Chapter 1124: His Cabbage Was Eaten by the Pig!
As he was used to hearing Han Zhuoli calling him Uncle, the sudden change in address left him feeling uncomfortable.
But upon thinking that Lu Man was now calling him “Dad,” he realized that he really was Han Zhuoli’s father-in-law now.
Nothing wrong with Han Zhuoli calling him “Dad” like Lu Man did!
He couldn’t be calling that joker Lu Qiyuan “father-in-law,” right?
Having gotten his thoughts straightened out, w.a.n.g Juhuai became unaffected and calmly accepted Han Zhuoli calling him “Dad” before saying, “You found the informant?”
Currently, Han Zhuoli felt less confident towards w.a.n.g Juhuai than towards Lu Man.
Because he knew Lu Man would not blame him.
But w.a.n.g Juhuai was Lu Man’s elder. He would support her and not let her suffer.
For the first time ever, Han Zhuoli felt the stress of dealing with his senior. “It’s Han Dongping.”
Because of what Han Dongping did, Han Zhuoli did not bother calling him “Uncle” any longer.
w.a.n.g Juhuai was furious. Thankfully, Xia Qingwei was in cla.s.s and did not know of this matter yet.
She did not let w.a.n.g Juhuai send her to school this time since he’d hired a chauffeur for her and need not do so himself anymore.
w.a.n.g Juhuai had expressed his wish to drive her, but Xia Qingwei had replied with, “What’s the chauffeur for?”
She dismissed w.a.n.g Juhuai just like this.
Hence, Xia Qingwei was not at home right now.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Juhuai was livid. “What’s wrong with Han Dongping?!”
w.a.n.g Juhuai breathed heavily. “Zhuoli, don’t blame me for having issues with him. In my eyes, your family is your family and Han Dongping is Han Dongping. I won’t tolerate him just because he’s a part of the Han Family. I view him as a separate ent.i.ty from the Han Family.”
Hearing this, Han Zhuoli was relieved.
Him separating Han Dongping from other members of the Han Family meant that he would not be biased against the others just because of Han Dongping’s stupidity.
“Is Han Dongping at his office now?” w.a.n.g Juhuai suddenly asked.
“You’re going over?” Han Zhuoli immediately understood w.a.n.g Juhuai’s intention.
“He’s trying to harm my daughter. As a father, I have to stand up for her,” w.a.n.g Juhuai said. “Before that, he looked down on Lu Man for having no strong supporters, so I went to back her up. But now he’s using her, and if I don’t say anything, he’ll think Lu Man is easy to pick on!”
Han Zhuoli knew that w.a.n.g Juhuai was blaming him slightly when he said this.
“We’ll meet at his office.” Han Zhuoli hung up, took his coat off the coat-hanger, grabbed his keys, and went out of the office.
“You’re headed out, CEO?” Zheng Tianming was surprised.
“Cancel all my appointments before noon. Everything remains for the afternoon,” Han Zhuoli said hurriedly and left the company.
Han Zhuoli arrived before w.a.n.g Juhuai did.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Lucky he arrived first or w.a.n.g Juhuai would have been unhappy again.
Lu Man might have started calling him father only yesterday, but w.a.n.g Juhuai had quickly settled into the roles of “father” and “father-in-law.”
Han Zhuoli waited by the entrance of Han Dongping’s company. He would not enter when w.a.n.g Juhuai was not yet here.
w.a.n.g Juhuai arrived shortly after.
Seeing w.a.n.g Juhuai getting off the car with a dark expression, Han Zhuoli quickly went up and called out, “Dad.”
w.a.n.g Juhuai: “…”
Strange though it may be, he’d adapted quickly to Lu Man calling him Dad.
But why was he weirded out by Han Zhuoli switching to calling him Dad after calling him Uncle for years?
At this time, w.a.n.g Juhuai still did not understand that he had a “his cabbage was eaten by the pig” mentality!
