Chloe was astonished to see the man. “Jonah, why are you here? Didn’t the president invite you for ameal?”
The man was none other than Chloe’s husband, Jonah Campbell. Right before he spoke, hecoincidentally laid eyes on Sasha. The sight of her stunned him, but he managed to recollect himselfquickly as he chuckled. “Oh, it’s because President Gonzalez has something coming up. You know, ourcompany is involved in a major project with Creative Cloud Group of Cathay. President Gonzalez has anappointment with the president of Creative Cloud Group, Miss Leanna Sandel, regarding the upcomingcollaboration. Since I have yet to officially join the company, it’s not appropriate for me to join thediscussion, so I came here instead.”
Minerva was astounded. “Is that true? Didn’t you say that an appointment with Leanna Sandel is hard tocome by? Not even our chairman got to meet her, so how did President Gonzalez secure anappointment with her? Could it be that you’re reaching an agreement regarding the collaborationalready?”
With a smile, Jonah nodded. “I suppose President Sandel realized we’re being sincere regarding ouroffer. President Gonzalez went to wait on her as soon as we received news that President Sandel wouldbe having dinner here.”
Minerva was overjoyed upon being informed of that. “This is great! Dad, you will be the regionalpresident of Gonzalez Corporation in the Cathay area if the negotiations are a success!” As she spoke,she gazed at the Cunninghams condescendingly, obviously showing off her family’s success.
On the contrary, Demi wore a look of disdain. “It’s not that hard to secure an appointment with Leanna.She would come as soon as Matthew gave her a call. This is nothing to be proud of.” However, nobodyheard what she muttered under her breath.
Meanwhile, Jonah waved his hand smilingly. “Oh, it’s just a minor position. There’s nothing to brag about.Come on, have a seat. We’re all family, so let’s enjoy the feast together!” He sat down at the spotopposite to the door after circling around the table. At the same time, he still had his eyes fixed on Sashawith a lecherous look in them.
Chloe didn’t seem to have noticed her husband’s odd behavior as she laughed. “Helen, you should goabroad if you have time to spare. You’ll replace out that foreign countries are drastically different fromCathay. For example, I nearly suffocated as soon as I stepped off the plane. Cathay has poor air quality,whereas the air abroad is refreshing. I was worried that I would replace it hard to adapt to life abroad backthen, but you know what? I fell in love with the place as soon as I got there! Geez, Cathay can’t evenbegin to compare with that place. Cathay is so poor and underdeveloped. Compared to foreign countries,this place is utter hell!”
Upon hearing that, Helan smiled awkwardly. “Well, that’s not necessarily the case. Cathay has beenmaking great progress as of late.”
Minerva smirked in response. “Great progress? Aunt Helen, that’s bold of you to make such claims! Howdare you spew such nonsense without having ever gone abroad? Cathay is at least a hundred yearsbehind the West in terms of development. What proof do you have to back your claim?”
That instantly riled the Cunninghams up; they perceived Minerva’s words as a slight. At the same time,Matthew wore a frown before making a casual remark. “You’re exaggerating things. If you trace theWest’s history back to a century ago, you won’t even see cars on the streets. Following that line of logic,you wouldn’t even be able to contact us on mobile phones if we really are a century behind them.”
Being talked back at infuriated Minerva. “What do you mean by that? Why are you getting all riled upwhen I was merely giving an example to illustrate how underdeveloped Cathay is? It’s true that Cathay islagging in terms of economy, and it is so underdeveloped! I don’t see what’s wrong with pointing out the
truth. Haha, you sure lack self-confidence. You won’t be able to command respect from anybody else ifyou behave like that.”
Matthew retorted nonchalantly, “You have to make sense when you’re giving examples. Otherwise, whatdifference is there between this and boasting?”
His words amused the Cunninghams, for he was outright mocking Minerva for fabricating lies, whichvisibly irked her. Before she could bite back, Helen stepped in to smooth things over. “Oh, we’re family,so let’s not argue about these! Come, give us the menu! We’d like to order our food.”
After the waiter brought them the menu, Helen handed it to Chloe. “Have a look and order away. Youmust have missed the local cuisine after spending so many years abroad. I suppose you don’t get tohave local Cathian dishes often, right? You can order whatever you like!”
Upon hearing that, Chloe gladly took the menu. “To be honest, I don’t actually miss local food. As youmight know, we get to feast on wine and lavish meals often while abroad. Now that I’ve returned, I nolonger feel like having the cheap stuff that we used to have. Come on, Tate, Minnie, take a look and seeif you have anything that you might want.”
Tate was still tapping away on his phone. “Just order me a steak.”
Pouting, Minerva didn’t take the menu either. “Steak? Don’t forget that you’re in Cathay, so don’t ask forthe impossible! Didn’t Mom used to say that they could only have meat during festive occasions? Thereare online articles that indicate that the people of Cathay can’t even afford eggs, so don’t tell me you’reexpecting that they have steak here? You’re being overly demanding to Aunt Helen’s family!”
Tate was outraged when he heard that. “What do you suggest that I eat then? I don’t care! I’m not havingany sh*tty food! I want steak! Don’t offer to buy a meal if you can’t even afford steak!”
