Chapter 533: A Stranger Joins the Meal
-He should be here soon.
John didn't openly say who he was.
-This way, please.
A waiter's voice came from the door. Juan's eyes rested on the door and waited for the other party to enter.
The woman pushing the door surprised both Leopoldo and Mariana.
It turned out to be Diana.
-Why is she here? -Leopoldo looked at the other party with eyes full of disgust. On such an occasion, Diana should not have been invited. -Hello, uncle.
Diana ignored Leopoldo's displeasure and greeted Juan directly. As for Mariana, next to him, she also had an invisible look.
It was as if it made no difference to her whether the woman was there or not.
-Diana, she's finally here.
Perla also stood up hurriedly and prepared to greet the woman who had arrived. Looking at Diana, Perla's expression was also much improved. He had waited a long time for her to arrive.
-Uncle, you could have not waited for me, I also had something to do so I was a little late -Diana said while looking at the two of them.
The news of Leopoldo's marriage was spreading, so naturally Juan had come back for this matter.
-We all know you're busy," Perla said as she looked at her.
It was only because he knew the woman was busy that Juan first said he would wait for Diana.
Who knew she would show up the second after she was named.
-It's good that you're here," Juan said.
He was very glad Diana was able to come. But at this moment, Mariana's face was unusually ugly.
-How can you do this? -Leopoldo looked at the other man with a disgusted face.
Diana should not be here.
-What's the matter? I'm so old and you don't think it's okay for me to invite one more person to dinner? -Juan looked sideways at Leopoldo and said unpleasantly. His son's temper was not really small. Leopoldo was speechless and wanted to reply.
-He's good, there's no reason why he shouldn't be good," Mariana looked at Diana and answered.
Anyway, if Juan was willing to invite her, then there was no reason for them not to entertain.
Juan looked at the duo with a cold expression.
-That's fine," Juan looked at Mariana, thinking that she was quite sensible in this regard.
Diana gave Mariana a cold look. She didn't think there was anything good in Mariana, and today's reaction was also out of her expectations.
If she were in Mariana's position, Diana would probably have left by now.
-Dude, are you still used to drinking the tea I brought you earlier?
Diana didn't focus on Mariana for too long, the protagonist of the dinner was still the old man after all.
There was no way Leopoldo was going to embarrass her father.
-You've been filming lately, when did you send the tea? -Leopoldo looked at Diana with a cold expression.
The past with Diana was something he had almost forgotten. With Diana's current state, there was no need to go to all the trouble to please his father, it was really unnecessary.
-Who gave you the address? -Leopoldo looked at Diana with a questioning tone.
Leopoldo resented any relationship between Diana and her parents. But every word and every act of Leopoldo seemed very out of place in Juan's eyes.
His son didn't really think about people's feelings when he spoke.
-Do you think it was mailed? It wasn't," Juan looked at his son and denied it.
Diana took a sip of wine from her glass, unimpressed. She had been abroad on business before and, by chance, had heard that Juan and Perla were traveling.
Then an address was left and there was contact.
Diana was more sincere than Leopoldo had imagined. She did not mail it, but went to visit them in person.
-Diana, the black tea is very much to your uncle's taste, he is about to finish it," Pearl looked at the woman and hurried to make conversation.
The black tea was a souvenir given by the promotional brand Diana participated in.
Although it was a souvenir, it was also a prized item. Thinking that the price was not cheap, Diana gave it to Juan.
She thought this gift was too light, but unexpectedly, it was just to the other party's liking.
-It's good that uncle likes it," Diana looked at Perla and unconsciously thanked her. It was clear to see that Perla was fond of her.
The feeling was indeed quite good.
-That tea is a treasure, wait till I figure out how to get more for Uncle -Diana grabbed a piece of food with her chopsticks and sent it into Juan's bowl in a very filial way.
It was clear that Juan was delighted with this woman.
-Then we should thank Diana in advance," Pearl said as he looked at her.
The tea was good, and so was Diana as a person.
All things considered, she was certainly much better than Mariana. Mariana had decided to leave the entertainment industry completely three years ago for her own reasons and now she had no substantial income.
There was no telling if she could bring anything good to Leopoldo.
But Diana was impressive.
Since Mariana left the entertainment industry, half the world belonged to Diana. Her acting skills were good and her looks weren't bad either. She had won over half the world with her own skills. In the last year, in particular, she had a popularity boom.
-Aunt is too polite -Diana glanced at the other party and immediately knew what was going through Perla's mind. It was easy to see what was going through that woman's mind.
But at times like this, it was rare for Diana to be able to defend herself.
-Diana is really a good girl," Juan looked at Diana, and the more he looked at her, the more he became surprisingly fond of her.
Leopoldo swept the three, unimpressed.
"What the hell are you doing in front of Mariana?"
-Diana, do you have time now? -Juan asked suddenly.
Diana hesitated for a moment, looked carefully at Leopoldo, who was beside her, and then spoke:
-Uncle, the day after tomorrow we have to shoot some commercials, so....
Juan, seeing that the other party was saying that, was quite satisfied.
-Nowadays, young people like you are fewer and fewer.
Especially, if it was a girl.
This was something Juan appreciated.
Leopoldo was not at all interested in what happened to Diana.
-Leopoldo, how come you didn't say a word when you saw Diana coming? -Juan looked at his son and scolded him.
In his opinion, his son should not have reacted like that.
-I'm married," Leopoldo told him as he looked at his father.
