Chapter 223 : No one’s face will be sold
This night Burton, as they had hoped, did not make it up the mountain, if not for Mack coming over in the morning, it is estimated that he will have to stay at the bottom of the mountain for a few hours.
When Hector did it, he took his cell phone and left him only a few dozen dollars in change, but took everything else.
Burton just got out of jail, the first day he did not sleep at night, is to give him a hundred guts, he would not dare to do so.
Old Mr. Grant saw that he seemed to be hurt badly, not salty comfort two words, let Jack notify the medical team to come to him, and said nothing else.
Bruce and Lindsey have ghosts in their hearts and want to bail on the pretext that they still have things to do.
Seeing that the two of them were about to walk out of the living room, Old Mr. Grant coughed dryly and said, “You two accompany me to the mountains for a little activity.”
“Oh …” Bruce took a step, pulling Lindsey slowly around. “It’s cloudy out, and it could rain at any time.”
Old Mr. Grant cast a noncommittal glance at Bruce and his eyes fell on Lindsey. “Lindsey, you’re the doctor, say yes or no.”
“Go ahead, of course I’ll go.” A big smile appeared on Lindsey’s face. “What Grandpa said was right.”
Old Mr. Grant smiled brightly at that, walked ahead with his hands behind his back, and slowly made his way out of the courtyard door.
Lindsey tugged on Bruce’s arm and dragged him along at a quicker pace to follow.
Fortunately, Old Mr. Grant didn’t say anything and didn’t ask what time they returned last night, and went back to Nine Lakes Mountain after the event and breakfast.
Lindsey and Bruce finished eating, faked a visit to Burton, and took the car back to the city.
Bruce finished his rehab and it was only 10:00 am. Lindsey received a call from Professor Lee’s assistant, so we went to the Academy together.
With less than half a month left until the end of summer, there was a lot of paperwork to be done before school started.
The place Lindsey most wanted to go was the Red Cross, but considering that Hui Ai had become the focus of media attention, she backed off and agreed to teach at the Academy.
When they came out of Professor Lee’s office, it suddenly started to rain and thunder rumbled outside.
The two of them waited for Hector to drive over to pick them up as the rain was getting heavier and heavier. As they were talking, they saw Randy and Aurora, talking and laughing, coming from the other side of the corridor.
Lindsey unconsciously skimmed her lips and unobtrusively exchanged glances with Bruce.
“What a coincidence to run into each other again.” Randy opened his mouth first, his gaze flickering over Lindsey. “Miss Lindsey please don’t think too much, it’s definitely a coincidence this time.”
“For Mr. Randy, whenever we meet is a coincidence.” Lindsey smiled coquettishly. “If you tell a lot of lies, they will naturally become true.”
Bruce’s brow knitted slightly, even his smile was stingy and perfunctory. “What kind of people make what kind of friends, Lindsey, you don’t need to be common sense with him.”
Randy’s face changed slightly, too fast for people to catch. “Speaking of which, I’m still a year older than you, so why don’t we have dinner together since we met?”
“Sorry, none of us like to eat with strangers.” Lindsey spoke with a decent smile before Bruce could speak. “I won’t bother Mr. Randy.”
“It’s fine.” Randy smiled and politely extended his hand to Lindsey. “See you later.”
Lindsey stared at his outstretched hand, the corner of her mouth twitched, and a touch of teasing flashed at the bottom of her clear, bright eyes.
Shi Shi extended her hand, she inclined her head to look at Bruce and smiled. “I’m afraid Mr. Randy is thinking too much, it’s better if we meet again later.”
As she said this, Lindsey’s hand suddenly increased in strength, tugging downward in an instant, and then releasing.
Randy looked at Lindsey dumbfounded, his face looked extremely unnatural: “You …”
Lindsey had an innocent smile on her face, feigning incomprehension. “Mr. Randy couldn’t have something else to say.”
Randy’s cold face, vaguely floating a touch of unnatural dark red, did not answer.
Bruce took the umbrella from Hector and opened it to cover Lindsey’s head, carefully escorting her to the car.
The Jeep with military A plates was in the rain, and in a flash it was gone.
The muscles on Randy’s brow twitched and he sighed secretly, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
Although he had seen Lindsey’s hands, it seemed to him that it was at most a fancy fist and a stance. The real encounter with the powerful, a move will have to cry.
But he did not expect, Lindsey hands underneath is a real kung fu, and the courage is really big enough.
The one she just hit, absolutely fast, accurate and vicious, but he could not blame her, let alone say it.
A major in the hall, someone removed his arm in the middle of a joke. If word of this gets out, many people will have their jaws broken, and he won’t have to be in B City anymore.
Aurora kept staring at the direction of the school gate until nothing was visible, and only then did she withdraw her eyes in anger.
She knew Bruce loved Lindsey, but seeing him so considerate and caring for each other, her heart was unbalanced.
Turning her head, she unconsciously looked at Randy and was shocked to find that his face looked unusually ugly. She couldn’t help but be concerned, “Randy, are you okay?”
“Probably an old injury, I have to go back to the mountain first, Selena side you will help me explain later.” Randy’s back vaguely layer of cold sweat, the muscles of the brow tremble more powerfully. “You go first.”
“All right then.” Aurora didn’t say anything, waited for the driver to bring the car over, and left early.
As soon as she left, Randy’s face turned extremely ugly and quickly got into his car, instructing the driver to go to the third hospital to find Jimmy.
This Lindsey, more than a little interesting, simply too interesting!
At this time, Lindsey, who was on his mind, and Bruce were still on their way back to the old house in a happy mood.
“Did you do something bad to be so happy.” Bruce thought back to the process of meeting with Randy, and didn’t find Lindsey had abnormal actions.
Lindsey deliberately sold out, extended her right hand to hold his left hand and shook it gently.
Bruce was abruptly surprised, then laughed. “You, you should know that he is now a division chief, you are a little too bold.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Didn’t grandpa say that whoever bullies me will fight back.” Lindsey looked at him with a smirk. “What, you’re scared.”
“What am I afraid of? I’m not the one who’s embarrassed.” Bruce firmly denied. “I’m actually quite looking forward to seeing him get defeated.”
“It’s not right to fall on your sword.” Lindsey laughed again. “That’s a secret technique my grandfather taught me, not to do it easily, but to do it completely.”
Bruce reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, agreeing with deep conviction. “I’m convinced, he must also be convinced.”
Lindsey lifted her chin in triumph, accepting his praise with open arms.
After lunch at the old house, a call came from the foundation. Lindsey took the phone and chatted for a moment, then opened her laptop.
Bruce saw the situation and ordered the logistics to cut the fruit over, and he also turned on the computer to handle the company’s business.
The company’s business was busy until 2 p. m. Lindsey was too tired to open her eyes, so she pulled him along to take a nap.
In the evening, Burton was much more honest and didn’t dare to go to the table without Old Mr. Grant’s order.
Lindsey and Bruce finished eating and played chess with Old Mr. Grant as usual, as if nothing had happened.
After three or four days of peace, the results of Leon’s DNA test came out and Old Mr. Grant held another family meeting.
Burton’s arm had been put right, but the bruises on his face were still very visible.
Lindsey sat in the corner, and every now and then received Kaley’s murderous stare, and smiled.
Burton had been in prison for several years, and his brain had not seen the flexibility, knowing that Old Mr. Grant would not do it for him, but also told Kaley about it.
Since the old days, a loving mother has a lot of bad children, just do not know Kaley next, how will deal with their own, think about it is looking forward to.
The family meeting was basically about Leon’s funeral, and Lindsey was not allowed to speak, nor was she allowed to speak.
After the meeting was over, she went upstairs and sat down for a few minutes before she was called by Old Mr. Grant.
Knocking on the door of the study, she sat down in a dignified manner opposite Old Mr. Grant. “Grandpa, you wanted to see me?”
“Is it uncomfortable to stay over here these days?” Old Mr. Grant’s gaze was like a torch. “The fire is so strong.”
“It’s been a good stay.” Lindsey hung her head in confusion, wondering if Old Mr. Grant was talking about Randy or Burton.
Old Mr. Grant raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up his cup of tea in his old manner, and added, “Burton is indeed untalented, and you and Bruce are too hard on him.”
“Uh …” Lindsey responded with an awkward smile. “We’ll take care of that next time.”
“That’s not the main thing I wanted to talk to you about today, either.” Old Mr. Grant took a sip of tea and looked up at her, “The funeral is over and it’s time for you to go through the formalities.”
Lindsey knew it was about the marriage formalities and nodded, responding, “Good.”
“Since you agree, let Jack do it for you.” Old Mr. Grant smiled away in satisfaction. “Well it’s getting late, go get some rest.”
“Oh …” Lindsey breathed a sigh of relief and went straight from the study to the guest room.
Bruce and Aidan were still downstairs discussing the funeral, and when he returned from his busy day, it was early morning.
After Lindsey washed up, she went to the mountain with Old Mr. Grant as usual, but she ran into Randy again.
It was obvious that Old Mr. Grant was still very fond of Randy, and his smile was almost unbroken during the conversation.
Lindsey stood aside and listened openly, not feeling vain about what she had done a few days ago.
After talking for about twenty minutes, Randy suddenly said, “Old Mr. Grant, I heard that you have adopted Lindsey as your granddaughter, Randy has an idea, I don’t know if I should mention it or not.”
“Go ahead.” Old Mr. Grant smiled, his eyes as calm as a pond, he could not see the slightest emotion.
Randy cleared his throat, looked past Lindsey and calmly looked at Old Mr. Grant. “Randy wants to propose a marriage.”
The moment these words came out, Old Mr. Grant’s eyes flashed, and the murderous aura in his body suddenly leaked out, looking straight at Randy. “You have guts, but you are not as good as your father.”
“Old Mr. Grant, what do you mean by that?” Randy pretended to be confused. “Randy doesn’t understand.”
Old Mr. Grant’s eyes were awe-inspiring and he said loudly, “Lindsey is not only my granddaughter, but also my granddaughter-in-law of The Grant family.”
Randy’s face remained unchanged and he said calmly. “Randy lost his tongue, I hope Old Mr. Grant won’t take it to heart.”
“You dare to play mind games in front of me, you are not afraid that Alfredo Gregor, the old man, will offend you.” Old Mr. Grant was obviously angry. “Or do you think that you have hardened your wings and dare to call my bluff!”
