As Charlie looked at Wendy, who was standing in front of him, he did not sympathize with her even though his impression of her had already changed slightly.
After that, he said faintly, "Pearl River Point is not too far from here. If you take a taxi, you will be able to get there with the starting price."
Wendy hurriedly replied, "Brother-in-Law... I really wish that I could multiply the money that I have on hand now. Alas, I cannot even bear to take the bus, let alone hail a taxi..."
As she spoke, Wendy pointed at the high heels she was wearing as she said, "I was going to walk all the way there so that I can save some money. However, I happened to see you passing by. So, I decided to muster up the courage to come forward and apologize to you. At the same time, I was thinking of asking you i f you could just give me a ride there..."
In fact, Wendy had a very good impression of Charlie now.
Ever since the day before the New Year when many powerful and reputable figures in Aurous Hill had come all the way here to pay their greetings and respect to Charlie, she had realized that she had made a huge mistake when she looked down on Charlie back then.
She also realized that the current Charlie could no longer be compared to the Charlie back then. 3
Moreover, Wendy could also see that Charlie had always been very good to Claire.
Therefore, her current view and opinion of Charlie had already changed drastically compared to before.
So, when she came out today and saw Charlie passing by, she had mustered up the courage to call out to him. 2
She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to turn their hostile relationship into friendship instead.
However, Charlie simply did not have any good impressions of Wendy at all. Hence, he simply said, "I still have something to do, and I will not be passing by Pearl River Point. So, I cannot take you there.”
Although Wendy felt very disappointed, she did not continue pestering him. She simply nodded in a very refreshing manner as she said, "It's okay then, Brotherin-Law. If you have something to do, you can just get busy with your work. I will go over there on my own.”
