Chapter 12 The Banquet


    When Lily’s mind is wandering, the sound in the bathroom stops, and Jason is about toe out, she


    puts back his phone and pretends to pick up the clothes.


    “What are you doing here?” asks Jason. When he sees Lily is in his room, he is very surprised, but


    after he knows that Lily is only picking up his clothes at that time, he seems to be at ease.


    Lily looks as usual, sheughs and gives him back his clothes and says, “I did not see you in my room,


    I juste here to talk with you of how much money do you think we should give to your cousin,


    because he is going to hold a dinner party for his new born son.”


    “We are in close rtionship. What about giving him eighty thousand?”


    It is arge amount of money.


    Lily tries to hold back her surprise, but finally she says, “I think it is okay, but I gave all the money to


    J, and you know that, Jason, my mother is staying at the hospital right now, I do not have enough


    cash in my hand, maybe you should pay for it.”


    Jason is surprised, and he says subliminally, “You earn a lot in your department, and I believe that it


    does not take you much to pay for the treatment of your mother, right?” He suddenly realizes that Lily is


    looking at himself directly and he knows he makes a big mistake.


    He changes his tone and says, “Lily, what I am trying to say is you used to be in charge of all the


    expenses in our family. I know nothing about it, maybe this time, you should be the one who pay for it.”


    “Jason, I admit that I have a higher sry, but to be honest, I gave most of it to J,” Lily says, tries


    to control her anger. “I think we should ask J to give us back the money so I could pay for it,


    without her, I do not have any money.”


    Jason is annoyed. He does not realize that Lily, who has been such a good wife, has a tough attitude


    this time.


    He is forced to agree with her and says he would take that money from his mother.


    And he happens to see that Lily is holding some documents in her hands and asks her what that is.


    After saying that, he intends to take it from Lily’s hands. But Lily steps back.


    “It is nothing, only a trantion document,” says Lily, “I was looking for a pen in my room, but I could


    not find it, so Ie here to look for another pen.”


    Jason does not have any doubt and points to her, saying “My pen is over there, on the table.”


    “I know, and I have already signed it up. You have a good rest and I am leaving.”


    When she returns her room, she is heartbroken.


    She thinks she was such an idiot before, because she thought she took advantage of the Smith Family


    and got a lot of benefit, but in fact, she did everything with caution. When J wants to throw a party,


    she would n it herself. When it is someone’s birthday, she will pay for the bill.


    Right now, her mother is in the hospital, she does not have any cash and tells Jason to pay for the


    money, but she is turned down and condemned of not having any money.


    How ridiculous!


    Jason paid for everything that the woman wants, her money should just go into their bank ount?


    When she thinks about the conversation between her husband and that woman, and the attitude that


    Jason shows her, she holds the divorcement document firmly, and her eyes are bing fierce.


    Jason and that woman tried to set her up, she should take revenge.


    Soon, the day of the dinner party arrives. Lily dresses herself well up and goes to a restaurant with


    Jason and J.


    When they arrive, Lily finds out that Jason’s cousin is holding the party in a famous restaurant in the


    city center. It must cost a lot of money.


    Jason’s cousin runs apany, which also costs a lot of money, but he decides to hold the party in


    such an restaurant, wouldn’t it be too expensive?


    J knows that this is a fancy restaurant.


    So, when she sees Jason’s cousin Jack and his wife Susan, shees forward and says in surprise,


    “You chose a nice ce, but would it be too expensive for you two?”


    “J, we are a family,” replies Susan with a big smile, “We are so delighted that you cane the


    party. We do not care about the money.”


    Lily shows a mysterious smile.

    Family? She knows Susan well, she is such a woman, mean and arrogant.


    After a few seconds, Susan says, “Actually, we do not want to hold the party in such an expensive


    restaurant, but my husband Jack sent a message to Louis Smith, and he agreed toe here, which


    surprised us a lot, so we had to choose this ce not to embarrass ourselves.”


    J is not happy.


    Even Lily is very surprised.


    Jason and Jack’s uncle, is heing here?


    It must be impossible, Louis is so busy, he does not have time toe here I guess. And, he did not


    care about the family members, it is impossible for him to attend the party.
