Live-In Son-In-Law
Faubert, naturally, didn't believe Pinliang's words. From Faubert's point of view, Pinliang was most likely making things up. His relationship with Mengyao couldn't possibly be as he said. But Mengyao's phone was switched off, and Yushu couldn't be contacted. Pinliang was the key person, and he had to control him!
And so, Faubert quietly started the car and said to Pinliang, "Mr. Chu is still in the company, but I need to make a call to confirm."
"No problem, go ahead!" Pinliang was sure that Faubert couldn't do anything to him, so he didn't care. So what if he notified Pengzhan in advance? He would see Pengzhan sooner or later anyway.
Faubert nodded and dialed Pengzhan's number.
Pengzhan's life had been smooth sailing for the past few days. Without Jin Gubang and Xie Guangbo, the company's second largest shareholder, Lin Yi, had given Pengzhan full authority to make all the decisions. Whether it was the board of directors or the shareholders' meeting, everything had become Pengzhan's!
No small shareholder dared to jump out and go against Pengzhan! After all, Jin Gubang and Xie Guangbo's fate was clear for all to see. No one wanted to be the next target.
Pengzhan was in the middle of a shareholders' meeting, and no one dared to turn on their phones. Of course, Pengzhan himself was the only exception. No one dared to say anything.
Pengzhan looked at the caller ID and picked up the phone, "Li Fu, what's up? I'm in the middle of a shareholders' meeting. "
"Mr. Chu, Mr. Zhong Pinliang wants to see you," Faubert cut to the chase, "Miss should be in his hands."
"What? Yao Yao is in Pinliang's hands? "Pengzhan was stunned. He didn't expect Pinliang to be so daring as to kidnap Mengyao! Pengzhan had gotten used to his authority recently, and now that someone dared to kidnap his daughter, he was enraged.
Faubert wanted to explain, but Pinliang grabbed the phone from him. "Give me the phone, I'll talk to Uncle Chu!"
Faubert didn't insist and passed the phone to Pinliang. In truth, Faubert didn't know what Pinliang did to Mengyao.
"Uncle Chu, I'm Zhong Pingliang!" Pinliang accepted the phone politely, trying to make his tone as respectful as possible. As far as he was concerned, Pengzhan was going to be his father-in-law soon.
"Pinliang, where's Yao Yao?" Pengzhan wasn't in the mood for small talk. His tone was cold.
"Uncle Chu, Yaoyao has agreed to be my girlfriend. We just confirmed our relationship today. She is resting in my house now!" Pinliang said. "I was thinking about discussing our engagement with Uncle Chu!"
"Yao Yao agreed to be your girlfriend?" Pengzhan frowned. "Come to my company now."
Pengzhan didn't express his suspicions. Some things couldn't be explained over the phone. He needed to see Pinliang first. He still hadn't figured out what Pinliang was trying to do.
"Okay, I'll be there now!" Pinliang saw that Pengzhan didn't suspect him right away, instead asking him to talk to the company. He thought that Pengzhan believed him, and was overjoyed. He hung up and ordered Li Fu. "Did you hear that? Uncle Chu wants you to bring me to the company. "
"Okay." Faubert didn't say anything else. He put away his phone and turned the car towards Pengzhan Industries.
Pinliang was in a very good mood as he looked at Pengzhan's skyscraper. He was about to become Pengzhan's son-in-law, and Pengzhan didn't have a son. Did this mean that the family business would be his from now on? With that in mind, Pinliang started calculating in his heart. When he saw Pengzhan later, he'd do whatever it took to convince him to accept him as his son-in-law!
Pengzhan was in the middle of a meeting when he heard that something had happened to his daughter. He ended the meeting quickly and returned to his office.
In fact, Pengzhan didn't really believe Pinliang's words. His daughter would've fallen for Pinliang a long time ago if she could. She wouldn't have waited until now! Pinliang's claim that Mengyao had agreed to be his girlfriend was complete bullshit.
But Pengzhan was puzzled. Why would Faubert be messing around with Pinliang? There could only be one reason. His daughter was missing! Faubert must've gone to pick up his daughter from school. He must've waited for Pinliang because he didn't get his daughter.
With that in mind, Pengzhan gave Mengyao and Yushu a call, confirming his suspicions after hearing that their phones had been turned off.
Pengzhan was calmer than usual after the company's turmoil, and as anxious as he was, he didn't let it show on his face. He sat quietly in front of his desk, waiting for Pinliang to show up.
After about half an hour, Faubert brought Pinliang to Pengzhan's office.
"Hello, Uncle Chu!" Pinliang bowed to Pengzhan as if he was a son-in-law visiting his home.
"Pinliang, have a seat." Pengzhan gestured for Pinliang to sit. He then turned to Faubert. "Pour some tea."
"How can I trouble Faubert? I'll do it myself!" Pinliang was overjoyed. Was Pengzhan accepting him? Otherwise, what kind of status did Fu Bo have? How could he let him pour tea for him personally? Pinliang knew about Faubert's identity through his uncle- he was a man of authority in the company. He might only be a driver, but he was Pengzhan's confidante. Normal employees wouldn't dare let Faubert pour tea for them. Faubert only worked for Pengzhan and Mengyao!
Now that Pengzhan was letting Faubert pour tea for him, did that mean that he was accepted by Pengzhan as his son-in-law? Pinliang thought excitedly. He hadn't even said anything yet, and Pengzhan believed him already?
"You kidnapped my daughter?" Pengzhan's cold voice rang out in his head.
"Wha?" Pinliang was just about to take the cup of tea from Uncle Fu when he jumped in fright, dropping the teacup in his hand onto the floor, shattering into pieces. "Uncle Chu … Don't say that, I … How could I possibly do something illegal like that?"
