A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 167

In the Yorkshire Airport

With her slender figure wrapped in a white thin wind coat, Stella looks quite a bit like a gorgeous elite. Ending the call with her son, she smiles gently and walks out of the hall with her suitcase.

Chandler is bound to like the gift.

As Stella is weaving her way through the crowds, she suddenly hears someone calling her name.

“Stella Scott?”

Out of instinct, Stella turns around. She greets when she sees the person, “Auntie, long time no see.”

“I felt familiar with the view of your back and tentatively called your name. It’s really you.” Daniel’s mother, Brianna Barney, who looks quite elegant, says sarcastically. She walks over and looks up and down at Stella patronizingly.

After, Brianna sneers, “It had just been four years. I hadn’t expected that you would have the ability to force the Scott family to recognize you. And you’ve even engaged with President Smith.”

Stella surpasses the turbulent emotions in her heard and appears to be clam. She smiles, “I should thank you for it. The ten million you gave me was the cornerstone of my wonderful life later.”

“You’re just worthy of ten million.” Brianna smiles elegantly and the disdain in her eyes is so obvious, “Even if you have your ability, you are still a filthy and lowly illegitimate daughter.”

“You’re correct. I’m a filthy and lowly who is unpleasant to your eyes.” Stella walks towards Brianna and smiles, “It would be my great honor if you think highly of me. I should kneel down in front of the Buddha to thank him for his blessing if you do.”

“But let me remind you, we got an old saying that ‘the tide has turns’. I believe that one day you will come to beg me and apologize to me.”

After finishing the aggressive words, she turns around and leaves.

Brianna is livid.

It has just been four years. When did this woman get the sack to fight against her?

Brianna turns to ask her assistant who is standing aside, “Has Daniel come back?”

“Young Master had come back once, but he then went back to New York again, seeming to have some emergencies to deal with.” The assistant replies.

“Give him a call and tell him that his grandpa is not feeling well, and ask him to come back as soon as possible.” Brianna orders, “Then contact Commander Lee and some of my friends to invite them bring their daughters and have dinner in the Lou Mansion.

“Okay.”

Lily and Louis wander around with Lily pushing Louis’ wheelchair, and the two only come back to the villa until it is dark.

While cooking for the dinner, Lily is lost in the thoughts about why Stella tries so hard to conceal the existence of Chandler. Nevertheless, with her mind wandering wildly, she cuts her finger. Feeling the pain, Lily finally comes to her own senses and then finds that the cutting board is tinged with blood.

“What happened?” Louis comes in on his wheelchair. When he sees that Lily cut her finger but is still standing there in a trance, he immediately pulls her out of the kitchen and rummages for a bandage to dress her wound.

He treats her wound carefully and gently.

Lily stares at the top of his head and suddenly asks, “President Smith, can I ask you a question?”

“Say it.”

Lily asks, “My younger brother has two friends, namely A and B, who are also good friends. Nevertheless, A’s girlfriend broken up with A yet gave birth to A’s child. Then A’s ex-girlfriend married B.”

“Isn’t she Green Tea Bitch?” [Notes: A GTB is a girl who looks very pure and cute and pretends to be harmless and fragile without any ambition.]

Lily is surprised, “Oh, you also know GTB? But, no, that’s not the case. She had her difficulties and grievance. A knows that his ex-girlfriend still has a feeling for him, but he doesn’t know about the child. My question is: If you were B and now you know about it, what will you do?”

“Even if she had her difficulties and grievance, she was wrong to keep the existence of the child a secret.” Louis adds, “Her actions will definitely harm the brotherhood between A and B.”

He pauses and then continues, “If I were B, I will drive that woman out of the country will all my powers, so that she will not be able to come back and hurt my bro again.”

Lily is petrified.

Alas, this is so cruel!

Louis leans against the wheelchair gracefully and stares at Lily, “Lily, your words make me feel strange.”

“Hahaha, where is the strange point? I was just asking casually.” Lily jokes, “They are my younger brother’s friends. He asked me how to deal with it and I had no idea. That why I came to you.”

“Your brother should know the way of how men getting along each other.” After finishing the words, Louis pounders for a while, “Oh, I forget that your brother is a gay. His way of thinking may be different of those of other men.”

Lily is angered and kicks his wheelchair.

“What did you mean by saying that, President Smith? Are you discriminating against the LGBT? Listen, there is no problem with my younger brother. I would accept it no matter whom he’s into. If he wants a child in the future, I will let him adopt my child.”

“I hold no discrimination against LGBT.” Louis makes an explanation helplessly and steals a glance at her belly.

“Why are you looking at my belly?”

“Are you pregnant?”

“…”

Lily casts her eyes heavenward and rushes into the kitchen in a bad mood.

A psycho just left, then Louis becomes not in his right mind. Luckily, she’s still not mad. Oh, she should thank herself for her pressure resistance ability.

Lily ponders for a moment and then puts back beef to the refrigerator. In the end, she makes crucian carp soup with tofu, stir-fried spinage and stir-fried celery with shredded meat.

Lily serves the dishes on the table.

Louis glances at the dishes and asks out of curiosity, “Didn’t you say that you like beef?”

“The beef is rotten.” Lily ladles a bowl of soup for him and adds, “These dishes also taste good with my excellent cooking skill. President Smith, don’t you think that you’re so picky?”

“Alas, those top cookers can earn a monthly salary of thirty or forty thousand and just need to cook two meals a day. Then look at me, I have to cook three meals for per day, President Smith. Yet I have no salary. What’s worse, you’re so picky!”

“When I just learned to how to cook back then, my younger brother would finish all the dishes I cooked and praised me.”

“Why there’s such a big difference among human beings?”

Louis rubs his eyebrows when hearing her cynicism.

This woman is so bold now that she challenges his bottom line and retorts him again and again.

With a world-weary expression, Louis finishes the dishes. Lily is pleased. She peels an apple for him and then walks into the kitchen, humming songs while doing the washing.

No wanders that people would always advice women not to indulge their men.

When she is about to walk out of the kitchen, she suddenly recalls that Leigh has told her that he had left something for her. She opens the cabinet and sees a cup on it. Out of curiosity, she takes it and finds that there’s a small box in the cup.

Lily picks up the box and shakes it. She then finds that there’s a pill in it.

She takes a photo and sends it to Leigh attached with several question marks: [Mr. Leigh, are you asking me to take this???]

Leigh replies: [Yeah. Take it before going to sleep.”

Lily: [What the hell is it?]

Leigh: [It doesn’t matter. Anyway, remember to take it. It’s something that will please you.”

Lily: […]

Leigh: [Honey, please don’t doubt my words. Believe me, you will come to thank me when you wake up tomorrow.]

Lily finds it hard to continue the topic and turns off the phone.

Lily originally intended to throw the pill away, but at a second thought that Leigh hasn’t done something harmful to her and has told her several times to take it. She is also curious about it and takes it before going to sleep.

Afterwards, some segments of memories appear in Lily’s mind.

It turns out that when she woke up in that morning, met David on the corridor of the hotel and then walked out of the hotel, she was kidnapped by Chloe’s men. And it was Louis who carried her back to the hotel after she managed to escape from them.

Later…

The abrupt memories, especially segments about her being carried back to the hotel by Louis, ruin Lily’s composure.

Is this a dream?

Lily slaps herself hard on her cheek. It really hurts. She closes her eyes and ponders about it but the memories are still vivid. She then gives herself another slap. It hurts even more.
