Chapter 738: Chapter 738: A Talented Individual
They were polite to Edward Lopez, not wanting to completely burn bridges with him.
They wanted to leave themselves a way out in case the Lopez Family wasn’t finished yet.
But they also worried that the Zhekova Family might really push the Lopez Family to the brink.
If the Lopez Family really was finished and they maintained a good relationship with them,
what if Adrian Zhekova thought they were getting close to the Lopez Family to provoke him?
Although many people haven’t experienced Adrian Zhekova’s temper themselves,
since his notorious temper was so well-known, they didn’t dare to challenge it.
Thus, they could only be cautious and maintain a moderate distance from the Lopez Family.
“My aunt’s family is here.” Edward Lopez’s view showed the three members of the Kirk Family entering.
Unlike when they arrived, nobody paid any attention to them.
As soon as the Kirk Family entered, many friends came forward to greet them.
Wyatt Kirk had a few friends there as well; they rushed over when they saw him.
With the Kirk Family surrounded by warmth, the coldness of the Lopez Family was even more pronounced.
Originally, Mateo Kirk had been worried about whether he should greet the Lopez Family when he arrived.
He had loaned them fifty million, so he couldn’t offend the Lopez Family on this matter.
If he lent them money and helped them only to be blamed, it would be a great loss.
But if he dared to openly show a good relationship with the Lopez Family, he wouldn’t have had to secretly lend them money before.
Now, with so many people coming over, it solved his problem.
Surrounded by people, he couldn’t go and find the Lopez Family.
So, Mateo Kirk didn’t worry and chatted with Mrs. Kirk.
Wyatt Kirk also chatted with his friends.
He noticed the chilliness of the Lopez Family from the corner of his eye.
Edward Lopez had a few friends here too, but none of them approached him.
Although they usually had fun together, they all looked out for themselves during crucial moments.
On this point, Wyatt Kirk was much more aware than Edward Lopez.
He knew what was going on very clearly.
“The Lopez Family has been targeted by Adrian Zhekova lately, how are things on your side?” one of Wyatt Kirk’s friends asked.
“What can be done? Master Adrian isn’t someone to take out his anger on others. If someone offends him, he will find that person, it’s normal.” Wyatt Kirk said.
“Did the Lopez Family ask your family for help?” another friend asked.
They had always known that although Wyatt Kirk appeared to be a playboy, he was actually quite shrewd.
If they thought they could take advantage of Wyatt Kirk as an ignorant person, they would be making a big mistake.
Who knows who would end up at a disadvantage in the end.
“They asked, how could they not?” Wyatt Kirk didn’t hide it, “After all, we’re relatives, we can’t ignore them.”
“But we’re really powerless to help.” Wyatt Kirk said, “So, we just loaned them some money. As for business matters and introductions, my family can’t help. Besides, the industries we’re involved in are different, there’s not much overlap.”
Their friend circles were different from Edward Lopez’s.
Usually, there wasn’t much interaction between them.
But they still knew some news.
“Two of Edward Lopez’s friends who usually hang out with him are here, they’re over there.” Wyatt Kirk’s friend pointed them out.
“Look, they’re pretending not to know him from afar,” his friend sneered, “Usually, they act like they’re too good for others, but now that a problem has happened, it’s become a joke.”
Not to mention Edward Lopez himself used to look down on Wyatt Kirk.
Even Edward’s friends didn’t think highly of them.
Anyway, they were not on the same path.
With the Lopez Family in trouble, it wasn’t just Edward who became a joke.
The news of his friends turning their backs and distancing themselves from him spread throughout the circle.
Who spread it?
Edward captured the IG stories of his friends, and it turned out that the person who captured it was the one who spread the news.
Even though they weren’t really familiar with each other, they were all still on Whatsapp.
In the IG stories, they saw his friends hanging out everywhere, but Edward was never present.
Nobody saw him liking or commenting on anything.
At first, they didn’t pay attention, but later when they heard about the screenshots from the person who spread the news, they suddenly realized.
Edward’s friend circle had become a joke to them for a while.
Wyatt Kirk laughed and said, “You don’t need to laugh at them, if any of us had a problem, wouldn’t the others stay away too? It just hasn’t happened to us yet.”
“Hey, don’t say that! I don’t know how I would react if a real problem occurred. But at least, even if we distance ourselves on the surface, we would still secretly help in private.” one of Wyatt Kirk’s friends said.
Wyatt Kirk patted each of them and said, “I know, our friendship is trustworthy. Besides, the way we usually play around is different from my cousin.”
So are the friends they associate with.
Wyatt Kirk secretly glanced at Adrian Zhekova’s side.
If it hadn’t been for the Lopez Family’s troubles, he would have rushed over to call him Brother Adrian.
But now, it clearly wasn’t appropriate.
Later, the Lopez Family would probably ask him to beg Adrian Zhekova for mercy.
But he knew very well that if he thickened his face and called Brother Adrian, it would be considered good luck if Adrian Zhekova even acknowledged him.
Asking Adrian Zhekova for mercy?
He must think his face is really big.
That’s why Wyatt Kirk didn’t go over with a high profile.
However, without flaunting his presence, Wyatt Kirk felt that his hard-earned invitation would be wasted.
So, he took out his mobile phone and sent Adrian Zhekova a Whatsapp message.
“Brother Adrian, I see my cousin’s family is here, so I can’t come to you. I’ll wish you a happy new year from here and send my regards to my sister-in-law!” Wyatt Kirk said.
Adrian Zhekova raised his eyebrows and asked, “Cousin?”
“Oh! It’s Edward Lopez.” Wyatt Kirk said.
Adrian Zhekova didn’t expect that Edward Lopez was Wyatt Kirk’s cousin.
As for this, Adrian Zhekova didn’t bother to check, nor did he care about the relatives of the Lopez Family.
Now that he knew it was Wyatt Kirk, he felt like laughing.
The difference between these cousins was not small.
Although Wyatt Kirk was thick-skinned, he was flexible, able to kneel and adapt.
The reason Adrian Zhekova was willing to put up with him was because he thought Wyatt was quite interesting.
In this day and age, a man who could cry while hugging his legs in public in a shopping mall was rare.
He was talented.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just for this persistence, he was already better than Edward Lopez.
Wyatt Kirk, afraid that Adrian Zhekova would misunderstand his intentions of asking for mercy, quickly told him, “Brother Adrian, I’m afraid that if I come to you now and my cousin’s family sees me, they’ll cling to me for mercy. That’s why I’m not coming over.”
“Being relatives, aren’t you going to help?” Adrian Zhekova asked.
Wyatt Kirk hurriedly explained: “Our two families are involved in different business fields, so even if we want to introduce them to some businesses to ease their situation, we can’t do it. As for introductions, it’s not up to our family. The other party wouldn’t dare to offend Brother Adrian, and they wouldn’t give face to our family either.”
