Chapter 95: Chapter 095 Arriving in the Provincial City_1
“Miss! I’ll give you a discount, I’ll take twenty yuan!” The owner felt somewhat guilty even uttering the amount.
As the shopkeeper, he also felt that the price seemed a bit high.
“Thanks.” Nan Fei painfully dug into her pocket, pulled out a handful of loose change, and reluctantly counted out exactly twenty yuan to give to the boss. She cursed herself for her weakness – she had been wealthy in her previous life, and now twenty yuan was enough to-
“Miss, please come back to support our business more often!”
“…” She would never come again!
Hearing the beeping from the phone, Huo Beijiang’s eyes dangerously narrowed. His naturally thick eyelashes, thicker than any woman’s, cast tiny shadows on his eyelids due to this slight movement.
This made his countenance even more deep and three-dimensional!
The hand holding the phone slowly clenched, and a dangerous, intimidating aura exuded from him. Completely different from when he just answered the call, as if he were a different person.
The comm room fell silent again. Everyone was extra cautious, afraid that if The Great Devil was hung up on and became upset, they would be the unlucky ones.
“Boss?” Lu Jin cautiously peeked out, “The captain wants us to board immediately.”
“Got it.” Huo Beijiang hung up the phone and left without looking back.
The two men left the comm room and headed straight for the ship. All the preparations for the sea voyage were complete, and they just needed to board. It shouldn’t have been Lu Jin who came to call for him, but no one else wanted to, so his own son had to do it.
“Boss.” Lu Jin’s eyes were sparkling with curiosity, “Is Jiang Nanfei my sister-in-law?”
Huo Beijiang casually slapped him on the back, ominously retorting: “Huh? Shouldn’t you be calling her mom?”
“…” He was afraid that if he did, he would get beaten up.
“Boss, everyone is very curious! What the hell is going on? This is too sudden.” Lu Jin noticed that his boss seemed to be in a good mood, but he had a gloomy expression that was frightening, as if he was planning something nefarious.
“It’s nothing!” Huo Beijiang breezed over the topic.
The World Ship King Conference wouldn’t end for at least half a month, and he couldn’t help feeling uneasy about leaving the young girl at home alone.
He wished he could keep her by his side at all times, tucked into his pocket.
“Little Deer, can you check how much leave I have left? I want to take a long vacation.” He usually didn’t care about matters at home, and he rarely went home, let alone paid much attention.
But now, what’s this about? They think they can bully his woman when he’s not home?
Do they think he, Huo Beijiang, is dead?
If it weren’t for his mother being involved, Huo Beijiang would have exploded already!
As his biological son, he knew Yuan Xueshan’s character and weakness very well. She seemed tough and somewhat cunning, but having been oppressed by her mother-in-law all her life, there was some resentment.
It’s normal for a daughter-in-law to hold grievances against her mother-in-law, it’s a common thing in every household! But what if someone were to stir the pot?
The outcome would be unpredictable then!
Lu Jin dramatically said: “You have a ton of leave! Boss, since you joined Transocean, you’ve only been home once for three days.”
“Submit a long-term leave application for me.”
“Isn’t that bad? If they find out, they’ll definitely be furious.”
“No problem! Getting angry is good for the health.”
“…” Alright, that’s a strong argument.
“Right!” Huo Beijiang touched his chin, a meaningful smile creeping onto his handsome face. “Submit a marriage application for me.”
