139 Money Monger (2/2)
”That Xiao bastard, I'd like to see what you can do this time. You sure don't cherish your life now that you made the foolish decision to fight me, hahaha.”
Fang Changlei laughed jas he watched the news and released all the frustration that had been building up inside him of late. This time, he wanted the Luo's Workshop to be hit badly with no chances of getting back up on its feet.
The office door opened suddenly, and Fang Shulan walked in still in her school uniform. She glanced at him quizzically and said: ”What's so funny dad, I can hear you laughing down the hallway.”
”A great thing, of course!” Fang Chenglei's eyes were filled with affection as he saw his daughter walk in.
”' Luo Workshop top brass threaten and blackmail reporters and fake evidence to rebuild their reputations through lies.' Dad, this is another one of your plots again, right?” Fang Shulan immediately guessed this news had something to do with her father.
Fang Chenglei only smiled at her and didn't say a word, implying that he didn't need to explain.
”That's so amazing, dad. The Luo Workshop won't be a match for you, they'll go bankrupt real soon, and our Taste Buds will monopolize the market.” Fang Shulan gave him a thumbs-up, beaming.
Fang Chenglei lifted his head and said cockily: ”That Xiao kid from the Luo Workshop is still too young to be my opponent. It only takes one little trick up my sleeve, and his arms are already tied up.”
That Xiao kid?
Fang Shulan stared blankly for a moment as a name flashed across her mind—Xiao Luo.
She recalled the attack on Chu Yue at the Wild Boar Ridge. It took her a long time to get over it completely. If those mercenaries left such a strong impression in her mind, then her memory of Xiao Luo was no less traumatic.
So when she heard her father said ”that Xiao kid,” she immediately associated it with the man that had once controlled her through fear. She would never forget the time when Xiao Luo caught her by her neck. That experience was as if the god of death had walked right by her. It still sent chills down her spine, every she recalled the scene.
She shook her head as she desperately tried to remove those thoughts from her head and whined to Fang Changlei: ”Dad, I'm out of money.”
She finally spoke her mind.
”Didn't I just give you 100,000 half a month ago?” Fang Changlei's expression hardened.
”I won't explain where the money went, but I just don't have money anymore. Deal with it, Dad!” Fang Shulan turned her head away.
Fang Changlei shook his head and once again submitted to his daughter's demands: ”Okay, okay, since dad's in a good mood today, I'll send another 100,000 over, but…”
”Yay”
Fang Shulan immediately hugged him around his neck and gave him a big kiss on his cheeks and laughed joyfully: ”Dad, you're the best in the world!”
Fang Changlei's heart melted immediately. There was a saying that daughters were all lovers of the father in their past lives, and under the spell of Fang Shulan's affectionate, he had no more heart to worry about money and could only warn her out of habit, saying, ”Don't spend it all in one day!”
”I'm not afraid since dad has all the money in the world. Even if my brother and I tried, we wouldn't be able to use it all up in our lifetime. Dad, I'll head out now, don't forget to send the money to my account, I'll need it tonight.”
”You little money monger!”
Fang Changlei shook his head in resignation but still kept an affectionate smile on his face.
