While Jean and Calvin were in silence, they heard some footsteps coming from the front of the place, which was followed by a voice of surprise, "Jean, why are you here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jean was startled, and at once terrifyingly she looked ahead, towards the person coming from the front.
With some bags of food in his hand, Winner frowned, and said while staring at her agonizingly, " You are here because you knew that dad is going to be on a death bed, and you want to compete for the Wen family's inheritance? But you must remember that I am the only inheritor of the Wen family, and none of you are qualified to compete with me for the family's property!"
"Winner, what nonsense are you talking about?" When Jean saw that Winner was talking nonsense regardless of the occasion, without understanding the severity, instantly she stopped him. "He... where is Henry now? Take me there quickly."
"Why do you want to go there?" Winner impatiently asked her, while staring at her with suspicious eyes.
"Ha! Why I want to go there?" Immediately Jean laughed but coldly she said, "Even though he never treated me as a daughter, I want to go and see him for the last time. And don't worry, I won't compete with you for the belongings of the Wen family."
"Really?" Winner fixedly stared at her and asked her with doubt.
On seeing Winner's reaction, suddenly her heart was filled with anger. If Calvin had not been here, she would have tapped Winner's head. How could he be so suspicious of her? How could be care only about the belongings of the Wen family at the moment?
"If I am saying no, then I won't. Believe it or not!" Jean said impatiently, as she was getting fed up with Winner's ridiculous query.
When Winner realized that Jean didn't seem to be lying, he was relieved. He walked up to Jean with a big smile on his face and said, "Sister Jean, since you are here to see our dad, do you have any money with you?"
Yesterday, when dad had a sudden onset, then as soon as possible he had to have an operation, so he was sent to the intensive care unit immediately. All the money we had at our home was brought here. So now, none of us have any money ..."
Winner said pitifully, and he was almost on the verge of crying, eyes filling with tears.
Jean noticed that Calvin was looking at them with great interest and he had heard everything that they had discussed recently, with that Jean's face grew hot red instantly in embarrassment. She reached out to Winner who was acting disgracefully in front of a stranger and tugged his clothes towards her, To remind him that there was an outsider present there. Winner had better be careful and don't be a subject matter of ridicule.
Winner blinked and saw Calvin looking at them gently with a faint wily smile.
"Sister Jean, he's..."
Winner's eyes were suddenly sparkling like a diamond and he looked at Calvin in order to check him out all over. As a result, his face was full of excitement.
'This man looks extraordinary and handsome. Plus the clothes he is wearing are brand-name clothes and they must worth at least one million. He must be from the wealthy family. And there is no comparison between the people that I know and him. He seems to belong to a well-to-do family.' Winner was even more excited simply at that thought.
'How on earth does Jean know such a rich man?
If she was to rely on her good fortune to be married to Zed once, then certainly this time it's not just luck that she know such kind of wealthy man.
Does that mean that I should follow Jean to get some benefit from this man?
This man standing in front of me, having such a forbearing and good looking appearance, seems to be better-tempered and easier to get along with than Zed.'
After these thoughts, Calvin instantaneously turned into a pile of money in front of Winner's eyes. With light in his greedy eyes, Winner eagerly reached out and greeted Calvin with a big smile.
"Hello, I'm Winner Wen. May I have your name..."
But as soon as Winner's hand reached out towards Calvin with the hope of making relations with him, Jean pushed it down with force and said to him in an aggrieved manner, "Lead the way and talk less."
Instantly Winner glanced at her with dissatisfaction and dismay. But when he remembered that the wealthy gentleman next to him was still watching, the only option he had, was to control his emotions.
"I'm sorry, Calvin." Jean walked up to Calvin and said with humiliation while her face was pitiful.
"Oh, it's nothing. I think it's interesting instead." Seeing that Jean was blushing and was turning all pink when she heard his words, Calvin looked at her with a big smile and explained, "I mean your brother is quite interesting."
On hearing Calvin's explanation, Jean felt even more embarrassed, hoping that the ground would crack open and would swallow her in. And all these expressions were clearly visible on her pretty face. Her rosy cheeks were so attractive in Calvin's eyes that he was slightly distracted at that sight.
Jean knew Winner never hid his greedy nature in front of outsiders. But he never knew that although others seemed to be smiling at him, they might be laughing at him in their hearts.
'It's really a disgrace!' Jean groaned in mind.
