Chapter 55 The So-called Friends
However, there was no love plan in her plan for so many years. Emily thought that she could control herself, but she was still
somewhat restless in the face of Brian.
What's more, after hearing what Brian said, she didn't want to face him anymore. She was afraid that she couldn't resist the
temptation of Brian. She couldn't do that. But at this moment, Emily didn't know that when the love started, even an extremely
powerful contradict was just a joke.
Looking at Emily jumping out in a hurry, Charles thought, 'This should be the first time that my mommy runs so fast when she
doesn't smell the food. I have to admire my daddy once again.'
"You don't have to admire me so much. I'm just telling the truth!"
Charles almost choked himself with his saliva. He was absolutely telling the truth, honestly, without any false ingredients. But this
truth would definitely make people feel anxious. Looking at his mother's reaction, he showed a charming smile like a suck up.
"Mr. Brian, I don't think I have offended you, do I?" The consequence of irritating Brian was almost the same as provoking Emily.
Then Charles saw the cunning smile on Brian's face. "I remember who offered to help me last night?" Brian asked.
His eyes swept across Charles, which made him shiver. "Daddy!" a soft voice came through, which was supposed to be very
useful, but was forcefully ignored by Brian. He said, "Well, that's good. From now on, daddy's happiness depends on you,
Charles."
When Charles saw that, he felt like weeping but had no tears. He could do nothing but look up at the sky and sigh. Brian smiled.
Emily's reaction was within his expectation. But he could not continue to hide his feelings anymore. The reaction of Zoey
yesterday made him feel very nervous. In fact, Emily was a charming woman, so he would rather leave something of him on
Emily's identity as early as possible, not to mention that he had a son now. It is a good chance for Brian to win this game.
After walking out of the room, for half a day, Emily finally calmed down and laughed. When did she lose control of her emotions?
It was really because of the great influence of Brian. She calmed down, looked at her clothes and washed them.
When Emily finished the cleaning up, she found that Charles was enjoying the delicious food. These days, Brian would cook by
himself as long as he had time. Emily had to admit that Brian did a good job. After all, he could even satisfy Charles's picky
stomach. Therefore, sometimes Emily wondered why Brian was so good at cooking. But she didn't bother to dig deeper into it
since she could enjoy the delicious food.
It seemed that she drank too much yesterday and got a little dizzy now. Looking at Emily's reaction, Brian asked, "Are your head
ache?"
"A little." When Emily was massaging her temple, she was already caught by Brian. He put his warm fingers on his temple, which
was not as slender as hers but more comfortable. Without replying to him, she enjoyed his massage and he said, "You got a
headache because you drank so much wine yesterday. It's normal." Brian said indifferently.
"Did I drink too much?" But that didn't make any difference to Emily. She said, "It seems that Zoey had spent lost a lot of money
again."
"Zoey?" Brian stopped.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Emily seemed to have remembered something. She turned around, looked at Brian and said, "You
might have seen each other yesterday."
"If he was the man who was full of love for you, I would have met him." While Brian moved his fingers again, he didn't put Emily
in the right position but looked at each other face to face. Looking at Brian, who was near to her, she said with a smile, "Why do I
think you are kind of jealous?"
"You heard me right. I am jealous." As they made eye contact, Brian fixed his eyes on her seriously and didn't stop his fingers'
movements. The movement of his fingers made Emily feel that he really loved her.
"You are right. Although Zoey has a crush on me, we are not in a relationship of a man and a woman. Many years ago, we had
already known each other clearly. At that time, I couldn't repay his love. If it was current Emily, I wouldn't make that choice."
When Brian heard these words, his fingers' strength was suddenly stronger. Emily didn't say anything but smiled with relief. "But
the past is the past. Time changes, and there are many things that can't be changed. So we chose to be friends."
"He is more like a guardian." The words that it was his responsibility to protect Emily was deeply imprinted on Brian's mind. He
knew that the person named Zoey was willing to give his life to protect Emily.
Emily slightly took down Brian's hand and said, "Since there is no way to repay this love, at least I can give him the right to
protect. This is what he said at that time. He said that I was selfish or ruthless. And I couldn't refuse it. What choice will you make
if it was you?"
But Brian held her arm and said, "You didn't do anything wrong."
"But I still owe him." Emily was unable to make up for the love that she owed to him.
"I'm afraid that he is the person who mostly doesn't want to see you think in this way,"
Taking a pause for a moment, Emily said, "I didn't expect you to know him so well."
"Because I have the same thought with him. But the difference is that I must get you and he gave in." His words were
straightforward and unrestrained, but shocked in Emily's heart. She said, "Whatever you want." Anyway, she had no way to stop
him, let alone she could not stop him.
"Don't you think it's appropriate to display your affection in front of a seven-year-old kid? Is it appropriate for you to ignore me,
the most handsome man in the world? " A speechless feeling emerged in Charles's heart as he saw they ignore him again. Was
it because that his charm was decreased? He could not help but touch his face as if something came to his mind. He asked,
"Mommy, who is Zoey?"
"An uncle you will like. I'll let you meet him some other day."
Charles nodded in reply. Since Brian was leaving for the World International, Emily would like to go with him. Anyway, Brian
didn't mind driving Charles to the school.
As soon as Brian walked out of the door, he seemed to remember something. "Brother? Who is Ron?"
Emily froze and it became very cold even if the temperature was high in July. Everything froze and her eyes were full of
coldness. Then she asked coldly, "Where did you hear that?" Every single word was stressful.
"You were drunk and talked about him in your sleep the whole night. He must be very important to you." Brian told the truth.
Emily was surprised by her drunk words. If it were before, she would have refused to talk to them. But today she didn't. She said,
"Hmm, an important person." She had two brothers. One gave her the belief to live on, and the other gave her the rebirth.
"Really? Hope one day I can become the one in your heart." Brian didn't ask more about Ron and her brother.
Emily didn't say anything more, but it was obvious that the cold momentum between them had completely disappeared. She just
smiled slightly.
The matters concerning the Qin family had been sorted out in two days. Under the high reputation of the World International, the
speed and operation ability of the company made many companies far behind. By the time they reacted, the business of the Qin
family had come to an end. They couldn't understand the actions of the World International, and there were few effects of
emerging the Qin family on expanding the territory of the World International. The Qin family seemed to have no business worth
mentioning. There might be some other meaning for the CEO of the World International to launch an attack. After all, the behind
CEO of World International had always been unusual. Therefore, no one knew that the CEO of World International did this only
because of Emily and Charles.
Before letting Charles go, Emily said many things to him and scolded him. Then she sat casually in the office of Brian, watching
him deal with the files. A serious man was really attractive, especially with a handsome face. This was the first time that Emily
had seen Brian work in the office. The layout of Brian's office was simple, not like the feeling that he gave to the outsiders. As the
scale of the World International was obviously not small, Brian needed to deal with many documents. Vincent had handled a
large part of the documents for him, but he couldn't deal with them all. In the past, Vincent usually sent the documents to others.
Now, he finally caught sight of Brian, and sent him all the documents here. Looking at the mountain of documents in front of
Brian, it seemed that Vincent was very annoyed and oppressed. With a glance at Brian who was putting back a file that was
finished, Emily asked, "Why do you want to hide your identity?"
"This way, there will be a good show, won't it?"
Hearing that, Emily could not help but curl her mouth. She thought that Brian taste was really in line with that of her. 'But that's
the only reason, how could that be?'.
Taking up another file, Brian met with Emily's eyes which were filled with eagerness, and said, "I wonder to what extent they can
do to me!"
"I don't know what their reaction will be when they know who you really are. It must be interesting." The person that they had
personally expelled from the Yun family was the CEO of the World International, which was well-known around the world. Was
there anything else that could make the Yun family more shocked?
The ringtone interrupted Emily's imagination. Brian picked up the phone with a simple "OK" and hung up.
"Who?" Emily asked.
"Ray."
"What did he call for?" Brian had nothing to do with Yun family.
"He want to discuss about the shares in my hands."
"Your twenty percent shares?" That was Brian's mother's and his own shares.
"Yes."
"What do they mean?" Said Emily, squinting slightly.
"They want to take back twenty percent." On the other hand, Brian was not surprised at the way the Yun family dealt with things.
"How to take it back? Do they use money to buy it?" In their opinion, what Brian lacked most was money. After all, all the bank
cards, houses, and anything related to the Yun group were frozen at the moment of the statement. It was heartbroken to think
that they even did that. No wonder Brian didn't love his so-called father.
