chapter 19 Honey, why don't you answer my call?

"Come on, Aria, don't just stand there, say hello to your Aunt Luna."
"Hello, Aunt Luna."
Aria Zhao raised her head and said in a very perfunctory manner, appearing aloof.
"Um, Hazel Wang!" Luna Wang didn't want to stay any longer and said straight to the point, "This time you came, are you here to talk about a marriage?"
"Marriage? What kind of marriage are you talking about?" Hazel Wang was taken aback at first, then covered her mouth and smiled artificially. "Luna Wang, you mean Aria and your son?"
"Haha, impossible, impossible."
"Our Aria already has a boyfriend, he works in this restaurant and he's even a supervisor!"
"Your son, I heard he just got out of prison, probably hasn't found a job yet, right?"
Years ago, Hazel Wang was interested in Alexander Xu and thought he seemed reliable.
Of course, the key was that at that time, Luna Wang's family was quite well-off!
Later, she felt uncomfortable about this matter, like a thorn in her side.
Now that her daughter has found someone good, she deliberately invited Luna Wang's family over to show off.
She wanted to tell Luna Wang that your son, Alexander Xu, has a criminal record, he's nothing compared to my daughter.
"Oh, we're not here for a marriage!" Luna Wang's face changed slightly and she stood up directly. "Since that's the case, we'll be leaving."
"Don't go!" Hazel Wang couldn't let her leave so easily, she said enthusiastically, "I'm doing well now, you're my good sister, you should share in my good fortune, right?"
"As for me, I've already talked to my good son-in-law, I asked him to help Alexander Xu find a job at the restaurant, at least he can earn some money to support himself."
"Yes, yes," Luna Wang nodded and couldn't argue with her.
"Aria, call your boyfriend over and introduce him to Alexander."
"Sure, Mom."
Aria Zhao agreed very simply.
In no time, a well-dressed man in a suit walked over, with his hair neatly groomed and shiny leather shoes.
When the waiter saw him, he immediately bowed slightly and respectfully called out, "Mr. Li!"
John Li smiled slightly, showing some arrogance. After entering the private room, he exchanged pleasantries.
"This is Aria's new boyfriend, John Li. He's young and already a supervisor at the restaurant. He'll probably become a manager in the future."
Hazel Wang introduced enthusiastically and even gave John Li a meaningful look.
John Li smiled faintly and looked at Alexander Xu.
Before coming here, Auntie Hazel had already given instructions. This guy had rejected Aria Zhao before, so today he must be properly dealt with.
"You must be Alexander Xu, right? I heard you still don't have a job. Is there anything I can help with?"
Alexander Xu remained silent.
He didn't mean to lose face intentionally, but he had received calls from an unknown number over a dozen times!
"Alexander, this is not the time to worry about face." Hazel Wang kindly advised, "John, can you help him find a job at the restaurant?”
“This…” John Li shook his head and said awkwardly, “This might be a bit difficult; Alexander Xu has a criminal record since he has been to prison. Our restaurant is a property of the He family, and they have always been strict in personnel recruitment."
The He family?
Upon hearing these two words, Luna Wang and Alan Xu were both shocked.
The He family was one of the four major families in Donghai City. Virtually all the star-rated hotels, restaurants, and eateries here were owned by the He family.
It's no exaggeration to say that in the hearts of ordinary people, the He family was like a deity!
No wonder Luna Wang carefully orchestrated this drama; it turns out she found such an excellent son-in-law to deliberately settle an old score.
Alexander Xu immediately turned off his phone and smiled, "Auntie Hazel, I appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to find me a job."
If Alexander Xu wanted to, he could easily get a job at Hua Feng Pharmaceutical with just a word.
"Alexander, why are you being so modest?"
"This isn't the time to worry about face. You have a criminal record, and no company would hire you."
"John, how about you find him a job washing dishes or serving food? It might be tiring, but at least he can earn a living!"
Hazel Wang appeared to be considering Alexander Xu's welfare on the surface but was actually mocking him.
Luna Wang was seething with anger, trying her best to contain her rage.
Every word Hazel Wang said felt like a slap in the face, hitting her hard.
"Washing dishes won't do," John Li shook his head.
"Oh? Well, there's nothing we can do then. Big restaurants like this one are strict," Hazel Wang sighed artificially. "How about this, I heard that Alexander was recently dumped by someone. John, why don't you keep an eye out for a girlfriend for him and help him settle down?"
John Li replied, "He has a criminal record; it might be difficult."
Hazel Wang continued, "Waitress will do. With Alexander's background, there's no room for him to be picky."
They talked twin in front of them, seamlessly coordinating their rhythm.
They rubbed the faces of Alexander Xu's family in the dirt, over and over.
At that moment, outside the door.
Aurora Su had been waiting for quite some time, getting increasingly impatient.
"Damn it, Alexander Xu, you hung up on me and turned off your phone!"
Something had happened at home, and she couldn't reach Alexander Xu. She had her people check, and that's how she found out that Alexander Xu was at this restaurant.
She had intended to go inside, but unexpectedly, there was a commotion inside. She eavesdropped for a while, feeling extremely disdainful of Alexander Xu.
After everything that had happened just now, this guy couldn't even say a word!
Is he still a man?
When he dealt with her earlier, he was fierce, so why is he silent now?
She took a deep breath, took out a small mirror, applied Chanel limited-edition lipstick, and touched up her makeup.
Then, she pursed her lips and combed her long hair.
"You pervert, I'm helping you this time!"
She didn't actually have feelings for Alexander Xu. Instead, she felt that as the Vice President of Hua Feng Pharmaceutical, she couldn't accept the fact that a man who was fierce to her was now defeated by another woman.
This, she couldn't stand, absolutely not!
As she pushed open the door, Aurora Su's entire presence radiated power.
Dressed in a black dress that highlighted her graceful figure, with bright red high heels, she exuded the aura of a queen!
As her high heels made a crisp sound on the floor, everyone in the private room turned to look.
Aurora Su was used to such small scenes and didn't flinch. Her smile was calculated to perfection.
Even her steps were exactly the same!
Her elegant and noble temperament, combined with her stunning looks, immediately caused John Li's eyes to flicker with heat, and his breathing became rapid.
Aria Zhao, on the other hand, felt inferior and lowered her head as if she were an ugly duckling in front of this radiant woman.
"Miss, are you in the wrong place?"
"No, I'm not." Aurora Su smiled and sat down naturally next to Alexander Xu. "Darling, why didn't you answer my call?"
