Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Misunderstanding Emily nodded and smiled at Lucas. “Now that you mention it, I’m not that nervous anymore.” Lucas looked at the bright smile on her face and became absent-minded for a moment. Somethingflashed in his black eyes. Unfortunately, Emily did not notice it. Because her attention was attracted by what Lucas said next.Logically speaking, Emily had no relationship with the Meng family, so why would Mr. Hawking inviteher to the birthday banquet? Lucas, who could not understand, could not help but ask. “Speaking ofwhich, since you don’t know Old Meng, why would Mr. Hawking invite you to his birthday banquet?” “It’sa long story. Do you remember the last time we ate at that medicinal cuisine restaurant?” Emily looked over with a smile. Lucas nodded, indicating that he remembered. He asked doubtfully, “Yes?” “Last time, Mr. Hawkingasked me to improve the medicinal formula of the medicinal cuisine. Later, I heard from Mr. Hawkingthat the improved medicinal cuisine benefited Mr. Hawking greatly. That’s why I am invited this time.”Emily roughly explained the matter of changing the formula. After Lucas understood, he couldn’t helpbut smile, “In that case, I think he will probably like you very much.” “Why?”

Emily looked over in confusion. Was it because she knew medicine or had improved the medicine list? Unfortunately, Lucas glanced at her and did not answer. Instead, he smiled and gave her a look ofunderstanding. Emily was very speechless, but she did not continue this topic. Instead, she looked atthe things she needed to pay attention to at Lucas’ banquet. While they were talking, the car arrived atthe Meng family manor. There were many guests gathered at the scene. There were countless luxurycars parked on both sides of the street. Looking at the bustling situation, Emily was already a littlescared when she followed Lucas out of the car. Of course, her slight expression did not hide from Lucas. Lucas looked amused. He rolled up his arms and suggested, “How about you hold my arm. Withsomeone accompanying you, you won’t feel lonely.” Hearing this, Emily looked at Lucas and thenlooked at the strong arm. She did not refuse.

Because she felt that Lucas was right. With someone accompanying her, she was indeed not sonervous. She would feel much safer this way. “Then thank you, Mr. Greens.” After thanking him, Emilyheld Lucas’s arm and entered the door. As soon as they entered, because of Lucas’s special identity,the two of them immediately became the center of attention. Emily felt the probing eyes around her, and she was very unaccustomed to it. Her whole body wastense. Lucas was calm though. He glanced around and saw Old Master Meng in the crowd. At the same time,he also saw his parents and Mr. Hawking standing beside him. It was unknown what they were talkingabout, but there was a faint smile on their faces. “I’ve found Old Master Meng. Mr. Hawking is also over there. Please come with me and say hello.” Lucas lowered his head and spoke to Emily who was beside him. Emily naturally had noobjections. The two walked over just like that. At this time, the few people who were originally talkingsaw Lucas and Emily walking towards them. Among them, Peiying and Zhenting were the first to bestunned. Especially Peiying, when she saw Emily holding her son’s arm, she frowned tightly. What wasgoing on with the Meng Family? Why did they invite the doctor here? On the other hand, when Mr.Hawking saw the two people leisurely walking over, his eyes flashed with a crafty light. The two of themwere just as he had expected. They stood together and were extremely compatible. It was not in vainthat he had specially arranged this. At the same time, Emily also saw Peiying and Zhenting. She was a little stunned. She had notexpected to see Lucas’ parents here. Especially when she met Mrs. Greens cold gaze, she felt a little guilty and wanted to pull her hand backfrom Lucas’ arm, Unfortunately, before she could do anything, she had already followed Lucas to thefront of them In the end, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to hold onto Lucas, greeting himpolitely. “Mr. Greens, Mrs. Greens, we meet again.” “Doctor Armstrong.” Although Zhenting wasdissatisfied, he still nodded in agreement. Peiying, on the other hand, only nodded slightly and no longer paid any attention to her.

She looked at her son and pretended to be slightly annoyed as she reprimanded, “You child, why didyou drag Doctor Armstrong over here? Could it be that you want her to be your shield? Hearing this,Lucas frowned. But before he could say anything, his mother turned to Emily and said earnestly.“Doctor Armstrong, although you are treating him, you don’t have to listen to him.” These wordssounded very kind, but in fact, there was something hidden in their words. Obviously, Peiying was very dissatisfied with her son bringing Emily to such an occasion. However, due to her identity, she could not say anything, so she used such tactful words to express hermeaning. Emily also vaguely heard a trace of hostility in her words. But before she could take a closer look, Mr.Hawking’s displeased voice sounded in her ears. “Did Mrs. Greens misunderstand something? I am the one who invited Ms. Armstrong here!”
