"Besides, I'll work hard."
Brian answered, but he didn't really think so.
He would let Winnie choose the job she liked instead of making her follow his advice. She had made a
lot of sacrifice for her the kids. If he interfered with her job, it would be too unfair to her.
"I also want to talk about your father."
After speaking these words, Felix paused. He wanted to see how Brian would react to it.
The moment Felix mentioned his father, Brian realized that he was going to talk about the marriage of
his father. This time, he didn't just raise an objection for the reason he didn't know.
"Your father is not young anymore, and he needs someone to keep him company. I might pass away in
the not long future. I don't want to always still be worried about your father."
"Your mother had passed away for so many years. After all, it was she that made that choice. You've
hated him for so many years. It's enough."
"Find the right woman for him, so that they can take care of each other and chat with each other."
Seeing that Brian didn't respond to him, Felix told Brian everything he wanted to say.
"It's none of my business. If he wants a wife, he can find one himself."
Finally, Brian said these words, after which he got up and left.
Even now, when he remembered his mother's death, he was painful. He wouldn't try to accept his
father if he didn't receive the concern from Winnie.
Now, Felix asked him to forget the death of his mother and find a wife for his father. He couldn't
manage to do that. What he could manage to do was not to interfere with it.
Brian responded to it with a little anger, but Felix thought that it had been better than last time. And that
it would be more effective if he asked Winnie to talk to Brian about it.
They had dinner in the Johnson’s villa, after which, Brian left with his father and kids. Soon after Brian
drove out of the Johnson’s villa, Felix went to the study and made a phone call to Winnie.
At this time, Winnie Had already had dinner. She stayed with Vanessa all day because Vanessa was
down. Now, she was talking with Vanessa in Vanessa's bed.
When they were chatting, Winnie's phone rang.
Winnie picked up her cell phone and found that it was from Felix. Then, she got up.
"I'm going to answer the phone."
After informing Vanessa, she quickly came out of Vanessa's room.
After going back to her bedroom and making sure that Vanessa wouldn't hear her, she answered the
phone.
"Hello, Chairman."
Winnie greeted Felix politely, as always.
"I need you to do one thing for me."
Felix spoke in a stiff and authoritative tone. It was very different from before.
"Go ahead, please. If I can, I'll do it."
Winnie didn't care about how Felix treated her. She knew one thing: No matter how well she performed,
Felix wouldn't be nice to her.
“……”
Felix repeated what he had told Brian before coldly.
"Persuade Brian. It would be better if it's him that brings it up."
Winnie found it awkward, but she didn't refuse him.
"Well, when he is back, I'll talk to him about it."
The moment Winnie finished speaking, she heard no sound from the phone. Obviously, Felix had
already hung up.
The way Felix treated Winnie made her feel a little unhappy. He acted as if it were her duty to do so
and that she had owe a favor to the Bennet family.
She didn't know how long she could maintain such an unequal relationship. The reason why she
wanted to stay with the kids was that she wanted the kids to grow up healthily. She didn't want to get
anything from the Bennet family.
Why did people of the Bennet family consider her to be a scheming woman and look down upon her?
She thought about it, but she could only endure it. At this moment, Winnie could only make herself
endure all these. The kids were too young, so she could only endure the grievance.
After putting down the phone, Felix began to struggle unknown reasons.
He thought about his hanging up the phone coldly; he thought that he should invite Winnie to come
here next time; he thought that he shouldn't ask her to help him in that way.
Thomas asked tentatively.
However, he had talked to Winnie like that, and he had hung up the phone. It seemed useless to think
about that.
Just then, Thomas opened the door and came in.
"Dad, can I come in now?"
"Yes."
Felix sighed and no longer thought about those things.
"I'm here to talk about the marriage of Brian. Have you found the right person to have a blind date with
him?"
Thomas sat on the sofa with a look of ease.
"I haven't found the right people yet. Do you want to recommend someone?"
Felix directly asked. If Thomas was not going to recommend someone, he wouldn't come to him.
"I do want to recommend a person, but I'm not sure if you'll agree."
Before Felix answered, Thomas continued to say.
"She's a star named Gloria Lee. She and the Bennet Group..."
Just after Thomas mentioned the occupation, he was interrupted by Felix.
"No stars. Every star is plagued by gossip. She will ruin the reputation of the Bennet family."
"Dad, don't tar her with the same brush. There's really no gossip about this woman. There was only
news of affair between Brian and her when she cooperated with the Bennet Group. However, it just
disappeared when the cooperation ended."
"Although she's a star, she's from a powerful family. Her grandfather used to serve in the army. Her
father is a bigwig in automobile manufacturing. He has a famous brand of automobiles. Her
connections are much better than that of Wendy."
This time, Thomas didn't give his father the chance to interrupt, and just told Felix the powerful the
connections of Gloria Lee. As he had expected, Felix frowned.
It meant that Felix had attached some importance to it.
"Are you talking about WY?"
WY was the brand of this mobile manufacturer. It was indeed very powerful. Besides, after importance
was attached to the domestic brand, this company developed very rapidly.
"Yes, I was talking about WY."
"But as far as I know, the chairman of WY is Andrew Colin, instead of someone with the family name of
Lee."
Felix was puzzled.
"It's normal. Now, all the stars have stage names, and Gloria Lee is a stage name. Lee is the family
name of her mother."
Thomas explained.
"What's she like? Does she have high IQ and EQ?"
Felix became more and more interested in Gloria.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about that. If she were not intelligent, she wouldn't be able to be a star.
Her family members all have high IQ. Even if she's not very intelligent, she's better than Wendy."
"It's not the most important thing. What matters is another thing. If she marries Brian, the Bennet Group
will be able to become a car manufacturer, instead of just manufacturing parts."
"By the way, if I remember correctly, Andrew Colin should have some cooperation with the Bennet
Group. He should know something about Brian."
Hearing that, especially when Thomas said that the Bennet Group could become a car manufacturer,
Felix became very interested in it.
"Since you mention it, then carry out an investigation and then arrange a time for them to meet. By the
way, Brian won't have time to have a blind date before he goes abroad and comes back. Besides, tell
them something about Brian's kids and Winnie, otherwise there might be trouble in the future."
Felix asked Thomas to deal with this matter. This time, he didn't suspect why Thomas would do so. He
just thought that Thomas would like to take advantage of this opportunity to develop the Bennet Group.
Thomas accepted the task with a slight smile.
After they went back home, Brian's face had always been dark. Thinking that it was because Winnie
wasn't invited to go to the Johnson’s villa, Rufus didn't think much about it.
The kids were playing downstairs while Brian went back to the room to come to Winnie.
After seeing Winnie, he was still unhappy and still wore a cold expression.
"You're back. Where are the kids?"
Winnie didn't notice that Brian was unhappy.
"They're playing downstairs."
Not in the mood to answer Winnie, Brian spoke in a cold voice. Only then did Winnie notice Brian's
expression.
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Winnie had long not seen Brian being unhappy. Of course, she actually knew something. Brian's acting
like this must have something to do with what Felix talked to her on the phone.
"Alas..."
Brian sighed a long sigh and then lay in the bed.
Winnie went to the bed and sat down. Under such a circumstance, she didn't know if she should
continue to talk about this matter.
"Did Chairman ask you to have a blind date? Brian, don't struggle because of me. Just do what you've
promised. Don't disappoint Chairman."
Winnie found another way to start a conversation.
"He did let me have a blind date, and I didn't refuse him. I'm going to do it after I accompany Luke
abroad to take part in the match."
Speaking of this, Brian sat up and looked at Winnie.
"I'm sorry to let you suffer grievance again. But don't worry. I won't marry anyone who I have a blind
date with. I'll only marry you."
Hearing the first part of Brian's words, Winnie felt cold. However, when she heard the last sentence,
she was happy. Whatever the result was, at least Brian really cared about her now.
"You've made the decision. Why are you still in a bad mood? Don't think about it. No matter what your
decision is, I'll support you. I'll never hold you back."
Winnie had to commit herself now, so that Brian wouldn't be affected and would be able to make the
correct decision.
"I'm not being unhappy because of this matter. My grandfather, he..."
Brian wanted to talk about it, but he hesitated. He really didn't know how to begin.
"Is it not appropriate for you to talk to me about it? Then don't mention it. Nothing is a big deal. Just do
what you want."
As Winnie spoke, she got up and was about to go downstairs to meet the kids.
She knew that Brian needed courage to talk about that. She would be patient and talk about that at the
right time.
Just when Winnie was about to walk, Brian pulled her hand and made her sit in bed again with a little
force.
"Grandpa asked me to get a wife for him. He said that he has been in an old age. And therefore he
needed a wife, so that they could take care of each other."
Brian finally told Winnie why he was unhappy. If he couldn't talk to Winnie about it, who could he talk
to? He trusted her most.
Winnie was very happy that Brian told her this before she asked him about it in various ways. It would
be too tiring for him to just think about it himself.
"Do you want to know what I have to say?"
Winnie asked gently. She tried her best to do it in a more careful way to avoid making him sad.
"Go ahead."
Brian spoke in a low voice. Now he really needed someone to help him. And Winnie was the only
person who could help him.
