You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 128

Henry whispered, "It's so strange. How does he know that bags can cure all kinds of diseases for women?"

"How did Mr. Shi learn that?" Even Helen, who had taken care of John for more than ten years, was also puzzled.

John had really departed from his normal behavior. Maybe it was not strange after all. Since Nina came into his life, John had started changing little by little.

Henry and Helen exchanged a meaningful glance as if they both understood why John was acting the way.

"What? Bags can cure all diseases for women? This is the first time I've heard that." Even Nina had not heard of it before. She did not feel special feelings when she saw the bags. Back in C Island, she had many bags which were similar or even better than the ones in front of her.

"Yes." John nodded. That was what Dora said this morning.

Considering that John wanted to please her, Nina decided to forgive him for what he had done last night.

"Then leave all of them here. I want all of them." With a wave of her hand, Nina turned around and walked away. She did not really care. Maybe she would use the bags or give them away as gifts. She would figure it out later.

"All right." John nodded in agreement and signaled to Lisa to leave the bags.

Lisa bowed slightly. Then, she asked all the models to leave the bags in a neat pile.

After that, they left.

It was already six o'clock in the evening.

The majestic European-style villa of the Ye family was located in Lexingport City's luxurious district, covering quite a large area.

It had a big courtyard with beautiful fountains and surrounded by neatly trimmed shrubs. A wide staircase path led to the front door.

Today was Vivian's birthday. She threw a birthday party every year, but this year's celebration was particularly grand. It was even bound to surpass the splendor of her eighteenth birthday party.

Vivian sat in front of her mirror with her hairdresser behind her. Her hairdresser had been working tirelessly to make her look magnificent tonight. She loosely braided her curly chestnut hair and then made it into an up-do with little flowers on it. She looked even more elegant than she already did.

"How is Vivian?" A woman's voice came from outside the room.

The voice belonged to Julie Liu, Vivian's mother. She had short and curly hair and was wearing a cheongsam. She also had eyes that seemed to always be smiling, making her look charming.

Vivian's father liked such women.

All the celebrities in the city knew that Howard Ye, the head of the Ye family, loved operas. They guessed that Julie Liu had become his wife just because of her well-toned body and opera singing.

"Mom, why are you here? Who's entertaining the guests downstairs?" Vivian took a look at Julie Liu through the dressing mirror. With a nod, she dismissed her hairdresser, telling her to give her and her mother some privacy.

She says you don't need to worry about anything? That's a lie. The truth is that she's only keeping you close so that you won't fight Noah for the Ye family's assets. She's a scheming cunt. No wonder she's still single at twenty-nine."

"Calm down, Mom. Don't say that." Vivian reached for her mother's hand once again, held it, and squeezed it. She looked Julie Liu straight in the eye as if telling her to listen to her carefully.

Julie Liu took a deep breath, sighed, and said, "If you want a good life, you have to fight for it no matter the cost. Don't forget that there are still some people who don't acknowledge you as the family's heir." 'Especially Kristina,' she thought to herself.

Vivian's mother used to be a mistress. She had been living with her mother in a small villa brought by Howard Ye since she was born. When she was four, he had lost his wife and taken the mother and daughter back to the Ye family house.

Right after she had been taken back to the Ye family, she had attended John's tenth birthday party with Howard Ye. At that time, Howard Ye told her that John was Sam's youngest son and the heir to the Time Group.

The Ye family was magnificent, but when she went to the Shi family, Vivian realized that the Shi family was much more noble.

Since the day she laid eyes on John, she had decided that she would marry him one day. On that birthday party that Vivian and Howard Ye attended, a gangster had tried to seize John, but he was able to evade his attacker and cut his throat with a knife. Since that incident, John's name had become well known all over the city, and no one dared to provoke him.

Even though Vivian had seen his fierceness, she was still decided to get close to him. She even handed him a piece of tissue at that time with her hands trembling in front of everyone.

Her courage had really earned her a different kind of honor. Since then, she had been known as the only woman who could get close to John.

Thinking of this, Vivian reminded her mother, "Mom, have the swimming pools and fountains been covered? John can't get close to any fountains or pools."
