Chapter 949 Meeting Parents


    The two of them walked around for a while and saw Essie,ing over.


    Janice''s face darkened. No wonder Eva was so relieved to go shopping with her. It turned out that she


    had secretly called in Essie.


    She had nned to bewitch Eva, a foodie, to eat dragon eyes fruit and coix seed congee. She had


    read on the book that these were not for pregnant women. But things would be difficult if Essie came.


    She would definitely not let Eva eat it.


    What the hell.


    It was the season for dragon eyes fruit. Fresh dragon eyes fruit were ced outside the fruit store.


    Looking at it, Eva was greedy.


    "Eva, do you want dragon eyes fruit?" Janice asked deliberately, hoping that Essie didn''t know the


    taboo.


    Unfortunately, she was disappointed, because not only Essie knew it, but also Eva herself knew it.


    She had kept in mind what Jim had warned her not to eat. She couldn''t be careless about her baby.


    She was a responsible mother.


    "I can''t eat the dragon eyes. Now I have to endure it. When the baby is born, I can eat as much as I


    want."


    "It turns out that you can''t eat something during pregnancy." Janice pretended not knowing it.


    "There are many taboos for pregnant women, but for the sake of the child, I can bear anything," Eva


    said, touching her belly.


    "Mommies are great. She can sacrifice everything for her child, even her own life," said Essie, holding


    her shoulder.


    Janice pursed her lips secretly. If she had a choice, she really hoped that she wouldn''t be borne by her


    parents, so that she wouldn''t have to suffer so much torture and pain.


    "Let''s go to eat hairy crabs. It''s just the season to eat hairy crabs," she suggested.


    Eva shook her head apologetically, "Janice, I can''t eat crabs either. Let''s go to drink the soup stewed in


    crock. It''s nutritious."


    "Okay." Janice shrugged, with a strange look in her eyes.


    The three of them went to a nearby restaurant for stewing soup. Eva ordered mushroom with chicken


    soup, which was very suitable for pregnant women.


    "Don''t put longans and wolfberry in it," Essie told the waitress about that. These were not suitable for


    pregnant women.


    The waiter marked down seriously on the order list.


    After ordering, Janice excused herself to the bathroom and walked out of the room.


    Taking a sip of jasmine tea, Essie said, "You are pregnant now, so you must be careful. Janice is a


    vicious woman. You''d better keep a distance from her. You should try your best to avoid seeing her."


    "Okay, I''ll be careful." Eva nodded.


    After Janice came back, the two of them didn''t say anything and waited for the waiter to serve the


    dishes.


    The soup was served soon.


    The waiter served each of them a bowl.


    When Eva was about to drink, she was stopped by Essie.

    "Don''t drink it now."


    "What''s wrong?" Eva asked.


    Then Essie picked up the spoon and said to the waiter, "Please change another one. There are job''s


    tears seeds in the soup. We have a pregnant woman here, so she can''t have it."


    "Okay." The waiter nodded and quickly took the soup out.


    A cold light shed across Janice''s face.


    After a while, the waiter came in with the cook.


    "It is you who came to the kitchen and asked me to put job''s tears seeds in it," the Cook said.


    "Who is it?" Essie frowned.


    The cook pointed at Janice and said, "It''s thisdy."


    Janice jumped up like she was prick by a needle, "You misheard me. I was talking about corn, not job''s


    tears seed. I hate job''s tears seeds the most. How can I let you put it?"


    The waiter was slightly stunned. "You mean corn?"


    "Yes, you misheard me," Janice argued.


    The cook scratched his head in depression and went out. She asked him to put job''s tears seeds, not


    corn. There must be something wrong with her pronunciation, so he made a mistake.


    A sharp light shed in Essie''s eyes. Janice was really troublesome.


    "Oh, it''s lucky that you found it. Otherwise, there would be something wrong if Eva eats it. Whether you


    said it wrong or the cook heard it wrong, Jim will kill you," she sneered.


    "The cook misheard. It has nothing to do with me." Janice rolled her eyes at her.


    "Why do you go to the kitchen and ask them to add something randomly?" Essie asked.


    "I think the soup is delicious with corn in it," Janice argued.


    "Why didn''t you say it when you ordered the soup?" said Essie.


    "I forgot." Janice pouted.


    "You''d better be kind and practical. If you don''t want to die, you''d better behave yourself," said Essie.


    "I did nothing." Janice would never admit it.


    "You know it yourself." Essie snorted.


    Janice wanted to argue, but Eva said in a low voice, "Well, let''s eat. I''m hungry."


    At this time, in Le''s apartment.


    Le received the news from Maxim that they would meet at the same ce, "See you at six o''clock in


    the evening at the same ce."


    She was finally relieved.


    Since she met himst time and gave him the map and information, she had never received any news


    from him, nor had she seen any movement in the Rong Mansion. She had always been very nervous


    about this. She was looking forward to what would happen, but she was afraid that something would


    get her involved if it was exposed.


    She was half anxious and half expecting that she would receive the news from Maxim every day.


    Finally, she got the news. She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn''t know if he had investigated the ghost


    yard clearly. She hoped that it was sessful and nothing would happen.


    She hoped it was a good news. She set out early and arrived at the appointed old warehouse before


    six o''clock.


    There was no sign of anyone in the warehouse. Obviously, Maxim hadn''t arrived yet. Le was a little


    disappointed. She guessed that he would arrive soon. Sheforted herself and hoped that Maxim


    would arrive soon.


    Half an hour had passed. Why hadn''t hee yet? It was not like him. He was always punctual, and


    this time he took the initiative to ask her out. Logically, he wouldn''t bete. Was there anything wrong?


    She began to feel a little uneasy. She stared at the entrance of the warehouse, hoping to see Maxim


    immediately.


    Meow! A cat''s cry suddenly came to her ear. She was so scared that she almost jumped up. She


    turned around and looked behind. A big ck cat suddenly appeared behind the warehouse. It seemed


    to be frightened and ran out of the warehouse in a hurry.


    It was just a kitten. She took a deep breath tofort herself and turned around to continue to stare at


    the entrance of the warehouse. Suddenly, she found a newspaper on the ground.


    She remembered clearly that there was not this newspaper when she first came in. The floor was clean


    and there was no newspaper at all. She felt that cold sweat began to break out on her back.


    In a conspicuous ce of the newspaper was a piece of news, ''Murder''. There was also a photo of a


    middle-aged man lying in a desertednd, dripping with blood all over his body. His death was horrible.


    ''Isn''t this Maxim?'' she thought. He was killed! Then who was the one who made the appointment with


    her today! She rushed out of the old warehouse like a little mouse that was trodden on its tail.


    Le''s heart was still pounding when she returned to the Rong Mansion. As soon as she sat down and


    took a rest, she saw the housekeeper, uncle Li,ing over.


    "Mr. Albert has something to look for you. He asked you to go there." He told her that Albert was


    looking for her.


    What could it be? Albert seldom looked for her. She didn''t know what would it be that he was looking


    for at thiste hour? She felt confused and uneasy.


    "Daddy, I heard that you are looking for me?" When Le entered the living room, she saw Albert


    leaning against the sofa and reading newspaper.


    "Yes, you are back, Laura. It seems that you have been in Dragon City for some time. How many


    months have you been here?" Albert looked up at her and continued to read his newspaper.


    "Yes, it has been several months." Le was confused about this topic and answered after thinking for


    a while.


    "I haven''t heard much about your family. Are your parents still alive? Do you have any other brothers or


    sisters?"


    "I''m the only child of my parents. They are all healthy."


    "That''s good. I think you and Walt have been married. It''s time for you to hold a wedding ceremony.


    When will you call your parents over to discuss with them?"


    ''What does this old man mean by mentioning the wedding and meeting my parents? Is it a coincidence


    or something? Why was Maxim suddenly killed? Did this old mane to me at this time because he


    doubted me?'' she thought.


    After leaving from Albert''s house, Le''s heart sank. She was worried that Albert and uncle Li had


    suspected and targeted her. She was hesitant whether she should run away secretly or not. She knew


    that if Willi knew that she ran away secretly, he would definitely not let her go.


    She hesitated whether she should run or not. In the end, she wanted to try her luck. She felt that she


    was always cautious and should not expose too much. Besides, she did not do anything particrly


    sorry to the Rong Mansion. Even if she was found out, nothing special would attract attention.


    She decided to take the risk. When Albert made an appointment, she would first find two people to


    pretend to be her parents and muddle through this.


    Today was the date of the appointment. Looking at the two people in front of her, Le was still


    hesitating whether to take them to see Albert. She could only bet that. After all, it was better than facing


    Willi. She encouraged herself secretly.


    "Dad, mom, this is my biological parents. I brought them to see you," she introduced her parents to


    Albert and Mary.


    She turned around and introduced them to her parents, "Dad, mom, they are Walt''s parents."


    The two old men were both ordinary people who had never seen much of the world, and they were


    obviously a little scared of the prominence of the Rong Mansion. The two of them quickly greeted


    Albert and Mary, trembling with fear.


    "Nice to meet you."


    "Nice to meet you. Wee to Rong Mansion. Please have a seat. Don''t be too restrained."
