Jonny's lips opened and closed again.
Why did this sound so awkward?
"Well, I'll bring my friends here for dinner in the future. You have to give me a discount."
"That's easy." Cherry didn't show any weakness, "Tonight you come here for dinner, it's not for free. I've taken photos, and tomorrow it will be reported. By the way, help me publicize it. "
"You..." This was the real Cherry he knew.
"Drive slowly. I have a guests upstairs, so I won't see you off." She said simply and went upstairs.
The friend next to him patted him and said, "Why don't you leave? You've been watching her for five years, but you're not tired of her? "
He curled his lips.
He hadn't been tired of her after five years? How could it be possible? She was not a beauty!
But why did he feel so bad?
As soon as he entered his exclusive car of seven seats, his mother called him, "Jonny, come and have dinner with me tomorrow night."
"What's up? Is it a big festival? " He said lazily.
"Well. No... " Donna lowered her voice, "Your younger brother ran away from home a few days ago. Your brother brought him back. Tonight, your father said that he would teach him a good lesson. I'm afraid I can't handle him alone. You'd better go home and save him. "
Jonny said casually, "I don't know if I'll be free or not. When dad saw me, he didn't look good, did he? Besides, my brother is there, isn't he? "
"Your brother won't say a word even if he is hit by a stick!" Donna was anxious, "That's a deal. You must come back tomorrow night."
Before he could refuse, his quick-tempered mother had hung up the phone.
He sighed and thought of the cold figure just now.
Maybe he should ask his brother what he really thought of Cherry.
Jonny would be the last one to come when the family had dinner together.
This time, there was no exception.
As soon as he opened the door, York snorted.
Donna mediated, "Oh, Jonny is filming on the set today. He can only come here after asking for a leave from the crew. It's not easy."
York glanced at his son, who was wearing a cheeky face. He really didn't believe what Donna said.
Nancy Nalan pulled out a chair for her second elder brother. Jonny blinked at his little sister and said, "Thank you."
"Okay, everyone is here. Let's eat."
Richard moved his chopsticks, and Jonny noticed something was wrong.
His hand was still injured.
'Was he hit by father?' He wondered.
At the table, the atmosphere was horribly low.
Everyone was like a copy of Jacob. They just ate the rice in their bowls, didn't pick up food, and didn't say anything.
Jonny couldn't help it.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, did Cherry invite you there last night?"
Jacob raised his head and glanced at him.
"Yes." He replied softly without a more word.
Jonny didn't give up. "When did you become so familiar with her?" He couldn't help ridiculing him, "Don't forget that she is the one who caused your injury. Besides, Mr. Gavin is only temporarily detained. If he is released at any time, I think you will be in danger. It's better to keep a distance from this kind of woman. "
As soon as his mother heard that he was injured last time, she became nervous. "Yes, that's right. You shouldn't be close to this kind of woman. Maybe you're not meant to be close to each other... "
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Jacob looked at Jonny and explained to his mother, "That was an accident."
"What?" Jonny said lazily, "I don't dare to keep her since she made a scene last time. She has been my agent for five years. I asked her to get out of here as well. "
"That's you." Jacob took a bite of the dish, completely ignoring him.
The words "That's you" pierced into Jonny's heart.
He got angry. "You mean I'm a coward?"
Glancing at him coldly, Jacob said, "I didn't say that."
"That's exactly what you mean!" Jonny bit his lower lip and his face turned red with anger. "You're showing off now. You know I've been with her for five years, but I've never shown off."
"People with poor Chinese skills are really difficult to communicate with."
"You are the one who has poor Chinese skills!" Jonny was angrier, "I'm 27 years old now. I don't want to be humiliated by others with my study results more than ten years ago. You are good at Chinese. What have you done? Have you brought your wife back? "
"Sounds like you have one." Jacob retorted.
Jonny was pissed off.
Who said that he would not quarrel when he was scanty of words?
Didn't he refute him with every word?
Seeing that Jonny was too angry to say a word, Donna hurried to mediate, "How old are you? One of you is 27 years old, and the other is 28. Your faces turn red because of the quarrel. It's so funny. Jonny, you're really ridiculous. Your brother is such a silent man. Aren't you angry with yourself when you quarrel with him? "
Jonny sat down on the chair and said angrily, "He has been better than me since he was a child. You and dad like him more, don't you?" He felt wronged, "He even wants to compete with me for the woman I like!"
If not, why did Jacob pretend to be a hero in front of Sarah?
Now, Sarah was always inquiring about his brother's matter
, which made him angry but unable to spit it out.
Hearing that, Jacob paused.
He looked up at his younger brother with a complicated look in his eyes.
"What?" Donna was stunned. She looked back and forth between the two brothers. "Well, last time, you said that you wanted to..."
Didn't Jonny say that Cherry was a good girl and he wanted to introduce her to his brother?
Although he didn't introduce them to each other later, the two of them seemed to have a good relationship. What? Now, Jonny felt that the one he liked was Cherry?
What a chaotic scene.
How could the three of them speak the same topic with different thoughts?
Nalan yelled, "enough! Enough. Don't say anything more. Tell me, what kind of woman will the two brothers fight for all their lives? " He looked at the two of them and said, "Now, I have to make it clear. If you marry such a woman, she would make you two unhappy sooner or later. In my opinion, no one can have anything to do with her. I don't like this kind of woman! "
Jonny curled his lips.
In the whole family, this kind of words might only be effective for the two good babies, Jacob and Nancy.
He took a big gulp of food, but he still felt unhappy.
Jacob wiped his lips and said, "I'm finished. Enjoy yourselves."
He stood up and left.
Jonny was not to be outdone.
He poured a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "Dad, mom, I have to go now. The crew is waiting for me to start."
He picked up his coat and rushed out of the house without saying anything more.
Donna couldn't help but stand up. Looking at her two sons, one was to the East and the other was to the West, she couldn't help but sigh heavily, "It's really... Alas! "
"It's so humiliating. As if they haven't seen any woman before!" York snorted.
He had planned to teach Richard a lesson, but he didn't expect that the two elder sons would make him be more restless.
The more they grew up, the more upset they became!
Cherry had no idea that she had become the center of discussion for the dinner of the Nalan Clan.
She turned over the bill book page by page, frowning.
At that time, she took over the restaurant, along with the house, personnel, and materials.
But looking at the previous accounts, it made her find a loophole.
After all, she graduated from the Business School of H City University. They thought she was a female boss without the support of a man, and her father was easy-going. They dared to fool her on the account.
Cherry didn't say anything. She just moved all these accounts back home to check.
The manager was nervous when he saw her checking the accounts. "Boss, is there anything wrong?"
"Don't worry." She smiled faintly, "It's just that I haven't checked the accounts for a few years. If I do it now, I can kill time." She raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Can't I?"
"No, no, no." The manager immediately denied, "I'm just afraid that you, a woman, will..."
A woman?
So what?
Cherry curled her lips and said, "In the past, I did all the big accounts of Jonny. I met him at the beginning as a cashier in the company. I'm going to get the license of an accountant. "
She rolled her eyes and said, "If you are afraid that I can't understand it, you can work overtime with me tonight. Let's read it together. Anyway, you are familiar with the accounts."
She looked at the manager who was trembling like a lamb. She smiled and said, "Well, I know some people from different walks of life. If there is a little problem and you can't help, I'll handle it by myself."
The manager's face turned pale, "Uh... Uh... "
"Don't worry." She sat down slowly and looked through the accounts. "Thank you for working overtime tonight."
The manager couldn't help but ask, "Miss... Miss Cherry, you are right. There's something wrong with these accounts... I... "
"You're in charge of it, right?" Cherry raised her eyes and stared at the man with sharp eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
This woman's eyes were so sharp!
"I... I... Well, there was a manager before... "
"Who is he?" Cherry said in a calm tone, "Tell me the name and address of the person. He is greedy for my money, so he has to prepare something." The corners of her mouth twitched. "I'm a woman." she looked down at her smooth nails and said, "I don't have the ability to deal with people. I want the clean government office to do this. It's the most appropriate."
The manager couldn't help but say, "I'm his personal friend. How about I ask him to pay the bill back? Since he has left, he can't do anything to you anymore. In this way, you don't have to hold him accountable, okay? "
Cherry looked at him firmly, "Can you promise that there is no one here who will change my account?"
"No, absolutely not." The manager promised.
Sweat trickled down his forehead, but Cherry smiled lightly, "Forget it." She suddenly said, "I'd better let someone I trust to manage the accounts." She turned around and smiled at him. "I'll give you a definite number tomorrow for how much he should pay back. Ask your friend to be careful. Women care about every penny, not to mention such a big restaurant. "
