Leng Chuanjin wordlessly took two steps behind Xia Sanghuan, trying to let his little girlfriend protect him.
Watching the faint sparks between her elder sister and her boyfriend, the girl could only sigh helplessly.
She took two steps to the side, shielding the man behind her, then looked up at her third elder sister like a puppy.
It was as if she were saying, "Sister, just don't argue with him."
Fu Youqing almost immediately gave in.
She had no choice but to resign herself to turning back to pick up the scattered magazines.
Just as her hand reached for the last magazine, it was picked up by another hand.
Fu Moning had come.
She looked apologetically at her third younger sister. After handing the magazine to her, she walked down the stairs past her.
"Huahua, it's been a long time."
She reached out and hugged her beloved younger sister.
"Why did you suddenly decide to come home?"
"Chuanjin said he wanted to bring me back," the girl said, looking back at the man behind her.
"And I haven't seen you for a long time."
"So I just came back to have a look."
After hearing what her younger sister said, although there was still a flawless and gentle smile on her face, in her heart she had already cursed Leng Chuanjin, the "traitor", dozens of times.
"Alright, alright, stop standing here."
Fu Youqing, who had finished tidying up the magazines, came over and herded them towards the sofa.
She turned her head and nodded at the butler who had been standing aside, indicating for him to bring out the snacks and tea.
"Youqing, why did you start reading scientific research magazines?"
While pouring tea for everyone, Fu Moning suddenly asked.
"What do you think?"
Fu Youqing spread the magazine she had been reading on the table.
"Take a look at who this is!"
Xia Sanghuan's photo was clearly printed on the inside page of the magazine.
"Quickly close it! Don't look!"
The person involved immediately pounced on it reflexively after seeing her own photo and snatched the magazine away.
"But I have others," Fu Youqing said aggrievedly as she took out another magazine from behind.
This newly taken - out magazine was even completely written about Xia Sanghuan.
"Huahua, don't be shy," Fu Moning pushed the jasmine tea, her favorite, in front of her.
"Brother, Dad and I had already read it when the magazine was first published."
There was a smile in her voice.
"Youqing was busy filming a movie recently, so she just started reading it now."
Fu Youqing nodded in agreement beside her.
"So were the orders for five thousand and ten thousand copies all bought by you..."
Looking at the magazines with her own photos on them, the girl closed her eyes in shame.
"We only bought five thousand copies," Fu Moning was stunned for a moment after hearing what her younger sister said.
"The other order..."
Before she could finish speaking, she immediately understood and looked at Leng Chuanjin, who had been sitting silently sipping tea.
"Probably bought by your good boyfriend."
Xia Sanghuan gave him a "really?" look.
The man wordlessly nodded at her.
"... What did you buy so many copies for?"
"Some are for collection," he leaned forward, cut a piece of cake for her and put it on her plate.
He never ate desserts, but because of her, he was already familiar with the flavors of all kinds of snacks and her preferences.
"The rest were distributed to the employees."
"Why did you distribute them to them?" the girl asked in a frenzy.
"Being familiar with the works of the president's wife is one of the requirements in my company," he said matter - of - factly.
"Moreover, the papers you wrote are very helpful to the employees in the pharmaceutical department under me. It's really a bargain for them to get them for free."
Xia Sanghuan couldn't refute him, so she had to shut up.
"By the way, where are Dad and Big Brother?"
"It's the weekend today. Shouldn't they stay at home and rest?"
Hearing her younger sister's inquiry, Fu Moning's movements obviously paused.
Even Fu Youqing put away her nonchalant look.
She looked up from the magazine and seriously glanced at her second elder sister.
Should she tell?
She mouthed at her.
She had already known what had happened that night when her second elder sister splashed wine on that partner.
Although her elder sister didn't intend to tell her at first, she was finally coaxed into saying it.
Fu Moning bit her lower lip hesitantly.
Sensing the suddenly cold atmosphere, Xia Sanghuan couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong?"
She looked up at her two elder sisters.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Leng Chuanjin somehow leaned over and held her hand.
The familiar warmth spread from the palm of her hand all the way to her heart, and her restless heart gradually returned to calm.
"No," her second elder sister suddenly showed a hesitant smile.
Father and Big Brother were now in the company dealing with the "mess" they had created.
If Huahua hadn't come back today, she probably would have been dealing with affairs in her room for the whole day.
...
"I see," after hearing Fu Moning's explanation, Xia Sanghuan fell into deep thought.
Fu Moning looked at her serious profile and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"So, can't we just go and talk to that company?"
After a brief moment of thought, the girl put forward a proposal that no one had ever thought of.
"That man named Kevin is, anyway, just the representative and consultant of their company."
"Aren't the real decision - makers the company's top management?"
"Instead of listening to Kevin's one - sided story, we might as well confront those top - level executives face to face."
There was the usual rationality and sharpness in the girl's voice.
"Huahua, you don't understand this kind of thing," Fu Moning sighed with a headache.
"Generally, the person sent by a company already represents the entire will of the company."
"That is to say, Kevin is just a 'megaphone' responsible for conveying the message."
"Even if we go and talk to the company's top management, we'll only get the same result."
"But how do we know if we don't try?" Xia Sanghuan still didn't want to give up.
"But..."
"I think Sanghuan is right," Leng Chuanjin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Anyway, her assets are also involved in this."
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Let her negotiate with the management of that company."
"What?"
"No way!"
"I think it's okay."
The three sisters of the Fu family said in unison.
Fu Youqing added, "It's just right to use this as an opportunity for Huahua to exercise."
"Youqing, how could you..."
"I'll accompany her the whole time," Leng Chuanjin reached out and put his arm around the girl's shoulder, winking at her under her shocked gaze.
"I'll be fully responsible for her safety."
