Wherever John went, Henry would always be there.
Jas stood up, wiping the water from his face.
He saw Henry staring back at him.
Henry nodded at Jas, then turned to John who was in the back seat. "Mr. Shi, Miss Lu is with Mr. Jas Shi and he has spotted ."
John raised his eyebrows, but it didn't wipe the exhausted look from his face. His eyes were bloodshot and it looked like he hadn't had much rest.
He regretted leaving Nina by herself in the middle of nowhere last night. That place was essentially deserted with no life in sight, let alone a taxi. She was such a beautiful girl. What would have happened if she t so bad guy?
He had asked Henry to drive back and send Nina back ho. However, as soon as they returned, John saw her get in a taxi.
It was so late though, how were there still taxis around in this remote place?
Seeing the taxi leave with Nina in it made John's head feel hot. He had an urge to buy the taxi company and fire the taxi driver.
When he finally got ho and went to bed, he tossed and turned all night long.
He was riddled with the thoughts of their etings—the romantic night, the slap, the argunts and even the violence.
She called him "Uncle" in a soft voice and even called him "honey" once. His heart pounded in his chest just thinking of Nina.
The room was a ss. The rising sun revealed the cigarette buds scattered over the floor. This was the first night in his life that he didn't even get a wink of sleep.
As soon as John arrived at the company in the morning, Alia, the chairman of Fang Group, was waiting at the door to apologize. She begged him to give the Zhang family a chance and explained to him why Isabella used Jas.
John, however, was angrier upon hearing what she had to say.
He didn't like the fact that Jas was used, but the thing made him fuming mad was Alia slandering Nina.
All in all her attempts amounted to nothing but failure. The Zhang family couldn't be saved, and John was still going to deal with Fang Group. However, the Fang Group didn't belong to Alia alone, and the other shareholders would try to save the group. The Zhang family, on the other hand, was going to be bankrupt in a few days.
John did all of this for Nina.
Knowing that John hadn't slept the entire night, Henry reminded his boss that he might be in love with Nina.
John initially took it as a joke, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized it was true.
John then went to L University and happened to see Nina spit water on Jas' face.
She was really sothing else. She had no fear.
For a mont, John seed to be rejuvenated.
"Mr. Shi, should I call Miss Lu over here?" Henry's voice brought him back to reality.
"Not yet." He was hesitant because he wasn't really sure what to say to her.
He wanted to make out with her.
But she was on her period, so it was better that he didn't et with her.
Henry was a little surprised. John left all his work and took a trip to the university just to look at Nina?
What happened?
He should just take her to his place, right?
However, it seed that Jas was about to co here with Nina anyway.
"Senior, let's go. I'll treat you to dinner today!" Jas said excitedly, forgetting what Nina had just done.
He had to create an opportunity for John and Nina to see each other.
"Dinner? Bring with you too," Michelle replied quickly. As long as there was food involved, she was always the first to respond.
"Dinner?" Nina asked. What was wrong with Jas? Why did he want to buy her dinner? It was never a good idea to entertain his antics.
Since last night where Jas snatched John's phone, Nina was on her guard. She didn't trust him and shot glances at him, doubting his every move.
She looked at his wet face and said, "Are you out of your mind?"
Jas was a little embarrassed now.
He wasn't expecting that type of reaction.
So people around
them burst into laughter. They were all very familiar with Nina and Jas. They didn't believe that Nina and Jas were a couple, but now they thought they were wrong.
Who would dare spit water on his face? Who would disrespect him like that?
It could only be Nina.
What she said made sense. Jas was probably out of his mind. Even though she clearly had no respect for him, he still invited her out.
"Why are you laughing?" Jas couldn't be angry with her. She would be his aunt in the future.
He could yell at these other bystanders though. They ant absolutely nothing to him. He was doing them a favor by just gracing them with his presence, in his eyes anyway.
Everyone stopped laughing and lowered their head timidly.
"Oh, don't worry about them. Let's go to have dinner. Mr. Shi, what do you want to get?" Michelle asked.
"You have to ask Nina. I'm inviting her."
"Nini likes seafood. That is her favorite I think. We can go eat so crabs. What do you think, Nini?" Michelle walked up to Nina and held her arm. She smiled, revealing her white teeth.
Nina really felt a warm feeling creep over her heart as if it was about to lt. She had friends before like Isabella that had no idea that she loved seafood. Even Albert, who had always been considerate and gentle, didn't know that she liked seafood.
How did Michelle know?
"You're not Nina. How do you know she likes seafood?" Jas asked Michelle, annoyed.
Michelle said confidently, "Of course I know. Every ti I have dinner with Nini, she has to have so form of seafood on her plate, sotis lobster, sotis squid, and sotis scallop. Anyway, the point is that she loves seafood.
Well, she only order a kind of seafood each other because..." Michelle turned to look at Nina with tenderness in her eyes. She thought, 'Because Nini is poor, so she always tries to save money.'
She stopped herself because she couldn't tell Jas that. He would probably look down on her for it.
With her right hand holding Nina's arm and her left hand clutching Jas' clothes, Michelle was ready to leave. "So we're going to eat seafood. We can go to the seafood buffet."
Seeing Michelle's expression, Nina knew what she was thinking. She knew that Michelle thought she was too poor. She made that sympathetic face quite often.
She didn't know what to say for a mont. She was a bit flustered.
"Alright, let's go." Nina walked arm in arm with Michelle gleefully. She knew that she probably wanted to eat seafood too.
Jas was elated. He took out his phone and began dialing soone.
"I'll make a call and book a table at the Seafood Restaurant for us."
"Great! Apparently all their seafood is imported from C Island. It's possibly the freshest in the city, and the chefs are incredible. We have to go there. The interesting thing about the Seafood Restaurant is that it is owned by the Shi family. Hurry up and make the call!"
Just talking about the C Island stunned Nina. For a mont she was in a complete daze.
When Jas dialed the number, John's low and hoarse voice ca from the other end of the line. "What's up? If you're going to waste my ti, I'm going to hang up."
"Oh, Uncle John, please don't. Nina wants seafood so we want to go to the Seafood Restaurant. Please may you book us a table?" With his back to Nina, Jas smiled sinisterly.
He covered his mouth and whispered into the phone, "Uncle John, don't say that I never help you."
A glimr of light suddenly appeared in John's eyes. He said to Henry, "Go to the Seafood Restaurant."
Jas was relieved. They hopped in his dazzling Ferrari and drove to the Seafood Restaurant.
As soon as the car stopped at the door of the Seafood Restaurant, they t John who got out of his Bentley.
"Nini, your uncle is also here!" Michelle pressed her face against the window and pointed at the man in a black suit.
His steely and charming profile was difficult to miss.
