Reborn As Lucky Star

The shamelessness of this person is beyond my imagination.

Yue Qingqing was utterly amazed.

Not even as decent as the last time I saw him, at least there was some semblance of dignity then.

Jiang Jingze looked indifferent, "I have no time."

He would never admit that this man is Qingqing's father.

Does he even deserve it?

Seeing the two about to leave, Li Fuhong hurriedly stopped them, recalling his intentions.

"Qingqing, even if you don't recognize me, I at least gave birth to you. Just help your dad this once."

Again with the "gave you life" argument.

Generally, qualified parents wouldn't use this line to demand anything.

In fact, those who love to wield this phrase often have nothing else to offer.

Yue Qingqing waved distantly at Qian Zhengxin.

Old Qian immediately nodded with a smile.

Li Fuhong sighed in relief, "That's right, what deep animosity could exist between father and daughter? After all, you are my..."

Before he could finish, Yue Qingqing took out her phone and dialed a number.

The phone in Old Qian's pocket rang.

The elder looked at the caller ID with a puzzled expression.

But he still answered the call.

"You girl, calling when we're so close? You certainly don't save on phone bills. Is this a trend among young people?"

Anyway, Qian Zhengxin couldn't quite understand.

Yue Qingqing spoke gently, "I should have come to greet you, but today isn't convenient. If you are still here in the upcoming days, I'll host a meal for you."

Old Qian, wise with age, immediately understood.

"I'm also quite busy lately, have to fly back soon. When you return to Beijing later, contact me. I'll treat you."

"Let's settle on that then."

Seeing that Old Qian got her meaning, Yue Qingqing hung up and turned to leave.

Li Fuhong's face turned pale, and he chased a couple of steps forward.

Before he could catch up, he heard Jiao Lei's exclamation behind him.

He had to turn back.

Jiao Lei pleaded urgently, "You just arrived, how can you leave so soon? At least stay and let us take you to try the local cuisine, whether the business proceeds or not, the relationship still matters."

Old Qian savored Yue Qingqing's earlier words.

Yue Qingqing possesses a rare calmness for someone young, if not for past grievances, it's unlikely for such proximity to lead to awkward phone greetings.

It seems Li Fuhong's words need reconsideration.

Thinking of this, Old Qian smiled and said, "Suddenly remembered an emergency at the company. Let's meet next time."

"Meet next time" is adult social jargon, in truth everyone understands there likely won't be a next time.

Li Fuhong ran over in a less dignified manner, trying to stop Old Qian from leaving.

"If there's any misunderstanding, I can explain. You can't just cancel our collaboration because of these accidents."

Qian Zhengxin stopped, "Mr. Li, let me be clear, there are many businesses we can partner with. It's not necessarily you. Doing business is like making friends; it also depends on fate. I think our fate isn't ripe yet."

Old Qian's words stunned Qian Zhengxin in place.

He could only watch as the other left.

Li Fuhong's face gradually turned sinister.

"Yue Qingqing!"

Each word seemed squeezed through clenched teeth, showing his extreme hatred towards Yue Qingqing.

Now he somewhat believes Zhuang Rouhui's prior words.

This cursed girl was born to be their nemesis.

The company's decline started because of her, and now she's ruined his business again.

He stared hatefully in Yue Qingqing's direction as she left.

One day, if this girl ever falls into his hands, he won't consider any kinship or affection; he must make her pay back double.
