My Mysterious Husband

Chapter 264 The Return of Kerry (1)

When Pingan saw everyone laughing, he laughed along with them and parroted, "Please don't. Pleasedon't."

Venus smiled lovingly, pinched Pingan's little nose and said, "You come to join in the fun?"

"Please don't. Please don't." Pingan repeated, grinning.

"Hahahahaha," Kevin let out a loud laugh, "Pingan, you are really my good nephew. Come, unclewants to reward you." Kevin came to him with a piece of fish and fed it into his mouth.

"Thank you, Uncle." Pingan said in a clear voice.

"You're welcome." Kevin ruffled Pingan's limp hair.

The laughter had lasted for a while. John the Butler in charge of refilling the wine was deeply touched.There hadn't been laughter in this house for a long, long time.

While the crowd were happy, someone was angry.

The sound of Xiaomei Pan dropping her chopsticks instantly interrupted the happy atmosphere.

Venus knew what was going on, but still smiled very gently and asked, "Miss Pan, is there anythingwrong?"

"Why aren't my dishes served yet? Am I here to eat or not?" Xiaomei Pan said furiously.

Venus did not get angry. When she was just about to ask John to hurry things up, she saw a maidcome over with two plates of food.

"Here, put it here." Venus moved the dishes in front of Xiaomei Pan to make room, and then took theplates from the maid and put them down.

One dish was peasant fried pork, and the other was Mapo tofu.

Mrs Qin was really casual about it, Venus thought, but she liked it.

"Just like these?" Xiaomei Pan was clearly dissatisfied.

The maid bowed and said, "Mrs Qin said that we didn't have the ingredients at home, so we can onlymake these two slightly spicy dishes."

John quickly figured out what had just happened and explained, "We buy the freshest ingredients everymorning, so it's normal that there isn't any in the kitchen."

Xiaomei Pan still wanted to say something, but her brother poked her in the arm and signaled her toshut up.

She had to say, "All right then."

Venus smiled and sat down, thinking to herself, "Girl, you are in the Ye Family. It is not a place whereyou can do whatever you want."

Except for this unpleasant moment, the whole atmosphere at dinner was harmonious. In order to helpKerry restore his memory, Kevin told many funny stories about Kerry’s childhood. For example, Kevinpretended to be Kerry's parent and was reprimanded by the teacher. A girl put a love letter in Kerry'shand, but he threw it away and the girl cried. Kevin and Kerry went to play in the mountains and almostgot lost. It was the first time that Venus had heard those stories.

During the conversation, Venus had drunk four or five glasses of red wine. When Kerry saw herflushing, he subconsciously said, "You'd better stop drinking."

But Venus waved her hand, "I'm fine. I can still drink. In the past few months when you disappeared, Icouldn't sleep at night, so I resorted to alcohol. See, I can drink a lot now."

She said joyfully, but the people listening to her felt bad, especially Kevin who was sitting across fromher. He knew about Venus's insomnia, but he didn't know that she had been secretly drinking at night.

The light in Kerry's eyes darkened a bit.

Kevin changed the subject, "Kerry, why don't you go to the company tomorrow? Maybe you canremember something in that environment. The earlier you recover your memory, the earlier I canescape from the fire pit."novelbin

He really wasn't the material for managing the company. He got a headache just looking at the weeklyreports from different companies, let alone making any monthly plans. He'd rather be a rich and idleman. With his brother around, he wouldn't be short of money anyway.

Kerry was embarrassed, "But I don't know anything. What should I do there?"

"You are smarter than me. You'll definitely learn faster than me even if you have to learn it from scratch.Besides, you don't have to say anything tomorrow but wear a poker face."

"Eh...Really?"

Venus also agreed, "You've always been like this, with a poker face every day, as if someone owed youmillions of yuan."

Uh... he was such a president?

"It is decided then. You come with me to the company tomorrow. Don't be nervous. I'll be standingbehind you all the time," said Kevin, staring at the woman across the room and smiling, "Venus, you'recoming with him tomorrow, just to dispel the rumor."

"What rumor?" Venus asked in surprise.

Kevin stretched his hands helplessly, "What else could it be? The company's employees all thought Ihad usurped Kerry’s position, and the rumors went viral, but I am such a kind person, how can I dosomething like this? So you two must go together tomorrow to clarify for me."

"Alright, alright. You have described yourself as this pathetic. How can I not go?" Venus was tappingher chopsticks against her cup and humming a tune through her nose.

Xiaomei Pan said at once, "I'm going to the company too."

Venus' chopsticks crunched on the glass and she turned her head to look at Xiaomei Pan, "What areyou doing there? It's a company, not a shopping mall."

Xiaomei Pan straightened her neck and said, "Wouldn't it be nice if I went to see Kerry's company?"

Venus drank a little too much and spoke much more frankly, "Do you know what kind of person Kerry isin front of his employees?"

"How do I know?" Xiaomei Pan was indignant. She didn't work in the company.

Venus put one hand on Kerry's shoulder, "He is good-looking and has strong working ability. He is notonly generous to the employees, but also loves his wife and family. The employees all treat him like agod. You want to tell everyone that the boss they've always respected and admired is actually a scumwho can change his love easily?"

Venus said these words without thinking, but when Kerry heard it, he felt extremely unpleasant. So thatwas how he looked like in the view of his employees?

"But...but..." Xiaomei Pan had stammered for quite a while before she could say anything.

Venus took her hand off Kerry's shoulder and said, "You seem to want to live here for a long time. If youwant to steal Kerry from me, what's the rush? How about this, you can visit Sky City and I will ordersome people to take you wherever you want to go and buy whatever you want." While saying this, sheturned her head to John, "John, could you please fetch my purse?"

John didn't know what she wanted to do, but hurried to fetch her purse in the living room. Venus tookout a credit card and rudely put it in Xiaomei Pan's hands, "There is 100 thousand yuan in it and youcan spend it as you want. If it's not enough, I'll give you more. A girl should buy more beautiful clothes,bags and cosmetics to make herself beautiful, so that more boys will like her."

Xiaomei Pan looked at Venus with confusion. Not only she was confused, everyone present was a bitperplexed. Shouldn't Venus be hostile to Xiaomei Pan? Why was she suddenly so intimate withXiaomei Pan?

The red wine had a strong delayed effect. Venus's head was a little dizzy. In order not to make a fool ofherself, she stood up with hands on the table, ready to leave, "Em... You can continue the banquet. I'mtired after running for a day. I'll go upstairs to rest now.".

She turned around and took two steps, but her footsteps were not steady. She lunged forward andalmost fell over. At that moment, Kerry rushed out and held her by the waist.

Venus stood up with the help of his hand, and looked at him with charming eyes, "Thank you."
