chapter 4 birthday dinner

by Krisalyn 11:00,Feb 23,2024


After only twenty minutes of waiting, the click of high-heeled shoes could be heard in the corridor outside the door.

Crisp voice and good figure!

Listening to the movement outside, Elmer Waller guessed.

Before coming here, he had also paid attention to the women on the road. Any tall ones walked more crisply.

The one with a fatter body has a heavier voice.

This was also because his hearing became sharp after being tempered. At this moment, the door opened.

A tall woman in her twenties walked in. She was wearing a sky blue knitted dress, with a standard oval face and delicate and stunning facial features.

Wearing a smooth ponytail, tied with a beautiful bow.

Looking at this stunning face with endless coldness, Elmer Waller was shocked and then relieved. It was her, the female CEO!

"Old Mr. Rathbond!"

Oliana Seywell walked towards Old Mr. Rathbond and said calmly.

"Miss Shangguan, this is the young man who wants to sell wild ginseng."Old Mr. Rathbond introduced him with a smile. Oliana Seywell turned around, frowned, and said coldly: "Why is it you?"

She was deeply impressed by Elmer Waller. It was her first time working as a driver, but she was teased repeatedly, which made her secretly grit her teeth in anger.

Even after so many days, she could still clearly remember what Elmer Waller said at that time. He actually wanted her to be his second wife. How abominable!

When the two met again, they were naturally unhappy with Elmer Waller.

"Why can't it be me? Even though you, the female CEO, can be a driver for others, why can't I come out and sell wild ginseng?"

Elmer Waller smiled.

"shut up!"

Oliana Seywell face became even colder. She glanced at the fairy ginseng on the table with cold eyes and said, "How much do you want to bid?"

Seeing her cold attitude, Elmer Waller became a little unhappy and said, "My wild ginseng is not comparable to ordinary wild ginseng. If it weren't for the fact that we are relatively acquainted, I wouldn't be prepared to sell it to you." …”

"How many?"

Oliana Seywell emphasized coldly.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Elmer Waller sat on the ground and raised his price and shouted.

Oliana Seywell glanced at him coldly, stretched out her white fingers to pinch the fairy ginseng, put it on the electronic scale and weighed it, and said, "It's less than 12 grams. The highest price for wild ginseng in the market is only one gram per gram." Ten thousand, you actually offered two hundred thousand, are you crazy because of your poverty?"

Elmer Waller was quite embarrassed by what she said. This female CEO was really not in vain. He was not someone he could cheat casually.

He knew that the value of his fairy ginseng was far beyond that of wild ginseng, but he couldn't tell it, so he could only take a step back and said, "Then how much are you asking for?"

"One hundred thousand!"

Oliana Seywell said coldly.

"Okay, achievement!"

Elmer Waller agreed without thinking. This was much higher than his price. He quickly handed her the bank card as if he was afraid that she would regret it.

Oliana Seywell used mobile banking to transfer money. Before leaving, Yun Jianchen gave him a cold look. Elmer Waller chuckled and said, "Beauty, can I take a ride with you!"

There was a bang, and the door was closed.

Elmer Waller smiled awkwardly and took out a wad of change from his pocket. Most of them were one-dollar notes, but there were also a few ten-dollar notes. He said to Old Mr. Rathbond: "Old Mr. Rathbond, I only carry so much money with me. How can you pay me for it?" …”

Old Mr. Rathbond face was a little ugly. He called it a scam in his heart and said, "No need. If you dig up wild ginseng again in the future, you must keep it intact. I will help you sell it at a good price. When the time comes, you can give it to me." Just pay me a little."

"All right."

Elmer Waller agreed. Thinking of the ginseng whisker that he cut off and soaked in water, he felt a little sick. It was so cheating. Just one ginseng whisker cost him a lot of money.

After thinking about it, Elmer Waller called his home phone number from Mr. Ren's office and told him that he dug wild ginseng and sold it for 100,000 yuan. His parents didn't believe it, and they repeatedly emphasized that a poor person should not be short-minded, even if his family owed money. With a debt of hundreds of thousands, I can't do anything illegal.

Elmer Waller had expected this early in the morning and asked Old Mr. Rathbond to help. After Mr. Ren described it vividly, his parents believed it.

After hanging up the phone, Elmer Waller transferred 100,000 yuan to his father's account.

"Young man, where did you dig this wild ginseng? Can you tell me?"

Old Mr. Rathbond pondered for a moment and asked.

"Old Mr. Rathbond, I have no comment on this. We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Elmer Waller said apologetically, turned around and left.

Time flies like an arrow, and November 9th is here in a blink of an eye.

In the past two days, the cold air has moved southward, and Klobester in the south has also shown signs of winter. Everyone else is wearing coats.

After Elmer Waller's transformation, his physique was much better than that of ordinary people, so he didn't feel cold even wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

Today is the birthday of his girlfriend's mother, Magena Lapwood. He has been waiting for this day for a long time and played with the Starry Fairy Chess in the room.

Since he only had one merit point, he could not move the chess piece, so he had to put it away.

After Magena Lapwood birthday party, he thought about how to get merit points so that he could push the chess piece forward in order to obtain other rewards.

Before going out, he dialed Shatara Lyson's number again. The phone beeped, indicating that the phone number you dialed was on call.

After trying several times, it was still the same, so Elmer Waller had no choice but to give up.

After leaving his residence, Elmer Waller went to the gift shop, took out the ginseng, and asked the waiter to package it beautifully, for which he paid dozens of dollars.

After finishing all these, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Elmer Waller took the bus and rushed to Marina Pier Hotel.

There was a traffic jam all the way, and the bus stopped and went. When we arrived at the stop, it was already after five o'clock.

It was dark, and Elmer Waller carried the fairy ginseng to the Marina Pier Hotel, a hundred meters away. The Marina Pier Hotel is a well-known hotel chain in Klobester.

At this time, the parking space outside the hotel was full of cars, most of which were luxury cars like Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

As he got closer, Elmer Waller saw Magena Lapwood standing at the door of the hotel to greet guests. She was over 1.6 meters tall and looked even taller in high heels.

She was wearing a red cheongsam with a small suit on top, which made her look quite elegant.

Although he is already in his forties, he is well maintained and looks dignified and beautiful.

She was entertaining the guests with a smile, and standing next to her was a polite middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He was Shatara Lyson's father, Vincent Lyson!

After hesitating for a moment, Elmer Waller walked over carrying the fairy ginseng.

Magena Lapwood obviously saw him too, her pretty face suddenly turned cold, and Elmer Waller said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Auntie, uncle."

"What are you here for?"

Magena Lapwood said coldly.

"Today is my aunt's birthday. I am Liqian's boyfriend, so I should come here to congratulate you. This is my little thought. Please accept it."Elmer Waller suppressed the displeasure in his heart and handed her the gift box containing the fairy ginseng. , unexpectedly, Magena Lapwood actually changed her cold attitude just now, took the fairy ginseng, nodded and said: "Okay, then you go in."

Elmer Waller nodded and walked into the hotel.

"What are you doing? Why did you accept his gift when you clearly knew it was impossible for them?"

Vincent Lyson said with some dissatisfaction.

"I act with discretion, and I will end this matter today."

Magena Lapwood said forcefully.

The conversation between them was transmitted to Elmer Waller's ears word for word. Although Elmer Waller felt a little uncomfortable, he didn't feel anything wrong.

Of course he knew the attitude of Shatara Lyson's parents towards him.

Magena Lapwood used all means and was tough, while Vincent Lyson, a university professor, was relatively gentle.

Elmer Waller searched for a while but couldn't find Shatara Lyson, so he sat down in the corner under the arrangement of others.

Anyway, this is her mother's birthday party. No matter how much Magena Lapwood controls her, she will definitely show up then.

Elmer Waller took a moment to look at the guests at the same table. They had darker skin and ordinary clothes. He could tell at a glance that they were ordinary people.

Compared with the people in suits and ties at the next table, they are undoubtedly weaker.

Most of them were taciturn, and Elmer Waller felt slightly angry.

Liu Ying was too snobbish, and it was obvious that she was bullying others. Those who had no money were all assigned to the same table.

It was obviously her instruction to assign him to this table.

Not long after, Magena Lapwood and others came surrounded by an old man. This old man turned out to be Old Mr. Rathbond. He sat at the main table with a calm expression.

Elmer Waller thought for a while and felt that it would be more appropriate to wait until the dinner was over before going over to say hello.

He stared straight at the stairs. Under his expectation, Shatara Lyson finally arrived. Today she was wearing a pink tight skirt and her slender legs were covered with flesh-colored stockings. She looked very sexy and charming.

Elmer Waller stood up with joy and suddenly saw the man following her.

Wearing a dark blue suit, he was very tall and handsome. He was actually carrying Shatara Lyson's satchel, and he was holding a pink women's coat in his hand, which obviously belonged to her as well.

Her eyes narrowed a few times, and at this moment, Shatara Lyson took the initiative to hold the man's arm and walked toward Magena Lapwood.

Yun Jianchen couldn't help but grasp it with both hands, and Elmer Waller controlled the growing anger in his heart.

Elmer Waller didn't believe that Shatara Lyson would betray him. This was her mother's birthday party, and he didn't want to cause a misunderstanding because of his impulse.

He wanted to see what was going on. Under his gaze, Magena Lapwood accepted the man's gift with a smile.

Picked up the microphone and said: "Today is my birthday party. I, Magena Lapwood, am grateful that everyone can come here. Taking advantage of this great day, I want to announce something."

Magena Lapwood paused and said, "Liqian already has a partner and will be engaged next month."

"His Paddy Zorn, and he is my prospective son-in-law."

Magena Lapwood Ying pointed at the handsome man with a smile. Elmer Waller mind immediately exploded, and the last glimmer of hope was shattered. He was suffocated by heartache. All the past events appeared in his mind like images, and his eyes were dull. .

"This is a diamond necklace worth 90,000 yuan. Although it is not very expensive, my aunt likes it very much."

Magena Lapwood opened the gift box that Paddy Zorn gave her and held up the sparkling silver diamond necklace with a bright smile on her gorgeous face.

All the guests were amazed that Paddy Zorn family background must not be simple.

Seeing the surprised expressions of all the guests, Magena Lapwood felt very satisfied. Then she picked up the box containing the ginseng. Changing the subject, she coldly introduced: "This is a gift given to me by Li Qian's ex-boyfriend. See what it is?"

Elmer Waller came back to his senses and looked at her, an icy chill suddenly shot out of his eyes.

How could he not know the purpose of Magena Lapwood move, which was to severely humiliate him on the spot!

He looked at Shatara Lyson, but she didn't react at all.

Magena Lapwood opened the box and took out the fairy ginseng, but said with a look of disdain: "This ginseng has a refreshing fragrance. It should be sprayed with perfume. This ginseng is probably only tens of yuan per pound. I'd like to This is what I hate. If you don’t have money, you can work hard, but you can’t cheat or go astray. I can’t have this ginseng, otherwise others will think I’m easy to deceive!”

At this moment, Old Mr. Rathbond, who was sitting at her desk, had already stood up and said excitedly: "Mrs. Lin, can you show me?"

"Old Mr. Rathbond, you are a well-known old pharmacist in Klobester, and you are also the vice president of Klobester Medical Association. It is most suitable for you to do this."

Magena Lapwood handed the immortal ginseng to Old Mr. Rathbond and looked at Elmer Waller, full of ridicule.
