Dinah Chen had no other option but to call Victor Chu, but she had full respect for Victor’s decision, and if Victor didn’t want to go, she would not force him, because her sister had so much prejudice against him and it would be so awkward if Carl Guo and Victor were to dine together.
Surprisingly, Victor agreed without any hesitation.
Victor understood it perfectly that it would be useless to hide behind, and it was time to make everything clear to everyone. He did not do anything shameful, and he is afraid of nobody.
He was fully prepared for everything before he said what he said at the hall of Chen Family. Daisy Chen had no feelings for him, and her insults to him further proved that the relationship between them should be severed.
If he kept avoiding them, they would come under the impression that he was afraid to face the truth.
Victor is highly sentimental, but he is not irresolute.
Only three people were at Chen Family’s home: Daisy Chen, and her mother and father.
“Since the incident occurred at your grandmother’s seventieth birthday, our family decided to make him stay at our home for another couple of days because we don’t want other people to talk, and to judge. And soon, the three years’ engagement will come to an end and then kicking him out would be perfectly justifiable.”
“Now your little sister is in charge of the project, which is very profitable, and your boyfriend’s family has resumed the cooperation with Pearl Group. Everything is moving towards a good direction. And you, Daisy, you should stop complaining. Your sister is so foolish that she doesn’t know how to spend money, and in the end, all the money will be our family’s.”
“And when the time is good, you can take that position and be the manager of the project. Our family combines Guo Family. Maybe we can also be one of the top richest people in Jingan District.” Shouguo Chen was living in the dream he made up.
“Yes. Daisy you know we love you the most. Your sister is just not the kind of person to achieve something grand, so we will not leave this family to her to manage. You need to take it easy, and everything will turn around slowly.” Yulan Bai knew her daughter was in a bad mood, and she tried to comfort her .
“I have thought this through. We can take this opportunity and ask them to dinner. And then I’ll tell them what is going on between me, Victor and Carl. Or people will seriously believe that I’ll marry that stupid loser.” Daisy raised her head arrogantly.
The next day, Daisy and Carl booked a separate room at Seven Flavor Restaurant.
It is not cheap to eat at Seven Flavor Restaurant. It is, after all, a very famous restaurant at Jingan District. Each person will pay an average of near a thousand dollars for a meal, and so a meal will cost thousands of dollars in total. Sometimes, a meal can cost up to ten thousand dollars if the diners use a separate room and order some alcohol.
Daisy picked this place for a reason. She wanted Victor to see the difference, and she wanted to crush Victor with her superiority. And also, she wanted her classmates and friends to know that she is doing fine.
Soon a few classmates of Carl’s arrived and took some upper seats. And Carl introduced: “ These are my buddies. Jim Wang, Bob Zhao, and Sam Wei. You know them.”
Soon some good friends of Daisy’s also walked in the room and Daisy introduced: “Jane Wu and Mei Liu. You can get to know each other and we will come out in the future. If you find anyone attractive, you can ask for her wechat and ask her out. My sisters are all single.” Daisy winked.
“Who else is coming? Daisy, Who else did you invite? Why are there two extra seats?” Jane Wu looked at the lower seats.
“Oh, I think you already guessed. They are my sister Dinah and Victor.” Daisy said.
“Your fiance?” Jane was shocked.
Everyone knew Daisy hated Victor’s guts and they didn’t understand why she invite him over.
“Nonsense. Now I don’t have anything to do with him. That man was once an orphan and my grandmother kept him out of sympathy. But he thinks too much of himself and now he wants to marry me! What a crazy daydreamer.”
“Now Carl is my boyfriend. He professed his love for me and I love him back.” Daisy explained hurriedly.
“I see......You should have got rid of him earlier. He is such a shame.” Jane said.
“Sh....” Mei Liu positioned her finger in front of her lips, and winked at them.
Everyone one looked at the door, and found Victor and Dinah standing there.
“So everyone is here. Then take your seats, and after the dinner, someone needs to know what he is supposed to do. I don’t want to mention his name.” Daisy said in a funny voice.
Victor was expressionless, and naturally he was seated st the lower seats with Dinah.
“Victor, normally you are so poor that you find some takeout expensive. Today I invite you to the Seven Flavor Restaurant, and this is also the end of our relationship. A few days ago you were quite tough and you showed us your attitude, which also put an early end to our engagement. You can still stay at our place these days, but I recommend you that you should find yourself a room soon or you should not blame me if I kick you out.”
“Why don’t you live in a dorm. You can improve your life with the money you saved.” Carl smiled.
“What a good idea. Carl you are so considerate. Victor, say thank you to Carl.” Daisy held Carl’s arm tenderly.
“Daisy, I....”
“Do you think it is a good idea to address her as ‘Daisy’? Is she still your fiancee?” Carl stopped Victor directly.
“Fine. Daisy Chen. Today I came here also out of the purpose of solving the problem between you and me. I know I made a lot of trouble for you during the three years and anyway, the three years is also coming to an end so you are free and I will never bother you again.”
He is man. He has his own pride. And obviously he is utterly disappointed in this woman.
“You do have a very good judgement.”Carl raised up his thumb.
The waitress began to serve the food.
The dishes served in the Seven Flavor Restaurant are rarely seen. And they also look beautiful. With a candle positioned in the middle of the table, the atmosphere was so romantic that some people found themselves a little bit dizzy in a short while.
“Carl, I heard your family stopped cooperating with Pearl Group. Do you still do the medicine agency?” Jim Wang asked.
“To be honest with you guys, thanks to Daisy, we have resumed our relationship with the Pearl Group. So this meal is also an celebratory dinner. Everyone, eat abundantly! It’s all on me.” Carl was so happy when he talked about this that a big smile spread across his face.
When his father learned about it, he was also extremely happy that he gave him tens of thousands dollars as his pocket money.
Carl was also gonna take over his family business step by step, and by then, he is really going to be a rich man.
At that time, Dinah, the woman who made the new cooperation possible, ate her dinner silently. She didn’t want to take any credit.
Victor looked at Dinah and found her silent, and he gave out a sigh.
Only Victor and Dinah were able to make the Pearl Group change their decision. And because of Victor, many people in the Pearl Group got to know Dinah. Dinah has a soft heart, and she never hesitated to offer help as long as her sister asked. What a silly girl.
Then Carl’s phone rang. He picked it up and said: “Jun Wang? I’m at the Seven Flavor Restaurant. Yeah, yeah, we are eating now. Come over and let’s have a drink together.”
He hanged it up, and explained to Daisy: “It’s a friend I made back in high school.He came back from abroad. I forgot about it because I was busy with this dinner. I’ll introduce him later. He studied abroad and single ladies you should take the chance.”
In a while, a young man arrived with a bag on his back. He said something in a foreign language and then said hi to everyone. Then he found there was no seat left. All nine seats were taken and there wasn’t even enough space to add another seat.
Obviously Carl and Daisy found it rather awkward.
“Victor, get up! Give your seat to my brother Jun Wang!” Carl looked around and then shouted at Victor, who was eating his dinner.
“This poor devil. It seems like he has not eaten in ten years. He kept eating without saying anything and now he should be full.” Bob Zhao said sarcastically.
“Victor, you should be full now. Give your seat to Jun Wang. If you are not full, you can eat beside. I’ll ask the waitress to get you a chair.” Daisy said.
They wanted Victor to eat standing or sitting out of the table. Normally people will ask the next generations to eat like this but it is a huge disrespect if a peer is asked to eat in this way. Victor’s face darkened.
