Promising Son-in-Law

Chapter 6 Barr Martin

The old Mr. Lee looked at Eric and said, "open the gift."

He wanted to know who sent it?

Eric nodded and opened the brocade box in his hand. The gift was displayed in front of everyone.

People were stunned.

It was a pearl which size was as big as a bowl.

Night-luminescent pearl!

The natural night pearl was very valuable, let alone such a big one!

The old Mr. Lee usually loved jades and other things. He also had a research on the night pearl. He just

looked at it and was stunned.

This was definitely a natural night pearl, with an estimated value of ten million dollars to 100 million.

"Turn off the lights and close the doors and windows." The old Mr. Lee said excitedly.

Everyone immediately took actions to turn off all the lights and draw the curtains.

When the room was dark, the whole living room lit up in an instant.

The soft light of the night pearl was on every face. They had an expression of surprise and envy.

"Grandfather, the pearl is so bright. It must be valuable." Fox praised, "it must be someone who

specially gave it to our family as a congratulatory gift."

The old Mr. Lee smiled happily. This valuable family gift was enough to show his status.

Of course, it also showed that Doris's parents can't afford this gift. They can’t buy a gift that was

100000 dollars, let alone the gift which was more than ten million dollars!

Who sent it?

At this time, housekeeper Eric found that there was a card under the night pearl. He immediately took it

out and asked people to turn on the light and draw the curtain.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't come to the annual family meeting to celebrate your birthday because of

the busy business recently. I'll give you a small gift to express my feelings. I'll visit the old Mr. Lee and

your daughter-in-law in person next time."

Who was this one?

Who was the daughter-in-law?

At this time, a young man in his twenties came to the door.

"It turned out to be the annual meeting of Lee family. I wish Lee family would be more and more

prosperous in the future."

When people saw him, they seemed to understand.

The old Mr. Lee also understood, and then said with a smile, "Mr. Martin! Please sit down."

Mr. Martin was a very outstanding child of Marin family in Tianbei noble family. The old Mr. Martin liked

him very much. He was likely to be in charge of Marin family in the future.

Mr. Martin laughed and came over.

Fox came to Mr. Martin quickly and said with a smile, "We are happy to see you come. You should not

send this valuable gift."

"Well?" Mr. Martin was puzzled for a moment. He saw the brocade box on the table and was shocked

immediately.

Was this the night pearl?

No wonder he saw that lights of the living room was turned off just now. He thought there was no one in

their house!

He would have gone back if he hadn't seen the lights were on again.

He also knew something about the night pearl. It must be more than ten million dollars. Who sent it?

Fox, aware of Mr. Martin's shock, asked carefully, "isn't it sent by Mr. Martin?"

Mr. Martin became calm and laughed."I don't know. Maybe it was sent by my father. I mentioned to my

father that today was the annual meeting of Lee family before I went out today."

With that, everyone was misled. They were jealous and thought Martin family was a noble family.

The housekeeper took Mr. Martin to his seat.

Mr. Martin was the third in this generation. His name was Barr. He was liked by the old Mr. Martin.

When Barr came in, he always peeped at Doris. Now he was even sitting next to Doris.

Doris frowned and did not intend to pay attention to Barr.

After seeing this, the old Mr. Lee quietly turned his eyes. At the beginning, Marin family proposed a

marriage with Lee family. Marin family wanted Doris to marry into their family and the old Mr. Lee was

happy at that time!

Marin family was a big family. If they get married, Lee family can benefit a lot.

But after he informed Doris, Doris married a poor country boy quickly, which almost made him angry to

death.

Such a good opportunity was cut off by Doris's family, so he didn't want to see them any more.

"Mr. Martin is so young and talented that there must be many girls pursuing you?"

Barr laughed, "Don’t flatter me. It's just because of my family. "

"Mr. Martin is modest." The old Mr. Lee said with a smile, "Mr. Martin has a loved one?"

Barr looked at Doris, "to tell you the truth, I really love person and have been waiting for her."

The old Mr. Lee looked at Doris quietly and asked curiously, "Oh? Who has such a good fortune? "

Barr's eyes turned and then he said with a smile: "when we are together, I will tell you!"

The old Mr. Lee knew it well, but he said, "that makes me curious."

"Ha ha..." Barr laughed and did not answer.

Doris knew Barr was looking at her. She was some uncomfortable, but can not leave.

The old Mr. Lee regretted: "The relationship between the two families is so good. In addition, my Lee

family has nine daughters of suitable age. If Mr. Martin like one, you can marry her. It's a pity..."

"The old Mr. Lee, there is no absolute." Barr looked at Doris again.

However, Doris felt cold after hearing the words of the old Mr. Lee. There were ten girls in her

generation, but he said that there were nine. Obviously, he did not regard her as a member of Lee

family.

In the banquet, Barr looked at Doris from time to time, but Doris pretended not to know, and there was

no communication between them during the whole process.

After the end, Doris went out with her head down and came to her Changan car.

Suddenly, a blue Ferrari stopped in front of her. Barr got off the car and went to Doris. "Doris, at least

we are classmates. Why did you ignore me just now?"

Doris looked stiff, and said lightly "we are not familiar."

They were in the same college. Barr had been chasing Doris in college, but Doris didn't have the mood

to fall in love, so she refused.

Later, the old Mr. Lee told her about the marriage, and she immediately guessed that it was Barr's

meaning, so she and Colin pretended to marry.

"How can you say it? We are classmates in college. Besides, we almost became husband and wife. "

Barr said casually.

Doris, with a heavy face, said faintly, "I have been married for two years. Please pay attention to your

words."

"It doesn't matter." Barr did not care, "Everyone know what kind of person your useless husband is. I

don't think you like him, do you? "

Doris frowned slightly. She didn’t like Colin but not hate.

Barr continued: "Doris, divorce him and marry me! I can give you what you want, and you will be the

happiest woman in the world.”

Doris didn't speak. She can't divorce Colin now!

Just then, a steady male voice came behind them, "she won't divorce me!"

Colin was coming!

Doris was surprised, "how did you come?"

Barr sneered, "are you Colin? Hum! Yor are a bumpkin wearing cheap clothes. Can you give Doris rich

clothes and food? Can you make her buy whatever she wants? You are a waste! You can't give Doris

happiness! "

Colin looked at Doris gently at first and said, "it's too late. I am worried about you."

Doris was moved a little and went to Colin.

Barr felt embarrassed now and wanted to reach out to pull Doris. Colin hit his hand quickly and said in

a cold voice, "my wife's hand is not something you can touch!"

"What's more, Doris is not what you can call!"

Barr was stunned, and Doris was also shocked.

It was the first time for Doris to see Colin like a big man. The heart thumped.

Barr, who had collected himself, glared at Colin, "what qualifications do you have? You are just a

waste! "

Colin and Doris ignored Barr. Doris said, "let's go home."
