Chapter 11 (1/2)

After returning from the welcoming dinner, Grandfather Qin personally called Fu s.h.i.+jun and invited him over.

If it wasn't Fu s.h.i.+jun unexpectantly helping Su Zui in pa.s.sing the proposal, then he's afraid that Su Zui could have already been labeled as ”incapable” just now.

While their family and Fu family's relations.h.i.+p is good, but a big part of it is due to his and Grandfather Qin's personal friends.h.i.+p. In actuality, the younger generation aren't that close.

For Fu s.h.i.+jun to help Su Zui to this degree, regardless of reason, he still needs to express his thanks.

Fu s.h.i.+jun didn't s.h.i.+rk and delightfully agreed to eat a home cooked meal at Qin family's home in two days.

Under Grandfather Qin's orders, all the servant in the Qin family became busy for the arrival of the precious guest.

On the appointed day, Grandfather Qin pulled Su Zui and his uncles to the living room to wait.

At this time, a sudden phone call arrived.

Grandfather Qin had thought it was Fu s.h.i.+jun and quickly took out his cellphone, only to find out it was Su Chengzhi. His face quickly became cold.

He impatiently picked it up: ”What is it?”

Su Chengzhi opened his mouth and said: ”Father-in-law, I heard today that you have invited Mr. Fu over to thank him on behalf of Xiao Zui. How can you not inform me at all? As his father, I need to be present too in this formal event.”

Grandfather Qin coldly snorted: ”You know how to be Xiao Zui's father at this time? How come you didn't remember when he left!”

Su Chengzhi thickened his face and said: ”How can there be grudges between father and son? Didn't I only say those words in a moment of anger? I am already at the entrance. Please open the door to let me in(1).”

Grandfather Qin choked by his feeling of disgust and directly hanged up.

Just when he prepared to order the bodyguards to chase Su Chengzhi away, he heard a servant reported: ”Mr. Fu's car had just arrived. Mr. Su is also at the door.”

Grandfather Qin paused for a moment before unwillingly said: ”Invite them all in.”

In front of guests, he doesn't want to stir up any arguments and disrespect his guests.

Su Chengzhi quickly came in after Fu s.h.i.+jun.

What was unexpected was that not only did he came, but also brought another person!

When Grandfather Qin looked at Su Zhimo's face, his blood pressure directly rose up and almost used his old arms to hit someone right on the spot.

He invited a precious guest to dinner for his blood related grandson. Su Zhimo being a mistress's daughter, who gave her enough face to come to this type of event?

But with Fu s.h.i.+jun present, he didn't lose control of himself and can only slowly press down on his anger and pretend Su Zhimo was empty air.

Su Chengzhi was totally unaware of how mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded he was acting and pushed Su Zhimo forward: ”Xiao Zui. You haven't seen your sister for so long. Did you think of her?”

Su Zui: ”......”

He indifferently ignored the words made by the person wearing the green hat. His gaze pa.s.sed by the father and daughter pair and gave Fu s.h.i.+jun a smile.

Fu s.h.i.+jun's gaze stayed on his dimples for a while before saying: ”Apologies. I let you guys wait. If I hadn't got off late tonight, I could have gotten here earlier.”

Su Zui: ”It was no bother. Eating at this time is still early.”

Speaking to his son yet getting no response at all, Su Chengzi's face cannot help but became green: ”......”

On the contrary, Su Zhimo's face was indifferent and didn't expose anything.

Today, she dressed herself bright and colorful enough to move people as she did before. Her skin was porcelain white and tender. Standing under the lights, she looked as if she was born to attract the other s.e.x's gaze.

Yet, the two young handsome male present were already minding their own businesses and exchanging pleasantries with each other without giving her a single look.

When had Su Zhimo been ignored to this degree? Her heart was full of discontent.

But remembering her purpose today, she quickly raised her spirits.

She looked at the dressed up Su Zui looking n.o.ble and proud, and her eyes flashed with disdain.

Even if one wrapped themselves with precious gemstones, it couldn't cover up the defects.

With the precious guest's arrival, the dinner quickly started.

Grandfather Qin used his tea as a replacement for wine to toast to Fu s.h.i.+jun: ”My grandson is still falling short. In the future, I will still need to trouble you to take care of him. Xiao Zui, you should also toast your Uncle Fu a cup.”

Su Zui held a wine gla.s.s. His expression was as obedient as it could be and said: ”Thank you uncle.”

Normally, Fu s.h.i.+jun couldn't accept the activity of guiding the younger generation because it was too much trouble.

But this time was different.

He drank the gla.s.s of wine directly: ”What trouble? This is how it should be.”

Grandfather Qin haven't said anything before Su Zui's oldest uncle suddenly cut in: ”You can't say it like that President Fu.”

He smiled as if he was very concerned for Fu s.h.i.+jun and said: ”Taking care of the younger generation is a good thing, but President Fu also needs to consider your own benefit. You mustn't compensate too much in the end or as Xiao Zui's relatives, we could feel very apologetic.”

Su Zhimo's warm voice said: ”Uncle, you also can't say with such certainty. Brother has been working hard lately. What if he has done well?”

That day when she discovered Fu s.h.i.+jun pa.s.sed Su Zui's proposal, she had indeed panicked for a while.

But after thinking it thoroughly, she became calm.

Su Zui was just a layman who had ventured out of his cave. Even if he worked with his life, how can the proposal he made be any good?

It's most likely that Fu s.h.i.+jun had considered Grandfather Qin's face so he pa.s.sed Su Zui's proposal.

In reality, Grandfather Qin must have also understand how the proposal was pa.s.sed in his heart.

Otherwise, he couldn't hold such a grand feast at home for Fu s.h.i.+jun.

Su Zhimo laughed coldly in her heart.

She had especially pestered Su Chengzhi to bring her along to the Qin family was because she wanted to see how Su Zui would look like after the curtain has been lifted!

Fu s.h.i.+jun can help him once or twice, but once there wasn't anyone to help, being a talentless trash, Su Zui will inevitably decompose in mud as his fate dictates.

Immediately, there was someone agreeing with Su Zhimo: ”That's right. Big brother, you can't always attack children's enthusiasm. If the first time isn't successful, there's always the second time. If the second time isn't successful, there's always the third time!”

This person magnanimously said to Fu s.h.i.+jun: ”How about this? President Fu, this time I will invest in Xiao Zui's proposal. You don't need to hesitate on its execution. Whatever you earn is yours and I will pay for the loss. We can't have you do stuff for free and loss money.”

Su Zhimo smiled while saying: ”I had earned a somewhat decent amount of money from investing before and can also help out.”

Someone asked: ”How much is somewhat decent?”

Su Zhimo faintly laughed: ”Not much. It's had only pa.s.sed a million.”

To the people sitting in this table, this number undoubtedly doesn't count as anything.

But it was enough to pull around the same age Su Zui into the mud.

The original person who was casually asking had some surprised in their eyes: ”That isn't bad. Zhimo hadn't even graduated yet and she's already so talented. In the future, she will definitely have boundless prospects!”

”And to know how to help with brother's worries. Family should be just like this and mutually help each other out.”
