Chapter 247: Old John's counterattack
After completing the formalities with Xiao Ping in the city, Jessica will go to the bank in San Antonio to repay the bank loan owed by her father. Xiao Ping didn't have anything else to do anyway, so he went with Jessica, just to enjoy the scenery along the way. Anyway, if you are accompanied by beautiful women along the way, you won't feel lonely.
When Jessica handed the check for $3.3 million to the bank manager, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. From this moment on, my father's trouble was completely solved, and I didn't have to worry about it anymore. However, she thought that the ranch named after her mother belonged to someone else from now on, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. After all, it carries many memories of Jessica's childhood and adolescence, and it is a very special place for her.
Xiao Ping also sensed Jessica's change in mood and gently hugged her shoulders to show comfort. Feeling this man's concern for her, Jessica's heart felt a little better. To her satisfaction, she was at least able to find a good owner for the ranch. It would be much better to put Xiao Ping in charge of the future of the ranch than to sell it to Old John.
While Jessica's mood gradually calmed down, Old John was furious in the office. After two years of painstaking planning, he finally tricked old Taylor into the trap of Emerald. In order to convince Taylor that emeralds are indeed a good business, John Sr. also invested a lot of money in emeralds. Seeing that everything was about to succeed, Taylor's father and daughter had almost been forced to a dead end, but I don't know where a Chinese appeared from the road and ruined everything he planned to do!
The supplier of Lilian Ranch had already released the rumors, and the check written by the Chinese named Xiao Ping was no problem at all. Everyone has already gotten their money. We are discussing the continuation of the supply to the ranch.
What made Old John even more angry was that his friends in the city had heard the news that Xiao Ping and Jessica had actually completed the transfer of the ranch! This dashed his last hope, and he knew that he had lost the opportunity to get his hands on Lilian's ranch forever.
After two years of layout, more than 100,000 dollars of investment, and nothing except the label of a villain, this almost made Old John crazy. His heart was full of thoughts of revenge. Let that Chinese suffer a little. However, Old John engaged in trickery and trickery, and asked him to really deal with someone or even fight and kill, Old John definitely didn't have the courage to do so. Old John walked around the office frantically. When his eyes fell on Willy, who was working outside, there was a smug look in his little eyes.
Old John stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Willie, come in." ”
"Good boss!" replied Willy, in a gruff voice. Throw the heavy object you are carrying to the ground with a "bang". Even Old John, who was in the house, felt the ground shake slightly, which showed how heavy Willie was carrying.
Willie is a tall, muscular young man with a strong physique on par with an action star. He strode into the office, and while relaxing his bulging muscles, he asked Old John, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
"Jessica is back, do you know?" said Old John with a look of concern, "But I heard that she was involved with a Chinese boy, and the two seem to be very close......
When Willie was the captain of the Wharton High School football team, he once pursued the beautiful Jessica. Although Jessica has never accepted Willie for so many years, he still thinks that only he is worthy of the beautiful Miss Texas. So after listening to Old John's words, Willie was furious, clenched his fists and said loudly: "Impossible. Jessica doesn't fall in love with anyone else!"
Seeing that Willy was really enraged, Old John was also secretly happy. He couldn't help but laugh, but said with a worried look, "Maybe, but I heard that the Chinese kid has been showing kindness to Jessica, and helped her pay the bill for Lillian's ranch yesterday! I accepted the Chinese boy!"
"This can't be!" Willie cried out through gritted teeth, "The woman who dares to touch me!"
Old John was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he said with a worried expression: "Willy, don't be impulsive, this will not be good for you!"
Willy was originally a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs, but now his anger has been stirred up. How could you still listen to Old John's advice? Willy waved his hand to show that old John was not in charge of this matter, and then shook his hand and walked out of his office.
Watching the angry Willie leave, Old John said to himself proudly, "Chinese...... If you ruin my plan, you will have to pay some price!"
While John Sr. is plotting against Xiao Ping, he and Jessica are on their way back to Wharton. When the two returned to Wharton, it was already getting dark. The town's restaurants and bars are lit up neon-lit at the door, beckoning customers to come and go. Jessica then remembered that Xiao Ping had been running with him all day, and couldn't help but say to him a little apologetically: "Thank you for accompanying me today, I'll invite you to dinner." ”
"How can I let you have a treat!" Xiao Ping said with a smile: "I don't know if I have this honor, invite you to dinner, beautiful young lady?"
Jessica was amused by Xiao Ping's words, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll give you a chance." ”
Of course, there are no fine dining restaurants in a small town like Wharton, and the taverns serve all local food with a Texas flavor. But for Jessica, the food served here is full of the taste of home, so she is used to seeing the world, but she also eats deliciously. And Xiao Ping is not a picky person, although he has a lot of tastes in recent months, he is also acceptable to the food here, and eats faster than Jessica.
The two chatted as they ate, and soon the food on their plates was almost wiped out. Towards the end of dinner, Jessica asked Xiao Ping seemingly casually, "What are you going to do when you buy the ranch?"
"Of course it's grazing, raising some cattle and sheep. Xiao Ping said unabashedly: "By the way, I also plan to open up some fields near the river to grow vegetables or something." You know how popular those vegetables are, and I think it's the same in the United States. ”
Xiao Ping's arrangement was not at all expected by Jessica, in fact, she really cared about another thing. The American chick hesitated for a while, and then made up her mind: "You said yesterday that you would register a trademark in the United States, so the ranch you bought ...... Will it also be renamed the Holy Pot Ranch?"
