Chapter 180 Parents Meet
Heloise knew that she was dissatisfied and she did not need her approval.
Seeing that she did not speak, she announced unilaterally, “The date is settled. I will leave after the engagement.”
After saying that, she glanced at Kristen. Kristen immediately lowered her head like an obedient cat.
After dinner, Kristen returned to her room and threw herself on the bed with a heavy sigh.
It would be fine if her aunt didn’t come back, but she had set her eyes on her as soon as she came back.
It just so happened that Ethan was still in her hands, so she didn’t dare to be willful.
“Little sister, why are you sighing?”
Aldrich walked in with a smile and only got a supercilious look from Kristen.
“What are you doing here?”
“Don’t say that. Big bro is just worried about you.”
Aldrich walked over and sat down on a chair. He asked her with a smile, “You don’t want to get engaged to Elvis Sterling? I think he’s a good man.”
Kristen remained silent. Aldrich insensibly approached her and asked, “You like Ethan so much. What’s so good about him?”
“He’s better than you.”
Kristen gritted her teeth, it seemed like he had nothing else to say.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Humph, how can he compare with me?”
Aldrich was very arrogant. Seeing Kristen’s unhappy and distressed look, he said, “All right, don’t be sad. Shall I take you to play games?”
“No, I’m not interested.”
Kristen snorted and did not forget to complain. “There are only games in your mind. Are you going to play games for the rest of your life?”
“What’s so bad about the game? Big Bro is developing a virtual reality game. If it’s successfully developed, it might even replace my girlfriend. However, Fifth Bro is a little short of money, do you want to invest in it? It’s a steady earner.”
Aldrich was immersed in his ideas and did not forget to take out his mobile phone to show her the model.
“Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother came to ask me for money again.”
Kristen yelled at the top of her voice and saw Aldrich standing up in a hurry from the corner of her eyes.
“Stop shouting. Look at you, why are you screaming?”
Kristen turned her head. “Go pester them. I have no money.”
“You have no business sense at all. This is such a good idea. Why don’t you inherit my wisdom?”
Aldrich looked exasperated at Kristen’s failure to live up to his expectations.
“Okay, don’t brainwash my little sister. Get out of here.”
Zeev walked in with a glass of juice in his hand.
Aldrich saw his second brother coming and hurried to him with his mobile phone. “Second brother, this app is really good. Once it goes on the market, it will be a hit. At that time, it will be a big profit.”
Zeev smiled and said, “Big Brother said that you can’t rely on us.”
Aldrich quibbled. “How can you call it relying on my family? If it weren’t for the electric competition, I would have done it myself.”
Zeev urged, “Okay, your third brother wants to talk to you. Maybe you can discuss it with him.”
When Aldrich heard that it was feasible, he hurried out of the room.
The third Brother stayed in the army every day and didn’t have any place to spend his money. Maybe he could invest in him.
“Have some juice.” Zeev handed the juice to Kristen.
Kristen took it and snorted. “Third Brother will never agree to it.”
“They need a training partner. Aldrich is just right.”
“Hahaha, then he’s finished.”
Kristen took pleasure in his misfortune. The third Brother was a soldier. Once he started training, there would be no end to it. This time, Fifth Brother would have to be skinned alive.
Zeev sat down and adjusted his glasses. He looked like a scholar.
“Sister, what are you going to do now?”
Kristen seemed to have found a target to pour out her feelings to and muttered aggrievedly, “Second Brother, Aunt has made it difficult for me. I have no room to resist in front of her. I don’t know what to do.”
Zeev smiled and said, “You’re not afraid of anything, except for aunt.”
“Because she’s too strict.”
Kristen complained silently, but despite what she said, her aunt was like a mother in her heart.
Although her aunt was strict with her, it was enough to show the maternal love she lacked.
“Aunt is doing this for your good, we are doing this for your good. Kristen, you should understand that our family doesn’t need a marriage alliance anymore. If there is nothing good in Elvis, then Grandpa and Aunt won’t agree to this marriage either.”
Zeev saw her red eyes and his heart softened. He said, “Okay, okay. I’ve said I would support your decision. I’m here to tell you that no matter what you want to do, I’ll help you.”
Kristen perked up and asked cautiously, “Then… what if I run away from the wedding? Will you help me, Second Brother?”
“Kristen, don’t mess around.”
Zeev said seriously, “About the engagement, you can refuse, but you can’t run away from it. You can’t embarrass the two families.”
“Then what can I do?” Kristen was frustrated. Other than this, there was nothing else she could do.
Zeev touched her head and said, “You’re not a kid anymore. You should have your own opinions. Think about it.”
“Well.”
Kristen nodded sullenly. At least her second brother still supported her, which comforted her a little.
That afternoon, Elvis, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling came with gifts.
Kristen was dressed in pajamas, waiting for guests without makeup.
“What are you doing? Go back and change your clothes.”
Heloise’s eyes widened. Like a deflated balloon, Kristen obediently went back to change her clothes.
When Kristen came downstairs, the two families were chatting happily.
Mr. Old Oliver waved his hand and said, “Kristen, come over and say hello.”
Kristen walked down the stairs and greeted them obediently, “Uncle Sterling, Auntie Sterling.”
“Kristen is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up. I have watched all of your TV series and movies.”
After Mr. Sterling finished speaking with a smile, Mrs. Sterling asked her, “Kristen, I don’t know much about the entertainment industry. How much news in the entertainment circle is true, and how much is fake? I read a lot of news about you.”
the Oliver family looked a little embarrassed when they heard that.
After all, Kristen had received plenty of negative news about her ever since she debuted. It was rumored that she had changed seven or eight tycoons who kept her as a mistress, let alone anything else.
With a polite smile, Kristen replied, “Auntie, the authenticity of this entertainment news depends on yourself. If you believe it, it will be true. If you don’t believe it, it will be false. But most of it will still be true. After all, there is no smoke without fire.”
“Kristen.”
Heloise warned her, “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re up to.”
“I’m still here. How dare she play tricks under my eyes?”
Kristen was discouraged and didn’t say anything more.
However, Mrs. Sterling’s face darkened at these words.
She patted Elvis on the shoulder and pretended to sigh inadvertently. “My son has been very obedient since he was a child. He hasn’t had many girlfriends. It’s normal for girls to have some self-respect, not to mention my son is still so self-aware. Kristen, you’re so lucky in the future.”
“Mom.”
Elvis frowned. He understood what his mother meant. She wanted to make things difficult for Kristen in public.
