“I didn’t call him.” Le Yao glanced at Han Guosheng. “We’ve been separated for a long time.”
“You…call him and ask him to come over for dinner.” Han Guosheng frowned. He wanted to participate in the Yuehu Bay project in the east of the city, but if it were a normal bidding process, Shengli Group’s chances of winning were slim. However, that project belonged to Nangong Group, so if Nangong Jue agreed, they could get it directly. Even if they only got half of the project, the company could still take a step forward.
"If you want to fight, fight yourself." Le Yao turned and went to the restaurant. Although she didn't know why Han Guosheng insisted on seeing Nangong Jue, she guessed that he must have something to ask of that man.
"That brat..." Han Guosheng took a deep breath, then actually picked up the landline and dialed Nangong Jue's number. Fortunately, it was answered quickly. "Your Excellency, this is Han Guosheng." It was embarrassing for a father-in-law to call his son-in-law "Your Excellency," but he just couldn't help it.
"Mr. Han, is there something you need?" Nangong Jue's voice was cold. "I'll give you one minute."
Han Guosheng's breath hitched again, but he managed to compose himself: "I wanted you and Alan to come back for a meal together, but Alan was stubborn and said she hadn't told you..."
"Let's eat..."
"My lord, Alan has a bad temper. Please be lenient with him if he does anything wrong. If you have time, come over. Alan's aunt is here. Let's all sit down together."
"Alright then." Nangong Jue actually agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Han Guosheng still felt a little incredulous. He had tried to contact Nangong Jue before, but his assistant always answered the phone and rarely spoke to him directly.
Now that they've agreed, they'll definitely come. If we can have a good talk with them later, the project will have a very good chance of success.
At the dining table, Le Yao had already started eating. She hadn't eaten breakfast and was really hungry.
"Han Binglan." Zhu Jiaojiao couldn't stand it anymore. Standing by the dining table, she frowned at Le Yao. "How can you have no manners at all?"
"How am I ill-mannered?" Le Yao had already eaten half a bowl of rice, and the hunger in her stomach had disappeared. She then picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth. "Tell me."
"You started eating before everyone else had even started? Is this your manners?"
"Is it not allowed? You're dawdling, I thought you weren't hungry. Besides, yelling at your cousin like that, your manners aren't much better."
"you……"
"Alright." Cui Li glared at her daughter, then looked at Le Yao, "Alan, I heard the Duke wants a divorce?"
"Auntie, you must have misheard me. I'm the one who wants a divorce." Le Yao finished all the rice and drank a bowl of soup, and was almost full.
"You? Divorce him? Hah."
“Auntie, times have changed,” Le Yao smiled. “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
“Since that’s the case, I won’t say anything more.” Cui Li nodded. “However, it’s not good to keep getting on the trending topics. After all, you still have the blood of the Cui family, and we can’t afford to lose face like that.”
"Auntie, you're making it sound like the Cui family cares about me a lot." Le Yao rolled her eyes elegantly.
"Alan, how can you talk to your aunt like that?" Han Guosheng's face darkened. "Stop eating for now, the Duke will be here soon."
"Him? Here?" Yue Yao exclaimed in surprise. "Are you kidding me?"
