Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 224 Being Targeted

"Of course, we do. After dealing with this woman, there will be plenty of benefits for Mr. Xiao." "Let's go, let's get in the car." The several men got into two cars and followed behind Nore's car. Nore drove all the way to Lubi family and did not notice that there was someone following behind. "Young Master, Miss Jones." Sean went to the door to welcome the two of them in. It was the first time that Lyra was so valued after the Jones family went bankrupt. She had been quietly following Nore. On the way to the Lubi family, all the servants were respectful to her. "Miss Jones, please sit." Sean's attitude also seemed to have taken a 180-degree turn. "Lyra, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to this." Lucy came out with a smile, followed by several rich ladies. When they saw that Lyra was actually the Lubi family's guest, their expressions became somewhat erratic.

"Mrs. Lubi, is she the guest you've invited today?". "What's wrong, Mrs. Liu? Do you have any objections? This is the girl my son has taken a fancy to. Sooner or later, she will marry into our Lubi family. In the future, don't talk nonsense in front of me. I don't like to hear it." "Then, congratulations Mr. Lubi. We still have something to do, so we are leaving

now."

The few of them looked at each other and did not dare to argue with Lucy. They left with dry smiles. "Don't take it to heart. They are all my friends. They don't know what kind of person you are." "It's all right." Lyra twitched the corners of her lips. If she cared about the opinions of these people, she would have long been depressed Compared to this, what she was more concerned about was the attitude of Lucy and the Lubi family. They seemed to have been too enthusiastic about her.

Was it her illusion? "Nore, your father is still busy in the study. Go and call him to eat. You guys, go to the kitchen and help," Lucy said with a dignified look to the few servants.

"Yes, Madam." This kind of treatment made Lyra feel as if she was standing in the clouds. "In the future, just treat this place like your own home. Don't feel pressured. Even if you refuse Nore, I won't blame you. To tell you the truth, ever since Nore's accident, I have understood too many people's feelings. I can tell that you are a good girl." Lyra lowered her gaze and did not say a word. Lucy was still rambling on and on, while Hanming Lubi and Nore went downstairs together. "Alright, stop talking. You scared her." Hanming had a smile on his face and deep thoughts. The whole family took very good care of Lyra at the dinner table. They almost treated her like a future daughter-in-law. This feeling made Lyra feel very unreal. After all, with the Lubi family's strength, Hanming did not need to curry favor with her like this. "Lyra, no, I should call you Ms. Jones now, right?" What should come still came. Lyra put down the knife and fork in her hand, smiled, and raised her head. "Mr. Lubi, you don't have to be so polite." Nore, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly frowned but was held down by Lucy. "Your father wants to know her more. Don't cut in." Nore's eyes darkened and he looked at Lyra. Lyra shook her head lightly as if she had seen through his thoughts. Only then did Nore continue to focus on eating.

"I also heard a few old friends mention that you wanted to revitalize the Jones Group. Moreover, you even got the Barnwell group's cooperation case. It's really amazing." "Mr. Lubi, if you have something to say just say it. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease eating this meal." Lyra liked to make things clear. Because of her relationship with Nore, she didn't want to make her relationship with the Lubi family too stiff.

"Okay. Today, I will show my sincerity here. My son has been pursuing you for a long time. Having considered all kinds of reasons, I have not given him permission yet. Today, I promise you that as long as you two are happy, his mother and I will definitely support you." Nore's eyes lit up with joy. "Thank you, Dad!"

Lyra sat in the same place and did not say a word.

She knew that Hanming still had something to say. Hanming smiled at Lyra, "I also know that it is not so easy for the Jones Group to make a comeback. Since you are close to each other, our Lubi family will not ignore the plight of the Jones Group. If you need investment or other help in the cooperation case with the Barnwell group, you can come to the company to replace me at any time."

This...

He had even helped Lyra pave a smooth road. It was as if as long as she nodded, the entire Lubi family and the Lubi group would be hers.

But in fact, it was far from that simple. Lyra blinked, "Mr. Lubi, the cooperation between the Jones Group and the Barnwell group has come to a consensus. There should be no need for any help. Also, the matter between me and Nore is not what you think." "Lyra... My dad just wants to help you," Nore said anxiously. "The Jones Group doesn't dare to ask for anyone's help right now. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, the company will be swallowed up."

Hank and the Barnwell group were the best examples in the past.

Lyra wouldn't be fooled twice. Hanming's expression had already changed after she said the few casual words.

He had been in the business world for a long time and had seen many arrogant young people, but it was rare to see someone like Lyra who had no strength but was stubborn to the end.

On her body, Hanming saw a very similar aura to someone. That person was Hank! At such a young age, he already had the economic lifeline of the entire city. Hank had the ability to make nothing of anyone, but the Jones family had already fallen. Why did Lyra not give him face? The Lubi family would have already lost all face by marrying such a daughter-in-law. Yet, she refused to hand over even a little benefit. She even repeatedly disregarded Nore's face. There was no longer any smile on Hanming's face, "Ms. Jones is really a person who is not willing to give in at all."

"It's not that I don't want to give in, but I don't have any bargaining chips to give in. Mr. Lubi, thank you for today's hospitality, but I think I don't deserve to eat Lubi family's

dinner now." Lyra said, stood up, and walked out. No one dared to stop her. "Drake was stubborn enough, and the daughter he taught is even more so!"

Hanming had lost face because of Lyra, so he was so angry that he mentioned her father's name.

Lyra stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around and stared at Hanming's face. Nore was too familiar with her expression and hurried over. "Lyra, my father only made a suggestion. He doesn't want to swallow the Jones Group." Hanming snorted, "A company that has long been reduced to a waste collection station is worth my attention? If not for Hank's attitude, I wouldn't have invited you to dinner at all.”
