The following morning, in the main garden of Katie's home,
Sunlight poured into the dining room through the Chinese flowery windows, and the table made of mahogany flickered with the shadows of the floral patterns on the
The table was set with tea sets and water cups, the cups steaming with the
The rich aroma of tea was so refreshing, the
Katie's family was gathered together, and there were always all kinds of rules in a big family, and one of Katie's rules was to stay at home overnight.
One of Katie's house rules was to stay over and come to the main courtyard for breakfast the next day, in the name of bringing people together, bonding, and being of one mind.
In fact, the people at the table had different thoughts.
"Why does the tea smell so good today?" Katie's little sister exclaimed.
"It's the black tea that Liam auctioned off a while ago, and had it delivered early in the morning, so it's a bargain."
Sitting in the middle seat of Katie's family, the head of Katie's family picked up a cup of tea and cheerfully opened his mouth.
The head of the family is wearing a white embroidered suit outer shirt, inch thin snow hair the whole person gives a person a feeling of majesty and temperament.
"But ah, everyone is still dipped in Yang Yang's light, this Liam is here to find his daughter-in-law, and incidentally deliver tea"
Early in the morning, Katie's family had already heard that Katie came back last night and Liam stayed at the Pearly Gates.
Some of the young gossip-loving servants speculated that it was because of the scandal between Liam and Victoria two days ago that Katie had rushed back overnight.
That's why Katie rushed back all night. Even if it's just a rumor, it can be compiled into a variety of gossip, and become the talk of the dinner party.
It's the talk of the town after dinner.
But doomed to this drama is not to see, because not only Liam, Katie two companies official website issued a clarification statement.
Even Victoria herself in the personal social account issued, to Liam himself in the power of the city.
No media dared to continue to report on this matter, and Katie's family side.
The head of Katie's family has also strictly forbidden them to continue to talk about it.
So when he saw the two of them in the restaurant, there was no surprise, nor was there any abnormality.
There was no surprise or anything out of the ordinary when they saw them in the dining room, just a greeting that wasn't very familiar.
Hearing the owner's teasing, Liam humbly and politely replied.
"Liam was taken in by grandpa in his early years and cultivated, even if it is not the relationship of granddaughter-in-law, it has long been the same as Katie's little sister is grandpa's own grandchildren, filial piety to you is due."
"Words can not say so, you have today this ability are rely on your own, and Katie's little sister can be different from you, Katie's little sister to have half of your talent ah! This Katie's family is really burnt incense," said the head of the family, and Katie's little sister was all over the place.
Katie's little sister was filled with disbelief.
"Grandpa, you're not just being a pushover, are you? Besides, how can an individual's worth and talent be judged by the accumulation of wealth?"
"Don't you think? Katie."
Victoria, who had been sitting across the table drinking tea in silence, held her teacup in her hand and looked up to see Katie.
raising her eyes only to see Katie's little sister smiling with a raised eyebrow at Katie, as if there was no problem with that.
She did not move and swept the circle around her.
She looked around the room again and saw that everyone was calm and didn't notice anything unusual.
Her eyes darkened, and she looked over at Liam, who was sitting next to Katie.
Only to see the corner of his mouth hung a smile, full of warm face sipping tea, occasionally sideways look at Katie.
See this ... For a few seconds she felt as if she had forgotten to breathe.
A pang of sadness ran through her heart, ridiculous, truly ridiculous, what was she expecting,
It was ridiculous, ridiculous, what did she expect, in his eyes where she was Katie, everyone else was destined to be a sidekick.
Their conversation was still going on, and she didn't want to hear any more about it.
"Yes, the fourth brother is right, the fourth brother is tall and handsome, the body is also a great, people love, or doctor, to save the dead and help the injured compared to the body full of copper stink of the businessman do not know too much better," Katie smiled brightly to support the scene, 'that's right', Katie said, "the fourth brother has a good reputation, and the fourth brother has a good reputation.
"That's right," siblings who hadn't seen each other for a long time chimed in, and the atmosphere was cordial, but Katie's words were too targeted.
Katie's words were a little too to the point, and Liam, beside her, raised an eyebrow at her.
She'd been ignoring him, not to mention not speaking to him, from earlier in the restaurant, and Liam didn't think it was directed at him.
What's more, Katie's little sister was 1.88 meters and he was 1.89 meters, but he was a little taller than Katie's cousin.
He's taller than Katie's cousin, and he's got the best body and looks in the world.
And he's a businessman who's full of brass, which offends most of the people in this room.
Katie's family has been in business for generations, and a few have been in politics, and the family business has flourished to this day, with the grandchildren entering the family business one after the other, and there's just one little Katie.
But Katie's little sister is the one who wants to be a doctor without borders, and the family is against it.
The family was against it, but the fourth young master was so stubborn that no one could shake him, but fortunately, his older siblings were all good enough to take over.
The old man let him go.
While everyone was talking here, the maids were already putting up breakfast one after another.
The butler suddenly interjected
"Ms. Katie, the kitchen asked for your medicinal soup, should I bring it up now or warm it up first?"
"What medicinal soup?" Katie, who had just picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, abruptly raised her head and queried, and before the housekeeper could make a sound.
Victoria softly returned, "Warm it first."
Katie froze the movement of her hand, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was a bit quiet for a moment.
The harmonious atmosphere just now made her almost forget that Victoria had already been recognized by Katie's family in name only, and was in the genealogy of her family.
She was already recognized by the outside world and Katie's family as the fifth young lady.
An originally struggling illegitimate daughter by donating a kidney to the head of the family to obtain the identity of the recognition of the social network resources and a steady stream of wealth, the family has been recognized by the outside world and Katie's family.
Even if she needs to drink medicine for a long time in exchange for the rest of her life, it's still worth it, at least on the surface.
At least on the surface.
"Yueh-Bai, this medicinal food must be eaten on time, if there is anything else you need, you can tell the housekeeper directly," the head of the family said with concern.
"Okay, grandpa, wiki know" Victoria a little flattered back to say.
"Grandson, seafood congee eat more, this Liam know you mouth tricky must eat fresh and big seafood congee made of seafood shrimp.
I thought you came back last night in a hurry, the kitchen may not have sea shrimp.
Early in the morning personally drove to the outside to buy sea shrimp and personally instructed the kitchen to do," Katie family head smiled to Katie said.
Katie smiled and was about to reach for the porridge when the man next to her picked up her bowl and handed it to her in his long, bony hand.
Liam heard a very small sound and
"Thanks."
"No," Liam replied, a little confused, but offhandedly.
Couldn't remember the last time she'd initiated a conversation with him, probably two years ago! His throat tightened a little, Katie sat on his right and
Surprisingly, he'd gotten a little carried away to the point of wanting to get even closer to her, two years of marriage, two
Two years of marriage, two years of her being in New York, and him making time to visit her every month.
She'd always be out of town for a school function or something, but she'd never be there, and even if she didn't know he was coming, she'd leave the house that night, and she'd never want to face him, like he'd never come.
It was always because she didn't want to face him, and a response like the one she got now was all the more precious.
But she received the porridge frowned slightly, and did not drink it on the table as far away from himself as possible, these seemingly normal behavior.
These seemingly normal actions did not escape Liam, whose attention was always on her.
It was nothing but a little disappointment.
Katie's hand had been in her lap under the table, and the moment Liam's hand came up.
She stiffened a little, and then she obeyed, and the warmth of Liam's palm seemed to seep into her bones.
That action was not obvious, but the family head who was close by saw it.
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, smiled but did not say anything.
After the meal, Liam was called by the master of the house to play chess.
Katie returned to the Pearly Gates.
Unlike Liam's house, which was built in a Western style, Katie's house was a traditional garden.
Chinese pavilions and gardens of various sizes were scattered throughout the hundreds of acres of land.
Katie's house was built in the early days of the family's ancestry, and has developed into a truly prestigious family in A City.
All the family members lived in the house, each in their own courtyard.
Except for family dinners, they don't disturb each other.
In addition to the brothers of the Katie family, the head of the Katie family has two sons and one daughter in his own name, two sons and one daughter in his great-uncle's name, one daughter in his aunt's name, and one daughter in his youngest son's name, who was killed in a car accident years ago, leaving behind a daughter named Katie, as well as Victoria, who has recently been officially recognized by the family.
There is also the recent official return of Victoria ...
