Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

When Jean couldn't run anymore, she stopped and found a place to rest. She withdrew her phone from her bag to see who had been calling her. It was Shirley.

Shirley Wen! Jean was upset when she thought about her half-sister. If it hadn't been for the Weibo post Shirley had made, Jean would not have been humiliated the way she had been.

Jean had severed relations with the Wen family, so why was Shirley calling her?

She had planned not to answer Shirley's call. But then Jean thought she was being unfair to herself if she didn't confront Shirley about the grievances she had suffered.

"Sister, you have finally answered!" Shirley said affectionately. Even so, Jean could sense her half-sister's impatience.

"Shirley, what do you want from me?" asked Jean.

"Sister, our family hasn't had dinner together in a long time. Father said that he wanted to invite you to dinner and has already picked the restaurant. You..." said Shirley.

"Have you forgotten that I am no longer part of the Wen family?" said Jean.

"Sister, father said that he really wanted you to have dinner with us. Regardless of what happened in the past, he wants us to have a meal as a whole family. Think of it as one last dinner, " said Shirley. Shirley stopped to see if Jean would reply. When she heard nothing, Shirley continued, "I will send you the location of the restaurant by text. Sister, you must come!"

After ending the call, Jean watched the passers-by. She sighed as she thought over the dinner invitation. If for no other reason, Jean felt like she needed to go in order to get proper closure.

Her phone pinged and when Jean looked, she saw a message from Shirley. "Seven o'clock. Boris Hotel. Room 1021."

With nothing else to do, and no where else to be, Jean went home to rest and clean up. She left home at half past six. Since Jean didn't live far from the hotel, she decided it would not be too expensive to go by taxi.
