YM778.TV Chapter 645 Lunch
The Villain’s Wife 645 Lunch
"I gained a lot of weight. So they needed to do some last minute changes to the dress that I chose." Lily said after sitting on the front seat of the car. "But it’s all good. So... we will get ready in the hotel where the awards will be held?"
"Yes, everything is prepared. We should get there around one for the makeup and clothes so we will have a lot of time to take some pictures as the awards will start at six in the evening." He answered before leaning in to kiss her. Today, they chose to have the car for themselves while their security was following them in another car. Since it was a holiday, both Lily and Zhou Jingren gave their secretaries a break. He started driving towards Grandmother Ye’s house.
"Did you ask someone to bring food to grandma’s house? I mean for lunch. I am really hungry."
"I bought some snacks for you at the back. Lin Siyang, his brother and Chef Yang should be there waiting for us at the house." He answered, his eyes still on the road. Lily beamed in response.
"Thank you." She uttered before reaching out for the snacks that he had bought for her. Seeing that they were some nuts, pickled snacks and some dried fruits, Lily could not help but shake her head inwardly. Zhou Jingren was really someone who would look out for her health. While she... she had been craving for junk food lately.
She wanted some fries, chicken and burgers. However, she knew that her husband would not let her feast on such things. Maybe one or two but he would not allow her to eat that kind of food everyday. Of course, this was not a problem. Lily understood his concern towards her health. In fact, she was grateful to have someone as caring as this man.
Lily started eating the dried fruits. Not long after, Lily and Zhou Jingren arrived at the peak and made their way to Grandma Ye’s house.
"What is going on?" Lily frowned when she saw Chef Yang outside of the house, his hands on his waist as he talked to four people in front of him. When Chef Yang spotted their car, an obvious relief flashed across his face. He then instructed Lin Luyang, who was standing behind him to open the gates for them.
Their arrival also got the attention of the people that Chef Yang was talking to. After parking, the duo instantly got out of their car and walked hand in hand towards Chef Yang.
"What is going on here?" Zhou Jingren asked.
"Master... these people told us that they are here to see the house." Chef Yang said. "They showed us some paperwork that says they are allowed to do so as the house is already in the market."
"Which house?" Lily asked.
"This house. It has been on the market since last week. We are here to have a viewing but this man here is not letting us through. We have already called the police as these people could not show any proof that they own this house. They are trespassing." A man wearing a black suit said. He furrowed his brows as he glared at Chef Yang and Lin Luyang.
"And... who are you?" Lily asked.
"My bad, I am Lao Chenggu, I am a real estate manager. My people called me today since they cannot get inside the property with their clients."
"I see. Mr. Lao. I own this property and It is not for sale." Lily answered. She stared at the Mercedes that was parked a few meters away from them. By the looks of it, the ’client’ that they were talking about should be inside the car watching them.
"Well that is simply a lie. This property is for sale and— "
"I am Lily Zhou and I own this property." Lily interrupted, irritation flashed in her eyes. "Whoever told you that this is for sale is lying."
"But— "
The man did not continue his words when he saw two tall men who stood behind Zhou Jingren and Lily. He swallowed his saliva. In front of brute force, they are obviously powerless as they are small and skinny. "Then... we will wait for the police officer to clarify everything." He chided. He then eyed the Mercedes behind them before he instructed his people to call the police and ask them where they were.
"You know... it would be easier if you just let us in. A lawsuit would be a waste of time for all of us." He uttered.
"True. This is nothing but a waste of time." Zhou Jingren said as he turned to Lily. "Let’s go inside." Why would they waste their time talking to these clowns? His wife was already hungry. Her food should be their priority. He then shifted his gaze towards Chef Yang. "She’s hungry. Is the food ready."
"Yes Master."
"Then... let these people wait here. Let’s go inside."
"Oi! How could you do that? We don’t even know if you are truly the owner of this place! You can’t go inside— "
"Why do we have to prove to you that we own this place Lily fired back. "Are you someone significant?"
"Alright..." Zhou Jingren stroked her back. "Let’s go inside so you can eat." Zhou Jingren had been around Lily this whole time. It was enough time for him to learn that pregnancy and hunger should not come together.
At the mention of food, Lily instantly nodded before glaring at Mr. Lao. The couple was about to walk towards the gates when they heard someone clear their throat.
"Excuse me." A woman said. "Excuse me... are you Mr. And Mrs. Zhou?"
Zhou Jingren was not planning to stop walking, however, Lily was different. She halted her steps, prompting her husband to stop walking. She then turned towards the older woman that looked oddly similar to Adalind Brooke.
Seeing them stop walking, the woman smiled. "Hi, I am Charlotte Swanson. I am sure you know my daughter, Adalind?" She turned towards the brunette standing next to her. "This is the current Mrs. Brooke, Eleonor Brooke, Adalind’s stepmother and I am her biological mother. Would you mind speaking with us for a few minutes?"
"Yes. I mind." Lily answered without batting an eyelid. "I need to have my lunch." She added.
