As Jiahuan thought about it, she gradually felt sad in her heart, and couldn't help taking out the photo of moy that Thomas gave her from the drawer.

This woman who looks like a mother is the real moy and Thomas' true lover.Jiahuan took a deep breath, trying not to let tears fall, she put the photo on her chest, and vowed to find this woman, definitely...

"A legend tells of a beautiful woman named Lorelei who was cursed by the devil because she was too beautiful, and was forced to use her beautiful face and graceful singing to lure the boatmen on the Rhine River.

The boatmen couldn't resist this tempting temptation, and became distraught, forgetting the rapids of the Rhine and those dangerous shoals that were deadly, and could no longer concentrate on sailing the boat well, causing the boat to crash and people to die.

Lorelai is distressed by the disaster she has caused, but cannot escape the curse.Finally, she jumped off the cliff helplessly and into the Rhine River, burying her youth. "Jia Huan was wearing a champagne backless evening dress, and her fair skin shone like pearls under the light. Her smile was clear and sweet, and her long, creamy fingers were elegantly holding a crystal wine glass, with a standard Parisian accent. The sound of the harp accompanied by him is even more pleasant.

The guests listened intently, and nodded thoughtfully after a long time, and swayed the red wine in the glass with Jiahuan's fingers.

Jiahuan gracefully swung her wine glass and continued her unfinished speech:

"This kind of red wine called 'Tears of Lorelei' uses grapes grown only a few hundred meters away from the cliffs of Lorelei. The glass in everyone's hands has been preserved for 50 years. Some people say that Lorelai is a charming and deadly devil, and some people say that she is a kind and fearless angel, but I don't think so."

"Then, Miss Moy, what do you think of 'Lorelei'?" Zhao Nianen asked with a smile of interest.

Before the reception, Thomas personally introduced this middle-aged man to Jia Huan. He has a fat head, big ears and a big belly, with the appearance of a typical rich Chinese businessman.Although he is not a frequent visitor to Sherlock Castle, he is one of the distinguished guests invited by Thomas today, and Jiahuan will naturally not neglect him.

Jia Huan nodded with a smile, and slowly scanned the audience with her eyes, silently calculating the best time to sober up:

"In my eyes, Lorelai is both an angel and a devil, just like the fine wine in this hand, which is unstoppable but unsustainable. You know, there are only 10 bottles of 'Lorelai's Tears' in the entire Sherlock Castle , Now it’s all in everyone’s wine glasses. So—to the generous Sir Thomas!” After Jiahuan finished speaking, he raised his wine glass high and paid tribute to Thomas first.

When the guests heard her change of subject, they were surprised at first, and then they were infected by the elegance and humor of the carnival. They felt that the wine in their hands was rare and precious, and they all looked at Thomas and toasted respectfully.

Today is the 20th birthday dinner hosted by Sir Thomas for his beloved daughter's family. Many famous nobles, nobles, gentry and beauties came to celebrate, and Sherlock Castle is also alive and bright again.

Seeing Jiahuan's noble and energetic appearance, no one could imagine the unhappiness they had just had the night before.

Jiahuan quickly inspected the scene of the reception again, further confirming that there is no one named "Xiao Yinuo" among the guests tonight.

If Xiao Yinuo didn't show up, naturally there would be no talk of marriage.As expected, Daddy still loves himself, and finally changed his mind for himself.Jiahuan nodded gratefully to Thomas, raised her head and drank the red wine in the glass.

The red liquid swam lingeringly in her mouth, and the unique and overbearing mellow aroma quickly stimulated and controlled her taste buds.Jiahuan was inexplicably excited and suddenly wanted to cry, but she knew she couldn't, at least not yet.

She is the protagonist tonight, not only representing the honor of the Thomas family, but also the best opportunity for her to be grateful and repay Thomas.Judging from Thomas' expression, he was very satisfied with his performance just now.

This kind of reception has long been common in Sherlock Castle, but as the protagonist and successfully appearing in front of everyone, it has long been the mission of Jiahuan.

She will never forget the day she officially became "moy" eight years ago.The maid graciously permed her long hair into fluffy curls, and put on a delicate white gauze dress for her.The unhealed scars on Jiahuan's body were carefully covered up by the makeup artist with foundation, and Thomas led her down the spiral staircase like a princess, and appeared in front of the guests.

She couldn't understand the French spoken by others, and she didn't dare to speak. The huge crystal chandelier in the center of the hall was as dazzling as an upside-down hill, so bright that she couldn't look directly at it.She lowered her head timidly, staring at the marble floor under her feet that was smoother than Xiling Lake, quietly counting the Roman pillars decorated with golden carvings, everything was so illusory, it was beyond her expectation in her dreams .

Thomas' act of adopting her seemed incredible to others. Perhaps it was these criticisms and hidden contempt that invisibly stimulated their stubborn nerves.While Thomas loves him like a loving father, he continues to cultivate Jiahuan carefully, and Jiahuan is also very competitive and quickly reborn, bringing Thomas many unexpected surprises.

She becomes regal, elegant, witty and, if necessary, sexy, mysterious and alluring.Whether it is a noble family or a business friend, they all involuntarily accepted an oriental elf named Moy in Sherlock Castle.

Jia Huan put down his wine glass, looking for Si Baining's shadow with joy in his eyes.The reception where Xiao Yinuo was not present, explained from another angle, is that Thomas admitted her relationship with Si Boning.Jiahuan really wanted to tell Si Boning about this surprise discovery as soon as possible.

Finally, I saw Si Boning's tall and straight figure next to the band. The elegant black suit and pure white shirt were well-regulated, but Si Boning looked extraordinary in his body.I saw Si Boning standing next to the band, talking to the white-bearded conductor.After a while, the lights in the hall dimmed, and the small symphony band played a brisk birthday song in an instant.

Jiahuan once again became the focus of everyone.

"Pa~" At some point, Thomas came to Jiahuan and snapped his fingers.Only then did Jia Huan turn her eyes back with a blushing face, as usual, she gently took Daddy's arm and acted like a baby.

The maid Katie received the order and carefully pushed the cake trolley in front of Jiahuan.

The lavender multi-tiered birthday cake is "blooming" with clusters of white lily-of-the-valley flowers carefully carved with icing sugar, pistils made of pearl jelly beans, and the frills on the edges of the petals.There are a few silver butterflies fluttering and dancing among the flowers, feeling like a mysterious garden in summer.

On the top of the cake is a round azure blue transparent lake. An elegant white swan roams leisurely on the surface of the lake. The ripples are graceful and far away, as clear as a corner of the quiet sky.

"It's so beautiful~" "It's a work of art!" The guests were amazed.

Jiahuan raised her head and met Thomas' warm eyes: "Thank you, Daddy~"

Thomas lovingly stroked Jiahuan's head: "My dear moy~ make a wish."

Jia Huan nodded and closed her eyes, thinking that she could be with Si Boning in an open and aboveboard way, her happiness was beyond words.She clasped her hands together and said softly, "May Daddy always be healthy and happy forever!" After finishing speaking, Jia Huan slowly opened her eyes, and the candlelight danced cheerfully, igniting the affection hidden in her eyes.With blessings and applause, Jiahuan blew out the candles.

The lights were turned on again, Thomas raised his hand to signal to everyone, the guests quickly stopped talking, leaving only the continuous music.

Thomas' voice was loud and solemn:

"Today, I want to announce a good news to everyone! My daughter, Moy, is going to have a wedding with Mr. Xiao Yinuo next week! Here, I would like to invite my best friend - also Xiao Yinuo's uncle, the famous entrepreneur Zhao Nianen from China gentlemen……"

Jiahuan only felt a loud "boom" in his head, followed by a series of piercing beeps, one after another.

This Zhao Nianen, he turned out to be Xiao Yinuo's uncle? !

Jiahuan didn't have time to think about it, but Zhao Nianen walked up to Thomas, the two hugged with a smile, and then he hugged Jiahuan equally affectionately, and kissed her on the cheek.

Jia Huan stood there numbly, her mind went blank, thinking that the middle-aged man in front of her was actually Xiao Yinuo's uncle, her heart had already sunk into the bottomless abyss.

All the guests smiled and clapped their hands enthusiastically, Jiahuan couldn't hear what they were talking about, and couldn't understand what they were so happy about.They have never met "Xiao Yinuo" before, and it is even more impossible for them to know each other.How hypocritical!

Jia Huan looked aside disdainfully, and caught a glimpse of herself in the oval mirror on the wall.The French-style hair is meticulously raised on the top of the head, with a noble and elegant temperament. There is a slight blush on the cheeks as white as jade, which is the warmth and plumpness unique to young skin, and the corners of the mouth are naturally raised upwards as if showing off.

It turns out that the smiling mask has been worn for a long time, and even I can't tell which ones are from the heart and which ones are out of habit.

Zhao Nianen looked at Jiahuan affectionately, his eyes shone with shrewdness.I don't know what he said to Thomas, and they both patted their shoulders together and laughed "haha".Then Zhao Nianen stretched out his right hand to Jiahuan very gentlemanly:

"Can I ask you to dance?"

Despite all the reluctance, Jiahuan still has no reason to refuse.She glanced at Thomas inadvertently, and immediately regretted it in her heart.She should have thought that she would not be able to get any information from Thomas' face. After years of aristocratic life, even she herself has become hypocritical, and it has long been their instinct to show emotions.

The jade-like shiny little hand slowly fell into Zhao Nianen's fat hand. Seeing him squinting and looking at her greedily, Jiahuan smiled and nodded, walking with him into the dance floor with reserved and steady steps.

Uncle, what a ridiculous title.Regardless of whether Xiao Yinuo is beautiful or ugly, tall or short, fat or thin, as long as marriage is so important and sacred, the other party only has one "uncle"! ?Is this deliberately embarrassing himself and insulting himself, or is it that Xiao Yinuo and his family have always handled things so freely?It's ridiculous!

What made Jiahuan even more unreasonable was that Thomas actually announced her marriage when Xiao Yinuo himself was not present...
