About to go downstairs, Hiroko suddenly paused.
"You have to help me keep the secret," Hiroko said through gritted teeth. It felt very bad to be manipulated.
"If you cooperate, I will help," Canyn said with a smile.
"Hmph." Hiroko felt disgusted when she saw Canyn's smile.
Hiroko went downstairs and had no intention of saying hello to Emmiline. She sat down at the dining table and started eating.
Emmiline seemed to be used to Hiroko's behavior and didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she greeted Canyn with a smile and said, " Canyn, you can come and eat too. I've prepared it for you."
"General Manager Clemens, no need, I already ate it when I came here." Canyn did indeed eat two sesame seed cakes when he came here.
"You're welcome, come on, let's treat this place as our home from now on." Emmiline smiled and invited again.
"Thank you, General Manager Clemens." Canyn touched his nose and felt that Emmiline should have seen a lot of things. Her attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.
Canyn felt awkward sitting down to eat.
The atmosphere was very silent. Both Hiroko and Emmiline were eating in silence without any communication. However, Hiroko was expressionless while Emmiline was smiling. What a strange mother and daughter.
However, Emmiline seemed to have noticed Canyn's restraint, so she greeted Canyn several times, which made Canyn feel embarrassed.
"Hypocrisy." Hiroko curled her lips when she thought of the way Canyn behaved in front of her, and then looked at the reserved and embarrassed look Canyn behaved now.
"Hiroko, I have a business trip tomorrow," Emmiline said softly when she saw that Hiroko had almost eaten.
"I had expected it." Hiroko put down her bowls and chopsticks and said coldly, "I knew that there would be a price to pay for this dinner."
" Hiroko, there's nothing mom can do, at the club..." Emmiline explained quickly.
"I don't want to hear your explanation. You're always busy. Just do your thing." Hiroko ran upstairs angrily.
"I don't want to study tonight, you can come back tomorrow." When walking on the stairs, Hiroko turned around and said, and then disappeared in a flash.
" Canyn, I'm sorry to make you see this," Emmiline said with a bitter smile.
"I believe Miss Clemens will slowly understand you," Canyn said thoughtfully.
This kind of gap between close relatives made Canyn incomprehensible. At the same time, he didn't know how to deal with it, let alone how to comfort people.
" Canyn, thank you." Emmiline suddenly said seriously.
Canyn’s face was full of doubts, why did she thank him now?
"Hiroko knows me too well, just like I know her. Under normal circumstances, she would not come down to eat this meal." Emmiline said softly, "And it must be you who makes her change."
Only then did Canyn understand why Emmiline attitude became so enthusiastic after he came down. Must be because of this.
"I actually didn't do anything," Canyn said, scratching his head.
Emmiline smiled. It didn't matter whether Canyn did anything or not. What was important was that Canyn made her see the hope of changing Hiroko. That was the most important thing.
"Take this," Emmiline took out two bills.
"General Manager Clemens."
"You deserve this, but I also want to see more changes in Hiroko. If you can do it, I will increase the price," Emmiline said encouragingly.
"Don't worry, General Manager Clemens, I will do my best," Canyn said seriously.
"Don't call me General Manager Clemens, it seems awkward. You were introduced by Corda, so just call me sister Clemens." Emmiline smiled and stroked her hair, revealing her elegance and charm.
"I'm on a business trip tomorrow. I hope you'll come over early in the morning to accompany Hiroko, study or do other things. Take care of it for me. I'll pay for it." Emmiline asked, "Do you have time?"
"Yes." Canyn hesitated and asked, "sister Clemens, do you believe in me so much?"
"Aren't you worthy of my trust?" Emmiline asked with a smile.
"I'm just surprised," Canyn said, "after all, you don't know me very well."
"I feel you are trustworthy, and that's enough." Emmiline continued with a smile, "I'm very accurate in judging people."
Sitting on the bus back, Canyn was still thinking about Emmiline's words and could only say that Emmiline's eyes were too vicious.
He had a face worthy of trust, it was natural
Canyn was very happy
Of course, the main reason for being happy was the two bills. He had already started to calculate in his mind. If he spent a day with Hiroko tomorrow, it would be calculated as ten hours. At the end of the day, he would have two thousand yuan, and his eyes instantly lit up.
So much so that after getting off the bus, Canyn was still cheerful.
"Forney, that's the guy?" asked a man in his thirties in a van across from the Studing community.
"Yes, it's his boss, let's go up." The Forney was the red-haired man from daytime.
And next to him was the yellow-haired man, that gangster named Gannicus.
"Are you mad? Wait a minute. There are cameras on the street. You want to deal with him under the camera?" Mansel Causey scolded.
"Brother Mansel, what should we do?" Forney and Gannicus said, "This person is too arrogant and wants to steal our girlfriend."
"Don't think that I don't know your virtues. It's because you want to steal someone else's favor, right? But it doesn't matter. You just follow me, and you won't be bullied by others. Today, brother Mansel, I will definitely help you get your place back." Mansel said in a deep voice, "We will take action after he enters the community. This community is very old, and there are no cameras inside, so it will be easier for us to take action."
"Boss is wise, why didn't I think of it? You are worthy of being the boss," Forney said quickly.
"Stop talking nonsense, everyone is in, let's drive." Mansel patted the back of Forney's head, with a cruel look on his face.
Although the time spent at Clemens's house was not very long, less than an hour, it was almost more than an hour on the road, so it was already close to ten o'clock.
The Studing community had become a bit quiet. Looking around, you could see the shining windows in the buildings. This was home.
As Canyn was walking, a van suddenly rushed out from behind and stopped in front of Canyn, blocking the way.
And in the car, ten people came down with a clatter, all holding steel pipes in their hands, and all of them looked unhappy.
Canyn saw the red-haired Forney and the yellow-haired Gannicus at a glance, and his eyes suddenly became a little cold.
Mansel walked into the front and looked at Canyn.
"Boy, we meet again, you didn't expect it," Red-haired Forney shouted, his face full of pride.
"Your skin is itchy. It seems I didn't clean it up properly last time." Canyn glanced at Forney and said lightly.
"Boy, you still dare to be so arrogant, Brother Mansel!" The yellow-haired Gannicus was furious, but he didn't dare to move without Brother Mansel's order.
"Little brother, you are so brave, but they are my Mansel Zhu's people. If someone dares to touch my people, even the King of Heaven, I will dare to lesson him." Mansel had been observing Canyn and saw that Canyn had always been calm and calm. Without any panic, he instinctively sensed the difficulty.
Mansel gave the order, and the red-haired, the yellow-haired, and seven other gangsters behind him swung steel pipes and hit Canyn directly.
A cold glint flashed in Canyn’s eyes.
This was a community. How arrogant were these people who dared to do something like this here? Moreover, looking at the posture of these people, they were going to ruin him.
Looking at the fierce faces, just when the steel pipe in the hands of the red-haired Forney rushing at the front was about to be smashed down, Canyn moved.
As soon as he reached out, he directly grabbed the steel pipe that was thrown at him. With a direct pull, the red-haired Forney involuntarily accelerated towards Canyn, catching up with Canyn's flying kick. Then, they flew directly backward at a faster speed than they came, and all of a sudden they hit the people behind them. Four people were knocked to the ground.
Then Canyn didn't stop, moved his steps, and rushed forward, using his hands and feet to greet these gangsters.
Suddenly, there was a scream. These gangsters were not the enemies of Canyn.
Mansel’s eyes turned red when he saw his brothers being knocked down one by one. He roared and waved the steel pipe in his hand towards Canyn.
But it was a pity that although Mansel was stronger than his younger brother, he was not Canyn's opponent at all.
Even Mansel didn't see Canyn's movements clearly, and Canyn grabbed his wrist directly. Then he felt the world turned upside down and he fell heavily to the ground.
"We meet again." Canyn looked at Forney and Gannicus with a cold face.
Master once told Canyn that never be merciful when dealing with your enemies. Any mercilessness would lay landmines for one’s future.
Forney and Gannicus had pale faces. They had no idea that Canyn was so strong and that ten people on their side could be dealt with so easily. In their eyes, Canyn and the Devil could now be completely equated.
"Friend." Mansel struggled to stand up. He was the boss and had responsibilities on his shoulders.
"It's our fault this time. Please show your respect. We promise not to harass you again." Mansel understood that being able to bend and stretch was the only way to go in this world.
"How can I trust you?" Canyn said coldly.
"I will guarantee it with my life," Mansel said firmly.
If he didn't give in now, he was definitely a fool.
"Is your life precious?" Canyn’s face was still cold, and then he stretched out his hand without any hesitation, and a dark pill appeared in his hand.
"Take this and ask me for the antidote once every month." Canyn handed it to Mansel.
Mansel was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the case. Isn't this a plot that only appears in TV movies?
But no matter where the plot was, it seemed that whoever ate it, everything would be controlled by others.
Mansel hesitated.
"It seems that you are not worthy of my trust." A fierce look flashed in Canyn’s eyes.
