Chapter 599: Yu Zhongjing Slapping Others in the Face Over the Phone

Yu Mufeng’s lips twitched uncontrollably as he mumbled disdainfully under his breath. “Hehe. Fancy an old man in his fifties asking money from a teenage girl. Billions, on top of that. You sure have the cheek to do that.”

His father frowned when he failed to catch what he said. “What nonsense are you saying again?”

Unabashedly, he put on a poker face to ask, “Since you still have money, why did you come back?”

Yu Zhongjing felt good to be rich, so he did not scold his son for asking that question and instead turned his gaze to the contracts on the coffee table. “I’m considering which company we should work with to produce the biopharmaceutics.”

Yu Mufeng picked up a cold can of Coke and took a sip as he shot a side-glance at his father, who was flipping through the Bai family’s contract. “The Bai family has the most attractive terms, but there are a few other offers that aren’t too bad either…”

His eyes widened slightly at the mention of the Bai family before narrowing them again. He put down the drink, tossed his game console aside, then stood up to walk over to the lounge area. “The Bai family wants to work with us?”

His father nodded and handed him the contract. “Here, take a look.”

Fury churned within him when he saw the words ‘Bai Pharmaceutical Group’ on the front. Not even bothered to peruse it, he tore the contract into pieces and dumped them into the trash bin, cursing, “To hell with that! They have the cheek to ask for a partnership!”

His actions baffled the middle-aged man. “What? Did the Bai family offend you?”

“Offend me? He offended my grandmaster!” Sneering, he recounted this morning’s incident to his father with some embellishment.

“D*mn it! Someone’s out to plot against my rich and easy-going master again!” Yu Zhongjing exploded in anger when he heard that. Picking up his phone, he furiously scrolled through his contacts to look for Bai Yufang’s number. “They offended my master, yet they still want to work with me! Dream on!”

…

Meanwhile, after Bai Yufang found out about Gu Mang’s relationship with the Lu family, even though he did not say it, he could not help but think that Gu Mang insisted on driving his granddaughter away because she had the Lu family to back her up. Should this news spread, there was no telling how others would view and talk about the Bai and Su families. All his granddaughter did was swap Gu Mang’s script. It did not end up affecting the military training assembly in any way, yet Gu Mang refused to let Su Jiaying off.

As he wondered just what exactly Lu Chengzhou saw in Gu Mang, his phone rang, disturbing the peace and quiet in the spacious living room. He took out his phone, only to be surprised when he saw who the caller was. It took him a moment to gather himself before answering the call. “Zhongjing.”

Bai Lin had no idea what Yu Zhongjing said over the phone, but the moment his father’s face turned grim, the entire living room’s atmosphere became tense as well. His father’s calm and controlled tone belied the unsettled feelings that sprouted within him, evidenced by the way he squeezed his fingers. “Didn’t you tell me that you needed a month before you could give me an answer?”

“The answer will be the same anyway. Goodbye,” said Yu Zhongjing in a cold voice. It was unlike his usual easygoing self. He hung up the call.

Bai Yufang’s expression turned even darker than before, which prompted his son to ask, “What’s the matter, Dad?”

Thud! He placed the teacup on the coffee table with a livid expression on his face. “Yu Zhongjing called to refuse our offer.”

“He refused to work with us?” Bai Lin looked at his father in surprise. “But who else can he work with other than our family?”

They had never expected the other party to reject their proposal. They were so close to getting the partnership, but in the end…

Bai Yufang simply could not understand it. Just this morning, Yu Zhongjing had kept their contract, meaning that he had considered working with them. In less than a day, however, he called to say that the deal was off. On top of that, his attitude just now was different.
