Chapter 316 : The Wrong Family
Grady wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned his head and winked at the bodyguard behind him, and immediately piled up a smile when he faced Bruce. “This is our supreme card, with this card, you don’t need to locate any high-end restaurant in Dongjiang to dine.”
Bruce didn’t take it, nor did he say anything else, looking at Lindsey with a concerned face. “Can you still eat, can’t eat we change places, I remember on the way here, there seems to be a fast food restaurant.”
Lindsey glanced at Grady and nodded happily. “Then we’d better go to a fast food restaurant to eat, so as not to be disgusted again later.”
Grady panicked at the sound of this and stopped them with a smile. “Mr. Grant please stay, how about this, I’ll show you the way to try the famous local specialties.”
Bruce looked around as if he hadn’t heard him and asked Lindsey in a gentle voice, “Lindsey, where do you think you’re going?”
“Since Mr. Grady is willing to lead the way, let’s change the place.” Lindsey saw that Grady was about to cry in anxiety, so she simply let go: “Let’s go.”
Grady was overjoyed and immediately got up to make a respectful gesture.
Lindsey stood up indifferently, held Bruce’s hand, and slowly went out of the public dining area.
If she had known that she would be pestered for a meal, she should have dragged Bruce back to her quarters and let him cook for herself.
When she left the lobby, a cold breeze blew in her face, Lindsey sneezed, and the next thing she knew, she had a heavy coat on her body.
Lindsey’s cheeks reddened slightly and she met Bruce’s gaze with a smile, pouting, “It’s okay, it’s just that my nose is a little itchy from the cold breeze.”
“It’s okay to wear it too.” Bruce’s arm reached out, easily pulling her into his arms, carefully helping her into the car.
Grady’s car drove ahead and led them around the city for a while before turning into an alley that looked quite old.
Lindsey looked through the car window and saw the rustic brick walls on both sides of the alley, and her mood gradually changed for the better.
The car drove back and forth in the alley for a while, and finally stopped outside an ordinary-looking courtyard.
Lindsey got out of the car and looked admiringly at the overly weathered stone lion in front of the gate, only after a while did she notice the plaque hanging on the left side of the gate – Juxiang Yuan.
Bruce glanced sideways at Grady and smiled, “I never thought there would be such a secluded place in this bustling downtown.”
Grady laughed and went forward to signal the waiter to open the door.
Once inside the front door, it was a different scene.
Compared to The Grant family’s old mansion, this is a very typical Jiangnan garden, it is difficult to see the whole inside at a glance, in the most suitable place with elaborate lighting, so that the garden looks so graceful at night.
Grady led the way and introduced the food here with warm words.
Lindsey knew he wanted to make friends, but he didn’t expect this man to have something in his stomach, not the kind of thug who only makes money and has an empty stomach.
After entering the elegant room, a tea maker immediately came in to make tea, and the room was soon filled with the faint scent of tea.
Lindsey smiled, glanced at Bruce, and said, “This place makes you feel relaxed.”
“That’s good that you like it.” Bruce patted her hand and his eyes fell on Grady. “I wonder what Mr. Grady’s intention is in insisting on being company today?”
Grady wiped the sweat off his forehead again and said with a smile, “Mr. Grant is flattering, I am not the president of anything, but I heard that Mr. Grant has opened several restaurants of good quality in B City, so I would like to have some advice.”
“Sure.” Bruce picked up his cup of tea and took a sip of tea, smiling again. “This is the finest Wuyi rock tea, Mr. Grady broke the bank.”
Grady waved his hand politely and once again took out the card he hadn’t given out earlier at the hot pot restaurant. “Mrs. Grant if you like it here, you are welcome to come often.”
Lindsey did not refuse this time, but took it with a smile and a polite and decent thank you.
Grady was overjoyed and immediately ordered the waiter to inform the kitchen to serve the food. From Bruce to Dongjiang, he had been trying to get in touch with him for the past few months, but he didn’t expect that he would inadvertently meet him for dinner at his store.
What he didn’t expect was that his wife looked very young and somewhat familiar.
Bruce is now at ease in the barracks, the business is mostly managed by Lindsey, Charlotte and Cary and others, so he can not say too warm to Grady.
After all, his identity is there, in case someone catches this handle, said he arrived at the station, and ganged up, this hat down, his future is basically ruined.
As we talked, the food was quickly served.
Lindsey was indeed a little hungry, and was disgusted by the people in the seafood city, and now that he saw the food, his stomach felt even hungrier.
After picking up her chopsticks and taking a bite of the grilled oysters, she closed her eyes in satisfaction and said with a smile, “So fresh.”
“Eat slowly.” Bruce rubbed the top of her head with amusement and turned his head to Grady, “Mr. Grady, please.”
“Mr. Grant too.” Grady saw Lindsey eating happily, and he was in a good mood too. “I heard that Mrs. Grant also started a charity fund, I wonder if I have the honor to participate in one or two.”
Lindsey swallowed the food in her mouth, reached out to wipe her mouth with a tissue, and smiled back, “I’m not running the fund right now, but if Mr. Grady wants to donate money, he can go directly to the Red Cross website, which has our fund account number.”
“Donating money is definitely necessary, I was wondering if I could cooperate with your fund to set up nutrition kitchens in remote elementary school in China.” Grady smilingly stated his purpose. “By the way, I will advertise my diet group.”
“How about this, it just so happens that members of the fund’s management team will be coming to Dongjiang some time later, so I’ll introduce you then.” Lindsey carefully pondered over his words and felt that it seemed feasible. “As for the details of the cooperation, it is better for you to talk to her personally.”
“Grady thanks Mrs. Grant,” Grady’s smile widened as she heard that this was a possibility. “I’d like to toast you both with a cup of tea instead of wine.”
Bruce picked up his cup of tea and exchanged glances with Lindsey without moving, thinking that this fat man is really not the usual shrewd ah.

Lindsey in B City, in fact, can also often eat special seafood, some even just out of the sea on the air.
It’s just that the chef’s skills in logistics are average, and the taste is not good every time.
After tasting the dishes on the table one after another, Lindsey gave Grady a thumbs up in satisfaction. “The taste is awesome.”
“Mrs. Grant likes it just fine.” Grady smilingly took over, eating and describing the origin of the restaurant and the dishes the chef specializes in.
Lindsey smiled and contentedly gorged herself.
Grady had the screens removed, and the mountains and willows outside the window were shaded in the light, which was very attractive.
Bruce picked up the cup of tea, just sniffing carefully, half a day did not bring to the mouth.
Grady saw his action, smiled awkwardly, left a card and got up to say goodbye.
Lindsey was unsure, and when he left couldn’t help but ask Bruce. “What did you say to him, why did he run so fast.”
“I didn’t say anything, I just didn’t really like him staying here.” Bruce smiled and took a sip of his tea, his eyes burning into her. “It’s so easy to be alone with you for a while, and he’s standing here in the way.”
Lindsey was speechless, thinking that Grady had already left, so she didn’t bother.
The two of them went out to get the car and went straight back to the premises after staying at Juxiang Yuan until after nine o’clock in the night.
The home is cold everywhere, Lindsey entered the door and hid back in the bedroom, shrinking into the blanket. “This place is so cold, I thought it would be a little better than B City.”
“It can’t be helped by the rain, it’ll be better when the sun comes out.” Bruce turned on the electric oil-ring and went to fetch some hot water over to soak her feet. “How about you stay at the hotel?”
“I’d rather not, so someone won’t have to snitch on you for being in and out of fancy hotels all day.” Lindsey lazily stretched out her feet. “Low profile is the way to go.”
Bruce took her white and tender foot and carefully dipped it into the basin with hot water, his handsome face wearing a doting and affectionate smile. “It’s just too much for you.”
Lindsey covered the blanket and poked her head out with a big yawn. “There is no aggravation ah, this is good, besides grandpa does not want us to show off.”
Bruce was silent and lowered his head to carefully wash her feet.
The next day Bruce got up before dawn and went to the training ground, Lindsey woke up and organized the kitchen, and asked the guards to help, went to the nearby market to buy some food back, and cooked himself.
Almost noon, Bruce came back from the training ground, and once he entered the door, he sniffed deeply with happiness. “Wife, you are so nice.”
“Don’t be silly, go wash your hands and eat, or your son will be hungry.” Lindsey poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at him with amusement. “Tired, huh?”
“Not tired, but those boys, they’re about to cry from me.” Bruce laughed and entered the kitchen, pulling her into his arms and kissing her solidly for a while before letting go.
Lindsey made him dizzy with kisses, so angry and funny.
This man, who was so powerful on the outside, was a complete child at home.
After a few days of calm, the weather improved, and every day was sunny and clear. Larissa and Hector, too, arrived in Dongjiang at this time.
Lindsey received a call and booked a hotel for the two in the city, arranged for a guard to pick them up, and stayed in the hotel lobby to wait.
This hotel, one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in Dongjiang, is also the property of Grady’s Dong Hui Group.
The lobby was decorated with the utmost luxury and the piano music played live was soothing and relaxing.
Lindsey took a sip of milk and was surprised when a man suddenly appeared in the empty seat opposite.
“Is this lady waiting for someone?” The man’s voice was a little hoarse and coarse, and his sexy thin lips were slightly hooked. “I wonder if I have the honor? I can make friends with Miss.”
Lindsey raised her eyes, smiling at him, and continued to look down, checking the food presentation in the tablet.
The man was stunned, not the least bit surprised to sit down, demeanor elegantly extending his own hand. “I’m Anthony Johnson.”
Anthony Johnson? I didn’t expect to meet the guy who helped Burton with that overseas story a month or so ago!
Lindsey looked up lazily, noticed the signature diamond stud in his left ear, and smiled abruptly. “Mr. Johnson, you’re disturbing me.”
The dazzling smile caused Anthony Johnson’s heart and soul to shake slightly, but unfortunately the words were not very nice. Hooked his lips, the feminine and handsome face, in due course, revealed a clear and light smile. “Do you know who I am?”
“No.” Lindsey smiled sweetly as she raised her head, her voice clear but not overpowering. “And don’t want to know!”
