The assistant shook his head. “CEO Ji, I think I know what you want to know. This is also what I want to report to you. The Fang family has returned all the new projects they received in the past two days.”

“Something’s wrong. Have you found out the reason?” The Fang family had returned the projects. Ji Lingchen had not expected this at all.

The assistant said, “The Fang family didn’t provide an explanation to the public. I had people secretly contact the source of the raw materials, but Chairman Fang rejected them all.”

Ji Lingchen was completely unable to figure out what the Fang family’s intentions were. Just as he was racking his brain, Fang Xiaonuan called.

Ji Lingchen actually did not know that this number was Fang Xiaonuan’s. It was only after he subconsciously picked up the call and heard the malicious “Uncle” that he recognized her voice.

“Fang Xiaonuan!” Ji Lingchen was a little angry when he heard this form of address.

“It’s me, uncle. Your father wants you to go home. He said that he has something important to tell you.” Since he had already revealed his “true colors,” it would be a little hypocritical for him to take it back now. Fang Xiaonuan gave Ji Lingchen an affectionate form of address — uncle.

From his tone, it was clear that he did not like this form of address very much.

Ji Lingchen held onto his phone and suppressed his anger. “Fang Xiaonuan, try calling me ‘Uncle’ again!”

“Uncle.” Fang Xiaonuan was in a good mood and immediately called him that.

“Now you’re starting to listen to me.” Ji Lingchen gritted his teeth and enunciated every word.

“Uncle, uncle, why are you angry that I called you ‘Uncle’? Come back if you can!” Fang Xiaonuan’s mood was very good. She enjoyed the fact that Ji Lingchen disliked her but he could not do anything to her.

Ji Lingchen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. ‘Hmph, this woman is really devious.’ She was trying to goad him into going home. He refused to return.

......

Ji Lingchen hung up the phone. Not long after, Fang Xiaonuan called again, “Tell me, what are you angry about! ! I’m not angry that you called me short! But, you’re angry that I called you uncle. You’re such a man and you’re still so narrow-minded. You won’t lose out if I call you uncle, right, uncle? Hello? Ji Lingchen...”

He hung up the phone again. Fang Xiaonuan looked at the phone screen and muttered to herself, “Ugh! No way, no way. This man is really narrow-minded. So what if I call you uncle? I’ll continue to call. I’ll anger you to death.”

Next, Fang Xiaonuan began making a series of angry calls. Ji Lingchen hung up immediately. If she called again, no one would pick up. She continued to call, but he was in the middle of another call.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “D*mn, he’s blacklisting me.” After realizing this, she went downstairs and picked up the landline to call Ji Lingchen.

At this moment, Ji Lingchen was about to have a meeting when he saw that home was calling. He picked it up and put it to his ear, but the voice on the other end of the phone was that familiar voice that provoked him. “Uncle, your father wants you to come back for something very important. Come back quickly, uncle...”

“Beep, beep, beep...” He hung up again.

Not long after, Ji Lingchen’s phone rang again. Ji Lingchen took a glance and picked it up immediately. “Fang Xiaonuan, are you courting death!” Updated from nov𝒆lbIn.(c)om

“Ji Lingchen, why are you talking to your wife like that?” Old Master Ji’s voice rang out. He had just come downstairs and saw his daughter-in-law, who had just entered the house. She was using the living room phone to make a call, and when he went up to ask, he found out that Fang Xiaonuan was calling Ji Lingchen. She was doing it for his sake.

Fang Xiaonuan said, “Dad, I heard that you had something to talk to Lingchen about, so I wanted him to come back.”

Old Master Ji’s gaze swept over Fang Xiaonuan’s innocent eyes, and he liked her a little more. He indeed had something to say to Ji Lingchen. Thus, Old Master Ji took the initiative to call Ji Lingchen himself. He did not expect to hear Ji Lingchen’s furious tirade as soon as he picked up the call.

Thinking of Lin Rou’s attempt at provocation, Old Master Ji became furious. “Ji Lingchen, you have half an hour to come back and apologize to Nuannuan!”

Old Master Ji’s loud scolding scared Fang Xiaonuan and she instinctively took a few steps back. She could not help but be curious. ‘What exactly did “Uncle” say to make Old Master Ji act this way?’

She did not know what was said on the other end of the phone, but she saw Old Master Ji angrily hang up the phone. He said to his daughter-in-law, who was trembling with fear, “Nuannuan, don’t worry. When Lingchen comes back, I’ll ask him to apologize to you!”

“Dad, there’s no need,” Fang Xiaonuan shook her head and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

Within half an hour, Ji Lingchen had indeed come home. The moment he entered the door, he saw Fang Xiaonuan, who was hiding behind Old Master Ji. At this moment, through his eyes, it seemed like this woman was deliberately acting pitiful in front of his father.
