Chapter 20 A Blessing In Disguise
Seeing that the two of them were surrounded by their peers and discussed heatedly, it was difficult for a woman to interfere, so Vivian stood aside and tasted the delicious cake alone.
Riley sneered and walked over. When she saw that everyone was looking at this bitch, she felt ten thousand more uncomfortable!
"Bitch!" Due to the dim light, this place became a little dark and mysterious. Few people came to see this place. Riley seized this point and said boldly.
"Shame on you to come to this place!" If others know that we are here, what kind of headline news will they make?" Riley said ferociously.
She didn't want to be caught and compared with this bitch!
"Mrs. Zheng, please behave yourself!" Putting down the plate in her hand, Vivian glared back, not to be outdone.
Riley got angry when she heard the words "Mrs. Zheng"! She was also a member of the Pei Family. She lived in the Pei Family and use the things of the Pei Family then why couldn't she be counted as a member of the Pei Family. And she was insulted by Vivian again!
"Bitch! Which rich man do you hook up with to do this to me? Was it Austin? Or Jeffrey? You finally let go of Jay?"
"Riley, don't sling mud at me! I'm a decent person. How could I do such a thing? If you are really jealous of me, please don't be so mean, okay?"
"You!" With her eyes wide open, Riley couldn't bear to see that Vivian had a reason to oppose her, so Riley reached out her hand and slapped on her delicate face.
Vivian turned her head to avoid it, but tripped over something behind her and fell backwards out of balance.
"Bang!" Vivian fell to the ground and knocked down a table of delicately prepared food and drinks. Desserts and wine were all scattered on the ground, and glass pieces were all over the ground. She stiffened on the ground and forgot her wound when she saw the mess.
"Ah!"
Riley was stunned. She didn't mean to push her. Riley just wanted to slap her and teach her a lesson!
She stepped forward, trying to squat down and pretend to pass by, but Jeffrey took a step ahead. He took off his suit jacket and covered it on Vivian. He reached out and pressed the uneasy woman on his chest, and took her to the back door.
Austin stopped and looked at the backs of the two. He frowned and looked in the direction of Riley.
With a stiff smile, Riley ran to Jay and held his arm. Seeing the astonishment on his face, she gently leaned on his shoulder and said, "Honey, Vivian..."
Vivian put her arms around Jeffrey's neck tightly. It was the first time that she had seen everyone blaming her. She was so helpless that no one would help her. Everyone was waiting to laugh at her. She was afraid that if Jeffrey wasn't there, how would she deal with such an embarrassing situation?
"Don't think too much!" Jeffrey put her in the car, took off her high heels and frowned at her swollen ankle.
Now it was not about who hurt her, but to deal with the wound first. Otherwise, the wound would be more serious if it was not taken care of!
Jeffrey sat on the driver's seat and stepped on the gas.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor prepared by the assistant had already been waiting there. Looking at the man who rushed into the ward with a woman in his arms, they knew it was him. "You must cure her wound. If there is any scar left, you will not be able to stay here anymore!" Staring at the doctor in front of him, Jeffrey sat aside and watched the doctor bandage Vivian's wound. "Her wound is not very serious. She just sprained the tendon. She will rest on the bed for a week temporarily. She will recover soon after taking medicine and getting massage on time." The doctor didn't dare to look into Jeffrey's eyes.
"Okay." Jeffrey replied coldly. Looking at the bandaged wound on her ankle, he walked up to Vivian and asked, "Does it hurt?"
." Vivian stretched out her swollen foot, pouted and said nothing.
She couldn't get out of bed for a week! Even if she wanted to drink water, she had to be taken care of by others.
"That's good. You won't run around." Jeffrey, on the other hand, was a little proud of himself. Thinking that he could feed her three meals every day, he felt warm in his heart.
This is a blessing in disguise.
Jeffrey picked her up and drove back to his villa.
It was late at night. He cooked porridge and a smaller dish, carefully prepared it and put it on the plate. When he took the food into the room, he found that the little woman on the bed had fallen asleep quietly. Her cherry lips were slightly pouted, and her eyelashes trembled. Her eyebrows were wrinkled tightly, looking very uneasy.
Jeffrey put down the plate, stretched out her hand to smooth her eyebrows, lowered her head and skimmed over her forehead. After tidying up, he went to bed and helped her hold her restless feet, tightly hugging her to sleep.
The next day, Jeffrey received a call from his assistant and knew that there were reporters surrounding the company. When he got out of the car and walked into the company gate, he was surrounded by a group of reporters. Cameras kept flashing, and microphones were handed in front of him.
"Mr. Shen, how do you feel about being on the headline? Do you think it's inappropriate or it implied consent?"
"Mr. Shen, have you already expected that you would get on the headline, so you brought a date to the party?"
"Mr. Shen, will you hide the information about your date on purpose?"
Jeffrey frowned unhappily and glanced coldly at the aggressive reporters in front of her. He reached out for his work card and sneered, "Boulevard Entertainment? Don't you want to get yourself fired?" Everyone was frightened by his words. They looked at each other and withdrew the microphone weakly, watching the tall and straight figure gradually disappear at the door.
The assistant waved his hand and followed him closely.
Jay watched the TV report, thinking about the news this morning.
Jeffrey would never let anyone see Vivian. Although the party was high-profile, no one dared to take photos of him. The last time something similar happened, Jeffrey just directly bought the news company. Who would expose the headline regardless of the big picture? Did this person want to make a hit? Or did this person have other intentions?
If things went on like this, Vivian would suffer losses in the end anyway.
Riley raised her eyebrows at her mother. She was surprised and pleased when she saw the cold face of Jeffrey on TV and the tall and straight back of him in the end.
Jeffrey looked back at herself in confusion. Was he sure that she had made a mistake? Vivian was not stupid enough to ask him to deal with her. That would be easy! Riley smirked and felt sorry for Vivian. As soon as Jay left, Kelly got close to her daughter and asked happily, "Riley, how is it going? Is everything going well?"
"Of course! I don't know how could that bitch Vivian be so lucky? I thought she was Mr. Lu's date and couldn't leave with Mr. Lu if she was injured. I didn't expect that she would appear with Jeffrey. It's all her fault!"
Riley took a sip of the tea and looked at Kelly complacently.
Kelly grabbed the blanket on her and knew that Riley must have made it! How much trouble did she save now?
"Mom, what do you think Jeffrey will do to me?"
"No, he won't do anything to you for the time being. As long as you do these things secretly, he won't have so much free time to investigate it? Besides, that bitch won't go out to seduce men now!"
"Mom!" Riley covered her mouth with her hand and smiled. Hearing her words, Riley felt relieved. The look in his eyes last night was so horrible, like the eyes of a greedy beast that wanted to tear her apart in the dark night.
"Riley, it's time for you to visit your father. You haven't visited him for a long time. He must miss you!"
"Okay! Mom, you are the best."
Riley straightened her collar and coughed. Then she opened the door carefully with the lunch box in her hand. The nurse carefully bent down and wiped her father's arms.
"Let me do it! I don't need you!" Riley grabbed the towel from her hand and said harshly.
She hated this nurse very much. She didn't like anything related to Vivian! As if she would compete for her dad's favor at any time.
Hearing the voice, Albert opened his eyes slowly and saw Riley. He said slowly, "Riley."
When Riley entered the room, she saw her father with his eyes closed. She thought he was sleeping, but now he called her name. She was really frightened, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if she had done something wrong and was caught.
"Dad!" Riley turned around and put the lunch box on the table, leaving a bad look to the nurse.
"Dad, are you feeling better? Have you taken good care of yourself?
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Albert sat up straight, sighed and said softly.
The nurse adjusted the pillow for him so that he could lie comfortably on the bed. Albert felt very warm and smiled at her. The nurse was used to his expression, so she pushed the door with a basin in her hand.
Riley stared at her receding figure fiercely. Then she held out her hand to Albert and said, "Dad, I really feel sorry for you. You must get better soon. Are you hungry? I brought you some low fat and low sodium dishes."
She just wanted to listen to her mother and take good care of her father. It was the best to get some information from him, and then tell her father a little bit to see how he reacted.
"Okay, I just wanted to eat." Albert nodded.
Riley smiled and opened the lunch box obediently. The delicious smell filled his nose. She set up a table in front of Albert and placed the dishes on the table.
"Dad, let's watch TV." As Riley spoke, she took the remote control and deliberately switched the channel to the news station.
"Mr. Shen of the Shen Group rarely brings a date to the banquet held by the Lu Group and the Pei Group. The woman's identity is mysterious, and only her back is photographed. I don't know what he meant, Mr. Shen. Do you want to secretly show your love, or?
The host exaggeratedly described the scene at that time, and several blurry photos were played on the TV. It could be seen that the woman reached out to encircle the man's neck. We can tell the two people were intimate. 0000
