Behind the commercial and residential areas, there is a large forest, not developed, but when passing by you can see the starry rooftops, Owen would not have hidden his father David there, or, simply hidden in this resort where people come and go.
Leanne decided to test again, although Owen’s words can reveal that he is very familiar with this resort, but also does not exclude the possibility that he is indeed a regular stay here.
After calling the desk and ordering a tuna salad, Leanne opened a bottle of champagne and sipped it while she waited.
Gu is at home.
“And you know to come back.”
Vinson has found Shirley’s trail, so he plans to go home to check on Carl’s situation and talk to Gu at length about the bride price.
“Father, what’s going on with Ina? How did she get her company employee card?” Vinson took off his jacket and hung it on the coat rack by the door, walked unassumingly to the couch and sat down.
“Why don’t you ask yourself how you left Ina out in the cold before, you did something good to make me clean up for you.” Gu is dropping the newspaper in his hand and blowing his beard in anger.
“I told you plainly, I don’t like Ina at all, Gu’s won’t collapse without the help of her Ge family, so why do you have to get Ina into the company to add to the mess.”
“You married that Leanne into the family is the one who is adding to the chaos of our Gu family, her whole family are devils who eat people without spitting bones, do you have to wait until she empties the Gu’s to wake up?”
“The one who emptied Gu is your precious son Carl, who wants the family to help him set things right after he did something wrong himself.”
“He is your brother, why don’t you help him, do you have to help Leanne, that outsider!” Gu was getting so angry that his eyes turned red.
“Then let the Lin mother and daughter go to the police!” Vinson was too lazy for this meaningless conversation and was ready to go upstairs to get his stuff.
“Stop, is that how you speak to your father! Can you just stand by and watch your brother go to jail? Besides, your brother just called someone, but he wasn’t there!”
“Is not being there not a crime? Does he not understand that you do not understand?”
“You bite a crime, say as if your brother is as evil as the ten evils, you have to remember clearly, it is Judy gunning for your brother Carl, it is all you, run Gu’s into this kind of brand known to the world, they are rushing to blackmail your brother with the name of Gu’s ah! If the old man hadn’t given Gu to you in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened today.”
“Father, running Gu is a responsibility given to me by grandfather, and I have the obligation to carry Gu forward, this has nothing to do with Carl making a mistake, please father one size fits all.”
“The Lin family wants ten percent of the shares, your brother if the ten percent to Bob and Annie and them, then he himself will be left with eight percent, after you let him how to live ah, married a broken woman, the money is still not spent, your brother is not living well, let people know the jokes will have to be you Vinson,” Gu is putting The table was slapped with a snap.
“Father, if you oust Ina, I will pay half of Carl’s bride price, and you should pay the remaining half, after all, you are the father.”
“Ina can’t go no matter what.” Gu is being forceful in his attitude.
“Then you’ll settle the share issue yourself.” Vinson went upstairs to take out the paperwork he was to pick up and prepared to leave.
“Are you going to stand by and watch Carl as he falls into the fire?”
“It was he himself who threw him into the fire.” Vinson said and walked away without looking back.
Bob’s home.
Annie took out one piece from time to time and put it on Judy who was sitting against the sofa.
“This dress has a big hemline, Judy must look even more beautiful than a princess in it.” Annie’s excitement had not yet passed.
“Mom, I don’t have the heart.” Judy, still frighteningly thin, looked listlessly at the room of glitz and glamour.
“Judy, the most important thing in a girl’s life is to get married, aren’t you looking forward to your wedding?”
“I was looking forward, no, I was looking forward, how could I look forward to marrying this scum, my future, the most important thing in my life, was ruined by this Carl.” Tears flowed down Judy’s slim cheeks and dripped onto the white wedding dress.
“Who else could you marry if not him, a woman’s reputation is important.”
Judy cried harder at Annie’s words.
“Marry Carl, claim to the public that the photo is a love affair between your young couple, this is the only way to save you, do you still want to continue acting, by then Carl take out Gu’s shares as a bride price to you, the money in hand still worry about living a good life!”
“Mom, you’re trading my life for money!” Judy slammed the expensive wedding dress to the ground.
“Judy, there must be a way to the mountain, now we can grab what is what ah, you children do not be capricious, once upon a time marriage are parents’ orders matchmaker’s words, now your uncle and I think Carl is the best home for you you want us to listen.”
“Why should Leanne marry Vinson and I have to marry that scumbag Carl.”
“Later, after you enter the Gu family door there is plenty of later, you will be in front of Vinson every day then, still afraid that there is no opportunity?”
After hearing Annie’s words, Judy was quite enlightened, “Mom, then I will choose the most beautiful wedding dress, Vinson will definitely attend his brother’s wedding, I want him to look at me and regret that he chose Leanne instead of me.”
“Think so Judy, she Leanne still has a baby with her, it’s better than you, Vinson will see you.”
Her feet were as thin as dried branches, no matter which pair of shoes she stepped into, they didn’t fit.
“How about these shoes mom.”
“Fine, whatever Judy likes is fine.”
“I’m so skinny now, it would look bad if I wore a strapless dress, I want the kind of wedding dress with lace sleeves, like the kind Princess Kate wore.”
“Like this.” Annie’s eyes were sharp and she spotted one hidden in the pile of clothes and took it out to show Judy.
Elegant seven-point flared sleeves, delicate hand-woven lace with Swarovski rhinestones, a skirt in a light champagne color, and fresh flowers hidden in layers of soft gauze.
“Wearing a veil, you will be as beautiful as a fairy.”
Judy was immersed in the beautiful dream Annie had prepared for her and smiled a smile she hadn’t shown in a long time.
