Chapter 162
She hadn''t been there for so many years. This 5000 square meters European-style luxurious detached
vi, belonged to Fisher Family.
The Fisher Family was the same as she remembered. She still hated it as ever.
Christina was standing in the middle of the Fisher Family''s lobby. The sparkling crystal lights shone on
her delicate face, but she frowned and seriously looked at the peopleing and going. The guests
were dressed in gorgeous clothes, talking andughing. People from the business and political worlds
came to wish Mrs. Fisher a happy birthday.
"Hopkins? from Hopkins Family... Hello, Mr. Hopkins..."
Christina walked arm in arm with Patrick towards the banquet hall. Along the way, she could always
hear some stuttering and fawning voices such like, "I''m d to see you here. It''s really my honor to..."
Patrick didn''t pay much attention to these people. He looked expressionless and just nodded slightly.
"How is Old Master Mr. Hopkins doing? I have visited your family in person but it''s a pity that I didn''t
see you. I haven''t seen you for so many years, maybe you don''t remember me."
Charles smiled as usual and said casually, "Uncle, how can the younger generation forget you? You
are in your prime now. When I was watching TV at home, I could always see you talking. I will never
forget you."
"Charles, you can really amuse people. You have a simr personality to your grandfather. Hahaha."
Charles was chatting with a man of about sixty years old. It was inevitable for him to socialize at such a
party.
Christina was very surprised. She had just seen this old man on the news yesterday, who was making
histest speech with a solemn face. She secretly tugged at Patrick''s arm and asked in a low voice,
"Isn''t this old man..."
"This is..." This sneaky little action was really not elegant. Surprisingly, the other party was the first to
ask.
"My wife, Christina."
Patrick then looked up and looked at him and replied directly.
Christina was a little nervous because it was the first time she faced such a big shot on TV. She
immediately straightened up and obediently said, "Hello, Uncle Li."
When the other party heard her call out "Uncle Li," he froze for a second, and suddenly he was happy
as if he was glorious. He smiled and his eyes narrowed. "You are the bride of Patrick? You are so
beautiful, gentle, and lovely."
Charles stood aside and had just taken a sip of a cocktail. When he heard the words ''gentle and
lovely'',he almost choked on the drink.
Bah -
If Christina could be described as gentle and lovely, then there were no women in this world!
Everyone in the business circle knew about Patrick''s precious wife. Christina''s hot temper had long
been spread. This woman was dangerous, no one dared to get close to her.
"Christina, I heard that you are the only daughter of the Dickens Family. Are you bored with your
pregnancy now? A few girls in Li Family are about your age. Women are born to love beauty. If they
see you, they will definitely pester you to ask those skincare questions. You can go ahead and talk to
them if you have any troubles..."
The old man in formal and dignified clothes suddenly started to chatter, calling "Christina" with an
amiable tone.
Christina was a little surprised. Her previous impression of him waspletely ruined. He thought he
had been a totally different person.
Not knowing how to respond, the man next to her naturally smoothed a few strands of messy hair on
her chest and replied for her, "Uncle Li, she''s tired. Maybe she needs to rest for a while."
The old man was embarrassed by Patrick''s cold and aloof words. So he immediately changed her
words. "That... That''s good. Pay attention to your health. Pregnancy is really tiring. You really have to
pay more attention"
Christina''s expression was frozen and she nodded slightly at the other party. "I''ll go to the side to rest.
You guys can continue talking."
She remembered that this ''big shot'' went to Hopkins Family to look for Old Master Mr. Hopkins on new
year''s day. He seemed to need Old Master Mr. Hopkins to help but didn''t make it. It seemed that he
ttered because of his objectives.
Patrick would never allow her to be involved in theseplicated events. He habitually reminded her,
"Sit aside and don''t run around."
"I know." She was obedient today.
The Fisher Family was also doing business, but couldn''tpete with the Hopkins Family with it''s
arms dealer background. Christina casually finds a corner to sit down, gazed around the magnificent
hall with aplicated expression. She used to feel that the house was very luxurious and bright. She
had lived in the Hopkins Family for half a year. She was no longer shocked as it was in those years.
The Fisher Family was still the former Fisher Family, but, "Where is he?"
Christina craned her neck and looked around for the figure she was looking for.
Derek, wasn''t he there today?
It was not proper for her to run around with a big belly. The party had not yet officially started, and
Christina sat patiently. She thought that she would be able to see him on the rostrum in a while.
At least, Derek was the only grandson of the Fisher Family. Even if he was a bastard.
The waiter who was walking around the ballroom enthusiastically brought her a ss of juice and a
cake. Christina sat alone at a small round table and poked the small piece of mousse cake with a fork.
In the distance, Patrick and Charles were drinking with some elders, and asionally Patrick would
look at her.
Christina watched her men being surrounded and ttered by others. He frowned slightly, which meant
that he was not in a good mood. Unfortunately, those people were unable to see the fitness of things.
Perhaps they were too excited to meet Patrick here.
Christina picked up the juice and took a sip, bored. She was thinking, "He is really poker-faced. Just
smile." It seemed that Patrick didn''t like to entertain these people very much.
"Is Patrick very close to the Fisher Family?"
Christina suddenly asked this question, but it was the first time that she had seen Patrick take such
initiative to attend a banquet, and it was only a woman''s birthday party.
"I heard that Mr. Fisher and Mrs. Fisher will be announcing their retirement today, so their Fisher Family
will be in charge by..."
"I can''t guarantee who it is, but it won''t be that fool."
Not far to Christina''s right side, she heard a few noblewomen gossiping. Christina could not hear what
they were talking about, so she look over at them with curiosity.
Who did they say?
The dignifieddies noticed Christina as well.
"No, not that fool''s girlfriend. That''s Hopkins Family''s granddaughter-inw."
The group of women quickly dispersed and Christina only vaguely heard the words "granddaughter-in-
was more willing to y with Crystal than these women.
"Crystal, are you still in the hospital? How are you feeling now?"

"I''m out of the hospital, very lively. Christina, don''t worry about me."
Christina listened to her voice and thought she was more capable of drinking.
"Where are you now? Are you back in A City?"
"It''s hard for me toe to F City. I n to go around." Crystal seemed to have gotten over her being
fired and said excitedly about going to visit some old towns.
"Crystal, don''t go to the old district. It''s not fun and you might be ckmailed."
Crystal held her phone and listened to Christina talking about the itinerary in F City. She was stunned
for a moment. "Christina, you seem to know F City very well?"
