Chapter 170
The Contract Marriage
âThen I wonât go in!â
David originally thought that Jasmine was really going to the cocktail party and that he was just helping her out. But he did not think that today was actually her birthday. Looking at the situation now, she was completely treating him as her boyfriend and bringing him back. This gave him a bit of a headache.
Although in the past month, he had been with this woman every day, but he only treated her as a good superior. What he was thinking in his heart was still that cute and beautiful Sarah.
âDidnât you promise to be my male companion tonight?â Jasmine felt a little disappointed hearing his words. But she also understood that suddenly placing him in this kind of place would definitely be a challenge to him.
âBut you only said that you were attending a classmate cocktail party and didnât tell me it was your birthday. I didnât even prepare a gift!â
When Syrus heard Davidâs words, he immediately smiled and tried to smooth things over. âItâs fine! To my second sister, your arrival is her biggest birthday present. Second Sister, quickly go in. The family is waiting for you.â Syrus quickly dodged to the side as he spoke.
âLetâs go!â Jasmine did not want to explain too much to him, so she held his arm and walked into the living room.
Before David could retort, she dragged him in.
The moment he stepped into the living room of the villa, David was a little surprised. The living room was decorated very luxuriously, from the walls to the furniture. Even a small piece of furniture was decorated extravagantly. The living room was divided into two parts by a luxurious living room. One part was a small living room and the other part was the main living room. The main living room was very large. It was so big that it could hold a big ball. In the middle of the living room was a staircase that led to the second floor. The dazzling crystal chandelier above shone with a dazzling light. Wherever he looked, he could see the extraordinary strength of the Wilson Family.
Jasmine held his arm tightly. David knew that it was impossible for him to leave. He looked at the four rings sofa in the living room and saw some elders sitting on it. There were also a few young people surrounding him. All of them looked at him curiously. He knew that he would not be able to escape this disaster tonight. He braced himself and walked over with Jasmine.
Just as the two of them walked to the middle of the living room, a beauty sitting in the living room smiled and ran to Jasmineâs side. She held her arm and smiled as she asked Jasmine, âSecond sister, who is this handsome guy? Could he be your new boyfriend?â
Jasmine did not answer her but smiled and introduced to David, âThis is my sister, Charlotte !â
David immediately looked at Charlotte and nodded slightly. âHello!â
The three of them walked to the sofa as they talked. The oldest person on the sofa was an old lady in her 80s or 90s. She had silver hair and a kind smile on her face. There was a middle-aged couple sitting beside her.
David recognized the man at first glance. That was the chairman of Wilson Group, Joseph Wilson.
There was a woman sitting next to him. It must be Jasmineâs mother. Jasmineâs elder sister, Margaret, was sitting on the sofa beside him. There were also a few people that he did not know.
David bowed respectfully to Joseph first. âChairman!â
Joseph smiled and nodded. He then looked at his second daughter lovingly. âJasmine, I thought you brought your new boyfriend back. Why did you bring your assistant back?â
About Davidâs identity, Joseph knew a little about it. After all, in the company, his second daughter helped him a lot.
As soon as Joseph finished speaking, he heard the old lady on the sofa say with a smile, âWhat happened to the assistant? An assistant canât become a boyfriend? Young man, whatâs your name?â
When Joseph and his wife heard his motherâs words, they couldnât help but smile.
When David heard the old lady ask him, he immediately replied respectfully, âHello, grandma. My name is David Brown. I am Jasmineâs assistant.â
Grandma Wilson smiled kindly. Joseph looked at David and waved slightly. âTake a seat. We are all family here. There is no need to be restrained.â
âThank you, Chairman.â David nodded and sat on the opposite sofa with Jasmine.
Jasmineâs marriage had always been the most troublesome thing for the family, so today when she brought David in, everyoneâs eyes were focused on David.
Mrs. Wilson looked at David across from her. Although David was just an assistant, no matter if it was his appearance or his gestures, he was very polite and generous. The more she looked at him, the more she found him to be a good match. She could not help but look at David and ask, âHow old is Assistant Brown this year?â
Jasmine immediately corrected her mother when she heard what her mother said. âMom, this is not the company. Why are you calling him like this? He has a name. You can just call him David!â
As soon as Jasmine finished speaking, the others could not help but laugh. Mrs. Wilson smiled and continued to ask, âHow old is David this year?â
David replied respectfully, âAuntie, I am 30 years old this year.â
When Grandma Wilson heard this, she immediately smiled in satisfaction. âOur Jasmine is 28 years old. You two are quite compatible in age!â
David wanted to explain after hearing the old ladyâs words, but he heard Mrs. Wilson on the opposite sofa continue to ask him, âDoes David have a girlfriend?â
âNot yet!â
Sitting on the sofa next to him, Charlotte looked at David and blinked her eyes. She asked him loudly, âIf I remember correctly, you know my second sister because you crashed into her car, right?â
Hearing someone mention what happened that night, David nodded awkwardly. âYes!â
Seeing his serious expression, Charlotte continued with a smile. âYou didnât just crash my sisterâs car, did you? You also did a bad thing. . .â
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at David.
Jasmine heard her sisterâs words and immediately looked at her unhappily. âStinky girl, donât speak nonsense!â
Charlotte smiled and shook her head on the sofa. âHe has already done it, why is he afraid of others saying it? Is that so, Mr. David Brown?â
David nodded with sweat all over his head, not knowing what to say.
Grandma Wilson looked at Davidâs embarrassed expression and looked at her youngest granddaughter like a child. â Charlotte, what did he do? Hurry up and tell Grandma!â
Jasmine immediately looked at her younger sister opposite her. âYou dare to say?â
Charlotte immediately got into her husbandâs arms in a very scary manner. âGrandma, Second Sister is going to get angry. Itâs better if I donât say it.â
Grandma Wilson immediately waved her hand with a smile. âItâs fine. With Grandma around, she wonât dare to get angry at you. Hurry up and tell Grandma. What exactly is going on?â
Hearing grandmaâs words, Charlotte immediately sat up with a smile. âGrandma, let me tell you. That night, not only did David crash second sisterâs car which cost 18 million yuan, he even hugged and kissed her. . .â
Everyoneâs gaze, with a swoosh, focused on David!
Looking at everyoneâs scrutinizing gaze, David was somewhat embarrassed. âI lost control of myself that night. Iâm sorry!â
Opposite him, Joseph magnanimously waved his hand. âYou had a reason for what happened that night. The matter has passed. No one should mention it again.â
Actually, Joseph had long heard about the accident that happened to his daughter that night. The reason why he did not stop Charlotte from speaking was to see the reaction and attitude of this young man.
âThank you, Chairman!â
However, Charlotte did not want to let go of her second sisterâs assistant. She continued to look at him mischievously. âMr. Brown, today is my second sisterâs birthday. What gift did you prepare for her?â
David could only answer truthfully. âJasmine only said that it was a classmate cocktail party today. I didnât expect it to be her birthday, so I didnât prepare any gifts.â
âHaha! Looks like Jasmine tricked you here, right?â Joseph immediately understood what was going on.
Everyone couldnât help but laugh.
Jasmine brought David to sit in the living room for a while and then took him to the lawn behind the villa. There were many friends and classmates of Jasmine there. When the two of them walked out of the living room, David called out to her.
âVice President, I want to say something to you.â Being the center of attention of so many people, he was not used to it. He also felt uncomfortable.
Jasmine stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. âOkay, tell me.â
âI think the Vice Presidentâs family might have misunderstood. The reason I agreed to come today was to help the Vice President. I didnât think that today would be your birthday. Itâs fine if others misunderstand me, but I hope that you wonât misunderstand!â His experience in the villaâs living room made him feel a little different from usual.
Jasmine raised her chin and looked at him. âWhat do you think I misunderstood you for?â
âIf not, that would be even better. I was thinking too much!â
âYou werenât thinking too much. I brought you here today to treat you as my boyfriend, because I like you!â Jasmine looked at his honest reply. She originally had a very straightforward personality. Now that she understood the meaning in his words, she might as well speak her heart directly.
David looked at her delicate face and was silent for a moment. After a moment, he slowly replied, âIâm sorry. I donât have any ideas in this aspect! I think with my identity, ability, and family background, I canât compare to the Vice President. . .â
Jasmine listened to his refusal and before he could finish, she suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. She tiptoed and kissed him heavily on his lips!
David was slightly stunned. He did not expect her to directly express her feelings like this!
Jasmine quickly let go of him and looked at him very directly. âIf I mind your identity, ability and family background, I would not have brought you here tonight. And I wonât tell anyone that you are my assistant. Donât think that Iâm that powerful. You saw my family just now. . . If my dad cared about your identity, he definitely wouldnât have smiled at you just now.â
âI know that the person you like is Sarah. Although she is already married now, you still did not forget her. I know that it is difficult to make you like me. But I can wait. I donât want to hide my feelings for you.
From the day I saw you at the police station, I fell in love with you. If you think that my actions today have caused you harm and made you lose face in front of so many people. . . Then you can leave now.
No matter what you will do today, I will never stop you!â
Jasmine finished speaking. She stubbornly turned around and walked towards the lawn alone.
