Chapter 33 Are You Afraid You Don’t Have a Son-in-law
"What do you want to say? Why keep looking at me?" Seeing Joey staring straight at her, Lily feels
strange and gives her a slap. “Here we are!"
Joey purses her lips, "Don't slap me!"
She is almost silly.
Lily wants to buy some clothes for her mother first. After entering the store, Joey, who usually feels
tired when doing other things, takes the initiative to help mom choose clothes, and pays for it.
"Sister, I will pay for it. I have money!"
"..."
Then they go to the underground to buy food, and then go back home.
Lily’s mother Daisy still lives in the old community where she used to raise her children. It takes an hour
to drive to the city center. Lily wants to change a house for her many times, but Daisy just doesn’t want
it and says she loves here.
When they arrive at home, Daisy goes to the kitchen. Joey and Lily chat while watching TV. After a few
minutes, Joey reveals her intention, "Sister, are you free this Saturday night?"
"Why are you so good! What do you want to do?" Lily throws the pillow on her, and smiles with her lips,
"You finally reveal your intention. Why?"
Joey sits beside her and pleases, "There is a big reception in the Goose Villa on Saturday night, and
many foreign famous guides will attend. Sister, please accompany me to there!"
Lily refuses, "No, I'm not interested in the party."
If it is to discuss cooperation that she has to go, otherwise, she does not like that occasion.
"Sister, my good sister." Joey is pleasing her.” There is a director whom I like very much. His movie is
recruiting Chinese actresses. I want to talk to him. What if I can get it? But you know, my English is so
poor, so I want you to be my temporary translator."
Lily shots her a glance and says hatefully, "Don’t you feel it’s a shame that when your sister is a
translator, and your English is so poos? Even the kids in primary school children speaks better than
you!"
"Oh, different strokes for different folks. Look, sister, you are suitable as an interpreter, and I like to be
an actress." Joey is very smart and says, “Sister, if you want to be an actress, maybe you are not as
good as me!"
Lily is speechless by what she says.
With Joey's begging, Lily agrees. After all, Joey is her sister. She finally has some achievements in the
entertainment circle, how can Lily not help her?
"Sister, you're so nice!" Joey kisses Lily, and takes a selfie with her happily. Lily couldn't bear it and
slaps her away.
When Daisy has prepared for a good meal and asks them to come to dinner, Lily gets up and happens
to see the phone. She looks at the address "brother-in-law" and frowns.
"Joey, did you friend Jason?" Lily asks Joey, and picks up her cell phone. Joey has only a sister, her
brother-in-law is no one but Jason.
Joey sees Lily holding her cell phone, she hurries over and snatch it. She rolls her eyes and says,
"Why should I friend him? Anyway, you are divorced."
"I just saw a man named brother-in-law sending you message."
"That's my stylist!" Joey says calmly, “His name is called the brother-in-law, and I forget to change into
his name. Okay, Lily, let's have dinner first."
Lily really believes her explanation.
The ID names of the young people are indeed weird. A colleague in her company is also called Dad.
Lily hasn't eaten the dish cooked by her mom for three months, so she has eaten an extra bowl. Joey is
always a picky eater. Lily reminds her of the reception, staring at her to finish eating a bowl of rice.
A picky eater lacks of discipline! Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Lily still has something to do, and she has to go back to the company in the afternoon. And there is an
advertisement waiting for Joey. Daisy puts some fungus porridge in a thermos for them to bring back to
work.
"Mom, don't be a nanny for others in the future." Before leaving, Lily says to Daisy, "Tell me if you don’t
have money. I can provide for you."
Daisy nods, "I know. I will help the library in the future."
Lily breathes a sigh of relief, “It would be great if you do so. You can go and dance with your friends if
you are bored. By the way, I’ve divorced Jason. Don’t go to his house anymore."
"Aren't you sweet? Why did you get divorced?" Daisy doesn’t respond to it for a while, "Then, what
should you do after you get divorced? Who will be with you?"
Lily is speechless.
"Mom, you don't understand. It is a right decision Lily divorces Jason. It will be miserable to spend the
life with that kind of man!" Joey interjects, “Sister is so good, and there are many men who love her.
Are you afraid you don’t have a son-in-law in the future?"
"But I think Jason is quite good. Every time he comes, he will greet me and bring me something." Daisy
is still nagging.
Joey rolls her eyes and drags Lily away.
Joey says, "Sister, don't tell mom about this. She doesn't understand anything! If she's a little self, she
won't be so selfish when she divorced my dad and don't get the money."
"She's your mother even if she's silly." Lily grabs her ears and tares at her, "Don’t yell at your mom in
the future. If you have anything to say, say it privately, understand?"
"Yes!"
Joey and Lily share the same way. They take the same taxi. When Joey arrives, she says that she will
ask someone to bring their dresses over.
Lily says, "Don't waste money. I have a dress."
"It's okay. It is given the sponsors anyway!" Joey wave her hand and quickly enters the building.
Lily smiles helplessly.
Although she always thinks that Joey is a little stupid, born into a humble family but living a luxury life,
Joey is filial and doesn’t lost herself after she get involved in the entertainment circle like other girls.
When Lily returns to the company, she happens to meet David who comes to the company.
"David." Lily greets him and sees some documents in his hand, "You have something to deal with in the
company?"
"Well, Mr. Louis is handling things in the company."
Lily is somewhat curious.
This is not the first time she has seen Louis in the company, but Louis seldom cares about the affairs of
the domestic company, which is usually handled by several deputy directors. What happens to the
company?
David enters the special elevator and sees Lily still waiting for the elevator, and he presses to open the
door.
"Miss Lily, come in."
"Okay, thank you." Lily walks in. In addition to the high-level managers, the staff of the translation
department and planning department can also take the elevator. However, they generally don’t share
the same elevator with high-level staff.
Lily and David haven't seen each other three times and they seldom talk, so Lily is surprised that David
will greet her.
What's wrong?
Lily takes a look at the thermos in her hand, thinks about something, and then hands it to David, "I
heard that Mr. Louis likes dessert. Just give it to Mr. Louis. It’s my give for him for thanking him help
me."
If it weren’t for Louis, Lucy might just be demoted.
David does not ask anything, and takes it, "Thank you, Miss Lily, I will tell Mr. Louis."
"You're welcome."
After sending Lily to the translation department, David goes straight to the top floor, holding the
insulated bottle in one hand and he documents in the other, and steps into the president's office.
"Shit!"
When David just steps into the office, a pile of paper smashes on the floor. Louis stands akimbo in front
of the French window, his face gloomy.
The temperature in the office is comfortable, but it makes people feel like falling into an ice cellar.
David says nothing, closes the door silently, picks up the paper on the floor, and places it on the
mahogany desk with the things in his hand.
"Everyone can't wait to see them losing face, but they dare to make shameful things public." Louis is
very irritable and pulls his tie around, "Do they think I will turn a blind eye to it?!"
"In the past few years, you have focused on expanding overseas markets. There is no one in the
company to take over the things, so they don’t fear anything." David says, "Mr. Jason is naive and
stupid"
Louis sneers, "He still has a face to visit the elders. He is such an unambitious man. If not for Lucy, he
wouldn't be the deputy general manager."
"Jason's father died early. He and his mother have nothing to long for." David pauses and continues,
"I'm afraid that someone will go for him, even though you are cousins, you share the same surname
‘Smith’."
Louis squeezes his eyebrows and asks, "Did he divorce Lily?"
David nods, "Mr. Jason told me that he has signed the divorce letter. But it is strange as he did not
agree to sign the divorce letter two days ago, and wanted to sue Miss Lily, and then he signed again."
"It would be fine it he signed it." Louis is not interested in how they divorced. “By the way, you booked a
ticket for Jason to let him stay in the company in Shetland North, and don't let him run around."
"Okay, I'll do it later." David responds and says, "Mr. Louis, President Gosse will hold a reception at
Goose Villa on Saturday. He wants you to go with Miss Chloe."
Reception?
Louis knows Mr. Gosse’s mind when he thinks about it. He hesitates for a moment, but he still agrees,
"Tell President Gosse that I will go with Chloe, and call the person in charge of CHANEL for the latest
set of couture."
"Yes."
Probably he talks a lot, Louis feels his mouth is a little dry, Louis wants to drink coffee, but he sees a
thermos on the table, and jokingly asks, "What? Did you make me the wolfberry to keep me healthy?"
