Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fu Ting almost lost control of his emotions. He slammed the table and stood up, but he sat down again awkwardly . He looked at Old Master Lian’s serious expression and smiled awkwardly. “It’s been a few years since we last met. Little Jing, you might not know this, but I stopped socializing long ago. When I was in Liancheng, I only focused on work every day.”

“Is that so?” Lian Jing smiled faintly and drank a glass of wine. After a while, he slowly put down the glass in front of everyone. “But I heard that the branch in Liancheng has been incurring losses for the past year. A month ago, they even started to lay off employees. Is this the business that you’ve been wholeheartedly working on?”

“No, my company has encountered some difficulties, but I’ve already made arrangements before I left. As long as the plan goes smoothly, we can cover the deficit soon.” Fu Ting explained to Lian Jing and Old Master Lian anxiously.

He actually had another motive for returning now. He wanted to earn some money from his mother’s company to stop his company from incurring losses. Otherwise, once this matter blew up, not only would he lose face, but he would also completely lose the trust of Old Master Lian that he had painstakingly nurtured for many years.

However, he did not expect Lian Jing to openly bring this up at the dining table. How did he know so much?

Although Liancheng’s branch company was under the Jing Group, he had not reported to Llan Jing all tnese years. He nad also round vanous reasons to nre the veteran employees who used to be loyal Lian Jing. After the internal changes in the company, no one there should have any ties with Lian Jing.

Thinking that Lian Jing might still have spies in the company, Fu Ting could not help but break out in cold sweat. He really did not expect Lian Jing to know so much. If he even knew the company’s turnover, did that mean that he actually knew about Fu Ting’s performance in Liancheng?

Seeing that his ugly expression, Old Master Lian put down his chopsticks and his face darkened. ‘What problem did you encounter? Tell me. Lian Jing is very good at running the company. I can get him to help you think of a solution.”

“There’s no need, Grandpa. I’ve already thought of a solution. Before this trip, I’ve already handed matters over to my capable assistants over there. Nothing will go wrong.” Fu Ting rejected his offer with various excuses as his eyes gradually grew gloomy.

Old Master Lian’s words were undoubtedly a slap to his own face, clearly saying that he was inferior to Lian Jing.

He did not dare to let the Old Master know that he actually had no way to make up for the deficit. He must get money elsewhere. Otherwise, he would not have rushed back to the Lian family.

He was afraid that if he was too late, Lian Jing would monopolize the company. Then he would be at a dead end.

“Mm.” Old Master Lian did not want to reprimand his grandson in front of Shen Yin. He nodded casually and changed the topic. He would find an opportunity to get him alone later and ask him about it.

Fu Ting heaved a sigh of relief and became even more attentive to Old Master Lian. The atmosphere at the dining table finally relaxed a little. After the meal, the atmosphere between Fu Ting and Old Master Lian returned to normal.

After dinner, they chatted with Old Master Lian in the living room before Lian Meng returned.

The moment she entered, she met Old Master Lian’s stern gaze. She immediately shrank back in fear. Just as she was about to ask her brother for help, she looked to the left and saw the man, who had once been her nightmare, sitting beside her grandfather and staring at her with a smile.

Lian Meng almost stumbled. The blood flowed out of her head, and her hands and feet instantly grew cold. “Fu Ting, why did you come back?”

“Meng Meng.” Old Master Lian sighed. In the end, he could not bear to criticize his precious granddaughter. He said helplessly, “Your cousin came home today. Why didn’t you come back earlier?”

“I-I didn’t know.” Lian Meng looked at Lian Jing in confusion and saw him give her a look to calm down. Then, he turned around and explained to Old Master Lian sincerely.

“Grandpa, I didn’t tell Meng Meng because I was afraid that she would still feel burdened. Anyway, Fu Ting is living in the Lian house now. We’ll see each other sooner or later. Please forgive me for not asking your permission.”

Lian Jing explained it all logically. Everyone who knew about that secret scandal back then would understand Lian Jing’s concerns.

Old Master Lian glanced sideways at Fu Ting and nodded. “Although many years have passed since that incident, it has affected Meng Meng a lot. Little Jing was being considerate this time. Fu Ting.”

“Grandpa, I’m here.” Fu Ting’s expression was ugly but he still stood up patiently and respectfully, waiting for his lecture.

Old Master Lian gestured for him to sit down. Then, he took the initiative to hold Lian Meng’s hand and pulled her sit on his other side. He asked worriedly, “Meng Meng, do you still hate your cousin Fu Ting? He probably didn’t mean what happened back then.”

“I…” Lian Meng choked. She first looked at her brother as if asking for help, then shook her head gently and said, “I don’t hate him anymore. Cousin Fu Ting is Auntie Lian’e’s son. Why would I continue to hate him?”

When Old Master Lian heard her say this, he held her hand happily. “That’s good, but this time, I’ll make sure your cousin Fu Ting compensates you properly.. “
