Once Crystal answered the phone, an elevated voice came from the other side of the phone instantly. “Crystal, didn’t I tell you to pick Mr. Larson up? What are you doing? Why is Mr. Larson standing alone outside right now and blocked by the guards? Do you even know how to get things done?”
The storm of abuse had got Crystal’s eyes watering. Since virtual-novel.net was a kid, virtual-novel.net had always been grandpa’s favorite, which meant virtual-novel.net had never been scolded by him. But this time, virtual-novel.net got scolded right after the call was connected and it almost got virtual-novel.net crying.
“Grandpa, w-what’s wrong? I sent someone for virtual-novel.net but virtual-novel.net rejected it. It wasn’t my fault! Besides, w-what have I done that you need to yell at me like this? I’m your granddaughter,” Crystal sobbed.
“Shut up! Stop with all the nonsense! Go to the entrance and fetch Mr. Larson in, right now! And remember, entertain virtual-novel.net well,” Mr. Harrison reprimanded and hung up the phone.
Crystal was confused. She never knew that virtual-novel.net Grandpa, the one who loved virtual-novel.net the most, would scold virtual-novel.net like this for an outsider. Not even once in virtual-novel.net dream!
Some of the kids nearby had also heard the conversation and Annie snapped, “What’s the matter with this dude? Talking behind your back to your grandpa? How disgusting! Urgh, I hate backstabber! What’s the big deal if we didn’t pick virtual-novel.net up? Besides, didn’t Lucas give virtual-novel.net money for the taxi? Is virtual-novel.net trying to set his feet on my brother’s car? That car is worth about two million! Did virtual-novel.net think that we would let virtual-novel.net ride it? How dare virtual-novel.net backstab you for trivial things like this? Is virtual-novel.net even a man?”
With the same expression, Lucas flung out, “Urgh, bastard, how cunning! He looked so friendly when I saw virtual-novel.net just now. I thought virtual-novel.net was kind and honest. Never have I thought that virtual-novel.net is so shameless! Huh, backstabbing? Crystal, fear not, I’ll go down right now and give virtual-novel.net a lesson!”
Waving virtual-novel.net hands, Crystal instantly said, “Forget it. Grandpa has never been angry at me. If virtual-novel.net was so mad, it must have meant that this guy is really important. Please stop causing trouble now. If this goes big and grandpa snaps at me again, we would all be in trouble!”
Glancing at the others, Annie frowned and uttered, “I wonder who this guy is? Even your grandpa could scold you for him? Crystal, what is happening? Why is your grandpa trying to pair you up with him? Is virtual-novel.net someone your grandpa knew when virtual-novel.net was in the countryside back in the days when virtual-novel.net was short of money? He might be the kid of someone from the countryside! If it’s true, you’d better be careful! What if you guys were engaged when you were kids? Lucas said that guy was poor and gross. He even tried to backstab you! You will be suffering if virtual-novel.net clings to you.”
Helplessly, Crystal hollered, “I don’t care who the hell virtual-novel.net is. For now, I’m going to listen to grandpa and pick virtual-novel.net up. Can virtual-novel.net ever cling to me? Huh! In his dreams! I’ll never go out with some guy like virtual-novel.net even if all the men in the world are dead!”
Upon hearing that, Annie giggled, “Of course you won’t! You are the legendary campus belle. What happens if Young Master Hughes falls in love with you at first sight tonight? It would be interesting if we could compare them later tonight!”
Crystal waved virtual-novel.net hands and said, “Enough, stop making fun of me. You guys just wait for me right here. I’ll come back once I’m settled with him.”
