Chapter 184: Chapter 152: He’s Definitely Sleeping in Jiang Yixia’s Master Bedroom

Lu Yao asked in shock, "Lulu, are you saying your dad gave you a pass for unrestricted access to Spring Glow Garden?"

Jiang Silu nodded. "Yes."

"Oh my god, what kind of connections does your dad have? How is he so amazing?" Lu Yao exclaimed in envious surprise.

Song Miaomiao was also very surprised. She was finding it harder and harder to understand Uncle Lu.

’What kind of business is he even in?’

’He even knows the owner of Spring Glow Garden.’

Only Liu Shiting realized that the owner of Spring Glow Garden was very likely Uncle Lu himself.

’After all, only the real owner would allow his own daughter to come and go as she pleases.’

Although she didn’t know how much Spring Glow Garden was worth, it had to be at least in the hundreds of millions.

It seemed that Jiang Silu’s family background was far better than her own.

At this thought, Liu Shiting grew a little excited.

’If I succeed in starting a relationship with Jiang Sifan...’

’...then when Jiang Sifan reunites with Lu Fan, he’ll probably give his son a gift on the level of Spring Glow Garden, too.’

Liu Shiting resolved to make a good impression on Jiang Sifan.

Lu Yao looked at Jiang Silu and said, "Lulu, from now on, we can come to Spring Glow Garden to hang out together."

Jiang Silu nodded. "But it’s better if only the four of us know about this. I’m afraid if too many people find out, I won’t know whether I should bring them into the garden or not."

"Don’t worry, Lulu, we’ll definitely keep it a secret," Song Miaomiao said with a nod.

Liu Shiting chimed in, "Yes, we’re already so happy that you told us."

Just then, Lu Yao glanced out the window.

Since it was still early in the evening, they decided to go for a walk along the nearby riverbank.

They were quite envious when they saw the many beautiful yachts on the river.

"Wow, it would be great if we could hang out on one of those boats."

"They must be expensive, right?"

"Shiting, have you ever been on one of these boats?"

Liu Shiting nodded. "I have, when I was little. There are actually some cheaper yachts where you can have the experience for one or two hundred yuan, but they’re not as luxurious as these ones on the river."

"Even one or two hundred yuan sounds expensive to me," Lu Yao sighed.

Jiang Silu also took a few photos. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

First, she sent them to Jiang Yixia.

Then she posted on her Moments.

Her caption read: [So many beautiful boats on the river in Suzhou~]

At that moment, Lu Fan was on his way to Yangcheng.

He hadn’t originally planned to go to Yangcheng today, thinking he would tell Jiang Yixia about the oden snack shop’s opening tomorrow.

But then Huang Minghao’s parents had gone to find her.

So he had no choice but to "pay them a visit."

It was called "paying a visit," but in reality, he was going to hold them accountable.

On the way, he saw the Moments post from Jiang Silu.

When he saw that Jiang Silu seemed to really want to experience being on a boat, he said to Jiali, who was beside him, "Arrange for a luxury yacht. After my daughter’s internship is over, I’ll take her out on it."

"Yes, Boss."

Then Lu Fan asked, "You’ve found Huang Minghao’s family’s address, right?"

"Boss, we found it a long time ago. We’re heading to their house right after getting off the plane," Chen He said, a little angrily. "That couple actually went looking for the boss’s wife. They really don’t know their place."

Lu Fan didn’t say anything, but a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

Soon, they arrived at a high-end residential complex.

Although Huang Minghao’s father’s company was small fry compared to Lu Fan’s, it was still a physical business of some scale.

So it wasn’t surprising that they lived in such a high-end complex.

’Since he’s unworthy of his position, I have no intention of letting him keep so much wealth.’

He walked up to the door of Huang Minghao’s home.

Chen He pressed the doorbell, jabbing it repeatedly.

A voice from inside complained, "Who is it? Ringing the doorbell nonstop in the middle of the night."

When she opened the door, ready to let them have it, she realized the man in front of her, Lu Fan, looked somewhat familiar.

Seeing that it was Huang Minghao’s mother who opened the door, Lu Fan said calmly, "Minghao’s mother, I assume you remember me?"

It clicked for Huang Minghao’s mother, and she quickly nodded and smiled. "I remember, I remember. Of course, I remember."

She turned and called into the house, "Honey, come out here!"

"What’s all the shouting? Can’t you see I’m watching the game?" Huang Minghao’s father came out, looking annoyed.

But when he saw Lu Fan, his face immediately broke into a wide smile. "President Lu, hello! To what do we owe the honor? Forgive me for not greeting you at the door. Please, please, come in and have a seat."

Lu Fan walked in and glanced around. It was a large, single-floor apartment.

’The living conditions aren’t bad.’

But he hadn’t come here to admire the decor. Lu Fan sat down directly on the living room sofa.

Huang Minghao’s father immediately went to make tea. "President Lu, what would you like to drink? Pu’er or Da Hong Pao?"

"I won’t have any. I came here today mainly to discuss business," Lu Fan said calmly.

When Huang Minghao’s father heard this, he knew there was a chance.

’Jiang Yixia must have spoken to him.’

So, Huang Minghao’s father quickly said with some embarrassment, "President Lu, what happened before was truly a misunderstanding. Now that we’ve cleared the air... our company is actually quite good. I’ve been dealing with Manager Yan from your company for a while, and we were hoping to cooperate. But I’ve found that your company seems to be stealing our business. My small company just can’t take it. We’re on track to lose over a million this month."

"Yes, I know about that," Lu Fan nodded. "Which is why he was removed from his position a few days ago."

Huang Minghao’s father’s eyes widened when he heard this.

"What..." He looked at his wife, thinking he must have misheard.

Being a woman who didn’t understand business matters, Huang Minghao’s mother didn’t dare to interrupt.

Huang Minghao’s father suppressed his panic and asked cautiously, "What was the reason?"

"The reason is that he failed to conduct a proper background check when evaluating partners. I feel your way of doing business, Minghao’s father, is perhaps not compatible with our company. So I had the company terminate our cooperation with you and transferred Manager Yan, who was in charge of this area," Lu Fan explained.

Hearing this, Huang Minghao’s father grew anxious. "President Lu, I know you’re still angry about what happened with my brother-in-law. My family truly knows we were wrong, and we sincerely apologized. We even made a special trip to your wife’s flower shop to visit."

At that, Lu Fan slammed the cup in his hand onto the floor. He stared at him with a grim expression and said, "What do you think I came here for today? You actually dared to go to my wife’s flower shop and cause trouble."

"No... how can you call that causing trouble?" Huang Minghao’s father was extremely embarrassed. "We didn’t cause any trouble. We just spoke to your wife about the matter, hoping she might be accommodating."

"Accommodating? Fine. Tonight, you’ll write down the entire sequence of events on a whiteboard. Tomorrow morning, the two of you will go to the school entrance, kneel on the ground, and place the whiteboard next to you. After you’ve done that, I can be accommodating," Lu Fan said, his face expressionless.

When Huang Minghao’s mother heard this, she exploded.

She said angrily, "Wait, how can you do this? We’ve already been so subservient."

Huang Minghao’s father roared, "You, shut your mouth! What does a woman like you know?! Get out of the way."

Then he turned back to Lu Fan with a smile. "Um... President Lu, could we perhaps find a different way to be accommodating?"

"I won’t accept any other method," Lu Fan said calmly. "You should know, it’s very likely that the female student’s parents have no idea their daughter was bullied by your son. Do you know why?"

Huang Minghao’s father stammered awkwardly, unable to form a complete sentence.

Lu Fan spoke for him. "It’s because you and the principal are in cahoots. The principal knows what your family is like, so of course he favors you. He also knows that if he told the female student’s parents, it would probably cause even bigger trouble. Rather than do that, it’s better to appease the student’s emotions and minimize the incident as much as possible."

After he said this, the couple finally fell silent.

The truth was exactly as Lu Fan had described.

Unruffled, Lu Fan continued, "Of course, there is one other, more dignified method."

"President Lu, please tell us," Huang Minghao’s father said, seeing a glimmer of hope and immediately becoming deferential.

"Have your son kneel at the school gate while you two hold the whiteboard and apologize. Oh, yes, I think that’s better. After all, your son is the one who did something wrong. He should be the one to be punished," Lu Fan suddenly decided this proposal was better.

Huang Minghao’s father quickly tried to explain, "President Lu, my child is still a minor, after all. This doesn’t seem appropriate."

"You’re aware your son is a minor. Isn’t that female student one, too?" Lu Fan retorted.

He then stood up and said, "Those are the two options. Either you two kneel, or your son kneels. I’ll have people watching the school gate tomorrow. If no one is kneeling, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. You have one night to think it over."

With that, Lu Fan prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Huang Minghao’s father wanted to try and persuade him further.

But Chen He turned and shot Huang Minghao’s father a fierce look, scaring him so much that he didn’t dare take a single step forward.

After they left, Huang Minghao’s mother couldn’t help but curse, "What kind of people are they? They’re nothing but gangsters and thugs!"

She looked at Huang Minghao’s father and said, "Honey, let’s not do this. Worst case, we just won’t do business with them. Aren’t we doing fine now?"

"Fine my ass! Ever since this incident, all of our partner companies have been poached by them! They don’t care about profit at all; their only goal is to ruin us! We’ve already lost over a million this month! Another two months of this and we’ll have to file for bankruptcy!"

Huang Minghao’s father said angrily, "And it’s all your fault, with that good-for-nothing brother of yours! Now look, we’re about to lose everything!"

Hearing this, Huang Minghao’s mother became even more frantic.

’It’s over... My purses, my gold necklaces, my jewelry... is it all going to be gone...?’

She quickly looked at Huang Minghao’s father and said, "How about... how about you go kneel tomorrow?"

"Why don’t you say you’ll go kneel?!" Huang Minghao’s father fumed.

"I... I can’t bear the shame," Huang Minghao’s mother sobbed. "I’m always showing off in the class group chat. If they find out about this, they’ll make endless fun of me. You don’t usually go to the school, so they probably don’t know who you are."

"Are you an idiot? You think they won’t read what’s on the whiteboard?" Huang Minghao’s father stormed out, slamming the door.

"Where are you going?!"

"To figure something out!"

As for Lu Fan, after leaving Huang Minghao’s house, he said to Chen He, "Let’s go to Jinmei District."

"Yes, sir!"

Just then, Jiang Yixia had closed up her flower shop and was heading home.

When the elevator doors opened, she glanced at her neighbor’s door, as usual.

’Ever since Lu Fan bought this unit, he rarely stays here.’

’There are only four units on the whole floor, so there were already few people living here. Then that bastard drove my neighbor away, so now I don’t even have anyone to say hello to.’

"Bastard... it’s all your fault," Jiang Yixia muttered as she took out her keys.

Just then, Lu Fan suddenly poked his head out and asked, "Were you just cursing me?"

Jiang Yixia was startled and threw a punch out of reflex.

He didn’t dodge, instead taking the hit squarely.

When Jiang Yixia opened her eyes and saw it was Lu Fan, she was about to start cursing him out but noticed his nose was bleeding.

Now, she panicked.

Seeing her tense expression, Lu Fan immediately put on an Oscar-worthy performance. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed right onto Jiang Yixia.

’Tonight, Jiang Yixia’s master bedroom is mine for the taking!’
