We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 277 A Deep Question

What did she mean? Jing Lu said that with Christy Zhong presence, which would make her very embarrassed. Christy was blushed. But she still managed to force a smile. But people all knew she must feel terrible.

"Mom. Dad. Grandparents. We'll go to see my elderly brother and sister-in-law," said James Feng flatly. Then he decided to leave here holding hands with Christy. After all, if people had nothing in common, exchanging a few words can be difficult. They'd better leave here.

However, Xiuhua Du stopped him. "Wait. James. Yvonne is here. It's impolite if you don't greet her. How is the project that you two are engaged? She is your business partner. Considering this, you need to meet her and be a gentleman."

Hearing that, James hesitated. She was right. Their families began to cooperate in business. They each would get harmed if one of them cried off. But nobody could make sure things would go smoothly, for the situations were changing at all times.

It's important for them to be sincere and communicate more.

Then Leiting Feng said immediately, "No matter whether you like her or not, you must be careful with business dealings. Now that she has come here, you must make her a satisfying guest. Otherwise, you would account for any problems of the project."

His words made James very annoyed. But considering he was his grandfather, he didn't retort. He was at home, so he must control his feelings.

But he still said angrily, "Grandpa. Now I'm responsible for the majority of things in the company. Somethings other people make a mistake. It is me who pick up the pieces."

That's true. Zhenxi Feng ever made a dreadful mess of things many times. James then helped him to handle things well. But he didn't plan to mention that. It's like claiming his credit, which would make people of the family very sensitive.

However, James knew that it's necessary to let them know their performance. Otherwise, they would think they had all done a good job in the company. At last, the one who contributed most received the same treatment with others.

Leiting and Tianyue Feng were very clear about their performances. Though they didn't know the details, they knew who did most of the work and whether they had handled things well. They were used to seeing the big picture.

Hearing his remarks, Leiting glared at Tianyue and said in a calm voice, "Before you make any decisions, you must listen to James' advice. Don't decide anything without telling others."

Though he sounded calm, they all knew that he really meant it. He was not giving him advice but orders.

After Tianyue realized what he meant, he immediately nodded. "Okay. Got it." But to his mind, James was his son. As his father, why did he need to listen to his advice?

The situation was very complex. In many families, grandpas always defended their grandsons, while the grandsons sometimes stood up to their fathers. As an old saying went, even an upright official found it hard to settle a family quarrel.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As long as the family conflicts didn't escalate, they could all tolerate them. And there wouldn't be any big problems.

Actually Leiting and Xiuhua were distressed. The two old men wanted to restrict Tianyue and Jing's power, but they hadn't found the best candidate. They all favoured James. But he's on Jing's side. "You can discuss in the study about business. And what about Zhangdong?" Xiuhua reminded them.

Right. They all heard that Zhangdong Feng didn't plan to leave again. And he told them he wanted to run some of the family's business. Leiting and Xiuhua were rejoiced to hear the news, for they knew that Jing and Zhangdong didn't get along well with each other.

When Zhangdong was a teenager, something terrible ever happened between them. And now people in the family didn't dare to mention it for fear that it might hurt them.

Considering that, Leiting and Xiuhua realized they could manage to let Zhangdong stand on their side, or join them to develop their forces.

"I'll arrange this. Ask him here after a while. I'll talk with him." Leiting was always very calculating. And he had a tacit understanding with Xiuhua.

Then James said, "I'll inform my bother." He planned to leave here.

In fact, Jing also didn't want to be with them. She knew they didn't like her. If she could have her own choice, of course, she would leave here. But now she had to stay here and maintain the harmony for her benefits.

In the final analysis, it was because of Tianyue that Jing didn't get along well with the families. He didn't show enough love and affection for her. And the only thing she cared that his love. If a man didn't strive for something or someone, he couldn't make things turn out to be good only with the help of others.

"Christy. Follow me," said Jing. She was willing to sacrifice her own benefits. Her words made James speechless. After all, she had already made sacrifices. Why didn't Christy do that?

Christy froze and stopped. Then she turned around and said gently and meekly, "Manager Lu!"

James originally decided to stop it. But on second thought, she was his mother. And it's not easy for her to live in the family and work in the company. So he shouldn't humiliate her. What's more, he was clear about what she was going to do.

So he answered drily, "Well. Christy will stay with you. I'll go to ask my brother here."

His words showed his love for Christy. And he was also warning them not to embarrass her too much. He would protect her.

Realizing what he meant by saying that, Jing said without any emotions. "Do your bit."
