Devil President's Night Bride novel Chapter 268

The beef had changed color after it was boiling in the hot soup. With that, Josie dipped a little in sesame paste and handed it to Lionel's plate. Since they had to go back later, they only ordered two jars of beer.

She took a small sip. Compared with the expensive wine she had collected in her cellar, these two bottles of beer were not as rough as boiled water. But she drank happily and was more comfortable than drinking the carefully reserved red wine she had at home.

"Look at you, people are eating meat. Why are you laughing like a fool here?" Lionel replied.

Josie propped her hand against her chin and looked at Lionel with a sweet smile. "Yes, I love smile. But it's such a happy day. Do you really want to see me suffer?" she teased.

"Okay, okay, you can laugh, I have eaten up all the meat." Lionel smiled. He picked up a vegetable leaf and soaked it in the hot soup.

"Will you go back to your home first?" Josie asked.

"Let me drive you home first," Lionel replied.

"Can't I go to the Gu family with you? I have lived there for a period of time and I miss grandfather very much," Josie said.

"Don't you miss your family? Since you've come back from America, why don't you get together with your family first?" he asked.

"Then we go to my home first, and we go back to your home together," said Josie.

"Josie, it's time for you to go back and talk with your parents," Lionel replied in a serious tone.

"No, I just want to go back to the Gu family with you," insisted Josie. She said in a low voice, "Or, I'm worried about him. After all, the Gu family there is no longer the old family, and there is one more person to take care of grandfather. Isn't it good?"

Lionel softened his heart and agreed, "Okay. Let's go to your house first."

Hearing that he had promised her, Josie was happy. She nodded and said, "Okay, that's a deal."

Seeing that she was happy again, Lionel shook his head helplessly. A young and beautiful figure flashed through his mind. He didn't know how she was, and the girl who had always been in his heart.

"When I visit the Zhao family again, I will ask aunt to send for people from the Zhao family to treat grandfather," Josie said. She was as happy as a child. "Mom and dad didn't know I had come back, so they must have been surprised to see me. It doesn't matter if Dad's anger has gone. Although I'm penniless now, I still have a comfortable life with you, much more comfortable than before."

"Haven't you been used to your life before? Your words make many people feel sad," Lionel replied with a smile.

"Of course I feel uncomfortable. Even if I drive a famous car and live in a luxurious villa, I can buy anything I want and get anything I want. But what's the meaning of that empty day? I'd rather walk along the fields with you, and pick up mushrooms in the mountain when it rains," Josie said, blinking her eyes.

"We can go there another time and visit more place there," Lionel said.

Josie nodded with a smile.

Lionel picked up a vegetable leaf and put it in Josie's bowl. The latter quickly ate it up and said, "I want to eat more."

"There are more on the plate," Lionel replied.

"I just want to eat the food made by you," Josie said.

So Lionel put more vegetable in the pot for her.

"The Cheng Group suffered a lot from Mrs. An."

"It's such a bad luck. If I had known it earlier, I would not have bought the stock of the Cheng Group. I had internal information. After I knew that Mrs. An took up the post of the director, I bought the stock of the Cheng Group. Now it has caused such a mess. Not to mention whether Mrs. An, can be the responsible one or not. Whether the Cheng Group and the An Group can continue to cooperate or not is also a problem. I have suffered a lot these days."

The complaints of the people behind the screen came to Lionel's ears.

The expression on Lionel's face changed, and even Josie's heart jolted.

Both of them knew the real meaning in these words.

Mrs. An was Amanda. What happened to her? What was wrong with the cooperation between the Cheng Group and An Group? Even though Lionel knew there were some problems in that case, he didn't know what the real problem was. He believed that Darren would help Amanda to solve the problem after he made his choice. So he didn't intervene further. What on earth happened?

When he was about to take out his phone and make a call, Josie immediately grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Lionel, let's leave them alone, okay? They have their own ways to deal with it."

"I was just asking about the situation." After saying that, he picked up his phone and walked out, leaving Josie alone in her seat. Instantly, Josie's face turned cold and unwilling, and she thumped her fist on the table. She wondered why that woman was always around, just like a ghost.

Lionel didn't know what had happened during his absence. He didn't know that Rose was pregnant with Darren's child and she was supported by Nicholas. And this news had spread everywhere. And on the opening ceremony of the Green Light District, Darren publicly accused Amanda of having an affair with another man. Amanda fainted in public and then the assistant sent her to a hospital. A few days ago, An Group had issued an announcement that Darren and Amanda were going to get a divorce, so the case between the two families was postponed.

The project of Green Light District had attracted broad attention. But then it became the useless one in a flash. The stock market of Cheng Group just took a dive, and it was declining every day. As the project supervisor and the vice-president of Cheng Group, it was not good that Amanda had an affair with another man and her husband had insulted her in public. All the doubts would soon be pointed at Amanda.

She must be desperate now, didn't she? This really broke Lionel's heart. She was so innocent and kind-hearted, but why did they always bully her with the worst malice.

And Darren, this bastard. Didn't he promise to take good care of her and protect her? That was how he did it. He divorced his wife and had a baby with another woman, and announced loudly that Amanda cheated on him.

Fury smoldered in his heart. He hung up, and a thick layer of snow fell over his clothes. Lionel then turned around and walked into the hotpot restaurant.

Looking at him with a hint of appeal in her eyes, Josie managed to smile and said, "I have put your favorite potato in the pot. Eat them quickly, or they will get cold."

"Josie, I have something to do now. You can go home first." He turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop." Josie stopped smiling and stood up suddenly. In an instant, the people around stared at them curiously. Ignoring their stares, she looked at Lionel and asked, "Where are you going? To find her? As long as it involves her, you don't know how to deal with it, do you?"
