Chapter 927 - 444 (Revised)
The colleague who didn’t get along with Mother Lu, Fu Juan, originally wanted to make Mother Lu look bad, but it turned out that Mother Lu became the host, bringing up the very topic she least wanted to mention.
And obviously, Fu Juan wasn’t very popular in this office. Now someone followed up on Mother Lu’s words and said, "Yeah, Fu Juan, I remember you mentioned last time that your daughter is dating someone whose family is extremely wealthy, apparently owning assets worth tens of billions. With such a good son-in-law, you can’t keep it a secret. You should invite us all to dinner some time, let everyone meet this son-in-law of yours."
Fu Juan felt like cursing in her heart at that moment, but she couldn’t let it show on her face. With a smile, she said: "As you all know, young people nowadays have ups and downs in love. One day things are good as if they’re inseparable, the next day they might be at each other’s throats. So, until the two of them decide to settle down, it wouldn’t be right for me to bring someone over for dinner. Once they’re officially a couple, I assure you I’ll invite everyone for a meal."
"Fu Juan, are you sure we’ll ever get to have that meal?" Someone inserted with a cool tone.
"What’s that supposed to mean?" Fu Juan couldn’t help but cool her expression.
"It means exactly what it sounds like. I have no ill intentions, just that, your daughter’s boyfriend, I happen to know him too. A few days ago, I was at the mall and saw that guy strolling around with another young lady. At first, I thought it was your daughter, and I was about to go over and greet them. Thankfully, my eyesight is good, I could see from five meters away that the person he was holding was not your daughter, and I stopped myself right there. I’ve been holding this in for several days now, thinking about giving you a heads-up. But then I worried you might think I have ulterior motives, enjoying watching your trouble. So, I didn’t say anything. Today, since we’ve all come to this, I think I should speak up." The person spoke earnestly but winked at Mother Lu out of Fu Juan’s sight. It was deliberate, completely deliberate.
Who would blame them when Fu Juan’s character was so flawed, they had endured enough of her.
Fu Juan’s face flushed with anger because of this colleague’s words.
