Chapter 9 Let Us Talk Nicely

• At this moment, Cui Tianci was at the Tianyi Group, feeling utterly defeated.
• He hurried back to his villa and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Huang Lamei sitting on the sofa, chatting with a middle-aged man.
• That middle-aged man was his father, Cui Haifeng, the CEO of Taian Group.
• He was the one who hijacked Xu Muqing’s project that she had spent several months on.
• Cui Haifeng was expressionless however his eyes shimmered with cold viciousness.
• “Oh, our little hero is back! Tianci, come sit next to grandma. Did you manage to meet Mr. Liu?”
• Huang Lamei looked at Cui Tianci dotingly as she hurried her over.
• Cui Tianci forced a smile as he replied, “Grandma, I met Mr. Liu.”
• “Is the contract signed?”
• Cui Tianci hesitated for a while before he uttered, “When I went over, Mr. Liu wasn’t there. But don’t worry grandma, I’ve given him a call and he promised that we will sign the contract tomorrow.”
• Huang Lamei’s eyes narrowed on Cui Tianci. “Are you lying to grandma?”
• Cui Tianci waved his hand quickly as he replied, “Why would I lie to you?”
• Although Huang Lamei was a woman, she would not be easily fooled.
• She and her husband, Cui Taian, started out as a small vendor. They had been in this industry for more than half of their lifetime, coming across countless people with different temperaments and behavior.
• When Cui Tianci entered the room earlier, Huang Lamei had already caught on to his awkward expressions, fueling her suspicions.
• Huang Lamei stared at Cui Tianci skeptically, “You know, the one thing that grandma hates the most is lying. Even if you are my grandson, if you ever lie to me...”
• Right after Huang Lamei said this, Cui Tianci fell onto his knees with a loud thud.
• “Grandma! Liu Delun is refuses to sign the contract with us!”
• Huang Lamei’s brows furrowed upon hearing that. “What happened? I thought this has been agreed upon, no?”
• After that, she cast a questioning look at Cui Haifeng.
• Cui Haifeng was relatively calm. He lowered his voice and said, “Just tell me what happened.”
• Cui Tianci quickly explained, “Grandma, Dad! It was the Xu family! They snatched the project from us! It must be Xu Muqing, that vixen! She must have slept with that Liu Delun!”
• Huang Lamei frowned and said, “Just tell me what happened!”
• Cui Tianci recounted his experience in the Tianyi Group.
• It turned out that he had been refused entry and he did not even enter the gates!
• Cui Tianci was pretty sure that Xu Muqing must have slept with Liu Delun to gain his favor. After all, the Cui family was no stranger to these filthy tricks in gaining advantage.
• Cui Tianci and Huang Lamei’s sunk into their seats in distress.
• “Grandma, Liu Delun said that he would only pass this project to Xu Muqing’s company. He even said that...”
• Huang Lamei immediately probed, “What did he say?”
• Cui Tianci rolled his eyes and said, “He said that Taian Group is just a small workshop so we are not worthy of his time and his projects.”
• “Humph! He also started out as a street vendor. How dare he belittle our group! So this Liu Delun had the nerve to go against our family, eh?!” Cui Haifeng snorted coldly as he heard it.
• Huang Lamei hissed coldly. “Let’s set our personal grudges aside! Before we cut all ties with them, we must win the tender at all cost!”
• Cui Haifeng smiled with confidence, saying “Mom, leave this to me!”
• As he spoke, Cui Haifeng took out his cell phone and made a call, “President Hong, it’s me. Hahaha, long time no see. I heard that you have a good relationship with Liu Delun, the boss of Tianyi Group.”
• Cui Haifeng deliberately turned on the loudspeaker to showcase his ability and connections to his mother.
• From the phone, a male voice was heard speaking loudly, “Yes, I am tight with Liu Delun! In fact, we grew up together!”
• Cui Haifeng laughed as he continued, “Haha! That’s great! President Hong, I need a favor from you. I have previously negotiated with Mr. Liu on a project. But he changed his mind last minute and decided to work with the other company instead. Can you please help me out?”
• President Hong agreed without hesitation as he reassured him, “That’s easy! Leave this matter to me! I will settle it for you.”
• After hanging up, Cui Haifeng smiled with confidence.
• Huang Lamei also nodded in contentment.
• “Tianci, you are still young, you have to learn more from your father.”
• “Yes, grandma, I will learn from dad!”
• Cui Tianci then turned to face his father as he said, “Dad, please bring me along when you are seeing President Hong.”
• Cui Haifeng announced confidently, “I am sure he will be able to settle everything by tomorrow. I will bring you along to my meeting with him at Golden Harbor tomorrow.”
• “Alright!” Cui Tianci nodded very excitedly as he asked his father, “But dad, what are we going to do with the tiny Xu Family and their company?”
• “Humph! After this matter is settled, I will get Master Ye to destroy their family!” Cui Haifeng replied in anger.
• Xu Muqing was finally discharged from the hospital, looking healthy and revitalized.
• Their household was increased to include an additional family member during their trip back home. Li Hang stayed true to his identity of the Xu Family son-in-law and insisted on following Xu Muqing back home.
• In the Xu family residence at Sunshine District.
• This area was an old community with decades of history.
• Xu Muqing’s home was minimalistic.
• There were three rooms and two halls. Inside, there was nothing particularly valuable.
• After dinner, they suddenly came to realize that they had yet to decide on where Li Hang should sleep.
• As Liu Yufen and Xu Muqing washed the dishes in the kitchen, she whispered to her daughter,
• “Qingqing, let him sleep with your brother.”
• Xu Muqing was about to speak when Xu Haoran poked his head in from the door suddenly. “Mom, my room is like a battlefield. How can brother-in-law sleep with me!?”
• Hearing that, rage brewed within Liu Yufen. In her fury, she picked up a kitchen knife.
• She was prepared to throw it out with a flick of her elbow!
• Xu Muqing hurriedly calmed her down, “Mom, it’s okay. He is a good person.”
• Even so, Liu Yufen was still a little worried. “But no matter what, you two are in the same room. What if he was disrespectful towards you at night?”
• Xu Haoran supported Xu Muqing’s claim as he urged, “Mom, you have to believe in brother-in-law! A dignified man like him will be a man of his word! Mom, we can talk in peace without having to wield the kitchen knife. Hehe!”
