Her Majesty

Chapter 44 Burn Incense

After coming out of Mayor Chang's house, it was already completely dark. Facing the cool night wind, I

let out a long breath. It was too much pressure to stay with Mayor Chang.

I felt a sense of freedom coming out of his house.

But was I really free? God knows.

I did not go home directly, but drove the car to Grace’s cemetery. A ray of moonlight was slanting in

Grace’s picture, she seemed to be smiling at me.

I sighed, squatted down and gently stroked the cold tombstone, whispered, “Grace, I'm sorry, I didn't

give you revenge this time. Housin is still free, but you rest assured, sooner or later that beast will knee

in front of you to repent. I hope you in heaven will forgive me about my decision."

The Grace on the picture was still smiling at me.

My nose was so sour that I rubbed my eyes with my hand and continued, “Today I recognize Mayor

Chang as my godfather. I know he is trying to use me, but I have no choice but to be the godson in

order to take avenge for you. Grace, if you were alive, would you look down on me and stop me to do

so?"

"We talked a lot. He asked me..."

I told everything to Grace. Mayor Chang said these words are not allowed to say to anyone, but Grace

was death.

After talking with Grace, my heart felt comfortable, and I directly drove car back to Ben’s villa.

Ben’s friends were not there, only Ben and Sabina in the big villa. Ben was lying on sofa to watch TV.

Sabina was taking her knife to carve on a piece of wood. There were a few small animals already

carved on the tea table beside her, which were lively and vivid.

Ben greeted to me, “Justin, you are back. How is it, why did Mayor Chang find you?"

I sat opposite him on the sofa and said slightly, “He said that he wanted to recognize me to be his god

son.” “What!” Ben stood up from the sofa, with a face of joy.

I said feebly, “He said he wanted me to be his god son, and I agreed."

Ben was stunned for two seconds and suddenly laughed, shouting, “Great, with Mayor Chang, no one

still dare to fight with us in S city.”

I looked at him without saying anything, but I made up my mind that if anything happen, I would take

the responsibility. It would be hard to say whether Mayor Chang and Jacob Jiang would win.

Ben wanted to drink when he was happy. He pulled me to drink a bottle of white wine again, and then

he lied on the sofa and fell asleep.

After the rest of the night, I'm as fresh as a dog.

Looking at the sunny world outside, I felt a surge of pride in my heart. No matter how dangerous the

future was, I must be brave to face it.

At noon I again received a call from mayor's secretary. He said that the mayor wanted to go to Xiang

Mountain temple to burn incense on the 15th day of this month, and asked me to go together. I

hurriedly said to Secretary Liu, “Don't worry, I will drive to the mayor's home to pick him up in advance."

Secretary Liu said with a smile, “Don't forget me when you get rich."

I gently said, “I won’t, you and the mayor are a great help in my life, I will repay you well in the future.”

Secretary Liu smiled, “Well, don't say that. Don’t refuse me if I ask you for help. I would ask mayor if he

would like you to pick him up."

I hurriedly said, “Thank you. I will do things well once you asked me."

Secretary Liu chuckled and hung up the phone without a word.

About a minute later, the phone rang again, saying that the mayor had asked me to drive down to his

building at 10 a.m. on the 15th and wait for him. Of course, I said yes.

It was sunny on the 15th day, I drove my car to Mayor Chang's house. I was surprised that secretary

Liu came earlier than I. I hurriedly ran to him and asked, “Secretary Liu, isn’t me to drive the mayor to

the temple?"

Secretary Liu smiled and said, "Yes, but I have to come. I am 24 hours on call a day, just like the

shadow of the mayor." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

While we were talking, Mrs. Chang and Mayor Chang walked out. When she saw me, she said to me

happily, “Justin, you are handsome today.”

I hurriedly ran to her and helped Mrs. Chang, and said with a smile, “God mother, you look good too.

This cheongsam looks good on you.”

Mrs. Chang was happy after hearing my words, said with a smile, “You spoke sweetly, I am old, but you

phrased me.”

I smiled, did not answer, turned to ask Mayor Chang, “Godfather, shall we leave now?"

Mayor Chang nodded dignifiedly, I quickly ran to open the door and said, “Godfather, godmother please

get in the car."

Secretary Liu's car led the way in front, and my car followed slowly behind. From time to time, I chatted

with Mayor Chang and his wife. The distance between us was unconsciously closed a lot.

Xiang Mountain was full of osmanthus trees, which would bloom in this time. The fragrance could be

smelt at the foot of the mountain, probably it was the reason it was named.

By the time we arrived, there had been more than a dozen luxury cars parked at the foot of the

mountain, and a large number of men and women dressed in expensive clothes were gathering

together to chat. As soon as they saw our car stopped, a swarm of people rushed over, which shocked

me and immediately stopped in front of Mayor Chang.

Secretary Liu whispered in my ear, "Don't be nervous, they are all businessmen in S city. They heard

that the mayor was coming to burn incense today, so they come over and join in the excitement."

"Oh." Then it dawned on me that they wanted to have a closer relationship with the mayor.

Mayor Chang winked at Secretary Liu, who immediately stepped in front of the group and said, "What

do you want to do?"

The men stopped and a paunchy guy stood out with a flattering smile on his face and said, "Secretary

Liu, I am Dazhu Wang. Don't you know me? We, we are a group to visit, did not expect to meet Mayor

Chang. What a coincidence."

Secretary Liu smiled and said, “Oh, so it is. Mayor Chang wants to go to the temple to burn incense, we

can go together."

They crowded around us and greeted the mayor warmly. The common feature was that they must bring

the name of their company when introducing themselves. For example, “I am Li XX from Chaoyang

Technology Co., Ltd.” in order to give the mayor a deeper impression.

The mayor nodded, then the big fat man who had talked earlier pushed his way into Mrs. Chang's face

and said with a smile, "Oh, Mrs. Chang, you look good today. Your bag looks quite heavy, or I'll help

you carry it.'

Mrs. Chang, however, did not appreciate it. "No," she said faintly, "It is all right to have my god son to

carry my bag."
