There was only one person who could have that card. Young knelt down on the ground, and was regretful. "My lord, please forgive me! I even didn't know you're here!" He kept cowtowing, and the blood flew down with cold sweat. Finally, Carl opened his mouth. "Leave, and don't do this again." Young was suprised. He hurriedly got up and bowed. "Thanks! I will never do this again!" Katie snorted coldly. "Remember, don't let anyone know about my lord's identity." Young hurriedly promised. "Ok, ok." Katie nodded, started the car, and then left with Carl. Young swept away the cold sweat on his head, and murmured. "What a great honor to meet the Lord of North! Arrogant young man, but that's just my fu*king national hero!" ... The next day, Carl returned to Su’s family. As soon as his mother-in-law, Lilian Feng, saw that he had opened the door himself, she angrily rebuked, "Carl, where did you get our key?" Carrie Su came out of the kitchen, "Mom, I gave the key to him." Lilian said angrily, "Are you crazy? Why did you give him the key? " "This house was bought by Carl's father, and his name is on the property certificate. This is his home!" said Carrie, “If it's his home, why can't he have the key? " Lilian stamped her foot furiously, "You just mean to piss me off!” At this time, Carl’s father-in-law, Reed Su, also opened the door and got in. Seeing that Carl was also there, he immediately frowned. Then he said to Carrie, "Tomorrow noon is your grandma's birthday party. Your grandma has invited young master Jiang. You better behave yourself and be nice to him." Carrie frowned, "Hank Jiang is not related to our family. Why did grandma invite him? " Lilian said, "It's all for your own good. Young master Jiang is so devoted to you that he has already said that he will marry you. " "Please tell him that it won’t be necessary. My husband has come back!" said Carrie. Lilian was worried and said angrily, "Are you crazy?! Do you know how much money Jiang’s family has? Marry him, your life will be carefree, our family can be rich again! Your grandma has been looking down on our family these years. If you marry Mr. Jiang, she will surely come back to flatter us! " "Yes," said Reed! Our future is up to Mr. Jiang! " "I'm not interested in Hank Jiang. If you keep planning on this, I won't go to the birthday party tomorrow." said Carrie. "Asshole!" "How can you not go to your grandmother's 70th birthday party?" he said angrily. Carrie came up, took Carl's arm and said obstinately, "I will only go with my husband!" Reed put his hand to his heart and said angrily, "You...You really pissed me off! If your grandmother see him, she will be very angry.” Lilian also glared at Carl, "Carl, I can tell you that tomorrow the old lady is going to let Carrie get engaged to Mr. Jiang. If you, a total loser, dare to make trouble on purpose, I will not let you go easy!" Carl frowned, "I’ll let Carrie decide whether I go or not." "I won’t go to that party without you!" said Carrie firmly. Reed was hopping mad, but he also knew his daughter's temper. Once she said that, if Carl was not allowed to go, she would certainly not go. But Hank Jiang had already planned to ask Carrie to marry him at the old lady's birthday party. He prepared a big surprise and ceremony of the proposal. Reed thought that he couldn’t upset Hank no matter what! What's more, he thought that Hank had spent so much effort in preparing for the proposal ceremony that he might be able to impress Carrie by the time! Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, "Carl can go if he wants to, but I cannot let him go without a gift. That would be a shame of our family." "Don't worry, Dad. I'll prepare a birthday gift for grandma." said Carl. That night, Carl made a bed on the floor next to Carrie. He hadn’t come back for five years, and he didn't expect Carrie to accept himself immediately. He only wanted to accompany her, move her and compensate her with his actions. Carrie got a mixed feelings. She didn't know what kind of hardships lied ahead for her and Carl. But she knew very well that since she had chosen him five years ago and had been waiting for him for five years, she would never obey the arrangement of her family and divorce him! ...... The next day. Because of the unhappiness between Carrie and her parents, Carrie drove her car to the Su’s mansion with Carl. The birthday party of the old lady was held here, Su’s mansion. Although Su’s family was at second class in JL City, they still have some connections in the business community. All the people invited to the birthday party were in the upper class. Therefore, when Carrie and Carl arrived at the Su’s mansion, there were already many luxury cars parked in front of the door, and the guests entered in order. It was very lively. After they got off the car, Lilian and Reed were already waiting at the door. Seeing the two of them coming, Reed immediately stood in front of Carl, "Carl, this is not a place for you. Don't go in if you still know who you are. Don't interfere with my daughter’s future!" "I'm the grandson-in-law of that old lady. I haven't seen her for so many years. I should go in there and see her." said Carl. Reed frowned, “There’s no need for you to get in. Today is her birthday party. You're empty handed. Are you here to humiliate us?" Carl smiled, "I've prepared a gift, and it's on the way here." Then, he took out his cell phone and texted Katie Wang "Send the handwriting work I wrote casually a few days ago to the Su’s mansion." "Yes, my Lord!" Carl's handwriting works had always been priceless treasures. It could be said that anyone who can get a piece of works from him was able to ensure the safety and wealth of their family. Even if they made a big mistake in the future, they could also preserve their foundation and eliminate all disturbances. If you took it and sold it, the value was more than any antique calligraphy and painting. That was what we called priceless treasures. A moment later, a Hummer quickly turned around the corner and stopped in front of Carl. Katie Wang poked her head out of the window. First, she looked up and down at Carrie Su. She was surprised by her beauty. Then she took out a wrapped scroll and handed it to Carl. Just as she was about to open his mouth, Carl said, "Thank you. Just go back." Knowing that he didn't want to expose himself to Carrie, Katie nodded and drove away. After she left, Lilian Feng said sarcastically, "Carl, It wasn't so long since you came back, and you have already started to hook up with other girls outside? Do you have a sense of shame? Your family was screwed. Can't you change this kind of young master's personality? It really makes me sick." Carl shook his head and said, "It was just the delivery girl. Mom, you're overreacted." Carrie didn't think about it too much. Looking at the scroll in his hand, she said with a slightly surprised voice, "You bought antique calligraphy as a gift?" Her grandma loved antique so much. Collecting antique calligraphy and painting was her biggest hobby. She thought that Carl had heard about it, and then he bought a piece of as a birthday gift for her grandma. Unexpectedly, Carl shook his head, "No, this is a calligraphy work written by an old friend of mine in the army." Carrie was somewhat disappointed. Though she didn't expect Carl to prepare any expensive gifts. Carl just took something written by a friend in the army, which was too perfunctory, wasn't it? You know, it was difficult to know someone powerful in the army. Maybe a major? She couldn't even think about any other people who were powerful. Bring some tea as a gift for her grandma was better than that. What she did not know was that anyone who ever knew something about calligraphy would worship this gift from Mainstay of the Country, Lord of North. Carrie took it from Carl's hand, and said helplessly, "Forget it. After we get in, we can find a quiet place to stay until the party is over. So you don't have to be scolded by her." Carrie took Carl and walked into the courtyard. Lilian still wanted to stop him, but other relatives were talking to her. She was too busy to do that. The guests had arrived in the ballroom of the Su's Mansion. All of them are well-known figures in JL City. It can be seen that the status of Su's family had been elevated in recent years. Carl and Carrie took their seats in a corner. Carl looked around and saw several familiar faces. Among them, the middle-aged man who wandered among many guests and talked with them was Ray Su, the eldest brother of the Su's family and the uncle of Carrie. Ray's eldest son Irvin and his daughter Mandy were standing around him. They were Carrie's cousins. However, Carrie deliberately avoided them. It seemed that she was afraid to meet and talk with these relatives. It showed how much ridicule and hardship she had been received in Su's family over the years. What's more, since entering this old mansion, Carrie's voice had been lowered a lot, as if she were afraid of being noticed by her relatives. Seeing this, Carl held out her hand and gently squeezed it to comfort her. This sudden move made Carrie's body tremble. Subconsciously, she wanted to take his hand out. But when she saw Carl's eyes without any impurities, she felt warmed and let it go. "Carrie, I didn't expect you to be here. I've been looking for you for a long time." At this time, she heard a man's voice coming around. Carrie suddenly felt extremely awkward. "Hank, why are you here?"
