Chapter 1216: What Do You Have?
He had disturbed them. He shouldn’t have agreed to have lunch with them at their apartment!
Sheng Kang couldn’t stomach any more dog food and left without having lunch. He had really disturbed them!
Sheng Kang thought of Gu Qingcheng as he left the Cloud Top Condominium…
He wondered if Gu Qingcheng, who was now in the nether world, knew that his adopted daughter—the person most precious to him… and who he loved so much but didn’t dare to be in a relations.h.i.+p with—was now dating his younger brother, and how he felt about it.
But he guessed that it was for the best!
Looking at the scorching sun outside, Sheng Kang put on his sungla.s.ses and smiled…
Yun Liuli was probably happy being together with Jacob Bellucci, who looked just like Gu Qingcheng!
Gu Qingcheng could probably rest in peace as well!
Sheng Kang sat in his car and took out the mini transmitter bug he removed from the coffee table in the living room at the Cloud Top Condominium from his pocket. Then, he called Fu Huai’an.
“Mr. Fu, I found a bug underneath Miss Liuli and Jacob Bellucci’s coffee table. I think you might have spies among your men since they were able to plant this at the Cloud Top Condominium. It’s time to check the people around you!” said Sheng Kang.
Sheng Kang only started the car after receiving a reply from Fu Huai’an.
After Fu Huai’an hung up, he and Tang Zheng conducted a widespread check on the people around them and in the company. Before long, they managed to weed out most of the spies.
Fu Huai’an also a.s.signed more men to secretly protect Jacob Bellucci.
Time seemed to pa.s.s especially quickly when one was happy.
Before long, filming for Yun Liuli’s movie began.
The bored Jacob Bellucci packed his things and prepared to travel to scenic locations in the country to take photos of the scenery, but he was stopped by Tang Zheng before he could leave.
Tang Zheng wanted Jacob Bellucci to stay in Haicheng for the time being. Otherwise… they wouldn’t be able to save him in time if he met with any harm.
Since Jacob Bellucci treasured his life more, he agreed to stay in the end.
In the days that followed, Jacob Bellucci went back to his former career on Tang Zheng’s recommendation… and took photos for supermodels at fas.h.i.+on shows.
Jacob Bellucci hadn’t photographed people for many years, but he was now a renowned photographer.
Moreover, the models who Jacob Bellucci photographed in the past all had a place on the runway so long as they didn’t end their careers themselves.
Hence, when the chief designer of luxury brand GF met Jacob Bellucci again with Tang Zheng’s help, he was very excited.
“Long time no see, Mr. Jacob Bellucci!” Francis Maunier, the chief designer of the Italian brand GF, greeted him respectfully.
It was clear from the look of confusion on Jacob Bellucci’s face that he didn’t recognize Francis.
“I had the honor of meeting you many years ago when I was just a designer’s a.s.sistant!” Francis reminded him politely.
Jacob Bellucci nodded and shook hands with Francis.
Then, Francis told Jacob Bellucci about the design theme their team had decided on, and the effect they wanted to see in Jacob Bellucci’s photos.
Tang Zheng was actually worried for Gu Qingcheng!
The first job Fu Huai’an a.s.signed Gu Qingcheng as Jacob Bellucci was for a brand like GF. What were they going to do if Gu Qingcheng’s photography skills weren’t up to standard and he was exposed?
However… Fu Huai’an had a point. Brands that weren’t on the same level as GF wouldn’t be able to afford asking Jacob Bellucci to take photos for them.
Although Tang Zheng was worried about Gu Qingcheng’s photography skills, he pretended to be calm and relaxed. The hand in his pocket clenched into a fist as he secretly prayed that Gu Qingcheng would complete the job successfully!
Although Tang Zheng acted as the go-between, he couldn’t accompany Gu Qingcheng to the venue, as GF’s new designs couldn’t be leaked to the public before the fas.h.i.+on show. Upon returning to the company, Tang Zheng went straight to Lu Jinnan’s office. Lu Jinnan couldn’t stand the nervous expression on Tang Zheng’s face.
After signing the last doc.u.ment, Lu Jinnan casually capped his pen and frowned as he stared at Tang Zheng. “You’ve been dawdling in my office for the whole morning now. When are you going to leave?”
“I’m just worried…” Tang Zheng frowned and reached out for his cup on the coffee table, only to realize that it was empty. He picked it up and showed it to Lu Jinnan. “It’s empty. Get your a.s.sistant to pour me another cup of coffee!”
“Another cup? Do you think my office is a cafe? You’ve already had six cups of coffee here. Aren’t you afraid of suffering from caffeine withdrawals?” Lu Jinnan stood up, grabbed his suit jacket that was hanging from his chair, and put it on.
“Where are you going?” Tang Zheng asked.
“Xiaonian’s father said their bathroom light is broken and wants me to replace it!” Lu Jinnan replied.
Tang Zheng’s eyes widened at Lu Jinnan. He had a dumbfounded expression on his face as he spread out his hands and exclaimed, “You’ve been busy for the whole morning, and I’ve been waiting for you for so long that it’s almost lunchtime now. You’re telling me you’re going to your father-in-law’s place to replace a bathroom light?”
“A son-in-law who isn’t ordered around doesn’t have the approval of his parents-in-law!” Lu Jinnan picked up his phone from his big office desk and placed it in the pocket of his suit jacket. He had a hint of a seemingly provocative smile on his lips as he asked, “Why, haven’t you been ordered around by your parents-in-law before? Oh… that’s right! You and You Nainai haven’t gotten your marriage certificate, so her mother isn’t your mother-in-law yet!”
Lu Jinnan then happily walked out of the office…
Tang Zheng was so frustrated that his chest hurt. He gritted his teeth and said to Lu Jinnan, “At least Nainai and I already have a child! What do you have?”
Tang Zheng’s words stung, as he didn’t know that Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian once had a child together.
Lu Jinnan didn’t say anything and pulled open the office door.
“Lu Jinnan, you’re abandoning your friend for your partner!”
Tang Zheng’s words weren’t able to make Lu Jinnan stay, and so, he could only head upstairs to look for Fu Huai’an and have lunch with him. However, the moment he entered Fu Huai’an’s office, he noticed the lunchbox that Lin Nuan had prepared for Fu Huai’an.
Tang Zheng was frustrated.
While eating lunch with Fu Huai’an, he sulked and complained about Lu Jinnan. “This morning, I brought Jacob Bellucci to meet with the chief designer of GF. I was so worried that his photos wouldn’t turn out well. Meanwhile, Lu Jinnan… went to Bai Xiaonian’s house to replace the bathroom light for his father-in-law! He wasn’t worried at all! How infuriating is that?”
After drinking a mouthful of soup, Fu Huai’an looked at Tang Zheng, who was shoving rice into his mouth, and asked, “Have you been having relations.h.i.+p troubles with You Nainai?”
Tang Zheng was speechless.
He just had to bring it up!
“What happened?” Fu Huai’an put down his bowl and pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
“Do you remember… Tuan Tuan and Little Candy’s cla.s.smate, Little Happy?” asked Tang Zheng.
Fu Huai’an nodded.
