Chapter 54 - Hubby, Lets Go Home (2/2)
She knew that her husband would definitely spot her lie, but she also knew that he was the last person who'd dare to hurt her.
”Then, I'll send you back. It wouldn't be safe for you to go home with the kind of weather outside.”
Hero raised her hand and placed it on his arm, preparing to walk into the elevator together.
At this time, Madam Mo realized how bad the situation was. She hadn't expected that this country bumpkin was familiar with President Li to this extent. She couldn't allow President Li to leave the banquet this early, or else the whole Mo family would lose its face.
She gritted her teeth and followed the two, extending an arm so the doors wouldn't close.
”President Li, it turned out that you and Miss Jiang seem to know each other? Miss Jiang is also a close friend of our Jasper here. Since both of you came to celebrate Jasper's party, how about we go in and eat something?”
How could she allow President Li to leave like this… and because of this Luna Jiang? She wanted Luna Jiang to leave but not at the expense of President Li leaving because of her, too.
Because of his taller figure, Hero could only look down at the old woman with contempt. He was aware that she and Aiko Chen had tried to bully his woman, making her cry and submissive like this.
Luna stared at the old woman in disbelief. Wasn't Madam Mo the one who couldn't wait to see her go?
Let her in and stay? Even if Hero was with her, she didn't want to stay anymore!
”You must be hungry, Miss Jiang. It's already time for dinner. Should we get something to eat before I send you home?” Hero ignored Madam Mo's request and asked the woman beside him instead. He didn't have any meaning of going back to the banquet.
Madam Mo was starting to get anxious. She kept glancing towards Jasper who was staring at the two with confusion.
Yet, Jasper didn't move; even his face turned cold as he watched President Li hold his woman with familiarity.
In desperation, Madam Mo stepped inside the elevator, invading Luna's space. She pulled her free arm and tried to lead her back to the banquet hall, not noticing how Hero's face turned gloomy and frosty at the same time.
”Miss Jiang, if you don't feel good, you need to sit down and let me call a medic to help you. You don't need to leave with President Li. I'm sure he had yet to meet the other VIP guests tonight.” She already decided that she wouldn't just let President Li leave like this even if she had to endure seeing Luna Jiang's face tonight.
Seeing that this old woman wouldn't let them go easily, Hero could only resort to torturing them.
”Then, if you don't mind, Madam Mo… I like to keep Miss Jiang's company tonight. We need to catch up since we haven't seen each other for a long time.”
