Chapter 104 (1/2)
”What's the matter?” Fu Siming answered the phone. He thought something had happened to her. He was a little anxious in his tone, but he might not even realize it.
”I may not be able to return home on time. The investors at St. Lauren's Cathedral asked me to stay in nice for creation. I can't go for another month. ”
”Why did they detain you?” Fu Siming's voice was low and sounded angry.
Joan Ran is his wife. No one has the right to treat her like this.
”Don't be angry.” Qiao Anran was afraid that he would get angry, so she had to persuade him and said, ”in fact, I don't think there is anything bad. I just want to call you and tell you, after all...”
”After all, what?”
After a long silence, Qiao Anran replied, ”after all, we are husband and wife. I'm afraid you're worried.”
This was very useful for Fu Siming. After a while, he said, ”I'll arrange communication with Itanium, and you can draw the design when you return home.”
”No.” Qiao Anran resolutely rejected his proposal. ”It's easy to cause dissatisfaction from customers at this time. If they can't be satisfied, I'll...”
”Just what?”
Qiao Anran almost slipped his tongue. He immediately changed the subject and said, ”Oh, it's all about my honor anyway. I can't escape immediately, let alone make customers dissatisfied.”
”You...”
Seeing that Fu Siming still didn't seem to be going to agree, Qiao Anran continued to advise: ”didn't you say you were coming to nice? I'll stay here a few more days. Isn't it just right for you to come? ”
Fu Siming thought for a moment. It seemed that there was some truth in it.
”Then take care of yourself and I'll come soon.”
”OK.” Joan ran finished and hung up.
As soon as I hung up, I heard Adrien's voice coming from behind: ”the relationship between designer Qiao and Mr. Fu is really good.”
Joan ran frowns slightly. Doesn't he know it's impolite to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls? However, because of her employer, she could not have a temper attack. She could only say coldly, ”this is my private affair, so I won't bother you.”
Adrien just smiled faintly and asked her after a while: ”so now can designer Qiao stay here to create?”
Qiao Anran nodded confidently, ”no problem, but I hope to arrange two assistants for me.”
”That's nature.”
With Adrien's promise, Qiao Anran was relieved. As long as she seizes the time, it's not a problem to publish the design draft in ten days. Nevertheless, she was still a little uneasy.
She always felt that things would not go so smoothly this time.
In the following days, Joan ran created the design in the studio arranged for her by Adrien. In addition to her, there were two assistants equipped for her by Adrien.
The assistant reassured her and cooperated with her very much. Even she felt a little incredible, and the progress was surprisingly fast.
……
Lu Wanzhi is sitting in the office. At the thought of getting rid of Qiao Anran soon, the sneer from the corners of his lips becomes more and more wanton. That's what she wants. Let Joan dye lose everything she wants bit by bit.
The cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was her father.
”Dad, what can I do for you?” Lu Wanzhi's tone was somewhat alienated and cold. She was not close to her father. Even if she was close, she just showed it to outsiders.
Lu Fu said coldly, ”if you're out fooling around enough, hurry home. What do you do for a man? You are the daughter of Lu's group. Pay attention to your identity! ”
”If that's all you want to say, I'll hang up first.”
Lu Fu was a little excited and shouted angrily, ”your grandpa is ill!”
Lu Wanzhi's eyes trembled slightly. In this family, grandpa is the best to her, but she really... Didn't go back to see him. Why did she fall ill?
……
Lu Wanzhi rushed to the hospital to see his grandfather. He was skinny, lying on the hospital bed, wearing a ventilator and his eyes closed.
”How's grandpa?” Lu Wanzhi went to the hospital bed, slowly squatted down and looked at his unconscious grandfather. His nose was a little sour.
”After falling down, the doctor said that if he couldn't wake up, it would be the last few days...”
”How could...” Lu Wanzhi remembered that he looked very healthy when he saw grandpa last time. How long has it been? How could it be like this?
At this time, the mobile phone rang again. She didn't intend to answer it. At first, it was Adrien. She thought it must be something related to Joan ran. Regardless of her father's anger, she went out to answer the phone.
”What's up?” She sniffed and asked with a forced calmness.
”You don't seem very happy. What's the matter?” Adrien asked her.
”I have something on my side. If you don't have anything urgent, I'll hang up first.”
”Fu Siming is coming to nice, you know?”
Lu Wanzhi was stunned for a few seconds and said, ”I know. Thank you for telling me.”
”Wanzhi, why do you...”
”My grandfather is ill and is in the hospital.” Lu Wanzhi interrupted him, ”it's not convenient for me to tell you more now. I'll thank you when I have a chance in the future.”
Before adiren could speak again, Lu Wanzhi hung up and looked colder and colder.
She can't let Fu Siming find Qiao Anran. At least she has to delay him for a few more days. She looked back at the ward. Grandpa's condition was just an opportunity. She could use it to let Fu Siming stay.
……
Fu Siming called Anjie and confirmed his trip to nice tomorrow. Before he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the name of the caller ID on the screen, he frowned slightly impatiently. Since Lu Wanzhi called him to enter Itanium last time, the two have never been in touch again.
”What's up?” Fu Siming asked in a deep voice.
There was a silence on the other end of the phone.
