“Forget it. Even if you say so, Cui Lin might not necessarily want to inherit it. It’s not bad to be carefree now, but remember to send someone to keep an eye on him. If he encounters anything, remember to help. That child is quite pitiful. As for this matter, I don’t intend to tell him. He’s not that familiar with Huang Ying. I’m afraid he won’t be able to have a deep relationship with Gu Man.” What Old Master Cui didn’t know was that Cui Lin had already interacted with Gu Man and was even full of admiration for her.
“I understand. Leave this matter to me. In addition, I’ll persuade Jia Ling about Ziwei Industry. Rest early.” With that, Cui Hong left the room.
He walked downstairs and realized that Cui Xuan was the only one sitting in the hall.
He looked around in confusion and asked subconsciously, “Where are your mother and sister?”
“Mom left. Sister went upstairs first.” Cui Xuan answered Cui Hong’s question obediently and stared at him with her grape-sized eyes.
Cui Hong reached out and rubbed Cui Xuan’s head. Among these two daughters, Cui Xuan was the one who made him worry the most.
“The two of them have the same temper. Cui Ya’s temper is actually so bad because of Jia Ling. I must teach Jia Ling a lesson later. You should persuade your sister too. I’ll be grateful if she’s as sensible as you.” Cui Hong looked at Cui Xuan with a gratified expression.
“Actually, Sister is quite good. She’s just not rational sometimes.” Cui Xuan’s expression became serious.
Seeing this, Cui Hong could only nod and say, “Okay, okay. I know she’s very good. I’ll go back first. Be good here and don’t make Grandpa angry again, okay?”
Cui Xuan nodded heavily. “I understand. Goodbye, Dad.”
Cui Hong smiled, picked up the briefcase on the table, and hurriedly walked out.
Cui Xuan glanced at Cui Hong’s back, jumped up from the sofa, and walked upstairs.
When Jia Ling returned home, she did not settle down. Then, when such a huge business fell into the hands of others, she felt indignant.
The Old Master was already unhappy with her. If that recording was really recorded and handed over to the Old Master, she would definitely be unable to bear the consequences of failure, so she had to make the first move.
At the thought of this, Jia Ling took out her phone and found a number she had not dialed in a long time. She clicked on it and dialed. “I’ll give you something. If you do it well, 1 can agree to what we discussed before…”
The sky turned bright. Gu Man sat up in bed. When she returned after washing up, she realized that there was a missed call on her phone.
Before she could remember who the call was, the call came again.
She gently swiped her fingertip to answer the call. “h.e.l.lo.”
Gu Man’s tone revealed a hint of sloppiness. If Cui Hong had heard it before, he would definitely have thought that this girl was arrogant. But now that he heard it, his heart softened. This was his biological niece.
“Gu Man, do you know me? I’m Cui Hong.” Cui Hong’s tone was still a little nervous. He was afraid that what happened yesterday would make Gu Man hate him, so he called Gu Man early in the morning in an attempt to salvage it.
Gu Man was stunned. She had just finished the call yesterday and was calling again today. It was probably because of the recording. “i haven’t handed the recording to Old Master Cui, but if you continue to pester me, it might not be the case.”
“Manman, can I call you that?” Cui Hong was not angry at all at being threatened. Instead, he carefully asked for Gu Man’s opinion, but his words had nothing to do with Gu Man’s.
Gu Man was even more puzzled. She frowned and thought about the purpose of Cui Hong’s call. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
Cui Hong definitely did not call because of a form of address, so she might as well retreat and let Cui Hong take the initiative to reveal his motive this time.
Sure enough, the next second, Cui Hong’s voice sounded a little fl.u.s.tered. “Manman, I already know about your relationship with Old Master Cui. 1 didn’t expect you to be her daughter..”
