Chapter 5 An Irrelevant Outsider

In fact, Shirley seldom contacted with these people, but today she was in a bad mood and wanted to find a place to vent her anger. Shirley didn't expect that Albert would see her most embarrassed side every time.

Seeing Shirley sad look, Albert raised his eyebrows and asked, "are you in a bad mood? Because your sister took your man? "

What happened at the wedding today was obvious to all.

Shirley looked at Albert with her eyes wide open and denied, "of course not! I... "

Before Shirley finished speaking, she suddenly stopped.

In fact, what Albert said was true. What could she deny? Shirley didn't dare to admit it, just because she was afraid of leaving a bad impression on others.

"Yes, I am very sad... I've been sad all the time... " Shirley's voice suddenly became low, and her trembling voice seemed to be trying to suppress her emotions that were about to erupt, "You have seen... I've been wondering whether no one likes me in the world, including my father and my mother who ran away from home. It seems that everyone hates me... "

The stimulation of alcohol made Shirley involuntarily fall into painful memories. Her mother's resolute back on the day she ran away from home, no matter how she cried and shouted, her mother had never looked back...

Maybe from then on, Shirley was destined to be hated wherever she went.

Shirley's eyes, which were trying hard to open wide, were filled with tears that were not willing to fall. The reflection in Albert's eyes gradually overlapped with the figure who had bitten his lips before.

The stubbornness and toughness Shirley showed was amazing. She was not like a weak girl at all, but more pitiful and he wanted to hold her in his arms.

Albert was not a talkative person and didn't know how to comfort Shirley, but Albert believed that Shirley was not the kind of woman who needed others to comfort to live on.

It seemed that Shirley also realized that it was inappropriate for her to mention this in front of Albert. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her tone was a little tired. "Things have happened. It's useless no matter how sad I am... I owe you for what you have done for me today. I will repay you if I have the chance. "

"You don't have to repay me, but..." Albert paused for a while and looked at Shirley meaningfully. "I took what you said in the bar seriously."

"Those words?" Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then realized something. She looked very embarrassed. "Well... They asked me to say those words! I didn't mean that, and I didn't expect it to be you! "

"But my friend has heard it." Albert said calmly.

"Then... I'll find an opportunity to explain to him? "

"You have seen what kind of person he is. If you explain to him, he will laugh at me to death."

"Then what should I do?" Shirley blinked and twisted her fingers in distress.

Albert didn't want to make things difficult for Shirley. He just smiled meaningfully and said, "since you owe me a favor, I'll take it back later."

At this moment, Shirley couldn't understand what Albert meant at all. She just felt that this man's smile seemed to have a magic. It just slightly raised the corners of his mouth, but it had an irresistible magical power, which was extremely beautiful.

Shirley shook her dazed head and nodded for some reason.

"It's getting late. Let me drive you home." Albert slowly withdrew his gaze and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

At half past ten in the evening.

"It's too late. I don't want to bother you." Shirley hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. I'm on the same way."

Shirley didn't want to bother Albert anymore, but the bus was gone at this time. With the two words "on the same way" Albert said, Shirley forgot her hesitation and said, "thank you! You are so kind! "

The wind at night was a little cold, and the car slowly drove into the villa area where the house of Rui family was located.

After getting out of the car, Shirley waved goodbye to Albert. She didn't leave until Albert drove away.

In Rui family's villa.

Dan was almost mad with anger.

It was supposed to be a good wedding, but it was laughed at in public.

Dan had almost expected what the guests would say later. 'Rui family is too ostentatious this time. They just want to recruit a talented son-in-law. They have the nerve to show off their talents in front of Mr. Albert. But now they are humiliated in public.

With a livid face, Dan sat in the reception room. His wife, Haley, handed him a cup of tea and comforted him in a soft voice, "honey, don't be angry. The child's marriage is a happy event. You don't have to spoil your mood because of irrelevant people."

Lana snorted, "I think someone wants to destroy it. Dad, you can't leave it alone. "

Lana's words reminded Dan that he didn't dare to complain in front of Albert]. But what happened today was all because of Shirley.

If it weren't for Shirley, how could the Rui family make such a joke in public and even offend Albert?

There was a noise at the door. Lana rolled her eyes and pretended to be surprised, "sis, you're back?"

As soon as Shirley entered the room, she heard a furious rebuke from Dan.

"I think you are getting more and more unreasonable. You even didn't restrain yourself in your younger sister's wedding on purpose to make a fool of your family! I don't want to raise you for nothing! "

As soon as Shirley stepped into the house, the tired Shirley looked at her father's angry face. The originally calmed mood was gone, and only a burst of self-mockery was left in her heart.

Family? They had never treated Shirley as their family?

Shirley was just an "irrelevant outsider".

Haley caressed Dan's chest and said, "Shirley, you're not a kid anymore. How could you be so willful like your mother? Today, you have made Rui family embarrassed. If the news gets out, You'll be called uneducated. "

Lana pursed her lip, "mom, you don't know that my sister is jealous of my and Baldwin's marriage. Shirley has winked at Baldwin a lot at the party today. Everyone else can see it clearly. She doesn't feel ashamed at all! "

Lana snuggled up in Baldwin's arms, looking pitiful.

Dan was even more furious. "Is that true?"

Before Shirley could say anything, Lana turned to Baldwin and said in a spoiled tone, "honey, say something. Is Shirley seducing you all the time?"

Baldwin cast a quick glance at Shirley.

Baldwin had to admit that Shirley was much more beautiful than Lana. At this moment, seeing Shirley, Baldwin was still moved.

But in front of Rui family and Shirley, the difference was obvious.

Baldwin could only feel sorry for Shirley. Baldwin gritted his teeth.

"Shirley, I... It's impossible for us to be together. Don't think too much. "

Shirley's eyes widened in disbelief. She thought it was ridiculous.

"I seduced you?" Looking at the familiar and strange face in front of her, Shirley said, "Baldwin, how can you..."

"Clap!"

A crisp sound was heard.

Shirley's face was tilted to one side and there were five red fingerprints on her left cheek.

Dan stared at Shirley angrily, "even Baldwin said so. How dare you defend yourself?"

Shirley turned her head slowly. She felt that the blood in her body was getting colder and colder.

Shirley heard a sneer coming out of her throat, "seduce?" Shirley glanced at the people in front of her and said, "Lana, I still have the photos and voice of you crawling on Baldwin's bed when I was on a business trip. Tell me, who on earth seduced who?"

Baldwin's face changed.

Lana screamed. "Mom, Shirley is slinging mud at me! It's obvious that Baldwin fell in love with me first. This woman is too shameless and she chases after Baldwin! "

Instead of pretending to be gentle, Haley said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "Shirley, Baldwin has told you not to pester him. We knows clearly who pesters him."

"Shut up!" Dan was so angry, his face black, "Shirley, go back to your room!"

Dan strode out of the room and said without looking at Shirley, "you are the most shameless daughter in our family."

Shirley's face turned pale. She lowered her hands and her fingertips trembled slightly.

This was her biological father. He had always put all the blame on her, regardless of right or wrong.

Even... Dan hit Shirley because of Lana's words.

Downhearted.

Ignoring his hesitation in the company affairs, Dan quickly found a blind date for Shirley.

He was a frequent client of the Rui family in business.

In a high-end tea restaurant in the city center.

Facing the middle-aged and bald man in front of Shirley, there was a cold dead silence in her eyes.

Shirley didn't know what the man had said. Dan's eyes were full of disgust. Baldwin's smile and Haley's and Lana's insults were intertwined in Shirley's mind. Shirley felt very tired.

Suddenly, Shirley's hand was held by someone. Shirley came back to her senses and met the man's creepy smile.

"Miss Shirley seems to be absent-minded. Is there anything bothering you?"

"Nothing," Shirley replied with a forced smile. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Dunn Huang."

Shirley took a step back quietly and tried to get rid of his hand, but the man held it more tightly and his body leaned towards her.

"Why are you unhappy? Tell me and I'll help you solve it."

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me, Mr. Dunn Huang." Shirley's voice turned cold when she saw the man clinging to her like gum. "I don't think we are right for each other. There's no need to talk about it. I have something else to do. I have to go now. "

Mr. Dunn Huang chuckled, "Miss Shirley, you are so good at joking."

He put on a long face and said, "your father asked me to take care of you. How can you refuse me?"

Shirley tried her best to control her disgust and said in a calm voice, "I said it was not appropriate. Please behave yourself, Mr. Dunn Huang."

Mr. Dunn Huang's face changed in an instant. He scolded impatiently, "you ungrateful woman. Your mother promised to let you marry me as long as I signed the deal. Why are you pretending to be pure? If it weren't for your pretty face, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you! "
