"What did you say? Not only did Hu Hong help me, he also helped Yijun. How could you say that he's not qualified enough for you to thank him?" Wang Xue never expected Lu Chen to talk back to her. At that moment, a look of great bitterness swept across her face.
Lu Chen looked indifferent as he turned to Hu Hong and asked in a low voice, "Well then, do you dare to call your dad and ask if he was the one who pleaded Lu Zhong for the deal with Jun Yue Group? Was it really him who called Mr. Wang and asked him to give my wife the deal in Greentown?"
"..." Hu Hong was a little flustered facing Lu Chen's questions. After all, he knew that his dad did not have such abilities.
Not to mention that it was impossible for someone with such a low social status as his father to come into contact with Tycoon Lu Zhong or Mr. Wang from Greentown. Clearly, his dad had nothing to do with these two
"Brother-in-law, what are you trying to say? You piece of trash, are you jealous of Hu Hong now? Who else could it be besides Hu Hong's dad? You?" Seeing Lu Chen questioning her boyfriend, Lin Yijia immediately interrupted him.
"It doesn't matter if I was the one who helped. The question here is whether this kid dares to call and ask his dad in front of everyone. Otherwise, you may also call Lu Zhong and Wang Kui. I have both of their numbers. Do you want me to give them to you?" Lu Chen sneered.
"Fine, he'll call his dad. Don't blame me for laughing at you later on," Lin Yijia retorted.
Lu Chen laughed ironically. You are welcome to laugh at me at any time.
"Hong, call your dad now. Let's show someone how powerful your family is," Lin Yijia urged.
Lin Yijun and Wang Xue also looked at
Hu Hong
Hu Hong was a little hesitant and felt very guilty.
However, considering the fact that his mind was in sync with his dad's, he decided to take the risk. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed and also lose his chance with Lin Yijia.
With that thought in mind, Hu Hong resolutely took out his phone and called his dad.
"Dad, remember the time I asked you to intercede with Mr. Lu to help Wang Xue? As well as the time I asked you to persuade Mr. Wang to give the Greentown deal to Yijia's sister. Anyway, Yijia's brother-in-law does not believe it, thus he asked me to call and confirm with you. Would you please help me tell him the truth?" Hu Hong's mind worked fast as he thought of what to say.
He was quite the clever guy. Based on what he knew about his dad, his dad would definitely understand what was going on since he had already said it so obviously.
"Son, how many times have I told you to be humble? You shouldn't brag when you do kind acts. You are still too young and immature. What does it matter if others believe you? If you love Lin Yijia, you should do things for her without bragging about it. You will be laughed at if you say it out loud. Don't care too much about other people's opinions. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. Just be yourself. I have to go now. In order to help Yijun, I'm going to invite Mr. Wang for lunch. I'm hanging up." Then, Hu Hong's dad hung up the phone.
Since Hu Hong had switched on his loudspeaker, everyone in the house heard his dad clearly.
Now, everyone except Lu Chen no
longer doubted Hu Hong, and secretly
admired Hu Hong's father for his maturity. He was indeed the boss of a big company.
"Brother-in-law, what else do you have to say now?" Lin Yijia asked with an arrogant glint in her eyes.
"Brother-in-law, I hope you are satisfied with this answer." Hu Hong also looked at Lu Chen provocatively.
Lu Chen ignored Lin Yijia and looked at Hu Hong. The shamelessness of Hu Hong and his father had astonished him.
"You and your father are impressive. Very impressive!" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled as he said, "Your family owns a supermarket, right? I hope you don't regret your shameless act today."
"Brother-in-law, my family indeed owns a supermarket. Are you going to commit fraud at my supermarket just because my dad helped Yijun?" Hu Hong deliberately widened his eyes and looked at Lu Chen in surprise.
Fraud? Lu Chen sneered in his heart and said nothing more.
"Your stupidity is beyond belief," Wang Xue said as she shook her head contemptuously.
Lin Yijun looked at Lu Chen. She was also very annoyed, but she did not want to lecture Lu Chen at her mother's house, so she sighed and said to Hu
Hong, "Hu Hong, I'm sorry, I apologize for Lu Chen's brashness. I'm grateful to your Dad for helping me."
"Yijun, you're being too serious. In fact, I didn't plan to say this aloud, but Lu Chen was being too aggressive earlier. I had no choice but to call my dad and clear my name," Hu Hong said, pretending to be humble.
Lin Yijun did not notice Hu Hong's hypocrisy at all. On the contrary, she suddenly felt that her prospective
brother-in-law was much better than her husband.
They were really incomparable.
"Lu Chen, do you still think that Hu Hong does not deserve your apology?" Wang Xue asked again.
Lu Chen was a little irritated, but after thinking about it, he held back his anger.
He had many ways to prove how shameless Hu Hong and his father was, but looking at Wang Xue and Lin Yijia's attitude toward him, he changed his
mind.
Since they enjoyed the feeling of being cheated, he would just let them be.
After today, he had no intention of ever coming to the Lin residence and be condemned again.
As for his wife, he would find an opportunity to tell her the truth. As for whether she believed it or not, it was up to her.
At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Dahai finally came back from work. Lin Yijun then brought out the dishes and prepared for dinner.
"Happy birthday, uncle. This is the vase from the Tang Dynasty that I found in the antique market." Hu Hong impatiently delivered his gift before dinner.
Lin Dahal took a few glances at the vase. Both the pattern and the work were quite fine, but he knew from a glance that this was not a vase from the Tang Dynasty, but a modern industrial Imitation.
But, even if it was an imitation, he knew that this kind of vase typically cost around 200,000. He could not help but nod and said, "Hu, that's very thoughtful of you. I like it very much. Yijia, help me put the vase aside."
Lin Yijia and Hu Hong were a little excited by Lin Dahai's praise.
"Brother-in-law, didn't you say that you also bought a gift for uncle? You should take it out and show it to everyone." Hu Hong looked at Lu Chen, smiling provocatively.
Lin Yijia, who was about to place the vase, stopped in her tracks. She wanted to see the gift that Lu Chen would give her dad.
Lu Chen took the cup out of a bag, got up and handed it to Lin Dahai. "Dad, happy birthday. This is a chalice from the Southern Song Dynasty. It is most suitable for drinking wine. I hope you like it."
"My God, are you saying that this broken cup is a chalice? Brother-in-law, do you think that we're stupid?" When Lu Chen took out an unremarkable clay cup, Lin Yijia could not help laughing.
Hu Hong also had an arrogant expression. When Lu Chen said that this was the chalice from the Southern Song Dynasty, he almost burst out in laughter.
Meanwhile, Lin Yijun was a little embarrassed and wanted to explain that even if it was not a chalice, Professor Yu Zhengtao had offered to buy the glass for 150,000.
In contrast with their ridicules, Lin Dahai stared at the glass in front of him, a sudden flash of excitement appeared in his eyes.
He was so excited that he forgot to take the glass from Lu Chen's hand.
But just when he snapped back and was about to take over the glass, Wang Xue did it before him.
"Lu Chen, enough is enough. Not only did you falsely accuse Hu Hong, now you're even lying that this ugly thing is a Song Dynasty chalice. You really let me down this time. I never minded how poor you are. As long as Yijun likes you, I never bothered interfering. However, you have such a bad character. I can't stand it anymore, take your ugly cup and scram. Don't ever step foot in my house again!"
Wang Xue slapped away the glass in Lu Chen's hand and it fell to the ground and shattered.
