Nada lowered her eyes and whispered, "I want to see you."
Nada took the paper and went home.
Jacod asked kindly, "Are you done?"
Nada said quietly, "No."
Jacod raised his eyebrows. "Why don't you keep asking?"
"It costs money," says Nada.
Jacod listened, his eyes showed a hint of approval, "This money is nothing, you want to ask can continue to ask."
Nada said, "No, thank you."
She sat in her seat and wrote the paper for a while. Jacod stood behind her and looked at it for a long time, but didn't understand anything.
It wasn't long before Asma had her lunch ready.
She smiled as she brought the food to the table, beckoning Jacod and another man to the table for dinner, and was willing to be a motherly figure at this time, smiling and saying to Nada: "Go and wash your hands."
Nada had no appetite, but she obeyed Asma, filled her food, and sat aside.
Mason opened a bottle of wine, poured it for Jacod and others, and looked at Nada again, the gloomy face was slightly relaxed, but the tone was still a little hard, "Drink some?"
Nada said, "No."
"You're 18 years old," Mason said. "You can't have a drink."
With that, he poured Nada a glass and pushed it in front of her.
Nada did not move. Her eyes slipped from Mason to Jacod, and she looked vaguely at everyone else.
Is it really what she thinks it is?
Just as she did not long ago expect the love of her family, she dared not bet on their kindness to her.
Are you trying to sell her? Or to harvest her internal organs? Or is it something else?
Nada had heard a lot of rumors, and it seemed that any rumor could match the situation, but it was a little more absurd and magical.
Nada dropped her eyes and ate a few mouthfuls of food. Jacod suddenly smiled at her and said, "Why don't you drink a few cups with me? If you can drink three cups, I'll give you 500 yuan?"
Asma's eyes lit up and she turned to Nada and said, "You have a few drinks with Jacod. Come on."
"I don't drink," Nada said.
Asma said: "You have never drunk, how can you not drink, everyone will drink, how can you not!"
Nada took one look at Mason, who was not a good drinker either, and poured out half a bottle.
Mason also said, "You Jacod likes you, you have a few drinks with him."
With so many eyes on her, Nada almost wanted to smile.
Just then Jacod's phone rang.
Jacod pauses and picks up the phone. Other people are middle-aged and old, and their hearing is a little degraded, so they put the phone on speaker. This time, he gets through and says, "Hello?"
From the other side came the voice of a very young boy. "Hey! Are you Nada's dad? I'm her classmate! I've come to see her, and now in your town, can you ask Nada to come and pick us up?"
Jacod looked at Nada.
Nada looked at him with a slightly surprised expression on her face. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Uncle Ni, can I have the phone? I have a word with my classmate."
Jacod gives her the phone, and Nada takes it and says, "David? Why are you here?"
'It's me! I also called Yoyo and they, not only you called me to ask questions, Yoyo also called me to ask questions, why don't we do the questions together?" David's voice was full of life and energy.
"Where are you now?" Nada asked.
David said, "I'm already on your side, near the big rock that says Cloud Town."
Nada said, "Wait for me. I'll pick you up."
Finished, hung up the phone, looked at them Asma, calm tone as if to explain a fact, said: "my classmates came over, I went to pick them up, by the way to take them to go around, do not come back for dinner."
After saying that, he picked up the bag without looking back, turned and walked out, leaving Asma and others behind.
Asma and Mason looked at each other and finally asked cautiously, "That, Jacod, this kid..."
Jacod laughed and said meaningfully, "You are a very clever boy."
"Let's make it fifty thousand a year."
He stopped eating and gave his partner a look, and the partner took out a formal employment contract.
Tyler put down the bowl, squeezed Mason side to see, although he can not read the thick words, but it is very clear to write the respective responsibilities of Party A and Party B, he looked at, Party A also needs to provide Party B a variety of interests and expertise training, what cooking, dancing, piano, flower arrangement and other miscellaneous, couldn't help but froze, "what is this?"
Jacod replies, "Nanny, high-end nanny."
With a twinkle in his eye, he smiled slightly at Tyler. "We train people who are not smart."
Tyler looked at his fierce face, shook, and turned his head.
Jacod said to Asma, "Just ask her to sign her name here. I'll fill in the date when she comes of age."
Asma complained: "Can't you just pay for 20 years? My son is equivalent to selling to you, and there is also a future famous college student in the family."
Jacod gave her a look. "Pay every year, or you don't talk about it."
Asma heard this and stopped talking.
It didn't cost much to raise Nada all those years, and now $50,000 a year is a good amount.
*
The sun was shining when Nada stepped out of the house, but she could not feel any warmth as it fell on her.
She walked to the boundary monument near, sure enough to see David, not only David, he also brought two tall men in black, look at the style of dress, should be bodyguards.
But those who don't have the "Yoyo" in his mouth are, presumably, made-up.
When Nada saw him and the two bodyguards, her beating heart seemed to slowly begin to calm down.
When David saw her, he immediately came forward and asked nervously, "Are you okay?"
Nada looked at him and nodded gently.
At that point, she was terrified of her own speculation, and the only person she could think of to turn to was David.
If it's him, he should be able to help her.
Because he is a righteous man.
When the words came to Nada's mind, the tense spirit suddenly relaxed.
There was also an unexpected little desire to laugh, but only a little, Nada's heart soon sank again.
She didn't know how to explain this dilemma to David.
Nada exhaled and said to David, "Go to the park over there."
David followed her to the park.
As David walked, he looked at his surroundings and said, "Is this your home?"
He had never been back with Nada in his previous life and had no idea that her home would be in such a quaint town.
Nada answered, turned to look at him, her lips moved a little, and said, "Thank you for coming."
With a serious face, David asked, "Did something happen to you?"
If it wasn't for the weekend, when Jack came to teach him, he told him about it, he called himself, and he thought that Nada had found out that he was a poor student and tried to test him.
After being analyzed by Jack, David suddenly felt the immaturity of his thought.
Because Nada had always been strong and capable in his mind, he could not imagine a problem that Nada could not solve.
But he soon realized that Nada was only eighteen years old!
Isn't it normal to have problems and difficulties at such a young age?
Just like the Ivy thing, Nada was alone, if it wasn't for him, if he hadn't come... Did she really drop out?
It turns out that Nada, who is strong and cold, can also be so weak.
David felt a little ashamed.
In fact, he does not have to deliberately show in front of Nada to force her head, because now Nada is a child, he only needs to protect her enough.
When David thought of this, his nose was sore and his eyes were a little red. He reached out and held Nada's hand and said seriously, "Just tell me, don't hide it from me any more. I can help you whether you have killed someone or anything else!"
Nada: "..."
He felt a little amused, "You think I killed someone?"
David said: "If it is, I will ask the best lawyers to help you fight the lawsuit, you are so good, even if you kill, it must be self-defense!"
Nada: "..."
The smile at the corner of her lips was frozen, and gradually ceased to laugh.
Why would her family be like this when an outsider could give her such devotion and unreserved trust?
Now, of course, she has no proof, but there are signs of what she stands to lose with the arrival of Jacod.
Maybe she won't even go back to school.
David looked her in the face and said, "I'm just saying, even if it's serious enough to kill someone, I will help you, so don't hide it from me."
Nada looked deeply at him and suddenly asked, "Are you really helping me just because you like helping others?"
David hesitated, but Nada looked at him. From his Angle, she could see David's dark, dense eyelashes. Looking at David up close, Nada realized that he was indeed immaculately handsome.
"... Isn't it?" 'Nada whispered.
David looked up at her with a twinkle in his eye and said hesitantly, "You want me to tell you the truth?"
Nada: "Yeah."
David said, "I'm helping you because my dad wants you to be his daughter."
Nada: "..."
David blushed a little and began to talk nonsense, "He has your file in his hand, I read the file, I came to see you."
David confessed again, "I told you a lie."
Nada: "... What lies?"
David said, "In fact, I am seventeen years old and my birthday is also January New Year's Day, which means I am two years younger than you."
Nada: "..."
David said, "I lied because I wanted to take advantage of you."
"I also want you to like me, so that when we become a family, we won't be so separated."
David's lies get better and better as he tells them.
A little admire their ability to respond to the situation, worthy of his!
