Chapter 7 Humbly Beg

Even CEO Li putting in a good word for him didn’t work? Weren’t CEO Li and CEO Huang really close friends from school? Lin Feng was still arrogant earlier, but now he couldn’t even crack a smile. If he really insisted on signing with nobody else but Lin Yuzhen, then they really had to go and beg her humbly. Lin Qiang’s face turned nasty. He had never thought that this matter would become so difficult. What did this Lin Yuzhen do to make CEO Huang so protective of her? “This little slut!” Lin Qiang laughed coldly. “Looks like she’s pretty good in bed huh. She usually acts all pure and innocent, it’s all an act!” If she hadn’t serviced CEO Huang well, why would he protect her like this? Bullshit! If you wanted him to beg Lin Yuzhen now, honestly this was really impossible. He would rather beg a dog than to beg any useless member of Lin Wen’s family. Riiiing… Lin Feng’s phone started ringing. His face fell even more when he saw who was calling. “It’s Grandpa.” Lin Feng was about to cry. He was most afraid of getting a call from Lin Xiao now. But now he was in charge of this project, so if anything went wrong, he would be first to be blamed. “Pick it up!” Lin Qiang ordered. Lin Feng had no choice but to take the call. The consequences of not picking up Grandpa’s call was worse. “Grandpa,” Lin Feng greeted his grandfather. “Feng, how’s the project with CEO Huang?” Lin Xiao did not beat round the bush. He was most concerned about this project. This project was terribly important and the Lins had invested a lot into it. “Good, everything is going smoothly.” Lin Feng glanced over at Lin Qiang and saw his father hinting at him. He quickly lied, “Once CEO Huang has time, we can get the contract signed.” “That’s good.” Lin Xiao then said, “You’d better watch this one closely, we cannot lose this project. If anything goes wrong, you’re going to get it from me!” He hung up. Lin Feng’s palm was all sweaty. He knew all too clearly what sort of temperament his grandfather had. If something happened, it wouldn’t be settled as easily as just resigning or getting a beating. “Dad, what do we do?” Lin Feng was really going to cry. Lin Yuzhen was so despicable, giving him this difficult task and getting him into such hot water! Lin Qiang looked even worse. Did the two of them really have to go back to Lin Wen and beg for mercy? Earlier they were still arrogant and didn’t couldn’t care less about Lin Yuzhen and family. If they went to beg her now, wouldn’t it be as good as being slapped twice in the face? Lin Qiang couldn’t stand the idea of humbling himself for this family! “Lin Feng, you go.” After thinking about it, Lin Qiang said, “You go plead with Lin Yuzhen, even if you have to beg her it’s ok, even if you have to kneel down you’d better kneel, as long as Lin Yuzhen gets this contract signed!” “Dad…” “What, you expect me to do that?” Lin Qiang roared at his son, his eyes bloodshot. Lin Feng wanted to save his pride, but Lin Qiang was even more desperate than his son! If word got out that an elder like him had to beg a younger family member, he would be utterly disgraced. Lin Feng dared not speak up after his father had spoken so fiercely. He was the one who started this mess. If he ended up hurting his father’s pride as a result of this, then he was really dead meat. Lin Feng could only clench his teeth and dejectedly made his way towards Lin Yuzhen’s house. At this time, Lin Yuzhen and family had started eating. The table wasn’t very large, each person took one side of the table and ate in silence. This was the first time Lin Yuzhen’s family had one more person at the table for a meal. And this was their new son-in-law who had married into the family. Lin Wen never talked while eating, while Sumei didn’t know what to say. She didn’t like Jiang Ning, and worse still, he didn’t fancy her daughter, but she ended up marrying this completely useless man. But earlier Jiang Ning had come out and spoke up for her. She wasn’t blind and couldn’t pretend she didn’t see any of that. Lin Yuzhen didn’t know what to say either. On the contrary, Jiang Ning behaved like he was in his own house, and didn’t bother with any sort of formality at all. “Mum, you’re a really good cook, this is delicious!” “I don’t know when I last ate such yummy food!” “Can I have another bowl of rice?” There were more vegetables than meat in the dishes on the table, but Jiang Ning was taking large bites of everything as if these were delicacies. Watching him eat like this made Lin Yuzhen think that he might have gone hungry many times as a homeless man. So before Sumei could react, Lin Yuzhen took Jiang Ning’s empty rice bowl and got him another bowl. “Thanks wifey.” Lin Yuzhen was holding the rice scoop in her hand when she heard the way he called her, and her hand immediately trembled. BOM BOM BOM! Just when it was getting awkward, there was a noise at the door again. Lin Wen looked up and was about to go back into his room when Sumei glared fiercely at him and he didn’t dare to move. “Who is it!” Sumei shouted out. “Auntie Sumei, it’s me, Lin Feng!” There was some indignation but also some helplessness in this voice. Sumei and Lin Yuzhen exchanged glances. What was he doing here again? Was he really back to beg Lin Yuzhen just like what Jiang Ning said? Mother and daughter turned to look at Jiang Ning, but he was still busy eating. Sumei walked over and opened the door. Lin Feng immediately put a huge smile on his face. “Auntie Sumei are you having dinner? Is Yuzhen in?” Lin Feng put on his most charming face. He’d never smiled like this to even his own father. He poked his head in and saw Lin Yuzhen seated at the table and quickly said, “Yuzhen, what happened earlier was my fault, so I’ll apologize to you now. I hope you won’t take it to heart and let me off this time.” Lin Yuzhen and her parents were stunned by this. Lin Feng was really willing to beg for mercy? “Lin Group can’t do without you. You’ve not come to work for just one day and the office is a complete mess!” Lin Feng bowed slightly and kept an awkward smile on, “Come back to the office, there are so many projects waiting for you to complete.” That’s what he said, but he was scolding her in his heart. Once this project was settled, they’d better watch out! “Where’s your dad?” Lin Yuzhen really didn’t know how to respond, and once again, Jiang Ning spoke on her behalf. He was shoving food in his mouth as he glanced sideways at Lin Feng. “Why isn’t he here?” Lin Feng was getting angry but kept a smile on his face. “My dad is too busy so he asked me to come over and apologize to Yuzhen. I hope my new brother-in-law can also forgive me and not hold it against me.” Lin Feng had really humbled himself this time. He’d even apologized to this man who married into the family. “This won’t do.” Who would have thought that Jiang Ning merely started shaking his head? “The one who fired Yuzhen is your dad, so he should be the one apologizing, otherwise we’re not accepting it.” Lin Feng nearly exploded. This man was asking for too much! “You…” Lin Feng nearly wanted to shout at him. This lunatic was going crazy again or something! Lin Yuzhen and her parents looked back at Jiang Ning, afraid that he would blow this matter up. Lin Feng had already come to apologize, so they shouldn’t push this matter too far. It did them no good to offend this father and son. “Dad, Mum, Yuzhen is your precious daughter, so you took care of things when she was bullied.” Jiang Ning swallowed the last mouthful of rice. “Now she’s my wife, so if she’s being bullied, I’m going to take care of it.” He stood up and an intense murderous look flashed in his eyes. “Whoever dares to bully my wife will pay dearly for it!” This terrifying murderous aura suddenly froze the air around them and pressed hard against Lin Feng, so much so he couldn’t help but shudder. “Jiang Ning, you’d better not go too far!” Lin Feng couldn’t stand it anymore. He was even prepared to kneel. But Jiang Ning didn’t even think much of him coming here to apologize, so it was pointless to kneel. “Tell your dad to come here and apologize. Otherwise you’ll have to bear all the consequences.” Jiang Ning was not polite about it at all. “Still standing there? We’re done eating and we didn’t leave any for the dog!”
