"Chairman, please have some tea."
Michelle was suddenly at a loss for what to do with a person with such a huge background. She rummaged through all the boxes at home, but found a box of expensive tea from the nutritionists that Zoy brought.
She felt lucky that she hadn't thrown it away. Otherwise, she would make a fool of herself now.
With that, she put the tea on the table in front of Jared. And he looked around the living room as if he were reviewing something. Michelle looked at him and suddenly felt very stressed.
She didn't know what the purpose of Jared coming here was, but she didn't feel strange how he found her. As long as he was rich now, he was not afraid of getting into trouble?
Jared didn't drink the tea, but said coldly, "with your salary every month, you can't afford to buy such expensive tea. Who sent it to you?"
After a pause, Michelle took a look at the tea cup on the table. It was true that the tea smelled really good. But compared with her cup, it looked weird.
"It was from my friend," Michelle replied in a low voice.
"Friend? It seems that you know a lot of rich friends. " A disdainful look flashed through Jared's eyes. He had seen a lot of such kind of girls before.
How couldn't Michelle understand the underlying meaning of his words? She wanted to explain something, but she felt that it was just in vain.
Seeing that she did not speak, Jared thought it was a tacit consent, so he looked down upon the girl more.
"Girls these days always like to escape from reality. They never want to fight for themselves, but to rely on others to climb up."
"Chair..." Michelle knew that he misunderstood her. She wanted to explain, but she saw Jared raise his hand to hint her not to say anything.
"Look at those girls. Do they look like the teacup? No matter how good the tea cup is, it's just worthless. It's not as good as the tea in it. " Then he picked up the tea and took a few sips.
The sweet scent of the tea pervaded in his nose, making him unable to return to his senses.
"Chairman, I understand what you mean. But please know that I'm principle. I won't bother others because of something. " She sounded so firm that it seemed that she had to make everything clear to him. She didn't want to be misunderstood, which would hurt her self-esteem.
At this moment, there were many people standing outside. Apparently, they had heard the conversation.
But everyone's eyes were lit up, especially Aunt Lucy, because she had seen countless luxury cars specially coming for Michelle. In fact, she was the happiest to have gone through such a terrible thing.
'Don't think that everyone is as lucky as my daughter.' She despised Michelle in her heart.
Coming back from the street, Olivia was carrying two big bags of things. When she went downstairs with Scott, they found the blocked corridor.
"What happened?" She came up and asked neighbors.
There was a very serious expression on Scott's face, because he knew that troublesome old man came out again. He knew that nothing good would happen today since he found his car outside the community.
"Olivia, something happened to your family!"
"What?" Upon hearing the news, Olivia rushed upstairs.
When she reached the door, she found that the door was open. Then she saw the men in black standing outside. Her heart suddenly jumped in her throat.
"Michelle!" Olivia rushed, she didn't want her daughter to be wronged. She would like to see who had such a high-profile.
"Mom."
Hearing the voice of her mother, Michelle immediately stood up and looked in the direction of her mother. At this moment, she really wanted to jump into her mother's arms and cry out.
Olivia sensed the grievance in her daughter's eyes. She glanced at the man sitting on the sofa, and then walked over.
"Sir, I don't know why you came to our house, but please go out now. We don't welcome you." She stood in front of him and looked down at him, asking him to leave.
This man had bullied her daughter. As a mother, how could she let him go so easily? Even if it was her daughter's fault, she would definitely stand on her daughter's side.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" The voice of Scott came from behind and he closed the door as he did not want others to hear what they were talking about.
He asked calmly, but the expression on his face was not good.
Jared didn't answer the question, but stood up slowly. He looked down at the woman in front of him, and his expression changed subtly. After a long while, he shouted, "Olivia?"
Olivia's body was slightly stunned. She looked at the man in front of her with her eyes wide open. "Jared?"
"We haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years, right?" Jared recollected.
"Yes. I don't expect to see a scene like this when we meet again. But I am happy for you to have such an excellent son. " This was what Olivia really hoped. She hoped that Scott could be her son-in-law.
Jared knew that Olivia never thought highly of money, or else she would not have chosen Edward.
Back then, Edward was just a small business man without anything. They either bought or sold their pastries at the roadside. Jared knew Olivia earlier than Edward. Jared was nice to her, but she treated him as her brother.
She said: "you have always been my brother. You are very kind to me. And I respect you."
At that time, he realized that he had no chance. But he was also a prince in the girls' eyes at that time. He had a crush on her at the first sight of her. However, he didn't speak it out because of his reputation.
However, she left with a poor young man in the end.
"Edward..."
When they were chatting, Jared found that Olivia had never been mentioned Edward in front of him. Edward was his rival in love.
But after so many years, his feelings for Olivia also gradually turned into longing. Now he only cared about the mother of Scott. And for Olivia, she may be treated as a family member who has not been seen for a long time.
"He has already died. He had mined in the past in order to earn more money. He was buried alive after the accident in the coal mine. " Olivia said with understatement. It had been so many years, the past was already in the past.
Sometimes, it was useless to be sad, because it was yourself who would be sad.
Hearing this news, Jared really regretted that he didn't stand out to wait for her at that time.
At that time, how did she need a lot of help?
"Why didn't you come to me?" After hesitating for a while, Jared said with his head bowed.
"At that time, I lived in sorrow every day and was not in the mood to think about anything else. Although he's gone, our country bought me a new house. I know how much God loves me. " Speaking of this, Olivia smiled with relief. But her smile was, in Jared's opinion, reluctantly.
He couldn't help but look into the kitchen. When he saw the busy figure in the kitchen, the image of Olivia appeared in his mind again.
