Chapter 262: Chapter 260: Struggling to Survive, Sister Qi: Snatching the Rice Bowl
Old Master Sia glanced at the person opposite him, understanding in his heart.
So this old guy’s ulterior motive wasn’t the game; he came under the pretense of playing chess, but his real intention was the girl.
He also knew about the girl’s background, but some things can’t be forced.
"Sister, want to play a game?"
Benjamin Green rushed towards the girl, clutching his phone, his dark eyes sparkling.
Feeling the intense gaze on her, Claire Green’s fingers paused slightly, she lowered her eyes and softly responded to Benjamin.
"Okay."
She greeted the two old masters and led Benjamin towards the garden.
Watching her back, Old Master Green set down his teacup and sighed deeply.
For a moment the living room became extremely quiet.
Perhaps unable to bear the atmosphere, Old Master Sia leisurely placed a chess piece and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
On the board, the black pieces, though pressing white step by step, still left a glimmer of hope.
Staring at the layout on the board, Old Master Green placed a white piece and said, "Take it slow. Today her bringing me tea was already the best outcome."
Originally, he was prepared to be met with cold eyes today, but unexpectedly, there was such a pleasant surprise.
"I’m telling you, you shouldn’t have married that woman from the Ziegler family. In these decades, not only did that woman not help you in any way, but she almost ruined the home," Old Master Sia said with disgust, mentioning Madeline Ziegler.
Without her, the girl would have grown up pampered and cherished at the Green Estate, and no one would have disrupted her coming-of-age ceremony.
Old Master Green smiled bitterly; indeed, if he hadn’t listened to his parents back then, none of these troubles would have come.
Back then, the situation forced him to agree to the marriage alliance; after marriage, he provided all the social respectability he should, yet he didn’t expect to raise a viper.
Seeing this.
Old Master Sia lost interest in playing chess, slowly beginning to speak, "The Ziegler family is still struggling, for Madeline Ziegler to hold on until now..."
He didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone present understood.
Caleb Green spoke gravely, his eyes filled with intense murderous intent, "They won’t be struggling for long."
Back then, they didn’t deal a fatal blow to the Ziegler family only because they thought compared to them, Claire might prefer to handle it herself.
Now that she had arrived in Capital City, certain matters naturally needed a conclusion.
...
"Sister, come save me."
Benjamin Green held a phone, continuously shouting.
"Find a spot and lie down yourself."
Claire Green watched the footsteps on the map, calmly maneuvering her character, while the sound of intense gunfire came from the phone.
After taking out a whole squad, she jumped down from the building and strutted towards Benjamin with a gun.
Julian Sia and Caleb Green arrived to witness such a harmonious scene.
Then, within five seconds of harmony, they saw Benjamin, who had been sitting in place, was now lifted up.
Claire Green squinted her eyes slightly and casually spoke, "Did you do it on purpose?"
In the previous game, he kept getting killed, and now he was running wherever there were more people.
Benjamin blinked guiltily and then started spouting nonsense earnestly, "Definitely not. I was just coordinating with sister’s skills."
Staring at him for a few seconds, Claire laughed lightly and pinched his cheek, her demeanor relaxed, "Oh really, so you kept dying."
Feeling a chill from behind, Benjamin started to apologize spinelessly, "Sister, I was wrong."
Suddenly.
A deep, magnetic voice slowly sounded from behind.
"Ah Jin is getting along better and better with the little rascal now."
Hearing the voice, Claire released the person she was holding, lazily smirking, "Not as well as with brother."
Benjamin, hearing this, pressed his tongue against his molars; today was another day he wanted to shoot someone.
Don’t think he couldn’t hear the jealousy in his words.
"Not going in," Julian Sia’s lips curled into a smile.
Claire Green’s eyes sparkled, her thumb rubbing her phone silently.
"Claire..." Caleb Green opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but upon meeting the girl’s dark eyes, all words choked in his throat.
Just then.
The phone rang loudly.
As soon as Julian Sia connected the call, an eager voice came through from the other side.
"Julian, you’re back in Capital City. The brothers have arranged a gathering. Why don’t you bring the little sister-in-law for us to meet?"
Hearing this.
Julian Sia had a hint of helplessness in his eyes; this group was truly persistent in wanting to meet Claire.
"Address."
The person on the other side was momentarily stunned, then blurted out quickly, "The usual place."
Julian Sia responded and hung up, looking at the girl with a smile, asking for her opinion, "Want to go?"
Claire Green: "It’s all the same to me."
...
"Is Julian coming?"
As soon as the call ended, everyone in the private room looked over.
Seeing him nod, they all started speaking up.
"Finally, we’ll get to see the one who made Julian bloom."
"That’s right, someone who even Mason Quinn acknowledges, quite looking forward to it."
Jasper Qi listened to them discussing one after another and slowly reminded, "I advise you to quickly remove all the alcohol and tobacco; Julian’s girlfriend doesn’t like those things."
He had heard from Mason Quinn that Claire Green made Julian quit smoking, and if they came and saw these things later, it might not be easy to explain.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The others were dumbfounded.
It took them quite a while to react.
"No way, Jasper, are you sure you’re not joking."
"Without smoking or drinking, what’s the fun."
"Julian wouldn’t really listen to her, right."
Jasper smiled meaningfully, "Try if you don’t believe."
"Better not."
After speaking, he hurriedly called the waiter to remove all the alcohol from the private room.
When Julian Sia and the others arrived at the private room, they saw the coffee table filled with juice and milk, nothing related to alcohol in sight.
Upon seeing them, everyone in the room focused their gaze on the girl.
Seeing her face clearly, they couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
There was no expression on the girl’s face, her delicate features exuded aloofness, and her eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, radiated a bit of arrogance.
Especially her dark pupils, filled with cold indifference, exuding a powerful and oppressive aura.
Wow, Julian’s girlfriend is quite dashing.
Jasper Qi saw their unsophisticated looks and couldn’t help but cough, completely forgetting he had the same reaction when he first met Claire Green.
Once everyone snapped out of it, they all stood up and greeted.
"Julian, this is the little sister-in-law, right? She’s really pretty."
"Hello, little sister-in-law, I’m Vincent Wei."
"I’m Ethan Windsor. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"Richard Howard."
After they introduced themselves, Jasper Qi slowly extended his hand, "Hot chili pepper, we meet again. I forgot to introduce myself last time, Jasper Qi."
Looking at the person in front of her, Claire Green’s eyes showed a hint of playfulness, "Didn’t expect Young Master Qi to be competing with teachers for jobs."
Jasper Qi’s mouth twitched, what did she mean by competing for jobs, couldn’t she say it nicely.
Claire Green glanced over him lightly and casually spoke.
"Claire Green."
Just as she finished speaking, the private room’s door opened once more.
Everyone looked over, their expressions immediately stunned.
Damn, why did she come over.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Claire Green chuckled lightly, "Miss Tan, you arrived quite quickly."
