"Absolutely not. I went back to get my iPad yesterday. At the gate of the community, I saw my mother and a man get on a Maybach landaulet. It was a car worth tens of millions. That man must be very rich." He swallowed and said, "After mom came back, I stole her phone and found that she had the same number every day. I also overheard that they were going to attend a concert at the Harbor Grand Theatre tonight."
"What does that man look like?"
"He is tall, big and handsome. He looks extraordinary. He must not be an ordinary person."
Eva searched all the possible people in her memory, but didn't find any suitable clues.
When did her mother know such a person?
She hadn't been to Dragon City for a long time. Did she know each other in the dessert shop?
Nowadays, there were many liars, and there were more liars in love. Her mother was simple and kind, and she couldn't be deceived.
At dusk, the Maybach landaulet described by Jade appeared in front of them, followed by a Hummer in both front and back. After a while, Percy came out and got on the car. Eva took her brother to her Cadillac and followed him.
The Maybach and Hummer stopped at the gate of the most luxurious Scenery Sea Food Restaurant in Dragon City. Four tall and strong young men in black jacket got out of the car first. It seemed that they were bodyguards. Seeing that they looked at the Cadillac, the sister and brother quickly lowered their heads.
The door of the Maybach was opened. Percy walked out with a tall middle-aged man and entered the restaurant side by side.
After half a minute, the sister and brother got out of the car. Before they could get close to the door of the restaurant, they were stopped by two young men coming out.
The bodyguards were not weak. They began to pay attention to them on the way.
"My boss wants to see you two!"
"Okay, we also want to see him." Eva shrugged her shoulders calmly and winked at his brother. The two walked up with the bodyguards.
There was no guest in the restaurant. Obviously, the big shot booked the whole night.
Jade rolled up his sleeves as he walked, ready for a fierce battle to protect his mother at any time.
Eva was very calm. After all, she was a black belt of judo, and she could deal with several bodyguards.
In the deluxe private room, Jonson had ordered all the dishes that were Percy's favorite. Although more than 20 years had passed, he still remembered her taste and habits clearly.
He had asked someone to inquire about her condition. He just wanted to know how she was doing. He didn't expect that she had suffered so much, which made him feel sorry for her.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. The bodyguard came in and gave him a look. He nodded slightly, and after he left, he turned to Percy. "Percy, sit down for a while. I'm going to the bathroom."
He stood up and walked out. Following the bodyguards to the private room at the end of the corridor, he pushed the door open and saw the sister and brother sitting on the sofa waiting for him.
He was slightly shocked, and his sharp eyes softened.
"It's you!" He strode over with a gentle smile on his face. He looked at his sister and then at his brother and said with a smile, "You are Eva and you are Jade, right?"
"My sister is a big star. Did you see her on TV?" Jade stared at him angrily, as if he was a bad guy who wanted to steal his mother.
"Your mother often mentions you," Jonson replied with a smile.
"You and my mother are..." Eva asked haltingly.
The smile on Jonson's face deepened. "Your mother and I are old friends. We have separated for many years. I didn't expect to see each other again."
When they were talking, Eva was silent and looked at him carefully. She knew all her mother's friends in Jiang City. This person was very strange and she had never seen him before.
"Uncle, when did you know my mother?" She was a little curious.
"We knew each other before you were born. At that time, your mother was still in Dragon City." Jonson smiled kindly.
"You know each other in Dragon City?" Eva was shocked. Her mother had never mentioned anything about her in Dragon City. If it was not her birthday last time. She didn't know that she had lived in Dragon City.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later." Jonson smiled, "Now, I'll take you to see her and have dinner with her."
In the private room, when Percy saw the two children, she was really shocked. She rubbed her hands and felt a little shy, embarrassed and at a loss.
The air was frozen for a moment, and then it was broken by the voice of Eva.
"I happened to have a day off today, so I brought Jade here for dinner. I didn't expect to be seen by uncle, so he took us here." She smiled, "Mom, you and uncle are good friends. You should have told us earlier."
"That's right. It could save sister and I to worry about you," Jade whispered to himself. When Eva hit him with her elbow, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
