Novel Bin Chapter 209 - A Suggestion
She had the urge to laugh again but she composed herself like a professional asking, "Who is it?"
"Um... Well, he says that he’s your father." Qin Hao stated rather uncertainly.
Xu Mey immediately stood up and frowned. "Send him in." Qin Hao nodded before closing the door.
After a few minutes, Xu Cheng opened the door to her office and took slow but steady steps inside. Looking at Xu Mey, he smiled gently.
"Dad, what’re you doing here? Are you even allowed to leave the hospital?" Xu Mey inquired with worry and held his arm to help him take a seat at the sofa.
"I’m fine. And even if I’m not allowed to leave the hospital, I had to." Xu Mey’s brows furrowed at his reply. Xu Cheng sighed and said, "Your grandfather called and asked me to come home as soon as possible." He stared at Xu Mey with amusement as he added, "And I believe it has something to do with you."
Xu Mey rubbed the tip of her nose sheepishly and asked, "What are you implying, dad?"
"That news scandal is your doing, isn’t it?" Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes at her.
"It is." Xu Mey answered honestly making Xu Cheng chuckle softly.
"What are you planning on achieving by doing this?" He questioned as he turned his body towards her.
Xu Mey pursed her lips, pondering for a while in silence before looking into Xu Cheng’s eyes. "Actually you can help if you want to."
"Do tell. Dad will do anything for you."
Xu Mey smiled faintly at his reply and told him, "I’m sure that grandfather called you to discipline Xu Liqing. Also, if my sources are not wrong, Lu family elders will also be there along with Fu and Jun family members. Because these four families are involved in the scandal, in one way or another."
Xu Cheng nodded his head saying, "I know that. Father told me that these families will be there."
"Ahan! That’s the right time then." Xu Cheng raised his brows at her inquiringly. "Dad, you have to do only one thing and that is, propose the idea of marriage between Lu Ge and Xu Liqing."
Xu Cheng was dumbfounded with her suggestion. What was she planning on doing? "Mey, what are you trying to do?"
"Oho, dad! Look! Just do as I tell you to. You have to force them for the marriage to mediate this situation." After all, once this marriage is set, only then will I be able to use the content in hand. She sneered inwardly as she thought, ’I’ll make you cry tears of blood, little sister!’
Xu Cheng observed her expressions for a while before inhaling a long breath and said, "Okay. I’ll do exactly what you said." He placed his hand on Xu Mey’s head to stroke it but her body stiffened under his touch. Xu Cheng felt sour in his heart but he smiled to not let his sourness show. He stroked her hair affectionately before getting up to leave.
After Xu Cheng left, she received a call from Fu Shuang, "Have you heard about the important meeting between the elders?" He straight got to point without dilly-dallying at all.
"I have." She replied languidly.
"What’s the next step?" He asked.
"Just agree with whatever my dad suggests at the meeting." She answered nonchalantly.
Fu Shuang scowled at the other end. "Okay... Oh, I almost forgot, I heard a very strange thing this morning."
"Strange people like you can only hear strange things." Xu Mey teased him making him frustrated.
"Very funny! Anyways, it’s about Lu Ge."
"Oh, really?" Xu Mey pretended to be surprised. "What is it that you heard?"
"I heard that he’s in a hospital right now as for what happened is not disclosed. But the Lu family is covering the truth by saying that he was under immense stress because of the scandal." Xu Mey sneered in her heart at that lousy excuse.
"Let’s see how long they can cover the truth for," Xu Mey murmured in a low tone.
"Why do I have a feeling that his hospitalization has something to do with you?" It wasn’t a hunch. More like, his heart was adamant on believing that she was somehow involved in this for sure.
"And if I say that I am involved completely, then?"
"Then I can only say, well done!" Fu Shuang answered cheekily. "Oh, right! Have you seen Jun Li Na, everyone’s looking for her."
Hearing Jun Li Na’s name, Xu Mey went quiet for a while. "Master Shuang, Can you tell me what is your family and Jun family planning on doing with the marriage between Lu Ge and Jun Li Na?"
Fu Shuang was surprised that she suddenly brought up this topic but he still answered, "I talked to aunt and she seems to be in a dilemma."
"Dilemma?" Xu Mey spoke inaudibly and tapped her fingers on the tabletop.
"Okay, you do as I told you. Agree with my dad’s suggestion at any cost. No matter how absurd it seems to you." With that, Xu Mey hung up the call.
She called Qin Hao back inside and said, "I need you to get me some footage."
Qin Hao covered his mouth with his hand. "Oh, get over it. It’s nothing like that. I want you to get security footage." Qin Hao uncovered his mouth and relaxed a bit.
"Is it urgent?" He questioned.
"Very." Xu Mey curtly answered making Qin Hao nod his head and turn back to leave.
