“I turned off your alarm clock in order to let you sleep a little longer. As a result, you complained to me. You finished talking like a machine gun and hung up. Do you think I have a chance to remind you?”
I was speechless.
This bastard is really a good dumper.
But what should I do? God, it’s killing me.
I stretched out my hand to cover my forehead, thinking that after I came to the construction site this morning, someone saw me limping. I told others that I had just got out of the car and accidentally fell.
Now, I want to hit a face.
I put down my teacup and wondered if I wanted to skip work.
But… I can’t. Today, the construction team is cleaning holes, so I can’t leave.
There was a really big leak in the house because it rained all night.
All afternoon, I worked so hard, completely ignoring other people’s eyes.
Until five o’clock in the afternoon, when my work is over, I can finally pack my things and go first.
But at this moment, the rumored one-night Mr. Shinjiro, Cheney, came.
He got out of the car and walked to me.
I grind my teeth. This guy, who doesn’t stay in the company always, comes here to show off what he can do? How could he?
I avoided his eyes and turned to talk to the workers.
Cheney walked right behind me and said, “Honey, I’m coming to pick you up.”
I turned around, looked at him and frowned. “I can go back by myself.”
“I know you can go back, but don’t you have leg pain? Let’s go, I’ll take you back. There is a family dinner tonight. We have to attend together.”
“Family dinner?”
“The Fischer family has a family dinner twice a year, which is a rule set when my great grandfather was still here. At that time, relatives from far and near will come to the Fischer’s mansion for dinner, that is, a group of people will have a meal together.”
I went to the RV and changed my overall outfit before I got into Cheney’s car.
At the door of the Fischer’s mansion, it was already full of cars.
I looked at the red lanterns hanging at the door, and was somewhat surprised. “So grand, even the lanterns are hung.”
“After all, it is only twice a year, and it always has to be done.”
The car pulled into the Fischer’s mansion, stopped in the garage, and I went back to the Jade Court to clean up before following Cheney to the Peony Hall.
When I walked through the arch and into the courtyard, I hesitated.
Isn’t it a family dinner?
I whispered to Cheney next to me, “Why do you have so many relatives in your family?”
“A large family like the Fischer family holds a family banquet, and anyone who can touch some relatives with us, regardless of whether it is the son of a cousin’s aunt or the daughter of a cousin’s sister-in-law, will squeeze their heads into it.”
I looked at him speechless. I had seen someone who bragged about his own home, but I had never seen such a blow.
But… this yard full of people, actually has seventy or eighty people at least.
It is indeed the glory of the family, and there are more relatives. It always makes sense to say that there are no relatives in a poor family.
When someone saw that we were back, they came forward to greet us. “Uncle, I am really glad to see you.”
Cheney nodded to him, said nothing, and led me forward.
I wondered, “Don’t you talk to others?”
“I don’t know him.”
I shook my head, but thought about something. That is also a reasonable thing.
When he came to Grandpa and Grandma to say hello, he took me aside and sat down.
From time to time, someone comes to greet Cheney. He has a cold face and nods politely. Besides, he doesn’t say a superfluous word to others.
I watched others come with great interest, and then walked awkwardly, all of them felt ashamed and panicked.
“Otherwise, you’d better finish eating and leave.”
He slanted at me, “I should go?”
“Yes, you see that when you are here, others always want to please you, and then stick your cold ass with a hot face, and the impression on you will not be very good. No wonder the outside world rumors that you are ruthless, you are like that. Are you not bothered about your own reputation?”
He raised his eyebrows. “Thousands of people have thousands of hearts and people are awesome. If I cared about what others said, I would have died hundreds of times. It was not depression, but also drowned by saliva.”
Yes, standing in this position, he naturally bears the pressure that others can’t bear.
But… is it true that other people’s comments are completely indifferent to him?
Not really, he doesn’t know how much he has to go through before he can practice such an invulnerable heart.
Not far away, Rashad came over and smirked, “Uncle and aunt, sit together. There are too many flies over there, which makes your ears hurt.”
As he spoke, people had already sat down.
Before we could say anything, Wyatt came up with his secretary behind him.
Wyatt sat down comfortably beside Rashad with a glass in his hand. “Cheney is here, too. I thought you would be absent like last time.”
“It’s good for you to manage yourself. If I am absent, it is not something you need to manage.”
“Of course I don’t care about you, pure heir. I just always wanted to say congratulations to you. You should be very happy to hear that Flora is awake.”
Referring to Flora, I see Cheney and Rashad looking at Wyatt with sharp eyes at the same time.
Judging from their reaction, is it possible that Flora’s accident has something to do with Wyatt?
Wyatt seems to have not seen it, and continues, “But Cheney, as a person who has been there before, I can remind you that that girl, after all, was like your play-thing. You are married now, and you still have to distinguish between primary and secondary, don’t you think?”
Rashad rubbed up and said unhappily, “Dad, this is our young people’s territory, so you also need to mind your own business.”
Wyatt gave Rashad a cold look. “Sit down, the elders are talking, and it’s not your turn to interrupt.”
“So what you said is what an elder should say? I can’t listen to it, let alone others.”
“If you can’t listen, you can go,” Wyatt said coldly. “It’s not your turn to teach me a lesson yet. So shut up.”
He said, looking at Cheney, with a provocative look in his dull eyes.
