Chapter 412: Uninvited Guest

After the sumptuous dinner, everyone bid goodbye to Grandmother Han who was feeling bad about what happened earlier. She invited everyone for dinner for a good time, but instead, the mood suddenly dropped after Cheng Zixing’s thoughtless comment and the power struggle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Cheng Zixing wants to control Xu Nuan as her would be mother-in-law, whereas, Grandmother Han was doing the same to Cheng Zixing as the elder of the family and Cheng Zixing’s mother in law.

Even at the dining table later, the mood was kind of dull and everyone was simply being conscious of each other. The dinner that was supposed to be fun and a good time, became a depressing moment for everyone.

” Ah, why am I feeling so hot? Even with the air conditioner on, I am sweating.” Jia Fei exclaimed in discomfort as she turned up the air conditioner in the car to the highest point. Even though she came in Han Liang’s car earlier, on their way back home, she chose to ride in Han Zihao’s car as she didn’t want to join the newborn couple and witness their disgusting PDA again.

It makes her sick to her stomach.

” I am sure it must be because of the indigestion. You were literally stuffing yourself food with all the food a while ago.” Yuhan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, commented while mocking her. Since he came with Xu Nuan for the dinner, it was obvious for him to join them while returning as well.

.....

Even though Han Zihao did his best to send him back in another car, he firmly refused and joined the couple and Jia Fei back home together.

” What did you say?” Jia Fei, who was driving the car, her grasp on the steering wheel tightened as she eyed the man who was mocking her ‘average’ appetite.

Xu Nuan, who was sitting on the backseat with Han Zihao chuckled to see the two bickering like the teenagers. She leaned onto the side and whispered in Han Zihao’s ears, ” Don’t they look like a couple while fighting like this?”

Han Zihao, who was pissed a while ago, the corner of his lips curled up upon hearing her words. ” Couple? How come I never think about it?” He exclaimed in surprise.

” What do you mean? You...don’t think they look good together?” She asked in confusion.

Han Zihao looked at Xu Nuan in horror and shook his head in firm denial, ” What are you saying? They look....absolutely stunning together.”

” I think we should do whatever we could do to pair them up and turn this noble idea into a reality. What say?” He asked in sheer excitement.

If Yuhan and Jia Fei pair up together and become a couple, then he won’t be worried about Yuhan hitting on Xu Nuan. Not like he doesn’t trust Xu Nuan, but he cannot trust the other men.

His girlfriend is so beautiful, how can anyone resist her charm? This is what concerns him all the time. First Lin Hui and now Yuhan. Xu Nuan sure has a long que of pursuers and he cannot be at peace because of it.

While Han Zihao was forming his imaginary bubble and was preparing to K.O his enemy in love, Xu Nuan was confused wondering why this man is getting so excited about this matter? Does he like to play cupid this much?

~Jiang Corporations~

” Cancel the deals with the current contractors. We will continue with the ones we used to work before.”Grandfather Jiang said as he threw the files on his desk.

The man standing in front of him pursed his lips in worry and looked at the old man in hesitance, ” But Chairman...these contractors, they were personally recommended by the Managing Director, Jiang Ru. How can we suddenly cancel contracts with these people?”

Grandfather Jiang looked at him coldly and said, “So you can’t ignore her suggestion but can overlook my words? Very well!! Seems like you have decided your side already.” He said coldly, making the man tremble in fear.

The man gulped in fear and picked up the files that the old man had thrown on the desk, ” I’ll get on it Sir.” The man answered before politely bowing to him and leaving his office.

It must be the nth time that Grandfather Jiang has canceled the arrangements that Jiang Ru has made and his hostility towards Jiang Ru is becoming obvious to everyone in the office. She is his Granddaughter who is supposed to take over the business, yet he decided to make a comeback and take the charge of the work in his hands, again.

What can be the reason behind his change of mind? Everyone is lost and confused why would he suddenly go back on his words and take all the authority from his Granddaughter and treat her so miserably.

After the man left, Grandfather Jiang took a deep breath and rested his head against his hand. He was tired.

Jiang Ru does not show any signs of backing up and keeps trying to fit her people in the business, whereas, he was giving it all to destroy all of her plans of taking over the company. He will not let the company that he had cherished with so much hard work and love to go into a monster’s hands.

While he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a knock on the door. He frowned and said in a low-tiring voice, ” Come in.”

His secretary pushed open the door and entered the office upon getting his approval. ” Chairman, There is a guest who came to meet you.” He asked.

The old man looked up at him and stared at his secretary with his heavy-lidded eyes and asked, ” To meet me? Didn’t you say that I don’t have any more appointments after this?”

Gu De nodded and answered, ” There wasn’t. However, this person hasn’t taken any appointments beforehand and was now asking for an urgent meeting with you.”

” So you came to me for someone who hasn’t even taken an appointment beforehand? Gu De, looks like you’re also growing old, just like me. How can you be indecisive to come to ask me to meet the person without an appointment rather than rejecting that person right away?” Grandfather Jiang responded in a weak voice.

Even though he was trying to not show his weakness to anyone, his body was indeed getting weak and old. He isn’t as energetic and enthusiastic as before.

However, he has no choice but to work. To protect this company, the thousands of people whose livelihood depends on the company and more importantly, Jiang Yue.

” Chairman, I think it would be better for you to meet that person.” Gu De insisted, causing the old man to frown.

However, seeing his secretary to be insisting this much, he nodded and said, ” Alright. Since you’re pushing me so much, I assume that person must be someone very important, for you to act this way.”
