Chapter 1190: Just a puppet with a lost soul
When the plane landed in London, well, this damn weather, the weather in London was notoriously bad. Yes, it was rainy and rainy, and it seemed to have become the standard configuration in London. At this time, three Rolls-Royce Phantoms all stopped in front of the apron to welcome Lu Ning and his group. Well, Antonio was a little surprised. The car was definitely not called by him, after all, this was not his sphere of influence.
I am not a businessman, and I have my own company everywhere. It is obvious that in London, Antonio is truly poor.
Well, this description is a bit exaggerated, or it should be that there is nothing left except money.
These three Rolls-Royce Phantoms are all the industries of the Istantin family's companies in London. Yes, the Istantin family has a great influence in London. The Istantin family's business center is in Europe. London is the most suitable place to set up a branch here as the business center and economic center of Europa. Besides, this time, everyone came to cheer for Antonio, so of course the good things must be taken out, so that Antonio can't be too shabby.
"Hey, Istantin, my brother, thank you." Antonio remembered this in his heart.
"It's nothing, I'll send you the bill then." Well, obviously, this is just a joke. Among brothers, sometimes, just one look is enough, and do everything possible. Isn't this time, Lu Ning and Istantin's purpose?
It is also possible for these arrogant and arrogant nobles to take a look at what strength is. Please put away your ridiculous aristocratic spirit in front of us. Come on, in this world, your so-called pride is garbage and worthless.
Everyone got in the car and the destination was Diana's home in London. Well, it was said that Diana's family was still very prosperous 400 years ago. Well, yes, at that time, it was a duke and the family also emerged in many talented people. In the aristocratic field, it was also a hereditary existence. It can be said that it was a glorious one. However, from the perspective of modern history, it has suffered a series of changes.
First of all, when the constitutional monarchy was in the wrong position, the family still stubbornly believed that imperial power was above everything else. Well, this stubborn idea was ridiculed in the end, and even said that their title was directly cut off by the royal family that they had always admired and became an earl. Whether the royal family was voluntary or forced, anyway, that's all. Well, even the royal family of Daying realized that history could not be reversed. Even if it was themselves, in the face of reform, they were just a mantis chariot, but what was unexpected was that some families did not realize it.
For the sake of one's own selfish interests or for one's own status, it has not followed the trend and eventually became a victim of history. Well, however, Diana's family did not seem to have learned the lessons they should have in this failure, but instead became more and more powerful. If it weren't for not causing much storm, it would probably have disappeared into the long river of history like those famous families. Even the royal family was a little bored and hated this family.
Diana's grandfather, our Earl, does not have such ideological awareness. It can even be said that this person's political awareness is not high, and he can be said to be almost completely unfamiliar with politics, but just blindly conservative.
This also affected the development of the family. To this day, this family seems to have nothing but its own pride. It is truly capable of making a move. Even the wealth ratio at its highest stage has shrunk by nearly one-tenth.
Well, that's why, this Count, wants to find someone for his granddaughter so quickly, yes, through such a marriage, to consolidate the status of the family, and Diana is just a victim, and this is why she didn't choose Antonio. This person who has no power in England and was abandoned in the first round. To be honest, the old man doesn't care what you do, as long as you help him, it depends on this point. Yes, as for what you are engaged in the industry, haha, that's just an excuse.
"Hey, my baby, mom will give you a plate, okay? Look at your haggard face, it really makes mom sad." At this moment, Diana's mother had already come to her side and comforted her a few words in a low voice, wanting to make her daughter smile again.
"No, mom, I don't need it, you know, I've even made the determination to stay by your side forever." Diana's words made her mother even more sad. Well, Diana, I'm sorry, it's wrong for you to be born in such a family. Poor child, who dares not even fight for his true happiness?
Gently stroked Diana's face, my dear, go and try it. Maybe, just like what your father has obtained, if you find someone that suits you, your mother is still trying her best to enlighten Diana.
"Mom, stop talking, my heart will always stay in Los Angeles. Yes, staying there, where is my happiest and happiest day." Diana's mother never knew that her daughter would say such things.
"My poor child, you..." Well, this one, Diana's mother was a little heartbroken. Is this still her cheerful child?
"I'm sorry, mom, I, I just complain, aren't you going to dress me up? Let's go." Well, Diana is indeed a filial child, especially for her own mother, otherwise she wouldn't have returned to this home. Looking at her mother's heartbroken expression, Diana softened. Yes, it softened, it wasn't just a dance party, and she wouldn't die if she went to it.
OK, it's very contradictory, isn't it? Even if you put on a perfect makeup, it's a pity that Diana now has no soul. Yes, Diana, who lacks soul, is like an exquisite doll, and can be controlled by others.
"Go, my dear, I wish you a happy life." The moment the car started, the mother's smiled words appeared in Diana's ears. However, what Diana didn't know was that when her car drove away, her mother shed tears for herself.
Diana didn't know all this, yes, she didn't know that her mother would always be the gentle mother in front of Diana.
Well, as Diana's car drove away, a convoy of Rolls-Royce Phantoms did enter the villa from the other direction.
"Hello, Madam, we are here to find Diana." Facing this lady, it was clear that this person was somewhat similar to Diana. Antonio suddenly confirmed the identity of the lady and was very polite in his tone.
"Are you Antonio?" Diana's mother also knew about Antonio's name. After all, when Diana was in Los Angeles before, the most common thing she said on the phone was Antonio's name, which impressed Diana's mother very deeply. Well, she was indeed a handsome guy. Of course, if she was with the one around her, she would be nothing.
Well, I can only say that Antonio doesn’t seem so wise to take Lu Ning, okay, this is not the point.
"Antonio, you have to know that Diana is not in good condition recently. Yes, as a mother, I do not want Diana to do this, but I don't allow anyone to hurt my daughter. Do you understand what I mean?" The latter stared at Antonio tightly, trying to confirm what kind of mentality Antonio had.
"Of course, madam, this is also the reason why I came here." Will Antonio retreat? Of course not, it is impossible to retreat. He is already standing here, and what he has to face is to move forward and must bring Diana back.
"Huh, okay, young man, I hope you do what you say, but you are really like his father. Maybe you hate it to bring happiness to Diana." Diana's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe she should believe this young man. After all, his eyes were so firm, well, just like when she first met her husband.
However, Madam, are you sure this metaphor is appropriate? Lu Ning was embarrassed to say, um, this seems...
"Yes, madam, I can do it. Please tell me where Diana is now? OK?" Antonio's tone was a little pleading. Yes, this was a tone that never was. At least, Lu Ning and Istantin had never seen Antonio like this. Is this still that proud guy? It seems that love can indeed change someone, right?
"There is a dance party tonight. Diana has gone before you come. Antonio, you should be able to understand Diana's grievances, right?" Well, in order not to let her daughter be misunderstood, the latter still clarified it.
"Of course, madam, I know, then, forgive me for saying goodbye." As he said, Antonio had already gotten in the car. Well, this guy didn't think about what kind of dance party this is, where is the dance party? I don't know anything yet. What a reckless guy.
"Madam?" Lu Ning spoke for the first time. Well, at this time, of course, I can't steal Antonio's limelight, right?
"I wish you good luck in the banquet hall of Buckingham Palace." The latter of course knew what Lu Ning was going to ask. He had a greater impression of this handsome young man. Well, this is a world that looks at faces, yes, a world that looks at faces.
Seeing the convoy leaving, Diana's mother realized, OK, look at the good things she did, this was the dance party held by the Queen. Well, there were many powerful people present, and even Diana's grandfather went there. Uh, I hope there would be no bad things. If something happened, my god, I couldn't imagine it.
Well, okay, I originally wanted to stop it, but the convoy had left, Diana's mother could only smile bitterly, hoping that these people would be fine.
This time the banquet held at Buckingham Palace is a retention project of the Royal Family in England. Every year, single young men from aristocratics, plus the elites of society, will be invited to participate in this dance. Well, to put it bluntly, it is a bit like a large blind date. I don’t know why the royal family is so happy. Could it be that this is also a bad thing?
When Diana arrived, it attracted everyone's attention. Yes, it attracted everyone's attention. After all, among the nobles, there are too few girls who can look better than Diana, and they have always been the focus. Of course, if Diana did not have that snobbish grandfather, everything would be more perfect, right?
The "princess" in the minds of many noble children, well, but there seems to be rumors. Some time ago, when I was in the United States, it seemed...well, no one could confirm whether this matter was true or false.
Diana is still beautiful and charming tonight. Yes, but it gives people the feeling that this person seems to be missing something?
Well, Diana is like a doll without anger now. Well, the feeling of a puppet. Although Diana always responds well to everyone's greetings, it's like a politeness engraved in her bones.
However, Diana didn't smile. Yes, the angel-like smile is gone now, which is very heartbreaking, isn't it? It's like the most perfect picture, but it's always missing a puzzle.
"Hey, I say, our dear Count, your granddaughter doesn't seem so happy, doesn't it?" Some nobles who were familiar with Earl Istis joked unscrupulously.
"Haha, what's wrong? My Ms. Sun is the most perfect, isn't it?" Earl Istis sneered, not taking their words to heart.
"No, Earl, she is just a commodity in your eyes, isn't she?" Always dare to pierce the truth, Earl Istis's old rival, the family of both sides, has fought for nearly a hundred years.
Of course, to be honest, these two people are just happy with it. Without seeing, the two families have become so declining that they still laughably pretend to be arrogant here.
"Please pay attention to your words, this is not a gentleman, do you know? You are just jealous, jealous of me having a beautiful granddaughter."
"Your granddaughter has fallen in love with someone else, right?" The latter was not polite, although the matter between Diana and Antonio was not a special secret here.
"Bastard, what does this matter to you? Moreover, this is just an episode and will not affect Diana. I have this confidence."
"Is it? Istis, look at your granddaughter. This is what you call an episode, it's so funny."
The two of them faced each other and didn't let them go. The protagonist Diana, who was talking about, had no idea that she had become the core of the quarrel between the two counts. Well, even if she knew, what could she do?
"Antonio, I'm sorry, really, sorry." Diana sat quietly after saying hello. Yes, she sat there without saying a word, as if crystal tears were flowing down.
