The girl stared at Gerald, virtual-novel.net eyes filled with curiosity.
To be honest, virtual-novel.net was somewhat looking down at Gerald when virtual-novel.net saw the ordinary clothes Gerald was wearing. His sense of fashion was a bit countryside-like.
When they heard of virtual-novel.net question.
There was a minute of awkwardness between Willie and Leia.
Especially Leia.
It was just a second ago that Willie said virtual-novel.net had an urgent matter to handle and virtual-novel.net would be having a meeting soon. They were hoping Gerald would not stay for lunch.
And then virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net must be Gerald, right?”
The 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 virtual-novel.net came to virtual-novel.net house as a child, Leila would point at Gerald with a disgusted face, “Mom, ask virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net hand while smiling gingerly, but deep inside, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net too had virtual-novel.net own.
Once virtual-novel.net had graduated, virtual-novel.net would set up virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net was trying to get Gerald out of virtual-novel.net house, but virtual-novel.net daughter ruined virtual-novel.net plans. It would not look good on virtual-novel.net part.
If virtual-novel.net did not ask virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net classmates over for lunch, but it was extremely awkward for a shabby-looking dude who looked like virtual-novel.net was from the countryside to join in for lunch.
But since it was virtual-novel.net parents who had invited him, it was better for virtual-novel.net to not say anything.
Her attitude towards Gerald grew much colder immediately.
Soon 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 virtual-novel.net sit next to him.
Douglas was a good-looking boy. Based on their earlier conversations, Gerald got to know that virtual-novel.net seemed to be quite a higher-class leader.
He was quite a capable person.
Yet, looking at Douglas, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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!”
