Ella's look suddenly changed, and she said, "OK, I understand. Thank you, Miss Zhang."
After she hung up the phone, Ella looked at Samuel.
"What time was it?" he asked. But he had already guessed it quite correct in his mind.
"... About eight o'clock, " said Ella uneasily.
'My daughter's all grown up and now she's holding secrets from us, ' thought Ella.
"Who's the man? Is it Brian, or Daniel?" shouted Samuel. His face had completely darkened up.
... But Ella knew nothing, and helplessly looked at her husband.
"We, as parents, are sometimes too careless. Our daughter has... And we had no idea of it, " Ella said. She then sighed.
Samuel all of a sudden stood up from his chair, and clenching his fists tight he hammered them on the table, and said, "I have to talk with these two guys and find out who's the boldest! Which one of them dared touch my daughter, without even ensuring her a legal status yet!"
Ella intended to support Samuel's idea at first, but after a second thought she thought it might be improper to do that.
"Wait! We'd better go and ask Jane first! What if it's Brian, but you ask Daniel. And what if it's Daniel, and you ask Brian... This'll be so shameful for both of us and Janet!" Ella stopped for a moment and persuaded Samuel to calm down and think about it.
Samuel thought that his wife was right, and asked, "Do you really think that your daughter will be honest with you?" 'Right. If Janet really wanted to tell us, she would have already done it, ' thought Ella.
She felt helpless. 'Jane is so stubborn and shy that she definitely won't tell me about this sort of thing!'
"What about... we..." Ella then whispered some words into Samuel's ears; Samuel nodded his head in approval.
"OK, I'll send her a message later, " said Samuel.
Janet was going shopping in the mall when she received a Wechat message from her father. It read, "Jane, we're going back to the old house and staying there for some days. Please take care of yourself, and come and see us at the old house whenever you're free."
'What? Didn't they say that they just went back there to pick up John? Why are they staying there now?' Janet wondered.
"OK, I got it, dad." Janet quickly sent back her text and then continued shopping for clothes.
When she walked up to the men's clothes, a carefully crafted crocodile belt caught her eye.
"Hello! Welcome!" Soon enough, a saleswoman came up and welcomed her.
When she saw her wearing the expensive pink overcoat, the saleswoman knew in an instant that she must be a very wealthy customer.
She then anxiously presented the expensive belt to Janet
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
d, and... Um... your... panting... is quite good, and these are your rewards." Spark lowered down his head as he embarrassingly spoke out the words, He even tried to avoid some of the more sensitive words.
He then thought helplessly, 'Oh, boss. When did you begin to become such a shameless man?'
Janet then felt a sudden rage rushing out of her brain.
She shouted at Spark and stopped him, who was now trying to escape. "Stop! Help me deliver something to Daniel!"
'Fine! Just wait and see how I'm going to humiliate you!' Janet thought.
Twenty minutes later
With a package in his hands, and bearing a bitter face, Spark knocked at the CEO's office door.
"Come in."
Daniel looked at Spark, and said, "The result?" He kept working on his papers with his pen.
Then, Spark spoke with a stutter. "Mr. Si, the clothes and handbags... Miss Shao said... that she would not leave any of them undressed, and that she would dress them all."
"Well. Good job then! Then you can go out now, " said Daniel.
But Spark continued to stand in the office without even moving a little bit. Daniel raised his head, and while he frowned, he said, "Anything else?"
Then, Spark put the package on his desk and said, "Mr. Si, please take a look first!"
When Daniel opened the package and then the delicate box, he found that there was an exquisite belt inside.
He was suddenly surprised and happy, but he tried to pretend to be calm, and with a look of expectation, he stared back at Spark, whose face was now beyond normal.
"Mr... Mr... Mr..." Spark stammered. He could hardly utter any words.
"Spark, do you want to go and work in the logistics department?" warned Daniel. The man then slightly frowned while he played with the belt's buckle.
