Zhang An's attitude was so obvious, Evelyn Steele would be a fool if she didn't see it.
She had no interest in continuing to argue with Zhang An. According to the description in the novel, this kind of thing would definitely not be an isolated case.
Everyone in the Xi family, even the servants, liked Lila Carter and spontaneously protected her.
Evelyn Steele in the novel finally fell into despair, perhaps because she was forced into this inexplicable form of being deserted by her friends and relatives.
What if Lila Carter deliberately didn't read the text messages or answer the phone? According to Zhang An's logic, it would be their turn to go to the school to look for her.
Evelyn Steele calmly asked Matthew Steele: "Are you going to come with me now, or wait for Lila Carter?"
Zhang An stood aside holding his cell phone, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
What's the point of Evelyn Steele making a fuss? Matthew Steele protects Lila Carter just as much as anyone else. He used to wait for Lila Carter until very late. He will definitely persuade Evelyn Steele to wait a little.
Matthew Steele scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "Of course I'm going with you now."
Why should he wait for Lila Carter? Lila Carter is not his biological sister.
The smug smile on Zhang An's face froze for a moment, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.
Evelyn Steele smiled and nodded, "Brother, come with me then."
"No, Evelyn Steele, it's my duty to take you and the young master to and from school. How can I explain this to my teacher?" Zhang An finally panicked.
However, Evelyn Steele didn't even look at him, and just walked away with Matthew Steele.
Zhang An pretended to chase after her for a few steps, "Evelyn Steele, don't be angry. It's hard to get a taxi now!"
It is still the rush hour after get off work, and the school gate is always the most congested, so basically no taxi drivers are willing to come in.
Even though Evelyn Steele was making a fuss, she had to choose him in the end as he was the best choice. Otherwise, if she had to take a taxi by herself, who knows how long it would take!
Matthew Steele was also worried about this. Even if a taxi was needed, it shouldn't be Evelyn Steele who took the taxi! She was still sick!
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom on the roadside suddenly opened its door, and the driver in a suit and tie got out of the car, bowed to Evelyn Steele, and said with a friendly smile: "Evelyn Steele, I'll take you home."
Evelyn Steele nodded and said, "Uncle Gu, thank you for your help." She got into the car naturally.
Matthew Steele saw the polite driver and whispered, "Uncle Gu," then quickly walked up and slipped into the car.
Gu Nianfeng closed the car door with a smile, stood for a moment, and suddenly turned to look at Zhang An. On his slightly wrinkled face, his eyes were like unsheathed swords, sharp and icy, which scared Zhang An so much that he took several steps back.
He was the driver and bodyguard hired by the Yan family specifically for Evelyn Steele. For more than ten years, he was only required to serve Evelyn Steele.
He had been on standby since Evelyn Steele fell ill and was hospitalized.
Evelyn Steele was finally discharged from the hospital, and he was finally put into use. However, considering Richard Steele's feelings and self-esteem, he still followed the Xi family's arrangements in everything. He followed Evelyn Steele silently, waiting to be assigned at any time.
I originally thought that I was of no use, but I didn't expect that the Xi family's driver would dare to make things difficult for Evelyn Steele.
Do you really think all the Yan family members are dead?
"From now on, I will be the one to pick up and drop off Evelyn Steele. It has nothing to do with you." Gu Nianfeng said coldly, "Since you are so incompetent that you can't even do something like sending Evelyn Steele to and from school, I suggest you resign. Of course, I will also suggest to the Xi family that you be fired directly."
Just because the Yan family doesn't talk about certain things doesn't mean they don't have the ability to do so.
If the Yan family is really angered, I am afraid that no family in the whole of Manhattan can withstand the Yan family's wrath.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom drove away quickly.
Zhang An stood there with an extremely ugly expression on his face!
It was just such a small matter, but the Yan family actually made a big deal out of it and called for violence. It turned out that the sickly guy was a jinx and brought bad luck!
No, he couldn't be fired by the Xi family. The salary was so high and the work was so easy, only a fool would be willing to give up this job.
He remembered what Evelyn Steele had said. Anyway, Richard Steele was going to adopt Lila Carter, so this was bound to happen. Evelyn Steele was a cancer patient and would die sooner or later. What was there for him to be afraid of?
The right thing to do right now is to curry favor with Lila Carter.
——
After the performance, Lila Carter once again received everyone's amazed gazes and endless praise.
She curled up the corners of her lips slightly, smiled, put away the violin, saw the phone in the violin case, and exclaimed, "It's so late! My brother has called me several times. No, I have to go back quickly."
She was in a panic and closed the piano case too hard, almost pinching her fingers.
Those were the hands of an artist, hands that could produce exquisite music. Seeing them, everyone's hearts tightened and they were shocked.
Jason Bennett pulled Lila Carter up, narrowed his fox eyes, and gently comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll go with you to explain."
Lila Carter finally felt relieved.
The two walked to the school gate. The Xi family's car was parked at the gate, but there was no sign of other people.
Lila Carter's heart sank, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
She deliberately pretended not to see the notification text message sent by Matthew Steele today, and dragged it out until now just to give Evelyn Steele a warning.
Evelyn Steele could either endure it and wait for her here obediently, or simply order the driver to drive away and leave her alone at the school.
Based on Evelyn Steele's strong performance after her return, she felt that the latter was more likely.
In this way, she could naturally play the victim and at the same time confirm the fact that Evelyn Steele was targeting her and was arrogant and domineering.
But now the car is waiting here...
Lila Carter couldn't help but pray in her heart, praying that Evelyn Steele had a brain seizure today and was patient enough to wait for them in the car.
However, as soon as the driver Zhang An got off, he extinguished her fantasy: "Evelyn Steele and the young master have already gone home."
"Gone?" Jason Bennett frowned.
Zhang An didn't notice that he was in a bad mood, but he was anxious to please Lila Carter, so he smiled and opened the door very attentively: "From now on, I will be responsible for picking up and dropping off Miss Carter."
He even expressed his loyalty in a warm tone, "Make sure Miss Carter is not late for school."
He tried to please her deliberately, but Lila Carter's expression was not very good. She slowly pinched her fingers into the flesh and glanced at Jason Bennett quickly.
"How did Evelyn and the others get back?" Jason Bennett suddenly asked. Although his fox eyes were smiling, there was a thin layer of ice in his eyes.
Lila Carter's heart tightened. How could she get home? She could only take a taxi! The Xi family only had two drivers, and the other one was with Richard Steele!
She really didn't expect that Evelyn Steele would just leave the car and leave like that!
Evelyn Steele of the Xi family gave in to her adopted daughter to such an extent, but she took a taxi home... If outsiders knew about this, her reputation would be ruined.
Is this driver an idiot? He doesn't understand this kind of thing?
