Chapter: 4583

Liu Jiahui's face turned bright red as he said, "I invited you to my home to discuss cooperation, not for you to take the opportunity to mock me! This is simply too impolite!"

Leaf Chen looked innocent and said, "Mr. Liu, what do you mean by that? I was laughing because Liu Missy had been teasing me, and we're all young people, so when she laughs, I just want to join in and have some fun with her - what's wrong with that?"

Liu Jiahui scolded him, "Don't you know what '燒鵝' (Roast Goose) means?! Your previous statement is tantamount to admitting that you did it on purpose!"

Leaf Chen looked puzzled and said, "燒鵝 (Roast Goose) just means burning the goose - aside from being able to eat it, what else could it mean? I was saying that because I thought Liu Missy was intentionally teasing me, trying to see if I could hold back my laughter, so I decided to play a small game with her and get to know each other better."

After finishing his sentence, Leaf Chen looked very seriously at Liu Manjiong and said, "As for someone as beautiful as Liu Missy, being able to make her laugh is an honor - I'm just saying that the ancients also say that 'A gentleman loves a beautiful lady' - when I see someone like Liu Missy, I naturally want to show off a little bit - what's wrong with that?"

As soon as Leaf Chen finished speaking, Liu Manjiong's expression suddenly became slightly unnatural.

She didn't expect Leaf Chen to suddenly steer the conversation towards himself, and besides teasing, it seemed that there was also a hint of sincerity in this line.

Liu Jiahui was also getting a bit confused at this time.

He really couldn't figure out whether Leaf Chen was intentionally teasing him or genuinely trying to win over his daughter.

If it was the former, he would definitely not be able to tolerate it and had to settle accounts with Leaf Chen; otherwise, how could he face his current identity and status? Moreover, his wife was sitting right in front of him, if he were to be ridiculed by someone in her presence, what would happen to his old face?

However, if it was the latter, the direction of this whole thing exactly matched his expectations.

Because, originally, his idea was to lure out his cold daughter and let her hook Leaf Chen's soul, then he could take advantage of the heat and seal a cooperation with Leaf Chen afterwards.

After cooperation was set in place, his daughter's nature would absolutely not give Leaf Chen any opportunities to gain an upper hand.

This way, he would be the one laughing all the way to the end.

Others would say that this trick is called "empty-handed wolf".

But to Liu Jiahui, it was clearly a master of cunning using fake bait to catch fish.

The ordinary fishermen would prepare various baits and fishing gear, trying to get the fish to bite first, just to catch a half-pound fish. But high-level fishermen are different, using only real fish bait that can be reused multiple times after disassembling it. So, at this moment, he didn't dare continue arguing with Leaf Chen over this issue.

After all, he was still planning to hook up with the big fish of Isu Maritime, so he wouldn't go out of his way to provoke Leaf Chen unless Leaf Chen directly accused him of being ridiculous, in which case he would have to pretend not to know about it.

Therefore, he quickly changed his expression and laughed, saying, "It seems that I misunderstood you, Mr. Leaf. I'll punish myself with a cup!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately raised the wine glass and finished the white wine inside.

Leaf Chen chuckled and nodded, saying, "I didn't expect it to be so frustrating for you, sir, over something as simple as burning incense. If that's the case, let's just not eat it tonight."

Liu Jiahui couldn't help but laugh at Leaf Chen's words, his expression firming up.

Leaf Chen waved his hand, looking at Liu Manjiong and laughing, "Miss Liu, don't you have plans to take me shopping on the island tomorrow? If it's convenient, why don't we just eat out somewhere tonight?"

Liu Manjiong was suddenly caught off guard by Leaf Chen.

She firmly believed that Leaf Chen knew the anecdote behind burning incense, so she intentionally wanted to guide him to admit it, but didn't expect him to have played a circle with his father and then wrapped this thing around again. JrNovels.com
