Chapter 197 Irrelevant Person
"Grandpa!" Teresa grinned as she saw Christopher. She rushed to him and said to him fawningly.
Although Xiao family had a deep friendship with An family, Christopher was not very close to Teresa. He squinted his eyes and looked at Teresa up and down silently. Then he showed a kind smile and said, "An family's little girl is getting more and more beautiful. If you think carefully, we haven't seen each other for many years? She was only this little when I first saw her!" Christopher gestured to the height of Teresa as a child, and everyone smiled as well.
Adam echoed, "yes, you are right. At that time, Teresa must have liked Victor a lot. She followed Victor everywhere!"
Teresa felt a little embarrassed as if she was exposed by her father. She bowed her head and tugged at Adam's sleeve to stop him. She said, "father, please don't say that..."
"Have a look. Teresa was embarrassed!" Connie also got excited.
Grace waved at Teresa and let her stand in front of her. She said, "we haven't seen each other for only a short time. You are more beautiful. By the way, how was your internship in the YS Group? You can ask Victor to teach you if you don't know how to do!"
Teresa nodded and sat next to Grace. She said obediently, "Victor works very hard, so I don't dare to bring him too much trouble..."
When Grace heard what Teresa said, she hurriedly said, "Teresa, don't say that! You are not an outsider. If you can't do something, you can ask Victor to teach you. It's okay!" With that, Grace grabbed Teresa's hand, attempting to have an intimate interaction with Teresa.
During this period of time, Connie was busy contacting with Miranda, but on the other hand, she seemed to be able to ignore Grace. Grace and Connie had known each other for more than twenty years, and Grace had never been treated that way. Then Grace thought it over carefully and believed that it was because of Victor that Connie distanced her. If it was the case, they would lose An family's support, which was not worth it. Grace decided to make good use of this birthday party to make clear her stand and make Connie's side with her!
"Aunt Grace, I know you love me the most!" Teresa said sweetly. Teresa had always wanted to be with Victor that she loved, so Grace's being close to Teresa made Teresa very comfortable.
After chatting away for a while, Teresa felt that something was wrong. She looked around and didn't see Victor. Then she asked Grace, "aunt Grace, hasn't Victor come yet?"
Zed, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "there is something urgent in Victor's company. He will be there later."
As soon as Teresa arrived at the banquet hall, Zed began to look at her. On the other hand, Teresa kept dodging eye contact with Zed. She even deliberately spoke to the others and ignored him. Zed was cau
heard what Connie said. Teresa took over the wet tissue and wiped her white hands repeatedly, but the flames of anger in her heart couldn't be extinguished.
Victor lowered his voice and said to Karl and Grace, "Sophia is not an irrelevant person." He paused, glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on his grandfather, and solemnly announced, "grandpa, this is my girlfriend, Sophia."
As soon as Victor finished his words, all sorts of sounds came from the banquet hall, including the reproach of Karl and Grace, the persuasion of Connie on the surface, and the voice of Teresa who was about to cry out of anxiety... While Terence and Miranda looked leisurely and carefree. Perhaps that was what they wanted to see.
Sophia greeted Karl and Grace politely, but they ignored her. As soon as she entered the banquet hall, Sophia couldn't sit down without anyone's permission. She was a little at a loss, with a forced smile on her face. But Victor held her hand quietly and she felt the warmth of it. All the grievance in her heart was swept away by Victor. Sophia then gave a grateful smile to Victor.
Sophia wore a light colored dress today. Her dark brown and thick long hair hung down on her shoulder, making her look dignified and graceful.
She had heard many sentences from Xiao family's members, but she didn't take them to heart. In fact, when Victor said that he would take her to his grandfather's birthday party, Sophia had been prepared for it. But if she wanted to marry Victor, she must get the recognition of Xiao family. Now, her only hope was on Victor's grandpa. Even though she was unwelcome here, she mustered her courage to enter.
Sophia put the paper bag in front of Christopher and said in a soft voice, "grandpa, I heard that you are quite interested in tea. This is the tea I just picked in the tea garden today and made by myself. I hope you can accept my gift."
Although Xiao family had a deep friendship with An family, Christopher was not very close to Teresa. He squinted his eyes and looked at Teresa up and down silently.
