Chapter 195: Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Full of Enthusiasm Lucas knew that she was really not used to this place. He smiled and said, “If it is really uncomfortable, you can go downstairs and tell Mr. Meng. I think Mr. Meng will understand.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Emily nodded. When she was about to get up, she accidentally swept the cup on the table and wet her skirt.

Seeing this, Lucas immediately took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his suit and stepped forward. “I’ll help you.”

Unexpectedly, just as he approached, Emily took a step to the side and avoided him.

“I won’t trouble Mr. Greens. I’ll do it myself.” After that, she took a few pieces of paper from the coffee table and squatted down to wipe the water on her skirt. Lucas stood where he was, staring blankly at the woman’s movements. His brows furrowed imperceptibly. For some reason, he felt that Emily had been avoiding him just now. But he felt that he was overthinking things.

After all, Emily had no reason to do so, right? Emily did not know what he was thinking. After she tidied up her dress, she called Lucas downstairs. After they went down, the two of them found Elder Meng, but they saw want Charles Johnson’s family. They took William and Emma to greet Elder Meng with a respectful attitude. “Elder Meng, this is the chairman of the Armstrong Group, William, and my father-in-law. He has always admired you, and he has a lot of respect for your management philosophy.”

Charles Johnson introduced William to Elder Meng. “I’ve always hoped to meet Elder Meng and study from him. My dream has finally come true,” William said.

Emma also threw out some compliments. “I’ve always heard about Elder Meng’s deeds. Today, I finally see him in person.” As she spoke, she suddenly saw Emily standing in the crowd. Her expression changed immediately. Perhaps because she was too surprised, she forgot that this was Elder Meng’s birthday banquet. “Emily, why are you here?” she asked sharply.

Almost as soon as she said this, the others were attracted by the voice. Emily felt the probing gazes around her and frowned.

Before she could speak, she saw Emma walking towards her in high heels. “How did you get into Elder Meng’s birthday banquet? This is not a place you should come to.”

“If you can come, why can’t I come?”

Emily sneered and retorted. When William heard this, he frowned tightly, and there was obvious anger in his eyes. It was only because he had Elder Meng by his side that he didn’t berate her. On the other hand, when Elder Meng heard the conversation just now, he narrowed his eyes and turned to ask William, “What, you know Doctor Armstrong?” Hearing this, William was obviously stunned for a moment. Because he could clearly feel the intimacy between Elder Meng and Emily. He tilted his head and looked deeply at Emily. There was doubt in his eyes. He did not understand when this cheap girl met Elder Meng. However, this was good news for him. He could use his relationship with Emily to gain the support of the Meng family. Thinking of this, he suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and humbly said, “Sorry to let you see this, Elder Meng. This is my daughter. She was raised outside the family, and her personality is a bit wild.” He deliberately said the last words to explain why Emily had a bad attitude towards him and his wife just now. Elder Meng was a little surprised. He looked at him, then looked at Emily who was a few steps away. He said ‘oh’ and did not continue. When William saw Elder Meng’s attitude, he was a little confused for a moment. Was this Elder Meng close to Emily or did he not know her?

Just as he was thinking, Emily’s cold voice sounded in his ears. “Mr. Armstrong, don’t speak nonsense. I have had no father or mother since I was young. I’m an orphan. I don’t have a father like you!” After she finished speaking, Emily didn’t care how livid William’s face was. Her expression changed and she said gently to Old Meng, “Senior Meng, I come to say bye. It’s getting late.

The children at home are still waiting for me. I have to go back first.”

“Why are you in such a hurry? Stay a little longer.” Elder Meng immediately urged her to stay. As for Johnson family and William, he directly left them behind.

When Mr. Hawking learned that Emily was leaving, he also walked over and kindly urged her to stay. “Ms. Armstrong, stay a little longer. I will ask Greens family to send you back later.” “I can arrange for the driver to send you.” Elder Meng said, unwilling to fall behind. When the others saw this scene, they were all shocked. “What’s going on?” “This is the first time I’ve seen Elder Meng so close to a junior who is not a family member.”

“So what is the identity of this woman? Why is she favored by Elder Meng and Mr. Hawking?” At the same time, Charles Johnson’s family, William, and his wife looked at the scene in front of them and felt even worse. These two old men were big shots! Everyone had to curry favor from them. And just now, these two old men were still cold and indifferent to them. But now, these two old men were full of enthusiasm for Emily. Why!?
