Chapter 271 - The Sanders Family (2/2)

”That'll be tricky. Your son is such a busy man, I barely see him myself.” Lena put up an excused, knowing that the old man was probably using this method just to get close to Gary.

He smiled. ”My son busy just like me. Well, I hope my Gan and I can see each other soon. It's a pity though, I really thought I would have Miss. Shen as my daughter-in-law instead. Guessed I lost to the Li family again.” He chuckled.

'Again..?' Lena caught that. 'Gan... that must be Gary's birth name.'

”Well, I still have to go to meet someone, so please excuse me.”

Hannah still wanted to stay and talk to Lena but her father dragged her away with him. Her father does not talk about her big brother much, but she was always curious about him. If Lena knows her older brother.... then maybe she is more willing to tell her more about him.

Lena watched both of them leave and her eyes kept staring into space until Kris nudge her.

”Don't think too much about it.” Kris spoke softly to her.

Lena blinked and looked up at Kris. ”It's him... his father.”

”It doesn't matter the weather I say yes or no... you won't stop thinking about it anyway, right?”

”I am not going to ask any questions,” Lena said sternly. She already promised herself not to ask until Gary was willing to tell her himself.

”Are you sure?”

”....” Kris was not making it easier for Lena to hold back. ”Just one...”

Kris waited for her to ask her question.

”Is... is Gary in danger? Are we in danger? Should we send Gary far away?”

”That's more than one question.”

”I...” One question just kind of led to another one.

Kris held Lena's hand and look straight into her eyes. ”No to all of them. Well, I mean if you marry me then it's a no, if not then it might be a yes.”

”Shut up.” Lena slapped Kris on the arm and let out a chuckle.

”But really, no. So don't think about it too much. I don't have any more candies, I told you that already right?”

”Are you trying to make me drag you out again?”

”Yes.” Actually, Kris just wanted to make Lena not think too much about Chen Xu. ”I never knew that talking about business is so boring after a makeout session.”

”Shut up.” Lena slapped him again in the arm.

Kris didn't want Lena to drink to much tonight, so he dragged her to the ground with him instead. This time though, he told her that Lena can go around bragging her man around to people. That definitely made Lena's mind wander somewhere else than thinking about Gary and his dad.

While Kris was occupied with Lena, he did not notice the interactions between his mother and Chen Xu.

”I didn't think you would really show up.” Madam Li spoke to Chen Xu.

Hannah was tired of being dragged by her father so she left him. He was going to go get a drink before he was stopped by Madam Li.

”Well, I was generously invited. And I have kept my face hidden for too long.” Chen Xu replied.

”Don't think that I don't know what you are up to.”

”What am I up to? I am only reuniting my family. Didn't you do similar things to reunite your family too?” Chen Xu smiled at Madam Li.

”Chen Xu, don't you dare involve my son in your business.”

”She's such a beautiful woman. Sad my son couldn't have her instead.”

”You have ugly genes.”

Chen Xu chuckled. ”I heard that the Shen family has a son around my daughter's age.”

”Didn't I say you have ugly genes?”

”Well, my daughter is pretty. Look at her.” Chen Xu pointed at his cute daughter.

”Her personality is ugly.”

”That fake daughter of yours.... her personality is ugly.” He retorted back at Madam Li then left.
