Chapter 723 Why Are You Following Me

Jane! What a silly name!
"Well, if you know me, why don't you want to talk to me?" This boy was so impolite! He was more annoying than Sven.
Daniel wrinkled his brow, looking like his father. "I'm ignoring you!"
He descended from the sofa and left the booth.
'Ignoring me?' Clinching her fists, Jane hurried along after him.
"Where are you two going?" asked Ella curiously.
Daniel turned back to reply, "Aunt, I'll come back soon."
"So will I, mommy." echoed Jane.
"Take good care of little Jane, Daniel, " said Lola to her son while shelling the nuts.
Daniel seemed to want to say something, but he eventually buried it down with the rest of his moldering resentments. He nodded and then walked out in a hurry.
He kept walking along the lotus pond, totally ignoring Jane who was never far behind him with some complaint or another.
He walked so fast that it took Jane great effort on her tiny legs to follow him.
She complained while trotting. "Daniel Si. Why are you so mean?"
"If I'm so mean, then why are you following me? You idiot!" Daniel stopped all of a sudden, and Jane hurtled into him.
She bounced off him, waving her arms wildly as she fell backwards. She came down with a splash into the lotus pond.
"Ah! Help!"
She punched a hole through the water when she broke through, soaking her clothes through.
Thankfully, the water was shallow. So Daniel just stood aside, refusing to help her.
Two waitresses hoisted Jane out of water in a panic. They wrung out her light purple sweater and skirt as best they could.
Jane stared at Daniel with a shiver. She shook off the waitresses, and pounced on Daniel, biting his arm like a feral dog.
His arm was exposed because it was warm inside of the hotel and a T-shirt was enough to keep him warm. She dug her teeth into his flesh, trying to leave an ineradicable mark. Though Daniel were suffering great pain, he bore it without hitting her back.
Finally, Jane let all her anger drain out of her body. "Daniel Si, I wil
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
Viola. "Grandma, happy new year. We wish you all the best this year!"
Samuel threw a sideways glance at his two kids. Their good wishes to Viola seemed to be the result of what they had just been discussing.
The three elders also gave the children good tidings.
Viola pointed at the red envelope. "My good kids, take good care of it."
They swiped through the contents of the envelope, overjoyed. "Thank you, grandma! Oh thank you, thank you!"
Jane even kissed Viola on her cheek. "Grandma, it's so nice of you!"
Viola couldn't have been more pleased with this response.
Samuel sat down close to Melody, adjusting the knots of his cuff. The two kids rushed to greet him. "Good morning, daddy! Happy new year, daddy!"
"The same to you." said Samuel lightly.
Two kids looked at each other, wondering whether their father remembered his promise.
"Daddy, you know...last night...what you said, " muttered Jerry tentatively.
Samuel pretended to remember it.
"Ah yes. I forget to prepare the money, " teased Samuel.
Hearing this, Jerry felt shortchanged.
Jerry and Jane's ravenous smile turned bitter. All of a sudden, Jerry took out a voice recorder. "Daddy, I have it recorded!"
Jerry recollected that his father had told him, "Always keep evidence." After all, lip service was invalid, unless there was a record.
