Volume 2 Amber Chapter 54: Take Her Down
"Welcome, Professor Yulai."
The living room on the first floor of the villa is very bright.
The decoration inside is also very luxurious.
A middle-aged blond man with a mustache stood up from the sofa, walked to Mrs. Youlai, gracefully took her hand and kissed the back of her fingers.
At this time, two women, one big and one small, came over. They were Mrs. Pompey and her daughter Rebecca.
Rebecca was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by Mrs. Pompey.
"Good morning, Mrs. Youlai."
They each kissed Mrs. Youlai and greeted her in a friendly manner.
"Good morning, the distinguished Lord Viscount Pompey, the beautiful Lady Pompey, and the lovely Miss Rebecca."
Mrs. Youlai responded politely.
Viscount Pompey turned his head and looked at the young man beside her.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, Your Excellency, this is Mr. Jack, a good friend of mine..."
Mrs. Youlai began to introduce Viscount Pompey.
During this time, Rebecca, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was secretly looking at Chen Lun.
"He's so handsome..."
She thought to herself, blinking her moist eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttering.
"Prettier than those other young nobles."
After Mrs. Youlai gave a brief introduction, Viscount Pompey nodded slightly.
"Welcome to Pompeii Manor, Mr. Jack."
He stretched out his hand and said.
Viscount Pompey's voice was flat, without any pretense or enthusiasm.
"Since you are a friend of Mrs. Youlai, you must attend the breakfast later."
"It is my pleasure, Monsieur Viscount."
Chen Lun shook hands with him and smiled politely.
But the solemnity in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he glanced at the ring on the viscount's ring finger without leaving a trace.
Viscount Pompey nodded, quickly released his hand, and gestured to Butler Binoz.
"How about we eat and talk at the same time?"
"It is up to the host, Monsieur Viscount."
The old butler Binoz understood and asked the maid to prepare breakfast.
Some maids went to the kitchen to inform the cook, and some maids began to decorate the restaurant. Everything was in order.
When everyone was seated and the meal was not yet served, Mrs. Pompey spoke:
"Mrs. Youlai, Rebecca's studies for the next few months will be in your hands."
"I haven't had time to explain it to you yet, Mrs. Pompey."
Mrs. Youlai had already taken off her wide-brimmed hat and handed it to the maid. She adjusted her hair and looked apologetic.
"Please forgive me, I haven't been feeling well lately, and I'm afraid I can't handle this job..."
Mrs. Pompey and the Viscount looked at each other, and saw a hint of confusion on each other's faces.
If this were the case, there was no way Mrs. Youlai would have accepted the invitation.
Viscount Pompey even frowned slightly.
As far as he knew, Mrs. Youlai was in good health, and what she was saying now was obviously an excuse.
“For this purpose, I found Mr. Jack, who is not only my good friend, but also a scholar whom I admire…
Mr. Jack has just arrived in Amber City, but his ability is unquestionable."
Mrs. Youlai said, smiling.
"He happens to be good at literature, history and nature, and is the perfect choice to be Miss Rebecca's tutor."
Rebecca's eyes lit up when she heard her words.
But Viscount Pompey and his wife both looked gloomy at the same time.
The Viscount looked at the young man at the table and said bluntly:
"I've seen many young people who are good at talking and can boast about anything, but in reality they are idiots in action."
His words were not subtle at all, and both Mrs. Youlai and Chen Lun could hear the distrust in them.
"I don't think that's appropriate, Mrs. Uley."
Mrs. Pompey didn't distrust Chen Lun's talent . What she cared more about was that he was a young man.
If he were to be Rebecca's tutor , it would inevitably affect her daughter's reputation. And he was so handsome, which was a dangerous signal for Rebecca.
Faced with the resistance of Viscount Pompey and his wife, Chen Lun's expression remained unchanged and he was still smiling.
He glanced at the gold ring with diamonds on Viscount Pompey's hand.
"That ring... is a spiritual protection [weird object]. This is going to be difficult."
Without the ability to use [Siren's Song] for hypnosis, it would be difficult to convince Viscount Pompey with eloquence alone .
While I was thinking about countermeasures secretly, Rebecca said:
"Just let this gentleman have a try, Mom and Dad."
She sat upright like a lady, and held Mrs. Pompey's arm coquettishly.
"I am eager to learn. It is too boring to stay at home."
"But, Rebecca..."
Mrs. Pompey looked a little embarrassed.
But when she looked at her daughter's cute face and pitiful appearance, she finally softened her heart.
"Okay... let this gentleman try."
She glanced at her husband, who curled his lips.
Just at this moment, the maid brought the breakfast and the butler Binoz opened the lid.
Viscount Pompey placed the tablecloth on his chest, picked up his knife and fork, and prepared to eat a steak.
"In that case, after the breakfast, Mr. Jack will give Rebecca the first lesson."
He said it indifferently.
But I have made up my mind that once today is over, this guy won't need to come tomorrow.
Noble etiquette must be followed and Madam Youlai should not be embarrassed on the spot.
The breakfast at the Viscount’s house was sumptuous, the dishes were high quality, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
When the breakfast was over, Mrs. Youlai said goodbye and left.
Perhaps because he was worried about his daughter being alone in a room with a strange man, Chen Lun was arranged to teach Rebecca in the garden.
There was a large parasol on the lawn, with pure white carved wooden tables and chairs placed underneath.
Chen Lun sat opposite Rebecca, holding a copy of "Selected Works of Trisur Literature" in his hand, and spoke verbatim.
He looked past the book in his hand and saw Viscount Pompey and his wife walking in the garden. Their eyes kept sweeping over him, fearing that he would do something inappropriate.
"Mr. Jack, where are you from?"
Rebecca obviously wasn't listening, but asked with a curious look on her face.
Butler Binoz was standing not far from the two of them with his hands behind his back, carrying out the mission of "supervision".
"Well, my hometown is in the distant Yanbang Bronze City Peacock City...
Miss Rebecca, please study hard first, otherwise I may not be able to teach you tomorrow."
Chen Lun smiled and Rebecca's eyes widened immediately.
The sunlight shines down, illuminating the face of the black-haired young man, making it sparkle.
She couldn't help but blush.
"No, I will tell my father that you taught me well..."
The old butler Binoz at the side couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Is this as if he doesn't exist?
He felt more and more contempt for Chen Lun. He just recited the textbook word for word. How could he be considered a scholar with this level of ability?
Anyone who can read at least a little bit on the street can do better than him!
"Miss Rebecca, what do you think of literature?"
Chen Lun withdrew his attention from Viscount and Viscount Pompey and asked Rebecca softly.
He made up his mind to start with this girl.
Make sure to capture her!
