“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. It’s what I should do. The snacks you make are super delicious.” Hai Dongyang chuckled. “And your dance… Can I invite you to be an ambassador for our brand?”
Nangong Jue was speechless.
‘Is he treating me like I’m dead?’
Then, he went forward and pulled her into his arms.
Le Yao was stunned. She turned to look at the man and couldn’t help but smile. This guy was jealous. Then, she smiled at Hai Dongyang. “Thank you for your invitation, but I’m not suitable for the entertainment industry.”
Hai Dongyang was about to say something else when a voice came from the hall. “Dongyang, please let the guests in.”
Only then did Hai Dongyang realize that everyone was still standing at the door. He hurriedly smiled apologetically and let them in.
In the luxuriously decorated hall, a hale and hearty old man was sitting on the sofa, but his body was upright and his hands were holding a walking stick.
“Elder Hai.” Nangong Jue bowed respectfully to the tide.
Le Yao also bowed.
“Sir Jue, I’ve long heard of your name. Sit.” Hai Chao nodded slightly. Le Yao blinked. They knew each other? That made things easier.
Nangong Jue pulled Le Yao to sit down on the sofa.
Soon, a Filipino maid served some snacks. Then, she quickly left. There was no sound during the entire process. Clearly, they were well-trained.
Hai Dongyang sat down opposite Nangong Jue and the others.
“I heard that you want to ask about Master Ba?” Hai Chao did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Nangong Jue nodded. “Yes.”
“Reason.”
Le Yao frowned. Did he have to know the reason?
“It might have something to do with my wife’s background, ” Nangong Jue said directly.
Hai Chao’s gaze landed on Le Yao’s face and he frowned slightly. Then, he suddenly stood up and walked up to Le Yao in a few steps. He reached out and pressed her head.
“What are you doing?” Le Yao exclaimed.
“Elder Hai, you…” Nangong Jue stood up and was about to attack.
Hai Dongyang also stood up in fear. What was Grandpa doing?
“Don’t move,” Hai Chao said sternly. He even glared at Nangong Jue. Then, he pressed Le Yao’s head down and pried open her hair. He let go after taking a look. Then, he suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground. “Miss.”
Le Yao had been quite angry just now and was about to curse, but now she was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back. “Elder Hai, what… do you mean?” When Hai Chao looked up again, tears were already streaming down his face.
Le Yao could only look at Nangong Jue for help.
Nangong Jue took a step forward and helped him up. “Elder Hai, please get up and talk.”
“Okay.” The way Elder Hai looked at Le Yao changed. “However, let’s go to my study.” Then, he took the initiative to bring the two of them to the second floor. “Dongyang, you come too.”
The study on the second floor was simple and elegant. It had a Chinese style and was completely different from the dazzling decoration in the hall.
Le Yao was immediately attracted by the set of rosewood table and chairs inside. This chair could cost the same as a house. This person was too extravagant.
However, she did not show it because they were going to talk business after all.
After Hai Chao gestured for everyone to sit down, he turned around and went to the ancient shelf beside him. No one knew what he touched, but the ancient shelf turned away, revealing a safe embedded in the wall behind. Then, he opened the safe openly..
