Charlie sighed inwardly: “This really deserves to come and I can’t hide it.”
Immediately, he pretended to ask her casually: “Wife, I have something to do, do you need me to wait for you here?”
“No need.” she hurriedly said: “If you have anything to do, I guess it will be all morning on my side. After this is done, I will take a taxi to the hotel of the Emgrand Group by myself.”
“In the evening you can come there and pick me up from there.”
“Okay.” Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.
What he thinks now is that it is best not to meet Liona and Zhiyu, the mother and daughter under this situation.
So, he slowly parked the car at the door of the old house, ready to wait for Claire to get out of the car, and then leave quickly.
However, what he is afraid of is destined.
As soon as he stopped the car, a black Mercedes car stopped behind his car.
The driver was a middle-aged male. After he got out of the car, he immediately opened the two rear doors and Zhiyu and her mother Liona walked down from left to right.
At this time, Claire also pushed the door and got out of the car.
The mother and daughter happened to see her from behind, so Liona shouted in surprise: “Manager Willson!”
Claire hurriedly turned around, saw Liona, hurriedly smiled, and said, “Hello, Auntie!”
Liona smiled and said, “Why Manager Willson came so early?”
Claire said hurriedly and politely:
“Auntie, we still have a lot of renovation and decoration this time, so I came over early to confirm with you some things in detail.”
Liona nodded, pointed at Zhiyu next to her, and said: “Manager Willson, let me introduce to you, this is my daughter, Zhiyu Su.”
After all, she said to Zhiyu: “Zhiyu, this is the owner of the design studio I told you, Claire.”
Zhiyu nodded slightly, and said politely: “Hello, Manager Willson!”
Claire hurriedly said, “Don’t call me Manager Willson, just call me Claire.”
After that, she saw Liona introduced her daughter to her, so she was polite and naturally had to introduce her husband, so she hurriedly turned sideways and said to Charlie in the car:
“Husband, Come down and say hello to Auntie and Miss Su.”
In fact, Charlie sat in the car and saw Liona and Zhiyu behind him through the rearview mirror of the car.
Just when he was thinking about driving away quickly, he didn’t expect his wife to ask him down and say hello to them.
In this situation, it is definitely impossible for him to leave directly just by putting the foot on the accelerator pedal.
So he had to bite the bullet and get out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was recognized by Zhiyu with excellent eyesight.
Just as her eyes widened and she blurted out a word of kindness, Liona was also astonished. She never expected that the designer she was cooperating with was actually Charlie’s wife.
When the mother and daughter were surprised, Charlie hurriedly spoke first: “Good morning, you two, please take care of me when we meet for the first time.”
When Charlie said meeting for the first time, Zhiyu and Liona suddenly understood.
He definitely didn’t want the two of them to show the truth about his acquaintance with him in front of his wife.
So, Liona hurriedly smiled and said: “You two are really talented women.”
Zhiyu stood there silently, feeling a bit sour in her heart. At the same time, she couldn’t help looking at Claire and compared herself with her in her heart.
Claire is naturally too beautiful, but Zhiyu doesn’t think she is much worse than her. If you count her background, she will definitely beat her easily.
Claire didn’t know what Zhiyu was thinking. Seeing that Charlie had come down to greet Liona and her daughter, she looked at Charlie and said softly:
“Husband, don’t you have anything else? Go ahead, I have to go in and check the plan with Auntie.”
Charlie nodded, and said smoothly: “Okay, then I won’t delay your business.”
After speaking, he looked at Liona and Zhiyu, smiled, and said, “Auntie, Miss Su, goodbye.”
Liona and Zhiyu also politely bid farewell to him, and then watched him drive away with Claire.
Seeing Charlie left, Claire said to Liona: “Auntie, let’s go in.”
“Okay.” Liona smiled slightly, and walked into the courtyard of the old house with Claire.
As the three of them walked, Liona asked with interest: “Claire, how did you meet your husband?”
Claire smiled slightly and said truthfully: “Husband and I were introduced by my grandfather.”
“Introduced by grandfather?” Liona was very curious and couldn’t help asking: “Then how did you get together?”
Claire said embarrassingly, “How can I tell you this… We were actually married at the request of my grandfather…”
Zhiyu couldn’t help but gossipingly asked: “Ah? Didn’t you guys fell in love freely?”
Claire bit her lip and said truthfully: “Before we got married, we didn’t know much about it…”
Zhiyu was suddenly a little excited and blurted out: “Isn’t that equivalent to an arranged marriage in a feudal society?”
Zhiyu’s words made Claire suddenly more embarrassed.
She stroked the hair between her temples and said falteringly: “This…I don’t know if it counts as an arranged marriage…”
Zhiyu couldn’t help saying: “Before you got married, you two didn’t know each other. Naturally, there is no emotional foundation.”
“At the same time, there is no emotional foundation, and you married at the request of your grandfather?”
“Just like the writer Lu Xun back then, he and his original wife, Ms. Zhu An, did not have any affection. They married at the request of Mr. Lu Xun’s mother.”
With that said, Zhiyu suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: “Mr. Lu Xun and Ms. Zhu An seem to have not been a husband and wife in their lives. Wouldn’t you two be the same?!”
Facing Zhiyu’s straightforward words, Claire looked even more embarrassed, and said in embarrassment, “I…I…this…this…”
Claire’s nervousness caused Zhiyu’s eyes to suddenly look happy.
She felt that she should have guessed right, so Claire had such an unnatural performance.
If she guessed it right, then Charlie and her are only nominally husband and wife.
In that case, doesn’t it mean that she has more opportunities?
Liona on the side also saw some clues from Claire’s performance, and she also realized that this was an excellent situation for her daughter.
However, she was also ashamed of her own thoughts, after all, this kind of thing is not glorious, and even a little despicable.
At this time, Zhiyu hurriedly stepped forward, took Claire’s arm, and asked in a low voice, “Claire, how long have you been married to your husband?”
Claire said truthfully: “We have been married for four years.”
“Four years?” Zhiyu asked pretendingly in surprise: “Then can you tell me how is your arranged marriage, like how are you two getting along in four years?”
“Is it as a friend as a guest or a persons acting to live together, basically not interfering with each other?”
Claire was even more embarrassed by Zhiyu’s question, and for a moment she didn’t know what to say.
But the more embarrassed she was, the more determined Zhiyu’s guess, and her heart became more relaxed.
Liona on the side saw Claire blushing with Zhiyu’s question, and hurriedly said to Zhiyu:
“Zhiyu, stop talking nonsense here, how can you gossip about other people’s privacy?”
Zhiyu also realized that it was really wrong for her to do this, and hurriedly said apologetically: “I’m sorry, Claire, I’m too much gossiping.”
Claire heaved a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
After that, she quickly took out the tablet from her bag, opened the sketch she designed, and said to Liona: “Auntie, let’s talk about the plan!”
Liona said: “Okay, it’s important to talk about business matters!”
Zhiyu’s heart was a little excited at this time.
For a long time, she felt that there were too many obstacles between herself and Charlie, and the possibility was very thin.
Among them, the biggest obstacle is Charlie’s wife, who is comparable to the insurmountable Mount Everest.
Secondly, there is Sara who has a marriage contract with him, and even he even may have more confidantes she doesn’t know.
However, the discovery just now gave her a little more confidence deep in her heart.
Because the biggest obstacle does not seem to be as difficult to overcome as she imagined.
At this moment, she had a feeling of indifference.
So, while her mother was talking about plans with Claire, she hurriedly walked out of the old house and went to the yard. Then she took out her phone and sent Charlie a WeChat voice:
“Grace, I didn’t expect you to be with your wife all because of an arranged marriage!”
On this side, Charlie left the old town and was driving to the airport.
On the way, he was still thinking about the meeting with Liona and Zhiyu just now, and he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly:
“In contrast, Aurous Hill is such a small city. If it continues to develop like this, the chances of meeting various acquaintances will increase in the future.”
“The more, and the more people who know my true identity, if things go on like this, sooner or later there will be times when the paper won’t hold the fire.”
In addition to feeling that Aurous Hill is a bit small, Charlie also felt that more and more people were pouring into the city from all walks of life.
Zhiyu is here, Nanako is also here, and Sara will be there soon.
Just don’t know where these people will go after Sara’s concert.
Just when he was feeling deeply moved, he suddenly received Zhiyu’s WeChat. Upon seeing it, he was shocked by the content of the text.
He looked at the time, and he had just left for only five minutes. Why did Zhiyu get these things out of Claire’s mouth so quickly? !
He sighed at Zhiyu’s shrewdness, and at the same time replied to her with a voice message: “What’s wrong with the arranged marriage? Although Wife and I are in an arranged marriage, we have a very good relationship.”
Zhiyu saw that Charlie replied to a voice message, so she cautiously put the phone in her ear and listened to the message from Charlie.
Afterward, she lowered her voice and replied: “My dear, don’t lie to me. I guess you and your wife are not only in an arranged marriage, but you two have never been married properly, right?”
Charlie didn’t expect this girl’s eyes to be so poisonous, so he avoided talking about it: “There is no need to tell you everything about the matter between the two of us, right?”
Zhiyu replied earnestly:
“Avoiding to talk about it is a manifestation of a guilty conscience. Moreover, if you two are in a good relationship and you are married after marriage, then you will be married for four years and you cannot have any children. I’m sure that you two are married!”
Charlie was very helpless at her guess, neither admitting nor refuting it, and said lightly: “How do you guess is your freedom.”
Zhiyu immediately accepted it and said, “Grace doesn’t want me to guess, so I won’t guess. Grace, don’t be angry with me.”
As she said, she did not wait for Charlie to express his position, and hurriedly said again:
“By the way, I have an appointment with Miss Watt. We will meet at Emgrand Group at 9:30 this morning to discuss the details of the follow-up cooperation. I don’t know when the friend will arrive. Will you come?”
Charlie replied: “I have something to do today, so I won’t go there, but I asked Orvel to contact Melba. When you meet her, he should also pass by.”
“I have promised to purchase material for the cargo ships, and The security work of the terminal is entrusted to him, so he will also cooperate with you in the future.”
“If you have any requirements or needs, you can directly mention it to him.”
Zhiyu said: “Okay Grace, I will discuss it in detail with Miss Watt and Mr. Orvel.”
As she said, she suddenly remembered something and asked, “By the way, Grace, are you going to pick up Sara at the airport today?!”
When Charlie heard this, he couldn’t help frowning and asked her, “Why do you say that?”
Zhiyu said truthfully: “I know that Grace and Sara have a marriage contract, and it is said that their family has not given up looking for you for so many years.”
“Combined with her sudden selection of the first concert of the tour in Aurous Hill, it can basically be guessed. She must have done this with the Grace.”
“Since Miss Gu has come from a long distance, as the host, it is reasonable for you to go to the airport to pick her up from the plane.”
When Charlie heard this, he couldn’t help sighing, Zhiyu is indeed very smart, even smart enough to make him involuntarily make wary of her!
When Charlie went to the airport, Zhifei had already learned the departure time of Sara’s private plane from his own channel.
It just so happened that the informer he placed in the stadium told him that Sara would not arrive at the stadium for rehearsal until the afternoon.
The two time points of departure time and rehearsal time were very consistent, giving him a full grasp of Sara’s itinerary.
He felt that since she won’t land until 12 o’clock and a little closer, then he didn’t have to worry about going to the airport.
So he confessed to his subordinates, set off on time at 11:30, and set off to the airport to meet Sara.
However, what he didn’t know was that Sara was already sitting on the plane heading to Aurous Hill.
Charlie arrived at the airport at 9:30 in the morning. When he arrived, Issac had already arrived.
Under Issac’s leadership, Charlie drove the car into the airport and drove straight to the hangar.
In order to prevent Sara’s identity from being exposed, Issac used his relationship to move all the staff and other aircraft out of the hangar that can accommodate four aircraft.
This made sure that before Sara’s plane stops, he and Charlie are the only two in the entire hangar.
Fifteen minutes later, Sara’s business jet landed at Aurous Hill Airport, and then followed the guided car and taxied all the way to the hangar.
As soon as the plane came in, Issac took out a bunch of flowers from his car and handed them to Charlie, and said, “Master, these are the flowers you asked me to prepare.”
Charlie asked in surprise: “When did I ask you to prepare flowers?”
Issac hurriedly lowered his voice and said, “Master, Miss Gu has come from afar, if you are not even ready to put flowers in front of her, how can you get past?”
Charlie looked down at the handful of roses, and said embarrassingly, “Even if it’s giving flowers, it’s not appropriate to give roses?”
“Not at all!” Issac waved his hand hurriedly: “Master, there is nothing inappropriate about it. If there are no flowers, it is really inappropriate.”
As soon as Issac finished speaking, the cabin door of the business jet in front of him slowly opened outward.
The opened cabin door flipped to the ground and became a staircase. Sara ran down happily like a gust of wind.
“Charlie!”
Seeing Charlie, she yelled sweetly all the way, then ran to him, saw a bunch of flowers in his hand, and said excitedly: “Wow! Charlie, are these flowers for me?”
Charlie looked at the flowers in his hand, feeling helpless, but he could only nod and smile: “Yes, it’s for you…”
“Great!” she took the flowers happily, looked around, and saw that there were no outsiders except Issac, so she immediately stood on tiptoe, ki55ed Charlie on the cheek, and said sweetly: ” Thank you, Charlie!”
At this time, Issac hurriedly turned his head and walked aside with a smirk.
He knew very well in his heart that if the scene where Sara ki55ed Charlie just now, if it were filmed and posted on the Internet, it would probably be the top headline and number one hot search for at least one week.
Unlike Kim’s enthusiasm that relies entirely on hype and money, Sara’s enthusiasm is completely real.
In China, she is a national idol, the dream lover of all men, and her status is higher than that of Japan’s national woman Yui Aragaki.
On this side, Charlie pretended to touch his face indifferently, and said to her:
“Sara, you must be very exhausted from the long journey. I’d better send you to the hotel to rest first.”
She hurriedly took his arm and asked him, “Charlie, are you going to be free later?”
Charlie shook his head: “It’s nothing, what’s the matter?”
She said coquettishly: “Then you will have lunch with me in the hotel at noon?”
“Okay.” Charlie agreed without thinking about it. He didn’t plan to go home at noon anyway. It was the same wherever, wherever he ate.
So he took the initiative to open the door of the co-pilot and said: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to Shangri-La.”
“Okay!” Sara hurriedly sat in with the flowers.
Charlie greeted Issac, and Issac got into his car, drove ahead, and left the airport.
On the way, Charlie asked Sara: “Sara, what time will Uncle and Auntie come over tomorrow?”
Sara said: “They should be here around this time tomorrow, or maybe a little later.”
Sara spoke further: “By the way, Charlie, if you have nothing to do tomorrow morning, we can come to the airport to pick them up together!”
Charlie nodded and said, “Okay, you turn around and confirm the time with them. Then we will meet at the airport together.”
Sara immediately took out her mobile phone and said with a smile: “Don’t wait to turn around, I will make a video call to dad now.”
Charlie said hurriedly, “No rush to ask now. Uncle may be at work. It doesn’t matter if you ask at night.”
Sara waved her hand: “Charlie, it is okay, I have to tell them about my arrival anyway.”
After speaking, she clicked the request for video call.
Soon, Philip turned on the video and asked with a smile: “Sara, you have landed in Aurous Hill safely, right?”
She smiled and said, “Dad, I have arrived. Charlie came to pick me.”
With that, she quickly raised her phone to the right, so that the camera could just capture Charlie who was driving on the left.
When Philip saw Charlie, he immediately smiled and said, “Oh, Charlie, you had to go to the airport to pick up my daughter!”
Charlie smiled and said, “Uncle, you are too far-sighted. Your daughter came to Aurous Hill, how can I not come to pick her up.”
Philip smiled and said:
“Originally, I and your Auntie planned to come over there today, but there is a board of directors on the group’s side that is about to open.”
“Today it is really hard to get away, so I will come to Aurous Hill tomorrow morning to meet you.”
“Okay, Uncle.” Charlie hurriedly said, “Tomorrow, I will come to the airport to pick you up and Auntie together with your daughter.”
As Philip was talking, on the other side of the video, Linan walked into Philip’s office and said, “Philip, everyone is almost there. Come join us.”
Philip smiled and said, “I’m videoing with Sara and Charlie. Would you like to talk?”
“Really?” Linan said with joy, and hurriedly ran behind Philip, leaned over, and smiled at the camera:
“Charlie, tomorrow is your birthday. Auntie wishes you a happy birthday in advance!”
Charlie hurriedly said, “Thank you, Auntie!”
Linan had long regarded him as her son-in-law, even her own son, so she was very close to him in her heart, and said with a smile:
“You won’t come to Eastcliff this time to see me and your Uncle. we both miss you. Uncle talks about you every day here at home.”
Philip smiled and said, “It’s like you don’t talk about it. How do I remember that you talk about him the most?”
Linan smiled and said, “Charlie is in my mind, just like my own son. Is there anything wrong with me being a mother?”
Philip nodded and said to Charlie:
“Look, Charlie, Auntie and I really treat you as our own child. If you have time in the future, you must come to Eastcliff to see us often!”
Charlie agreed without hesitation, and said, “Uncle, don’t worry, I will definitely.”
Philip nodded in satisfaction, and said:
“Charlie, Auntie, and I are going to convene the board of directors meeting, so let’s not talk about it. Let’s meet tomorrow!”
When Sara heard that her parents were going to the meeting, she hurriedly said:
“Mom and dad, don’t hang up in a hurry. I haven’t shown you the flowers that Charlie gave me!”
After speaking, she quickly switched the cameras and took a picture of the bunch of flowers on her lap.
Linan at the end of the video said with a smile: “Oh, Charlie is really interested in such a big bouquet of roses!”
“I have been with your dad for so many years, and it seems that your dad has never given me flowers.”
Philip said embarrassingly: “We are an old couple, so how can we pay attention to these?”
Linan gave him a white look and said, “So this is the gap between you and Charlie.”
“Do you think Charlie knows more about romance? Even just picking up at the airport, a bunch of roses is prepared by him.”
Charlie was also very speechless for a while.
Sara smiled at this time and said, “Dad, did you hear that? You will learn more from Charlie in the future!”
After finishing speaking, she said contentedly: “Okay, I’m done showing off. Go ahead and hang up!”
After Sara hung up the video, Charlie asked her curiously: “Sara, now Auntie is also busy with the Gu Group?”
“Yes.” Sara nodded and said with a smile: “Since dad recovered, the group has developed as fast as a chicken blood.”
“Many things are there and they are too busy, and dad doesn’t particularly believe in my two uncles, so mom just goes and helps him.”
After speaking, Sara sighed: “Mom is really a strong woman, and she is more dedicated to her work than my dad.”
“In the recent period, she has obviously become a little more haggard than before, which makes me feel distressed.”
Charlie smiled slightly and said: “Then after Uncle and Auntie come tomorrow, I will give them supplementary medicine, which will definitely relieve their health.”
Sara chuckled and said, “That’s great! Charlie, you have such a good recipe, so you can just give me a pair of pills too. I have been working hard recently!”
“Okay.” Charlie said casually: “Isn’t that a sentence?”
Sara nodded, remembering something, and hurriedly asked: “By the way, Charlie, how is Kim now?”
“What did you do to him that made him make the decision to quit the entertainment industry?”
“He.” Charlie said casually: “I asked Orvel to arrange for him to go out to sea for fishing first.”
“Ah?” Sara asked with a look of surprise: “What?! Going out to sea to fish? Didn’t his agency declare that he is going to study abroad?”
Charlie smiled and said, “He wants to study abroad? It’s so beautiful that his liver hurts! I arranged for him a three-year internship as a seafarer.”
“I arrange for him to go for an internship on a fishing boat when he is running. He will not be allowed to disembark after three years.”
“It is estimated that he has already arrived in the South China Sea and started fishing.”
Sara chuckled and blurted out: “Charlie, you are too bad, why let him be a seaman…”
Charlie said in a joking tone: “The main reason is that there are too many people living in the kennel. It is still being expanded at this time, so he is lucky.”
Sara was stunned, and asked in a puzzled way: “Charlie, what kind of kennel? What does it mean to live in a kennel?”
Charlie waved his hand: “It’s nothing, this kind of thing is not suitable for children, you don’t need to know too much.”
Sara stuck out her tongue and said obediently: “Okay, then I won’t ask.”
