Chapter 157 - 157 Looking Down
157 Looking Down
“Le Wan’s still so naughty.”
Mrs. Fu couldn’t tell which of her words were true and which were false. From her perspective, she naturally had to treat all of these words as jokes.
“Look at your joke just now, it scared your brother Fu.
She tried to help her son out.
“I don’t know much about the company’s operation, but I think there must be a lot of things involved. Fu Sui is only managing the company now. In fact, he doesn’t have much power in the company, so it’s not that he’s unwilling to give you the shares, but he can’t make the decision himself. So, no matter how much you like it, Le Wan, he can’t fulfill this bet. How about this, I have a very beautiful set of necklaces made of the same material as that bracelet. I’ll give it to you as compensation, okay?”
“Forget it, forget it. I can’t take your things. If I do, people will say that I’m a money-grubber and mom will scold me again when I get home. No.” Le Wan waved her hands.
“As for the bet, I was just making a casual remark at that time. I didn’t think of using it for anything. But since the bet has been made, I can’t go back on my word. After all, the results haven’t been announced yet. If I lose, I’ll be the one to be blamed for not keeping my word.”
Le Wan rubbed her chin gently. When the Fu family’s mother and son were both worried, she said slowly,
“I’ll say it again, I don’t have anything I want right now, so I’ll keep it for now. When I think of something else I want in the future, I’ll ask Brother Fu, okay?”
Hearing Le Wan’s words, Mrs. Fu and her son were slightly relieved.
Although Mrs. Fu was a little angry that Le Wan didn’t relent and nullify the bet, as long as she didn’t bring it up in front of everyone, they would have plenty of excuses to reject her in private.
The topic ended, and the Fu family’s mother and son quickly found an excuse to avoid it.
The people around them watched a great show and left in satisfaction to socialize with others. The rest of the people were the ones who were closer to the Le family and Mama Le.
They patted Le Wan’s shoulder affectionately.
“It seems that our Le Wan has really been wronged.”
The engagement between the Fu family and the Le family was not fake, so there must be a reason for the sudden cancellation. For a tactful person like Mama Le to allow Le Wan to speak so rudely, it meant that she must have some resentment in her heart, which was why she didn’t stop Le Wan.
But, since Mama Le had said this to the public, they couldn’t get to the bottom of it. However, there were still many discussions behind her back.
For example, Madam Nie, who had been slapped in the face in front of the Le family’s mother and daughter, turned to the others after watching the confrontation between Fu Sui and Le Wan.
“It’s said that President le and his wife are kind and charitable. Maybe this time, they saw that this kid is poor enough, so they brought their daughter out to help the poor.”
Madam Nie clicked her tongue and her smile hid some evil intentions.
“It’s said that the Le family values their daughter more than their son, but in my opinion, that’s not necessarily the case. Although the second Young Master of the fu family was a bit flirtatious, which man didn’t like to play now? The Le family had abandoned such an elegant Young Master with an extraordinary family background and went to pick a poor boy. He said that he loves his daughter, but he’s probably afraid that his daughter will find a powerful in-law to fight for the inheritance, so he might as well choose someone who has no money or power and send her away.”
Madam Nie was famous in the circle for favoring boys over girls. Her two sons were treasures, and her daughter was grass.
Miss Nie was clearly born into the Nie family, but her life was worse than that of an ordinary family’s daughter. Madam Nie was a biological mother, but when she treated her daughter, she was like a stepmother. As a result, after her daughter became an adult, she asked for a sum of money from her father to go abroad and never came back.
If it were any other parents, they would have been worried. However, Madam Nie claimed that it didn’t matter if her daughter came back or not, but she was afraid that she would come back to fight for the inheritance.
These things were not a secret in the circle. Some people didn’t like her behavior and were even more ashamed of her “judging others as herself” behavior. They said,
“Just look at Miss Le’s outfit today. Who would dare to say that their family doesn’t value their daughter?”
Madam Nie pouted.
“The Le couple is so prideful. Who knows if they’re just taking these things out to keep up appearances and locking them back in the cabinet as soon as the banquet is over?”
