In the Qi's mansion
Holding the children's ticket, Terence sat on the sofa in the living room, with a little boy by his side
shaking his hand hard. With a few teardrops hanging in the corner of his eyes, Thomas looked delicate
and pitiful.
"Dad, I want mom! Look for mommy!" Thomas held Terence tightly, trying to look for her mother. He
hadn't seen his mother for a long time and really missed her.
He was afraid that if he hadn't seen his mother for a long time, she would leave again.
"Thomas, listen to me! I'm busy these days. I'll go there in two days, okay?"
Terence explained patiently. He had been hiding the fact that Hester was kidnapped from Thomas,
fearing that he would make trouble.
But who would have thought that even if Thomas didn't know about it, he had already been so eager,
which made him very tired.
"Then ask Auntie Lisa to go with me!" Thomas rolled his eyes and came up with a compromise.
Although he also wanted to be with his parents, he could give up one of them in order to see his
mother. Anyway, dad could be seen every day. It shouldn't be a problem for him to leave a little longer!
Glancing at Lisa coldly, Terence smiled with a little pressure. "Really? Then you can ask Lisa. If she
has time, she can go with you!"
"Auntie Lisa, do you have time to take me with you?" Thomas looked at Lisa eagerly. Lisa loved him
the most and must take him there.
Lisa frowned awkwardly and looked away from Terence's sharp eyes. 'It's you two who are in conflict.
Why do I always get involved?'
"Thomas, as you can see, I have been busy these days. I really can't leave. How about two days
later?"
Even Lisa, who loved him most, was unwilling to take him out. The tears in Thomas' eyes were like a
water tap that had opened a gate, running out.
"Dad! I want my mother!"
Although he disdained the way he acted like a spoiled child, he couldn't care about it at this moment.
He didn't care as long as he could see his mother.
Terence rubbed his forehead. He was most afraid that Thomas would be troubled. In the past few
years, he had been taking care of him alone. Although he had a large group of servants, he was still
worried about them.
Lisa, whom he trusted most, couldn't always help him, especially when Thomas cried.
"Thomas, I promise you that I will take you there in two days, okay?"
At this time, someone rang the bell outside the door. Lisa took the opportunity to leave the battlefield.
She'd better stay out of the affair between the two father and son.
Looking up at Lisa's back, Terence felt a headache. If she was here in the past, she might help coax
him. But now, it was easy for her to run!
"Everything can be discussed. Is this also possible? I am busy now and don't have time. Can you give
me two days?"
Now that Hester was missing, he was already very annoyed. But Thomas was still making trouble here.
How could he not be distracted?
Lisa received an invitation card and was trembling with fear. Mr. Terence was in a bad mood now. If she
told him something useless, she was afraid that she would be punished in the end.
"Sir, someone sent an invitation!"
Terence raised his eyebrows impatiently. He was somewhat disgusted with the invitation card handed
in at this time.
"Put it there!"
"Sir, this is from the Liu family. You'd better have a look!" Lisa tried to persuade him. Although the Qi
family was powerful now, the Liu family still had to be thought highly of.
"The Liu family?"
Terence raised his eyebrows. Since Miss Liu eloped with someone, the Liu family had little contact with
the Qi family. Why did they suddenly send an invitation today?
Confused, he opened the post and frowned.
"The granddaughter of the Liu family?"
It was said that the granddaughter of the Liu family had been abroad for a long time, and she had never
shown up. How could she do it in such a big way now?
"Young master, come with me!" Lisa took Thomas' hand and left in a hurry. Although Terene doted on
Thomas very much, now he was in a bad mood. It was inevitable that he would be angry!
"But..." Looking at Lisa eagerly, Thomas was unwilling. He hadn't achieved his goal yet. How could he
be willing to leave?
"How about I take you there some other day? Your dad is busy now. Let's not disturb him, okay?" Lisa
bent down and coaxed him in a soft voice, hoping that he could leave as soon as possible.
After thinking for a while, he nodded obediently and left with Lisa.
On the night of the banquet, the Liu's mansion changed the traditional style to a grand and distinctive
Chinese courtyard.
Hester was sitting in the room, surrounded by four people. Beside her, there were three people, with
clothes and shoes in their hands. Standing in a row, it looked quite frightening.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Hester only felt uncomfortable. She twisted her shoulders and felt sore
and numb. "It's almost done. Don't dress up too deliberately. I'm not good enough. I won't be beautiful
no matter how I dress up."
"You are so beautiful. How can you be inferior to others?" The make-up artist's brush danced in the air,
and the corners of her mouth slightly twitched. "There are no ugly women in the world. It's obvious that
they don't want to dress up."
Hester nodded in agreement. She was different from before just by waving her brush casually. "Yes,
yes! I agree with you!"
The make-up artist glanced at Hester strangely. She thought meaningfully, but she didn't say anything.
She was carefully painting Hester's face with foundation.
"Hester, are you all right?" Leo held Derek's hand and knocked on the door. He glanced at Derek with a
smile.
"I also have a cousin. What are you proud of?" Derek rolled his eyes at him and decided to let it go.
Leo liked to haggle over everything since he was a child. If Derek was not too narrow-minded, could he
still stand here?
When Hester opened the door, she saw the cold war between the two of them. She felt inexplicably
tired. Since she came to the Liu family, of course, Derek was a regular guest. But every time she saw
the two quarreling, she really felt tired!
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
Hearing the voice of his cousin, Leo instantly raised a smile, turned around and looked at Hester
eagerly.
