Buena was in no mood to stay at school after being slapped by Paula Rouco.
Analeigh and Rio had things to do in the afternoon, so after the morning school day, the trio headed for the school gates in pairs.
A black Range Rover pulled up in front of them.
Buena, the typical person who forgets her scars, raised her red lips in triumph, waved to Analeigh and Rio and said, “Excuse me, I’ll go first, my boyfriend is coming to pick me up.”
Rio laughed, “Rich indeed, boyfriend in a Land Rover, impressive indeed, Good you have a good eye.”
Analeigh said, “Next time let’s get Paulita together for lunch. Next time we’ll make a date.”
Buena’s eyes fluttered at the mention of Paula Rouco, but she quickly disguised it, the corners of her mouth tugging at the corners, and said, “Another date.”
Then, he opened the door and climbed into the Range Rover.
Pulling out of the school driveway.
As soon as Buena got into the car, she hugged the man in the suit sitting in the back seat.
The man was in his mid-thirties, average looking, considered a looker, but because of his business career, he seemed more mature and stable.
Buena hung around his partner’s neck and pouted, “I’ve been harassed by my colleagues today, you have to do me justice.”
The man’s name is Vidal Carda and he is the owner of El Hotel Gammon.
Vidal Carda smiled at the sight of his red face and sneered, “You have such a violent temper and someone dares to hit you? It seems the other one is a powerful man.”
Buena frowned and squirmed in the man’s arms, saying, “Doesn’t it hurt that I’ve been beaten and you laugh? See that I’m disfigured.”
“It’s not that exaggerated. It’s not disfiguring to be slapped in the face. Be a good girl and stop doing it.”
Vidal Carda pulls Buena out of his arms.
Buena’s temper felt like a fist hitting absorbent cotton and she got a little upset, “I’m difficult, you have to be responsible for me.”
Vidal Carda, who is fluent with this type of woman, asks, “Which purse do you want this time?”.
For the past three years, Vidal Carda has bought her every luxury she has wanted and has been very generous in this regard, but he has been slow to offer her marriage or make it work.
Buena rubbed up against me and fell into Vidal Carda’s arms, saying softly, “I’m tired of giving away bags every day, don’t you get tired of that?”
“And this time, what do you want?”
A glint of calculation shone in Buena’s eyes as she said, “You said before that you would buy a house for someone, but you haven’t done it until now. Can’t you dispose of the money?”
At the mention of the house, Vidal Carda blinked and frowned, “That house … do you think it’s that easy to buy? Besides, even if you decide to buy it, you have to see the house and the property, and you know, I’m very busy with my work, how am I going to have time to accompany you to see the house?”
Buena did not give up and said, “I don’t need you to accompany me to look, I have seen everything, there are villa areas above the second ring oasis, the oasis in the middle of the center, the property above the Luzhou flower garden, each family is a single house, the yard is big, the sunshine is good.”
A look of difficulty crossed Vidal Carda’s eyes, “O Good, buying a house, let alone a villa, is a big deal.”
“You couldn’t spare any money for me?”
Vidal Carda was a little impatient, he usually bought her luxury items, handbags and so on, amounting to more than 100. 000, they were small figures, well said, but the area of Luzhou Hua Yuan villa, a villa of several tens of millions of dollars, spend so much money on a mistress, Vidal Carda did not think it was worth it.
In addition, he spent tens of millions of dollars on a villa all at once and feared that he would alarm the home …
At the thought of the consequences, Vidal Carda refused without the slightest hesitation, saying, “We’ll talk about the villa later, I’m too busy these days.”
Buena was a bully, but when Vidal Carda wouldn’t let him, he could do nothing but give in.
Buena sat in the Range Rover, looking out the window at the passing landscape and biting her red lip with resignation.
Severo Laris has been broken up with Paula Rouco for seven years, but he still favors her in everything.
Severo Laris, now unattainable for his price, has no comparison with this Vidal Carda.
He is twenty-five years old and will soon be of marriageable age.
He cannot stand idle any longer. He must marry into a wealthy family while he is young.
…
At noon, Rufio’s treat.
I booked a large VIP package at the Grand Hyatt.
Susana spat, “We’re just a few old friends, we’d better find a big booth. The food here, it’s not much better.”
Lastra scoffed, “I say, fellow Ye, you haven’t married our fellow Sheng yet, and you’re still trying to save money for him, is this really appropriate?”
Susana: “I was wrong, really eating pickled fish in a roadside stand reservation is more humane than eating Australian prawns here, isn’t it?”
Lastra said, “That’s right, we can still order a barbecue and have a drink or something at the big stalls.”
Rufio said, “So old Lin, Paulita, where do you want to go to eat?”
Paula Rouco said, “It looks like the pickled fish in the big stalls smells better.”
Severo Laris smiled slightly and agreed with the future Mrs. Laris, “I agree.”
Rufio said, “Since everyone wants to go for pickled fish, let’s go to the big stand.”
Then the group moved on and found one of Imperial’s most famous stalls.
Luckily there was a private table, the last one, which was reserved by Rufio.
The booths in the stalls are small and the round tables are not that big, so five people at a table are much more human than in the luxury of a large restaurant booth.
Rufio ordered a few large plates and then handed the menus to the others, “Order whatever you want, you’re welcome.”
Susana and Paula Rouco looked at the menu together and ordered some tapas and a grill.
Severo Laris ordered a few dishes, stewed shrimp, shredded potatoes with green peppers and egg soup with tomato.
Lastra was surprised, “Lao Lin, you eat this at home, why do you come to a stall and keep eating this, you can’t get enough?”
Severo Laris said lightly, “I used to follow someone who used to eat, and he loved them, so he ate a lot.”
Paula Rouco, sitting next to him, curls her eyelashes slightly, keeps silent and plays dead.
Rufio’s intriguing gaze went back and forth between the two as he said, “I mean, old Lin, Paulita, it’s been seven years, so at least we’re old friends, how about a reconciliation today?”
After a while the food arrived, the waiter came over with a couple of bottles of Erhuotou.
Lastra is one to play with the mood and even more so to look Rufio in the eye.
Lastra opened the wine, poured a glass for everyone, raised his glass, stood up and said, “Come, it’s been seven years since we met, let’s toast today to our reunion!”.
The rest of the group stood up with their glasses and did not push him away.
Only when Paula Rouco asked for a drink, Severo Laris took the glass out of her hand and said, “You don’t have alcohol, drink the juice.”
She has to take medication for depression and drink alcohol, which is not good for her health.
Paula Rouco frowned slightly, but she didn’t like the spicy white wine very much either.
Lastra and Rufio are not the wine pourers either.
Rufio said, “Susana, Paulita, you two just drink the juice, today we three brothers drink white, you two drink juice, then we three brothers get drunk, we have to buy you two women drivers, take us back.”
Susana gave him a blank stare, “Drink like an alcoholic and I’ll throw you on the road!”.
There was much laughter and a great atmosphere.
