Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen) -
Chapter 1107
In front of Fade, the two men pulled a long face. However, the woman was different. She strutted up to him with a smile and waved in greeting.
Fade looked at the three of them. His eyes flickered over them briefly before returning to Momo, looking confused.
Momo quickly whispered introductions into Fade's ear, "The man with long hair is my cousin, Harper Soo. He's Aunt by la's son."
At the mention of Lyla, Fade recalled back to the time when she had visited Momo in Bay City. He had pretended to be Memo's boyfriend that time.
After that, Momo proceeded to introduce him to the man with a crew cut, "Abell Liu's the one with the poker face. He is a martial artist. He's a member of an organisation called Stealth, I think. His father is a director as well!"
"The Stealth Team? So he's a member of the South Bay City Stealth Team then?" Hearing this, Fade couldn't help but give Abell another onceover. If Abell was really a member of the South Bay City Stealth Team, Fade thought the man's skills might not be up to his standards.
After all, the elites of the Stealth Team from South
Bay City such as Falcon had been specially selected to participate in the training exercise. Since this guy had not been selected, it probably meant that his skills were mediocre at best.
Moreover, Fade vaguely remembered that when he was there, he had confronted Master Gary who invaded the city. At that time, Gary had asked Harib Liu, the director of the Stealth Team of South Bay City, to stop him. However, the man had in turn backed off when he found out about Fade's identity as a Special Instructor.
As Abell's surname was also Liu, he assumed that Harib was his father.
Of course, that didn't mean anything to Fade. After having his fill of Abell, he then shifted his attention to the charming woman who looked to be about twenty-six years old.
"Her name is Sonia Yao; she's from the Yao family. It's another one of the more prominent families in South Bay City," Momo introduced.
At the mention of the Yao family, Fade once again recalled back to the time when Lyla went to Bay City to look for her. She had wanted Momo to get engaged with Hector Yao, the Young Master of the family. Immediately, Fade asked, "Is it the same Yao family with Hector in it?"
Momo frowned slightly and answered, "Yeah, that's right. Sonia is his cousin."
"I had originally planned to travel alone this time, but when my family heard about my plans, Harper insisted for me to bring them with me as well. I could do nothing to prevent this," whispered Momo. Fade patted her shoulder lightly, and smiled, "It's alright. We can't have them ruin our fun now, can we?"
Momo nodded, brightening up a little.
At this moment, the three others had gotten close enough to be in hearing range.
When the long-haired Harper saw how close Fade and Momo were standing together, he couldn't help but let out a warning, "Momo, as your cousin, I have to remind you that you are now engaged to Master Yao. You should really dial yourself back a little."
Hearing that, Momo boiled with rage. Glaring at him, she started to mutter unhappily, "Harper, I don't need you meddling in my affairs! Just look after yourself and stop butting into my business!" Harper's expression sank when he heard this. His mouth opened and he was ready to retort.
However, Sonia had interjected at the last second with a smile on her face and said, "Young Master Harper, it's nothing to worry about. We're living in a modern society after all, aren't we? Besides, Momo knows her limits."
After that, she turned to look at Fade with curled lips and continued, "You're Mr. Chen, right? Momo speaks about you constantly! I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long while."
Fade could not help but feel unsettled by the smiling woman. He narrowed his eyes at her, feeling uneasy. People like her were the most dangerous as he had no idea what she was thinking. Unlike Harper, her face did not reveal much about her true character.
"Likewise. I've been looking forward to meeting you as well, Miss Yao," Fade greeted casually.
Abell on the other hand, merely stood aside, making no move to greet Fade whatsoever.
"Alright then, let's get in the car," Momo spoke up after a moment of awkward silence.
With that, they go into the car one after another. When it was Harper's turn, he couldn't help but complain about the car Fade was driving. With contempt on his face, he sneered out, "An Infiniti? Really? This is such a low-grade car!"
"Momo, I heard from my mother that your friend here has been paid cheques worth tens of millions! Why is he driving a car like this to pick us up?" "Sure, I wasn't expecting an extended Lincoln, but he could have at least driven a million-dollar Mercedes-Benz GLS! An Infiniti is just..." Harper couldn't help but fake a retch.
Hearing this, Fade couldn't help but frown. He inwardly snorted at the way Harper wore his heart on his sleeves.
If he hadn't been born into the Soo family. Fade was certain that Harper would've been beaten to death a long time ago with a character like that.
Momo did not spare any of his feelings. With a fierce glare, she turned towards him and retorted, "If you don't want to sit in this car, then go get a taxi by yourself."
"Momo, why are you..." Harper's face darkened as he sputtered.
Before he could finish his sentence, Momo interrupted him with a sneer, "What about me? Look, regardless of how much Fade's car costs, at least he bought it with his own money! I can't say the same for you! It's been about three years since you've graduated from university, am I right? And you don't even have a job right now! You're just relying on Aunt Lyla's money for everything! You're literally a parasite, you know? What gives a person like you the right to comment on Fade's things like
that?"
Her words hit Harper hard, his face sunk.
After all, everything Momo said was true. He was indeed a good-for-nothing youngster. Although he was not the proper heir of the Soo family, Lyla's constant doting since his youth had led him to develop such a temperament. However, no one dared comment on it back in South Bay City.
Momo was the first to say this to his face. As such, Harper could not help the furious blush that covered his face as he forcibly defended himself, "Who said anything about me not having a job?! I came here on family business this time! I'm here to discuss some business proceedings with the Li family in Jade City!"
"Talk about business with the Li family?! As if!" Momo snorted in disbelief.
At that moment, Sonia spoke out, coming to Harper's rescue, "Momo, what Young Master Harper said is indeed true. Our family will be involved in some business projects with the Li family and the Smith Group from Micovia. I came along to Jade City to deal with them as well."
Sonia was only twenty-six years old at the moment and she had already borne great responsibilities in the Yao family. She managed three companies and was even responsible for businesses worth billions. She was a business elite, not at all comparable to someone like Harper.
After that, Momo merely huffed a little and remained quiet.
