Chapter 649 Birthday Invitation
When Cheng Ling was detained by customs at San Francisco International Airport in California, Jiang Qilan was receiving Amos's personal assistant at his manor.
As soon as he learned that Cheng Ling was detained, Amos's assistant came to the door.
This made Jiang Qilan guess the purpose of the other party's visit.
After sitting down in the reception room, the assistant put his briefcase on his legs and said respectfully:
"Hello, Mr. Fang, I am here on behalf of the Governor of California, Mr. Amos."
"Mr. Amos originally wanted to come in person, but he had some health problems, so he had to send me-"
"Next Tuesday is Mr. Amos' birthday. He held a private banquet at his residence and specially invited you to go."
After speaking, the assistant looked up at the man sitting in the high-backed leather chair opposite.
This handsome oriental man crossed his long legs, crossed his hands on his legs, and leaned his back on the high-backed chair. The whole person was lazy and relaxed, with a faint smile on his face.
But the assistant felt that the other party didn't seem very happy.
Was he angry because Amos didn't come in person?
Everyone knows that the governor is very busy - unless it is a very important person, the governor will come in person to deliver the invitation.
The invitations of other people are delivered by the governor's assistant.
As for the governor's inability to deliver it in person, so he sent his assistant to deliver it - this is an excuse that everyone knows.
Finally, Jiang Qilan raised his eyelids and looked at the assistant sitting opposite him.
"Hmm."
He simply uttered a single syllable to show that he understood.
The assistant immediately opened the briefcase on his lap, took out a gold-plated invitation from it, and handed it over with both hands -
Jiang Qilan did not take it, but tilted his head.
The butler next to him immediately stepped forward, took it with both hands, facing Jiang Qilan, and placed it on the table in front of him.
Jiang Qilan glanced at it.
"... Birthday party, location... Please bring your companions with you, and write your companions' names on the invitation..."
Companions?
The assistant waited until Jiang Qilan's eyes left the invitation on the table before continuing: "This banquet is very private, and all the guests are Mr. Amos's relatives and friends. Mr. Amos is looking forward to your presence... I wonder if you can spare the time to attend?"
Jiang Qilan finally spoke: "I will think about it carefully."
The assistant swallowed saliva in embarrassment: "Mr. Fang, I will report to Mr. Amos when I go back - I sincerely ask you to give an accurate reply, although I know this request is unreasonable."
"Go back and tell Amos that I will go." Jiang Qilan said.
The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and leaned forward slightly: "In addition, I need to know if you can bring your companions with you."
Jiang Qilan looked at the assistant and said nothing.
Could it be that Amos didn't know that Cheng Ling had returned?
He had previously suspected that the person who detained Cheng Ling at the customs was Amos.
But if it wasn't Amos, who else could it be?
Jiang Qilan was very worried about Cheng Ling.
But he couldn't do anything now.
The relationship between him and Cheng Ling was just a relationship of lovers who were attracted to each other, and it was just a naked physical transaction between the two of them.
If he showed that he cared about Cheng Ling very much, then Cheng Ling would become his constraint and weakness.
You know, it is understandable that a man of Fang Wenjian's status would have a strong possessive desire for his woman.
But showing excessive concern for a bed partner who had slept with him several times - that was very abnormal.
