Chapter 22 Money Talks
1345 Words
Barret immediately slammed on the brake.
Joe sat in the back row without a seat belt, and rushed forward, banging his head dizzy.
"Are you all right, Master?"
"It's okay."
"Master, don't think like that. The young lady is a bit willful, but she is not a bad person. You must not leave the Andrew Family."
Seeing Barret so nervous, Joe laughed to himself, because he didn't want to leave at all, at least he didn't want to leave now.
If he left now, how could he make money?
The reason why he looked "sad" was not because he was teased by Nicole, but because he was trying to make money.
To be blunt, he would ask Barret for a drink by making a "sad" look.
These wines were not used to drink, but to sell them out.
he was mean to do so, but Barret was the housekeeper of Andrew Family, and he was just a son-in-law who would be swept out at any time, so he had to make plans for his future.
"Oh, don't comfort me. I've become disheartened these few days. It's better to go back to pick up trash than to live in the Andrew Family. Park at the front intersection. We should bid goodbye. Just take it as if we have never met. Whenever she wants to go through the divorce procedures, call me, then I'll go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Barret became even more anxious when he heard it.
"Master, calm down, the lady went a bit too far this time. I will tell the lord when we are back. the lord will help you, but you must never talk about divorce again."
"Forget it. I don't want the lord to have any arguments with the young lady. They are a family after all, and I'm just an outsider, I'd better go."
"No, Master, who said you are an outsider. You are a member of the Andrew Family. Also, you... How can you help your old friends if you leave? You can't just think about yourself."
"I have more than two hundred thousand, which is enough."
"There are so many people in the warren, what does the little money can do? Master, listen to my advice, don't pay attention to the lady in the future, and focus on your career. When you become famous, help your old friends. That's what makes people admire you."
It sounded good, and Joe intended to give in.
"All right, if it wasn't for helping my friends, I wouldn't go back."
"Yes, master, you are right to think so."
"Can you get me a few bottles of wine, I'm so depressed."
"No problem, I'll drink with you."
"Well, I don't need you to accompany me. I will drink slowly when I can't sleep."
"Alright, by the way, Master, I heard that the young lady let you sleep in the utility room, right?"
"You know it all."
"Go live upstairs in the east building. I've gotten people to clean it up."
"I live in a building by myself?"
"Yes, no one will disturb you except those who come for cleaning. You would live a peaceful life."
"Nicole wouldn't cause me troubles, right?"
"Maybe not."
"Look how unassuming you are. Are you also afraid of her?"
"No, the young lady is actually very poor. She lost her parents at a young age. She wasn't so arrogant before, but the death of her parents hit her too hard, and she hasn't been relieved.
Hearing this, Joe could feel the misfortune and sympathize with her.
He had never seen his parents since he was a child, and Nicole lost his parents.
Sometimes, the sudden loss was crueler than never possessing.
"But that is not the reason she played around with me like that. I didn't kill her parents."
"Master, you feel sorry for the young lady, right? As I said, you need some time to know each other."
"Come on, I care about her, but who cares about me? If this continues, I will lose my hope before we know each other."
"It's not that serious. Let's go home."
"OK."
As soon as they entered the living room of the East Building. Nicole's voice was heard.
"Oh, coming back so soon. The police are very efficient."
Looking up, Joe saw she was standing by the railing on the second floor, looking at Joe gloatingly.
Joe thought to himself, 'Just mock me, I won't miss the chance of making money. When I save enough money, I would marry a woman who is a hundred times more beautiful than you. By then, I will take with her and make fun of you.'
"Nicole, I forgive you for what happened today, but can you stop teasing me like this in the future?"
"Wow, how generous you are. It is worth I bought you a new mobile phone."
"A new phone? Where is my old one?"
"I threw it in the trash can in the supermarket, but your phone card is still there."
"You..."
Joe turned around and was about to go out.
"Hey, where are you going? It's been picked up by someone else. It is just a broken phone. Look at this one I bought for you, it's more than ten thousand dollars."
Joe felt happy when he heard it.
For the sake of the money, he forgave her.
"That cost you a lot. Thank you."
"Well, here you are."
After that, she threw down the phone directly.
Joe rushed to pick it up and fell unsteadily under his feet.
Barret was dexterous and caught the phone.
"Miss Nicole, stop fooling around."
"Who is fooling around? I care about him. I had a great time today. JOKE, see you later."
After that, she went downstairs triumphantly and left.
"Did you hear that? Barret, it is so insulting to be called JOKE."
Barret chuckled.
"Master, you can't always look down on the good side."
"I would like to see the good side, but is there any good side?"
"Of course there is. First, the young lady bought you a new cell phone. Second, she allowed you to live in the east building. Isn't this a good start? She has made a great compromise."
When Joe thought about it, that was really the case.
Although he was teased by her, he didn't suffer any substantial damage. Now he lived in a new house and got a new mobile phone. He had got a bargain.
"But it sounds unpleasant to hear her calling me JOKE."
"My Master, don't you think the lady has started joking with you unknowingly?"
"I didn't see it."
"Well, in short, things are moving in a good direction. I will show you around the building."
"All right."
After walking around the building, Joe was very pleased.
There were three floors in total, with everything one could need, including eating, drinking and playing. It was just like a small-scale resort.
"Barret, thank you. In this family, only you treat me as a man. When I get rich, I must repay you."
"Don't think so. In fact, everyone respects you very much."
"Come on, when they saw me, they seemed to see a ghost, and couldn't wait to hide from me."
"Hey, be considerate of them. They have to be considerate of the young lady, and they are in a dilemma."
Joe nodded.
For the sake of monthly p*****t, he should be considerate of them.
"Well, just forget about it. Get me a few bottles of wine."
"Okay, I'll get some now, but don't drink too much. You will have a great time with those old friends at night. Enjoy the fun with them!"
"No problem. By the way, what gifts did you prepare for them?"
"Well... Master, I won't tell you for the moment. In short, it will definitely satisfy your old friends and will definitely give you face."
"Satisfy them. It doesn't matter whether I lose face or not."
"Really, then I will unload part of it?"
"Barret, save the trouble."
"Haha, I am teasing you."
