how i bought the whole world

Tiffany’s birthday was not organized into a banquet. There was only a long table where he sat with several colleagues, friends and students. Tiffany’s side was relatively simple, except for me, Brandon and Chris, He was alone with his other granddaughter, Angela, who lives in New York.

Angela is the one I am least familiar with among all Tiffany’s grandchildren. The reason is that she has always been very cold towards me, disliked me, and even disliked me a little. After I noticed her dislike, my response attitude was similar—— ——If others show indifference or neglect to me, of course I will not put down my figure to please him, especially Angela has a weird and surly personality, and there is no special place to befriend, even Chris is not very good as a brother. I like his cousin, so why should I bother to improve my relationship with her.

But at dinner, Angela changed her usual style of ignoring us and chose to sit next to us. This kind of thing would never have happened before. I was surprised but also a little wary. What did Angela want to do?Sure enough, we found out that Angela was actually ignoring me and Chris, she was just trying to strike up a conversation with Brandon.She seemed to have a special crush on Brandon's type of man, and she not only showed great hospitality during the meal, but also earnestly suggested that he come to New York more often.

Out of politeness, Brandon was not too indifferent to a lady's proactive conversation, so Angela kept giggling all night, like a peacock in heat, teasing Bud with all kinds of meaningful words. Langdon, this made me jealous, Chris pushed me with his arm, "I see another you, William."

I want to say, "Shut up Chris, I hate you."

Angela's nose is almost on Brandon's face, I'm not as thick-skinned as she is.While thinking bitterly, I bit the steak hard with my teeth. It didn't feel like I was enjoying food, but like chewing the meat of my enemy.

In fact, at this moment, I really want to drive Angela away and declare Brandon to the others present, but remembering what Brandon said to me before leaving, I have to bear it.

At this time, Brandon suddenly grabbed my hand from under the tablecloth as if nothing had happened, and I held it in the palm of my hand.On the surface, he seemed to be listening attentively to Angela's speech, but in fact, he kept ticking my palm with his little finger, which seemed to be flirting and comforting.

I understand what he meant.

Angela was still talking, with a seductive smile on her face, she must not have noticed our private actions.But even with Brandon's comfort, I was not very happy, because Angela is very beautiful, she has dark curly hair, deep and delicate facial features, a bit like Evelyn, of course her expression, but this kind of It doesn't hurt to lose points; moreover, her figure is slender and well-proportioned, which is very in line with the aesthetics of Westerners. Sitting together, apart from the a little stiff atmosphere on the bright side, she looks like a pair of golden boys and girls who get along well.

I heard Evelyn's laughter at the table, "It seems that Angela likes Brandon very much, I really hope she can make some decent friends, it will make her a better person, you see Boo How nice Langdon and William are, I wish they could come over more often."

The wives all laughed.

They like to see the scenes of the juniors getting along in harmony, but in my eyes, Angela's hospitality is abhorrent no matter how you look at it, including her hypocritical smile, black eye circles, and heavy nail polish, which make me very uncomfortable. Even though Brandon has been holding my hand comfortingly now, I couldn't help it anymore, raised my head and interjected, "Angela, can you stop estrus and stop harassing my secretary?"

Angela turned her head when she heard this.

She looked at me first, and then deliberately pretended that she had just met me. "Oh, William," she covered her mouth with her hand in surprise, "You are still here, I am sorry I didn't see you just now, I thought you were early gone."

I pouted.

Angela paused, then returned her gaze to Brandon, "It turns out that this Mr. Winston is your secretary, it's strange, there are normal men over there, I thought you were all sycophants. "

As in the past, Angela saw that I could never say a single good word in the three sentences. In the past, I avoided and chose not to conflict with her, but today was different. I sneered, "What do you mean, what do you mean 'all are flatterers '?"

"I really have no self-knowledge, what else would you do besides pleasing my grandfather all day long?" She laughed strangely, "Isn't it the same when you start a company, you need to try your best to please other people in order to get a little pitiful Order? But then again, since you have gone to Boston, why do you still come to our house all the time, lacking fatherly love?"

I was annoyed, "Today is Tiffany's birthday."

"Yes, I know, my grandfather's birthday, but it's none of your business." She said the same emphatically, putting the emphasis on 'mine'.

"Angela." Chris gave his cousin a warning look. "Your words make me blush for you. You really should go to a girls' school to learn etiquette all over again."

It's a pity that Chris' words didn't make Angela feel much introspection, but instead aggravated her rebellious psychology. Angela shrugged, gave up attacking me, and turned to aiming at Chris.

"Chris, you actually blamed me for an outsider, oh, I almost forgot, of course you are on William's side, you are his dog now."

This is too much.Even Chris, who has a milder personality, couldn't accept it. He raised an eyebrow and showed an angry expression on his face. I quickly said, "Chris, calm down, don't argue with your sister."

"Calm down?" Chris repeated, then suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table and splashed water on her face.

"Ah!!!" Angela let out an ugly scream, and stood up from the stool suddenly. The tablecloth was pulled by her, and a plate fell and smashed to pieces, making a loud noise.

Brandon quickly avoided the splashing juice on the plate, but I reacted faster and stood up and pulled him behind me. I didn't want Angela to do anything that would hurt others after she became hysterical—she Often loses his temper like this.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on us. Tiffany was talking to his old friend, but now he also looked over, "What's going on?" He asked displeased.

The red wine flowed down Angela's face. She ignored Tiffany's question and just lowered her head to check her clothes. The dripping water from her hair stained her heavy makeup. The black eyeliner dripped down and turned into a long and thin black line, which looked funny and ridiculous. When she found that her clothes could not be repaired, she turned her head and looked at us fiercely, "Chris, William, you are crazy up!

I pretended not to hear her, "Angela, you are too careless." I reached out and handed me the handkerchief, "Be careful when you drink next time, don't do acrobatics anymore, this is not suitable for you, a girl .”

"William is right." Chris also interjected, "You are not a child, it is the bartender's job to be handsome with a wine glass, not yours, we don't need you to mix us any cocktails, go change your clothes , to show the guests how impolite it is."

"Nonsense, it's obviously you—" she screamed.

It's a pity that the woman's anger didn't change anything. She was still standing there in embarrassment, frowning at us, but Tiffany glanced at us, but he didn't say anything, "Go and change clothes, Angela .” He said lightly, and then he turned around and talked with his friend with a smile.

It seems that even Tiffany knows the virtues of his granddaughter.

Angela was very angry, but her anger couldn't solve anything, and finally he pushed my hand still in mid-air and rushed upstairs.After seeing her leave, I unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and looked back at Brandon, "Brandon, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Brandon said...

"Stay away from her in the future." I said super annoyed, then turned back to Chris to protest, "Please, say hello next time you do this."

Chris had a smile on his face, "You can't blame me, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

I let go of Brandon's hand and sat back on my seat, "Okay, I understand you, I also want to teach Angela a lesson, let her learn how to be a lady, but you know, I never hit women, so I have to Let her continue to be so arrogant."

Only Brandon was a little worried, "But will this make Mr. Tiffany angry, after all, this is his birthday party."

I looked at him in surprise, feeling a little sour in my heart. Brandon actually cared so much about Tiffany, and Tiffany captured him even though they only spent one day together.Remember how long it took me to get Brandon to treat me differently.

"It's okay, Tiffany won't mind, Angela has always been crazy like this, she has a problem with it since she was a child." Chris said, pointing to his head, "I guess she must have been hit by a rock when she was a child, She behaves so abnormally. She lives so close to Tiffany, but she won't come back except for money, so you don't need to have any sympathy for her."

"That's right." I nodded in agreement, and then asked again, "What is she doing here again? I don't believe she's here to celebrate Tiffany's birthday. Have you ever seen her come here sincerely?"

Sometimes Angela won’t even attend Tiffany’s family gatherings on festivals like Christmas and Easter, let alone Tiffany’s birthday. It’s hard for me to believe that she really remembers what day it is. It's more of a coincidence here.

"You guessed it, William, she didn't even prepare a gift, she just came back to ask for money to buy pills, Angela wanted to take the money and leave, but Evelyn disagreed, she insisted that she stay for dinner. "

"Oh my God." Brandon exclaimed in a low voice, "Is she a drug addict?"

Chris shrugged, "Are you surprised? Brandon, it's strange to say that Jonathan's family education is so strict, but there is someone like Angela, just like a herd of horses, there are always one or two A black sheep, of course, I say this not to disregard Angela's reputation, but Angela is too much, she not only asks for money from her own family, but also finds ways to borrow money from other people, these people are usually brought by us A friend who came back or a student of Tiffany, anyway, she has no face, and likes to borrow and cheat with various reasons... Brandon, I am worried that she approached you for money-William gave her money once , but after he found out the truth, he refused to give Angela any more money, and as you saw today, she treated him very badly. It's a shame on the entire Jonathan family, because we have such One cannot avoid having such a relative, we are not the old-fashioned ones who think that girls should wear chastity rings and wait to get married, and are not allowed to have any entertainment interactions, but Angela should really reflect on her behavior."

I also suddenly remembered this incident. If Chris hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that Angela still has such a problem, and now I can't let her have any contact with Brandon.

"Brandon," I said suddenly, "I'll switch places with you, and you'll be next to Chris."

Brandon used to sit on my left, and when Angela came, he sat directly next to him. After I switched places with him, he would sit between me and Chris. As long as Chris was there, Angela I dare not continue to make up things about Brandon, and I don't have to worry about Angela finding a chance to approach him again.

Brandon obediently changed places with me. He always respected my opinions on small things, and he was not interested in Angela. But Angela came back and snorted when she saw me sitting beside her. He glanced at Brandon, then at himself, and finally ate in silence.

In the evening, the three of us stayed at Tiffany's house. In the dead of night, I sneaked out of my room and knocked on Brandon's door.

"William?" Brandon opened the door with an expression as if he knew you would come, and he stepped sideways to make way, "Come in."
