When Jovie announced that dinner was served, she warmly invited Charlie’s family of three to join them at the restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, a man in his 60s was busily arranging dishes. This man, introduced by Jovie, was her husband, Jase.
The young man who had just invited them to dinner was Jovie’s son, Yosef.
Jase was very weing. After seating Charlie’s family at the dinner table, he turned to Charlie with a smile and asked, “What type of wine do you enjoy? I have red wine and Maotai avable.”
Charlie politely replied, “Thank you, Uncle Jase, but I still have to drive, so I won’t be drinking.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Jase smiled in response and said, “That’s perfectly fine; it’s wise not to drink and drive.”
Then he turned to his son, Yosef, and suggested, “Yosef, if you’re free tonight, how about we share a drink?”
Yosef nodded with a grin, “Sure, let’s have a drink.”
Jovie quickly interjected, “Just remember to drink responsibly, you two.”
Father and son agreed, and soon after, Yosef eagerly opened a bottle of Maotai, pouring a ss for himself and his father.
It was clear that both father and son enjoyed their drinks, as the moment the bottle was opened, the aroma of the wine filled the air, making them both a bit restless.<fnbaf8> ?????? ???? FindN0vel</fnbaf8>
However, despite their eagerness, neither of them lifted their sses right away; they both kept ncing at Jovie.
Seeing this, Jovie smiled at ine and said, “ine, let’s hold off on the drinks and start our meal!”
ine, who wasn’t a fan of drinking, readily agreed.
As they ate, Jovie suddenly remembered something and asked ine, “When does your flight arrive?”
ine quickly replied, “My ne arrives Sunday night.”
Jovie responded excitedly, “Oh! I have a sister who’s returning to China this weekend from New York as well. You two might hit it off.”
ine’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Really? That would be wonderful! After being on the road for over ten hours, I could really use somepany to chat with.”
Jovie pulled out her phone and said, “Let me check with her. A few days ago, she mentioned her ns to return to China, and I asked her to bring something back for my dad, so she’s in New York now.”
She continued, “I’ll ask her for her flight number. If it’s the same as yours, I can share her contact information with you so you two can connect.”
ine smiled and replied, “Please do! My flight number is CX845, and I have ayover in Hong Kong before heading to my final destination.”
Jovie began typing on her phone. “Alright, let me find out for you. If you’re on the same flight, you can travel together. She’s likely connecting through Hong Kong on her way to Guangdong Province.”
Before long, Jovie handed her phone to ine with a smile. “Look, she’s also on this flight!”
ine leaned in closer and was thrilled to see the chat response confirming the flight number, CX845. “Oh my goodness, what a coincidence!” she eximed.
“Indeed!” Jovie replied with a smile. “My sister is quite remarkable. Her family specializes in import and export trade between China and the United States, and they’re worth billions. Knowing her could be beneficial for you in the future.”
ine beamed with excitement. “That’s amazing! Jovie, please get her WeChat business card for me. I’d love to add her.”
