"Hey, you finally come down." Ellison made fun of Eric when he saw him downstairs. He also looked
behind him and asked, "Where's your little girlfriend? Is she shy that she doesn't come downstairs with
you?"
Eric glanced at him, ignoring him. He turned to look at Amaya, who was busy with dining table, and
asked, "Amaya, where are the clothes I asked you to help me dry today?"
"They're still in the washing room. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away." Then she stopped and
turned to the washing room.
"You provided such a good service!" Ellison said again.
Turning his head to look at him, Eric said calmly, "She is my woman, of course I have to serve her
well."
"Well." Ellison shook his head and looked at Eric from beginning to end. "Not bad, not bad. Among our
three brothers, only you are so good to women."
"I know you are a bad example so I can't learn." Eric contradicted, "Didn't you say that we must protect
our woman? It's not a big deal to do such a little thing."
At this moment, Amaya came over with folded clothes in her hands. She looked at Eric with a smile and
said, "Mr. Eric is so considerate. The girl will be very lucky in the future."
"Thank you very much!" He took the clothes with a smile and went upstairs.
"Well, Eric..." Smiling, Ellison went to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He said to Noble,
"Among the three of us, he is the only one who treats his woman so well."
"You didn't meet before. If you did, you would still be the same." Said Noble in an indifferent tone.
There was an indescribable relish in his tone. It seemed that he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes of
life.
Ellison smiled and didn't go on with this topic. He was afraid that it would bring about the deep sadness
for Noble.
When Eric and Lily got downstairs hand in hand, Amaya had already prepared the dinner and put it on
the table. Noble and Ellison sat on the sofa, chatting.
"Coming down?" Looking at them, Noble said slightly. Then he stood up from the sofa and said, "Let's
go to eat."
Ellison stood up too. He looked at Lily up and down and came to a conclusion, "Too thin, too flat."
Hearing this, Eric's face darkened. He turned to Ellison with displeasure, "Brother, be careful of your
words."
"Noble, see it." Ellison took a casual look at Noble and said, "I only said a word, he teach me."
Taking a look at him, Noble said, "You should take care of yourself. Nobody would take care of you
when you were outside, but here is our home."
"All right." Ellison curled up his lips. He didn't expect that the two men would lecture him first before the
little girl made any reaction.
Lily looked at all this quietly. She was not angry at Ellison's words. She could see that he was a master
of picking up women, and was the kind of man who as long as he waved, the women would come.
Realizing that they had ignored Lily, Eric pulled her close to him and introduced, "This is my elder
brother, Noble. This is my second elder brother, Ellison. He is a playboy. Don't take his words
seriously."
Lily nodded to them with a smile on her face. Finally, she looked at Noble and said, "brother Noble,
thank you for saving me today."
"Yes." Noble said flatly, "I've said that I saved you for the sake of Eric."
"I know." Lily still smiled, "But I owe you. I should say thank you."
"You are very clear about that." Noble smiled and walked to the dining table.
Lily just smiled. She was very clear about the reason why she did that. It was because she only wanted
to maintain a relatively simple relationship with Eric. If their relationship was affected by anything else,
their mood would be different.
"Eric has a good choice." Ellison cast a glance at Lily and nodded. He walked to the dining table as
well.
"Let's go to have dinner." As soon as he voice fell, Eric took her hand and led her to the dining room.
The dinner was very rich, and Lily liked it. She ate a lot, but she seldom picked up food with chopsticks.
It was Eric who picked up food for her. She was embarrassed in front of the other two people.
She even secretly asked him not to pick up food for her many times, but he pretended not to know and
continued to pick up food for her.
In the end, Lily had to give up and buried herself in the food with the gaze of Noble and Ellison.
After dinner, Eric drove Lily back to the Qiao family's old house by himself. He just borrowed a car from
Noble.
It was almost ten o'clock when they arrived at the old house of the Qiao family. The lights in the living
room were still on. Joe was sitting on the sofa and waiting for Lily.
"Lily, you are back?" Hearing the footsteps, Joe turned around and waved at Lily anxiously. "Come
here. Let me check if you got hurt."
To set Joe's mind at rest, Lily walked to him with a smile and said in a cheerful tone, "I'm fine, Grandpa.
Don't worry."
"It's such a big thing. How could you say it's okay?" Joe looked her up and down. He was relieved after
making sure that she was fine. "What a careless girl Emily is. She even didn't know the client's
background and took you out. How could she make such a mess?"
"Grandpa, it's not her fault." Lily sat next to Joe, reached out her hand and wrapped around his arm.
"They hid themselves so well. She was injured today. And Bill was the one who was hurt most badly.
Basically, I wasn't hurt."
"Well, Grandpa shouldn't have let you go to the sales department." Joe sighed, "Although you can learn
a lot there and make the rapid progress, it is the most dangerous to deal with all kinds of people. I'll
transfer you to the financial department tomorrow and teach you something about finance. In this way,
you'll be in charge of the financial flow of the company in the future."
"Don't bother, Grandpa. It's good now." Lily hurriedly said, "I know you are worried about me, but I want
to be promoted as fast as I can."
Lily wanted to go to the financial department, but it was not the right time now. Now, in the Qiao's
company, Dillon was closely monitoring the company's business, including the company's financial
situation. What's more, Lucia attached great importance to the company's financial department.
Although she didn't work in the company, that didn't mean that she wouldn't let either her parents pay
more attention to the financial aspect of the company. If she went to the company now, it would
definitely make their suspicious.
"Girl, listen to me..."
"Grandpa, I have to grow up." Joe wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lily. "It's just
a small frustration. How can I grow up quickly if I don't come over this thing?" It was just an accident."
Seeing that the two had a quarrel, Eric, who had been ignored, said, "Grandpa Joe, you'd better follow
her wish. She really needs more experience. Moreover, she's stubborn, and she won't easily change
her decision."
It was not until now that Joe noticed Eric. There was a flash of apology on his face. "Look at me. I have
been too busy with this girl that I have totally ignored you. It's very nice of you to help her today. And I
also keep down your help last time."
Eric knew that the last time he said was the time when he fell off the cliff with Lily. But he shook his
head with smile. "Grandpa Joe, today I'm not helping her. He's my friend."
Subconsciously, he didn't tell him his real name. Though Noble always kept a low profile, everyone in
the upper class circles knew his name. He didn't want too many people to be involved with him.
"Whether it is your friend or you, I will remember it." Joe said and then said, "Sit down. Don't stand still.
Have you recovered from your leg injury?"
"Yes, everything is all right now." As he answered, Eric sat down on the sofa.
"That's great. That's great." Joe repeated. Then he turned to Lily and said, "Go get him a glass of
water."
Hearing that, Lily was stunned. She didn't expect that Joe would ask her to bring some water to Eric.
She had never done this before.
"Hurry up." Seeing that she didn't move, Joe urged her again. "No matter what, Eric saved your life.
You should get him some water in person."
"No, Grandpa Joe. I'm not thirsty." Said Eric, with a faint smile in his eyes. He looked at Lily and
continued, "Besides, I dare not drink water if she gets me some."
He was telling the truth. It was okay for him to get a glass of water. But it had another meaning that Joe
asked her to do so.
"Why can't? What's more, People have to be grateful." With these words, Joe turned to Lily again and
said, "Hurry up, Lily."
"Okay, okay, I'll go." Lily had no choice but to get up and pour a glass of water for Eric in the kitchen.
"Girl..." Eric was just about to stop Lily, but Joe interrupted him. "Don't mind her. She should do it."
"Grandpa Joe, it's late now. I should go back." With that, he stood up and said, "I'll go and tell her."
Seeing that he wanted to leave in such a hurry, Joe didn't ask him to stay, and it seemed that he
couldn't make him stay.
As soon as Lily entered the kitchen and touched the glass, Eric walked in and hugged her from behind,
holding her hand with the glass.
