Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 67

When Jean couldn't run anymore, she stopped and found a place to rest. She withdrew her phone from her bag to see who had been calling her. It was Shirley.

Shirley Wen! Jean was upset when she thought about her half-sister. If it hadn't been for the Weibo post Shirley had made, Jean would not have been humiliated the way she had been.

Jean had severed relations with the Wen family, so why was Shirley calling her?

She had planned not to answer Shirley's call. But then Jean thought she was being unfair to herself if she didn't confront Shirley about the grievances she had suffered.

"Sister, you have finally answered!" Shirley said affectionately. Even so, Jean could sense her half-sister's impatience.

"Shirley, what do you want from me?" asked Jean.

"Sister, our family hasn't had dinner together in a long time. Father said that he wanted to invite you to dinner and has already picked the restaurant. You..." said Shirley.

"Have you forgotten that I am no longer part of the Wen family?" said Jean.

"Sister, father said that he really wanted you to have dinner with us. Regardless of what happened in the past, he wants us to have a meal as a whole family. Think of it as one last dinner, " said Shirley. Shirley stopped to see if Jean would reply. When she heard nothing, Shirley continued, "I will send you the location of the restaurant by text. Sister, you must come!"

After ending the call, Jean watched the passers-by. She sighed as she thought over the dinner invitation. If for no other reason, Jean felt like she needed to go in order to get proper closure.

Her phone pinged and when Jean looked, she saw a message from Shirley. "Seven o'clock. Boris Hotel. Room 1021."

With nothing else to do, and no where else to be, Jean went home to rest and clean up. She left home at half past six. Since Jean didn't live far from the hotel, she decided it would not be too expensive to go by taxi.

This would be Jean's second visit to this hotel. Previously, she had attended a social occasion hosted by the Wen Group at this hotel. That day, she had drunk a lot and hadn't paid attention to much. She remembered that Henry had sat beside her, but he had spent the evening talking lively with the guests.

Jean sighed at the irony of her situation. She had never felt warmth or love from the Wen family. Everything she had planned till now, had been done to earn her freedom from them. Yes, she had finally broken all ties with the Wen family, but she had also become a person without a family.

The waiter led Jean to the door of room 1021. After he left, Jean took a deep breath and pushed the door.

The room was big. The entire Wen family was present. Jean glanced at Winner, Shirley, Joy, and her father. She was still curious about why they had invited her when she had severed all relationships with them.

The atmosphere was serious when she entered. They seemed to be talking about something important. When they realized that Jean had arrived, everyone stopped talking. Henry had looked sad before he spotted her, but now, his expression changed. Jean felt odd to see Henry smiling at her.

He seemed to be genial right now.

"Jean, you came! Please have a seat." Henry stood and pointed at the empty chair next to his.

The others at the table showed indifference, especially Winner. Although he had seen Jean, he simply rolled his eyes and continued to play on his phone.

"What's the matter?" Jean asked coldly. She glanced at Henry expressionlessly.

"Jean, you must be tired." Joy lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea. She quickly passed the menu to Jean and said, "You order today. You can have whatever you want."

Jean had never known Joy to be this malleable unless she had an ulterior motive.
