Chapter 370: Wei Qingxue's Dilemma, Huge Financial Crisis
"She's my wife."
This sentence made Ma Jialiang feel a wave of heart palpitations.
Ma Jialiang really couldn't understand why Wei Qingxue would marry Lin Fan, someone from the lower rungs of society, a delivery person; is Wei Qingxue out of her mind!
Ma Jialiang looked down on Lin Fan from the bottom of his heart. He believed that Wei Qingxue would eventually divorce Lin Fan because they were mismatched in social status, destined not to last long, so he wouldn't give up pursuing Wei Qingxue.
He, a distinguished Ma Family son, defeating a delivery person, should be as easy as pie.
Ma Jialiang sneered, "Kid, don't get too full of yourself..."
Wei Qingxue interrupted Ma Jialiang, "I have something to say to my husband, you head inside first."
My husband!
These words really grated on the ears of Ma Jialiang; his words were choked up, and he glared at Lin Fan before walking away sulkily.
Lin Fan smiled, "Dear wife, did I do okay just now?"
Wei Qingxue blushed, "Don't call me that, it's so embarrassing."
Lin Fan said, "Alright, dear wife."
Wei Qingxue broke into a sweat, truly helpless against Lin Fan, she had no choice but to let it go, saying, "Grandpa kept me here; this is likely a trap; we absolutely can't let anything slip."
Lin Fan seriously said, "Don't worry, dear wife, I've got it covered."
A private room in the hotel.
Several tables were set, and the Wei family members gradually seated themselves, Elder Wei accompanied the Ma family father and son at the main table, along with some of the Wei family's elder members.
The other younger generations were scattered at different tables.
Between Ma Jialiang and Li Xueyan, only one seat was left empty.
Seeing Wei Qingxue come in, Li Xueyan immediately beckoned to Wei Qingxue, "Qingxue, come sit here."
Ma Jialiang smiled happily.
Wei Qingxue hesitated for a moment but still walked over.
Lin Fan saw this and followed suit.
"Haha, everyone move a bit, make space for me." Lin Fan said.
No one moved.
"Do you have any manners, this is all elders, the seats are full, go sit elsewhere." Li Xueyan said with a stern face, in her view, Lin Fan's actions were very disgraceful.
Moreover, she really disliked this live-in son-in-law; how could a delivery person be worthy of Wei Qingxue!
Lin Fan chuckled, "Ma Jialiang is not my elder; he is an outsider sitting here, I am Qingxue's husband, why can't I sit?"
"Rascal!" Li Xueyan got angry, "Jialiang is today's honored guest, what sort of thing are you!"
Upon hearing this, those around burst into covert laughter.
Elder Wei wasn't too pleased, "Everyone quiet down, there's a distinguished guest here, don't embarrass us, Lin Fan, right, why don't you sit at the table next door."
Ma Yunde laughed lightly, "Elder Wei, what's the deal here, Qingxue niece kept everyone in the dark, and married this delivery man?"
There was a hint of disdain in Ma Yunde's words; in his eyes, Lin Fan, a delivery man, was indeed like an ant.
Elder Wei felt a bit awkward, "Pardon me, dear nephew, I will certainly provide an explanation for you."
Wei Qingxue said at this point, "Lin Fan, it's alright, go sit next to them."
Ma Jialiang looked at Lin Fan proudly; so what if Lin Fan was Wei Qingxue's husband, wasn't he still the one sitting with her.
Since Wei Qingxue spoke, Lin Fan didn't say much more.
"Alright, I will do as you say." Lin Fan said, then walked over to sit at the neighboring table; though he couldn't sit with Wei Qingxue, this spot was still close to her.
Next to Lin Fan sat a little beauty, probably Wei Qingxue's cousin, who looked at Lin Fan with disdain, wanting very much to change seats, but since Elder Wei had spoken, she dared not act rashly and just kept rolling her eyes at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan smiled, "Little sister-in-law, do you have an eye condition, should you see a doctor?"
The little beauty almost got enraged but, concerned about the situation, dared not retort, simply turned her face away, ignoring Lin Fan.
Wei Tang was sitting opposite Lin Fan, looked at him with schadenfreude.
At this point, the server had already brought the dishes.
Over at the main table, Ma Jialiang proactively served Wei Qingxue dishes, showing great diligence.
Wei Qingxue remained cold throughout, showing no reaction.
Lin Fan observed this, but acted as if he hadn't noticed, focusing on eating his meal.
"Delivery trash, your wife is sitting with another man, you must be feeling humiliated, right?" Wei Tang suddenly chuckled.
Whoosh!
Lin Fan was eating, but a mouthful of rice sprayed out, covering Wei Tang.
"You!"
Wei Tang jumped up, almost furious.
"Sorry, your joke was so funny, it literally made me spit rice," Lin Fan laughed, apologizing.
Wei Tang was about to burst into curses.
Elder Wei spoke up from across, "What's going on, there's a guest here, what's all this noise?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Elder Wei, this brother was telling jokes, too funny, I couldn't help myself for a moment."
Elder Wei glared at Lin Fan, given his status, it wasn't appropriate to reprimand Lin Fan over such a trivial matter on the spot, helpless he said, "Little Tang, hurry and clean yourself up."
"Yes, grandpa." Wei Tang refrained from shouting at Lin Fan, swallowed his anger, glared fiercely at Lin Fan, then ran out.
Lin Fan continued to eat and drink as if nobody was there.
The little beauty beside him rolled eyes to the heavens; this waste, how could he be so presumptuous, simply brazenly arrogant.
"Really courting death, do you know who you've offended, what good does it do for you?" The little beauty couldn't help but mutter.
Lin Fan said, "Who is he?"
The little beauty replied, "He's called Wei Tang, the Crown Prince of our Wei Family, grandpa's favorite grandson. He always clashes with your wife, as they competed for the CEO of the company, and he lost. You've offended him, just wait to be dealt with!"
Lin Fan oh-ed, so Wei Tang always had a conflict with Wei Qingxue, then spraying him with rice was just perfect.
Lin Fan laughed, "Thank you little sister-in-law for reminding me; by the way, what's your name, little sister-in-law?"
The little beauty glared at him, "You think you are worthy of knowing my name?"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Little sister-in-law, your jokes are funny too, aren't you afraid I'll spray rice on you?"
"Crazy!" The little beauty huffed, truly fearing Lin Fan would spray rice on her, she shut up.
"Everyone quiet down," Elder Wei spoke up, "Today I gathered you all here to announce something important."
The main issue has come!
Everyone paused their chopsticks, and the room quieted down immediately.
Elder Wei said, "Here's the thing, our Wei Family faced a business project failure last year, resulting in financial difficulties for the company, urgently needing capital injection. I'm announcing this to you all for the first time, even Qingxue wasn't informed."
What?
The Wei family members upon hearing this news changed expressions.
Wei Qingxue couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, what project failed, why am I unaware?"
Elder Wei said, "Our Hang City project failed, and incurred huge losses. The company's board has already been informed, I deliberately kept it from you, originally thought of sparing you the concern, I planned to solve it myself, but after utilizing many connections, I still can't fill this financial hole."
Wei Qingxue turned pale, "The Hang City project... failed?"
The news was too shocking for her, because the Hang City project was initially spearheaded by her.
