Chapter 40 An Unexpected Meeting
Chapter 40 An Unexpected Meeting
In the next few days, Wendy was very happy every day, concentrating on her own draft. If this draft could successfully win the prize, her mother's medical fees and house fees would be paid.
Thinking of this, Wendy became more motivated.
Chelsea was confused, in fact, if Ellis was in charge of this matter, it would be settled soon. Wendy knew what Chelsea meant, but she didn't tell Ellis the truth, she knew that there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, so she didn't want him to be distracted.
Three days later, the competition was about to begin.
In the past few days, Wendy had spent most of her time at the home of Chelsea, and she didn't even have the chance to meet Ellis. However, he also had a lot of things to deal with, the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and were busy with their own things.
The day before the game, Wendy's high spirit was interrupted by a sudden call. It's Leah!
"Come to Guan House. I want to see you!" Leah said in a cold voice, then she hung up the phone before Wendy could say anything.
Wendy's eyes darkened and her heart sank, it seemed that she had been out of the Jiang Family for a long time and hadn't heard anything about the issues of Georgina and Leo! Leah didn't seem to make any move...
Wendy began to forget those messy things, as if everything was so far away from her, but at this moment... Leah's sudden call broke all the peace in her life. Wendy only felt that she was thrown back on the track of life.
In the afternoon, Wendy arrived at Guan Family on time.
"Knock, knock, knock," Wendy plucked up courage and knocked on the door. Soon, the door was opened, but no one was seen. She looked inside, and a sharp female voice that made her feel sick said, "Come in!"
The sudden noise startled Wendy. When she entered the room, she saw a well-dressed middle-aged woman sitting upright, she was Leah, who made her sick.
Wendy frowned and said, "I'm here!"
The woman looked at Wendy up and down with her sharp eyes, which reminded her of the way the butcher looked at the pork in the vegetable market, she knew that she had no status at the moment.
In Leah's eyes, she was just a product, but she believed that everything would be fine.
Would be fine.
"Do you know why I call you here?" Leah sneered at the appearance of Wendy, as if she was indifferent to her.
Wendy lowered her head to cover the inexplicable anger in her eyes, "I don't know!"
However, even so, Leah didn't notice that Wendy was in a bad mood at the moment, she held up her orchid fingers, which were scarlet, the dazzling red made Wendy feel quite uncomfortable.
"You haven't been to the Jiang Family for days!" Said Leah.
Wendy was shocked and thought fast. Georgina hadn't come back yet, or she would have sent someone to look for her, since Leo didn't know the deal between them, the only possibility was that...
"You send someone to supervise me?" Wendy frowned and said angrily.
Seeing the angry look on Wendy's face, Leah seemed to enjoy it very much, she pinched her fingers, with arrogance in her eyes. "I think I have made myself clear. Don't you want money to save your mother?"
That's true! Leah knew her so well that she knew what she was thinking about. As expected, Wendy couldn't help frowning and looking at her, she opened her mouth to hide her panic. "I want But I need time! "
Leah sneered, "So you suddenly regret it? " Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"I don't regret it. What should happened had already happen, hadn't it?" Wendy couldn't help but retort. All the things that should and shouldn't happen had happened to her.
But Ellis's appearance was an accident! It was difficult for her to choose at the crossroad of her life, she didn't know how to change her route and direction.
"Then what do you mean now? Don't you think it's too slow?" Leah looked at Wendy coldly," I don't have time to play with you. You should know that I don't want you to enjoy being a lady, but to complete the task! "
It was already dark when Wendy came back from Guan Family. In a trance, she bumped into Chelsea, who screamed, "Ah!" Before Wendy could react, she shouted, "Wendy, you are out of your mind! What's wrong with you? "
But she was stopped by Wilson behind her, "Don't scream! Our neighbors will hear it! "
Chelsea stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Nothing! Maybe it's the competition tomorrow, so I... I'm really tired! " Wendy was telling the truth, or maybe she wasn't. But she didn't want Chelsea to worry about her anymore.
She had always been like this, she didn't tell others bad news! It was not that she was noble, but she always felt that there were some things that shouldn't be handled by others, and she had to face many things by herself.
Wendy is like this now!
Chelsea didn't ask any more but looked at Wendy thoughtfully.
In the evening, Wilson went to the kitchen to cook. Wendy and Chelsea were watching TV on the sofa. Wendy was thinking something, she was thinking about the competition, Ellis, Leo, Georgina and Shelly... But Chelsea was really slow in thinking.
She didn't notice the anxiety on Wendy's face. Perhaps she had concealed it well!
The whole living room was filled with the voice of Chelsea, "Ah! This man was so stupid! Right! Ha ha, he is so silly! Alas, Wendy, how could he be so stupid? Such an idiot... "
Wendy echoed her, but she couldn't hear clearly what was on the TV.
When Wilson served the dishes, she couldn't help praising him when she found the color, aroma and taste of the dishes. "Wilson, you're so awesome. You're just a role model for men now! It's also Chelsea's fortune! "
Wilson didn't say anything more, he just smiled slightly, looking very gentle and silent.
On the other hand, Chelsea put a big piece of braised pork into her mouth and said excitedly, "Ah! Cooking is the only advantage of my Wilson! "
Wendy couldn't help laughing, she pointed at Chelsea and said, "Are you trying to make me hate you? How many people envy you! Please! "
It was not until then that Chelsea began to laugh, the atmosphere in the dining room eased a lot.
It was not until Wendy went back to her room and took a shower that she sat back on her desk, then her gloomy mood came back.
But she had always been a person with strong self-control. Whether it was about joy or sorrow, she still forced herself to go to bed early. Only in this way could she fight back tomorrow.
Wendy was so nervous that she even woke up at five o'clock in the morning. After tossing and turning for a while, she got up and prepared breakfast for them, then she hurried to the company.
With the manuscript in her hand, she was flustered. In order to win the competition, she even put on a light makeup. When she arrived, there was not many people in the hall of the company.
She sat there alone, waiting for everyone to come.
After a short while, everyone came one after another. Because they were participating in the competition, they all looked serious, each of them was in a straight suit, and it seemed that they attached great importance to this competition. In terms of emotion control, Wendy was actually quite easy to be affected. Although she didn't seem to have any emotion now, in fact, at this time, she had already been overwhelmed with panic.
Just as Wendy was in a panic, a sudden scream broke the relaxed atmosphere in the hall. It was a rash yellow figure, it seemed that it happened to bump into the guard at the door.
More strangely, the guard uncle, who looked two times taller than the girl in a light yellow dress, was knocked down by the girl in a light yellow dress, the crowd burst into thunderous laughter in an instant.
The girl in the light yellow dress seemed to be quite embarrassed and wanted to pull the guard, who might feel embarrassed by the girl in the light yellow dress, so he pushed away the girl's hand for a
moment, but his hand slipped and his body, which was about to stand up, fell down again because of this.
The guard was so angry that his face turned red, the girl in the light yellow dress seemed to realize what she had done, thus she was so embarrassed and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I really didn't see you here! "
Maybe the girl in light yellow dress was really nice to him, so the guard thought that if he still acted like this, he would be blamed by the public. So he stood up and patted his buttocks, and said in a very bad tone, "Remember to look at the road next time you walk..."
The girl had a good temper, she nodded and bowed to apologize. The guard saw that the girl didn't seem to have a bad temper but held a good attitude, so he didn't say anything, he could only return to his post angrily.
After watching the farce, no one continued to watch the view for a while. Everyone's mind returned to their own business. They were either reading their own manuscript, or waiting nervously at the door.
Wendy's legs went limp when she was nervous, she had always thought that she was a loser, but she had been used to treating herself as a loser, so she didn't take it seriously gradually. Therefore, as soon as she came to the company where the competition was held, she sat down straight..
