Chapter 116 Looking After Yourself
“Oh?” Levi looked at Ruby with interest.
But Ruby clearly had no intention of explaining, yawned, and pushed Levi to the car parked outside.
The driver had already come to help Levi get into the car, Ruby looked at him with thinking. Waiting for people to get into the car, she followed in before asking Lennon, “Now that Lennon is already like this, there seems to be no point in you continuing to pretend to be a cripple, why do you still want to pretend?”
“You think Lennon is really hopeless?” Lennon didn’t answer Ruby’s question, he just looked at her with a smirk and asked.
Ruby thought carefully with one hand on her chin.
Lennon had already been wasted by her, there could not be a chance for him to rise again, unless, of course, Lennon’s father had other illegitimate sons outside and was capable and had the ability to inherit the Finn family.
“I don’t know.” Ruby thought about it for a moment, and eventually shrugged, not wanting to waste any more time thinking about it.
Looking at her like this, the corner of Levi’s lips hooked, even he himself didn’t realize that he seemed to be more and more relaxed when facing this Ruby nowadays, and every time he talked to her, he always couldn’t help but smile.
The Harold family’s things didn’t take too much time, and when they came out of the Harold family, Ruby went back to the old mansion with Levi.
Today was the day Isabella hosted a banquet at her home, and all the people from the Finn family came, and there was a lot of hustle and bustle. Before they entered the door, they heard the sounds of talking and laughing in the house.
When they saw Ruby and Levi enter, many people’s faces showed a playful smile, especially when their eyes lingered on Levi’s legs.
“Levi, why are you so late?” Ruby pushed Levi into the door, the others directly ignored her, and someone among them deliberately spoke in a snide manner, with gloating within their tone.
Ruby looked at the man who spoke, looking at the age of early forties, with a mean face and angled upward eyes.
She glanced at him and withdrew her gaze. In front of so many people, she had to maintain her innocent persona.
Levi didn’t reply, he just looked at Isabella who was sitting in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by people, and greeted her with an indifferent attitude, “Grandma.”
Isabella didn’t look nice, and when she heard Levi greeting, she didn’t pay any attention to it, only whispering something to the person next to her.
It was obvious that she was deliberately cold-shouldering Levi.
“Levi, grandma is old and has deaf ears, you need to speak louder to her. She didn’t even hear you with this low voice.” Ruby looked at that attitude of Isabella and was upset.
It was obviously Isabella who called them to come back, and then she gave cold shoulders to them when they came back?
When she saw Isabella, Ruby subconsciously thought of the one of the Harold family, back when that one was still around, she was simply the same as Isabella.
Ruby’s voice was not small, enough for everyone in the entire living room to hear clearly.
Isabella’s face sank, and her gaze was unkind as she looked at Ruby.
Levi, however, seriously nodded his head and seriously replied, “Yes, Ruby, you are right.”
Isabella almost didn’t choke to death on that sentence.
She blackened her face, and it was no good to continue pretending not to see Levi, casually waved her hand and sent the two away, “You are back. Find yourself a place to wait for a while, there are still guests who haven’t arrived, and it is not yet time to dinner.”
“Okay.” Levi responded indifferently, and Ruby pushed him to find a quiet corner to sit down.
There were really quite a few people coming from the Finn family today, and Ruby hadn’t seen many of them before, so it looked like something really big was going to happen today.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“What’s the big deal with your Finn family today? Your grandmother’s birthday?” Ruby watched as one by one people entered the door, some carrying exquisite gift boxes in their hands, and couldn’t help but ask Levi.
With this situation, someone would deliberately humiliate her and Levi in a while.
“I don’t know.” Levi answered carelessly, as if it was everything about the Finn family that had nothing to do with him.
Ruby looked at him with sympathy, Levi’s position in the Finn family seemed that it was not much better than her position in the Harold family, and may even be worse. Isabella’s attitude was not like this because Levi was crippled.
And she didn’t say anything else.
Time passed until after 5pm, when Isabella finally got up and walked to the front door.
A group of people clattered behind them, neatly surrounding the doorway, and there was a lot of commotion, as if some big shot was coming.
“Your Finn family wouldn’t be a side branch under some big family, right? There’s still an original family in the capital?” Ruby came up to Levi’s ear, watching that movement at the door and asking in a whisper.
Levi felt the faint scent of her body lingering between his nostrils, exhaling hot air that puffed against his ears and tickled slightly, making him subconsciously want to avoid it, yet surprisingly not resist such an intimate move.
Without having time to think about what this was all about, the surprised voice of Isabella came from the doorway, “Mr. Baxter, what a pleasure to welcome you.”
Ruby heard the voice and couldn’t help but look towards the door, while in her heart she was also surprised, surnamed Baxter?
“This is?” Lucas Baxter looked at the group of men and women in front of him in dismay, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Mr. Baxter, we have prepared a family banquet, I hope you will enjoy it, please come in, please come in.” Isabella smiled pleasantly, her attitude was completely different from the one she had just given to Levi and Ruby. She side-stepped and gave way to allow Lucas to enter.
Lucas hesitated for a moment, but still lifted his foot and entered the door.
Isabella hurriedly accompanied him, while there was also a young junior of the Finn family following behind, desperately winking at Lucas, obviously, wanting to get on with Lucas.
Lucas ignored them and swept his gaze around the Finn family’s people, then he was a little disappointed.
There was no one he was looking for.
“Butler, inform the kitchen that it’s time to start the banquet.” Isabella smilingly shouted to the butler at the side, who hurriedly went to work.
The group walked to the dining room, where several tables were set up today because of the family feast.
Ruby hadn’t eaten at noon and was now long hungry, so she pushed Levi and approached the dining room slowly.
“Well, there’s no room for you two, why did you just come over here?” Watching Ruby and Levi pass, someone suddenly shouted in a shady voice.
Ruby glanced at the voice, ignored it, and pushed Levi over to the main table.
Levi was the eldest son and grandson of the Finn family, even if he was crippled, it did not change the fact.
Since she was now his wife, she naturally couldn’t let anyone humiliate her.
