Pay For Lovely Me
Chapter 53 It's Not What You Think

"The president went to the sanatorium to visit his mother."

Thinking of the scene that Jim wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Celia pursed her lips and said softly, "Hans, let's have a talk, okay?"

With sincere eyes and gentle words, Celia looked into the cold and evil black eyes of Hans. At this moment, she forget her current situation. Her eyes were as clear as water and as soft as silk.

There was a strange feeling in the bottom of Hans's heart. Every time he met her gentle and pure eyes, he seemed to be in a trance. The hatred in his heart suddenly dissipated, and then he could no longer be cruel.

After a long standoff, Hans snorted coldly and went into the bathroom without saying a word.

Celia keenly noticed the flash of struggle in his eyes. Seeing his tall and straight figure disappearing at the door, the doubt in her heart spread little by little until it suppressed her nerves and made her want to figure out the truth.

She always felt that there was a reason for the hatred in his eyes, not only because of the slap she gave him last time, but also because of something else.

Besides, she vaguely remembered that the little boy saved by her mother was injured near the heart. Although she was very young at that time and her memory was blurred. However, because her mother died for that incident, it imprinted in her heart.

This made her feel a little pity for Hans for no reason. Although she knew clearly that she should hate him and dislike him, as long as she saw the scar on his body, she could not help but feel pity for him.

When Hans came out of the bathroom, the coldness and arrogance had disappeared. Although his handsome face was still cold, it made Celia feel normal and a little relieved.

When she was thinking about how to begin the conversation and have a good talk with him, Hans spoke coldly, "There is a banquet tomorrow night. You can attend it with me."

After saying that, he strode out of her room without waiting for her answer. Celia's lips moved a few times, but finally she bit her tongue. Compared with the talk, she would rather to get rid of him. She didn't want to be humiliated and tortured by him later.

As for the banquet tomorrow, she thought that he just make a conversation casually. She was just his mistress, not his girlfriend. No, she was not even his mistress.

If he wanted to take someone there, he should take that woman whose surname was You.

But what Celia didn't know was that Hans invited her to attend the banquet was out of evil intention. It was just an insult. That's more, it was specially prepared for the Su family.

Even after a long time, Celia would think that if she knew what would happen that night, she would definitely try her best to refuse, even if pretend to be sick. But she couldn't predict it. Or perhaps she didn't expect that Hans would be so cruel.

In fact, it was not a big banquet. It was just a birthday party held by Allen, the second in command of his gang.

Of course, Lina was the woman that Hans brought to humiliate her that day!

Celia just knew something about Lina from Jim. The only thing she was sure about was that Hans loved that woman very much.

In the afternoon, Jim took Celia to choose a dress and do her hair. After a few hours of dressing up, she turned from a pure woman to a sexy and charming woman. Her black hair was coiled up, and there was a strand of curly hair on both cheeks, which made her more mature and charming.

The dress she wore was simple and elegant, which was the most conservative one among all the women that night. To her surprise, not only the gang members, but also many people in the business circles came to the birthday party. What surprised her most was that her mother, sister, brother, and Ryan had come as well.

Hans didn't go back to the villa to pick up Celia. He just called Jim to send her to the party. It seemed that he had calculated the time. When Celia arrived, she saw Hans and Lina coming out of another MPV. In the evening, Lina was in a red dress, sexy and enchanting, and Hans was in a black suit, tall and handsome. When Celia and Hans looked at each other, a hint of darkness quickly flashed across his deep eyes. Then he looked away, gently held Lina's arm and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.

"Miss Celia?"

Jim asked worriedly as he saw her staring at the backs of the two.

Celia pursed her lips slightly. Her slender figure looked a little sad in the dim light. There was a layer of haze between her eyebrows, which was particularly pitiful.

She didn't know what Hans that pervert meant. Since he had Lina as his female companion, why did he invite her? The most hateful thing was that he didn't even greet her. She didn't know the people inside. How could she get in?

Just as she was secretly angry and thinking about whether she should go back or not, a clear voice with a trace of joy came from behind, "Celia!"

Celia was a little surprised. She turned around and saw that Ryan was walking towards her. He was also in a formal suit. With a smiling face and a fine figure, except for the intimidating aura, he was not worse than Hans in appearance. More importantly, his smile made people feel at ease.

Perhaps she was infected by him, or perhaps she didn't want him to notice her awkward situation, Celia smiled and said in a cheerful tone, "Brother Ryan, why are you here? When did you discharge from the hospital?"

While speaking, Ryan had walked up to her. His clear eyes were bright, clearly reflecting her beautiful face. The joy and tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Celia, I left the hospital today. I didn't expect to meet you here today. You are so beautiful tonight. Let's go inside together."

There was no time for Celia to hesitate. Since that man had left her here, he would not come out to pick her up. If she went back, that freak would definitely make trouble for her again. Since Ryan was here for the banquet too, she could go in with him.

"Celia, are you waiting for Hans?"

Seeing her hesitation, his bright eyes darkened and he asked gently.

"Miss Celia, you can go in with Mr. Ryan."

Jim, who was standing aside, said softly. He also thought that the CEO would not come out for Miss Celia again, and Miss Celia could not go in by herself without the invitation. Although Jim did not understand why the CEO put her in a difficult position, he sincerely hoped that she would not be hurt.

The smile on Celia's face froze for a moment. Soon she replied happily, "Okay, let's go in together."

Hearing this, the light of hope came back to Ryan's deep eyes again.

"Okay!"

Celia didn't know why Ryan didn't bring a girl. In the past, he would bring a female companion to banquets, but tonight he came alone. Although Celia was a little confused, she didn't ask. Subconsciously, she didn't want to get too close to him now, for fear of bringing unnecessary trouble to him.

They entered the hall smoothly. The magnificent and charming atmosphere was nothing to Celia. The first thing she did after entering the hall was to look around for the figure of Hans.

At a glance, she saw a tall and straight figure in the crowd. He was talking and laughing with a man about forty years old. Beside him, Lina looked lovingly at him.

"Celia, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she let go of him, Ryan was a little confused. He followed her gaze and saw the man in the crowd. A touch of gloom quickly flashed across his eyes. When he looked down at Celia again, his heart was filled with softness and pain. He held her hand instinctively and said, "Celia, let me take you to eat some food there first. I'll say hello to the host later."

Of course he knew Allen, but he didn't understand why Allen sent the invitation to his father. They had always been minding their own business.

As soon as he held Celia's hand, he felt a sharp light shooting in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that Hans squinted slightly and looked at them with a sneer on his lips. "Ryan, don't worry about me."

Seeing the expression in Hans's eyes, Celia couldn't help but shiver. She struggled to withdraw her hand from Ryan's.

"Celia, what are you afraid of?"

With a strong force from Ryan's hand, Celia couldn't get rid of him. She looked worried. When meeting his gentle and firm eyes, her heart trembled again. When she was about to say something, she heard a sneer from Hans, "Celia, you're really something. You seduced a man in a few minutes!"

Fortunately, there was no one else at the position where they stood. Celia looked up in surprise and anger. She saw that Hans and Lina were two steps away, and behind him stood the man who had just spoken to him. To her surprise, she didn't know this man at all. Why did he look at her with such disgust and coldness, just like the resentment that Hans often showed?

"Mr. Hans, please don't get me wrong. Celia and I have known each other since childhood. It's not what you think."

The implication was that Hans was filthy!
