Chapter 14 A Messy family
After sending K to the dessert shop, Kevin drove directly to the senior club. The traffic in the middle of the street was not very good, and there were many cars waiting at the intersection, so he did not notice that there was a taxi following him furtively.
Not long after Armani came back from DS Nightclub, she received a photo from K, in which it was the most advanced club in QM City. It was said that the club was a membership system. If one wanted to apply for a member, he had to have a certificate of assets of over 100 million. Although Armani hadn't taken over the company officially and the funds couldn't meet the requirements of a member of the club, but Armani thought Kevin only ran DS Nightclub, so he shouldn't be able to enter that club. 'Is he going to meet someone?'
Armani drove back to home and after she entered the living room, she saw Ben sitting on the sofa.
At this time, Edith and Jessie were sitting on the sofa too. Edith was peeling fruits for them, talking and laughing. It seemed that it was a good thing for them to make Jessie be the executive director of XU Group, and they were about to celebrate it.
Seeing Armani, Jessie smiled and said politely, "Sister, you're back. Where have you been? It's going to rain. I'm really worried about you. The road is slippery and you're in a bad mood."
"Don't worry. Your sister is back, isn't she?" Edith smiled kindly.
The servant, Aunt May, came up first and said with concern, "Miss Armani, porridge is being cooked in the kitchen. Have a bowl first."
Seeing that May didn't say a word for a long time and that she was so concerned about Armani as soon as Armani came back, Edith couldn't help but snort and said in a bad tone, "May, have you ironed the dress I told you? I want to wear it tonight."
May looked back and said in confusion, "Mrs. Edith, you didn't ask me to ironing the clothes. Isn't it usually Bonnie who is in charge of it?"
"Don't you know that she went home yesterday after asking for leave? Why don't you iron the clothes consciously? " Edith kept criticizing Bonnie.
Jessie held Edith's hand and said unhappily, "Mom, Ben is here to visit, why are you only busy training the servants? She is just a rough servant. It doesn't matter."
Edith snorted, "I just can't bear to see some people rely on the age to do something. They don't know what they should do, but are busy currying favor with others."
"Mother, do you think cooking porridge for me is a piece of cake?" Armani took off her sun protective shirt and handed it to May. Then she walked up to Edith and looked down at her.
With a smile on Edith's face, she answered, "Armani, what are you talking about? We are all worried about you. It's not easy for XU Group to be taken over by Jessie. I think you'd better not run around recently and stay at home in case of any bad news. "
Now facing Armani, Edith was not afraid at all.
Because her daughter, Jessie, was now the executive director of XU Group, which sounded temporary. But with the presence of Ben, the executive director position of her would only become more and more stable, and they had successfully expelled Armani from the group. Except for the part of the shares in her hands, Armani had nothing. After all, Jessie was going to marry Ben soon, she would be one of the Ming family members.
Edith had dreamed of waking up with a smile. Armani had always been the limelight of the family for the past years, which made Edith very dissatisfied. Everyone compared her with Armani's dead mother and criticized her. Now, she was really proud of Jessie.
Ben kept an eye on Armani from the first second she entered the door.
He knew that Armani went to DS Nightclub. Judging from her expression, Ben knew that she didn't get any satisfactory result from the boss.
Ben heard the boss of DS Nightclub was called Kevin, who was only twenty-four years old. His father was engaged in mining business, and his family was rich, but it was not a business of QM City. He only ran a night club here. It was said that this person was gentle and experienced. It was well-known that he was a good man, but he was very principled. Ben took the belt from him and must find an opportunity to apologize to him.
"When did you care about me so much?" Armani chuckled and patted on the shoulder of Edith, "Mother, don't be complacent. You think everyone else has become a fool, but you can talk less about blaming others. Otherwise, others will think that you have become the executive director with the help of Jessie, so you dare to breathe at home these years."
"Ha ha." There was a smile in Ben's eyes. Jessie looked at him aggrievedly, and then Ben showed an innocent expression.
Armani's words were getting sharper and sharper. It was really interesting that, the cute and clever white rabbit turned into a prickly hedgehog.
"Armani, we are discussing to hold a party for Jessie to celebrate her being the executive director and to communicate with other directors. What do you think?" Ben stopped laughing and looked at Armani.
With a smile on Jessie's face, she said, "Yeah, my dear sister know a lot of important clients. When they are invited, we need you to communicate with them."
"I'm busy." Armani turned around and went upstairs. She didn't want to talk to them anymore.
Seeing that Armani went upstairs, Edith said with dissatisfaction, "What's her attitude now? It's her own fault to discredit XU Group, but it seems that we all owe her." Then she looked at Ben with grievance and said, "Ben, you see, I and Jessie are not as good as a servant at home."
"Armani has lost her position as the executive director, so she is naturally in a bad mood. You don't have to take it seriously with her. The most important thing is about Jessie." Ben said lightly.
After Armani went back to her room, May brought her porridge. At the same time, she persuaded Armani in a gentle voice, "Miss Armani, please put up with it for the time being. Don't stand up for me. In fact, Mrs. Edith has made a lot of concessions to me because of you these years. Now that she is proud, she must want to show off."
Perhaps only May really cared about Armani in this family. Sally nodded and said, "Aunt May, I'm going to travel for relaxation recently. Pay more attention to yourself at home these days. If you feel wronged, just bear it. I'll give them a lesson when I come back."
May pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't need you to avenge me. I don't care about Edith. If you want to go out, you can have a good rest."
Armani directly booked the flight for the night. When Edith was busy preparing a table of delicious food for Ben, they saw Armani coming down with her luggage.
Jessie asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"None of your business." Carrying the bags in her hands, Armani didn't even bother to look at them.
It began to rain outside, she stood at the door. Ben took her luggage and stood beside her. "The weather was bad outside. Where are you going? I'll drive you there." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Ben said firmly.
In the past, he always looked gentle and harmless in front of Armani and always asked for her advice on everything. If it was in the past, he would only take her luggage and say, "Honey, where are you going? It's raining outside. Let me drive you."
Compared with now, he has changed a lot.
