OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 178 SUSPICIONS BEGIN TO UNFOLD
As a result of the visit from the uninvited guest in the morning, Xiao Jun finally missed his breakfast time. Grace's aggressiveness makes her fed up and full at the same time, she loses her appetite and has no intention of returning to her residence. With an empty stomach in the morning warmed by the sunlight, he walked towards the main hall to face the great master. In his mind there were many things he had to say right now.
“Honor to young master, you are asked to join breakfast with big master.” A bodyguard was sent by Li San to relay orders to Xiao Jun in response to reports of his arrival.
The right offer was iconic and received with pleasure by Xiao Jun, he was more eager to talk about serious matters with his stomach filled. As he grew older, Li San closed himself off and preferred to live his days independently. Only at a certain moment would he be willing to eat accompanied by Liang Jia, the rest of them did
individually.
“Cau shang hao (good morning), dad.” Xiao Jun bowed respectfully.
“Ng, sit down and eat. You must have missed your breakfast, right?” Li San guessed the exact condition of Xiao Jun so sorry with the habits of his son.
Xiao Jun nodded then took the portion of the meal accordingly. They eat in silence as if to live the taste of the cuisine which happens to be delicious.
“What do you think of Grace?” Li San asked breaking the silence.
Hearing the name called again automatically reminds vulgar memories that have not been passed an hour. Xiao Jun refrained from remaining calm before Li San. “He is ordinary, just like other girls dad.” Obviously Grace is considered ordinary, like a girl who is easy to find in general. Easy to fall in love to see the glare of treasure, face and throne. Only a rare Weini was found for Xiao Jun, and how lucky he was to know his lover.
“Hmm ... what is it? nothing special about him?” Li San was not satisfied with the standard answer, he tried to give an inducement to pry at Xiao Jun's heart.
Xiao Jun was silent for a moment enjoying the ginseng chicken soup that was still warm, he needed extra energy to discuss about Grace. “Iya, dad. While that's all I can judge from him.”
From the coldness of that answer, Li San knew that Xiao Jun was still not interested in the girl of his choice. However, he remained in the establishment will continue the matchmaking until the marriage stage. For hereditary heirs like he and Xiao Jun, love was not the main capital to obtain the next offspring. All must be according to the will and selection of the leader before deposing power to his heir. Li San was once young and felt that he did not need love to marry Liang Jia. They just need to obey the will of their parents and
prepare to become the next throne holder.
“Then what interest do you want to say now?” Li San switched the conversation, the bases felt sufficient. He was sure that there was something important that Xiao Jun wanted to convey until he approached her this early.
Xiao Jun finished his breakfast and placed the chopsticks on top of his bowl. “Sorry dad, it may not be appropriate to discuss this issue while eating, but this is important for me to convey.”
Li San allowed Xiao Jun to speak up through the gesture of his hand. Xiao Jun nodded respectfully in return thanks for the great master's open attitude.
“Daddy, sorry if I was presumptuous to ask. Upon my return and Lau's bodyguard, father handed over the company in Jakarta to whose hands? Did he report any liability for his work?” xiao Jun asked cautiously, he kept his tone so as not to offend Li San.
Li San frowned, Xiao Jun bothered to side with him for the sake of discussing business. He had thought that there would be a further negotiation in return for an arranged marriage, apparently Xiao Jun cared about business conditions. Li San was amazed at his son's sense of responsibility.
Chen Kho's? I underestimated his strength too much, he went into all aspects of this family's life. Xiao Jun's eyes just opened knowing the influence of the man he disliked was far from what he had expected. It was not only the company in Hong Kong that began to be mixed with the man, now he had access to shoplifting or the business empire that Xiao Jun had built abroad. Yang Xiao Jun was surprised, why the meticulous Li San could so easily believe that someone held almost all the secrets of his company.
“Yesterday when I got my phone back, the first thing I found out was the company news there. The online portal there is intensively reporting about our company which is threatened with bankruptcy after my departure. I didn't ask you to believe me right away, but at least please find out the truth. Dad must know what I mean.” Xiao Jun said seriously.
Xiao Jun's statement just now was like the sound of lightning in broad daylight, thunderous and shocking Li San. What he did was so easy to trivialize business affairs and entrust to his nephew. There can be no smoke if there is no fire burning, the local news there must have a strong source that can
predicting the health of the company. Regardless of whether true or not, if rumors have spread then it can be suspected that their business is not healthy. “Looks like I'm off guard about this, Xiao Jun while you're here go back to the company and check things out. I appointed Chen Kho as your temporary replacement here, please fix what went wrong from his job.” At Li San's orders, he began to worry about the fate of the company in Hong Kong which was in Chen Kho's hands.
“Good dad. What about those in Jakarta?” xiao Jun asked seriously.
Li San stared at Xiao Jun without blinking, a gaze filled with confusion. He must make decisions with a variety of speculations, missteps mean bringing the fate of his business mired deeper into the abyss. “You take care of the one here, after that go back there and finish!” As Li San said, he felt
the irregularity comes from here. The root of the problem should be removed before breaking the tree and branching the problem outside.
“Good, dad. One more thing, sorry this is beyond business matters. Please dad willing to listen!” pinta Xiao Jun lowered his head.
“Continue.” Li San replied firmly.
“About Chen Kho, do you know that he has a relationship with my brother?”
“Where did you know that?” Li San was certainly surprised, he even nearly forgot about this matter if Xiao Jun did not bring it up.
“Chen Kho admitted it. Father, with all your power I ask to keep him away from my brother. I was betrothed to his sister, their relationship should not be continued!” pinta Xiao Jun was firm. At least he wanted to see Li San's attitude, the rest with or without his help he would still separate them.
“You want dad to separate them in what way? Her father had already approved they would not even hear the reason for my refusal.” Li San exclaimed, he himself was pessimistic because he had discussed this matter with Kao Jing and ended up not being considered.
Xiao Jun had not expected that the undeniable Li San could submit to Kao Jing's will. Actually the most fearsome enemy was the closest person who was unfathomable, Xiao Jun was sure that there were still other intrigues they created if they were not stopped immediately.
“Please allow me to bring Brother Li An to Jakarta, indirectly they will separate father!” pinta Xiao Jun was firm, this was the best way he could help his sister.
