Dowell immediately glanced at his friend's expression and saw that he was disappointed. He could only pretend to be relaxed and shrugged, and asked, "Do you have any plans?"
"Yeah." Elena said very easily: "Aunt Lan is looking for me."
Aunt Lan is Sai Lan.
The eldest daughter of the Theron family.
The mother of the illegitimate child.
Now he is the only surviving child of the ten elders.
Just because of this, Sailan's status on the island is extraordinary.
As soon as Elena mentioned her name, the young people became more cautious and silent, looking at each other.
Dowell couldn't invite him again, so he just laughed and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go play with them, and I'll invite you next time."
"Okay." Elena agreed readily.
"Young Master Ying." Dowell walked over and prepared to take his friend away.
Who knew that Ying Shi would shake off his hand expressionlessly and muffledly say, "I won't go either. I'll go home and sleep while you guys play."
"You fucking..." Dowell knew the reason why he didn't go. He saw from the corner of his eye that Elena hadn't gone far yet, so he suppressed his anger and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "You know it's impossible for her to be with you, is that interesting? If she doesn't want to go, then she doesn't have to go. Can you still catch up with her and go to see her fiancée with her?"
Ying Shi pushed his hand away. His tall and majestic figure was unapproachable and expressionless. He said coldly, "I just don't want to go. It has nothing to do with that!"
Dowell was pushed away by him twice in a row, and he lost his temper. He stopped trying to pull him back, and stood there with a sneer, saying, "OK, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
"let's go."
He called the people who were going to go, took one on each side, and left without looking back. Ying Shi stood there and watched them leave, without any reaction. He looked back at the direction the woman left, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and finally took his car keys, pursed his lips and left here silently.
…
After saying goodbye to Ying Shi and others, Elena got into her car, a black Maybach.
The driver carefully held the door with his hand, and after she got in, he went around to the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt.
The driver didn't dare to look back, and asked cautiously through the rearview mirror: "Miss, where are we going next?"
Elena was looking down at her phone. There was no message from Sai Lan, and no one was looking for her. It was as quiet as if she had never come back.
Elena's face suddenly turned pale. She put the phone heavily on the soft surface, raised her hand to press her brow bone, and didn't speak yet.
The cell phone next to her suddenly vibrated.
Elena took her hand away and picked up the phone to answer the call: “Hello, Mom.”
Mrs. Hill asked, "Baby, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Elena forced a smile and said, "Ying Shi and the others asked me out for dinner. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I went out to meet them."
"Him?" Mrs. Hill said with disdain, "His grandmother is the right-hand man of the Ten Elders. You will need him when you take over the Theron Family in the future. If he is willing to pursue you, you can give him some sweet treats... But baby, you have to know the limits. Such a man is not worthy of you! You can give him some sweet treats to keep him hooked, but don't be foolish and fall for someone like him."
"I know, Mom." Elena listened absent-mindedly, her ears were callused.
She had grown up listening to Mrs. Hill's rhetoric, and it was inevitable that she would feel restless and irritable when she heard it again when she was in a bad mood.
