Cui Shiwan was taken aback, then gently pushed Xiang Wan's hands away and casually said "Stop fooling around," successfully drawing Chen Xiangmei's attention to her.
In her eyes, Xiang Wan was inferior to Lou Junxuan in every way. Even her jealousy was weak and timid. It would be a piece of cake for her to win over Cui Shiwan.
"Junxuan is just too career-oriented. He'll definitely be back in the evening. I'll call and ask. You have some tea first."
As Chen Xiangmei spoke, she ran to the side to make a phone call, and soon came out with fruit, placed it on the coffee table, and warmly invited Cui Shiwan to eat the fruit.
Lou Jing, no longer willing to feign politeness, said to Xiang Wan, "You, come to the study with me for a moment."
Xiang Wan glanced at Cui Shiwan, and seeing her nod in agreement, she stepped forward and followed Lou Jing to the study on the second floor.
As soon as the door closed, a piece of jade was thrown at her face.
Xiang Wan caught it, examined it for a moment, then put it in her pocket and said "thank you" to Lou Jing, successfully seeing the old man, who was over fifty years old, change his expression.
"Lou Xiangwan, if you dare to cause trouble in this cooperation between the Lou family and the Cui family, don't blame me for disregarding our father-son relationship!"
"It's as if you've ever felt a shred of fatherly affection."
Xiang Wan leaned against the door, nonchalantly saying, "Didn't you see? I'm Cui Shiwan's boyfriend. Shouldn't you be glad we're together right now, as it's beneficial to the cooperation between our two families?"
What do you want to do?
"If I am formally incorporated into the Lou family's management, I might even marry Cui Shiwan and, with the help of the Cui family, continue to make the Lou family prosperous."
"Don't even think about it! My Lou family has always had only one heir, and that person will never be you, never!"
Lou Jing was more clear-headed than anyone else on this point.
Having many children and grandchildren does not necessarily bring good fortune. This is a family motto passed down from his ancestors, ingrained in his very being; how could it be easily changed?
No matter how many colorful flags flutter outside, the red flag at home must never fall.
No matter how many illegitimate children he has, only the children of his legal wife can inherit the family business. Even if he dies, he will never give any chance to his illegitimate children when he adopts orphans.
Lou Jing, if you say he's affectionate, it's only towards his wife and the children he acknowledges. If you say he's heartless, it's towards all the other women he slept with and his illegitimate children.
Therefore, the original owner was destined not to gain his approval, and Xiang Wan was well aware of this. She just wanted to hear his words in person so as to put an end to the original owner's insignificant obsession.
Having heard what she wanted to hear, Xiang Wan stopped talking and opened the door to leave.
A hint of determination flashed in Lou Jing's eyes, but Xiang Wan didn't see it.
Even if she saw it, she wouldn't care.
We were never meant to be family, so why make things difficult for ourselves?
Cui Shiwan and Shen Xiangmei chatted happily, but when they saw Xiang Wan, they both changed the subject.
Xiang Wan didn't take it to heart. She walked over to Cui Shiwan and poured her tea and water, being extremely attentive.
The moment the door was unlocked, the living room fell silent.
Lou Junxuan's eager gaze froze when he saw Xiang Wan.
