Chapter 8 The Meet at Home (2)

Hazel glared angrily at the man sitting lazily on the sofa, and then turned her head, looking at her father!

Kevin, her dear father only knew that she pissed Leo off, but did he ever realize that Leo was humiliating his daughter now?

No, in his heart, she was always an unpleasant child! Just like when she was a child, every time she handed her full marks exam papers in front of him he always looked at her with gloomy and complicated eyes, and then strode away! He has never been close to or cared about her! Now why would he care whether she was insulted or not?

Hazel suddenly laughed, and it was full of self-deprecation.

She stood with her head bowed. No one could see her facial expression, but Leo felt an inexplicable sense of loss all over his body, and he couldn't help but clenched in his heart.

"It's just a joke..." The man's lips were thin, like freezingly cold ice sculptures. Even the words he said, although full of jokes, contained a hint of chill.

Hazel looked up in surprise, but then the man had already turned his attention: "Mayor Kevin, let's talk somewhere else."

Kevin was also surprised by the change of Leo's attitude, but he stood up and took Leo to the study on the second floor.

Before Leo left, his eyes locked on Hazel's eyes. He picked up the tea she poured, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and then licked the corner of his mouth ambiguously from an angle that others could not see, then put down the teacup and left. It seemed that he didn't even notice there was another cup of tea left untouched.

Hazel suddenly felt a chill down his spine and goosebumps all over his body! This man is disgusting!

Betty clenched her fists tightly because Leo did not drink the tea that she carefully brewed. He just drank the cup of tea that Hazel poured! She felt resentful and jealous, but she still put a smile on her face, and said: " Mom, I'm going to cook."

"Okay!" In response to Betty, Flora turned around and stared at Hazel: "Why did I give birth to such a daughter like you? Hurry up and change your clothes!" Now feeling shame of her? Hazel snorted coldly.

"Mom, look, I'm so busy that I forgot buy clothes for Hazel!" Betty turned around when she heard Flora's words and said, "Hazel, we have the similar figure. Maybe you can wear a set of my clothes first! Don't worry. I'll find a set for you that I've never worn before, okay?"

Hazel frowned. Huh! Look at what she said! Betty forbears everywhere, shows her humility, and wins the sympathy of others, but Hazel is not one of those idiots without a plan.

"Uh-huh!" Hazel said, and then went upstairs with her bag on his back.

Behind him were Flora's deliberately low roar and Betty's persuasive voice.

When she came out of the bathroom, there were two high-end designer clothes on Hazel's bed. Hazel didn't choose any of the clothes, but put on the white shirt and jeans she just washed in the morning. When she went downstairs again, there was already a table full of dishes on the dining table. In twelve years, this was the first time she had such a sumptuous dinner!

Flora looked at Hazel's clothes and gave her a dissatisfied look. But she didn't reprimand Hazel, because at this time Kevin and Leo were going downstairs, and both of them had a smile on their faces, and it seemed that they were having a good conversation.

"Mr. Leo, this way please!” Kevin then led Leo to the dining table.

Betty raised her head and glanced at Leo quietly, blushed immediately, and then lowered her head with a shy smile.

Hazel looked at Leo boldly. This man is dressed formally today and looks decent, completely different from the enchanting evil ruffian last night!

When Leo passed by Hazel, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly stopped. He said to Hazel, "Miss Hazel, your hair is a little messy." After he finished speaking, he reached out and wrapped the shorter, stray pieces of hair around her ear. He carelessly slid across Hazel's cold cheeks, and then left as if nothing had happened.

Flora and Kevin couldn't tell what Leo was thinking, but they both looked at Betty worriedly, who had lowered her head, biting her lower lip. Betty’s face was pale, her eyes were red, making she looked pitiful.

Hazel glared at Leo fiercely, and then rubbed the place he just touched, and then sat down dissatisfied.

"Mr. Leo, my daughter is quite ignorant, please forgive her." Kevin said solemnly apologetically.

"Dad, Hazel is innocent and straightforward, with a sincere personality. Most of the people nowadays in the city town have in-depth deliberations, so they are not as kind and simple as Hazel." Betty sneered at Kevin. Saying these, she seemed like the Kelvin’s biological daughter!

Hazel sneered. Naive? Betty just meant to say she was childish and stupid, didn’t she? Or did she mean to say she didn’t grow up in city?

"You are the best at talking!" Flora feigned anger, stretched out her finger and poked Betty's eyebrows. Betty just smiled softly.

Hazel lowered her head and didn't speak, but she felt Leo's gaze towards her. She raised her head, just looked at him, and then shrugged helplessly. Leo's face darkened. There was no emotion in his indifferent eyes, and his voice was incomparably cold, but it made Hazel feel at ease: "She's fine." This was his response to what Kevin said.

Kevin and Flora looked surprised. Betty's hand holding the chopsticks froze immediately, as for Hazel... She still kept eating. After Leo finished speaking, he also started to eat, and the rest of the people stopped talking. The room suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of the bowl and chopsticks colliding, and this sound was naturally made by a cool song!

Looking at Hazel's appearance, both Kevin and Flora felt a little embarrassed! People in the upper classes pay the most attention to etiquette and face! Now, the daughter of Liang's family is rude to others while eating! This is to be laughed at by outsiders! Look at Betty! She ate slowly, chewing in small mouths, and the chopsticks touch the bowl without making any sound. She is both steady and elegant! Seeing such a huge difference, Betty seemed naturally more likable.

"Betty, eat more. You've been helping me in the company, and you're so thin that you're so tired, so quickly eat fat so that I can find your husband's house." Flora took a chopstick of vegetables and tried to cover it up for Hazel. Betty blushed shyly.

As soon as she heard Flora's words, Hazel smiled. Is she implying to Leo that Betty is capable and wants her to be with Leo?

Sure enough, Kevin followed suit and said, "Mr. Leo, you have already had a successful course at such a young age. I wonder if you have ever considered your personal affairs."

Leo's whole body suddenly burst out icy atmosphere, and the temperature of the entire room was likely to have dropped to freezing point in an instant. That kind of momentum was enough to make anyone bow their heads and crawl, and a few people were shocked and dared not speak any more.

Even Hazel couldn't help shaking a little, this man is quite good at pretending!

"No." Leo said indifferently. Although his tone was cold and hard but still eased the awkward atmosphere, while Kevin never dared to asked his personal issues again.

"Hey, Mr. Leo, how wonderful Miss Betty is! She is so beautiful and capable. Maybe the Yun family will have a piece of property that belongs to her in the future. If you marry her, it will be a blessing for you!"

Hazel snorted at the man, raising her eyebrows. In fact, she didn't look down on this man, but she really felt that Betty was not worthy of Leo!

"Hazel!" Flora scolded Hazel angrily and tugged at her arm.

The man glanced at Hazel coldly, stood up suddenly, and said, "Mayor Kevin, thank you for your invitation. I got to leave now."

Kevin stood up and wanted to send Leo, but Leo suddenly turned back and looked at Hazel: "I wonder if Miss Hazel would like to send me off?"

Betty still had a smile on her face, but her fists were clenched tightly. She didn't feel any pain when her fingernails dug in her flesh, and her eyes were filled with the anger even though she had tried so hard to suppress it.

After seeing Betty’s reaction, Hazel blinked her big eyes, nodded immediately, and said cheerfully, "No problem, I'd love to!"
