Everyone laughed. “We weren’t bribed by Julian. We’re just speaking the truth. Julian is genuinely good and is a perfect match for Quinn.”
Another coach whispered, “I think Julian also likes Quinn. Mainly because, of all the young men Quinn has encountered, apart from us seniors, there hasn’t been a decent one. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford are also worried.”
“If Julian wasn’t good, we wouldn’t approve of him pursuing Quinn. I see that Quinn gets along well with Julian. But I always feel that Quinn treats Julian the same as she treats us.”
These words made everyone involuntarily nod, feeling deeply resonant.
There were many seniors and juniors, but it was Quinn, their junior, who made them worry. The main issue was that Quinn habitually treated males as buddies, and they felt helpless.
They had thought about introducing a boyfriend to Quinn, but her requirement was for the person to be skilled in martial arts. Those who could not match Quinn’s martial prowess would sneak into the martial arts hall to observe her after hearing about her reputation. Once they saw Quinn’s formidable skills, they were afraid they could not handle her, just like the blind date candidates.
That was all.
Will chuckled. “Actually, you guys were indeed bribed by Julian. Including me as the big brother, we were all subtly swayed by Julian’s financial capability. But he’s quite good, more than enough for Quinn.
“I don’t blame you guys. We joke around for Quinn’s sake. After observing Julian for such a long time, if he had any shortcomings, I wouldn’t have let things develop.”
“In your words, our little sister Quinn has the habit of treating the men around her as buddies. Let’s see how Julian can turn the tables. I appreciate Julian, but he just lives a bit far. If my little sister is married away to Wiltspoon, that’s quite a distance. She can’t come back more than twice a year.”
One from the crowd said, “We can let Julian buy a house in Summervale. His business is here, and buying a house here won’t be a waste of money, and instead would be quite valuable for him.”
Will remained silent for a moment and then said, “Let’s talk about these things later. Now, I don’t want to think too much about it. We can’t control it anyway. Let it be, Julian will handle it.”
Will felt that Julian was not just a businessman because he was too capable, and his network was extensive. Will felt that Julian was unpredictable.
Soon, Julian brought the fried chicken and isotonic drink for Quinn and sat opposite her.
He liked sitting across from her and watching her eat.
“Aren’t you eating?”
Quinn picked up a chicken wing. While eating, she asked Julian, “Where did you get the fried chicken? It tastes so good. I’ve had a lot of fried chicken in Summervale, but this is the first time I’ve had such delicious ones.”
Julian smiled. “If you like it, I’ll get them from the same place for you again.”
Julian chose not to tell her which place it was. If she went to eat by herself, he would not have a chance to show off.
