Chapter 624 - 624 Here's Your Red Packet
624 Here’s Your Red Packet
“What?” Lu Guo was stunned.
“Why would the children interrupt while the adults were talking?” Ji Yan sounded cold as he said in a deep voice, “Do you think that I should interact with your children just because I’m your junior? Am I not worthy to talk to you?” Didn’t lu Guo say that Lu Nuannuan was a child? In that case, he shouldn’t use the child as a shield.
Lu Guo shot himself in the foot. He was speechless for a moment. How could he answer that? He was not qualified to be on the same level as Ji Yan. How could he say that Ji Yan was the same level as his children? He didn’t dare to answer that!
“You must be joking, Mr. Ji.” In the end, Lu Guo could only put on a stiff face and say, “It’s Nuannuan’s fault. Don’t take it to heart, Mr. Ji.”
“Mr. Ji, today is a happy occasion for Lu Shaoyang and my daughter, Su Ling.” Seeing how Lu Guo was in a difficult position, Su Ling’s father could not stand it anymore. The Su family and the Lu family were about to become in-laws. For the sake of Su Ling’s future, he could not stand by and watch. He braced himself and smiled, “Mr. Lu is so happy that he’s muddled. On my account, please don’t take it to heart.”
Ji Yan didn’t say anything. He looked at Su Ling’s father quietly. There was no emotion in his deep eyes. Su Ling’s father couldn’t help but tremble. Sweats broke out on his forehead uncontrollably. It was as if he was being stared at by a beast. Ji Yan was a young man. Why did he have such a terrifying aura? At first glance, it was almost irresistible. It made Su Ling’s father seem so inferior to him despite being in the business worlds for ages.
“What right does Mr. Su have in my office?” After looking at Su Ling’s father for a while, Ji Yan smirked coldly and asked, “What right does Mr. Su have to make me give mercy?”
Mr. Su’s expression changed. Did he have any right? No. The Su family was not qualified to have anything to do with Ji Corporation. Yet… he was just being polite. For a moment, he went speechless.
At that moment, Shen Hanxing reminded him, “It’s going to get windy. Mr. Lu, watch out if the monetary gift gets blown away.”
Lu Guo pursed his lips. He was reluctant to pick up the money, but he did not dare to go against Ji Yan. He hesitated. If the wind blew the money away, wouldn’t he chase after the ten-yuan note in front of the guests later? Lu Guo’s expression changed at the thought of that scene. He could not afford to lose face! It would be embarrassing anyway. Why should he wait for things to get out of hand? Lu Guo gritted his teeth and made up his mind! He endured the humiliation with his face blushed. He bent down to pick up the note and forced a smile. “Thank you for your kind offer, President Ji. Please come in.”
Shen Hanxing smiled. Holding Ji Yan’s hand, she walked in between the two families as they made way for them. When she passed by Lu Guo, she stopped in her tracks and took out a red packet from her small, exquisite handbag. She then placed it in Lu Guo’s hand. As everyone looked at her, Shen Hanxing’s smile blossomed like a flower. “This is a small gift from Mr. Ji and I. We were just joking. Did you take it seriously?” She pretended to be surprised and said, “Mr. Ji is still young, so he’s a little playful. You won’t take it to heart, right?”
This was such a great humiliation. How could he not care? Lu Guo clenched the red packet so tightly that the veins on his hand popped. He wished he could throw the red packet at Shen Hanxing’s face! If they had prepared the red packet, why didn’t he take it out earlier? Even if there was only one yuan in it, no one would be able to see it in the red packet. At least it was decent! Why did he bend down to pick up the ten yuan?
Lu Guo was so angry that he was trembling. He glared at Shen Hanxing as countless malicious thoughts flashed across his mind. At that moment, Ji Yan looked down from above. His emotionless black eyes were like the iceberg in the deep sea. The coldness would make one chill. Lu Guo trembled with anger. He tried hard to cool his anger down. He suppressed all his emotions and shamefully revealed a fawning smile. He said, “It’s okay. Thank you, President Ji and Mrs. Ji. Please come in.”
