Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire

Chapter 8 – Missing Her Already?



Grandma Zhong looked into Stephanie Ruan’s pure eyes and nodded her head with satisfaction. “Stephanie… That’s a nice name.”

“I am Javier’s grandmother. You can call me Grandma Zhong.”

“!!…”

Startled, Stephanie Ruan briefly glanced at Javier Zhong before meeting Grandma Zhong’s eyes again.

Never would she have imagined herself to be meeting his grandmother so quickly… And what’s more, in such an unexpected situation!

At the same time, Javier Zhong wore his usual indifferent look on the outside but is actually very surprised to hear his grandmother’s words.

People have to know that she does not just let anyone call her by the name of ‘Grandma Zhong’.

She must have taken a liking to Stephanie Ruan!

“Grandma Zhong, it’s nice to meet you.” With a sincere smile and a slight nod, Stephanie Ruan greeted her politely.

Having been in the business industry long enough, Grandma Zhong has already met all kinds of people. As such, she has the capability to tell if a person has good character or not, in mere seconds.

When Javier Zhong’s parents had introduced many different girls to her grandson, she did not find any of them suitable for him.

Yes, you could definitely say that Grandma Zhong has very high expectations of her future granddaughter-in-law.

But right at this moment, you could also say that she has finally met a lady who is perfectly suited to be her grandson’s wife.

Though she does not know Stephanie Ruan’s reason for coming close to Javier Zhong, she could tell that Stephanie Ruan is someone who has a warm heart and does not carry any malicious intent.

“…”

“We shall get going now… I will not take up both of your time. Javier, remember to come back for dinner tomorrow.”

Grandma Zhong patted lightly on Javier Zhong’s back before walking away to where her friend is.

Seeing that they are all leaving, Stephanie Ruan smiled lightly and gave the two older ladies a slight, but respectful bow.

Of course, she also squatted down elegantly and gave Ethan Chen a goodbye hug.

Without further delay, Javier Zhong turned and walked away in large strides towards the car which is parked by the roadside.

His driver dashed forward to start the engine of the car, while Isaac Wen went ahead of his young master to open the door for him.

However, just before Javier Zhong took a step into the car, he realised that Stephanie Ruan is not following behind them!

In fact, when he turned around, he saw Stephanie Ruan still standing in the same position as before, patiently waiting for Grandma Zhong, Grandma Chen, and Ethan Chen to completely leave her view.

What exactly is she doing over there??!

“Ethan, grandma found your favourite red toy sports car set, shall we go…” The enthusiastic voice trailed off as the three of them quickly became smaller in sight.

Witnessing such a heart-warming scene of Grandma Chen’s familial love for her grandson, Stephanie Ruan could not help but want to look at them for a little longer.

It reminded her of her late family members and what life would be like if they were still alive…

Would she ever get to receive such a pure love again?…

Completely unaware of what she is thinking about, Javier Zhong threw Isaac Wen a look before entering the car.

Knowing exactly what he meant by that, Isaac Wen instantaneously went forward to Stephanie Ruan. “Director Ruan, Chairman Zhong wants you to get into the car.”

Upon hearing Isaac Wen’s words, she snapped out of her daze and nodded in agreement.

Once again, Stephanie Ruan is sitting next to Javier Zhong in the car.

“Can you send me back to The Grand Quartz Hotel, please? I decided to go shopping on another day instead.”

Indeed, it has already been quite an eventful day for her thus far, so it would be wise of her to shop for the evening gown on a separate day…

With the car immediately setting off, Stephanie Ruan took out her phone and started looking through her work emails.

If there is one similarity between Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan, that is they are both workaholics!

Both of them would never hesitate to make full use of their travelling time to handle some work-related matters.

They are absolutely efficient and no one would deny this fact!

But it was not long before a cold voice reached her ears. “Why did you stop over and help the boy?”

“??…”

Stephanie Ruan turned her head and stared into Javier Zhong’s eyes for a few seconds before responding to his question.

“Do I need to have a reason for doing so?”

To her, helping someone out is a natural thing to do and she did not quite understand why he would ask such a question.

Oh right… Judging by how he had “helped” her earlier, she could totally believe that he might not have genuinely helped anyone before in his lifetime!

Unbothered to wait for his reply, Stephanie Ruan returned to reading her emails again.

Facing her nonchalant attitude, Javier Zhong squinted his eyes dangerously at her.

It makes him so mad that he is still unable to figure out her impure motives! This was something that he could easily do so in the past but as for this woman…

He really cannot see through her eyes!

Argh!!!

At this moment, she is nothing but a pest to him and he would rather get rid of her than keep a ticking bomb beside him!

Just that… there is still a “six months business relationship” with her…

Javier Zhong let out a smirk while thinking to himself, “Just wait and see! I’ll make sure to tear apart every single bit of her facade and make her regret this very decision of plotting against me!”

Meanwhile, a sudden thought entered Stephanie Ruan’s mind. “Why did you turn the car back then?”

She went slightly closer to him and teased him, “Chairman Zhong, do you have a weird habit of stalking people in general or… are you missing me so quickly?”
