Chapter 417 - An Irate Father-in-law (2/2)

Mr. Li picked up the receiver again. His chest was heaving, having reached the peak of his anger, as he barked the order at his daughter. This was the first time he had been this furious.

What was Chu Lui trying to do? Slapping his own father-in-law in the face with embarrassment until it became swollen? Mr. Li didn't need his son-in-law's recognition. He had brought up his daughter and allowed her to marry Chu Lui, keep him company for life and to bear him children. After all he had done, Chu Lui was treating him like this? Did he have any respect at all for Mr. Li, his father-in-law?

Right now, Li Manni was also at a loss. The roaring voice from her father had stunned her. What was happening? Her father was so furious as though he had swallowed a bomb.

At the moment, in Chu Lui's office…

Chu Lui took out his personal phone. His thin lips curled up ever so slightly as he saw the number on the screen. His smile was small but so cold and frosty as it pierced into one's heart. Even his secretary shuddered unconsciously while she sat outside his office.

Strange. Why was she experiencing a hair-raising creepy feeling?

”What is it?” Chu Lui pressed the button and answered the call. He placed the phone between his shoulder and ear as his fingers continued to type swiftly on the keyboard.

It was such a cold greeting. Li Manni folded her hands at her elbows.

”Lui, my father wants us to go back later. He seemed unhappy.”

”Okay.” Chu Lui cut Li Manni off before she could finish and hung up. The line went dead with a click. He tossed his mobile phone casually on the table as he continued to type on the keyboard. The smile on his lips remained.

No one could read his mind now; he was obviously smiling, but it was indescribably cold.

Knock, knock. Suddenly, Chu Lui heard someone knocking on his door. His hands stopped as he called for the person to enter.

Du Jingtang strode in with a wide grin on his face. His eyebrows looked like they were dancing in joy.

”It's done.”

Chu Lui straightened his back. Rather than asking, he sounded assertive.

”Of course.” Du Jingtang patted his chest. ”You have nothing to worry about when I'm involved. I went straight to their boss. Naturally, he chose us, not the Li family. He is not an idiot. They may have offered him a good deal in order to clinch the contract, but that doesn't matter. The Li family's infrastructure is up to their standard, and yet they are not as reputable as we are. Only a fool would give up on a big fish in favor of small bait.

Du Jingtang continued as his smile lessened. ”Brother, no matter what, he is your father-in-law. I'm afraid he won't let you off after suffering such a huge loss because of us. What are you going to do?”
