Chapter 579: Then Stay Hungry and Eat Nothing!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This was exactly what the Chu family was worried about. They had no idea about Fu Huai’an’s plans. On the one hand, they were worried that their shares would turn into worthless paper if the Kaide Corporation was ruined in the hands of Lu Qingmei, that stupid woman!

On the other hand, they were worried that this was a plot by Fu Huai’an, one to advance under the guise of retreat. If they sold their shares at a low price and Fu Huai’an returned to the Kaide Corporation after, her Chu family would suffer a great loss!

The Chu family, which couldn’t bear to part with the profits, faced a dilemma!

“Yo, President Chu is treating Mr. Fu here like a fool!” Bai Xiaonian rubbed it in.

Fu Huai’an pressed upon the turntable on the round dining table and returned the file to Chu Xun without having touched it. “Take this back!”

Lu Jinnan nodded, speaking bluntly, “Right, it’s not a share transfer form, so it’s nothing much to look at!”

Previously, Lu Jinnan had helped Chu Xun, so Chu Xun thought she had established something of a friendship with Lu Jinnan. She didn’t expect Lu Jinnan to speak so bluntly to her now!

Chu Xun subconsciously felt that this was Lu Jinnan—the man working under Fu Huai’an—pledging his loyalty to Lin Nuan, and she felt disdainful towards him because of it.

“President Chu…” Lu Jinnan laughed. “To be honest, I have dumped all of my shares in the Kaide Corporation. If you don’t believe it, you can go ahead and check! That being said, these shares are no different from waste paper to Huai’an. Otherwise, I would long have sold my shares to Huai’an and made a killing! He has the money anyway!”

He was mocking Chu Xun for trying to make a killing off of Fu Huai’an. Her plan had failed.

Chu Jiaoyang had no idea what was going on. She had taken a seat beside Chu Xun obediently, drawing a tissue and wiping her tears.

Neither of the Chu cousins looked good. The waiter took a glance when he was serving the dishes and thought that the people in the suite had ganged up to bully this pair of sisters.

Chu Xun felt like she was chewing a candle throughout the meal.

Chu Jiaoyang fixed her eyes on Fu Huai’an. Watching Fu Huai’an slowly peel prawns and scoop soup for Lin Nuan, her eyes reddened again.

That night, when she got back, Chu Xun recounted what happened in the restaurant to her father. She told him that Lu Jinnan had dumped all of his shares, so perhaps Fu Huai’an really had no intention of returning to the Kaide Corporation.

Chu Xun’s father was quiet for a long while before saying, “If Lu Jinnan dumped all of his shares, all the more I feel that there is more to this matter than meets the eye! Did Fu Huai’an really not want these shares?”

“Perhaps he feels that the price is too high…” Chu Xun continued, “Although Huai’an offered this price himself, the Kaide Corporation’s shares aren’t like they were back then. Dad… how about we lower our asking price? Shall I try again?”

On the other end of the line, Chu Xun’s father kept silent, only speaking after a long while. “Let me think about it…”

After hanging up the call, Chu Xun hurriedly called Old Madam Fu and reported to her, tactfully telling her that Fu Huai’an likely had no intention to return to the Kaide Corporation. She couldn’t persuade Fu Huai’an in her capacity as an outsider!

Old Madam Fu nearly had a heart attack, pressing Chu Xun on whether Fu Huai’an was still in Venice right now. After getting affirmation, Old Madam Fu had her people arrange a plane to fly directly to Venice; she was going to speak with Fu Huai’an personally.

Chu Jiaoyang hugged onto her pillow. Seeing Chu Xun pacing up and down on the phone after returning and not making an effort to pacify or console her, her tears began falling more rapidly.

She couldn’t understand it. In the past, no matter where she went, she was the one most doted upon. Why did Brother Huai’an mistreat her after Lin Nuan appeared! She had already seated herself next to Brother Huai’an, but he still asked to exchange seats with that wicked woman in a wheelchair, making her feel embarrassed!

She was clearly so pretty! People clamored to sit next to her!

Also, she didn’t say anything wrong. Even if they were to go out for a meal, Aunt Xia would be the one sitting next to her father and bringing food to his plate and scooping soup for him, while she sat with her own mother!

Why couldn’t she sit next to Brother Huai’an?

She didn’t even mind that Brother Huai’an’s wife was Lin Nuan, so why was Lin Nuan treating her so fiercely…

Kids’ thinking could be so naive.

Chu Xun was feeling vexed when she turned her head around and saw Chu Jiaoyang wiping her snot and tears with her head lowered. Seeing this superficial little cousin of hers, Chu Xun felt a headache setting in. She shouldn’t have listened to her mother and brought Chu Jiaoyang along!

She was in Venice for the Chu family, not to play!

“Jiaoyang…”

Chu Xun called Chu Jiaoyang by her name. Chu Jiaoyang raised the tissue in her hand and complained to Chu Xun, “Sis… this tissue isn’t soft at all! The skin on my nose is so tender, it hurts my skin! What kind of tissues did your assistant buy! Is this really the best? Or is even your assistant bullying me!”

Chu Xun was speechless.

Chu Xun rolled her eyes in her heart. This little cousin of hers had been beautiful since she was young, resembling a doll, so everyone in the family doted on her, especially Chu Xun’s second uncle and his wife. They protected the child particularly well, such that the child was still naive and innocent even at this age. She was innocent like a white piece of paper, and she was simpleminded too!

So simpleminded that it gave Chu Xun a headache.

To put it bluntly, she was clueless! Chu Xun felt that some of this kid’s sense had gone to her mother!

Chu Xun called her assistant and got him to buy Chu Jiaoyang some baby tissues.

Only then did Chu Jiaoyang start crying and wiping her tears and snot with her tissue.

“Stop crying! You didn’t get to eat properly just now, so I’ll order you some food from the restaurant. What do you want to eat?” Chu Xun asked.

“I won’t eat until Brother Huai’an apologizes to me!” Chu Jiaoyang sounded tough.

Chu Xun was speechless.

Chu Jiaoyang was the Chus’ little princess, and she had been thoroughly spoiled… so much so that she regarded herself as everyone’s princess.

Even her, as the second missy of the Chu family, wasn’t as spoiled as this one! She wasn’t born a princess, yet she regarded herself as one!

Chu Xun felt vexed, her anger rising.

“Then stay hungry and eat nothing!” Chu Xun frowned, then threw the document file on the coffee table. “Ask Fu Huai’an to apologize to you and coax you to eat? What are you in Fu Huai’an’s heart? Are you his wife or his lover? Even if you starve to death here, what effect would it have on Fu Huai’an? No effect at all! At most, oh, someone he knew died! Get it?”

Chu Xun was saying this… not sure whether it was for Chu Jiaoyang’s benefit or as a reminder to herself. Her chest was heaving up and down violently, and her face was pale and ghastly looking.
