Manager s.h.i.+rizawa sputtered and turned red. But the look on Chu Fan"s face brokered no arguments. He turned to go pack his things immediately. They watched the manager go in a hurry without a word. If someone could not even treat an unknown woman fairly if he was supposed to be in a high ranking position, what more with bigger clients in the future who could be a woman as well.
"d.a.m.n! That is why some women prefer to date the same s.e.x despite the male ratio higher on some countries." Chu Fan thought to himself while thinking about his own mother and how proud she would be if she learned about what he just did.
"Thank you," Han Jie said bowing her head respectfully.
"Don"t mention it," Chu Fan said seriously. He really hoped if she met Suzuki Kyou again she wouldn"t mention it or do anything stupid.
His friend had already been acting differently with Han Jie. Since he was not sure what was their real connection, he might as well not talk about the incident again.
However, in reality, he was not scared of his friend, he was more concerned for s.h.i.+rizawa for being involved with such a woman who seemed to have an eccentric personality.
Chu Fan suddenly remembered something, "Ah! You are a Han right? Are you perhaps closely related to Han Feng?" he asked with a bright smile on his face like he had figured something out.
Han Jie felt suspicious of the sudden question. With the look on Chu Fan"s face as well, he seemed so interested in their family making her feel further uncomfortable to answer his question.
"No way! Do you think I could be related to such a grumpy perverted old man?" Han Jie answered with mock denial. "I need to leave now CEO Chu. Thank you again and it was nice meeting you!" she added before grabbing Jonah to leave immediately.
The poor guard was still trying to figure out how Han Jie could insult her own father like that. He was so surprised by Han Jie"s statement that Jonah just let her drag him out of the parking lot.
Chu Fan watched them go and just let them be. Han Jie actually made a good point. There was no way Han Feng would have a very close relative with Han Jie"s personality. He only knew that the old man had two daughters. Both were not that into the limelight so he never had an opportunity to meet them personally before.
"I need to check this out some more," He walked away from her and called his a.s.sistant to begin recruiting for a new manager and to give him all the details regarding Han Feng"s daughters.
Han Jie discreetly turned her head around to check if Chu Fan had really left. Then she released a deep breath when he finally did.
She released his hold to Jonah and started to walk slowly towards the hotel.
"Miss-" Jonah started to ask as she quickly followed her.
Han Jie was deep in thought, therefore, appearing solemn but she could immediately guess what Jonah wanted to say.
"Ah. I was just protecting father. Did you see his face? He looks weird. What if he is into guys and has a plan to be with father? You know those gay types that are into old men?" Han Jie stated seriously. It was her honest opinion but if Chu Fan would have known about this, he would probably cough blood from anger.
"Huh? How could you say that miss?" Jonah knew what Han Jie"s work was. However, it was still an unacceptable thing to say especially when relating to CEOs.
"Hmph! I have the gaydar, okay? Didn"t you see how he smiled when he asked about father?" She asked which made Jonah think. Han Jie was pleased when Jonah subconsciously nodded with a deep frown on his face.
"See?! You also think something was wrong right? So yeah, let us make sure to keep him away from father," Han Jie declared.
Jonah was still skeptical but could only agree to make Han Jie get out of trouble.
He thought that as long as Han Jie was happy she would be behaved and just follow her father"s wishes moving forward.
How wrong could he be? At that moment, Han Jie was still thinking about escape routes.
After meeting Master Shu she was sidetracked and for a moment forgot why she needed to be in the hotel
Firstly, Han Jie did not want her sister to have a loveless marriage. Second, the charade that her father wanted could backfire. What if the wedding was so near but Han Mei was still not found?
Lastly, it was not good karma to fool people even if there was a way to make things work.
At this time, she also couldn"t sabotage the engagement, she loved her sister too much to do that to her. The scandal that they would cause for canceling could cost a lot.
There had to be a way. She would think of a way to convince her father to break the engagement or convince her future brother-in-law to break it himself. She just had to meet him first before formulating a plan. "I guess I have to get more details from father first…"
