Chapter 728: To Make Her Feel at Ease
It's hard for me to imagine that the man in front of me who confessed to Yuan Yue affectionately was Mr. John, a business tycoon in the United States.
I have no doubt about his sincerity, because in his capacity, he is willing to kneel in public to propose, and he also put on such a big battle, which is enough to explain everything.
Yuan Yue was already moved, but she was inexplicably reserved: "I can do the flowers, but I have to think about the ring." β
The people who made the coax were a little disappointed, but Mr. John happily picked up the flowers and handed them to Yuan Yue.
He stood up, without the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, and muttered to himself as he tucked the ring back into his pocket: "It's okay, as long as you don't drive me away, I'm willing to wait for you slowly." β
The marriage proposal was over, and the bodyguards brought by John dispersed everyone, opened the car door and asked Yuan Yue to get in the car.
They rarely saw each other, there must have been a lot to talk about, I didn't want to be a light bulb, turned around and was about to walk to my own car, but was stopped by a bodyguard.
"Miss Ruan Shi, our husband invites you to get in the car."
This put me in a dilemma, and I was about to make an excuse to refuse, when I heard Mr. John ask behind meβ
"There's something new about Alice, don't you want to know?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then turned to see John looking at me with a solemn look in his eyes.
I hesitated, and Yuan Yue nodded at me, motioning for me to promise John.
I got off and got into John's car.
There's a lot of space inside the car and there's a small coffee table.
A person of status like John, who has countless cars and houses in his name, is worth far more than us.
Such a man is willing to pursue Yuan Yue across the ocean, put down his figure, and obey her, which is enough to see his sincerity.
I thought to myself, as long as Yuan Yue is happy.
John didn't go around in circles and directly brought up his investigation into Alice's situation.
"I searched carefully in the United States, and Alice is indeed in the United States, and she has even a close relationship with the head of an underground organization in the United States, and it was the people of this organization who smuggled her out of the country."
I was awe-inspiring in my heart, I thought that Alice's backer was only Wu Meixin, but I definitely didn't expect that there was someone behind her.
Alice has become a wanted criminal in China because of her involvement in the trade of illegal drugs, and an international arrest warrant has been issued on it, even if she has fled to the United States, she does not dare to show her true face.
But because of this, Alice will definitely not hate me less than Wu Meixin.
After years of forbearance and sacrifice, Alice will certainly be angry when she has fallen into the clouds, and I am even more worried that she will secretly retaliate against me.
I frowned and pondered how to be guarded, and Mr. John spoke to comfort me: "You are Yuan Yue's best friend, she is worried about your safety, and I will naturally not ignore it." So don't worry, although Alice's people have hid in the United States, I have already put my eyes on it, and if she dares to get out of the shelter of the underground block, my people will work with Interpol to catch her. β
With Mr. John's words, I felt a lot more at ease, and I was sincerely grateful: "Mr. John, I am really grateful that you are willing to help me one after another. β
"You don't have to be grateful." Mr. John turned his head to look at Yuan Yue, "All I did was just to make Yuan Yue feel at ease, otherwise she would always be unwilling to stay by my side with peace of mind." β
Yuan Yuejiao glared at him with disgust, indicating that she was going to my place to eat hot pot and make a lot of fun.
"I've come all the way to find you, and you're going to leave me alone in the hotel as soon as you accept my flowers?" Mr. John actually sold pity in front of Yuan Yue.
Yuan Yue deliberately looked at me, "Then it depends on whether our poetry is willing to entertain you." β
I was stunned for a moment, and said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, I just wanted to cook a hot pot at home to make a scene, but I was afraid that I would not take good care of Mr. John." β
"Hot pot is good! I like hot pot the most. Mr. John was full of interest and directly concluded: "Then I will go to Mr. Ruan's for dinner tonight." I heard that you and Jorel are godbrothers and sisters, and I and Jorel are also old acquaintances, and even if you are half an older brother, you won't turn me away, right? β
I was surprised that there was still such a relationship between Mr. John and Jorel. But thinking about it, Jorel is also a well-known figure in the upper class of the United States, and his identity is not inferior to Mr. John.
"As long as Mr. John does not dislike it, I am naturally honored to entertain you."
My cautious and polite words only made Mr. John dissatisfied.
He looked at me, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I still like the arrogance you had when you defended Yuan Yue when I first met you. I'd rather not want the evidence in my hands than let Yuan Yue come to my side, for fear that she would be wronged. β
I smiled and said nothing, I didn't know Mr. John's personality at the beginning, but even though I knew that Mr. John would not treat Yuan Yue lightly, I would not use Yuan Yue to make transactions.
In the evening, I called Su Yu and Qiao Na, and everyone got together to have a good time, which can be regarded as completely relaxing everyone's tense nerves for Xixi during this time.
Mr. John knows the relationship between Su Yu and Yuan Yue, and is grateful to Su Yu for taking care of Yuan Yue over the years, and chatting with Su Yu is also like acquaintance at first sight.
They talked about business at home and abroad with Li Yunzhou, and Qiao Na dragged Yuan Yue to gossip about her long-standing relationship with Mr. John.
After dinner, Mr. John said goodbye and went back to the hotel, and I took the initiative to say, "I'll send you." β
Li Yunzhou wanted to follow, but I stopped him with his eyes.
I personally sent Mr. John out, and when I got to the gate of the villa, Mr. John had already guessed what I was thinking.
"You took the initiative to send me, do you have something to say to me?"
I paused, with a serious expression, and asked him seriously: "Mr. John, your deep affection for your deceased wife is well known, and you asked Yuan Yue to stay by your side to take care of you in the first place, because her appearance reminded you of your deceased wife. Do you really know your feelings in your heart? I don't want Yuan Yue to be a substitute. β
My questioning did not upset Mr. John, who smiled at the corners of his lips as if he remembered something.
"In fact, compared with my deceased wife, Yuan Yue just looks a little alike, and her personality is completely different. My deceased wife and I have experienced too many hardships, and she has never left me to take care of me when I was in the poorest place, but she has not lived many happy days with me, so I have been thinking about her for so many years, and I also feel indebted. But Yuan Yue is different. β
When it comes to Yuan Yue, Mr. John's eyes are flashing with joy, "Don't look at her cold appearance, she always likes to carry everything by herself, but sometimes she is like a child, and people can't help but want to love her and take care of her." β
Mr. John looked serious and assured me word by word: "I love Yuan Yue, and I want to heal her unfortunate first half of life." I hope to make her down-to-earth and be herself in front of me. For me, she's not a replacement, she's just Yuan Yue. β
