Chapter 1273 - What Bad Intentions This Miss Hong and Her Mother Have! (1/2)
This assistant was Lu Jinnan’s number two assistant. He was the one who usually handled Lu Jinnan’s daily living matters…
Lu Jinnan had gotten him to handle Hong Jinyun’s matter because he had left his personal assistant to handle work at the Kaide Corporation.
Lu Jinnan didn’t know if this number two assistant was competent. Asking him to handle Hong Jinyun’s matter was also to test his capabilities. But if this was all he was capable of, Lu Jinnan was planning to have him replaced!
“Jinnan…” There was a pleading tone in Hong Jinyun’s frail voice as she pretended to plead on the assistant’s behalf. “Actually, this isn’t your assistant’s fault. He didn’t tell me which hospital it was, and he also urged me not to come over. I just felt too bad, so I thought of bringing my mother here to apologize…”
Upon hearing this, the assistant knew what Hong Jinyun was up to.
He had stopped Hong Jinyun previously, and this time around, Hong Jinyun still couldn’t hold herself back from going to the hospital?
It seemed like, without Mr. Lu’s monetary assistance, Hong Jinyun was living very poorly!
The assistant slowly spoke, unappreciative of Hong Jinyun’s “kindness”, readily revealing what really happened. “Apologies, Mr. Lu. On the night Mrs. Lu and your father-in-law were hospitalized, I ran into Miss Hong and her mother, Madam Li, who were on their way to apologize. I stopped them at the elevators then! I didn’t tell you about this matter because I thought I had already settled it!”
There was a thin layer of sweat over Hong Jinyun’s palms as she nodded at Lu Jinnan. “Mm, we came here before… I brought my mother here to apologize on the night the incident happened. But I was too anxious, and it was too late when we arrived, so we didn’t disturb them and went back first!”
Hong Jinyun spoke rather slowly, sounding sincere.
The assistant on the other end of the line nearly sneered. He had previously only thought that Hong Jinyun’s mother was a blatant liar, who knew Hong Jinyun was the same…
Since this was the case, the assistant wasn’t planning on sparing Hong Jinyun any face. He directly said, “But, Mr. Lu, I already very clearly told them that the best way to show that they were apologetic was to stop appearing before Mrs. Lu and her father. Else, it might make others feel that they have ulterior motives, that they had, after finding out Mrs. Lu’s baby was fine, thought of coming over to spite Mrs. Lu and were deliberately harming her baby. I already put it this way… If they still went over, then Mr. Lu, you must ponder over what bad intentions this Miss Hong and her mother have!”
Every single word was clearly heard over the speakerphone. Hong Jinyun shook her head nervously at Lu Jinnan. “It’s not like that, Jinnan. I really came here sincerely, wanting to apologize to Miss… Mrs. Lu! I’ll only feel at ease after seeing that Mrs. Lu and her father are fine with my own eyes! It’s undeniable this matter is my mother’s fault!”
“Come over and settle this immediately…” Lu Jinnan instructed over the phone.
“Yes sir, coming right over!”
Seeing Lu Jinnan leisurely hanging up the call, Hong Jinyun’s throat felt swollen and choked. “Jinnan… you know me! I’m really not ill-intentioned like your assistant said. I’m merely here to visit Mrs. Lu’s father and Mrs…”
“Miss Hong!” Lu Jinnan stared at Hong Jinyun, his expression so cold it made one’s heart turn cold. “You don’t have to explain to me what sort of person you are. I’m not interested to know…”
Lu Jinnan then gently held Bai Xiaonian’s hand. “You also don’t have to come to me and act pitiful to gain sympathy. I’m a very cold-blooded person. Your mother made a ruckus at my father-in-law’s place, causing him to be hospitalized and my wife to be injured. On account of our past, I’m merely stopping my financial aid towards you. This is my greatest benevolence to you!”
Lu Jinnan then took a step forward. Hong Jinyun retreated a step under the impact of Lu Jinnan’s fierce gaze, nearly tripping…
