Chapter 92 All Quiet in Cleveque City (I)
Chapter 92 No Fights in Cleveque City (Part One)
At 6:30 in the evening, the Yin family compound was full of voices, and tonight's dinner to welcome Yin Chaoge's return was about to start. A well-known man in Tianhai City, a big shot, who was neatly dressed, walked into the house. Leng Yijun constantly shuttled in and out of the venue. Tonight, the Bass family, the Military Headquarters and the Patrol Department worked together on doing their best to secure the event. Everyone who entered must undergo X-ray testing. Not to mention hot weapons, even a small knife should not be brought in from the outside.
At 6:50 in the evening, Gao Weiwei, wearing a long black lace dress, came to the gate of Yin's house, but she did not dare to go in. The celebrities and noble ladies in Cleveque looked at her from time to time. The women were all curious and shocked when they saw the jewelry and clothes she was wearing/on her. The necklaces she was wearing was worth tens of millions of dollars, and the clothes she was wearing was designed by the most famous designers in Western Europe. Of course, Jayna herself was unaware of any of this, she was told by Ivan that these weren't expensive.
The lovely and somewhat silly Jayna, naively believed in Iwan, who claimed that he didn't spend much money on them. So at this moment, when she saw the Cleveque socialites wearing expensive jewelry and clothes, she actually felt dwarfed. If Iwan was here and knew it, he would probably be rendered speechless. How could Jayna, the wife of Iwan Cliff, feel inferior in front of any other woman?
"Jayna? Jayna, why are you still standing here? Hurry! Let's go in! The dinner party is about to start and the door will be closed soon. Let's go, hurry!" Just when Gao Weiwei felt inferior and wanted not to go in. Jane, who had called Jayna several times but failed to get through to her, rushed out of the venue. Upon seeing Jayna, Jane grabbed her hand and they hurried inside.
"Hey, Jane. I..." Jayna's hand was suddenly grabbed by Jane and she exclaimed. Almost as soon as the two of them entered the venue, the door behind them was closed. Gao Weiwei was even more nervous. She came from Pasoland city, an unfamous place. She had never attended such a grand event before.
And because Leng Yijun and Gao Weiwei ran in a hurry, when the two of them entered the yard, many people in the yard looked at them...
Naturally, Yin Zheng, who had just walked out of the villa, also saw Gao Weiwei who was forcibly pulled in by Hou Yijun.
'What the hell...' Owen was shocked and widened his eyes. and the next moment he was involuntarily frightened by Gao Weiwei and took a big step back. His heart was pounding in his heart out of shock. Jayna's showing up here terrified him. All of a sudden, he sweated all over.
'Jayna Cliff... Why is she here? I mean... She's Ivan's wife! What the hell?' Owen thought in shock. He carefully looked at Jayna and was sure of it. A few days ago, after Dawson asked him about Jane, he plucked up his courage and secretly went to Pasoland City and Southpool City for investigation. Then he found out about Iwan and Jayna's wedding in a photo. It was a photo that disappeared mysteriously just after he saw it! But even so, he deeply remembered Gao Weiwei's appearance in his heart.
And now Jayna Cliff was right there in front of him! Owen was so shocked that he felt a bit out of breath. He knew that Gao Weiwei and Leng Yijun had a very good relationship, they were like sisters. He also had a feeling in his heart that Gao Weiwei would meet his granddaughter Yin Chaoge sooner or later. That was why he had decided to promote Jane as the general manager of NAH Technology, regardless of everyone's disagreement. This was exactly why he made that decision for. However, Owen didn't expect that Jayna would come so soon.
"Huh? Grandpa, grandpa? What's wrong with you? Are you alright?" Hannah, who was wearing glasses and a long white dress and stood next to Owen, asked worriedly. She had noticed the sweat on Owen's face.
"Oh, I'm fine. Let's go inside, the party is about to start. Hannah, you have just come back, I want you to try and get to know more people here, especially the ones who are about the same age as you. You need more friends. Listen to me on this, okay?" Owen said to Hannah earnestly.
Yin Chaoge smiled and nodded and said, "Got it, grandpa! You've said it many times!"
However, Owen looked extremely serious and said to Hannah anxiously, "Listen to me! I know that you don't like hanging out with women at your age, but things are always complicated and you need friends. I am serious, Hannah."
"Grandpa..." Hannah was a bit startled with she saw the serious look on Owen's face. As she remembered, she had seldom seen such serious expression on Owen's face, but once there was such an expression on his face, it meant that he was really angry.
Therefore, Hannah stopped smiling and nodded seriously, "I'm sorry, grandpa. I heard you."
"Okay. You should go onto the stage and greet everyone now," Owen was relieved to hear Hannah's answer and said.
Seeing that Hannah had left, Jaxton suddenly asked Owen in a low voice, "Owen, I saw you staring at the woman at the door just now and you looked weird when you saw her. Was she..."
"Stop! She wasn't! Even if she was, we have to pretend we have no idea of it! You don't know anything and I didn't say anything, remember?" before Jaxton could finish his words, Owen interrupted him and said in a low voice. Then Owen walked towards the guests off the stage. However, Owen didn't know that Bob, the head of the Waldorf family who was sitting off the stage,
had seen everything.What's more, he had managed to get what Owen was saying by reading the moving of his lips.
'She wasn't? Even if she was, they had to pretend they didn't know? That cunning old man, he looked weird just now. What did he see exactly that made him, Owen Cliff, so scared? With Max from the Military Headquarters here securing the event, he should have nothing to worry about. Maybe it was because of the two women who came here just now?' Bob thought. Then he picked up the teacup, and when everyone was not paying attention, he secretly glanced at Leng Yijun and Gao Weiwei.
However, Jane and Jayna were simply sitting in a corner. There seemed to be nothing special about them. Shangguan Bo was puzzled again. Immediately, he stopped thinking about it and continued to drink tea...
However, when Bob saw that Owen took Hannah to meet Jane and Jayna right after they finished greeting the guests one by one, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the two women. With his eyes widened, Bob's eyes were fixed on every move of Owen's.
At this moment, Leng Yijun and Gao Weiwei were surprised to see that the heroine of tonight's banquet and Yin Zheng, the head of the Yin family, actually came to their table. Then Jane grabbed Jayna's hand and the two of them stood up to greet Hannah.
However, when Jane was greeting Hannah politely, Jane found that there was more sweat on Owen's neck.. Owen smiled and nodded and Jane before he said politely, "Miss cook, I have heard Jaxton mention you. He thinks highly of you and said that you were a capable employee. I believe in his judgment about you. Thank you for agreeing to work with Hannah from now on. Miss Cook, you can come to me at any time when you need help. If there's anything Jaxton can't help you with, come to me. Do not hesitate to ask me for help. I want you to be friends with Hannah, maybe you
can become best friends. I heard that you aren't a local in Cleveque City? Well, you can take this place as your home from now on. Feel free to drop by at any time!"
Although Owen said so, he was just trying to show Jane how much he valued her. However, his words made Jane's heart skip a beat. He was being overly respectful to her, wasn't he? It wasn't just Leng Yijun who was extremely puzzled, even Yin Chaoge who was standing beside Yin Zheng was extremely puzzled. This afternoon, she had heard Jaxton praising Jane, and now, Owen seemed to appreciate Jane very much as well.
Leng Yijun didn't have time to think deeply. She didn't think it was because Owen liked her. After all, as the head of the Bass family, there were always a lot of women who wanted to throw themselves at Owen. Moreover, Owen was an old man now, Jane even doubted if he could still have sex.
At the thought of this, Jane felt relieved, although she was confused still. She hurriedly replied, "Mr. Cliff, thank you for your kind offer. I am really flattered. You can trust me, Mr. Bass. I will do my best in working for the NAH Technology, I promise."
Yin Zheng nodded with a smile, then he pretended not to know Gao Weiwei, glanced at Gao Weiwei, and asked Leng Yijun very suspiciously, "Miss Leng, who is this beautiful lady beside you?"
Jane quickly introduced, "Mr. Bass, this is my best friend in college. She has just arrived in Cleveque City. Her name is Jayna. Ever since she heard me talk about Miss Hannah, she has been wanting to meet her. So... So I brought her here. I'm sorry, I should have introduced her to you just now, Mr. Bass."
Jane was a bit nervous, because she hadn't expected that Owen, the head of the Bass family, would come talk to them instead of the big shots in Cleveque City. And she had told Jayne before that she could bring her here, but in fact, she wasn't authorized to. And now that she was caught on the act by Owen, she was extremely nervous.
"Mr... Mr. Bass, I am really sorry. I'm leaving right now, please don't punish Jane for this. I am sorry. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been here and I am leaving now..." Jayne was terrified as she figured out what was going on here.
As she spoke, she wanted to turn around and leave. However, Owen stopped her and said with a smile, "Miss Jayna, don't be nervous. You are our guest here, you don't have to leave. Besides, there aren't many rules in the Bass family, feel free here. I have just said to Miss Cook that she could feel at home here and I meant it. So, it wasn't a big deal that she brought a friends here. I just heard Miss Cook say that you have been wanting to meet Hannah? Let me introduce you two to each other. I wish you can become friends. Hannah has just arrived here, just like you. You are about the same age and are both beautiful women, you should get to know each other more. There is no harm in having more friends in a strange land anyway, right?"
As Owen was talking, he said to Hannah, "Hannah, you are the host, why don't you introduce yourself to our guest here?"
Hannah immediately understood when she heard Owen's words. She did as she was told, reached out her hand and said to Jayna, "Nice to meet you, Jayna. You can just call me Hannah. Somehow, I feel as if I have known you for a long time. Can I friend you? After the party, I can friend Jane as well and we can talk in a group chat." Hannah took out her phone and wanted to friend Jayna.
What? Both Jayna and Jane were stuuned upon hearing this. Jayna was the more surprised one. How did she become friends with Hannah, a legend in Cleveque City, so soon?
Seeing that Jayna was still in a daze, Jane pinched gently on her arm. Jayna came to herself, nodded her head, took out her phone and friended Hannah on social media. "Miss Bass, I am flattered, really. I came uninvited today, I am sorry. I..." Jayna didn't know what to say now.
Hannah said with a nonchalant smile, "It's okay, Jayna. You have just arrived here and so have I. From now on, we can get familiar with the city together. Let's hang out more often. Anyway, I don't
have anything else to do aside from doing research."
"I'd love that. Thank you, Han... Hannah..." Jayna nodded and said happily. She hadn't expected that Hannah was so easy to get along with.
At this moment, Jane, who was standing beside them, smiled and said to Jayna, "See? I told you that Hannah is very friendly. We should all hang out more often. Oh, by the way, have you found a job yet? How about working with us?"
When Hannah heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly said, "Yeah, Jayna, you should come work in NAH Technology! We are recruiting employees now!"
Jayna thought for a while before she said, "Well, I'd have to think about it first. I want to get familiar with the company first before I decide on which field I'm going to take a career in. I will tell you after I make a decision, okay?"
Hannah nodded and said to Jayna, "Okay. Jayna, you guys have fun here. I need to continue entertaining the guests here now."
Jayne nodded and watched Hannah helped Owen leave. However, when Owen turned around, Hannah, who was standing beside him, found that the back of his clothes had been wetted by sweat. And the one who also saw this scene was Shangguan Bo, who was sitting in the distance and kept staring at Yin Zheng. Bob had seen the sweat on Owen's face. When Owen turned around to leave, Bob clearly saw that he breathed a sigh of relief and there was excitement in his eyes.
“Hannah, listen to me...” when Owen was walking and speaking to Hannah, there was a sudden sound of explosion coming from outside. The gate was exploded and blasted into the yard.
Then, they saw a mysterious and strong man in a black mask standing at the gate. The man seemed to have the power of a primary God of War and he had slaughtered all the guards.
"The God of War, Mr. Max White. Come on and fight me, or I can go in and we can fight there, if you want..." the mysterious powerhouse stood at the door and sneered at Max, who was sitting in the first row. However, there were hundreds of five-starred guards outside the house, rushing towards the man, who wasn't scared at all. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Hearing this, Max, who was sitting there, stood up and let out his later-stage power of a God of War. He then said with a murderous look in his eyes, "It seems you are tired of living."
"Keep Miss Bass safe," after saying this, Max went to chase after the mysterious powerhouse who had ran away.
At this moment, all the guests at the party were on alert. Some guests who had been drinking tea with their heads lowered looked up at Hannah with their murderous eyes...
