Chapter 87 Did You Like Her

Quickly after, the door was pushed open, and the person came in was the restaurant manager. People in the Bai Family were immediately disappointed.

"Miss Gary," the manager said to him with a smile, "Mr. Clark asked me to tell you that there was a traffic jam on the way and they will be here soon. If you need anything to drink, just tell me first."

Gary's face immediately darkened. It seemed that the Ji Family did it on purpose?

Seeing this, Anna hurriedly broke the gloom and waved at the manager, saying, "Give me a cup of water."

"Okay." The manager left in a hurry.

Fiona started to complain, "The Ji Family is absolutely late on purpose. Late for the traffic jam? That's their excuse! Why didn't they set off earlier since it's an important meeting tonight?"

"Even if they did it on purpose, we still have to bear it! Calm down. Don't say that in front of them later," Gary warned Fiona.

Anna comforted them at once, "I'm pregnant now. They must not look down upon us. Don't worry!"

The three of them had waited for half an hour before the Ji Family arrived.

Compared with the Bai Family, the Ji Family was seemingly much more powerful.

At the sight of Lucas, Gary stood up immediately and greeted him warmly. "Mr. Lucas, long time no see!"

Lucas replied in an indifferent voice, "Indeed, it's been a long time."

But he didn't hold Gary's hand. Instead, he took the seat of honor.

Gary's hand hung in the air. Embarrassed, he took it back.

As if not noticing this scene, Clark walked straight to their seats and pulled them for Penny and Amanda to sit on.

Then he sat down beside Amanda. Anna was embarrassed. She had been waiting for him to pull the seat for her. But now she could only sit down on her own.

When she saw how arrogant the Ji Family was, Fiona trembled with anger. She tried to say something, but was stopped by Gary.

As if nothing had happened, Gary took Fiona by the hand and sat down. "We are so happy to see you today! What's Mr. Lucas' arrangement on their marriage?"

Lucas glanced at him and sneered, "I don't dare to arrange for their wedding this time easily. Who knows if the Bai Family will break off the engagement again or not? Only fools would fall into the same river twice!"

With an embarrassed look, Gary waved his hand and explained, "Mr. Lucas, please don't be angry. I know it was our fault in the past. I'll apologize to you today."

After that, he took up the prepared wine and drank it in one gulp!

Only then did the expression on Lucas's face relaxed a little.

Anna sat beside nervously, but Clark looked indifferent from the beginning, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

His eyes never fell on Anna since he came here.

Holding back her anger, Fiona smiled and said to Penny, "Let's leave the past behind, Mrs. Penny. Since the two kids love each other and Anna is pregnant with Clark's baby now, shouldn't we consider their marriage now?"

With that, Penny glanced at Anna's abdomen, but moved her look quickly.

"Mrs. Fiona," said Penny with a faint smile, "Now that Miss Anna is pregnant, you should take care of her and the baby first. The Ji Group has too many things to deal with recently. We don't have time to worry about their marriage. Let Anna give birth to the baby first. We will talk about the marriage after the baby is born."

"You don't have time? We can make preparations for the wedding!" Fiona said immediately.

"That's so kind of you. But..." With a cold smile, Penny replied, "It's the first time that Clark is married. The groom's family should make arrangements for the wedding. Otherwise, the public may say that we don't care about our future daughter-in-law."

Anger rose in Fiona's heart. "Then what do you mean? Make my daughter pregnant before marriage?"

"She indeed got pregnant before getting married," Amanda said in a calm voice.

"Do you mean that my daughter is to be blamed for this?" asked Fiona angrily.

"If your daughter didn't agree that, how could she be pregnant now?" Amanda said with a cold smile.

"You...... You have gone too far! How can you say that?" Fiona couldn't stand being provoked, so she finally pounded the desk and stood up.

Lucas sneered and said, "It seems that you guys don't have good manners. It was you who broke off the engagement, and now it is you who force them to get married. Don't think our Ji family is a

supermarket. Your daughter could come when she wanted to come and could leave when she wanted to leave.

That's a deal. You guys can accept it if you like. It's okay if you don't want to accept. We don't mind! She can have an abortion when the child is still small. We will pay a compensation for it!" With that, Lucas stood up and left.

Fiona stood still in a daze. Clearly, she did not expect this kind of situation to happen.

Gary's face turned livid with rage and he rolled his eyes at Fiona. In no time, he stood up and stopped Lucas. "Please stop, Mr. Lucas. Let's discuss about it."

"There is nothing to discuss between us," Lucas answered in a cold tone. Then he turned around and left with Penny and Amanda.

Anna took a look at Amanda with hatred.

Clark hadn't left yet. Sitting in his seat, he didn't open his mouth until Gary and Fiona seat back. "I'm sorry," he said coldly.

Gary was stunned. He pointed at Anna and asked, "She's pregnant with your child. Do you want her to have an abortion?"

"No," Clark glanced at Anna's belly indifferently and said with a smile, "Keep the baby!"

"What about the wedding?" Gary asked immediately.

"Let's talk about it later," Clark raised his eyelids and said casually. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The result was totally out of Gary's expectation. Under such a circumstance, he had no idea how to convince the Ji Group to invest in the Bai Group.

With an aggrieved look on her face, Anna reached out her hand and held on to Clark's arm, saying, "Clark, are we not going to get married because of your parents' opposition?"

Clark didn't respond. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Gary rolled his eyes and took a seat beside Clark. "Mr. Clark, I have a business to deal with. Are you interested in it?" he asked in a flattering tone.

"Really?" Finally, Clark raised his head, waiting for his words.

"Here is the thing," Gary said after organizing his words, "Our company has some cash flow problems recently, so I want to ask the Ji Group to invest in us. Do me a favor, please. Of course, you'll benefit a lot in the future..."

But before he could finish his words, Clark cut in, "It's a significant matter. We must ask for the opinions of other shareholders before making a decision."

Then, Clark also stood up and left.

Gary stood up, followed Clark and said, "Clark, I will wait for your good news then."

When Anna found out that Clark didn't even look at her today, she didn't know what she had done wrong. Tears kept falling from her eyes.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, a figure rushed to Clark and shouted, "Brother!"

Clark frowned.

"Let's go for a drink! We haven't had fun together for a long time," Amanda said with a pout.

Clark had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Amanda knew Clark must be really upset after what had happened today. So she took him to a wine house owned by the Ji Group and drank quietly with him.

At the beginning, they could talk normally and share interesting things of their childhood. Later, when she was drunk, she started to talk more.

"Brother, where is the girl who saved you when you were a child?" Amanda said tentatively.

"You met her before." Clark face was slightly red, but his mind was still clear.

Amanda asked intentionally, "Did I meet her before? Ah, do you mean Rachel? After I came back, I only met her once except you and our family members!"

Clark didn't say a word as an agreement.

"Then...... Do you like her?" Amanda continued to sound him out.
