Stop There, Daddy

“President Wen, did something happen? Or is there something wrong with the Lu group?” asked Vice-president Liang concernedly at the sight of the uncharacteristic look on Wen Shuyue’s face.

Wen Shuyue shook her head. “It has nothing to do with our company. President Gu back-stabbed Manis. I think Manis will not let us off the hook easily.”

“That shouldn’t be the case. A project transfer is a normal thing. As long as the two sides have reached an agreement, there won’t be any problems. I think those people in Manis have made things clear. I mean, why else would they agree to it?” Vice-president Liang said confusedly.

Actually, this was the same thing that baffled Wen Shuyue. He Siming, knowing about the upcoming transfer of the project, could totally just refuse, but somehow he’d given his consent. Had there been some kind of misunderstanding?

Or had someone working against Manis tricked He Siming into agreeing?

The latter possibility seemed to become more and more likely. Wen Shuyue, unable to keep her cool, promptly called He Siming.

“What happened in your company? You’re not really going to cooperate with the Lu group, are you?” Wen Shuyue blurted. He Siming was silent for quite a while, presumably because of this matter.

He Siming’s silence scared Wen Shuyue. Before he could speak, she continued, “I really didn’t know about this issue. President Gu didn’t tell me anything before his departure, and I’ve been busy dealing with the project with the Lu group lately, so-”

“I know this has something to do with you, so you don’t have to explain. You need to keep a weather eye on Lu Junhan. I’m afraid he’ll make a move against your company,” He Siming interrupted her lukewarmly. He must be in a really foul mood right now.

Even in these circumstances, he was still worried about her. Wen Shuyue was somewhat moved. After giving He Siming some words of comfort, she hung up.

Although MK was now cooperating with the Lu group, the two sides still had full control of their respective products. MK still had the patents on its products, and all their designs would bear the name MK. Also, the two companies, though partners, were also rivals.

After getting some information about their partnership, Wen Shuyue came to know that the cooperation was also a rivalry.

“Ms Wen, your mother came here to look for you. She had wounds on her face. I think she encountered some kind of danger.” Lu hurried over to report, her face full of apprehension.

“What?!” Wen Shuyue instantly became anxious and ran towards the lounge. The moment she saw her mother, her heart felt as if it would break.

She looked at her mother in disbelief and said in a choked voice, “Mom, what happened to you? Who hit you? Was it Lu Junhan and Qin Weiwei?”

“No, Yueyue, let’s talk somewhere else. I don’t dare talk about it here. I’m afraid someone might eavesdrop on us.” Her mother held Wen Shuyue’s hand tightly, tears glistening in her eyes, manifestly scared.

Wen Shuyue nodded and promptly took her mother to her office. Currently, her office was probably the only place in the whole company where she didn’t have to worry about eavesdroppers. It was very likely Lu Junhan had eyes and ears in all other parts of it.

Her mother drank a glass of water before she tentatively rolled up her sleeves. At the sight of the bruises on her arms, Wen Shuyue felt as if an iron fist had clenched around her heart.

“Mom, how could those people do this do you? Tell me, was it Lu Junhan or Qin Weiwei?” Wen Shuyue’s eyes reddened in spite of herself. She hated herself so much. She kept feeling that she was the reason why her mother had come to such harm.

If she were capable enough, Qin Weiwei and Lu Junhan definitely wouldn’t have dared do such a thing. Was her being weak the ultimate reason for this?This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Wen Shuyue bit her lower lip tightly, but maybe because she bit into it, the salty metal tang of her blood spread in her mouth. The smell was foul, and Wen Shuyue detested it.

Wen Shuyue’s mother, having calmed herself down, put down her sleeves and sighed resignedly, “Yueyue, I don’t know what to say to you about these things. Anyway, you must keep a weather eye on Lu Junhan. There’s nothing the likes of him won’t do to get what they want. You must be careful not to be tricked by him.”

“Don’t worry, mom. There’s no way I’m going to believe a single word of him. Since you’ve made it back, stay with me, okay? You must not go back,” Wen Shuyue said nervously. She was finally reunited with her mother. There was no way she was letting her mother return to that dangerous place.

She had thought her mother would agree, but unexpectedly, her mother shook her head and said sadly, “I really want to live with you, but if I don’t go back, your father and I will both come to grief, and your father will suffer an even worse fate.”

“Then what should we do? Surely we can’t sit by and do nothing?” Wen Shuyue was on the verge of a mental breakdown. That viper Lu Junhan seemed to be everywhere. He was scheming against not only MK but also Manis. Was he not afraid of divine retribution?

Wen Shuyue clenched her teeth. Though having managed to calm down, she still had a very ugly look on her face.

News of the incident at the bar had spread throughout the whole city, and Qin Weiwei was still in the hospital. Wen Shuyue believed that if she sued them at this point in time, she should have a chance of winning.

But the premise was that her mother would cooperate with her. As long as she found evidence that Lu Junhan had framed Wen Long, the conviction would very likely be overturned. However, seeing as how scared her mother was right now, it was very likely she wouldn’t be cooperative.

Even so, Wen Shuyue still tried her best to persuade her. “Mom, we must do something, or Lu Junhan will definitely run roughshod over us. We must fight back.”

“With what? We don’t have what it takes to fight against him. Do you think those shreds of evidence are easy to find? They’ve destroyed them some time ago,” her mother said, tears streaming down her cheeks. The sight of her sorrowful face struck Wen Shuyue as heart-wrenching.

“Then we’ll-”

A knock on the office door interrupted Wen Shuyue and with that Lu’s voice was heard. “Ms Wen, the president of the Lu group came. He says he needs to talk to you.”

Lu Junhan?

Wen Shuyue subconsciously glanced at her mother. Her mother, looking panic-stricken, hurriedly said, “I don’t want to see him. I’m very scared of him. Can you have him chucked out? Just chuck him out!”

“Okay, okay. Mom, don’t worry. I’ll go chuck him out right away.” Wen Shuyue consoled her mother for a few moments before she went to see Lu Junhan with Lu.

It surprised her that Lu Junhan had the guts to come here to see her. It seemed that he hadn’t learned anything that day in the police station.

“How’s Qin Weiwei doing in the hospital? Did she suffer a concussion?” Wen Shuyue said lukewarmly. She deliberately said that to spite Lu Junhan.
