A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 107

"Thanks for your concern, but I'll take care of it myself." Lily gets up from her chair and puts a bill under the coffee cup. "My treat."

And then she leaves briskly.

Jason watches her as she leaves, trying to run after her, but he doesn't get up from his chair.

He is not a heartless person, but he has been with Lily for a long time, but they have never had sex, so he soon became tired of it. After his cheating on her, he soon came to his senses and regretted it.

Like the man, who went to the hospital and forced him to sign the divorce agreement, said, "You are stupid not to cherish such a smart and capable woman."

Now he understands what the man meant.

He is really stupid.

After leaving the cafe, Lily takes a special car back to Yorkshire.

Maybe because of the meeting with Jason and Jason's words, she is so upset that she has no mood to go back to the company, and then she goes to the shopping mall.

When she goes to COCO shop to buy milk tea, she hears someone shouting at her. When Lily turns around, she finds that it is the old gentleman she has met in Armani store last time.

The old gentleman is dressed casually but is in good spirits.

"Mr.? What a coincidence." Lily is surprised at first, and then asks with a smile, "Are you here to buy milk tea?"

"Yes, the drink you recommended is delicious." Mr. Smith is coming here every few days to see if he can meet Lily again.

After waiting for her for so long, he finally meets her again.

"Yes, but it is over sweet. Don’t drink that so much. Wait a minute." Lily leaves soon.

Mr. Smith just stands there and doesn’t mean to leave.

Before long, the steward comes back, "Mr. Smith, let's go home. I’ve bought the stuff."

Mr. Smith waves his hand, "You go back first, I will go back by myself later."

"No, no, I will stay with you." It’s hot now. If Mr. Smith has sunstroke, Mr. Louis would not let him go. "Are you waiting for someone, or...?" asks the steward.

"You are really annoyed. Why are you so talkative?" Mr. Smith glares at the housekeeper, and is very unhappy. "Can’t you leave me alone?" he says, “Wait in the car!"

Steward dares not to speak.

From a distance, Mr. Smith sees Lily coming this way with a bag in her hand. "Wait for me in the car," he says, "When I get my things done, I'll be there. Hurry up!”

When he sees that Mr. Smith is angry, the housekeeper leaves quickly.

Lily comes over as soon as the housekeeper leaves.

Mr. Smith asks, "What did you buy?"

"There is a teahouse on the fifth floor. I went there to buy some tea." Lily says, taking a thermos cup out of the bag, the smell of tea fills the air as soon as she opens the thermos. "This is Pi Lo Chun freshly made in the shop."

Mr. Smith is deeply moved.

She is such a lovely girl. They don't know each other and have only met twice, but she said it is not good for him to drink too much sweet drinking at his age, so she went to buy him the tea.

"That's very kind of you." Mr. Smith sighs, "You are really sweet, not like my son, who only makes money all day. Could he build he a pyramid for me when I'm dead?"

Lily can't help laughing at his joke. "He probably just wants you to have a better life. And you look vigorous and healthy. You can live another 40 years!"

Mr. Smith laughs heartily, and likes her more and more.

Lily happens to be free, so she accompanies the gentleman. They talk while walking. Later, she sees that it’s time for dinner, so she takes the gentleman to the hot pot restaurant on the fifth floor.

There is a spicy smell in the shop, and the guests are laughing and talking. It is very lively.

Mr. Smith has eaten hotpot many times at home, but they are all health-keeping soups. It’s the first time he ate spicy hot pot. When he stuffs a few slices of beef into his mouth, he is already sweaty.

Mr. Smith raises his thumb and says, "This beef is delicious. It tastes delicious!"

“Is it?” Lily smiles when she sees how happy the old man is.

Her grandparents died young, so she has no chance to be filial to them, and she is very glad to see such a good-tempered old man. At Mr. Smith's age, it is inevitable to be faced with sickness and death, and nothing is better than eating happily.

Mr. Smith seems to see something on Lily's mind and he says, “If you think I'm reliable, tell me about it. Maybe I can give you some advice.”

Lily hesitates and says in annoyance, "It's nothing, but the company's business bothers me."

She briefs the fact of being transferred to a new department. The affairs in the company are complicated, but her boss gives her the most important thing, so she couldn’t refuse.

She summarizes it in a few words, but Mr. Smith understands her.

“You're the kind of person who has no ambition, so you will find the job challenging when you are transferred to another department. In fact, where there are many people, there are fights, especially in listed companies.” says Mr. Smith.

"The people at the bottom only get paid. It doesn't matter to them who's in charge and how the company develops, but the people at the top don't just serve the company, they get involved in the inner affairs of the company."

"Money and power are the most attractive things. No one can refuse them and they can lead to many troubles. If your boss gives you the most important job, then you must be worthy of his trust."

Lily is a little surprised at hearing this.

Louis trusts her, so he chose her?

Mr. Smith smiles, "No matter how messy your company is, just ask yourself if you have chosen the right person. Whether he is worthy of you help and whether he will be there for you when something bad happens."

Lily ponders. Then she suddenly understands something. She laughs and says, "Mr., your words have taught me a lot. I know how to deal with it. Thank you!”

"You are welcome. You send me the tea, and treat me the hot pot. I should thank you." Mr. Smith is glad, "It's no wonder I know so much at my age. By the way, how about ordering one more beef?"

"No, you've had the third piece." Lily refuses, "It's not good for you to eat too much of this."

Mr. Smith is a little unhappy and sighs, "Young people are like this, not allowing me to eat as much as I like. It’s not kind to me."

"Have some carrots. It’s good for you."

After having a meal, Mr. Smith smiles and asks again, "Good girl, do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, I just got divorced."

"Divorced?" Mr. Smith is surprised, "Which man is so stupid? You are so good! Well, it’s great that you are divorced! My son is handsome and tall. I think he’s very good!"

Then he wants to show Lily his son’s picture.

Lily smiles.

All the elders are the same. They worry about their children's marriage.

Mr. Smith is so enthusiastic, and Lily is reluctant to turn him down, so she says, "I'm very busy these days. How about I friend your WeChat and talk to you when I have time?"

"Good."

Mr. Smith also thinks that he has jumped the gun. After all, they have only met twice. It’s better to friend on WeChat.

After Lily agrees, Mr. Smith directly marks her as "daughter-in-law."

He is very confident in his son's appearance and ability. If his son tries hard, the girl may be his daughter-in-law!

Just as Mr. Smith is thinking, Louis calls him.
