“Brother, I’m sorry.” I said.
“Nothing, it’s just… why are you so sad?” Wenbei said incomprehensibly.
This was also my biggest worry. I was worried that Wenbei would think I was pretending to be sad.
Because I really didn’t have to be so sad, it didn’t make sense.
“I don’t know, maybe I remembered something sad about myself, I’m sorry….”
“That’s okay. Don’t be so sad. What should have happened has happened or is bound to happen, so we should be brave.”
I nodded, trying to calm myself down.
“How did your little sister die?” I asked Wenbei softly.
To my surprise, Wenbei shook his head, “I don’t know.”
I was a little stunned, and then he continued, “When my sister died, I was studying abroad. I didn’t know she was dead until I returned. They just told me she died of an illness.”
Wenbei was very sad. Although his sister had been dead for several years, he still missed his sister a lot.
“Be optimistic. Maybe your sister didn’t want you to be so sad either.”
Wenbei also adjusted his emotions and revealed a smile, “You just scared me a little for being so sad. Why don’t you meet my family tonight?”
I shook my head hurriedly, “I’m not ready to meet your family yet.”
“You have concerns?” Wenbei instantly understood.
I nodded frankly.
Of course I have concerns. The Su Family is a famous and prestigious family in Yang City, and I am just nobody. Due to the scandal of my receiving kickbacks on projects I had previously worked with them, it affected the reputation of the Nanhe Group, even though I hadn’t received kickbacks. And now that I’ve become Wenbei’s sister, others must think I’m trying to seek profit from them.
I don’t really care what others say about me, but as a daughter-in-law of the Hua family now, I can’t damage the reputation of the Hua family. That’s why I decide not to have too much contact with the people of the Su Family for the time being, except for Wenbei.
Wenbei nodded, “I understand, then wait until you are ready.”
“Thank you, Brother.”
“We should celebrate that I have a sister today,” Wenbei said.
“Yeah, I think so.” And I happily agreed.
That was when my phone rang, it was from Moyun Feng. He threatened to take the matter to the board if I did not hand over the job on the phone.
I told him that it was the partner who disagreed with him to take on the job. Then I promised to give him some files and let him communicate with the partner.
The more he talked the angrier he got and finally he hung up the phone.
“Brother, it looks like we won’t get a chance to celebrate today. I have to get back to Hai City first. I guess that Moyun Feng will give me trouble when I return to Hai City. Although I’m not afraid of him, I don’t want to make things difficult for my husband.”
Wenbei thought for a moment, “I’ll communicate with Hua Corporation and let them send a statement to clarify that there is no bribery or taking in our cooperation. Then there will also be a statement from Nanhe Group expressing our welcome to work with you, so as to reduce the pressure on you in the Hai City.”
“Good, thanks you, Brother.”
By the time I got to Hai City, it was already 6, 00 p. m.
I was about to go home when a call came in from Leon, asking me to go to his office now.
Leon’s face was black with anger and threw a photo in front of me, “Nala Yao, you dare cheat on me!”
I picked up the photo, which showed Wenbei with his hands on my shoulders. This action was actually quite normal, but it did look a bit ambiguous after being filmed on camera.
Before I had time to explain, Leon already grabbed me, “I asked you to talk about work, but you dated Wenbei on the street? President Hua has also seen the photo. People now say you hooked up with the Su family to make sure you stay in charge of that project. Do you know how embarrassed I am right now?”
“Could you calm down?”
“You cheated on me and still ask me to be calm? How can I be calm?” Leon suddenly burst out anger.
He was trembling with anger and his blood boiled.
“You should trust me, and you should trust Wenbei. You said that he was a gentleman.”
“I do believe him, but he dares … I’m going to kill him.” Leon said angrily.
Did he really mind if I go out with another guy? Did he really care about me?
“It’s a misunderstanding. Today, Wenbei wanted me to be his sister. When I agreed, he was a little excited, so he put his hand on my shoulder. I didn’t expect that it was to be caught on camera.”
Leon slightly loosened his grip on my hand, ‘He wanted you to be his sister? You guys really have nothing?”
“We really have nothing. Would I be stupid enough to date him on the street not in a private place?” I asked rhetorically.
Leon who had remained clam was furious again, “Do you mean you want to date him in private?”
I laughed, “I even said that Wenbei is now my brother. He had a little sister who later died. He has been very sad, so he wants me to be his sister.”
“Are you telling the truth?” Leon still had a look of disbelief on his face.
“You have to trust me. If you don’t trust me, then I can’t explain it.”
“Now that the matter has spread through the company, President Hua is also furious. He said let me take you there and explain it. This matter is not only company’s business now, but also affects the reputation of Hua family.”
“It’s getting late, is the President Hua still at work?”
“He’ll be waiting in the company all the time! I guess the Feng family is there too. They’re not going to let this opportunity of causing us trouble go easily. Nala Yao, I find you’re a troublemaker.” Leon said.
“Let’s go, I’ll go to the company now, I’ll explain it to them in person.” I said to Leon.
