Chapter 430: The Children-Sending Guanyin
After saying that, he feels that something is wrong and looks at Lily with curiosity, "Ms. Lily, did you
sleep herest night?"
"Yes."
David gasps with surprise and finally understands why Mr. Smith often looked at him unhappilyst
night. It turns out that he interrupted their dating!
David leans closer and gossips, "Then are you back together with Mr. Smith?"
He has worked for Louis for so many years, so he knows Louis well. If he doesn''t care about Lily, he
would never go to Country Y to help herst time, and he even let her stay herest night.
Apart from Lily and Mr. Smith''s pet dog and cat, nobody has stayed here overnight even including him,
Mr. Smith''s special assistance.
He remembers that he was kicked out when he wanted to sleep on the sofa after working until dawn
David sighs and thinks that he even lives worse than two pets!
"We have broken up, and we won''t get back together again." Lily says indifferently.
She still remembers what Louis saidst night. She will get rid of him and no longer have any
extravagant hope.
David is stunned. "Then, Ms. Lily, you stayed herest night..."
"It is kind of Mr. Smith to let me stay here because he was afraid that I couldn''t leave in the heavy rain."
David is even more dumbfounded.
To him who was kicked out by Mr. Smithst night, Lily''s words are not convincing!
Lily ignores David and puts the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen. She knows that the cleaner will
When shees out, she catches a glimpse of two baskets of oranges in the corner and her eyes
darken slightly.
After a while, Lily says to David, "Take these two baskets of oranges into the car and I''ll pack things up
and leave."
Seeing that David stands still, Lily calls again, "David?"
David returns to his senses and asks, "Take what?"
Lily points to the corner and he looks over. Seeing two baskets of oranges, he almost blurts out, "Holy
shit!"
Could it be Mr. Smith who called someone to deliver themst night?
David thinks that Mr. Smith treats Ms. Lily so well because he puts up her at home and cooks breakfast
for her by himself. But why is she so indifferent towards Mr. Smith?
David''s heart is filled with gossips, but he knows that Lily will not tell him anything. He rolls up his
sleeves and carries the two baskets of oranges into the car.
Lily rummages around the cat nest and finds a square cat box.
When she wants to grab Lucky beside her foot, she discovers that Lucky has disappeared, and Rich
isn''t here either.
"Lucky?" Lily calls twice.
Lucky meows.
Lily faintly hears Lucky''s meowing and finds that the voicees from the back of cab.
She walks over to the cab and sees that the chubby Lucky is stuck inside and it can''t move.
"What are you doing here?" Lily is confused.
Luckily, it is a custom-made log cab for holding odds and ends, so she quickly moves it away.
Lucky quickly jumps out and waves its tail.
Just as Lily is about to move the cab back, she notices a red bag in the crack.
Lily stretches out her hand to grab it. The thing she touches is so hard and it is covered by ayer of
red cloth. After opening it, she discovers that it is a white jade statue that a charitable Guanyin was
surrounded by countless children.
This...
Children-Sending Guanyin (Chinese bodhisattva of fertility, simr to Goddess Hera)?
Lily still wonders why it is ced in the corner of the cab, and suddenly recalls that when she came
back with Louis that day, she vaguely heard him ask Antony what he was hiding behind the cab.
After Antony left, she also wanted to see it, but Louis stopped her.
It turns out that Antony hid this.
Lily looks down at her abdomen andughs. "I can''t expect it really works."
Unfortunately, she has broken up with Louis, so she can''t tell Antony about this child.
"Ms. Lily, are you ready?" David''s voice is getting closer and closer to Lily. It seems that he has entered
the room.
Lily originally wants to wrap up the Children-Sending Guanyin statue and put it back in the corner. After
hesitating for a few seconds, she quickly stuffs the Guanyin statue into the cat box and then stuffs
Lucky into it.
Thinking that Sofia wille here and get pregnant in the future, she feels distressed.
David has already walked in.
"Ms. Lily, is there anything else you need?"
Lily shakes her head. "Here''s nothing for me. It''s enough for me to take Lucky away, but I don''t see
Rich. It didn''t answer my call. I don''t know where it went."
Just as she finishes speaking, she sees Rich rush downstairs, biting a silk scarf in its mouth and

wagging its tail at her.
At first, Lily is shocked. She thinks that Sofia hase earlier and left something behind. Later on, she
takes a closer look and finds that it seems like the ink-blue scarf she often wears.
Lily takes the scarf from Rich''s mouth with aplicated expression.
Rich waves its tail and rubs against her leg.
Davidughs and says, "Rich is just as smart as its father. Seeing you have dropped something, it even
goes to help you bring it over."
"Indeed." Lily stuffs the scarf into her bag and touches Rich''s head. "I''m leaving."
Rich keeps rubbing against her legs and wagging its tail.
"Alright, stop waving your tail." David waves Rich away and takes Lily out.
--
David sends Lily to the apartment and helps her carry two baskets of oranges upstairs.
Then, he takes out a document and hands it to her. "When I came, Mr. Smith asked me to bring this to
you."
Lily takes the document and flips through it. She sees that it is about the contract between the Smith
Group and HS Company. The price offered by the Smith Group is twice as low as the average in the
industry, and they also don''t require dividends.
She purses her lips tightly, not knowing what to say.
The man wants to get rid of her, but he takes care of her in everything for fear that she would be
bullied.
"Thank Mr. Smith." The people in the Smith Group are indeed the best in the industry. Without
affectation, Lily epts it. "Do you know where is Leigh? Help me check it out."
Last night, she originally wanted to ask Louis, but since they had some conflicts, she didn''t ask.
"Mr. Leigh is in thepany. The Lewis Group has been quite busy these days. I will go to the Lewis
Groupter. Ms. Lily, if you are in a hurry to find Mr. Leigh,e with me!" David says.
Lily is speechless. "If I knew earlier, I wouldn''t say so much in the WeChat. I would just tell you to bring
me with you when you go to the Lewis Group."
"Ms. Lily, when did you send me WeChat messages?"
"Last night." Lily says, showing him the chat history. "Were you too busy yesterday?"
David looks at the WeChat profile and thinks to himself, "This WeChat ount has long been taken
away by Mr. Smith!"
But he has to pretend so he says, "Oh, right. I was too busy yesterday, and I didn''t remember it for a
while. Ms. Lily, let''s hurry up. Otherwise, it won''t be easy to find Mr. Leigh if he goes out for business."
"..."
After arriving at the Lewis Group, Lily follows David to the President''s office without hindrance.
"Mr. Leigh, Mr. Smith asked me to give this to you." After entering the President''s office, David ces a
few documents on the table. "Ms. Lily has alsoe. She needs to see you."
Lily sees Leigh sit behind the table and look up at her. He no longer looks at her with azy and elegant
expression as before, but with a glum air.
Her heart shakes.
Is this the same Leigh she knew before?
Leigh seems unwilling to see Lily, so he asks impatiently, "What''s the matter with you?"
