Chapter 207 The Banquet
Raising her head from Kevin's shoulder, Lily saw the people on the plane getting off one after another.
"Let's go." At this time, Kevin picked up her backpack and walked towards the door of the plane.
Lily followed him quietly and got off the plane.
The two walked out of the airport in silence.
In the parking lot, Kevin turned to look at Lily and said, "Let's say goodbye here. Here is your backpack. "
Surprised, Lily nodded and took the back from his hand. "Thank you for what you have done these days."
Looking at her, a trace of worry could be seen in Kevin's eyes. "It's just small thing. Is it ok to leave you alone? "
"No problem!"
"Ok, be careful." Then Kevin strode forward.
Soon, the tall figure disappeared in the crowd.
It was not until he disappeared from her sight that Lily walked to the side of the road with her suitcase. She took a taxi and went straight back to her residence.
As soon as she returned to her residence, she received a call from Drew, saying that he wanted to talk about some project with her.
Not in the mood to deal with these things, Lily replied, "Mr. Ling, I don't have time now. How about tomorrow? Okay? I'll see you tomorrow. "
On the other side of the phone, Drew frowned slightly and said, "Okay. Let's talk about it tomorrow, Ms. Wen. "
After hanging up the phone, she put the phone on the table, took out her pajamas in front of the wardrobe and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed directly.
Although she was lying down, she was not sleepy at all. She didn't know if it was because she had slept too much on the plane or because of something else. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But Lily didn't sleep well these days. Her father's death was a tragedy for her.
Lily stared at the ceiling blankly for a while.
Where should she put her father's bone-ashes?
His eyes gradually fell on the urn on the table and looked at it quietly for a while.
How about putting it in the cemetery where Oscar was. Oscar had helped her a lot before, in fact, he was like a family to her.
Thinking of Oscar, Lily sat up from the bed, took out her phone from the bedside table and dialed the number of a private detective she had talked before.
The phone was soon connected. "Hello, Ms. Wen."
"I'm calling to ask about the progress of Oscar's case. Do you have any clue? " Lily asked, looking at the urn.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Wen. We haven't found any useful clues yet. If there is any new progress, I will contact you as soon as possible. "
Hearing the answer from the phone, Lily pursed her lips and said, "Okay. Thank you. "
After a pause, she suddenly said, "in fact, there is one more thing that I want you to investigate."
"What is it?"
"I want to know the details of my father's imprisonment. The more detailed the better."
She knew that her father's case had something to do with Kevin, but she had no idea what he has done. She thought she needed to investigate it more thoroughly.
At noon of the second day, in an elegant restaurant.
Sitting opposite to her, Drew picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for her. After putting down the teapot, he said slowly, "I found a good land. If we can buy it, it will be very helpful for the company's development."
Raising her eyebrows, Lily asked, "Where is it? How big is it? "
"It's near the Pacific commercial district. Many companies are coveting this land now. I heard about it because I have acquaintances. If you are interested, we can go to see this land some other day and bargain with them." Speaking of this, Drew picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea unhurriedly.
If they could buy the land near the Pacific business district and build a shopping mall there, it would be good for the company's development.
Lily nodded and said, "Since Mr. Ling has asked, of course I have no objection. We can have a talk with relevant people tomorrow. "
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang in her pocket. After saying "sorry" to Drew, she took out her phone. It was a call from Kevin.
She picked up the phone and asked indifferently, "what's up?"
He said, "There's a banquet tomorrow night. I want you to go with me."
Lily frowned, "Why should I go to with you? Can't you find someone else to be your companion? "
"It's easier to find you." Kevin's answer amused Lily.
After thinking for a while, she remembered how much he had taken care of her these days. If she refused him, it was impropriate. Then she replied, "Okay, tell me the time and address."
The banquet tonight was quite fancy, and the guests there were also famous people in the city. The wine, food and venue have been prepared well. At this moment, the guests were talking and laughing happily, and everyone looked great.
Lily wore a light blue evening dress with V-neck tonight. She randomly picked it from the closet.
This evening dress was a gift from Kevin. She had never worn it before. In the evening, when she was doing makeup and changing clothes, she found it in the wardrobe. She thought it was a good chance to wear it.
She took a plate of fruit and was about to take it to the dining table not far away. When she sat down to eat, she saw the man walking towards her.
"Lily, you look gorgeous tonight." Kevin walked up to Lily, his eyes shining with bright light.
Lily smiled at him and said, "We don't have to pretend like couple. Mr. Qin, you don't have to be so polite."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Kevin's face, but he quickly returned to his normal expression. "I'm not pretending. I'm just saying something sincerely."
He grabbed her wrist and said, "come and sit here. I'll bring you more food. "
Speaking of this, he looked at the fruit plate in Lily's hand and said, "How can you just eat fruit."
As soon as Kevin finished speaking, a strange female voice came from behind, "Lily, you shameless bitch."
Lily was a little surprised. As soon as she turned her head, she saw a woman in a light blue evening dress pouring the drink towards her.
When she was about to dodge, she was pulled aside by Kevin.
"Miss, who are you?" Kevin frowned and asked.
