Chapter 7: The Dog of Fear and Dependence

There was a hint of surprise in Justin's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Sophia twice, as if he was examining this sudden visitor.

At this moment, Isabella just came back. She sat lightly beside Sophia and said with a hearty smile: "I just met a high school classmate and chatted with him for a while." After that, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

The waiter brought the meal in time, and the three of them sat around the table and began to enjoy this rare time together. Isabella occasionally interrupted and shared interesting stories on campus with Sophia , and they laughed and talked.

After the meal, when the three were about to leave, they happened to meet Angela and her group. Angela was dining with a client, and the two groups met unexpectedly at the door. Angela raised her eyebrows slightly at Sophia, and the two tacitly pretended not to know each other, passing by each other, leaving a mysterious tacit understanding.

At this time, the rain had stopped and the road was open. Max drove slowly over and the three of them got in. Isabella sat in the passenger seat and turned around to ask Sophia with concern: "Sophia, where are you going?"

"If it's on your way, just drop me off at the gate of Jiang University." Sophia responded softly, with a hint of gratitude in her tone.

" On the way, no problem! My second uncle is very easy to talk to." Isabella smiled meaningfully, with a cunning light in her eyes.

Sophia laughed dryly and muttered to herself: If I hadn't experienced his "venomous tongue" before, I might have been fooled by his "amiable" appearance!

Along the way, Sophia and Isabella chatted constantly, while Justin sat aside, looking down at the documents in his hand, and was silent. However, his strong personal momentum was like a magnetic field, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

The three of them were in the same car. Although Sophia and Justin were husband and wife, they seemed to be separated by thousands of miles. This subtle feeling made Sophia feel mixed emotions.

When the car arrived at the gate of Jiang University, Sophia stood up and said goodbye to Isabella before getting out of the car : "Thank you, Isabella ."

" You're welcome, just treat me to milk tea some other day!" Isabella's eyes were lively and her smile was cute.

Sophia agreed with a smile, picked up her umbrella and bag, and finally thanked Justin: "Thank you, Mr. Ling."

Justin didn't even raise his head, just said "hmm" lightly.

Sophia turned and left, waving goodbye to Isabella. After the car entered the traffic, she went to the bus stop to wait for the next bus.

In the car, Isabella looked away, and suddenly thought of something, turned to Justin and said, "Uncle, I want Sophia to be Ethan 's tutor."

It turned out that her parents were often not at home, and they flew to London a few days ago to attend an economic seminar, bringing even grandparents with them. As soon as they left, Ethan 's tutor found an excuse to resign. Now the responsibility of disciplining Ethan fell on her shoulders, and she urgently needed to find someone to share the pressure.

Justin frowned and looked up at Isabella: "Why do you need a student when you have a professional tutor?"

Isabella curled her lips: "Professionals can't control him at all! Besides, Sophia is quite pitiful. She relies on tutoring to earn tuition. I want to help her."

Justin didn't trust this student who hadn't graduated yet: "You can just give her the money!"

" She has her own self-esteem, okay?" Isabella said with a smile, "Uncle, just agree to it! At worst, let her try first. If Ethan doesn't accept it, she will give up on her own."

Justin sneered, "If she can manage Ethan, she's capable. So let her try!"

Isabella nodded excitedly when she heard this: "I'll call her later!"

On the other side, Sophia got off the bus at Yunhai Road Station and went to the dessert shop where the electric car was held to chat with the clerk Clara for a while. She did not return to the villa until it was getting dark.

As soon as she entered the door, Baxi jumped over happily and rolled around on Sophia . This Samoyed is Justin 's pet dog. When Sophia came to the villa, it was still a little one, and now it has grown into a three-year-old big dog. Sophia looked at it and always felt like she was raising someone else's son.

There is also a maid named Wu Ma and an old housekeeper named Uncle Lee who take care of her in the villa. The three of them and the dog have lived together for nearly three years and have become as close as a family.

After being intimate with Baxi, Sophia went upstairs to take a shower. As soon as she finished her shower, she received a call from Isabella . During the call, Isabella once again mentioned that Sophia should go to Ling family to be a tutor for her younger brother.

Go to Ling family to be a tutor? Sophia imagined the scene and shook her head: "I am not a professional tutor, and I am afraid that it will delay Ethan . You should go to a tutoring company to hire someone."

"I've hired a lot of professionals, but Ethan doesn't like any of them. Sophia, please help me! My family is not at home, and my second uncle is busy. Can you just consider it as helping me?" Isabella said coquettishly in a soft tone.

Sophia was pestered by Isabella for a long time, and finally she reluctantly agreed to give it a try.

"Come over tomorrow, Sunday! I'll be waiting for you at home. See you then!" Isabella said, fearing that Sophia would go back on her word, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Sophia blinked helplessly at her phone, muttering to herself: What's going on?

Soon, Isabella 's WeChat message came: " Sophia, where do you live? I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Sophia replied: "I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of Jiangda University at nine in the morning."

"It's settled then!" Isabella replied promptly.

After hanging up the phone, Sophia was a little absent-minded. Baxi jumped onto the sofa and bit her pajamas. She leaned over Baxi and chuckled, "I'm going to see your master tomorrow! Do you have anything to say to him?"

Baxi looked up at her blankly, as if he didn't understand what she was saying.

Sophia raised her hand and gently patted Baxi's big head, sneering: "What a stupid son of a landlord!"

…

When I was chatting with Angela on the phone at night, I heard that Sophia was going to the Ling family to tutor Justin 's nephew. Angela was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, she shouted excitedly: "Sugar baby! Here's your chance! Now you can enter his house openly! Then conquer him! Jump on him! Sleep with him before the agreement is over! Finally, throw the divorce certificate in his face! So cool!"

Sophia was silent for two seconds and decisively hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she continued listening, she would really be brainwashed by Angela's "crazy talk".

However, she really needs to think carefully about how she should treat Justin if she often meets him in Ling family in the future.

…

The next morning, at 8:50. Sophia appeared at the gate of Jiangda on time, patiently waiting for the driver of Ling family . Five minutes later, a Mercedes-Benz car drove slowly, and the driver got out of the car and asked politely, "Is it Miss Smith ?"

Sophia nodded: "Yes!"

The driver's attitude became more friendly: "Miss, let me pick you up."

After Sophia thanked him, she opened the car door and got in. The car drove to the Ling family's old house. The Ling family's old house is located in the south of the city. The outer wall is a black hollow iron fence, and vines are all over the wall. The car drove along the flower wall for ten minutes before reaching the door. Passing through the black iron gate, what came into view was a single-family villa and a beautiful garden.

The servant guarding the door nodded to Sophia , opened the door and invited her in. Sophia changed her shoes and walked in. Before she had time to look at the interior of the villa, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow rushing towards her.

Sophia's face suddenly changed, and she ran inside. Seeing someone coming down the stairs, she jumped up and hugged the man without thinking, then quickly jumped up, her legs tightly clamped around the man's waist, and her arms tightly around the man's neck.

She is afraid of all dogs in the world, except Baxi!

"David!" The man's voice was deep and contained a hint of warning.

The dog that pounced over immediately stopped at Justin 's feet, and curiously looked up at Sophia's body.

Justin turned his head to look at the woman hanging on him, his handsome face sank slightly: "If you don't come down, I'll sue you for harassment!"

Sophia blinked and looked at the man's tense profile, then her eyes fell on a scar behind his ear. Although the scar was very shallow and almost invisible, it still looked a bit abrupt on this pampered man.

Justin frowned and threw Sophia away. Sophia tightened her grip on his shoulders and whispered, "Let it go first!"
