Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1212
On such an occasion, Anthea would definitely not believe that Adam was coming.
She looked up and saw Emerson's casual but somewhat evil smile. "Little girl, I said we'll meet again, right?" Anthea was secretly aggrieved. She didn't want to admit that they were "predestined" to meet again.
Furthermore, Adam was also here. Anthea had to express her standpoint indirectly!
She just nodded and said, "Young Master Chiang!"
Emerson raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see me?"
"No... Don't think too much about it!" Anthea replied with a faint smile.
Emerson didn't seem to care about Anthea's attitude, and his eyes fell onto her body languidly.
The feeling of seeing Anthea was almost the same as the first time they met at the birthday party. She was still wearing a skirt, and only two white ankles were exposed because of the long hemline. She didn't look like the other women at the party who were generally with heavy makeup. Anthea didn't wear any makeup. She looked like a budding flower, incredibly tender and delicate.
Emerson couldn't help recall the scenes that Anthea was saving him.
She tore off the hem of her skirt, revealing two slender and straight legs...
Emerson's throat was a little dry every time he thought about it.
However, Emerson still kept a straight face. He asked with a smile, "Little girl, is your leg okay now?"
"Well... It's okay now. Thank you for your concern!" Anthea nodded.
Emerson asked her again, "Little girl, don't you care why I'm here?"
Anthea replied, "I heard your answer just now!"
Emerson looked at her with a faint smile that was almost unnoticeable. The answer he gave Master Hsu was just a temporary excuse.
"Little girl, I'm here for you!"
But Emerson did not say it out at that time. He kept it in his heart to avoid scaring her away.
Emerson, with his hands behind his back, behaved like an eloquent big brother. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed it to Anthea. "At the end of this month, the concert of this pop star will be held here. You girls must like him very much, right? I have two VIP tickets in my hand. Would you like to go with me?"
Looking at the posters for the propaganda of the concert on the screen, Emerson sighed in his heart.
If it was in the past, he would never do such a thing. When the assistants to him heard that their Young Master was asking her to get two VIP concert tickets because he wanted to go there with a particular girl, they all looked at him with a particularly shocked look.
Young Master Schain had always been surrounded by women who admired him so much. But why did he suddenly decide to pay so much attention to that girl?
That girl whom Young Master Schain admired must be special.
"I'm sorry, Young Master Chiang! I can't go with you." Anthea shook her head.
Emerson frowned. "Why? You don't like concerts?"
Anthea explained, "I do like it, and I haven't attended a concert yet! But it's just because I can't go with you."
"Why's that?" Emerson looked at her puzzledly.
Anthea curved her eyes and brows. When she smiled tenderly, the small dimples on her cheeks would be faintly noticeable. "I have a boyfriend now.
I'm afraid he'll be unhappy!"
When Emerson at first saw Anthea's bright smile, his heart was filled with happiness and fancying. He was then in a good mood.
But when he suddenly heard that she already had had a boyfriend, his face became stiffened and gloomy.
Anthea smiled and nodded. "Young Master Chiang, grandpa is calling me! I have to go now!"
Emerson watched her charming figure leaving. He, after all, was a mature man, and therefore he just raised his eyebrows high, laughed bitterly, and raised his hand to pinch his chin. Anthea's indirect refusal was not even a blow to him. He saw this as a challenge, and his interest in Anthea didn't wane.
Anthea walked back to Master Hsu.
Because of Emerson's interruption, she almost didn't eat anything at all. She took a cup of beverage from the tray held by a servant next to her.
In the middle of the party, Master Hsu put down the goblet in his hand, as if he had something to say.
When the relatives and old friends sitting nearby all looked over, Master Hsu cleared his throat and said, "I'm so glad that so many of you have come to this party. I have something to tell you tonight. I would like to introduce this girl to all of you. This is my
granddaughter, Anthea!"
The Old Master pulled Anthea to a position in front of him.
She was quite surprised and looked at the old man. "Grandpa..."
Master Hsu patted her hand to calm her down and let her stand with him.
Although there was no microphone in the hall, Master Hsu's voice was so loud that the guests nearby could hear it clearly.
In fact, most of the guests had heard of this granddaughter who had been raised outside of the Hsu family.
They knew that the eldest son of the Hsu family died young, and then his wife and daughter had lived abroad for many years. Back then, the car accident that killed the eldest son of the Hsu family was reported by the newspapers, which caused heated discussion. Later, the news and gossips concerning the car accident were gradually pressed down because of PR efforts made by the Hsu family.
Everyone knew that Master Hsu had a granddaughter who had been raised outside of the Hsu family, but they had never seen her before. Tonight, Master Hsu introduced his granddaughter to the public and therefore identified her status in the Hsu family.
It happened so suddenly that Anthea was totally unprepared.
The other hand of her, which was hanging beside her leg, was cold.
Her long eyelashes quickly lowered and covered her eyes, hiding her emotions deeply.
Earlier, Master Hsu had told her that something had to be announced during the party, but she didn't expect it to have anything to do with herself! No wonder Madam Jiles looked at her with enmity when she came to the party!
If she had paid more attention to it and asked her grandfather about it in advance, she might still be able to stop his plans.
Now that the Old Master had admitted her identity and status in the public, everyone knew that Anthea Lee was the granddaughter of the Hsu family. Anthea had never thought about taking advantage of the Hsu family's wealth and fame. Moreover, it was not a good thing for Adam and her...
She subconsciously wanted to see Adam, but she was afraid of revealing any clues of their relationship to the others.
Her fingernails almost scraped her palms out of mental pressure, while her heart was flogging.
Anthea pretended to be calm.
One of Master Hsu's old friends, Brock Weil, came forward with a smile and joked, "Old Hsu, you have been hiding your granddaughter well! She is pretty and lovely! Is she is still a student? My grandson has just graduated this year and is still single. I want to introduce her to be my grandson's girlfriend. What do you think of that?"
"Brock, that won't do!" Master Hsu shook his head.
"Why not? My grandson is also a very outstanding young man!" Brock hurriedly added.
Master Hsu explained with a smile, "Oh... Brock, don't worry. Of course, I know that your grandson is a very outstanding young man! However, my granddaughter has already had a boyfriend, and they love each other deeply. I can't break up a loving couple like them, right?"
"Ah... What a pity!"
"Ha... Ha!"
Listening to the two old men's joking words, Anthea was not amused at all.
After Brock left, Master Hsu pulled Anthea aside. "What's wrong, Anthea? Did you get upset because Grandpa didn't discuss it with you in advance?"
"No..." Anthea shook her head. Of course, she could not be so ungrateful as to reveal her thoughts directly. She could only bite her lips and say, "Grandpa, I am fine now!"
"I know!" Old Master Hsu took her hand and said lovingly, "But this is what Grandpa wants to do for you. Don't worry, I won't require you to change your family name. I just want you to be included in the family book, and your whole life will not change. You can still live with your adoptive parents, and your name is Anthea Lee!"
