Although Emily made psychological
construction after getting off the car, she was still nervous when she was close to the villa and saw the the servants in kitchen and living room.
Her parents were employees of state-owned enterprises before their death. It meant that they were ordinary people.
Emily had never come into contact with such a rich and powerful family. Although she knew that his family background must be not simple when she accompanied him to a banquet, she had never thought that it would be so powerful. Furthermore, it was a family that made great contribution to the country.
It was as if she saw a different Simon, familiar and strange.
And there was more than a little gap between him and herself.
Her hands, which were clinging tightly to her pants, trembled slightly and were suddenly held by big hands.
Emily raised her head and looked at him. The power from the hands gradually made her recover her breath. She then thought of something. "Simon, you should have told me earlier. I didn't prepare any gifts..."
It was impolite to see elders without any gift for the first time.
"You don't need to do that. Just enjoy the meal later." Simon didn't care about it at all.
"..." It wasn't the scene of a wedding dinner where she could eat at will!
Emily was speechless, but now she had no time to complain about him. She was pulled into the villa by him like a marionette.
Unexpectedly, the decoration of Chin Family was not extravagant. The porch was spacious and grand red sandalwood furniture were put on the red carpet. There were many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. All in all, the decoration was low-key and tasteful, with a sense of righteousness.
Emily guessed that it should be due to the identity of Simon's father.
As soon as they entered the door, there was a servant waiting there. After calling Simon "Young Master", he handed them two pairs of slippers. After changing the slippers, Emily raised her head and saw a man walking towards her.
His height was similar to Simon's, and their facial features were somewhat similar. However, he wore glasses and looked gentler than Simon. But when he was close to them, Emily felt the indifference between his eyebrows and eyes.
Emily guessed that they were siblings. Then, as expected, she heard Simon called, "Brother!"
"Hey, Young Master Chin is finally willing to come back? It is rare to see. Didn't you drive the car into the living room today?" Wilson, who seemed to have just come back, was still dressed in a suit. When he noticed the person next to Simon, he asked in surprise, "Who is this?"
"Emily." Simon casually introduced.
When Emily heard it, she suddenly became unhappy.
F*ck it!
Wilson raised his eyebrows calmly and handed over a card from the card clip in his pocket. He said politely, "I'm Simon's second elder brother, Wilson Chin. You can call me as you like!"
Emily took the card with both hands and found that he was the president of a group. She swallowed her saliva in surprise. Sure enough, the people of the Chin family were not ordinary. She opened her mouth and was about to greet him politely, but Simon, who was next to her, spoke first.
"Call him brother!"
After that, Wilson turned around and strode to the kitchen.
The people in the living room immediately stood up and walked to the dining room. But after all, they were in order. Bellamy, the head of the family, walked in the front. When passing by Emily, he paused and looked at her up and down.
Emily's palms were sweaty and she only felt that the unique cool air of the old house was coming into the bone, rising up from the soles of her feet.
She almost blurted out, "Hello, commander." However, Bellamy had already looked away indifferently and strode over. Her intuition reminded her that Simon's father doesn't like her very much.
In the dining room, the long table was filled with all kinds of food, and the servants were still taking up the dishes one after another.
Not long after they sat down, footsteps came from upstairs and soon ther person entered the dining room. It was a gentle and beautiful woman who seemed to be a noble lady from a rich family, because her gestures and actions were very graceful.
Emily had already guessed her identity. It was impossible for such a rich family to have no hostess, so Emily speculated that she should be the latest wife of Simon's father.
However, when the beautiful woman came to the dining table, Wilson, who was on the side, stood up early to pull out the chair, and said in a gentle tone, "Mom, please!"
Emily was stunned. She looked at Simon beside her in surprise, only to see him slightly pursing his lips. Then he called out, "Aunt."
"Simon, you are back!" Mrs. Chin smiled at him and said happily. Then she turned to Quinn and her father and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. Due to my poor health, I have been staying in the room for a few days. I'm sorry for my snub!"
The father and daughter waved their hands and smiled, expressing that they didn't mind it.
Emily bit the corner of her mouth and whispered in perplexity, "Simon..."
