Chapter 17 That Guy's Fiancee
Chapter 17 That Guy's Fiancee
The next day which was a weekend, Vana was ordered to rest at home.
After sleeping for the whole morning, Vana felt that her energy finally recovered. Moreover, because of
the death of a person on the dormitory floor, people that Vana met in the past few days gradually
become less. There were also some employees who lived in the dormitory for a long time, so they
began to rent an apartment outside. Except for a few figures occasionally passing by, the whole floor
was no difference from a ghost building.
It would be better for Vana. After all, she was the only one occupying the dormitory now.
Sitting on the bed near the bathroom, Vana looked at the "masterpiece" left by herself in the dormitory.
The other bed was full of clothes, a pile of uncovered cosmetics on the table, and more than three sets
of unwashed work clothes were hung on the chair.
This kind of unrestrained life was really wonderful. No one cared about her freedom, and she felt that
she could live here for a whole year.
Vana rubbed her hair leisurely and got out of bed. Soon, her phone rang. She slowly clicked on the
Skype and saw an unread message on a Patrick Star's profile picture.
Vana clicked on it and then clicked on the voice message. Soon, a kind voice came from inside.
"Vana, it's getting cold today. Go out in a long sleeve shirt. Call me when you arrive at the intersection
of H Village. I'll send someone to pick you up!"
Edwin's voice made Vana smile. She immediately pressed the recording button and replied, "I know,
Grandpa. I'll be there soon!"
What Vana said "soon" was two hours later.
Vana, who had planned to have breakfast on the way, procrastinated to the H Village at lunch time. At
the intersection of the H Village, a black commercial vehicle had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as Vana walked to the entrance of the village, an old man got off the passenger seat of the
commercial vehicle. Vana knew this old man before. He was the former steward of Edwin, Mark Qin.
"Miss Vana, Mr. Edwin had asked me to wait for you here for a long time... Have you had breakfast?"
Vana shook her head. Soon, Mark Qin took out a glass bottle from his arms like magic. Inside the
bottle, there were a lot of plump Macadamia, which were peeled and packed. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Vana immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Mark, how do you still remember that I like nuts!" It was
impossible for her grandfather to peel it for her.
"Yes, of course I do. Miss Vana is very endearing!" As he spoke, he walked towards the back door of
the car. After opening the door, he saw that Vana got on the car happily with a can of Macadamia in her
arms. When he was about to close the door, he reached out to rub her hair and said, "don't eat too
much. Mr. Edwin has ordered to prepare country style food for you!"
Vana nodded. Mark Qin closed the door and went to the passenger seat. Then the car started to drive
on the asphalt road of the H Village.
H Village was an urban village. There were rows of tall and low buildings nearby, but it was absolutely
not the center of the Magic City. The four districts of the Magic City were well developed. Among them,
the most developed one was the SG District where Vana lived now, and the weakest one was the ME
District, and the H Village located in the ME District.
For the time being, there was no subway in most of the road sections of the ME District, so it took Vana
two hours to arrive here. If the subway was opened, it would definitely take less than 40 minutes.
The scene of the ME District was the most primitive, which was most in line with Vana's definition to
Magic City.
On her way here, she could often see buildings of four to six floors. The vast majority of the buildings
were inherited from the ancient Rome buildings that were imitated when the Magic City were on the
rise in the past. Those magnificent eaves, the high roof like the clock tower, and the unique stone arch.
Everything showed the glory of the ME District's land in the past.
Vana liked every inch of this place inexplicably, because it also recorded the beginning of the Gu
Company.
When the Gu Company was in the generation of her grandfather, it was still stationed in the ME District.
Since the SG District was developed, the Gu Family had begun to move to the SG District. But the ME
District still kept the Gu Company's old house. Since Vana's grandmother passed away, her
grandfather had returned to the old house.
After a while, the car stumbled along the more and more uneven asphalt road around the lake. There
was still some mud on the road, and the bumps and hollows on the road were not very flat. Even so,
Vana could not help but take out her mobile phone to take many beautiful pictures.
The car moved along the fork road for another 10 minutes, and a large area of green wheat field
appeared at the entrance of the village.
The season was still early, and wheat was not mature yet. Some peasants were exposed under the
scorching sun weeding in the field, and some children were playing in the vegetable field. Soon they
were covered in dust.
The car arrived at a small stream and stopped outside a brightly lit villa. Vana looked up and saw the
words "ZR Mountain Villa".
But she remembered that when she went fishing with her grandfather before, there was nothing here.
At that time, the lake was not a lake, but a large pond. How could it change so much now!
"Mr. Edwin is inside. The villa was built three years ago. The owner of it knows that Mr. Edwin likes
fishing here, so Mr. Edwin is a senior member here."
"Senior member? Shouldn't it be a fishing member?"
"Well, I agree with you! Let's go inside!" After saying that, Mark Qin made a standard gesture of servant
to Vana.
Soon, Vana was guided into the villa by Mark Qin. She saw the whole villa was covered by tall and
thick trees, which made this place very cool.
"Mr. Mark, where is my grandpa?" Vana had almost eaten up the macadamia. She was a little reluctant
to put it down, leaving the other half in her arms and looking around.
"He is playing chess by the lake in the backyard."
Vana knew that her grandfather couldn't just go fishing here.
As soon as Mark Qin finished his words, a very high pitched voice came, "I've told you that you lost.
Look, general!"
With a loud "click" sound, the high pitched voice inside responded with a loud laugh.
Vana quickly followed the voice into the yard. This was the courtyard beside the inner courtyard. The
main courtyard was not here, but it was very lively here. When she went there, the two old men were
playing chess, and a group of young bodyguards surrounded them.
Vana's grandfather was wearing a red Chinese tunic suit, and several half gray hair was shaking on his
forehead.
In front of him sat an old man, who was about the same age as Edwin. He wore a white short shirt
made of sackcloth, and his hands were holding a walking stick because of anger.
Edwin was still laughing wildly, and the face of the old man in front of him could be described as "want
to kill him".
Vana hurried to mediate the dispute and complained, "Grandpa, didn't you say that you came here to
cultivate yourself and fish?"
"Fish... It is fishing over there. Vana, here you are. Come and see this defeated opponent of Grandpa.
He said that he hadn't met any opponent for more than ten years. It seems that it's too early to brag. Ha
ha!"
Vana was speechless. She looked at the grey haired old man who was clenching his hands and
immediately shifted everyone's focus. She ran to the lake and picked up the line on the fishing rod. She
said, "Grandpa, is this the fish you caught? All the bait has been eaten up, but where is the fish?"
With a wave of his hand, Edwin didn't care about it at all. He continued to look at the chessboard and
said, "Clark, you've lost the game from the beginning. Come on, let's go back. I'll teach you how to do
it. Come on, or we'll have dinner later!"
Vana was speechless. Why was this man so arrogant? Didn't he know how to observe others' facial
expression?
Just then, Mark Qin walked into the courtyard and said, "Mr. Clark, Mr. Edwin, lunch is ready. Miss
Vana hasn't had breakfast all the way here. Please move to the dining room!"
Vana immediately took a step forward, and the gray haired man with a walking stick was about to
leave, but Edwin stopped him and said, "don't worry. It will just take me ten minutes to prove your
mistake. Sit down, sit down."
Vana was about to lose her temper, and the other gray haired old man was even more furious.
"Edwin, are you looking for trouble on purpose? Don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you
because your granddaughter is here. We haven't seen each other for decades and you treat your guest
like this?"
"Well, you become different after staying abroad for more than 20 years. You are more aggressive than
before. Well, let's have dinner first. Don't move this game. I'll be angry if anyone dares to move it."
As soon as Edwin finished his words, the grey haired man seemed to go against him on purpose. He
even messed up the chess game with his hands and angry look was quite funny.
"Well, you are angry, All right, let's compete again later!"
At last, Edwin stood up and walked towards the door. But after only two steps, he immediately turned
around and said to the old man, who was holding a crutch and trembling with anger, "by the way, don't
you want to see that guy's fiancee? It's her."
Edwin pointed at Vana, who was shocked by his words.
