Chapter 350 Oath your ass! (2/2)
”Me too. I received an invitation last night and just saw it the next morning. If only Lexi and Mr. Lu are not important friends, I wouldn't have to cancel my plans for the day.” After sipping his glass of champagne, Arnold Shen explained his side of the story.
Fortunately, he was already retired and his schedule wasn't as busy as before. Therefore, his appointments that day weren't as important as this magical event for the two. Moreover, he owed Ethan Lu for saving the finances back on the Taming Heart's set after the dilemma about the two investors withdraw their investments. So, it was natural for him to attend.
”Aside from Auntie and Uncle, I guess everyone here tonight just received the invitations last night…” Under his breath, Elliot Gong nodded in understanding as he too just received the invitation last night.
Elliot Gong was already in the airport at that time as he had a flight to country j but just as it was the time of his departure, he received an official invitation about the proposal plan. Actually, Elliot Gong shouldn't attend as he had to compromise a shoot the next day for his next film. Alas, just as the official invitation was sent, Ethan Lu personally sent him a message, saying:
”You must attend for your friend. Your plans for tomorrow were already canceled you know.” Therefore, after that overbearing message, how could he refuse? Therefore, Elliot Gong considered it that he was forced to attend.
Well, it was not like he was complaining as he knew that his other friends wouldn't be able to come. After all, Morris Liu's attendance needed some miracle and Chris Yu as well. Not to mention, Kevin Woo who was now under pressure while salvaging their company after Ethan Lu's suppression.
”Aha!” after thinking for a minute, Elliot Gong realized something which made him express his thought loudly, catching the attention of the people around the table, including the nearby ones. ”That sneaky fox! If I am correct, he just invited us to lessen the possibility that Lexi would refuse!”
”Haa?” Upon hearing his last remarks, Lexi and everyone else tilted their heads to the side with knitted brows and creased forehead.
”Lexi, your fiance is just making sure that you'd say yes and inviting everyone— there's no way you would refuse in front of so many people, right?” In a matter of fact tone, Elliot Gong spat through his gritted teeth.
'Oath your ass! He just didn't want to get rejected. What a sneaky plan he's got there!' Inside his mind, for some reason, Elliot Gong felt cheated again upon realizing this possibility.
Well, he wasn't entirely wrong because Ethan Lu also thought about it. Inviting her friends over to give his oath to cherish her and to get the certain yes— that's two birds with one stone.
