Chapter 480
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 480
By the time Gerald was done settling the houseâs payment, it was already close to noon and Xeno made sure Gerald was aware of this by constantly calling him.
After hurrying back to his hotel room to change into some better clothes, Gerald immediately headed for a restaurant called Johnsbury Bistro.
While he was on his way there, Xeno and Sienna were already at the restaurant.
Three other people were in the private room with them.
One of them was Siennaâs colleague while the other two were the girl who was going to be Geraldâs blind date today as well as her mother.
The girl had long, black hair, and her skin was very fair. She looked both delicate and beautiful.
However, her looks dictated her behavior as she seemed cold and her head was lowered most of the time as she constantly looked through her WeChat.
Her mother, on the other hand, was a plump middle-aged woman with tattooed eyebrows that looked similar to caterpillars. Contrasting her daughter, she looked rather sturdy and even formidable.
âGeraldâs a very nice person, and weâre not praising him for the sake of it either. Youâll know what we mean when you meet later. What more, he graduated from a prestigious university and heâs quite handsome as well! Heâs started looking for a job and I heard that heâs aiming to work for a public office.
Donât let that get your hopes down, though. He recently just bought a house in Serene County!â
explained Sienna as they waited.
Though Sienna had some resentment for Gerald in recent years, she wasnât always like that. She used to have a good relationship with him during junior high due to him constantly being around Xeno.
The slight hatred only began because of the incident that had caused Xeno to be expelled back then.
However, the resentment she had for him had now dissipated after the events of this morning.
She was now sincerely worried for Gerald as well, and she wanted to do all she could to help him.
âWell, how big is the house that he bought? If it has less than three rooms, can it even be considered to be a house? There must be at least three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms!â asked the girl as she finally raised her head.
âWell wouldnât you know it? His new house fits your bare minimum! Haha!â replied Xeno.
âWell, what about his car? What car is he driving now?â
This time, it was her mother who asked.
âOh, he doesnât have a car yet. But you know, cars arenât worth that much money in the first place!â
replied Xeno.
Her mother coughed before saying, âWell, you see, having a house or a car isnât the most important thing to us. We just hope that heâs an honest man! I wonât accept a man who only likes to brag and talk big!â
âOh, you can be assured that that guyâs the most honest man on the planet! We grew up together so weâre more than certain about his personality,â replied Sienna.
While everyone was chatting, Gerald finally opened the door and entered the room.
âGerald! There you are! Come over here quickly so that I can introduce you to them!â said Xeno with a smile as he began introducing the two parties to one another.
The girlâs mother scanned Gerald from head to toe and she could sense that he really did look and feel like an honest person.
She could breathe a bit easier knowing that.
The dishes arrived soon after and both parties talked to each other as they ate their lunch.
âYou know, theyâre really taking their sweet time to serve the last dish! Iâm going to go over and ask them about it!â said Siennaâs colleague as she stood up. She secretly winked at Sienna and Xeno.
âYeah, I think Iâll join you,â said Sienna. Xeno excused himself to go to the bathroom as well.
Before Xeno left the room with the other two, he patted Gerald on the shoulder and gave him a secret thumbs-up. He closed the door of the private room, leaving only Gerald, the girl, and her mother inside.
Seeing that everyone else had left, the middle-aged woman wiped her mouth with a paper towel.
âSo, Gerald, right? Weâve heard about all the good things about you from your good friends. I personally think that youâre quite an honest person. Tell me, what do you think about my daughter?â
asked the woman.
Of course he was honest. This was his first time partaking in a blind date event. What more, the woman looked extremely fierce! She also hadnât said much since Gerald arrived.
âSheâs not bad!â replied Gerald.
At that moment, the girl raised her head to look at him for a moment. After a few seconds, she pouted before lowering her head again in disdain.
ââ¦F*ck! What kind of expression was that?â Gerald thought to himself. He couldnât help but curse in his mind.
The woman cleared her throat before saying, âLet me tell you this, Gerald. My daughter is working for a company under the Dream Investment Group. Sheâs working for the Dencouls Production and Trading Corporation. I believe you should know about the Dream Investment Group, right? Being such a large group with superb financial strength, do you know how difficult it is for someone to get into that company?â
Dencouls Production and Trading Corporation. If Gerald remembered correctly, that was just one of the companies supported by the Dream Investment Group. After all, the Dream Investment Group was supporting several local projects and companies like this.
Did she actually just claim that her daughter was working under the Dream Investment Group because of that?
Gerald could only smile at that before nodding slightly.
He was honestly thinking to himself at that moment. The woman looked quite normal. She looked decent and her personality wasnât too bad either. Why was she lowering her standards and going on blind dates then?
âMy daughterâs interested in you because she can tell that youâre an honest man. She would love to marry an honest man. However! There are three absolute rules that you have to abide by before both of you can marry. Listen closely now!â
âI beg your pardon?â
Gerald was dumbfounded. What in f*ckâs name was going on here?
