Chapter 779 - Old Friends Reunite
"Vincent..."
At this moment, Jean faintly called out his name. This wasn't a warning, but he straightened his waist subconsciously.
Vincent glared at him, then stood up without a word, and sat beside Lilia with a sullen face.
Chris and Alex were stunned!
Is this man a masochist?!
At that moment, the man looked at Vincent's angry gaze, and shook his head helplessly.
His best friend from Parma is indeed very extraordinary.
Today, on this occasion, Jean intends to introduce them to get to know each other.
But for such an arrangement, it could be considered a personal favor for Vincent.
He came to Indonesia many times for the Widjaya family, and this friendship alone was enough for him to move forward and pave the way for him.
With more friends, his path will be wider.
"This is Chris from the Hartanto family in Surabaya, and Alex from the Vander family in Surabaya, this is ..."
Before Jean could finish speaking, Vincent cut him off. "Heir to the medical family in Parma, Parma Chief Executive of the Trans-Season Trade Company, honorary lecturer at the International Health Association, International ..."
Vincent is still busy introducing his various titles. But before he could finish speaking, Jean cut him off.
"Well, his name is Vincent!"
Vincent still had a stronger identity and couldn't help but say it!
Chris casually took a sip from his teacup. "Oh."
Alex slowly took the napkin and spread it on his lap. "It's the first time I've heard of such a talented young man as Mr. Vincent, it really makes us feel embarrassed!"
Vincent, with a smug look on his face, straightened his posture once more.
Seeing Vincent's superior expression, Chris could only sneer. "You and Glen, who has more titles?"
Vincent sneered, and just wanted to speak. But his expression immediately changed. "Do you know Glen?"
"Yeah, our relationship is... pretty good!"
"Oh." Vincent pouted his lips and answered realistically. "He usually only buys titles!"
He thought that Jean's friends were sitting here because they wanted to fight over his heart for having heard of his abilities.
Now that doesn't seem right.
Chris was overjoyed when he saw him deflate. He blinked at Alex beside him and asked again. "Is there any luxury in Parma?"
Vincent raised his eyes in disbelief, with the illusion of being belittled. "Of course!"
"Then... have you heard of the Van brand?"
Vincent looked into Chris' eyes which became more and more strange, and stretched out his denim jacket. "Do you think of Parma as a small village? Of course I've heard of it!"
Chris smiled wholeheartedly, raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "Since you've heard it, allow me to introduce to you, this man is the founder and head designer of the brand Van, Sir Alex!"
Vince almost choked on his own throat.
Either why, he started to feel his coat… a bit hot.
Alex smiled, his eyes fell on his shoulders, and he smiled. "Van is a brand that focuses on women's clothing, but the denim you're wearing is the only men's series I've designed."
Lilia sat beside him, vaguely understanding the meaning of this show.
Perhaps… the competition of status and identity between men?
It seemed that before they became acquaintances, they had to judge each other.
Thinking of this, she inadvertently averted her gaze, and when he collided with Jean's gaze, her eyes faintly flashed.
In less than five minutes, Tom and Samuel, who had not appeared for a long time, finally came.
When Samuel Hiroshi appeared, everyone at the table stood up.
This was a kind of respect and politeness.
Samuel walked slowly, and gestured after he took his seat. "Sit down, there's no need to be so polite."
Chris silently looked at him as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He longed for Samuel's daughter, of course he had to be polite!
It's hard to say whether he wanted to call the man 'Father' in the future!
Chris may be too guilty, so all of his cautious remarks were written on his face.
Samuel looked around, met Chris' brows which were flickering, and said in surprise, "What's the matter with you? Why do you look uncomfortable?"
Well, of course he's uncomfortable!
Very uncomfortable!
Chris licked his lips, clenched his fists against his laps and coughed a little. "It's okay, it's a bit cold!"
How else is he supposed to deal with his guilty conscience!
Lilia knew why Chris was behaving strangely like this. She looked at Chris and Samuel in turns, only to feel that Chris' future pursuing his 'little' wife would be a little difficult.
Samuel nodded to Chris. "Your family... If you need someone to chat with, feel free to talk anytime!"
"Yes!"
Samuel naturally noticed Vincent, but he didn't ask too many questions. Instead, he sighed in concern "Jean, I'm sorry!"
When the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on Samuel.
His gaze flickered one by one, and finally settled on the man's face. "I know that you want to start a good relationship with me again, and I am very grateful for this invitation remembering what happened with Sasha last time."
Jean nodded. "Brother, you are too serious!"
Samuel nodded attentively. "Since everyone is here, let's serve the food."
Chris gently pressed the call bell on the table, and Tom, who was sitting next to Chris, turned his head and asked, "Brother, I heard that you recently went abroad?"
"Yeah, I went to look at my little girl!" Right after Samuel said, Chris' hands shook and the back of his hand got spilled on the tea.
Alex caught this scene, and stealthily took the teapot to pour him some more tea, blocking his blunder.
Chris nodded at him gratefully, and held back his shock from jumping out of his chest.
Tom was always insensitive in front of his brothers. He shook his napkin and continued to say, "Merry has been out of the country for a long time, she should get used to it!"
"Huh!" Samuel snorted coldly. "That little brat, she's too carefree. I went to a company in America to check on business and my route happened to be past her school, so I wanted to take a look."
"She's always been a homebody since she was little, I'm afraid that if she lives alone, she'll have a lot of trouble. But it seems that letting her study abroad actually makes her have fun all the time. That time, I went to his school and waited for two days but didn't see her at all!"
Chris was surprised. Merry texted him every day to show that she was studying hard, and even sent him screenshots of her class schedule.
Why not at school?
"Where did she go?" Chris sounded worried, he asked without thinking.
Samuel shook his head and sighed. "She said he went skiing in Switzerland with a friend. She's not afraid of avalanches!"
Everyone. "..."
Chris forgot to cover up, frowning very tightly. "Did she say when she would be back?"
"I sent people to find her, but this kid won't go home. I had to send guards to follow her in order to protect her abroad. She really can't think of her own safety, geez....!"
