"Ivani, don't be so rude~"

Manny seemed to see Lin Zitan's embarrassment, and hurriedly scolded him without waiting for him to speak.

"Ivani ~ It's not like this, he doesn't have it ~"

Emma had also followed Ivani out of the bedroom, and as soon as she spoke, she was defending her man.

"Didn't you say he wouldn't let you go to work?"

Ivani turned his head to look at Emma incomprehensibly.

"You haven't heard me yet!"

Emma hurriedly explained the reason why Lin Zitan didn't let her go to work.

"What is confinement? I haven't heard of it, but a month is too exaggerated, isn't it? If you stay at home for a month, I'll shut down the studio. Ivani threatened.

"Oops, Manny, look at her!"

Emma couldn't help but ask for help from Manny, who was sitting there calmly.

"Then it's closed, your boyfriend just said he was going to give you 50 boutiques!"

Manny raised his eyes and looked at Lin Zi, who was smiling lightly on the other side.

"What 50 boutiques? Isn't he an estate agent?"

Ivani said in surprise.

"I acquired a company some time ago, but ...... How did you know Amanda?"

Lin Zi turned around and finally asked Manny the question in his heart.

"Who doesn't know that woman in the circle, famous for her cunning and treachery, her 50 boutiques are still ......"

Manny...... Enough!" Emma stopped suddenly.

"I don't mean to offend you, I just want to say that since those 50 boutiques are now in the hands of your man, why don't you leave them to take care of it? Manny continued.

"I've said enough~" Emma's little face changed slightly.

"Manny, you seem to be hiding something from me?"

Ivani looked at Manny in shock as he paced back and forth between Emma and his girlfriend's faces.

Lin Zitan didn't know why Emma was suddenly so excited about Manny's words, but he immediately stood up and walked to Emma's side.

"What's going on? Delay, don't you dare to make Emma angry!"

At this time, Lin Zitan's grandmother suddenly walked out of the baby room and said nervously.

"Oh, grandma, I'm not angry, I'm just ...... Somewhat...... Excited, don't worry~"

Emma saw that her grandmother was so nervous, and hurriedly walked up to help her old man.

"Huh, these two are...... Emma's friend, didn't you come to visit her, and why did you upset my granddaughter-in-law when you came?"

The old lady guarded Emma.

“What?“

Manny and Ivani are not very proficient in Chinese, so the old lady said such a long list of words, and the two of them were stunned that they didn't understand,

But when I looked at the old lady's posture, she seemed to treat the two of them as bad people, and she was stunned.

"Hehe~ Grandma, the two of them are my friends, we were joking just now!"

Emma immediately took her grandmother's hand and walked to the sofa.

Emma explained to her grandmother that her friend wanted her to go to work early, and explained to Ivani about Chinese customs, and finally solved the misunderstanding on both sides.

Emma stayed at home for almost 20 days, and in the end, Lin Zitan couldn't resist her, so she had to agree to let her go to work.

But since Manny left that day, Lin Zitan began to ask people to investigate the business situation of Emma's current studio and the connection between Amanda and Emma, but no matter what relationship he used,

I didn't find out what connection Emma had with these 50 boutiques, but he found out some of Emma's mother's past, and it turned out that those 50 boutiques used to sell Emma's mother's own brand.

Later, after the death of Emma's mother, all 50 stores were replaced by Amanda for other luxury brands.

-------------------------

Because of the death of Emma's mother, Lin Zitan couldn't find out the real entanglement between them, but Manny said that Emma's studio didn't make money.

Over the years, Emma and Ivani have been working hard to create their own brands, and Lin Zitan had no idea that there were so many studios opened by unknown designers in New York.

Every time Emma went out to participate in an exhibition or something, he thought that someone had ordered their designs to let them exhibit, and it turned out that the reason why they were so keen to participate in the exhibition was to make their designs appear in the public eye.

On this day, Lin Zitan called Eric directly after Emma went to work, and he felt that since Manny said that everyone in the circle knew,

So as for Eric, who collects all kinds of gossip information from the upper class, he must have heard about Emma's mother.

"Hey, Eric, are you free? I'd like to ask you about something. "Lin Zitan is straight to the point.

"Are you at home?Okay, I'll go up to you later, you come down?oh~Hehe, don't be so polite, right?really don't, thank you~"

Lin Zitan still had a smile on the corner of his mouth when he hung up the phone, because Eric said that he was very envious that he had a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses all of a sudden, which really made him very proud.

In fact, Eric is three or five years older than Lin Zitan, but I don't know why, Lin Zitan has never seen Eric date or get close to any woman, but he knows very well,

Eric shouldn't be G, and judging by his sarcastic attitude towards William and James, he is probably still the kind of person who is anti-gay.

"Ding Dong ~ Ding Dong ~"

Just about ten minutes later, Lin Zitan's doorbell rang, and he hurriedly walked to the door to take a look at the surveillance, it was indeed Eric, and he also held a small dark green paper bag in his hand.

"I said I don't need to bring gifts, they're so small~" Lin Zitan said politely while opening the door.

"Girls have to be spoiled since they were young, and it happened that someone sent it some time ago, and I don't have a girlfriend, so it's good for your daughter!"

Eric walked inside as he handed the paper bag to Lin Zitan and said casually.

If it was said that in the past, Lin Zitan really didn't know much about jewelry, but recently he has been learning about Emma's own brand, so he has some understanding of luxury jewelry.

Lin Zitan saw the white letters Van Cleef & Arpels printed on the box, and immediately knew that it was a four-leaf clover Van Cleef & Arpels.

But when I think of his luxury car of more than $50 million, this small piece of jewelry is nothing, not to mention that every time I go to Eric's place, I carry a bottle of wine in my hand for tens of thousands, so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

----------------------

"You say Emma's mother is Kate, how is that possible? They don't look like each other at all, right?"

Eric said immediately after listening to Lin Zitan's words.

"Because Emma is a quarter Chinese, it's not that similar!"

Lin Zitan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"But no, do you know who Kate is?" said Eric, incredulously.

"Who is it, isn't it the genius designer who passed away?" Lin Zitan wondered.

"No, do you remember Frank, it's the ...... of the ex-girlfriend who fought with Leo for you," Eric said excitedly.

"Remember, what's wrong?" Lin Zi wondered.

"So it's possible that your girlfriend is Frank's cousin?

But Kate is a native of the United States, and their family has no Chinese ancestry! Could it be that Emma was adopted by them?"

Eric still found it incredible, he had seen Emma so many times, but he had never thought that Emma was from the Frank family.

When Lin Zitan first met Johnson Sr., he also had a slight suspicion that Emma might have been adopted by their family.

But since he met Emma's father in China, he hasn't thought about it that way.

"No, Emma is Frank's cousin, I'm sure she's not adopted, because she's still very similar to her father, and her grandmother is Chinese. Lin Zi was determined.
