Chapter 384 A Little Embarrassed
"Be quiet." Jackson glared at her and said, "You should also be responsible. You had known their relationship, but have kept it from us. I'll teach you a lesson later!"
"Grandpa.… Lily is not like what you said. She is a good person with good taste. She can do business, invest and cook. And she taught Eric how to do many things. She..."
"Shut up!" Jackson interrupted her, "Who told you? You have no right to speak here!"
"I..."
Eric gestured for her to stop, "Grandpa, believe it or not, what she said is true. If I hadn't met a girl in my life, I wouldn't have today. Maybe I would have a lazy day, and I wouldn't have nodded to agree when my brother asked me to take over your business back to G city. We have experienced life and death together. We know each other better."
"If she is as good as you said, why her parents let her go and let you live alone? Don't they care about her reputation? Aren't you afraid that others will stab you in the back?" Jackson squinted slightly.
Hearing what he said, Eric explained, "I have promised her parents that I will give her a lifetime of glory ten years later, and then I will touch her. I won't touch her before I can protect her well and give her a stable residence."
Jackson subconsciously raised his eyebrows, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
However, Amanda said, "Eric, think it over. That girl has been disfigured. The scar on her face is so long. If it can't be healed, don't you think you will be tired of it in the future?"
She asked a very realistic question. When men looked at women, most of them were visual effects. If a woman was beautiful, they were willing to look at her a few more times, and would even take the initiative to pursue her. On the contrary, if one saw a disfigured woman with a scar on her face, it would
be enough to have a look. Very few people would take a second look, let alone actively pursue such a thing.
"Grandma, I will never be annoyed with her. Harry said that the scars on her face can be removed and he made the medicine himself. Besides, the girl also said that his medicine has a good effect. I always believe in Harry." Eric looked at Amanda and replied.
At this time, Sherry said again, "By the way, brother, how did the scar on Lily's face come from? I remember that when I left last time, her face was fine. I wanted to ask her yesterday, but I couldn't ask her in front of so many people."
Eric turned to her and said, "It's Frank."
"He hurt Lily?" Her previous timidity and fear were completely forgotten, and she raised her voice unconsciously. "How could he be like this! He framed Lily like that before, and now he hurt her face. Such a man deserved to die! Bastard, let me think about how to kill him!"
"Sherry!" Carry immediately stopped her daughter. Although she didn't raise her as a girl in usual, it was a little embarrassing for her to say these words so violently. More importantly, it would make Jackson angry.
"Enough!"
Sure enough…
Jackson lost his temper and glared at her, "You are a girl. Can you speak like a girl? You always act like a tomboy."
"Grandpa, please don't… Don't be angry." Blinking her eyes, she timidly glanced at Jackson and said, "I'm really pissed off. You don't know how well Lily treats me. Although she is only one year older than
me, she knows much more than me. When I was here, she took good care of me, cooked for me, played with me, and sometimes I did something wrong..."
Speaking of this, she turned to look at Eric subconsciously. "I make Eric angry. She help me say something."
Eric knew what she was talking about. Last time, she posted the photos of Dale and Simon hanging out on the Internet.
"Is this how she treats you? You are Eric's cousin. If she doesn't treat you well, how can Eric treat her well?" Jackson asked.
"Grandpa, how can you think so?" She felt helpless. Her grandfather had gone through a lot of things. No matter what she said, it didn't make sense!
Betty and Carry didn't know what to say. They only met Lily once yesterday and didn't know her well. Even Sherry had told them everything about her and what had happened between her and Eric. They had a good impression of this little girl.
But now their father was in a fit of anger, so they didn't know what to say. The two sisters looked at each other and shook their heads invisibly, indicating that they'd better not say anything.
Carry was smart. Although she couldn't help, she took out her phone and sent a message secretly.
Of course, Betty, who was sitting next to her, saw her action and asked with her eyes, "Who sent it to?"
After being friends for decades, they still had a little tacit understanding. Carry immediately understood the meaning of her eyes, moved her lips and said silently, "Sister."
Betty frowned and felt relieved in a moment. She was afraid that only she could say a few words at this time. The girl named Lily was Eric's fiancee and they lived together. As his mother, she must have
known and agreed.
The two sisters were playing tricks here, while Eric and Jackson were still talking.
Eric said, "Grandpa, let me tell you. You seldom come to the Guan city. This is probably the first time you come here. A lot of things have happened here before. For example, last year, the fraud case of AF Company, we thought it was true. Almost everyone was preparing to cooperate with him and develop their business abroad. It was a girl who told me that we couldn't believe it. At that time, we didn't believe her words, including Noble. We all thought that how could a big international company like it lie. And she also knew that we wouldn't believe without evidence, so she took the initiative to ask us to find someone to investigate secretly. Therefore, we found Hailey. Hailey was a detective, and she was very good at investigating cases. Just as it was about to succeed, Hailey found evidence to prove that it was indeed a fraud that had been plotted for a long time."
Jackson had heard of it, but he saw it on the news. It was a big news at that time, but he didn't expect that it was a little girl who saw through the lie. Was she really insightful?
Seeing that his grandfather didn't say a word, Eric continued, "She has also predicted the reconstruction of the Guan city. She has already known which city it is in, how the government will transform it, and what the government will develop. When she said that, we were suspicious, but after the document above, it turned out that what she said was right. Grandpa, I'm not defending her. My brother knows all these things, and he's involved. With her reminder, before the documents of the planning of the Guan city were written down, brother had also bought several pieces of land. All the businessmen knew that if the documents were written down, the price of the land would definitely rise. How many girls at her age would think of this? How could she have such an eye?"
Jackson was stunned by his words. At the same time, Amanda also didn't expect that the little girl who was not favored by them had such unique insight.
On the other side, the two women, Betty and Carry, became even more curious about Lily when they heard these words. Their favorable impression of her had been rising. They had lived for decades, but they were no match for this little girl!
As a smart girl, when she heard this, she rolled her eyes and said in a hurry, "Yes, you're right. Lily is not only insightful, but also has a very good performance. She ranked first in the whole grade, with almost full marks in all subjects, and she is far away from the second place."
Then she stood up and ran to Jackson, held his arm and sat down next to him. "Grandpa, don't be anxious to object. Although the Qiao family is less than 1/10 of the Sun family, but the Lily is a treasure. You can't deny her so easily. Besides, Grandpa, you are not such a snobbish person. You haven't to pay attention to equal social rank is good for the Sun family's business, isn't it?"
These words seemed to be nothing, but in fact, they pushed Jackson to a high level, making him difficult to get down.
Alas… After all, it was caused by her. Now she had to try her best to suppress it. She couldn't let her grandfather destroyed the good things of Lily and Eric, or she would be very sorry!
On the other hand, Amanda was suspicious. "Is she really that good?"
"Yes." "Grandma, you will know after getting along with her for a long time. In most people's eyes, Lily is someone else's daughter."
Although she was exaggerating, Amanda still kept her attitude.
At this time, the people they were talking about came. It was brought in by Noble.
When Eric saw them, he finally understood why he didn't see Noble when he came here just now. It turned out that he was going to pick up Lily.
On the other hand, Noble didn't look relaxed. He walked in front of Lily and stopped in front of Jackson. "Grandpa, I have brought the person you want to see."
"Okay." He answered softly. His face was not as serious as before when he met Eric, but still very serious.
Glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, Sherry let go of her hand and ran to Lily, smiling. She held her arm and said, "Lily, you're here. I miss you so much."
Then she turned around and hugged her. She whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Before Lily could react, by the time she came to her senses, Sherry had already let go of her and stood beside her, arm in arm with her.
