Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 393
The girl stared at Gerald, her eyes filled with curiosity.
To be honest, she was somewhat looking down at Gerald when she saw the ordinary clothes Gerald was wearing.
His sense of fashion was a bit countryside-like.
When they heard of her question.
There was a minute of awkwardness between Willie and Leia.
Especially Leia.
It was just a second ago that Willie said he had an urgent matter to handle and he would be having a meeting soon.
They were hoping Gerald would not stay for lunch.
And then her daughter jumped out of nowhere and popped this question.
This made things much more difficult for Willie and Leia.
If only their daughter had come out a little later, Gerald would have left by now!
“Oh, Leila, have you forgotten, he’s Uncle Dylan’s kid, didn’t you two meet when you were little?”
Leia said with an awkward tone.
“Ah I remember, he must be Gerald, right?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe girl replied.
“You still remember me, I’m Gerald! It’s been years since I’ve seen you, and you’ve gotten much prettier!”
The girl’s name was Leila Jung. Gerald knew her.
That was because when he came to her house as a child, Leila would point at Gerald with a disgusted face, “Mom,
ask him to leave our house this instant, he’s making our floor dirty!”
It was also a matter of pride. During their childhood, Gerald was afraid that Leila would mock him.
But things were much better now, Gerald replied with a hint of politeness.
“Thank you, Gerald, you’ve become much handsome too! You have to look after me if I’ve any trouble in the
future!”
Leila generously extended her arms to shake hands with Gerald.
Leila showed courtesy too.
To Gerald, it was considered to be the warmest words Gerald had ever heard from her since coming to the Jung
family.
“Okay, that won’t be a problem at all, you can look for me if ever you need anything in the future!” Gerald replied,
smiling widely.
She withdrew her hand while smiling gingerly, but deep inside, she thought differently.
‘Huh, look for you if I need any help? Who do you think you are, I can’t believe you got carried away just because I
was being polite towards you!’
Leila was from a family of government officials. Her father may have a lot of connections, but she too had her own.
Once she had graduated, she would set up her own business. She did not require anyone’s help!
Not to mention, how can Gerald help her?
“Gerald, why don’t you stay for lunch? It just so happens that Leila’s friends are coming over, maybe you should join
along. Ah, I must’ve been so busy that I almost forgot, I’ve to prepare the meal!”
Leia said awkwardly.
Earlier on, she was trying to get Gerald out of her house, but her daughter ruined her plans. It would not look good
on her part.
If she did not ask him to stay for lunch, it might ruin a good impression of her.
“Yeah, you should stay, it’s good to meet more people!”
Willie Jung added nonchalantly.
Only Leila was looking a little displeased.
She only intended to invite her classmates over for lunch, but it was extremely awkward for a shabby-looking dude
who looked like he was from the countryside to join in for lunch.
But since it was her parents who had invited him, it was better for her to not say anything.
Her attitude towards Gerald grew much colder immediately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoon after, Leila’s classmates all arrived.
There were around seven or eight of them, men and women.
After chatting for a while, Leia had finished preparing the dishes.
Willie hurriedly greeted Leila’s classmates and showed them to their seats.
“Douglas, come sit next to me, you must drink with me today!”
Willie politely pulled Douglas’ arm and insisted on letting him sit next to him.
Douglas was a good-looking boy. Based on their earlier conversations, Gerald got to know that he seemed to be
quite a higher-class leader.
He was quite a capable person.
Yet, looking at Douglas, he seemed to have some interest in Leila.
Willie could not help but try to make Douglas develop a close relationship with his daughter. He was especially fond
and friendlier towards Douglas.
“Leila is lucky to have become good friends with you, it’s truly an honor for our Jung family! Look at Douglas, he’s
so talented and capable. Who knows which lucky lady is going to be with him in the future! That lady is for sure not
our Leila, I mean look at her, she’s still like a child, and she’s so far behind you!”
Willed joked.
“Mr. Jung, you must be joking! Leila is so beautiful, and she can be anyone’s girlfriend. That’s a blessing! Besides,
Leila told us that you were in the army, could it be that you’ve betrothed Leila to your comrade’s son? Haha!”
