Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 560 Escape

"Let's talk about it later." Rae looked at him and her eyes flickered slightly. "Old Zeng, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you." The Barnwell Group had finally managed to get through this difficulty, which made Rae feel relieved. If not for Jackie Zeng's help, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Moreover, they should have a lot to say tonight and she didn't want to be a third wheel. When Jackie heard this, he smiled happily. "Alright, alright, alright. What do you want to eat?" As long as Rae did not leave or hide from him, he could do anything. "Let's find a place to drink. I wonder if that tavern is still open." Rae looked at the riverbank in the distance. "It's still open. I went there a few days ago."Jackie knew which one she was talking about. "It's been so many years, but you still remember it." Rae's eyes softened. "I won't forget what you like even in my next life." Jackie put on his seatbelt and stepped on the accelerator. What he did not know was that Rae had other plans. In the dead of the night, Rae returned to the Jones family with a strong scent of wine. She thought that there would be no one at home. At this time, Lyra should be at the Barnwell family. Unexpectedly, before she turned on the lights, the crystal chandelier in the Jones family's living room lit up. On the sofa in the living room, Lyra sat upright. "Aunt, were you trying to hide from me so you stayed outside until so late?" Rae's heart skipped a beat. "Lyra, you misunderstood me. Why should I hide from you? I met a few old friends and chatted until now." Rae pretended to be the same as usual and yawned as she walked into the room. However, as she walked, Lyra's gaze never left her. "Auntie, how did you meet Uncle Zeng?" Lyra asked. What should come had come. "We've known each other for many years. I really can't remember." Rae coughed lightly and turned around. Even now, she was still unwilling to tell the truth! "Then should I help you recall?" Lyra sighed helplessly. "You have known each other for sixteen years. It was because of him that you went to a foreign country." Rae's expression froze a little. "You already know, and you are still asking me?" "Auntie, you don't have to do this for me," Lyra said, pressing her forehead helplessly. In fact, what Lyra didn't understand was, in order to protect the Barnwell Group and the Jones Group, Rae had made such a great sacrifice. No matter what had happened in the past, Rae had been gone for so many years and had gotten married abroad. Now that she had returned home alone and had not contacted any old friends, it was enough to see that she did not want to have anything to do with this place. However, for them, she made an exception. Rae raised her head and met Lyra's gaze. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright. I just asked casually and he was willing to help. It's that simple." Since she had decided not to say anything, Lyra could only let it be. "Auntie, have a cup of sobering tea." Seeing that they had finished chatting, Hank came out of the kitchen. However, when Rae heard the way he addressed her, her beautiful eyes widened. "What did you call me?" she asked. "..." Before Hank could speak again, Rae had already started nagging in dissatisfaction. “Although I asked my old friend to invest in your company, it doesn't mean that I agree to your re-marriage." She drank the tea that Hank had brewed and

even took the fruit that Hank had washed, but she kept nagging about Hank. "You are lucky this time. If you become a pauper, I will never let Lyra associate with you again. Don't dream of becoming the Jones family's son-in-law. You are not worthy to be a gigolo." Rae said as she waved her hand. The smell of alcohol filled the room. "Aunt, you should go back to the room first." Hank frowned slightly. He did not want Lyra to faint from the smell. Rae yawned. "Okay, then I won't disturb you." She went upstairs with the fruit. Lyra sat on the sofa and sighed weakly. "In order to avoid being questioned, Aunt had actually made herself drunk." She was the only one who could come up with this idea. Hank naturally helped her peel the apple. "Everyone has a past that they don't want to mention. Perhaps, it would be better if we pretend that we don't know anything." Lyra knew the reason. If not for Jackie's ex-wife and daughter having come to her, she would not interfere with Rae's private life. After all, Rae was her elder and she had no right to criticize her. "Don't work too hard on this." Hank cut the apple into pieces and placed it in front of her. Then, he raised his watch. "You're already late today. You have another half an hour before going to bed." Lyra sighed helplessly. The next morning, Lyra was woken up by a ringtone. The person who called was Jackie's daughter, Leilani Zeng. As soon as the call connected, the other side cursed, "I don't care what methods you used. Return my dad's money to me immediately. Otherwise, you can just wait to receive the lawyer's letter!" Lyra pressed between her eyebrows. She had never expected that one day, she would be threatened like this. However, taking into consideration the other party's identity and Jackie's help to the Barnwell Group, she was still patient and said slowly, "Miss Zeng, I should have told you about this before. Uncle Zeng is just..." "My dad has nothing to do with you. It was your shameless aunt who deceived my dad's feelings. What project of yours is worth hundreds of millions?" The voice on the phone was very noisy. Although Lyra had just woken up, she was already a little dizzy from the noise. "Miss Zeng, if there is anything, come to the Barnwell Group to talk about it. If you call me again, I will find a lawyer to deal with it." "You..." Before Leilani finished, Hank hung up the phone directly. Lyra felt that the whole world was quiet. "You are good." "Let's eat first." Hank subconsciously helped her up, but just as his hand reached over, he found that her body was particularly hot. Then, he reached his hand to her forehead. "Put on your clothes and go to the hospital." "You don't have to make such a fuss, do you? I am hot because I just woke up." Lyra grabbed him with both hands.
