âCan you truly smell the alcohol on him through the phone?â Kong Zhen asked curiously.
Only then did Lu Hui notice the three distinguished-looking middle-aged women in the room. Knowing that sheâd been imprudent, Lu Hui quickly pushed her black-rimmed glasses up her nose and apologized, âIâm sorry; I thought we were continuing with the meeting.â
Yun Nan knew Lu Hui very well. Her staff all had the bad habit of being muddle-headed over small matters; moreover, Lu Huiâs workload had indeed been particularly heavy recently. The silly girl was always thinking about things while she walked, paying no mind to where she was going or the people around her. Seeing that Lu Hui was distressed, Yun Nan decided to help her out. âIâm also curious about how you can smell the alcohol on him through the phone.â
Slightly embarrassed, Lu Hui said softly, âMr. Liangâs manner of speaking is exaggerated and flamboyant when heâs in his normal state, with âgorgeousâ and âlittle ladyâ liberally interspersed in his speech! Whereas drunk, he becomes more seriousâhis way of speaking is more formal and business-likeâwhen heâs lying.â
Yun Nan, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu shared a look. Shi Xiu chuckled, âThatâs true. If you hadnât mentioned it, I wouldnât have noticed.â
Lu Hui hurriedly nodded when she saw that someone agreed with her and added, âThat guyâs harder to deal with when drunk than when sober. Heâs cunning and sly and has numerous tricks up his sleeves.â
Lu Hui was a poor victim of Liang Hanâs schemes and couldnât help but complain a little. However, her casual words caught someoneâs attention. Kong Zhenâs eyes lit up as she stared at the girl. It was the first time sheâd heard someone comment on her silly son like that. âHow refreshing,â she thought.
âHave you found a way to deal with him now?â Kong Zhen asked with a smile, gazing at Lu Hui as if she was a precious treasure.
Lu Hui was slightly reserved before strangers and didnât answer. Seeing this, Fang Xi smiled and uttered, âYeah, Lu Hui. We have to work closely with Mr. Liang in the future, so thereâll indeed be many difficulties if we canât grasp his temperament. We canât let him take too much advantage of us, right?â
Lu Hui saw that Fang Xi was also asking the same question and quickly nodded, stating with great confidence, âThat wonât happen. That guy is difficult to deal with but still has principles when doing things. As long as weâre careful of his verbal traps and flatter him more, there shouldnât be any big problems.â
âWeâve already signed the contract. As for the other small details, weâll give in once if he mentions it five times, but we canât promise him everything. Heâll take a mile if we give him an inch, and he wonât feel a sense of accomplishment if he gets what he wants too easily. Heâheâs cunning and sly, but heâs not a bad person. Heâs just⦠a little childish!â
Shi Xiu laughed hard as she fell into Kong Zhenâs arms and stated, âAuntie, I find that Lu Hui knows Liang Han quite well. I managed to bag the role of this showâs host due to Lu Huiâs advice. It was very effective.â
Kong Zhen patted Shi Xiu and gave Yun Nan a look. âYun Nan, I wonder if this charming little lady has time to show us around.â
Yun Nan smiled and nodded. âOf course. Lu Hui, please give these aunties a tour around the company. Shi Xiu, you can accompany them if you like.â
Shi Xiu jumped up in joy. âAlright! I like this mission; I love showing off the most!â Everyone couldnât help but laugh.
Then, Xu Yun said with slight frustration, âWeâre not here for a tour. We came to discuss something with you guys!â
Before Yun Nan could say anything, Kong Zhen chimed in, âOh, dear, thereâs no rush. We can take a look around first and then talk later. Isnât that right, Lu Ying? Letâs go have a look around first.â
Lu Ying knew what the biggest thing on Kong Zhenâs mind wasâto find her son a suitable wifeâand noticed that Lu Hui seemed to have caught her friendâs eye, so she smiled and uttered, âFang Xi, Iâd also like to take a look at your wedding gown and see what kind of jewelry would suit it.â
Fang Xi blushed and nodded lightly. âIâll go with you.â
Lu Ying glanced at Fang Xiâs crutch and asked, âAre you okay making the trip? It wonât be too hard on you, will it?â
Fang Xi smiled and shook her head. âNo, Iâm used to it. The doctor told me to exercise more, but Ye Kun never lets me walk anywhere.â
Lu Ying chuckled, âHeâd love nothing more than to have you rely on him all the time. Donât listen to him. Exercise more! You have to properly recover so that you can run fast and let my idiot son chase after you.â
Shi Xiu clicked her tongue and remarked, âI must find a mother-in-law like you and Mom in the future, auntie. It doesnât matter how my husband is, but my mother-in-law has to be nice! â
Xu Yun glared admonishingly at her, scolding, âDonât be ridiculous!â
Kong Zhen hugged Shi Xiu and replied, âI think Shi Xiu is right. Choosing a mother-in-law is very important. Of course, choosing a husband is also important! Donât worry about making the wrong choice, Shi Xiu. There are loads of people whoâll help you check!â
Everyone laughed as they walked out together, and Kong Zhen deliberately walked beside Lu Hui. When Shi Xiu introduced the middle-aged women to Lu Hui, she only addressed them by name and didnât point out their identities. Therefore, Lu Hui only knew that Auntie Lu was Fang Xiâs mother-in-law to be, Auntie Xu was Yun Nanâs mother-in-law and Shi Xiuâs mother, and Auntie Kong beside her was just Auntie Kong. Since the lady wasnât the mother-in-law or related to the other girls, Lu Hui would be the one to
accompany her..
