Chapter 198 Full of Enthusiasm Lucas knew that she was really not used to this place. He smiled and said, “If it is really uncomfortable,
you can go downstairs and tell Mr. Meng. I think Mr. Meng will understand.”
“Yeah, you’re right.” Emily nodded. When she was about to get up, she accidentally swept the cup on
the table and wet her skirt. Seeing this, Lucas immediately took out a handkerchief from the pocket of
his suit and stepped forward. “I’ll help you.” Unexpectedly, just as he approached, Emily took a step to
the side and avoided him.
“I won’t trouble Mr. Greens. I’ll do it myself.” After that, she took a few pieces of paper from the coffee
table and squatted down to wipe the water on her skirt. Lucas stood where he was, staring blankly at
the woman’s movements. His brows furrowed imperceptibly. For some reason, he felt that Emily had
been avoiding him just now. But he felt that he was overthinking things. After all, Emily had no reason
to do so, right? Emily did not know what he was thinking. After she tidied up her dress, she called
Lucas downstairs. After they went down, the two of them found Elder Meng, but they saw want Charles
Johnson’s family. They took William and Emma to greet Elder Meng with a respectful attitude. “Elder
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeng, this is the chairman of the Armstrong Group, William, and my father-in-law. He has always
admired you, and he has a lot of respect for your management philosophy.” Charles Johnson
introduced William to Elder Meng. “I’ve always hoped to meet Elder Meng and study from him. My
dream has finally come true,” William said.
Emma also threw out some compliments. “I’ve always heard about Elder Meng’s deeds. Today, I finally
see him in person.” As she spoke, she suddenly saw Emily standing in the crowd. Her expression
changed immediately. Perhaps because she was too surprised, she forgot that this was Elder Meng’s
birthday banquet. “Emily, why are you here?” she asked sharply.
Almost as soon as she said this, the others were attracted by the voice. Emily felt the probing gazes
around her and frowned. Before she could speak, she saw Emma walking towards her in high heels.
“How did you get into Elder Meng’s birthday banquet? This is not a place you should come to.”
“If you can come, why can’t I come?”
Emily sneered and retorted. When William heard this, he frowned tightly, and there was obvious anger
in his eyes. It was only because he had Elder Meng by his side that he didn’t berate her. On the other
hand, when Elder Meng heard the conversation just now, he narrowed his eyes and turned to ask
William, “What, you know Doctor Armstrong?” Hearing this, William was obviously stunned for a
moment. Because he could clearly feel the intimacy between Elder Meng and Emily. He tilted his head
and looked deeply at Emily. There was doubt in his eyes. He did not understand when this cheap girl
met Elder Meng. However, this was good news for him. He could use his relationship with Emily to gain
the support of the Meng family. Thinking of this, he suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and
humbly said, “Sorry to let you see this, Elder Meng. This is my daughter. She was raised outside the
family, and her personality is a bit wild.” He deliberately said the last words to explain why Emily had a
bad attitude towards him and his wife just now. Elder Meng was a little surprised. He looked at him,
then looked at Emily who was a few steps away. He said ‘oh’ and did not continue. When William saw
Elder Meng’s attitude, he was a little confused for a moment. Was this Elder Meng close to Emily or did
he not know her?
Just as he was thinking, Emily’s cold voice sounded in his ears. “Mr. Armstrong, don’t speak nonsense.
I have had no father or mother since I was young. I’m an orphan. I don’t have a father like you!” After
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe finished speaking, Emily didn’t care how livid William’s face was. Her expression changed and she
said gently to Old Meng, “Senior Meng, I come to say bye. It’s getting late. The children at home are
still waiting for me. I have to go back first.”
“Why are you in such a hurry? Stay a little longer.” Elder Meng immediately urged her to stay. As for
Johnson family and William, he directly left them behind.
When Mr. Hawking learned that Emily was leaving, he also walked over and kindly urged her to stay.
“Ms. Armstrong, stay a little longer. I will ask Greens family to send you back later.” “I can arrange for
the driver to send you.” Elder Meng said, unwilling to fall behind. When the others saw this scene, they
were all shocked. “What’s going on?” “This is the first time I’ve seen Elder Meng so close to a junior
who is not a family member.”
“So what is the identity of this woman? Why is she favored by Elder Meng and Mr. Hawking?” At the
same time, Charles Johnson’s family, William, and his wife looked at the scene in front of them and felt
even worse. These two old men were big shots! Everyone had to curry favor from them. And just now,
these two old men were still cold and indifferent to them. But now, these two old men were full of
enthusiasm for Emily. Why!?
