My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 162
She hadn't been there for so many years. This 5000 square meters European-style luxuriousdetached villa, belonged to Fisher Family.
The Fisher Family was the same as she remembered. She still hated it as ever.
Christina was standing in the middle of the Fisher Family's lobby. The sparkling crystal lights shoneon her delicate face, but she frowned and seriously looked at the people coming and going. Theguests were dressed in gorgeous clothes, talking and laughing. People from the business andpolitical worlds came to wish Mrs. Fisher a happy birthday.
"Hopkins? from Hopkins Family... Hello, Mr. Hopkins..."
Christina walked arm in arm with Patrick towards the banquet hall. Along the way, she could alwayshear some stuttering and fawning voices such like, "I'm glad to see you here. It's really my honorto..."
Patrick didn't pay much attention to these people. He looked expressionless and just noddedslightly.
"How is Old Master Mr. Hopkins doing? I have visited your family in person but it's a pity that Ididn't see you. I haven't seen you for so many years, maybe you don't remember me."
Charles smiled as usual and said casually, "Uncle, how can the younger generation forget you? Youare in your prime now. When I was watching TV at home, I could always see you talking. I will neverforget you."
"Charles, you can really amuse people. You have a similar personality to your grandfather. Hahaha."Charles was chatting with a man of about sixty years old. It was inevitable for him to socialize atsuch a party.
Christina was very surprised. She had just seen this old man on the news yesterday, who was makinghis latest speech with a solemn face. She secretly tugged at Patrick's arm and asked in a low voice,"Isn't this old man..."
"This is..." This sneaky little action was really not elegant. Surprisingly, the other party was the first toask.
"My wife, Christina.”
Patrick then looked up and looked at him and replied directly.
Christina was a little nervous because it was the first time she faced such a big shot on TV. Sheimmediately straightened up and obediently said, "Hello, Uncle Li."
When the other party heard her call out "Uncle Li," he froze for a second, and suddenly he washappy as if he was glorious. He smiled and his eyes narrowed. “You are the bride of Patrick? You areso beautiful, gentle, and lovely.”
Charles stood aside and had just taken a sip of a cocktail. When he heard the words “gentle andlovely',he almost choked on the drink.
Bah -
If Christina could be described as gentle and lovely, then there were no women in this world!Everyone in the business circle knew about Patrick's precious wife. Christina's hot temper had longbeen spread. This woman was dangerous, no one dared to get close to her.
"Christina, I heard that you are the only daughter of the Dickens Family. Are you bored with yourpregnancy now? A few girls in Li Family are about your age. Women are born to love beauty. If theysee you, they will definitely pester you to ask those skincare questions. You can go ahead and talk tothem if you have any troubles..."
The old man in formal and dignified clothes suddenly started to chatter, calling "Christina" with anamiable tone.
Christina was a little surprised. Her previous impression of him was completely ruined. He thoughthe had been a totally different person.
Not knowing how to respond, the man next to her naturally smoothed a few strands of messy hairon her chest and replied for her, "Uncle Li, she's tired. Maybe she needs to rest for a while."
The old man was embarrassed by Patrick's cold and aloof words. So he immediately changed herwords. “That... That's good. Pay attention to your health. Pregnancy is really tiring. You really have topay more attention”
Christina's expression was frozen and she nodded slightly at the other party. "I'll go to the side torest. You guys can continue talking."
She remembered that this 'big shot’ went to Hopkins Family to look for Old Master Mr. Hopkins onnew year's day. He seemed to need Old Master Mr. Hopkins to help but didn't make it. It seemedthat he flattered because of his objectives.
Patrick would never allow her to be involved in these complicated events. He habitually remindedher, "Sit aside and don't run around.”
"I know." She was obedient today.
The Fisher Family was also doing business, but couldn't compete with the Hopkins Family with it'sarms dealer background. Christina casually replaces a corner to sit down, gazed around the magnificenthall with a complicated expression. She used to feel that the house was very luxurious and bright.She had lived in the Hopkins Family for half a year. She was no longer shocked as it was in thoseyears.
The Fisher Family was still the former Fisher Family, but, "Where is he?"
Christina craned her neck and looked around for the figure she was looking for.
Derek, wasn't he there today?
It was not proper for her to run around with a big belly. The party had not yet officially started, andChristina sat patiently. She thought that she would be able to see him on the rostrum in a while.At least, Derek was the only grandson of the Fisher Family. Even if he was a bastard.
The waiter who was walking around the ballroom enthusiastically brought her a glass of juice and acake. Christina sat alone at a small round table and poked the small piece of mousse cake with afork.
In the distance, Patrick and Charles were drinking with some elders, and occasionally Patrick wouldlook at her.
Christina watched her men being surrounded and flattered by others. He frowned slightly, whichmeant that he was not in a good mood. Unfortunately, those people were unable to see the fitnessof things. Perhaps they were too excited to meet Patrick here.
Christina picked up the juice and took a sip, bored. She was thinking, "He is really poker-faced. Justsmile.” It seemed that Patrick didn't like to entertain these people very much.
"Is Patrick very close to the Fisher Family?"
Christina suddenly asked this question, but it was the first time that she had seen Patrick take suchinitiative to attend a banquet, and it was only a woman's birthday party.
"I heard that Mr. Fisher and Mrs. Fisher will be announcing their retirement today, so their FisherFamily will be in charge by..."
"I can't guarantee who it is, but it won't be that fool.”
Not far to Christina's right side, she heard a few noblewomen gossiping. Christina could not hearwhat they were talking about, so she look over at them with curiosity.
Who did they say?
The dignified ladies noticed Christina as well.
"No, not that fool's girlfriend. That's Hopkins Family's granddaughter-in-law."
The group of women quickly dispersed and Christina only vaguely heard the words"granddaughter-in-law of Hopkins Family". Christina was not interested in these women and justthought of Crystal. She was more willing to play with Crystal than these women.
"Crystal, are you still in the hospital? How are you feeling now?"
"I'm out of the hospital, very lively. Christina, don't worry about me.”
Christina listened to her voice and thought she was more capable of drinking.
"Where are you now? Are you back in A City?"
"It's hard for me to come to F City. I plan to go around.” Crystal seemed to have gotten over herbeing fired and said excitedly about going to visit some old towns.
"Crystal, don't go to the old district. It's not fun and you might be blackmailed.”
Crystal held her phone and listened to Christina talking about the itinerary in F City. She wasstunned for a moment. "Christina, you seem to know F City very well?"
