Chapter 431 An Awkward Dinner


    When the group of people heard what Austin said, they all smiled to show their trust in Jack. The


    originally quiet box was filled withughter for a moment.


    A woman at the same table, about more than 50 years old, who was about to retire, looked at Rachel


    and asked with a smile, "Are you the wife of the boss? Now you are pregnant. It seems that our boss is


    going to be a father soon. "


    With a faint smile on her face, Rachel didn''t say anything. The news about Jack was just released


    yesterday, and she was asked by his subordinates the next day. It sounded ironic and embarrassing.


    Thatdy talked about the problems that her daughter-inw had encountered when she was pregnant


    carefully, and Rachel listened quietly. The several people at the same table didn''t make any noise until


    they all stood up and shouted at the door of the box, "Boss."


    With her back to the door of the box, Rachel couldn''t see him, but the people at the same table looked


    at her again, with an indescribable feeling.


    When she was about to look back, she suddenly heard a familiar but strange voice, "Jack, are these all


    your employees? There are so many people here."


    "Yeah, didn''t you say that you were bored at home? So I took you out by the way." Jack''s voice was


    particrly gentle, as if it was a warm sun in winter.


    But it made Rachel feel a little bitter in her throat. She tried hard to hold back the smile at the corners of


    her mouth and told herself that it was not a big deal!


    The footsteps approached. Although Rachel looked down at the te in front of her, she knew that the


    two of them bypassed her directly. When she breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little sad.


    Although they didn''t sit next to him, they sat opposite her.


    It meant that she''d better keep her head down during the meal, otherwise she could see the two of


    them as soon as she raised her head.


    The lively atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and even Austin was confused, wondering what Jack


    was thinking.


    On the one hand, Jack asked him to pick up Rachel, and on the other hand, he himself brought another


    woman here. The two of them seemed to love each other very much.


    The people present probably had the same thought as him. Some of them who were bold and curious


    began to discuss in a low voice regardless of Jack.


    The other two kept moving their eyes between them, ncing at Rachel and Jack.


    After calming herself down, Rachel raised her head and tried to maintain a calm smile. "Everyone


    should be here. Don''t sit here anymore. Pick up the chopsticks and enjoy the dinner!"


    Then she picked up a piece of roast duck meat in front of her with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.


    She lowered her head and began to eat.


    Withdrawing his gaze from her, Jack put an arm on Scarlett''s shoulder and asked softly, "Do you like all


    these? If you don''t like it, ask the waiter to serve more."


    "No, thanks. I''m not a picky eater."


    Scarlett was really overjoyed.


    It was beyond her expectation that Jack would take her here to attend the dinner party in the MK


    Group.


    Just now, when she saw that Rachel was also sitting here, her heart trembled. She was afraid that she


    would be kicked away by Jack again. But she never thought that he would still be so gentle to her.


    Of course, Rachel heard the conversation between the two people, but she didn''t say anything. It


    seemed that what she was eating in front of her was not just a roast duck, but the delicious food of the


    world, which attracted all her attention.


    Several employees at the same table, as well as the people at the next table, nced at the three of


    them, as if they were specting about the rtionship between the three.


    But it also made the box, which should have been lively, unusually quiet. Only the sound of chopsticks


    colliding with the te, and the sound of chewing could be heard.


    After a while, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside. A fat middle-aged man came in


    with a ss of wine in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other. He smiled and said, "Mr. Fu, I


    heard from the waiter that MK Group is having a dinner here. I haven''t seen you for a long time, so I


    come in and propose a toast to you?"


    As he spoke, he walked in, just standing next to Rachel. He raised the ss in his hand to Jack and


    said with a smile, "is this Mrs. Fu sitting next to you? So young, beautiful and lucky!"


    Hearing this, all the people present looked a little strange, Rachel''s heart sank, but she didn''t show it


    on her face. She still lowered her head and ate the food in her bowl. But she couldn''t help but hear


    Jack''sughter and reply, "You''re wee." then she looked up at him.


    She saw him looking at her with a smile, but the emotion in his eyes was somewhat unpredictable.


    It was said that people''s emotions were the most able to be revealed in their eyes. However, as they


    grew older and experienced, their emotions in the eyes couldn''t be read gradually.


    In the past, Rachel could see through something, but now she couldn''t.


    Or maybe she was toozy to pay attention to him.


    Jack just replied, but he didn''t raise his ss to respond. The middle-aged man was a little


    embarrassed, and didn''t know what to do.


    A man about forty stood up at once and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, why do you bring such a small


    bottle of wine here? It seems that you are here to ask for wine from us."


    While they were joking, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, alleviating the embarrassment of the


    middle-aged man.


    The middle-aged man nodded at him and smiled. "Yes, I''m sure the wine I bring is not enough. So I


    have to ask Mr. Fu to borrow some wine."


    Hearing this, Jack seemed to be in a good mood with a slight smile on his lips. He also raised his ss


    and clinked it with the te in front of him, making a crisp sound. Then he raised his head and drank it


    up in one gulp. "Don''t worry, wine is enough!"


    The middle-aged man immediatelyughed brightly. From the man beside Jack, he began to propose


    toasts one after another. Soon it was the turn of Rachel.


    He bent down slightly. Because he had drunk too much just now, his body trembled. He asked, "This


    lady looks a little strange. I don''t know how to call you."


    "Miss Shen." Rachel picked up the tea cup in front of her and gently clinked it with him. "I''m pregnant,


    so I can''t drink. Drink tea instead of wine."


    "It''s okay. As long as you are happy." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with a smile, "I


    wonder which man is so lucky to marry Miss Shen?"Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    When she heard this, Rachel subconsciously looked at Jack. He looked askance at her. Although there


    was a faint smile on his lips as usual, the blue veins on his temples suddenly jumped.


    There was a trace of indifference in her expression. Rachel looked away, pursed her lips and smiled,


    "I''m divorced."


    "What a pity!" The middle-aged man sighed. Maybe he had drunk too much, he took out a business


    card from his pocket and put it in front of Rachel. He tapped two times on it with his index finger and


    said, "I''m divorced too. Miss Shen, would you like to think about me?"


    If it was in the past, Rachel would definitely ignore it.


    But when she thought of the gentle expression on Jack''s face when he appeared with Scarlett just now,


    she was somehow angry. She put away the business card directly, and then smiled at the middle-aged


    man. "If have a chance in the future, we cane out together and have a talk."


    The smile on Jack''s face suddenly froze, and his face suddenly darkened. He didn''t know how hard he


    had used, but the goblet in his hand was broken by him, and the wine in the goblet immediately


    sprinkled all over the table, dripping down.


    Scarlett eximed and reached out to hold Jack''s hand. "How is it going? Did you cut your hand?"


    "Nothing." Jack withdrew his hand coldly. He saw that his face was cold, and his eyes were like awls


    staring at Rachel. Seeing that she seemed not to notice him at all and was still talking with Mr. Wang,


    he mmed the table and stood up.


    Among these people, Austin knew the most about the rtionship between Jack and Rachel. Although


    he was confused about Jack''s behavior of bringing Scarlett here, he vaguely guessed something.


    At this moment, seeing Jack''s murderous eyes, Austin stood up and walked to Mr. Wang. He pulled Mr.


    Wang''s arm and said, "Mr. Wang, you''ve been here for a long time. Your friends must be waiting for


    you."


    Mr. Wang didn''t realize it at all. He waved his hand and said, "It doesn''t matter. I''ve told them before I


    came. Besides, I haven''t finished my toast yet."


    While they were talking, Mr. Wang had already sat down on the empty chair next to Rachel, as if he


    wouldn''t leave until they had a good chat.


    At this moment, Jack didn''t look good and Scarlett had already been a little unhappy. She forced


    herself to calm down, picked up the bottle on the side and filled her ss in front of her. She smiled at


    Mr. Wang and said, "Mr. Wang, since you have proposed a toast to Jack, I''ll drink this as a response to


    you. Please don''t refuse my kindness, Mr. Wang."


    Her words not only shifted the attention of all to her, but also directly showed the intimate rtionship


    between her and Jack.


    Mr. Wang also looked away from Rachel and nodded with a smile, "Mrs. Fu, you''re so kind."


    Acent smile appeared on Scarlett''s face.


    Seeing that Jack had no intention of refuting Mr. Wang''s "Mrs. Fu", Rachel felt her heart ached, but she


    still pretended to be strong and looked at all this without changing her face.


    Scarlett sat down with a smile. Seeing that Jack''s ss was empty, she refilled it thoughtfully.


    Mr. Wang, on the other hand, had almost finished his drink. Now that he had drunk a full ss of wine,


    he felt a little rxed. Seeing that Rachel was putting her fair-skinned hand on the table, he wanted to


    touch it directly.
