Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Adding Trouble

“But there are still a few days left until the first day of the New Year.” Mrs. Lopez said, “Are we just going to do nothing during these days?”

“In these few days, we don’t know how Adrian Zhekova will deal with us. We don’t know how much our family will lose.” Mrs. Lopez frowned, and spoke bitterly.

“I think we should go to big sister’s place.” Richard Lopez said.

“See if we can ask the Kirk Family for help.” Richard Lopez continued.

Isn’t this the time to rely on relatives and help each other out?

Otherwise, what’s the point of intermarriage between different families?

Apart from enhancing prestige and forming powerful alliances, it’s also to help each other during difficult times.

Difficulties are temporary.

For families with a deep foundation like theirs, it’s impossible to collapse easily.

They can always hold on for a long time.

As long as they get a little help, they can get through this crisis.

And they can continue to help each other in the future.

No one can be sure that it won’t be their turn to face trouble one day; helping their in-laws is also helping themselves.

Otherwise, what’s the purpose of marriage alliances?

Isn’t it to prevent situations like this from happening?

Why do they only care about marrying partners with similar social standings, and look down on those with no background?

It’s because when trouble comes, the latter can’t help their own family.

Mrs. Lopez nodded, “Shall we go over now?”

“Let’s go tonight.” Richard Lopez said.

They went to see Adrian Zhekova in the morning and contacted Wendy Clarke in the afternoon.

In the blink of an eye, the sky had already darkened.

Today had been extremely eventful.

“No matter how anxious we are, we should go home and get prepared first, so we can present ourselves with dignity.” Richard Lopez said.

After being busy all day, the three of them weren’t in good shape.

Moreover, even if the Kirk Family agreed to help, it wouldn’t immediately relieve the Lopez family’s predicament.

It would have to be tomorrow at the earliest.

So, there was no difference whether they went early or late today.

So, the three of them went home to have dinner.

Richard Lopez also inquired about the Company’s losses today.

The more he heard, the more his heart ached.

He doubted whether they could hold on until the banquet on the first day of the New Year.

***

At this moment, at the Kirk Family’s residence.

The Lopez family easily obtained an invitation because of their cooperation with the government.

However, this year the Kirk Family did not have any cooperation with the government and surprisingly didn’t get an invitation.

The invitations were taken by other families instead.

This made Mateo Kirk, Wyatt Kirk’s father, feel like he lost face.

Especially because the Lopez family got an invitation while his family did not.

If people found out, wouldn’t they think the Kirk Family was inferior to the Lopez family?

In reality, the Kirk family was not weaker than the Lopez family.

But the fact that they didn’t get an invitation could inadvertently give that impression to those who don’t know the truth.

Mateo Kirk felt a sense of inferiority compared to Richard Lopez.

These past few days, Mateo’s mood was gloomy, and he felt terrible.

Wyatt Kirk thought to himself, it seemed the old man’s abilities were limited.

He couldn’t even get an invitation.

Wyatt Kirk silently despised his father in his heart.

Probably because the disdain in his heart was too strong, it even showed on his face.

This angered Mateo Kirk.

He couldn’t get an invitation, and now he was being looked down upon by his prodigal son.

Mateo Kirk threw a magazine at Wyatt’s face, “You try it then! Don’t look down on your old man!”

Wyatt caught the magazine, narrowly avoiding being hit.

“Don’t take your anger out on me if you can’t get it.” Wyatt said.

“Didn’t you say you’re acquainted with Adrian Zhekova?” Mateo continued, “Why don’t you ask Adrian for an invitation then? Or were you just bragging to me all this while?”

At first when this kid showed off the Whatsapp contact of Adrian Zhekova, it really shocked Mateo.

Could his son really have Adrian Zhekova’s contact?

But Mateo didn’t have the guts to ask Adrian if it was true.

So, he had to endure a whole week of Wyatt’s boasting at home.

Wyatt stifled himself and immediately puffed out his chest and said, “Just wait, I’ll ask him now.”

Wyatt immediately sent a message to Adrian Zhekova, “Brother Adrian, it’s Little Wyatt! Do you remember me?”

After sending the message, Wyatt anxiously waited for Adrian’s reply.

After a few minutes, the Whatsapp notification sound rang.

Wyatt was startled and hurriedly opened it with trepidation.

Adrian Zhekova: “Get to the point.”

“Alright!” Wyatt hastily replied, “About the banquet on the first day of the New Year, you’re going, right, Brother Adrian?”

Adrian Zhekova: “I’ll give you one more chance.”

Wyatt quickly said, “My family didn’t get an invitation. Brother Adrian, can you give us one?”

This time, he didn’t dare say anything else and went straight to the point.

Although the invitations were distributed by the government,

The Big Eight families did have some in their possession, which they could give out at their discretion.

However, ordinary families wouldn’t dare to ask The Big Eight families for invitations.

Invitations in the hands of The Big Eight families were usually reserved for their own in-laws.

Adrian Zhekova: “Sure.”

Adrian didn’t think it was a big deal,

It was just a little matter of the invitation.

Seeing that the young man was quite sensible, Adrian readily agreed.

“Big Brother Adrian, you’re my true brother!” Wyatt sent an excited message.

Adrian Zhekova: “…”

He felt Wyatt was taking advantage of him.

“So, are you available now? I’ll come over to get the invitation!” Wyatt immediately said.

Adrian Zhekova: “in such a hurry?”

Wyatt thought to himself this was because he was afraid that Adrian might forget later.

“The invitation is not with me,” Adrian said.

Such trivial matters as invitations wouldn’t be personally handled by him.

“I’ll have someone send it to you.” He continued.

Invitations were kept with the secretarial department in the company.

There were still people working overtime at the company. Anyone could be found to send the invitation to Wyatt.

“Oh, I can’t trouble you like that. I’ll send someone to pick it up,” Wyatt said. “We can’t trouble the people from Pingla.”

Seeing that Wyatt was quite sensible, Adrian agreed, “Alright.”

Wyatt triumphantly raised his eyebrows at Mateo, “He agreed, my Big Brother Adrian promised me.”

Mateo Kirk: “…”

“Really? Is Adrian Zhekova so easily convinced?” Mateo was astonished.

When did Adrian Zhekova’s temper become so good?

This was not Adrian Zhekova!

Wyatt bragged, “Yo? Dad, do you want me to tell Big Brother Adrian about your doubts?”

Mateo Kirk: “…”

“I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial son!” Mateo shouted angrily.

How could he provoke his old man like this!

Wyatt thought if he died, then no one would get the invitation for him.

But Wyatt didn’t continue to stimulate his father.

Instead, he quickly put on his coat and said, “I’m going to Pingla to get the invitation.”

“You’re going personally?” Mateo asked.

“It’s safer to go in person. It shows sincerity.” Wyatt explained.
