Chapter 31 Can't Refuse

Unnoticed by everyone, Jiang Lily had been paying attention to their conversation since earlier. She finally learned that Aaron Liu wasn't the ordinary guy she thought he was. Quite surprising and unbelievable.

"Why to hide over there, Miss Jiang?" chirped Aaron Liu when he found a woman standing among some hanging clothes.

Jiang Lily was a little surprised by Aaron Liu's presence. She didn't realize that he was already standing quite close to her. A wry smile was etched thinly on her face. The woman felt highly embarrassed to have been caught eavesdropping on their conversation.

In slow motion and embarrassed, Jiang Lily walked over to Aaron Liu. She gazed at him soulfully.

"I'm just curious, who exactly are you meeting." Jiang Lily forced herself to remain calm. Although the embarrassment still didn't go away.

"Just an old friend. Have you finished choosing clothes? Why don't we get out of here?" Aaron Liu asked because they were uncomfortable with the presence of a friend who deliberately disappeared when his family had gone bankrupt.

"Alright!" Only this time, Jiang Lily immediately agreed to the man's request. She knew that Aaron Liu was not in a good mood.

A brief conversation between Aaron Liu and his friend earlier seemed to ruin his mood. The man looked disappointed and sad after meeting his best friend.

Aaron Liu felt that Su Minghao had underestimated him. In the past, his best friend had always praised and admired him. Everything changed completely when he became a poor man. It became clear that there was no sincerity between the two men's friendship.

They immediately got into the car before finally leaving the clothing store. Aaron Liu was silent without saying anything. He was pretty devastated by the attitude of a man he thought was his best friend.

"Are you okay, Aaron?" asked Jiang Lily with some anxiety. Although she already knew that the man beside her wasn't okay.

"I'm fine, Miss. Is there anything else you want to buy?" asked Aaron in a low voice but still heard by the woman beside him.

Jiang Lily was silent for a while, thinking of something that might make the man next to her feel much better. It's not anything special, but at least there are good intentions that she wants to do.

Not long after, Jiang Lily saw an ice cream shop at the end of the street. Suddenly she had a brilliant idea to improve the mood of her assistant.

"Just stop in front of the shop, Aaron! I'm dying for some ice cream." Jiang Lily exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Alright, Miss!" replied Aaron Liu shortly.

The beautiful woman likes ice cream. Even Mrs. Jiang deliberately bought a variety of flavours specifically for her beloved granddaughter. Since she was a little girl, Jiang Lily has loved eating various flavours of ice cream. Her mood would significantly improve once the cold food entered her mouth.

Before long, the two of them were at an ice cream shop down the street. Jiang Lily immediately ordered two servings for the two of them. She hoped that Aaron's mood could be much better.

"This is for you... I hope you feel better after eating it." Jiang Lily showed a bit of concern for the man. She was also saddened when she heard about Aaron Liu's current condition.

"There should be no need for Miss Jiang to do this. I'm just an ordinary assistant. There's no need to be so kind to me." Aaron Liu said at the kindness of a woman with him.

Jiang Lily, who had been so sincere in wanting to comfort him, turned very upset. She felt that Aaron Liu didn't accept her intentional goodwill at all.

With a sullen face and very hurried, Jiang Lily immediately finished the glass of ice cream in her hand. She wanted to go home directly and not look at the ungrateful annoying man.

"If you're done, let's just go home." Jiang Lily snapped before getting up from the chair and getting into the car. She was so angry at Aaron Liu's attitude that it was disappointing.

She regretted doing that to her assistant so sincerely. It was a situation that was as uncomfortable as infuriating for Jiang Lily. She couldn't wait to get home and not see a man who was too unpleasant.

They arrived at the Jiang Family's luxurious mansion within a few minutes of travelling. Mrs. Jiang's granddaugter walked out without carrying the few things she had bought earlier.

Jiang Lily was disgusted to be in the same car as her assistant. She thought that Aaron Liu was old-fashioned and couldn't understand her good intentions.

"Where's Aaron, Lily? Why are you going home alone?" Mrs. Jiang saw her favourite granddaughter enter the main building with an unhappy face.

"That annoying guy is still in the car. Grandma has the invitation to attend tomorrow morning. It looks like the poor guy isn't interested in coming with me." Jiang Lily was annoyed before leaving Mrs Jiang, who was still confused by her granddaughter's behaviour.

As the older woman walked out, she saw that Aaron Liu was still in the car. Mrs. Jiang didn't understand what was going on with the two of them.

Not wanting to guess, she walked to a car where Aaron Liu was still inside. Tapping lightly on the windshield, she beckoned the handsome man to come out.

"Did Grandma Jiang call me?" That question came out of Aaron Liu's mouth when he exited the car. He was still feeling disappointed about his meeting with Su Minghao.

"Lily said you don't want to attend our client's wedding tomorrow morning. What exactly is the problem? Is it because he's your ex-fiancé? If that's true, isn't it an opportunity for you to show that you're okay?" Mrs. Jiang didn't want Aaron Liu to be looked down upon by others. She felt that the young man could still do great things in the future.

Hearing that, Aaron Liu forced a smile. He couldn't refuse Mrs. Jiang's order. But he couldn't accept it either. All the disappointment and sadness seemed to have infiltrated his heart. The man was genuinely devastated by this hard-to-accept fact.
