Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 629
Simon took out a cigarette box from his pocket picked a cigarette up, and lit it. However, he only took one sip. The white smoke dispersed with the river wind, and he leaned against the bridge like a stone statue until the ashes of the cigarette accumulated into a long section.
He was a little out of the ordinary today...
From the time when Emily got in the car, she had vaguely felt that he was strange.
She was still in a state of shock when she pushed open the car door. Her two feet stepped on the ground, allowing her to feel as if she was still alive. She slowly moved to his side. "Hey, hey..."
Emily stuck her head forward and asked, "Simon, are you okay?"
Simon tightly closed his thin lips and didn't intend to say anything.
Today, Director Lee called him again, and grandma's condition was even worse. If the operation was not done as soon as possible within a week, it would really be too late. But grandma was so stubborn that she refused to receive the operation, and even threatened to be discharged from the hospital.
Before he was taken back to the Chin family, he had always been brought up by his grandmother personally.
For him, the most important family in the world might be his grandma...
Simon clutched his fists. When he was about to smash onto the bridge, someone suddenly lightly grabbed his arm. His eyebrows involuntarily twitched twice. It was clearly a tender hand, but it caused his heart to quickly calm down.
"Ahem!" Emily cleared her throat in embarrassment and deliberately said, "Don't scare me. If you jump down, 111 be the witness!"
Simon didn't say anything and only lowered his head to stare at her hand.
Realizing her action, Emily quickly withdrew her hand uneasily, but Simon caught her hand all of a sudden.
The river breeze blew, and she was held tightly by him. Her face was slowly burning. What saved her was a rapid ringtone on her mobile phone. Emily took the opportunity to pull back her hand and took out the phone. After picking it up, the temperature on her face suddenly dropped. "Hello, auntie? What's wrong with you? Don't cry..."
The black Cayenne was parked in front of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. Emily jumped down in a panic almost before she completely stopped.
She rushed into the police station all the way and found her aunt, who was crying out of breath.
"Auntie!"
When her aunt saw her, her tears flowed even more fiercely. "Emily, your uncle was caught. They said that he would be sentenced. What should we do?"
Emily's face was full of shock. On the phone, she only heard that her uncle- in- law was taken away by the police of the Public Security Bureau in the afternoon and was handed over to the Provincial Public Security Bureau of Ice city to take over. She did not expect that it would be so serious that she asked in disbelief, "Sentence? How can this happen?"
"I don't know either. All of a sudden, he was caught, saying that he made a fake account, and was reported by someone in the company!" Auntie cried, "He must have been wronged, slandered! He has been the accountant in that small chemical company for more than 20 years, and has always been working hard with basic salary. He is an honest man. How could he make a fake account?"
"I also believe that he is not that kind of person!" Emily was also very flustered.
"The police said that his circumstances are serious. He maybe be sentenced to imprisonment of more than five years and less than ten years, as well as a fine of hundreds of thousands of yuan. The fine is not a big deal, and I will pay it back for him even by lending money to usury. But if he is really imprisoned, I am afraid that he can't stand the injustice and can't take it..."
"Auntie, don't worry, we will have evidence to prove that he is innocent!"
However, her aunt shook her head with a desperate expression and said, "It's useless. I was afraid that you and Selena would be worried. I didn't dare to tell you this afternoon. My uncle in the city has already inquired about it. It's said that he offended someone. The other party is determined not to let him go!"
"Offended someone?" Emily was stunned.
Her aunt nodded and wiped her red and swollen eyes. "Yes, it seems that he has offended a rich man, Hsu' daughter! Ifs really an accident. Ordinary people like us, especially honest people like your uncle, can't have the opportunity to tie up the daughter of a rich family, not to mention offending her!"
Emily froze there as if she had suffered a heavy blow.
Ifs not her uncle who has offended her. It's her...
She regretted her impulsiveness. If she had known that there would be such a consequence, she would break her teeth and swallow all the grievances. Her uncle-in-law not encountered an accident, instead, he was implicated by her!
After being at the police station for more than three hours without any results, Emily helped her aunt out of the it.
It was dark outside. She wanted to take her aunt back to her own room, but she was rejected. "I have to go back to my uncle and discuss how to reduce your uncle's sentence. Emily, don't tell Selena first. She has always been mentally ill. If something happens again..."
She choked with sobs and could not go on. If something happened to the pillar of the family, the whole family would almost be overwhelmed.
After stopping the taxi and seeing off her aunt who was in a trance, Emily stood in the night with a blank expression.
After her parents passed away, she was taken to live in Jones's family. Although there was already one daughter in the family, the Jones had never treated her differently. They treated her as if they were their own children. They even loved her more than their own daughter, Selena, and raised her up and send her to the college...
It's all because of her, but she couldn't do anything about it.
In Ice city, she was just an insignificant nobody. The only big shot she knew was probably her best friend Wendy's boyfriend, Charlie Hogg. However, because of Mr. Hogg's fiancee, the two of them had already broken up...
Emily crossed her arms, feeling a chill in her hands and feet.
"Du-"
The sudden bugle sound scared her. Emily turned around and found that the black Cayenne was still in place. Simon stood next to the car with a cigarette in his hand. His tall and straight figure had an extremely strong sense of presence.
Emily opened her mouth and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"
In the night, Simon's amorous eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked at her with a thoughtful look.
Emily thought that he waited here because of the local specialties she had landed in the car. She walked over stiffly and was about to reach out to open the door to fetch them when she suddenly heard his deep voice. "I can let your uncle be safe."
"Really?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Simon's tone was steady.
The suspicious look in Emily's eyes was lingering on his face. She was sure that he was not making fun of her on purpose, but that he really had that kind of confidence. Thinking that in private, people would call him "Mr. Chin", she was sure that he had connections and strength!
Just as ecstasy was erupting in her heart, she saw the expression in his amorous eyes, hidden from the light, deep, silent, and yet reticent. Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"Simon, what should I pay for that?" She silently clenched her fingers.
Simon put out the cigarette burning in his hand and slowly spat out four words, "Marry me."
