Chapter 125 – Finally Came (2/2)

Such a polite and aristocratic family caused Lei Yu to feel a bit uncomfortable. Pointing to Ai Er who was standing behind him, “this is Ai Er, she’s my… fiance.”

Lei Yu’s introduction made Ai Er’s heart feel very sweet. She quickly bowed slightly and said: “How do you do.”

When the old woman returned home, she told her son everything about her situation and how she encountered Lei Yu. Not only was he going to appropriately avenge those that had harmed his mother, he also was extremely grateful towards Lei Yu. Hawes’s mother was the soul of the entire family and with Lei Yu’s assistance; the whole family naturally treated Lei Yu as a benefactor.

Lei Yu’s arrival had suddenly caused a huge commotion in the Burlinder family. A large banquet was held in his honor which Lei Yu was not too used to. But as a guest, he should comply with the wishes of the host and just play along with their customs.

“Benefactor, is there something you need to deal with from your trip to the U.S.?” Asked Hawes.

Lei Yu smiled and said: “Mr. Hawes, you are too polite, please just call me Lei Yu. There is indeed something I have to deal with and I’ll be staying in the U.S. for a while before I can leave.”

“If there’s anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”

Lei Yu gratefully smiled. How could he mention the situation he was dealing with to him? If he was to accidentally bring disaster to this family that just experienced a family reunion, then wouldn’t Lei Yu’s decision for them to return a favor turn into a calamity?

“I appreciate your kind offer, I will.”

The feast was indeed very luxurious. Lei Yu and Ai Er ate their fill to the point that they couldn’t stop burping.

Agreeing to the host’s request, Lei Yu and Ai Er spent the night in Mr. Hawes’ home. But in his heart, he was still worrying about Hu Jiong’s safety. Bianca still had not contacted him which made him feel uneasy.

“Brother Yu, what’s wrong with you? Are you worried for your friend?” Ai Er asked as she saw Lei Yu’s facial expression.

*Sigh* “That’s right; there’s still no news from Bianca so I don’t know how Hu Jiong is doing right now.”

Since there weren’t any news, worrying was of no use. Lei Yu held onto Ai Er’s hand while they strolled along the huge estate. Staring up into the sky and seeing the stars, the scene looked like a peaceful and serene painting.

“There are really a lot of coincidences in this world. Who would have thought the old woman you saved in the Kou country would actually be a member of a wealthy aristocratic family! But I wonder what they do to have so much money.” Mumbled Ai Er as she playfully strolled around.

“I didn’t expect this either. Anyway, it’s not safe out there and I believe no one should know our destination here. I really don’t want to bring any trouble to this family… Okay, shall we head back in and rest early?” Lei Yu gently touched Ai Er’s head and the latter nodded in agreement.

Complying with Ai Er’s request, Lei Yu and her had separate rooms. Ai Er returned to her room first while Lei Yu sat down at the receiving hall. Mr. Hawes then handed Lei Yu a glass of red wine.

“Mr. Hawes, this ring that you and I possess, is there a story behind it?” Lei Yu was really interested in this matter since the ring was capable for storing things inside it.

Hawes replied: “The ring does in fact have a story behind it but I’m not too clear on the details. Perhaps the only person that knows about it would be my mother.”

Lei Yu’s brow went up, “Mr. Hawes, can I take a look at your ring?”
