Chapter 731 - Getting Rid Of Shyness

Ricky hurriedly smiled. "It's okay, I've just arrived too!" 

After saying that, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand. "Mr. Jean, please sit down!" 

The man shook his hand. "Thank you for the warm welcome, Mr. Ricky, let's sit down and talk." 

Ricky led the two of them to a seat, his gloomy eyebrows looked a little hypocritical from being purposely flattering.

When he sat down, Jean looked at Ricky calmly. "I heard that you've got some matters to discuss with me. Is that true?" 

Hearing this, Ricky stopped from pouring the tea, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. "That's right… I want to discuss something with the fourth young master of the Widjaya family!"

"I want to hear the details!"

Chris sat to the side like an unrelated audience. Leaning back on the chair with an arrogant posture, folding his legs, and taking a slice of melon in the fruit bowl.

Ricky put the teacup in front of them. After sitting down again, he said in surprise, "Alfred is my little brother, he is going to make the next big move!" 

The man's expression remained unchanged, but his faint pupils caught Ricky's intention.

As for Chris, he swallowed the melon, and went on saying, "And what does that have to do with us?"

Ricky smiled falsely, then took a sip of his teacup. "Chris, Mr. Jean, I don't want to be hypocritical, but my brother Alfred has clearly targeted the Widjaya family."

Chris glanced at him, threw the inedible melon portion in his hand back onto the fruit plate and shook his head. "I haven't heard about this!"

Seeing this, Ricky's eyebrows raised slightly, then he looked at Jean and said, "Mr. Jean, let me be honest. I will ask Chris to help me make some terms. My main goal is to help you deal with Alfred. If you are willing to accept my kindness, then I will tell you all the plans."

As he finished saying, there was an uncomfortable silence in the room.

Chris slowly leaned closer to the table. He bent his back and knocked on the table. "Ricky, why didn't you tell me you meant to blackmail my friend today!" 

After that, Ricky's expression became frantic. "I don't mean it!"

He was afraid that Jean would misunderstand, and he explained again, "My brother and I have not gotten along with each other for a long time. Lately, many members of the Ricardo family have come together and attacked me from all directions. This offer is not meant to bring you down, because I know what Alfred thought about your wife. To show my sincerity, I can tell you both that there will be a banquet in the family of Ricardo in Yogyakarta in three days and we will invite the Widjayas to attend!"

When Ricky finished speaking, Chris and Jean vaguely met each other's eyes.

All large families in Surabaya have accepted the invitation to this banquet at around 3 pm this evening! The name of the banquet is The Centennial Banquet of Ricardo Mansion in Yogyakarta.

It is still unknown whether the Ricardo family has a century of history.

But so far, the family is the only one who sincerely invited all extended families to attend their Centennial Banquet.

From the start, the extended family in Surabaya was not close to the Ricardos, and despite this invitation, they clearly did not plan to participate.

However, Ricky had explained with his ulterior motives, and it proved that there was indeed a problem with this upcoming banquet.

After a few seconds, Jean stretched his brows, and his deep voice echoed. "Mr. Ricky, I'm sorry but we all accepted the invitation to the banquet three hours ago."

Ricky looked like he was in a trance. "That fast?"

He just heard this news from his family's housekeeper in the middle of the night last night. But as it turned out, that old lady had invited the rest of the guests in such a short time?!

Ricky's hands suddenly clenched on his lap!

His eyes changed, looking gloomy and cold. "Then, if I tell you that he's planning something for the Widjaya family at the banquet, what do you think? Is it not enough to get us to talk about my request?"

When Ricky finished speaking, Chris narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by planning to do something about the Widjaya family?"

How confident is he to do this?!

Ricky looked at Chris and pressed his lower lip. "I listened to what he and my grandmother had to say, as if he had a bloody dispute with the Widjaya family. As for what he was going to do, I haven't had the chance to hear it. But Alfred will definitely do something. He'll make sure that everyone in the Widjaya family is invited. Mr. Jean, not only you, the Patriarch of your family is also on the main guests' list. "

Ricky revealed everything he knew. 

He could no longer rely on his own strength to compete with Alfred, so he could only save himself by finding other means.

And Jean Widjaya from the Widjaya family is the best shield!

At this time, Chris and Jean looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Ricky captured this scene and couldn't help feeling frustrated.

He was worried that his sincerity wasn't clear enough, so he looked at Jean and added, "Mr. Jean, I can guarantee my words with my life, and I wouldn't dare lie to you. If you don't believe it, you can investigate. I believe that with the strength of your family, it's very easy to find some clues."

"I believe it." Jean finally said this.

Ricky smiled happily. "Mr Jean, then I ..."

He stopped talking, his eyes staring hotly at Jean.

At this time, Chris saw an opportunity to chime in.

He raised his hand and stroked his thick eyebrows, then said casually, "Ricky has revealed such an important detail to us. Now I want to know what kind of plan you want to carry out,"

Ricky's eyes shone brightly, but he pretended to wave his hand generously. "Your words could crush me, you know. I never thought of doing something horrible, but if possible, I hope that Mr. Jean will deal with Alfred as soon as possible. I am relying on you."

Jean looked at him with sharp eyes. "Mr. Ricky, you need to know that I want to buy Galaxy Real Estate."

Ricky couldn't hide his amazement, he forgot to react for a moment.

Seeing this, Chris shook his head and laughed. Looking at Jean, he was joking, "It's more realistic for you to see the problem!" 

After Ricky snapped out of his reverie, he smiled, but didn't argue.

At 7:30 p.m., the group of three got up and left the restaurant.

When they were about to part, Ricky tightened the hem of his coat. "Mr Jean, Chris, thank you for coming tonight, I will keep you updated on the final situation of the banquet."

Jean nodded silently, while Chris smiled faintly. "Sorry to trouble you!"

Ricky said that it was not a bother, and then he stood there watching two people walk towards the parking lot. The hypocritical smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.

Today, he completely forgot his face and lowered himself to the point of licking Jean's boots, so he hoped the result would be worth the effort!

'Alfred, I want to see what you are going to do!'

... 

The man walked into the parking lot, and Clifford was waiting by the car.

Before getting into the car, Chris took out a cigarette box and stopped him. "Jean, do you think this Ricky guy can be trusted?"

Jean stood still and took his cigarette, then he answered in a deep voice, "The truth is mixed, but his determination to deal with Alfred is very clear."

After all, he was much older than them. If it weren't for Alfred, he wouldn't have done this.

Chris bit into his cigarette and sneered. "That's right. He's left with nothing now.. He's standing in a ditch covered in blood. No wonder he wants our help!"
