116 Jealous
The full name of the little plum man was Plat Weber, whose family had made a fortune in the coal mine business. So, he became a famous second-generation rich at Richmond Arts University.
He was a campus weirdo who never knew how to keep a low profile. He always worn glamorous outfits and accessories, drove luxury cars and brought some hot chicks.
When he introduced himself to Isabella for the first time, he solemnly emphasized that he was as just like his name: he had the backbone of a plum blossom against the freezing winter and was a capable man who could be relied on.
It was a pity that not only did Plat have a baby face, but his skin was fair. He looked so cute that Jane and David who were beside Isabella were convulsed with laughter; they could barely stand up straight...
Since then, Plat’s nickname “the plum man” had been spread throughout the campus, and Plat suffered a heavy blow.
Isabella immediately knew that Jane and David were picking on the freshman, so she grabbed the two of them and forced them to apologize to Plat. To her surprise, Plat generously said that he was not bothered by such trivialities.
As he was speaking, his eyes were still filled with tears of grievance.
Naturally, it could be imagined that the two villains, David and Jane laughed themselves to death again... From then on, Plat had completely acknowledged the existence of his nickname...
“How can a bus be as comfortable as my car?!”
.....
After hearing Isabella’s refusal, Plat immediately slid into anxiety and urged the two girls beside himself, “You guys, get off quickly. I have to give Isabella a lift. She doesn’t like the strong smell of perfume!”
“...”
When Isabella saw the beauties throwing tantrums in the car, the hospitable plum man had already gotten off the car and walked towards her. Isabella took a step back in embarrassment and said, “No, no. I really should take the bus.”
“Come on! You’re so beautiful, what if you come across some pervert...”
Plat grabbed Isabella’s wrist and said, “If you don’t get in the car, I’ll hug you like last time...”
“Isabella, are you waiting for the bus to go home?” A white business car pulled off the road beside the two of them and its window was rolled down.
“Lukas!”
Isabella made out the man inside the car and nodded happily, “I’m waiting for the bus to go home!”
“Get in.” Lukas opened the passenger door and said, “I just happened to visit your family.”
“Yes!”
Isabella pulled her hand out of the plum man’s and smiled, “Sorry, Plum Man. I’ll just take my brother-in-law’s ride. Bye!”
“Hey! Isabella...”
As the car went far away, Isabella saw the little plum man scratch his head and sigh in the rearview mirror. Finally, she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Your suitor?” Lukas casually glanced at the rearview mirror and asked.
“No.”
Isabella shook her head awkwardly. “It’s a freshman. He rushed backstage at the welcome party and said that he felt like he had seen me in his previous life. Sine then, he had been trying to get some verification from me... Perhaps there’s something wrong with his brain...”
“Ho ho.”
Lukas laughed, “Obviously, he is courting you. However, he is young and passionate. He doesn’t know where to start, so he found such a lame excuse.”
“If he really is courting you, then it’s even more impossible for me to accept it.”
Isabella covered her mouth and smiled, “The pursuit has made me think that there is something wrong with his head. That means that our values are completely incompatible!”
“So I appeared just in time? Didn’t I destroy your date?”
“No, how timely!”
“Ho ho...”
Lukas smiled, “Although I haven’t officially become your brother-in-law yet, even as your brother, I won’t let you date such a brat. Judging from the way he dresses, he’s just a playboy.”
“Fortunately, even though he’s high-profile, he is very cute. He never hurts others”
Isabella glanced at Lukas’ engagement ring on his middle finger, “Lukas, why are you going to my home tonight? Dad seemed to have said that he would take me and my Rosy to some kind of business party tonight.”
“Yeah, I’m going to that party too, so I’ll go pick up your sister.”
Lukas spun the steering wheel, his movement sharp, natural and charming, just like he did in action movies.
“Then later...”
“Later, I will drop you off at a block away from the Smith’s.” Lukas interrupted Isabella, “I won’t let Rosy see us.”
” ... Ok.”
...
When the car reached its destination, Isabella got off the car and walked across a street to the door of her home. Meanwhile, Rosy was getting out of her red sports car.
Isabella greeted her stiffly, “Hey Rosy, you’re off work.”
Rosy ignored Isabella, shoved her away and walked in before her. Then, she slammed close the door.
Isabella grinned helplessly. She took out the key as usual and opened the door again.
“Lukas, you seem to have lost weight. You’ve been working hard lately, haven’t you?”
As soon as Isabella opened the door, she saw Rosy sitting on Lukas’ lap and put on her sweet persona.” I feel so sorry for you.”
“I’m fine.” Lukas smiled as he wrapped his arms around Rosy’s slender waist. He turned to look at Isabella who had just entered the room. He smiled naturally, “You’re back.”
Isabella immediately pretended to see Lukas just now and greeted him politely, “So you’re here, too, Lukas. Sit down and have some drinks first. I’ll go upstairs to get changed.”
“Ok.”
Lukas answered while looking at Isabella. The next second, Rosy turned his head over and kissed him as if no one else was around, “Darling, I miss you so much...”
“Me too, baby.”
When Isabella went upstairs, she saw that Lukas was turned on by Rosy. He hooked her neck and kissed her fervently on the sofa...
Wow...
No matter how she tried to persuade herself not to overthink, when she saw Lukas making out with another woman, she was still insanely jealous...
Isabella helplessly went upstairs, changed her clothes, and followed Carl to the destination.
Tonight’s business party was organized by a retired senior official from the provincial government. It was said that this old official was ambitious and that he wanted to invest in some businesses after he had retired. So he invited those businessmen in Peace City for discussion and instruction.
As far as Isabella knew, although this old man had retired, many of his children and family members were important officials in the city and the province. Therefore, many people in Peace City were willing to engage in this event, which could be seen as a win-win cooperation.
The chosen location was magnificent. It was a large and luxurious three-storey clubhouse in the suburbs.
At 8 p.m., limousines lined at the entrance.
The male guests were dressed in suits and leather shoes, while jewelry was glittering on the female guests.
Isabella followed behind Carl and greeted everyone politely.
“Ah, Mr. Smith, you came!”
The host at the door warmly said, “Welcome to my banquet salon.”
“Mr. Alfredo, I heard that wanted to do start a business after you came back in glory. If you need any anything, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
Then Carl pulled Isabella forward and said, “This is my little daughter. Isabella. Bella, say hello to Mr. Alfredo.”
