Kevin and Flora were sitting still, and the domineering man was sitting right at the opposite!
In was so quiet at the hall that only the sound of faint water flow could be heard. Betty cleaned the teapot with boiling water, set the tea and warmed the cup expertly... Her movements are smooth and natural, elegant and noble, revealing the temperament of the daughter of a humble family, which is pleasing to the eye.
"Well done!" Kevin clapped his hands, showing his satisfaction for Betty obviously. That man also followed Kevin and clapped for a while, giving fully respect to Kevin.
Betty smiled coyly. She held up a cup of tea with both hands, first placing it in front of the man, and said politely, "Mr. Leo, please!"
The man curled his lips slightly, but didn't give a move.
"Huh? Hazel, you are back."
Betty was sitting against the door. When she saw Hazel, she immediately screamed in surprise, standing up and then pulled Hazel to the front of the other three.
Hazel was still wearing the shabby white dress, the one she wore when she was out at noon. At this time, she was standing beside Betty in the hall. Wow… it seemed that she and Hazel came from a different world. Anyone who sees it will think that Betty is so beautiful like a white swan, while Hazel an ugly duckling.
Suddenly, the faces of Kevin and Flora were overcast with anger. The lady of their family was wearing shabby clothes to meet the guests, which would definitely be laughed by others! Not only did it disrespect the guests, but also humiliated their family !
"Hazel, come over here to meet the Mr. Leo. Mr. Leo, this is my daughter Hazel." Although Kevin was displeased, he still introduced Hazel politely.
"Mr. Leo, Hazel has lived in the City Bo for a long time, which is not as trendy as City A. She just arrived home today and hasn't had time to dress up." Betty said it a timely manner. Her remarks not only restored the reputation of the Liang family, but also did Leo an honor, and eased Hazel's embarrassment simultaneously. Good choice. Except for Hazel, everyone felt that Betty was considerate and kind, and her reaction was really suitable.
Hazel pouted and thought, Betty really expresses the artistic expression of the upper class incisively and vividly! In this respect, she is indeed inferior to Betty!
"Ha? Today?" The man's voice was low but loud, echoing around the hall, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Hazel glanced at the man secretly, and found that his dark eyes were setting on her with an inexplicable light, just like a wolf seeing its prey! Hazel suddenly felt a chill in her back, an illusion that she was about to be swallowed up this man!
Hearing his doubt, Flora was about to explain something but, Hazel laughed. She pushed Betty away and sat directly beside the man, leaning back lazily on the sofa.
"Hi, Leo! I just came back from City bo! You may not want to say that you've seen me somewhere, right? I won’t buy this kind of approach!"
Betty looked at Hazel with surprisingly, and interested in this drama show.
Kevin frowned while Flora also clenched his fists secretly. Flora even wanted to slap Hazel to shut up her mouth!
Leo is the third young master of the official family, and he is well-known in the real estate industry. Among first-tier cities like City A, Leo is probably the only one who is respected as a tycoon at such a young age!
It’s said that Leo seldom smiled. He was sophisticated and resolute, very decisive during the negotiation! It’s also said that he is cruel, vicious and cunning like a fox! But among so many tags, the biggest one for Leo was: cleanliness!
Leo is a fanatic for cleanliness!
Since he took over the company's business, everyone around Leo must be clean and tidy at least on the surface! It’s said that he once turned down a case of tens of billions of cooperation, just because the female assistant of didn’t wrapped her hair well! His abandon made thousands of people felt pity for the case! According to these precedents, you could tell that Leo got extreme cleanliness!
But now, Hazel was sitting so close to Leo! Kevin have a premonition that this cooperation is about to fail!
"Hazel, how can you be so rude? Come over here!" Flora scolded Hazel angrily.
"Hazel, come over quickly. Mr. Leo does not like others’ getting too close to him!" Betty hurriedly walked over, stood in front of Hazel, and whispered to her.
Annoyed at people getting too close to him? Hazel frowned and looked at the the other three people faces. Suddenly she remembered the scene from last night! That man was a neat freak!
"Mr. Leo, Hazel had just back to City A today. She is ignorant. I sincerely hope that you won't mind her offense!" Kevin blurted out an apology. Hearing ese, Hazel's eyes darkened slightly.
Ignorant?
"Yeah, Mr. Leo, Hazel grew up in the countryside, that’s why she might be savage and impulsive. She is so insolent and naughty, and please don't haggle with her." Flora dated an annihilating look at Hazel and said guiltily. Listening to Flora's words, Hazel couldn't help frowning again.
Wild and savage?
If not being wild and savage, how could she live until now? When she was surrounded by a group of gangsters, if she couldn’t be more savage than those people, how could she crawl out of that alley? When she was harassed, if she was not impulsive enough, how could she keep her innocence?
Just then, Betty also echoed, "Mr. Leo, Hazel is just being playful, upright and lively temperament. She doesn't know you well. If she had offended you, I'd apologize for her. Please forgive us."
What? Hazel suddenly laughed! Betty's words surely have lifted herself to a very decent position! Literally, Betty said that she was just being playful and naughty. But actually, she was belittling her for not caring about the family. As for herself, Betty apologized for her sister initially, making her looked gentle and elegant. Betty was stepping on Hazel to elevate her own status. That’s a good one! And while looking at her parents? Kevin and Flora even expressed their appreciation for Betty's remarks!
"Miss Betty, you're so kind. If I kill someone, I hope you can take the blame for me too!" Hazel stood up, grabbed Betty's arm, and gave her a sweet smile, but in fact her smile implied Satire. Hazel called her "Miss Betty", which had instantly put aside the relationship between the two, making Betty seem self-motivated.
"Hazel!" Flora stood up and wanted to scold Hazel. But Hazel just turned around and bowed to Leo.
"Mr. Leo, I'm sorry. Although my clothes look worn out, they are very clean. I beg your pardon may will understand it and won't take it seriously, right?" Hazel said these words decently, and apologized sincerely. In the hearts of Kevin and Flora, it is very rare for their savage daughter to do so.
"What if I niggle over it, then I'll be a jealousy man?" Leo raised his eyebrows slightly.
… embarrass, so embarrass that the hall seemed to have fallen into the icehouse! No one dares to say that the famous Mr. Leo is jealousy? If there is someone who dares do so, then he must want to die!
Kevin darted at Hazel. Flora also sat anxiously there, getting a little bit worried about her. Only Betty lowered her head to conceal her smile.
Hazel, however, did not seem to be affected by the atmosphere at all. She shrugged helplessly: "So, you have no other choice."
The man smiled slightly, learning Hazel to lean back on the sofa: "Cool! Pouring a tea for me and apologize to me."
His voice was very cold, and the room was silent for a moment. The three looked different. You know, Leo will never give people a second chance!
Hazel frowned and stared at the man. Damn it, he still want more! If it wasn't for that Kevin seemed to need his help, how could she apologize to him so easily?
"Hazel, Pour a tea for Mr. Leo?" Flora stood up and pushed Hazel.
Hazel was pushed in front of the man. Taking two deep breaths, Hazel tried her best to restrain her emotions and calmed down herself: I just need to pour him a cup of tea! I can do it, it's no big deal.
Squatted down, Hazel used Betty's teapot and cup, rudely poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Leo: "Please!"
The man hooked his cold lips, setting his deep and sharp eyes firmly on Hazel's face: "Please say: I was wrong!"
"How dare you!" Hazel stood up abruptly with her eyes full of anger. He has a cleanliness addiction, but what does it have to do with her? She has showed him enough respect by pouring tea for him! What does he want to do?
"Hazel!"
This time, Kevin couldn't bare it anymore. He invited Leo today was to negotiate about the land issues. If Leo could help him with it, people in City A would benefit a lot from it! He thought that Hazel's previous actions had already angered Leo, making this matter come to nothing. But now Leo has given Hazel a second chance, and he is so very worried that Hazel will annoy Leo again.
Betty stood aside and the corners of her mouth twitched triumphantly. But before she could crack a smile, her face was suddenly frozen by what's going on!
