Chapter 817
Chapter 817
The plane flew across the blue sky and white clouds. "Dear motherland, I'm finally back!"
May was so jubilant that she almost cried when she saw the familiar homeland.
According to Cindy's words, "The grass is always greener on the other side", which was bullshit in my
opinion. My country was gorgeous. I couldn't bear to part it.
Cindy had been waiting for her at the airport for a long time. She threw herself into May's arms and
gave her a big bear hug. "May, naughty, you're finally willing to come back."
"Yes, I'm back."
May wept tears of joy.
"When you called me before, you were crying and didn't tell me what happened exactly. I was so
worried."
"You said you were wronged in work and fired without compensation. Your bullshit boyfriend also
refused to marry you, which wasted your 7 years. Why didn't you ask him for compensation?"
Cindy was filled with righteous indignation about what happened to her friend.
May looked at her tearfully. Cindy was no longer the naive fat girl she used to be. After she married
Chad, she became the decent wife of a rich man.
"Cindy, you're rich now. I'm back and everything will start over again. Remember to support me."
May reached out and wanted to pinch her little round face like before. However, Cindy was wearing
heavy makeup and had plastic surgery. Her round face was shaved into a star's oval face.
Cindy hugged her, let May get into her red Bentley, and blew a kiss at her.
"Don't worry. I'm with you."
May was amused by her.
Cindy had an abnormal marriage over the years. There was only cooperation but no love in her
marriage with Chad. May heard that they even had to contract to make love. It was a wonder for Cindy
to keep naive.
"By the way, I met Christina in France." May thought of another roommate.
"Christina?"
Cindy paused for a moment. "Is she doing well now?"
Back then, Chad was so desperate to pursue Christina that everyone in their dormitory knew it.
Sometimes Cindy even felt that she was the other woman. Chad didn't love her, but he loved the most
beautiful girl in their school.
May was worried about Christina.
"She married a rich man, and he seemed to be very dictatorial. I don't know if her husband treated her
well... That day, she suddenly appeared in my restaurant. We chatted and she ate a lot of poisonous
mushrooms. Oh, I forgot to express greetings!"
Cindy listened uneasily as she drove quickly out of the airport.
At the same time, Charles was on a VIP exit on the other side of the airport.
Charles knew that Patrick and his wife were on a business trip together. Today, he came to pick them
up and asked for gossip. Unexpectedly, he had a bad luck.
Charles ran to greet them happily but saw Patrick coming out of the passage in a bad mood. So he
asked in confusion.
"Patrick, your expression... Uh, why do you look ungratified?"
Patrick glanced at him in an even worse mood.
Charles froze and immediately shut up.
Could it be that he guessed right?
Christina hinted desperately at Charles. Patrick suddenly tightened his grip on her shoulder. Getting the
warning, Christina daren't go on.
Charles drove them to their home in fear.
"What the hell did you do?"
Patrick entered the room unhappily. Even Faang felt that he was in a bad mood. Seeing that Patrick
walked into the study, Charles caught the opportunity and immediately asked Christina to make sure
that he wouldn't make him angry in the future.
"I don't know." Christina was also listless.
Charles was furious.
"Why did you accompany Patrick on a business trip for no reason and make him angry? Do you know
that my company still has a cooperation case with him in the negotiation? You! Are you trying to trick
me?"
Christina was truly innocent this time.
"At first, he was in a good mood, and then... I ate some poisonous mushrooms and was sent to the
emergency room. It didn't harm my body but had a side effect. I heard it could make people
hallucinate."
Charles glanced at her and thought she was sincere. So he asked unhappily, "What hallucinations do
you have?"
"Did you do something to Patrick?"
"I don't remember."
Christina was also very depressed. "If I remember, do I have to be stared at all the way back by him?
He has been in a bad mood, as if I have done something to him. And the employees of the company
have been scolded by him."
"Christina, you witch!"
"You're causing many innocent people trouble again!"
When Charles remembered that he still had to ask Patrick for an autograph for his later project, he was
extremely distressed and grabbed his short hair. He angrily glanced at the pile of luxury goods that had
been packed back. "You're really spendthrift. How much did you spend?"
"He didn't say anything about my spending money."
The two of them quarreled childishly downstairs. Suddenly, there was a small sound of footsteps
coming from the stairs. They tacitly shut up and looked up at the same time. Patrick walked down
expressionless.
"What are you talking about?" Patrick said coldly.
Both of them fawned on him with a fake smile.
Charles was quick-witted and knew that he couldn't mention anything that shouldn't be mentioned. He
made up an excuse, "My company is going to sign a foreign Internet celebrity chef. We are discussing
let Christina learn a few more dishes."
Christina nodded immediately and echoed, "Yes, yes. Learn to cook."
"Patrick, I'll study hard. And I'll bring you lunch in the future."
Patrick glanced at her and said unhappily, "Internet celebrity chef?"
"His name is Henry. In recent years, he has been very famous in Europe. I heard that he is very good
at both Chinese and western food. The man is good-looking and has excellent cooking skills. The
European girls are very happy to pursue him..."
Charles didn't know what he had said made Patrick angry. Patrick's expression changed and he strode
away angrily.
Charles also glared at her and left.
Leaving Christina standing there, she felt innocent and thought about it seriously. Did she seduce
Patrick after eating poisonous mushrooms that day, but he didn't succeed?
This guy was really hard to get along with.
"Junior Mrs. Hopkins, the old master took the two young masters to the Langwell family for two days."
Faang came over to tell her and casually said, "The Internet celebrity chef named Henry abroad made
simple and delicious nutritious dishes. If he was free, you could let Mr. Shepherd introduce him and
learn simple dishes."
As soon as Mr. Hopkins was in a bad mood, the whole people of the Hopkins family was frightened.
Perhaps Christina should learn more dishes to coax him so that everyone would have a easy life in the
future.
"Faang, you like Internet celebrities too?"
Faang blushed and took out her cell phone to show her a short video. "It's this gourmet. The young
man is very lively. We chefs all have a video of him. I'm also curious."
Christina glanced at the screen of her phone and saw that the foreign man was wearing a chef's
uniform and a tall white hat. He had a bright smile and was very lively and handsome.
When she was a child, she got used to seeing a handsome boy like Derek and felt other boys were
inferior. Now that she was facing Patrick every day, Christina had already got used to handsome man.
"Nothing special. Foreigners all have blue eyes and a high nose. Is he really good at cooking? He looks
more like a beefcake when he's so muscular. Does he really know how to cook?"
Christina wasn't good at cooking and always denied others' cooking skills.
Faang laughed. "Of course, he's not as good looking as our young master Hopkins, but this foreigner
has a very interesting Chinese pronunciation. I heard that he has a chinese girlfriend who has been
dating for seven years, and he is very loyal."
The maids in the Hopkins family may have been frightened by Patrick. They thought that their young
master was pretty, but they only dared to look at him from far away.
Unexpectedly, Christina suddenly said, "He has been dating his girlfriend for seven years but still not
married. Such a scumbag."
"Maybe it's not popular for foreigners to get married."
Faang, as a fan of this handsome Henry, watched so many videos of him and felt that he was not a
scumbag.
Christina didn't continue discussing with Faang anymore. She received a call from May.
May said she was back and cared about Christina's health.
"Christina, something happened in my restaurant that day. Our chef used poisonous mushrooms. I saw
you eat two plates that day. Are you feeling well? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Christina held the phone and thought about something. She was awkward and didn't know how to say.
After hesitating for a minute, she suddenly said, "I'm sorry!"
Christina knew that Patrick wouldn't let that restaurant go.
