Loving A STRANGER Chapter 428

Kylie coughed a little, then said, "Not a bad idea."
Ethan glanced at her. "If you want to check it, you can come to my company anytime you want."
Lucas said at once, "Lord Ethan is one in a million. Kylie, you don't need to worry about that."
"Whom are you working for here?" Kylie looked at him.
"Um, I think I should call the directors now. See you around!" Lucas made an excuse and left at once.
Seeing the couple, Kylie and Ethan were having some fun with each other, he better stayed away.
"You don't have confidence in me?" Ethan asked Kylie when Lucas was gone.
"You're so outstanding and charming. There must be some women who try to seduce you." Kylie leaned on his chest. "I hate them when they make eyes at you."
Ethan held her hand and kissed its back. "I won't give them a glance."
"Great!" Kylie said.
At this moment, Lucy walked to them. "Mr. Parker, Mrs. Parker, old Mrs. Parker just called and invited you to dine with them."
"Thanks, Lucy," Ethan said, then stood up with Kylie from the sofa. "Have you found a good housemaid for our mother?"
"Yeah, she was Khloe's assistant and turned to Lucas for a new job a couple of days ago," Kylie replied.
When they arrived at the Parker family's house, Kylie was surprised to meet Matthew.
He didn't remember that he still had a wife until he had squandered all his savings, and his aging body couldn't satisfy those young girls anymore.
Taylor didn't bother to look at him but stayed by old Mrs. Parker's side all the time.
Matthew had said a lot and made many promises in front of old Mr. Parker, but old Mr. Parker never smiled at him. Right when he felt hopeless, Ethan and Kylie walked inside.

"Ethan, been a while! Please, help me say something." Matthew strode to Ethan. He wanted to pull his hand but didn't dare to do so. "I know I'm a jerk. I've brought shame on the whole family. I don't deserve your forgiveness..." Saying that he slapped himself.
Seeing his red swollen face, Ethan still wore a cold face.
Old Mr. Parker, instead, didn't have the heart to see his own son slapping himself right in front of his eyes, so he stopped Matthew. "Alright, stop playing pitiful! It's useless."
Matthew turned to face old Mr. Parker. "Father, I know I've done a lot of bad things, but I promise I'll change. Please give me a chance."
Old Mr. Parker glanced at Ethan, then looked to Taylor. "You should apologize to your wife!"
"Sure." Matthew walked to Taylor. "Taylor, please, we've married for so many years. Please forgive me this time. I promise I'll never cheat on you again."
Taylor, however, turned her head to another side and refused to meet his eyes.
Kylie noticed Taylor's hands clenched into fists, and she understood Taylor was in the middle of a mental struggle now.
Matthew was Taylor's first man, and Taylor was a traditional woman who thought she could only marry once in a lifetime, and shouldn't leave her husband no matter what had happened.
Nevertheless, what Matthew had done hurt her deeply.
It was a tough decision for her to make now.
She needed time to test Matthew's loyalty, instead of sweet nothings.
Kylie, all of a sudden, opened her mouth at this moment. "Matthew, I think you must do something to prove your words and make Taylor happy."
Matthew turned to look at her.
There was a touch of hatred flashed by his eyes, but it soon was replaced by humility.

He understood it clearly that Kylie had an absolute say in the Parker family now.
If it hadn't been for Kylie, he wouldn't be in a miserable condition now, his son wouldn't have been put in jail, and he would be the chairman of the Century Group.
Matthew was full of hatred towards Kylie, but he didn't dare show any hint of it before Ethan's face.
"Right, Kylie's right." Matthew pretended that he agreed with Kylie. "Taylor, you don't need to forgive me right now. You can see my performance first before you make your decision. I promise I can change, and we can be happy back together."
Taylor glanced at him and did her best to compose herself. "Let's see."
After that, she walked to Kylie and held her hand. "Kylie, why don't we go to the kitchen together? What do you want to eat? I can tell them to cook for you."
"Sure." Kylie understood Taylor wanted to leave here, so she loosened her hand around Ethan's arm and looked to old Mr. Parker and old Mrs. Parker. "Father, mother, please excuse me."
After they walked out of the front hall, Taylor said to Kylie, "It's all my fault. I told one of my friends the good news after you called me yesterday. I didn't expect she would tell Matthew right away."
Kylie patted her hand. "It's fine, but I think you do need to test his loyalty this time. You can never forgive him easily."
"I understand. Men never cherish a woman who they could easily get," Taylor sighed.
"Even though you decide to forgive him, you can't let him be involved in your business in the fundraising," Kylie said. "You must seize the right of finance in your hands tightly so that he'll respect you."
"Kylie, I honestly don't know how to thank you." Taylor flushed. "I treated you so badly before, but you care about me so much."
"Let bygones be bygones." Kylie smiled.
"You're right." Taylor wiped her eyes. "Nicole will be back this winter vacation, and I hope we can visit Aiden together."
"No problem, I can arrange it for you," Kylie said.
In the front hall, Ethan coldly stared at Matthew as usual.
He had caught Matthew's every look at Kylie, and he wouldn't give Matthew any chance since Matthew dared disrespect, Kylie.
The hall fell into a stalemate all of a sudden. Matthew had a pair of sore legs after standing for a long time, but he didn't dare to sit down because old Mr. Parker didn't say a word.
Seeing Ethan enjoying the coffee on a comfortable chair, he could only approach him, trying to chat with him.
"Ethan, I read it in the newspaper a few days ago that the Century Group is already among the Global 500 now. Congratulations!" Matthew raised a smile.
To his astonishment, Ethan was able to build the company, which almost had gone bankrupt to be so successful within a short time.
If he could have a position in the company again, he wouldn't lack money. As long as he had money, he could have countless young beautiful women.
However, he was just a joke in Ethan's eyes now.
"Well, I don't know which issue of the newspaper you read, because it's already something that happened in the last month," Ethan said.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
