“Haha, Mr. and Mrs. Lane came all the way to Harbor City. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling.”
Jasper said with a smile, “Old Master, you are already so old, but you are still running around the world like this. I thought you were going to retire in the United States this time, but I didn’t expect you to come back so soon. This is also a special party, so how could I miss such an occasion?”
Wendy on the side also continued, “Yes, this time we also brought a small gift for you, Mr. Langdon. We hope you’ll like it.”
She said before looking back at the assistant behind her. The assistant immediately understood and opened an exquisite box in his hand in front of Half the Harbor Langdon.
Inside was a five-hundred-year-old ginseng with all the roots and hairs intact. At first glance, it was an excellent top-grade ginseng, so it immediately attracted the attention of many people present.
“Mr. Langdon, this ginseng has the effect of prolonging one’s life, so I will give it to you. I hope you can take care of yourself. After all, the business world of Somerland cannot continue without a shining star like you.”
Jasper said this with a smile. However, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. On the other hand, his statement sounded no different from a curse to Half the Harbor Langdon.
Kayden on the side replied, “Hmph, don’t worry. My father is in good health, so you don’t have to worry. However, since you’re here, you’re still a guest of my family. Please come in.”
A lot of guests were visiting the Langdon Manor today, so Half the Harbor Langdon did not focus all his attention on Jasper and Wendy.
After exchanging a few words of greetings, he went to entertain other guests.
At this time, Zachary brought Henry and Anna over.
“Wendy, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon. I heard that JW Group is planning to develop in the information industry recently. Coincidentally, our family also wants to develop in this area, so why don’t we talk about amongst just the two of us?”
Upon hearing this, Wendy glanced at Jasper and nodded with a smile. “Then let’s go over there to talk…”
The two women said and walked away arm in arm, leaving Jasper, Zachary, and Henry on the spot.
After the two sides greeted each other, Zachary said with a smile, “Jasper, it seems that what you expected was right. Half- the-Harbor Langdon couldn’t hold back and finally return to Somerland.”
Henry on the side said disapprovingly, “Hmph, so what if he’s back now?
“Now the J. Langdon’s real estate market cap in the mainland has shrunk by nearly 70%. Even in Harbor City, his status is not as good as before. If I were him, I would just die abroad.”
However, as soon as he said that, he was reprimanded by Zachary. “What’s going on with you? It’s fine to say this at home, but when you’re outside, you still have to be tolerant and graceful.”
