chapter 27 : Tiandu City Qi Family

Sophia Scott was resting at home when her phone suddenly vibrated. She picked it up and saw that the caller ID was Quinlan Family’s young master. For a moment, her face looked unsightly. After some time, she answered the phone. When the call was connected, a voice came from the other side, "Sophia, why are you unwilling to answer my call after not seeing each other for so long?" Sophia Scott took a deep breath. Suppressing the unhappiness in her heart, she forced out a smile, "Look at what you said, how could it be possible? Why did you come to the Eastern Sea City when things are going well in Tromaville City?" The man opposite smiled and said, "Of course I came to see you. Don't forget that we are engaged and you are my fiancée!" This man was Gabriel Quinlan, a young master from the Quinlan Family in Tromaville City. Sophia Scott's identity is also not simple. She was a rich lady from the Scott Family in Tromaville City. When the two of them were young, the elders of the two families made an engagement between them. After Sophia Scott grew up, she gradually learned what an arranged marriage was, she felt disgusted. Gabriel Quinlan was arrogant, and was way more than that. He always looked like he didn't put anyone in his eyes, which made Sophia Scott very unhappy. In order to avoid the engagement, she chose to study abroad. Originally, her plan was to stay abroad and not come back, but her family kept putting pressure on her, so she had no choice but to return to her hometown. Coming back, she did not go back to Tromaville City. Instead, she came to Eastern Sea City, and went to work in Eastern Sea Hospital. Although she knew that one day she would meet Gabriel Quinlan again, she didn't expect that day to come so quickly. Gabriel Quinlan said joyfully, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I wish to see you to discuss our marriage. What do you think?" Sophia Scott was silent for a while before saying, "Would it be too early? How about some other time?" Gabriel Quinlan frowned, and there was a trace of unhappiness in his eyes, but it passed quickly, and soon returned to normal. He then said, "It's okay. Since you just came back, there are still many things you are not used to. We’ll talk about it someday, but tomorrow, would you like to accompany me to a banquet?” "Banquet?" Sophia Scott was confused. "Yes," Gabriel Quinlan said proudly, “The Quinlan Family is going to open a branch in Eastern Sea City, so we have to pay a visit to the heads of the major families in Eastern Sea City. I will serve as the chairman and president of this branch. When the time comes , we no longer need to live in two places, and we can see each other every day!" Hearing the news, Sophia Scott felt mixed emotions deep in her heart. However, Gabriel Quinlan on the other end of the phone didn't sense it. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, "Okay, I won't disturb your rest. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll call you then!" After saying this, Gabriel Quinlan hung up the phone. On the other end of the phone, Sophia Scott had a crystal teardrop falling from the corner of her eye. Could it be that she could not escape this matter after all? … Early the next morning, Benjamin was still sleeping in bed when he heard a knock on the door. "Benjamin, get up quickly! Elizabeth is here!" It was Charlotte Collins who knocked on the door. Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder. What was wrong with the Harrison Family's young miss? She visited him every day! Could it be that she had a crush on him? He hurriedly got up, picked up his pajamas and put them on haphazardly, before going out to meet his guest. When Benjamin saw Elizabeth wearing a beautiful white evening dress, he thought she was going to attend a grand banquet. He couldn't help being stunned, "Elizabeth, whose wedding are you going to attend?" Elizabeth pursed her lips and chuckled, before saying snappishly, "I can wear evening clothes even if it’s not for attending weddings! By the way, there is a grand banquet today, and I don't have a male partner, so I came to invite you!" "Banquet?" Benjamin was confused and asked puzzledly, "What banquet?" "A young master from a big family came to Tromaville City and invited my father to attend. It is not easy to attend such a banquet. Each person who receives the invitation can only bring two family members!" Elizabeth said proudly, "I persuaded my father to give you one of the quotas!" "Oh, that's it!" Benjamin yawned. He was not interested in this kind of banquet at all. Elizabeth hurriedly said, "Why are you still standing there? Change your clothes quickly and put on the clothes you bought yesterday. Don't embarrass me!" Benjamin waved his hand, "No, I'd better not waste this quota. It's boring if I just go there to eat and drink!" Charlotte Collins on the side spoke snappishly, "You kid! Elizabeth comes to invite you, and you dare to talk like this? Now go take a shower and change clothes!" "Mom..." Benjamin couldn't laugh or cry. He could feel that his mother already regarded Elizabeth as her future daughter-in-law. "Listen to me and go quickly!" Charlotte Collins said in a commanding tone. In desperation, Benjamin had to get up and go take a shower and change clothes. Seeing this scene, Elizabeth felt very happy. It seemed that she was right to please Charlotte Collins a few days ago. After all, Benjamin listened to his mother's words. As long as Charlotte Collins accepted her, half of her and Benjamin's affairs would be settled. After Benjamin took a shower, he changed clothes and walked out, which Elizabeth's eyes lit up. Sure enough, clothes make the man, and Benjamin’s outfit did look delicate and elegant. When he put on a suit, his temperament came out immediately. Those who didn't know him would have thought that he was a young master from a noble family. Seeing Elizabeth's sparkling eyes, Benjamin’s nose scrunched, "Are they that beautiful?" "Of course!" Elizabeth immediately felt that her words were not reserved, and immediately added, "Don't be flatter. I'm not talking about you, but the suit! I'm really discerning, as this suit is so beautiful!" Benjamin laughed out loud as he felt Elizabeth was really cute. Afterwards, the two drove to the Eastern Sea Grand Hotel. At this time, there were a dazzling array of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel. All family patriarchs in the entire Eastern Sea City came. They gathered in groups chatting, and the scene was very lively. Among the crowd was Jacob Foster. Of course, the Foster Family was not qualified to participate in such a banquet. Jacob Foster asked his old friend, the patriarch of a second-rate family, to get a place. Looking at the big bosses coming and going, Jacob Foster was very excited. He must perform well at the banquet and get to know more big bosses. Maybe one of the big bosses will support him and the Feng Family will become prosperous. At this time, a red Porsche 911 parked in the parking space, and then a pair of beautiful couples got out of the car. It was none other than Benjamin and Elizabeth. Elizabeth held Benjamin's arm, feeling particularly close, with a smile on her face. Benjamin looked around. This was his first time attending such a banquet.
