Chapter 6 Not A Family
Chapter 6 Not A Family
'Who is she?' Kevin smiled bitterly.
When the video was zoomed in, the blood all over his body was almost frozen.
The legendary woman with outstanding beauty and wisdom, darling daughter of XU Group. She had proudly replied to the news that her fiancé had an affair in front of the media, and the girl he had been secretly in love with, Armani.
In the eyes of Jacob, these identities were probably not worth mentioning at all. After all, compared to the business of Jacob's family, XU Group was not even a small finger.
But Kevin didn't know why Jacob, who had never been interested in women, suddenly became interested in Armani.
Armani was not an ordinary woman. She didn't care about money or men.
Such a girl was not something that Jacob could get only by money.
"That girl is Armani, the elder daughter of XU Group." Kevin said cautiously in front of Jacob. He was also paying attention to Jacob's expression.
Hearing the identity of Armani, Jacob thought for a while. The woman last night was so active and independent. It was obvious that she was the kind of girl from a rich family who went to have fun. However, her behavior of leaving a pile of money in a hurry in the early morning was obviously not in accordance with what she had done last night.
Besides, it was her first time. Women were very fond of fantasizing. Especially who came from a superior family and were very outstanding. Therefore, they had higher requirements for this relationship, so it was unusual last night.
"What happened to her?" Jacob asked directly.
Kevin nodded. Knowing that he would ask, he handed the newspaper in his hand to Jacob.
Jacob took it and glanced at it. He smiled.
'Her fiancé cheated on her, she was also vilified about interference. This woman didn't show any dejected expression on her face. Instead, she proudly declared in front of the media that she didn't need to care about this cheating, nor did she need to step in.
No wonder she took the initiative last night. It turned out that she came to get drunk to vent her anger.'
"Does she like that man very much?" Jacob asked again.
Kevin thought for a while and said, "I think so. After all, they grew up together, and they are a typical golden couple. The engagement between the two families is a common thing, but I didn't expect such a change to happen. Her father has just died not long ago. She is very busy and tired for the company's share transfer. I don't think there are many other people who can hold on after encountering so many things. "
Hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but feel sorry for Armani. In order to protect herself, a weak woman had to pretend to be fierce, and arrogant to hide her sensitive and fragile heart.
Seeing the change of Kevin's expression, Jacob threw the thing to him and said indifferently, "She is very smart. Don't be cheated by her. You can't win her."
Kevin wanted to roll his eyes at him. He didn't care whether Armani was smart or fool since he didn't sleep with her last night. The behavior of Jacob was very hateful.
Moreover, Kevin was more concerned about what his friend would think of Armani.
"Go on." Noticing that the tea expert stopped, Jacob said.
The tea expert continued to pour water.
Jacob turned on his computer and continued to work there, so Kevin had to leave first.
'Armani, interesting woman.' There was a flash of smile in the man's eyes. His eyes seemed to fall in front of the computer, but the mind was not there.
When he went to Kevin's shop last night, he just wanted to take a seat casually. He didn't expect that someone would dare to block his way and seduce him.
After a night of romance, seeing the money on the table, of course, Jacob was a little angry, but then he felt funny. He was actually regarded as such a waiter one day. The woman was good in quality and knew to pay a lot of overnight fee.
In doing business, there was a win-win situation. Since the other party was so conscious, Jacob thought he might as well give her another value added service.
Armani had stayed at home for a whole day. She should have gone to the company after returning home. The position of the executive director was expected to fall on her. Most of the shareholders in the general shareholder's meeting were the founding members left by her father, and they were inclined to support her to run XU Group.
After resting for a day and feeling better, Armani cheered up and said to Mary, "I've sent the materials of the general shareholder's meeting to your mailbox tomorrow. Sort them out and print fifty copies. Make sure to send them to the shareholders in advance."
Mary started to prepare at once.
Armani leaned against the bed and someone knocked on the door again.
She frowned and was a little unhappy. She had said that no one was allowed to disturb her, but someone was disturbing her at this time.
So she said coldly, "Who is it?"
"Armani, it's me." A gentle and hoarse male voice said.
Armani's eyes turned cold. She closed the computer, put on her coat and walked to the door. When she opened the door, she saw Ben standing in front of her door. Jessie happily held his hand and said, "Sister, Ben came to see mom and me. He knew that you didn't come back last night and was worried about you, so he came to see you."
As soon as she finished her words, she turned to look at Ben and said, "Ben, I'm right. My sister doesn't care about it at all. She's fine."
Ben was wearing casual clothes. He was tall and handsome. Standing next to Jessie, they were indeed a perfect match. The man who had shown up in front of the media with Armani changed his mind so quickly.
"Armani, I hope we can be a family even if we can't be lovers in the future." Ben said in a gentle voice tomorrow, as if it was someone else who was trying to win back his love. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Armani smiled, "I don't need such a family. If you will marry Jessie. At that time, she was a member of your family, and I am still a member of my family. We are not a family."
Edith complained, "Armani, what are you talking about? Anyway, Ben is our guest. It's disrespectful for you to treat him like this. The Xu family and the Ming family are good friends. Of course, we will be a family by marriage."
The Xu family was on good terms with the Ming family. Only a simple woman like Edith could believe that.
Armani didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she turned around and went back to her room.
Over the years, XU Group and MING Group had been engaged in real estate development business. Sometimes, the two families even cooperated to build a complete set of facilities in the community. However, things of the same nature repel each other. Both of them were engaged in real estate. The winner was the one who could get the most in the common interests. Most of the time, they couldn't get a win-win result. On the contrary, they would form a situation of harmony on the surface and opposite on the back.
