Chapter 495: Squatting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Le Wan leaned against the door and saw Fu Sui’s father, Fu Sheng, standing alone under the flower vine and making a phone call. Judging from his expression, he seemed a little unhappy.
Le Wan searched again and saw Little Brother Le squatting behind a clump of holly trees, stretching his ears to eavesdrop. She bent over and patted his shoulder, almost frightening him.
“Shh!” Le Wan quickly covered his mouth to calm him down.
Little Brother Le blinked to show that he understood. Le Wan then released him.
Little Brother Le took a deep breath and whispered,
“Sister, why do you want me to keep an eye on him?”
It turned out that Le Wan had already told Little Brother Le to find an opportunity to keep an eye on Fu Sheng and to inform her if he was alone.
Due to the close relationship between the Le family and the Fu family, the Fu family would usually arrive earlier than the other guests every time the Le family held a banquet. Although the two families were at odds now, it wasn’t the time to fall out with each other. Therefore, the Fu family didn’t change this.
Although the family members didn’t have the same story, they all decided to hide it from Mama Le intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, they ignored Little Brother Le, so Le Wan didn’t think of telling him the truth. She only said vaguely,
“I found out that the Fu family was behind the incident with Zhai Jing’s game company. So, I wanted to find an opportunity to set him up and return the favor.
Although Little Brother Le wasn’t very smart, he was also a troublemaker. Therefore, when he heard Le Wan’s words, he immediately expressed his desire to join.
Le Wan whispered in his ear for a while. Little Brother Le looked doubtful.
“Is this really okay?”
Le Wan said nonchalantly,
“We’ll only know after we try. If he believes us, it’s his problem to step into the pit. If he doesn’t believe us, we won’t lose anything.”
Little Brother Le thought that it was right, so he threw away his doubts. The two of them quietly went to the rattan rack that led to the side door of the banquet hall and pretended to be bored as they chatted. At the same time, they paid attention to Fu Sheng’s movements not far away.
They didn’t know who Fu Sheng was calling. He chatted for about ten minutes before ending the call and preparing to return to the banquet hall.
Le Wan and Little Brother Le exchanged glances when they heard the approaching footsteps.
Le Wan was the first to lie down on the smooth marble table and complain,
“Sigh, it’s so boring. I told them not to hold a Teacher Appreciation Banquet in this hotel, but Dad and Mom didn’t listen. They even invited a bunch of people I don’t even know. Just thinking about how many people I have to socialize with later makes me feel so troublesome.’
Little Brother Le also pretended to be troubled.
“I don’t want to play with them either. They all pretend to be elders and scold me when they see me. It’s so annoying.”
Le Wan slammed the table.
“Hmph, it’s all Big Brother’s fault. We had agreed to borrow his cruise ship to hold this banquet and drag all the teachers and students we know out to sea to play with him for a few days. That would be so honorable. In the end, he had clearly agreed, but he suddenly changed his mind at the last minute and said that he wanted to invite someone’s brother-in-law out to sea to play. He left me behind. After today’s banquet, I have to look for him..
She paused as if she had just seen Fu Sheng walking over. She immediately put away her spoiled face and pretended to be generous and decent as she stood up. “Uncle Fu, long time no see. Why are you here alone?”
Fu Sheng had watched Le Wan grow up and knew her personality quite well, so he wasn’t surprised at all that she acted one way in front of others and another way behind them. He looked at her kindly like he always did.
“What happened? Isn’t today your big day? Why do I look at you from afar as if you can hang a bottle of oil on your mouth? Who made you angry? Tell me, and
I’ll help you teach them a lesson.”
Le Wan chuckled in embarrassment and whispered about Big Brother Le’s bad behavior of going back on his words. She complained,
“He just took advantage of my young age and didn’t take me seriously.
Otherwise, why would he stand me up for someone else?”
Fu Sheng looked at Le Wan’s innocent and fearless face. A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
Selfishly speaking, Le Wan was indeed a very good marriage partner. She had an outstanding appearance and was extremely favored by the Le family. She could even get shares. She was considered rich and easy to manipulate. She had previously devoted herself to Fu Sui. It could be said that whoever married her controlled half of the Le family..
