In fact, Hao Ren did not need Hessiana to say it. He could already guess that Hessiana had snuck over. If Vivian knew that Hessiana was planning to surprise her, she would have asked Hao Ren to send her to Mars two weeks in advance. Looking at the strange look on Hessiana's face, Hao Ren could not help but say, "I'm not trying to mess things up, but there is something wrong with the way you get along with Vivian. Have you ever wondered why Vivian gets along with everyone but you?"
Hessiana looked up at Hao Ren with an unfriendly look. "I don't need you to educate me."
Hao Ren spread out his hand. "I'm not educating you. I'm just giving you a reminder. And to be honest, I also want you to get along with Vivian. After all, you two have a special relationship, right? "
Hessiana cast a questioning look at Hao Ren. "Really?"
"Really," Hao Ren nodded seriously. "I don't understand. Why do you have such a problem with me?"
Hessiana flicked her hair. "How can I not be anxious when an unknown man is so close to Lady Vivian? I've never been so close to her!"
Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You are jealous, and you are being unreasonable."
Turcan and Kassandra watched them chatting and bickering in silence. After a long while, Turcan lowered his voice and whispered in Kassandra's ear, "There's a Chinese saying to describe this situation. It's called 'when it rains, the mother marries.' That's what Mistress is feeling now."
Kassandra nodded. "That makes sense. But the mistress seems to have heard it. She is staring at you."
"Turcan!" Hessiana's angry scream pierced the air, and the air within a two-meter radius shook. Everyone's ears went numb, and they felt a burst of tinnitus. Even the glasses on the table shattered. Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed at the cups on the table. "You have to pay for this. This is a small business. A cup costs 2.5 yuan."
Hessiana slammed the table and pointed at the broken glass on the table. She glared at Duncan and said, "Eat it!"
Turcan finally couldn't maintain the image of a blonde young master. His face turned green. "Eating glass again?"
After a while, Nangong Wuyue came over with a tray. She asked curiously, "Hey, where are the cups on the table?"
Hessiana put ten yuan on the table with a straight face and pointed at Duncan. "This bumpkin has never seen the market. I'll buy you four cups for my collection."
Duncan lay on the table, half-dead, and slowly nodded. "Mistress … you're right."
Wuyue: "?"
"Why are we wasting time here?" Hessiana poked at the food on her plate with her chopsticks and looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. "Can't we just go straight to your house and meet Lady Vivian? Are you up to something? "
"What can I be up to?" Hao Ren turned his head to look at the sky outside. He estimated that Vivian and Lily would have cleaned up the room after the fight. "She was busy when I went out. I don't know if she's done now. Let's eat first. It's rare for us to come here. Let's taste the food first. "
They ate and drank to their heart's content. Except for Turcan, Hessiana and Kassandra spoke highly of Ayesha's cooking. Turcan, on the other hand, could not taste what he was eating because he had a stomach ache. Then, Hao Ren brought the three guests home to surprise Vivian. He sighed when he saw the luxury car that Hessiana came in. "You're living a better life than Vivian."
"Nonsense. I'm the patriarch of a family after all. Which otherworldling family that survives these days doesn't have some wealth?" Hessiana looked up proudly. "So I've asked Lady Vivian to stay with me several times, but she just won't let me. I can afford to keep her."
"She's afraid that she'll bankrupt you. You should be glad that she cares about you." Hao Ren pursed his lips. If he did not have divinity backing him, he would not be able to afford Vivian, the ultimate weapon of destruction. "By the way, I didn't expect you to come out of the Athens' sanctuary. Did you encounter any demon hunters along the way? Did I get followed this time? "
Hessiana squinted at him. "Who do you think I am? Or do you think that our family living in the sanctuary is the kind of wretched wretches who live in the gutter all day long, fearing that they will be wiped out? Get in! "
It was the first time in his life that Hao Ren sat in such a high-end car. He estimated that this car could be exchanged for any property in the Southern Suburbs, including the old shopping mall that was known as the landmark of the city. Sitting in the passenger seat, Hao Ren curiously studied the interior of the car and the gadgets next to the seat. The seat was too narrow, and there was no panel on the armrest that could respond to the user's mind. There was no holographic projection in front of the seat, and the space in the car was not big enough. More importantly, there was no place to inlay bricks on the panel of the driver's seat. In short, it was very inconvenient.
He subconsciously compared the captain's seat of the Petrachelys with this place.
Hessiana did not notice what Hao Ren was doing. Her mind was now filled with the word "Vivian". When she thought that this would be her first visit to Vivian's place in hundreds of years, she even felt that there was a heart beating in her chest — if she really had such an organ.
It was not a long street, and soon they arrived at the front of the Hao Family's mansion. Hao Ren pointed to an old building outside. "There, this is it."
Hessiana opened the door and got out of the car. She looked up at the mottled wall of the two-story building and the old houses around it. No one knew what she was thinking. She could only be heard sighing softly. "Lady Vivian lives in this place."
Hao Ren came to the door and listened to the movement inside. After making sure that everything was calm, he waved Hessiana over. "Come here. Vivian should be happy to see you."
Hessiana walked closer and muttered, "You don't have to comfort me."
Hao Ren smiled and went forward to open the door. Before he could put the key in, the door opened on its own. Vivian was standing at the door. "What took you so long … Huh?!"
Hessiana walked out from behind Hao Ren and greeted Vivian. "Lady Vivian, I'm here to play with you!"
Vivian was stunned for a moment, and then she slammed the door shut.
After a while, the door opened again, and Vivian reappeared at the door, still stunned.
Before she closed the door for the second time, Hao Ren reached out and stopped her. "Don't mess around. There's no problem with the way you opened it. This lady is from the Athens' sanctuary. She found the clue of the magic book, and she's here to take credit for it."
Hessiana could not hold back anymore. She pushed Hao Ren aside and pounced on Vivian. "Lady Vivian, I've missed you so much!"
Without saying a word, Vivian exploded into a swarm of bats and scattered like smoke. In the blink of an eye, all of them had disappeared into the corners of the house. The way they hid was exactly the same as the time in Athens.
Hessiana rushed into the house in a fluster and almost fell flat on her face. She jumped up and chased after the last few bats in the air. "Lady Vivian, don't run! Don't run! I've missed you so much! Come, let me hug you. Just a hug … "
When Hao Ren saw this, he rubbed his forehead. The "mother and daughter" were a match made in heaven. They probably could not change their way of getting along any time soon.
He let Duncan and Kassandra into the house and looked around. Even though he could not see her, he knew that Vivian must be hiding in various places in the living room, watching anxiously for any sign of movement outside. He glanced at Hessiana, who was jumping up and down next to him. He had no choice but to ask Vivian to come out. "Come out, don't hide. You know Hessiana's temper. She won't stop until you come out."
With a flapping sound, a swarm of bats flew out from every corner of the living room and gathered into a human shape in the middle of the living room. Vivian put her hands on her hips and looked at Hessiana helplessly. "You … don't move! Promise me you'll talk nicely, or else I'll run again! "
She was really afraid of this problem child.
