Chapter 230: Nothing Much, Just Gonna Make You Go To Hell! (16)
Luo Anning tossed and turned in bed before finally dozing off. However, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.
Rong Yan paused in his actions and asked softly, “Did I wake you up?”
Luo Anning shook her head and asked, “What time is it?”
“1AM.”
That means that he had been working at the desk for several hours and only fell asleep now.
Luo Anning sighed and pulled him to lie down beside her. She laid in his arms and said, “It’s getting late, hurry and get some rest.”
Rong Yan chuckled and kissed the top of her head. “Are you worried about me?”
“I thought I was being obvious enough.” Luo Anning had subconsciously picked up Rong Yan’s lingo after staying by his side for long enough.
After a while, she heard Rong Yan’s low and rumbling voice. “Anning, I’m going back tomorrow morning.”
Luo Anning raised her head and frowned a little. “What’s the hurry? No… I mean, did something happen in S City?”
Rong Yan’s dark and gloomy eyes glistened under the faint, yellow light and he said, “Nothing much but there needs to be someone at the headquarters. Once you’re done with handling the things here in London, let me know and I’ll come and pick you up. Alright?”
Knowing that he wouldn’t answer her even if she were to probe further, Luo Anning nodded and leaned on his chest again. The two of them then fell asleep in each other’s arms.
…
Due to the fact that MK Bank had been delaying the deposit of the funds for the second stage of the project, the lawyers at Baina International sent them a legal letter. On the day that they received the letter, Laurent was in the midst of having dinner with the head banker of a bank that MK Bank was in close relations to, in a bid to get some funds.
During the meal, she toasted to her seniors who were of the same age as her father. Hence, she could not find a reason to turn them down and hence had no choice but to drink it. Just as she was about to talk about the borrowing of funds, the door of the room was pushed open and the lawyer handed them the legal letter, making her drop the idea of asking for a loan.
Laurent’s face grew petulant and pale. She grabbed the legal letter and began chasing others away haughtily.
Actually, the legal letter should have been delivered to MK Bank and not to Laurent. However, Luo Anning intentionally got the lawyer to hand it to Laurent because she knew that the latter was going to try and suck up to the senior bankers today.
Firstly, she would show Laurent that Baina was bent on suing MK and secondly, she would also prove that MK Bank needed endless amounts of funds.
“Niece, I suddenly remembered that there’s something for me to handle at the bank. I’ll take my leave now. This meal is on me.”
“Laurent, I do want to give MK Bank some help but I’m helpless. I’m sorry… ”
“I may not be of much help but feel free to tell me what you might need in the future. I’ll definitely do my best to help when I can.”
“Sorry… ”
“I’m sorry… ”
After the Baina lawyer left, the bankers stood up and made excuses to leave. They were obviously terrified of getting implicated!
Those who had been trying to suck up to her family actually fled and scurried away when MK Bank was in trouble and needed help!
“Get lost! All of you, get lost and scram!” she barked angrily.
Laurent shivered in exasperation and swept all the crockery onto the ground, causing them to shatter into bits.
