Chapter 63. Liu Duanhe sat in his office, his face...
Liu Duanhe sat in his office, a faint smile still on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.
He sat upright in his chair, yet he appeared even more aloof than Liu Rumeng and Wu Xiuyi, who were standing. Apart from their family, only Secretary Wei stood to the side after the two of them entered the office, creating a confrontational situation.
Her slender, fair fingers intertwined, resting on the table, and she tilted her head gently, asking, "Did Mom and Dad need something from me?"
Even though she received a judgment of defeat, and her father had already published his will, which would soon be signed by Liu Duanhe, taking over all the assets accumulated by the Liu family over generations, Liu Rumeng did not want to accept it. Nothing is irreversible.
Liu Rumeng said, "Aren't you going to stand up and talk to Daddy?"
Liu Duanhe's lips curled slightly. He pushed back his chair, stood up, and looked down at Liu Rumeng. "How about this, Dad?"
He didn't want to look up, so he stiffened his neck and took a few steps back unintentionally. It was only today that Liu Rumeng seemed to realize that Liu Duanhe had grown up. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his face had begun to lose its boyish immaturity and begin to show the mature and handsome features of an adult man.
Wu Xiuyi hadn't said anything at first, but upon seeing this, her eyes glazed over for a moment. She vaguely seemed to remember Liu Duanhe as a child, rushing to her high heels in a childish voice, wanting her to hug him.
Did she hug him at that time?
She couldn't remember.
Wu Xiuyi was too lazy to stand with Liu Rumeng, so she casually sat on the sofa, her bright red lips curving into a smile. "Xiao Wei, get me something to drink."
Secretary Wei did not go immediately, but turned to look at Liu Duanhe first.
Liu Duanhe nodded and said, "Go."
The two wouldn't be so ruthless as to kidnap him in his office in public; that would be too stupid. They haven't reached the point where they'd fight to the death.
Ever since Secretary Wei told him that his mother had contacted gang members, he had been paranoid. Although Liu Duanhe found his nervousness amusing, he wouldn't relax too much, especially since there were bodyguards all around the door.
His father and mother, who are close to him, are probably aware of this, but like most people, they likely believe he is preparing for the will.
After Secretary Wei opened the door to prepare drinks and desserts, he left it wide open instead of closing it.
Liu Rumeng turned her head to speak, but met the curious gaze of someone in the secretariat.
A sudden pang of unease gripped him, and he gave Liu Duanhe a deep look. "Xiao He has made a good choice as a secretary."
Liu Duanhe nodded in agreement, "I think so too, so I plan to arrange for Xiao Wei to be placed in a position where he can be better trained in a few days."
"Tianhe Biotechnology in Taicheng and Tianhe Culture in Jincheng are both good."
Liu Duanhe spoke with a pointed tone.
Liu Rumeng's expression changed, but she forced a smile and said, "It would be a waste to put someone as talented as Xiao Wei to work as an assistant in my place."
He chuckled, his deep eyes like those of a beast in human skin, yearning to devour its prey. The smile didn't reach his eyes; only coldness remained. "It's a good opportunity for him to learn from his father, to share your burdens, and to allow you to retire early and enjoy your old age."
Liu Rumeng's face twitched, and anger visibly appeared on her face. "That's unnecessary."
He seemed to be divided into two parts: one part could calmly analyze whether Liu Duan and this unfilial son were intentionally provoking him, while the other part couldn't help but be furious because his sore spot had been hit.
Wu Xiuyi coldly observed the father and son's interaction. Liu Rumeng was clearly at a disadvantage. Ever since the old man found out about the huge losses, Liu Rumeng's temper had become increasingly impatient and restless.
