Chapter 174 I Was Sent
The table was bustling with noise on this side. Everyone was picking up food for Angela, while the other side was cold and quiet.
In the middle of Noble and Eric sat Sherry, and on the other side of Noble sat two silent men, his father, Malcom Lian, and the father of Sherry Ran, Geoffrey Ran.
"Why do I feel that my position in the family is threatened?" Looking at the lively scene over there, she had no desire to eat at all. She poked the bowl with chopsticks from time to time.
"Are you jealous?" Noble turning to look at her.
"A little." She admitted frankly.
"You..." Noble shook his head helplessly, picked up a piece of food and put it in her bowl. "Eat it quickly. Only when you are full can you have the strength to compete with aunt for your position in the family."
"Yes, you are right." As if it was true, Sherry nodded. As soon as she picked up the food in her bowl and put it to her mouth, she seemed to think of something. She turned to look at Eric on the other side, blinked her eyes and said, "Boss, are you angry that I compete with aunt for favor?"
Hearing that, a smile played at the corners of Eric's mouth. He turned his head to look at her and asked, "What do you think?"
"Hmm..." After thinking for a while, she said, "Forget it. I'd better give up. Otherwise, you will be unhappy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she leaned forward and looked at the man next to Noble. "Brother Geoffrey, from now on, you should give more love to me than to my mother at home. I'm out of favor with my grandfather. If you don't love me a little more, I will have nothing to love."
The man called brother Geoffrey looked up at her and said, "Your mother is my most precious treasure. Who the hell are you?"
With her eyes wide open, Sherry said, "I'm sent when you bought fish, but it's not delicious without me!"
"Be quiet." Hearing the voice, Carry knew who was calling without thinking. She glanced at them and shouted at them.
Glancing at his wife, a light flashed through his eyes behind the glasses. Then Geoffrey replied obediently, "Okay, honey."
Seeing that her father was such a slave to his wife, she looked at him with disdain. In their family, Carry was the king, and no one dared to object to what she said. As her father, he was smarter than anyone else, but he always showed that he was stupid. And he was very handsome, but he wore a pair of rustic glasses. Because he didn't want to get close to other women.
Well, she agreed with this point. If her father dressed well and went out, he would really attract women.
Lying on her stomach, Sherry lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl weakly.
Seeing this, Eric picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl. He gave her a meaningful look and said, "So you are the scallion sent by others when they bought fish."
He seldom made jokes, but at this moment, he began to make jokes. He knew a little about her family, and at the same time, he was a little envious of her. Her father was a computer genius, once a leading figure in the hacker industry. However, after meeting his aunt, he quietly quit the hacker industry, and then became an ordinary programmers in the Sun Company. The hobby of computer was inherited from him.
Sherry raised her head and rolled her eyes at him. "Boss, could you please not rub salt into my wound? If my mother could give birth to me a few years earlier, I would be older than you."
After saying that, she snorted. After all, it was her father's fault. He said that he wanted to enjoy the world of two people. A few years after their marriage, he didn't let her mother to have a baby. What happened? She obviously can rank second among the peers, but now only ranked third!
"You don't have a chance. But brother and I will spoil you more in the future." Like stroking a pet, Eric touched her head.
Obviously, Sherry didn't take his words seriously. She glanced at him sideways and said, "That was when Lily wasn't by your side. If she were here, you would have forgotten me completely."
Hearing Lily's name, Eric was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. It was New Year's Eve today. He wondered if Lily missed him.
Seeing Eric's expression, Sherry rolled her eyes at him again. He had said that he would love her more. Looking at him now, he was absent-minded just by mentioning the name of Lily!
Men were all lustful! His father, who had hidden his strength, was like this, so was the boss in front of her. Bigger brother was great.
'Ah. No, Noble was not much better!
As soon as she thought of Noble, she subconsciously turned her eyes to him. For the time being, he was really good to her and spoiled her very much. But a few years ago, when she saw him fell in love, he was even more worse than her father. He had spoiled that woman so much. It was only because God was so cruel that they were separated from each other.
Thinking of this, Sherry looked at him with sympathy. Alas, her brother was so pitiful.
Aware of her eyes, Noble turned his head to look at her. His black eyes were full of confusion. "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Brother..." Looking at him pitifully, Sherry said, "From now on, I hope you can give me more warmth. Look at them. They are all around aunt now, and then look at our boss. I just mentioned the name of Lily. He has been absent-minded for a long time. Obviously, they don't care about me anymore. You are the only one who can take care of me."
"Don't worry. I'll protect you."
"Brother is the best!" With a bright smile on her face, she put down her chopsticks and rubbed her hands on his arm, looking like a lackey.
This year's family reunion dinner was obviously much more lively than before, and at the same time, it was much happier, although it was a little late. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
After dinner, Amanda took Angela to the room specially prepared for her. The mother and the daughter had been separated for nearly twenty years, and they always had a lot to talk about. At the same time, Betty and Carry also went there, saying that they should have a good talk with their sister tonight.
At last, there were only a group of men and a woman in the living room.
At this moment, lying on the sofa with her head resting on the thighs of Noble, Sherry listened to the conversation of these people quietly.
"Eric, come here." Jackson waved at him.
"Grandpa." Eric stood up, walked to him and sat next to him.
"Tell me, what happened?" Jackson went straight to the point. The topic of conversation between men was always related to business.
Eric's eyes flashed unnaturally, "In fact, it's not a big deal."
"In the past, no matter what I said, you didn't want to come back and take over the company. Now you suddenly agree and bring your mother back. You still said it was nothing serious?" Jackson raised his eyebrows, apparently not believing what he said.
"Yes, something happened, but it's not a big deal." Eric didn't intend to say anything. After all, Jackson had just recovered. He was afraid that he would be angry if he said anything.
"Tell me the truth!" Jackson said seriously.
"Eric, tell grandpa the truth." At this time, Noble opened his mouth and glanced at Eric indifferently.
His eyes swept over Noble and finally rested on Jackson. Eric said slowly, "There is something wrong with the Gu family. My father… There is an illegitimate child outside, two years younger than me..."
"What?"
Before he could finish his words, Jackson interrupted him, "Does Richard have an illegitimate son who is only two years younger than you outside?"
Jackson was not the only one who was surprised. Even Sherry, who was lying on the sofa, was even angrier. She sat up straight and said indignantly, "Your father is so inhumane. He actually has an illegitimate child who is about my age. What's more, he's so sorry for my aunt!"
Compared with Sherry, Noble was very calm. After all, he had already known about it, so he patted on her shoulder, indicating her not to be so excited and to listen to Eric slowly.
"Okay." Eric looked at Jackson and nodded. "Today, the mother and son were taken back to the Gu family by grandpa, so..."
"So you came back directly?" Jackson interrupted him again.
"Yes." Eric nodded again.
"Good for you!" Jackson said with a look of disappointment, "Didn't they discuss with your mother about taking the mother and son back to the Gu family?"
"No." Eric shook his head and said, "If they have discussed, the current situation wouldn't have happened."
"Well, this is the man she forced to marry back then." Jackson sneered and then changed the subject, "But the people of my Sun family are not that easy to be bullied. They married at that time, but now such a thing happened and they don't take your mother seriously. I'll teach them a lesson, or I won't be named Sun!"
"Grandfather, you'd better stay out of this. I know what to do." Eric said in a hurry. To be honest, he was really afraid of what he would do. Although there were people he hated in the Gu family, not everyone he hated.
Although Wayne's stubbornness was somewhat annoying, he was also very concerned about Eric, which made him unable to hate him. Although Richard did something wrong, he couldn't hate his father after all.
"How can I not interfere?" Jackson said angrily, "Your grandfather didn't take your mother seriously or the people of the Sun family seriously!"
"Grandpa, I want to solve it on my own."
"With your current ability, can you handle this matter?" Jackson asked.
"I..." Eric was at a loss for words. To be honest, with his current strength, it was difficult for him to solve this problem immediately, but he had his own plan.
