Chapter 321: Chapter 319: Are All Asian Women Fox Spirits?
The young girl’s appearance was of the sweet and lovely type, indeed quite endearing, and she had a well-endowed figure, but if compared to top supermodels and stars, she didn’t hold a candle.
Boris knew that Zhenyang’s past love life, though not very rich, involved women who were mostly either famous models and stars or elegant and dignified daughters of wealthy families.
This girl... she simply shattered Boris’s imagination.
Moreover, it was said that this girl was the illegitimate daughter of the Chu family, who had been brought over to S Country only a few years ago and wasn’t the biological child of Mrs. Chu.
At this thought, Boris’s forehead wrinkled even more distinctly into the shape of the character "川", three parts dissatisfaction, seven parts disdain.
An illegitimate daughter... such status, no matter in which country in the world, was never respected and always looked down upon, especially in the real high society.
Jiayi knew that Boris, aside from being a government official of A Country and a prince of the Royal Family, was also Huo Zhenyang’s uncle.
They say a nephew is like his uncle, and the middle-aged man’s features, indeed, bore a resemblance to Huo Zhenyang’s.
Both posessed an air of aloofness, icily decisive, with a natural born sense of supremacy.
"Yes, Mr. Boris." Perhaps it was the middle-aged man’s overwhelming aura, coupled with the attitude of clear dislike written all over his face, Jiayi was even more nervous than before she came upstairs.
"Miss Chu looks younger than I imagined. Are all Asian women like you, appearing so much younger?" Boris said nonchalantly.
Jiayi’s eyelashes fluttered.
Clearly, this statement wasn’t meant as a compliment.
Boris had not called her upstairs simply to praise her youthful appearance.
Jiayi didn’t know what he really wanted, and without saying a word, just stared at Boris with wide eyes, filled with a hint of nervousness.
The young girl’s large, doe-like eyes were watery and clear, pure, and at this moment, they contained a touch of tension.
Any slightly normal man would soften at the sight of such eyes, would compromise, would willingly pluck the stars from the sky for her.
But in Boris’s view, his brows furrowed even more, a wave of disgust and anger rising in his heart, as he considered them the eyes of a vixen.
His tone was impatient, and with a lift of his chin, there was a slight air of undisguised condescension: "...or is it that all Asian women are fox spirits?"
Jiayi felt a chill in her heart, "If Mr. Boris called me upstairs just to say these things, I think there’s no need for us to continue this conversation."
She turned around, her clothing billowing in the gusty winds on the rooftop, intending to go downstairs.
Boris coldly said, "Aren’t you a citizen of S Country? Aren’t you the future Crown Princess? Is this how you treat a distinguished guest who has come from afar? Even your S Country’s Prime Minister and the Royal Family of the Ya family wouldn’t turn away my face and walk off like that. Miss Chu really is rude, truly an ill-mannered illegitimate daughter."
Is it that all men with A Country blood, from Huo Zhenyang to Boris, are so fond of bullying others with their power, so domineering and unreasonable?
The term "illegitimate daughter" felt like a needle stabbing into Jiayi’s heart.
She held back her displeasure, turned around, neither servile nor overbearing, "I came upstairs to see Mr. Boris alone because I respect you as a distinguished guest from afar. However, I believe respect should be mutual. I respect you, but you do not respect me. I see no need to respect you in return. As for being an ’illegitimate daughter,’ I don’t think that has anything to do with you, does it?"
Boris snorted, "Crown Prince Ya Chen of the Ya Family wants to marry an ’illegitimate daughter.’ I can guess; you must have used some unspeakable methods to bewitch him, right? I don’t care at all about you deceiving Ya Chen. After all, letting an ’illegitimate daughter’ become the Crown Princess is a disgrace to the Ya Family, not a concern of our A Country. But your seducing Huo Zhenyang and causing him to compete with Ya Chen for you, that is my business. I absolutely will not allow you, because of you, our country’s relationship with A Country to be damaged!"
Every word from Boris was filled with disdain, his voice becoming increasingly severe toward the end, almost suffocating.
He paused for a moment, arrogantly adding, "This year, I don’t know what disgusting tactics you’ve used to make it impossible for Zhenyang to leave you, even at the cost of a conflict with the Ya Family. But let me tell you, don’t delude yourself into thinking this is real love. For a man of high status, such favor is too easy, something he could offer to countless women. Right now, he just hasn’t grown tired of you yet, little girl."
In Jiayi’s mind, the so-called modern aristocracy should be polite, well-mannered, and speak gently, never raising their voice too much.
Turns out, the remnants of royalty and nobility left in this world don’t hesitate to use the dirtiest of words to scorn others.
Maybe the former her would have meekly hung her head and quietly swallowed the insult.
But now, she would not allow herself to be bullied anymore. She had had enough.
Besides, she was now standing on her own country’s territory; it was not Boris’s place to look down on her, regardless of how high his status might be!
Jiayi calmed the turmoil inside her, secretly clenching her fists. Her eyes narrowed, and she shot back without hesitation:
"I’m not aware of where you saw me seducing Zhenyang. As you said, I’m going to marry Ya Chen! I don’t know if I have damaged the harmony between the two countries, but your baseless insults against the Crown Princess of S Country definitely will!"
Boris did not expect this seemingly delicate, sweet Asian girl to talk back so sharply. He was momentarily choked up, unable to utter a word.
If a dog bites you, you can’t just bite back like a dog. Jiayi wasn’t interested in talking any more with Boris. If they never met again, so be it:
"I won’t take to heart what Mr. Boris said to me earlier. I’ll just let it in through one ear and out the other! But if Mr. Boris continues to speak such insults, I will definitely tell the Ya Family! I refuse to believe that the Ya Family will ignore a ’distinguished guest’ who insults their future Crown Princess!"
Having said that, her petite figure turned and started walking downstairs.
Boris suddenly understood why Zhenyang was so interested in this little Asian girl and was reluctant to let her go!
She was a little enchantress who knew how to capture people’s hearts.
As a man, of course, he wouldn’t want to give up such an interesting toy.
In his life, no woman had ever dared to threaten him given his status and position from birth.
If she dared to use the Ya Family to threaten him, then it was also possible that she would fan the flames in Zhenyang’s ear, causing discord.
A chilling sternness suddenly appeared in Boris’s deep blue, gem-like eyes.
He strode forward quickly and blocked Jiayi’s path.
Boris, tall and imposing, covered the distance of Jiayi’s six or seven steps in a few long strides, easily blocking her way.
