay with my father." Sylvia put down the earrings in her hand, turned and looked at Count Schumacher resolutely, "I am also reluctant to leave you, father. But even if I really marry someone, I will Stay in Vienna, so that I can always stay by my father's side, father, do you think it's okay?" Even the most domineering girl outside, when facing the father who depends on each other, the youngest daughter's naive attitude will immediately show.

Count Schumacher paused, feeling that Sylvia seemed to have something to say.

Is that rumor true?

In the next second, he heard Sylvia's voice shyly say: "Father, I want to introduce someone to you today."

"Oh? Which family's son made our princess such a grand event?" Schumacher asked calmly.

Facing the mirror, Sylvia gently put the pear-shaped pearl earrings on her ears, pretending to be calm and said: "You will know when the time comes."

"Okay, I'm just waiting to see how good that person is, so that you can give me a special introduction."

Earl Schumacher originally planned to tell their princess that he also had someone he wanted to introduce to her, but after thinking about it, if he just told her like this, Sylvia, who had a heart to belong to, might have a rebellious mentality, and would rather It's better to let nature take its course.

As for the person Sivilia said, it is very likely that the musician who has become famous recently, Beauregard Wilkes, known as the "heir of music", he sent someone to check it out. Ya did go to Strauss' studio every day, and it is said that the musician practiced piano there.

Earl Schumacher had seen Wilkes' concert, and he also admired the young man's talent, but Wilkes was just a commoner, no matter how talented he was, he was not worthy of their princess.It's not that he discriminates against each other's identities, but the status and experience of the two are different, and they are not in the right household. Even if they are reluctantly together, he does not believe that the other party can give Sylvia happiness.

Naturally, Sylvia didn't know what was going on in her father's mind. When she thought of meeting her sweetheart tonight, she felt extremely happy.

——It would never have occurred to her that she would not be able to laugh at all tonight.

As the host, after finishing the final preparations, the father and daughter walked into the upcoming banquet hall arm in arm.

☆

The banquet started at six o'clock in the evening, and at 05:30, the Rhett family and the Wilkes brothers and sisters were ready to leave.

Before going out, Ella had a new inspiration, and today's banquet was not an important one in her opinion, so she shrugged off her stomach discomfort and ran directly into her room.Others are used to her ecstasy as soon as she starts creating, so they let her go.

Scarlett, Rhett, Xiao Bo, and Christine sat in the front carriage, while Xiao Bo and Bonnie sat alone in a fully enclosed carriage behind.Although the place is very large, the two still mean to be together, talking in a low voice.

Xiao Bo carefully wrapped Bonnie in his arms, letting her lean against him comfortably.

"I'm going to meet my rival soon, and I'm still a little worried." Bonnie said deliberately.

Rival? What's that?

Xiao Bo laughed and said, "As long as I don't like her, she's not your rival in love, is she?"

Bonnie said with a sad face on purpose: "Actually, I'm more worried that she will be overbearing. What if she announces in public that she wants to be engaged to you?"

"You think too much, sometimes I really don't understand what your little head is thinking," Xiao Bo said speechlessly, "This is a dinner to welcome the Duke of Holstein, she is the host, it shouldn't be Make such a rude move, maybe she has already given up on me."

How can it be?

It would be really naive for Xiao Bo to really think that way. As far as she knows, although she did not come to Xiao Bo herself, several people who watched him appeared around Xiao Bo recently, and some people came to investigate their family and Will. Keith's house.

If the other party has already let go, there is no need to investigate them at all, right?

What's more, even the Butler family is the target.

"Well, actually, I don't think she would do that." Bonnie chuckled, shaking Xiaobo's hand, "But I still can't help worrying, you are so good, even she is fascinated by you because of her noble background." Well, thinking about it, I think I will definitely have more rivals in love in the future." Don't say that she is mediocre, if Xiao Bo hadn't identified her since she was a child, she might not know which outstanding women she would fight to the death.

Xiao Bo leaned into Bonnie's ear and said softly, "But I'm only fascinated by you, and you are the most outstanding girl in my heart."

Bonnie: "..."

Tell her quickly, where did you learn this kind of love talk skills? You don't need too many skills, just a straightforward sentence is enough! !

Xiao Bo said firmly: "So don't worry, I only love you, my Meilan."

Still very worried.

Bonnie is not worried about gains and losses, but besides blindness in love, there is also anxiety, which she has never felt before.

Since the relationship was confirmed, although Bonnie was sure that Xiao Bo was devoted to her, but a talented musician like Xiao Bo should be coveted by many people.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a high-status, beautiful and intelligent Sylvia to appear. If she didn't try harder to hold on to Xiaobo, what would happen if Xiaobo was really abducted?

So she must not escape, let alone back down, and declare her sovereignty in front of Sylvia, no, show off her might.

Only by taking the commanding heights can the opponent look up.

This is hers, and this is approved by Xiaobo and the parents of both parties.

There was a silence in the carriage, and the atmosphere made Xiao Bo feel a little worried.

Xiao Bo wasn't quite sure whether his girl really had enough confidence after he confessed in this way.

Bonnie was his mother's savior. From the moment she rescued Melanie, she had completely entered his heart and never left.

She has supported him all these years.

From his lack of self-confidence when he started to study music, to encouraging him to study in Vienna.

It can be said that without Bonnie Butler, there would be no Beauregard Wilkes who is recognized in the music industry today.

He has always had her in his life, and there is also her in his music.

Unknowingly, the girl is like his sunshine and air, like a lighthouse in his lonely ocean of music, the goddess in his mind.

"How about..." Let's go back?If Bonnie is really worried and doesn't want to

"Not good." Bonnie seemed to be able to hear what Xiao Bo hadn't said yet, "I believe you, Xiao Bo, I have always believed in you. Actually, there is nothing terrible about that Miss Sylvia."

"So?" Hearing the change in Bonnie's tone, Xiao Bo's emotions began to be positively affected.

"Hmph, I want to see who the person she's looking for belongs to." Bonnie clenched her fist.

"Of course it belongs to you."

Xiao Bo thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

In fact, the distance from home to the venue of the banquet was not long, and it was only a quarter of an hour when they got off the carriage.

At this time, Rhett and Scarlett were already waiting for them on the red carpet outside the door. Rhett glanced at the tightly held arms of the two, and said teasingly, "Have you reached an agreement?"

"About what?" Bonnie said, pretending to be silly.

"Uncle Rhett, Bonnie and I have reached a consensus." It was rare for Xiao Bo not to cooperate with Bonnie's behavior.

Scarlett and the other two little guys were a little confused: "So what are they talking about? Did you guys quarrel?"

"No." Christine said innocently, "I testify that my brother and sister Bonnie have never quarreled."

Bonnie said speechlessly, "We're in love, what do you think?"

Others but not Xiaobo: "..."

"Let's go?" Rhett couldn't help arching his arms, and Scarlett embraced him reflexively.

The six people walked to the door, and after they showed the invitation card to the doorman, they were respectfully invited into the banquet venue.

The main color of this venue is gold. The carefully selected furniture and careful layout make the huge banquet hall look magnificent and magnificent.

At this time, Earl Schumacher and Sylvia, as the hosts, were already greeting people in the hall where the guests gathered.

Sylvia saw Xiao Bo and the Butler family who had just arrived at a glance, and of course the girl from the Butler family that she saw on the Danube when she was on a boat cruise with Xiao Bo.

"Father." Sylvia was eager to introduce Xiaobo to his father, and couldn't care less.

Earl Schumacher was obviously seeing Reid for the first time. He didn't move, but asked the secretary who was in charge of reminding him to confirm the identity of the other party.

Joseph, Earl Schumacher's secretary, hurriedly said: "That's Rhett Butler and his wife, and standing beside him are his daughter and son, and the other two are Vienna's up-and-coming musician Beauregard Wilkes, and his sister. Today, Mr. Wilkes will play part of it."

Count Schumacher nodded, and walked over with Sylvia.

Sylvia was actually a little confused. Beauregard and his sister Christine were definitely invited by her personally.

So who is the Butler family from?

But before she got the answer, Earl Schumacher had already walked in front of Rhett Butler.

"Nice to meet you, hello, I've known you for a long time, Mr. Butler."

"Where is it, this is the first time we meet, Your Excellency, please allow me to introduce you, this is my wife, and these two are my daughter and son."

"This is my daughter Sylvia..."

The two shook hands and exchanged greetings as if they hit it off.

Huh?Sylvia noticed the "first meeting" they said.

So is this person a guest invited by father himself?Looking at his father's attitude towards him, this person should be Rhett Butler who has made a lot of noise in Europe recently.

So this one is Rhett Butler's daughter, Bonnie Butler.

Sylvia glanced at the arm that Bonnie and Xiaobo were holding, and narrowed her eyes.

After Earl Schumacher and Reid finished exchanging greetings, Sylvia couldn't wait to introduce Xiao Bo, who stood aside for a long time, to her father, "Father, please let me introduce you, this is my guest——"

"I know this one. This is Beauregard Wilkes, the musician who has become famous in Vienna recently. I heard your concert last time. Your performance was very memorable," his eyes fell. On Christine, "Then you should be John's favorite student's younger sister, Christine, right?"

Christine did not expect that Schumacher knew her, and she was a little flattered. She pinched the corner of her skirt and saluted Earl Schumacher, "Your Excellency, Hello, I am Kristin Wilkes."

"Did you come together?" Earl Schumacher's eyes wandered between Xiaobo and Bonnie.

Xiao Bo smiled politely, and said in a sonorous voice: "Your Excellency, please allow me to introduce you to my fiancée, Bonnie Butler."

Rhett raised his eyebrows, then glanced at Bonnie from the corner of his eye.

When did Bonnie become Xiaobo's fiancée?Last time, Bonnie directly rejected Xiaobo's marriage proposal.

Could it be that Xiaobo proposed marriage again when they didn't know, is this what Xiaobo said?

Bonnie's expression didn't change, she just saluted Schumacher with a decent smile.

Pretending not to see Sylvia, who was at the side, instantly turned pale and unnatural.

At this time, Sylvia's face was more than ugly. If she hadn't been under the watchful eyes of everyone, she might have lost her temper.

Although Beauregal had told her that she had a relationship, she hadn't found out that the two were engaged. What's going on?

"It turns out that Mr. Wilkes and Miss Bonnie are already engaged." Earl Schumacher hadn't heard of this, but thinking about it, Sylvia seemed to have a good impression of Mr. Wilkes before, and looking at it now It's completely self-indulgent, everyone has a fiancée, does she still want to marry him? "Congratulations, both of you."

They chatted more, because soon the Duke of Holstein arrived on time at six o'clock.

Count Schumacher pretended not to see his daughter's angry face, "Honey, our main guest is here today, don't be rude."

"I see, father." Although Sylvia was in a low mood, she had pulled herself together and puffed up her chest together with Count Schumacher to welcome their honored guest today.

The Duke of Holstein came with his son, Viscount Charles. He and Schumacher have known each other for nearly 20 years, but one of them is in the UK and the other is in continental Europe. It seems that the two haven't seen each other for five or six years, but because the two have been hypocritical since they were young, even after they got married and had children, their friendship has not changed.It happened that his eldest son had reached the age of marriage, and Duke Holstein knew that his good friend also had the same idea. After the two hit it off, he planned to let the two young people meet.

"That's His Excellency the Duke's eldest son, Viscount Charles, Sylvia, do you remember him?" the earl whispered to Sylvia.

Sylvia has a good memory. Although she hasn't seen her for several years, she has impressions of Duke Holstein and Viscount Charles.

"You have to greet them well once, and don't make them feel inconsiderate." Earl Schumacher urged.

"Definitely." Sylvia always felt that her father was a little weird.

The Duke of Holstein quickly chatted with Count Schumacher, turned around and handed over his son to Sylvia, and took Count Schumacher while chatting, while walking towards Reid.

In fact, Sylvia and Charles hadn't seen each other for many years, and the two were unfamiliar, and they were a little embarrassed when they were relatively silent.

"Long time no see, Miss Sylvia."

"Long time no see, Lord Viscount Charles."

It was really embarrassing.

Immediately afterwards, Charles didn't know what to talk about.Sylvia looked glamorous and charming, but his demeanor was a bit cold, which made him feel helpless.

As for Sylvia, she was in a bad mood, and was directly thrown by her father inexplicably beside this dull-looking Charles.

It has to be said that Charles still hasn't jumped out of the impression she had when she was a child. Although he looks like a human being, he still can't hide the stupidity on his face.

Didn't her father want to make her a pair with this Charles?She would rather die than marry this fool.

"Do you know why your father, the Duke of Holstein, came here?" Sylvia asked casually.

"Reminiscing with the Earl," Charles said without thinking, "There seems to be some business to be discussed, by the way, who is that angel-like girl?"

"Which one?"

The topic jumped too fast, making Sylvia a little bit overwhelmed.

"It's the girl in the white dress with a musical note hairpin in her hair, the one standing next to my father and your father."

In fact, when Charles said that there was a musical note in his hair, Sylvia already knew who he was talking about, because of the same musical note, she also found one on Beauregal's chest, and the accessories of the two were obviously the same It's a set, so she noticed it at first sight.

Wait, is Charles interested in Bonnie Butler?

Sylvia suddenly had a plan, "Isn't your family doing business with the Butler company? Which one is the daughter of the Butler family, Bonnie Butler, why, do you want to know her?"

If Charles fell in love with Bonnie Butler, would it be possible for them to break up Beauregard and Bonnie Butler?

As for the issue of status, anyway, she would not mind Beauregal's status.

As for Bonnie Butler?Does it have anything to do with her?

Charles looked at Sylvia, who suddenly became eager, a little puzzled, but he really wanted to know that little beauty.

But it would be easier to know that she was the daughter of the Butler family. Her father was very familiar with Rhett Butler, the head of the Butler company, so he didn't worry about not having a chance.

"It's a pity," Sylvia sighed exaggeratedly, "Your angel is already someone else's fiancée."

"What?" Among the well-dressed crowd, Bonnie's beautiful attire made her stand out. She was like a luminous body, and people couldn't look away. All Charles' attention fell on Bonnie. Ni, did not hear Sylvia's words clearly.

"She's really attractive, isn't she?" Sylvia asked in a low voice.

"Of course." Charles suddenly reacted, "What fiancee did you just say?"

Sylvia also seems to have unusual attention to that Bonnie Butler, why is that?

"Standing beside her is her fiancé, Beauregal Wilkes, a rising star in the Viennese music scene."

Charles said with some regret: "It's normal for beauties to have fiances. It's really a pity."

His peripheral vision fell on Sylvia, and the woman's eyes didn't rest on anyone, but she was a little more enthusiastic when introducing that person named Wilkes.

Sylvia looked around casually, but the words she said were somewhat bewildering: "Don't tell me...you don't want her?"

Charles seems to have caught something, "You mean, you have a way?"

"I can do anything, but if you like it, just go after her directly. With the status of you and your family, are you still worried that she won't throw herself into your arms?" Xi Weili Ya said slowly.

Charles looked at Sylvia, whose expression was still cold and arrogant, and suddenly felt that this boring banquet seemed to be starting to be interesting.
