The smile on Mandy's face froze for a moment and then slowly opened, "I like uncle type of man, can't I?" She tried her best to be natural and calm, with the corners of her mouth becoming wider and wider, and the smile becoming more fake and exaggerated.
"But he has a wife and children, and he is old enough to be your father." Eva pouted. She always felt that Mandy was insulting herself.
"It's not a matter of gender to be in love nowadays. Do you still care about age? Didn't the thirty year old Weng fan married the eighty year old Chen Ning Yang?" Mandy glared at her, with a bit of displeasure in her expression. Eva was exposing her scar.
Essie hurried out to ease the atmosphere, "Well, Eva, this is Mandy's personal problem, we don't have to worry about it." She didn't want everyone to leave in discord.
Eva picked up the lemon tea on the table and drank it in silence.
The living room became unusually quiet.
After a while, Mandy's voice came through the ice, "Essie, how are you doing in the Xu family?"
"Not bad. Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart, I have a lot to learn." Essie smiled lightly.
"The Xu family is unpredictable now. You'd better leave early and don't get involved in it," Mandy said in a casual tone, as if she was just caring about her.
"It's Xu family's business to compete for shares, property and power. It has nothing to do with me. I'm at most a senior white-collar worker who works. As long as I do my job well, it's enough," Essie said lightly.
"It's weird for you to go to work in the Xu family because you are the young hostess of Rong family and the boss of SUMMER 100 ℃." Mandy smiled with a hint of sarcasm in her face.
"She is helping her friend. The third daughter of Xu family is a friend she knew in the United States. She haven't been back for decades and was not familiar with the place. Can a girl as loyal and faithful as Essie stand by and watch?" Eva cut in.
"I see," Mandy muttered in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself. After taking a sip of juice, she proposed to go shopping. Eva put on her hat, sunglasses and mask and didn't dare to go out until she was fully armed. Public figures also have their own troubles.
When she came to the new century mall and saw the exclusive store of Summer 100 Degree, Essie walked in.
"Now your Summer 100 Degree has exclusive stores all over the country," Eva said with a smile.
"With our Eva as the spokesperson, can we not be popular?" Essie winked mischievously.
"Miss Xu has been back for so many days. Should she know the business of the group by now? Isn't it too selfish to keep you by her side to deal with these messy things?" Mandy said, as if she really wanted Essie to leave Hengyuan Co., Ltd.
"That's not right. If you choose to help others, then help them to the end and if you choose to escort the Buddha, then send the Buddha to the termination of the West," Eva said.
"I'm afraid she wants Essie to be her shield." Mandy frowned and said, "It's inevitable that Essie will be hated and treated as an eyesore by others of the Xu family if she helps her. What if she is in danger?"
"That's a problem." Eva touched his chin. According to her understanding of Vinton, although he was stubborn, he was kind-hearted in nature and would not harm Essie. However, his mother and sister were obviously villains and must be careful. "Essie, if there is danger, you'd better leave early. It's important to help friends, but you can't put yourself in it. Vinton's mother and elder sister have a grudge against you because of Zac. Now that you are involved in their fight for property, it's hard to guarantee that they won't do anything to you."
"Yes, yes, yes, Eva is right." Mandy nodded her head like a rattle drum, "Essie, Summer 100 Degree is still waiting for your management. Leave the Xu's group and go back to Summer 100 Degree."
"Don't worry." Essie smiled faintly, "When Chairman Xu wakes up, I will naturally leave the Xu family."
"How is president Xu now?" Mandy asked.
"I don't know. President Xu has been taking care by Cathy all the time. After all, I'm an outsider and it's not convenient to ask." Essie shook her head. After Zac's reminder, she was also a little vigilant. She believed in her friendship with Mandy, and she would not harm her, but she did not believe in Bles. If he forced or cajoled Mandy, it was difficult to guarantee that Mandy would not be used by him.
Mandy's face flashed an indescribable dark color. "I hope President Xu is safe," she said hypocritically.
"In the future, if you really marry Bles, he will be your brother," Eva joked.
Mandy glared at her angrily, pretending to look at her clothes and ignore her.
Essie's dark apricot eyes flashed, "Mandy, your Bles is at least the brother of chairman Xu, and also a major shareholder of the Xu family. Should he come out to preside over the overall situation after such a big thing happened to the Xu family?" she deliberately spoke in a casual tone, as if she was just talking about an insignificant competition. She wanted to see how much Mandy knew about Bles.
"He has always been a lazy man. He just wants to be at ease. If he is in charge, he will definitely have a headache," Mandy said.
Essie heaved a long sigh, "I heard that Bles was also high spirited and keen to fight in the past. Now he is old enough to only love to spend time with beautiful women. It seems that man can only subdue to the old age."
"Really?" Mandy raised her eyebrows and said, "I thought he had always been like this."
