Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 926 - 923: Brat, Can You Let Me Finish Talking?

Chapter 64

However, if he was unwilling to go, he would never be able to get that phone back.

The old man prohibited him from meeting with the Lu Family, but aside from taking away his phone, he didn’t forbid him from contacting them. Initially, he thought of acquiring a number from someone in the Lu Family through other means, but as the Lu business grew and became more secure, ten years had passed without him finding a single number.

Nangong Xuan sighed in frustration, preparing to head back inside, when he saw the old man’s personal butler hurrying over.

"Young Master, the master wants to see you, there’s something he wants to discuss."

Nangong Xuan had no desire to go, suspecting it to be another trap, weary of being under others’ control.

But the butler pleaded, "Young Master, please just go over, the master is doing this for your own good."

Nangong Xuan’s expression darkened, yet he lifted his feet towards Nangong Li’s room.

Seeing him arrive, Nangong Li scolded him with a stern face, "You little rascal, it’s been a month, are you planning to never acknowledge your father again in your lifetime?"

"I wouldn’t dare," Nangong Xuan lowered his head, hiding his eyes.

Nangong Li didn’t bother arguing further, saying, "I can give you the phone back, but you’ll need to keep helping my friend."

"I object," Nangong Xuan blurted out without a second thought.

"You brat, can’t you let me finish first?" Nangong Li felt helpless towards his only son; ever since his mom was killed by those people ten years ago, he’d distanced himself from Nangong Xuan.

He disallowed Nangong Xuan from seeking revenge, so Nangong Xuan took it as a sign that he didn’t care about his mother.

"Here’s the thing, I want you to become an artist."

Nangong Xuan: "..."

"You’ve just been too introverted, bottling it up like this will only lead to problems sooner or later. Go on, leave tomorrow, and once you safely get to the company, someone will give you your phone."

Nangong Xuan left in silence, turning away.

The butler was somewhat anxious, "Master, the young master..."

"Let him be. Those old bastards are trying to stir up trouble again. I want to see what kind of storm they can bring!" Sending Nangong Xuan to Lu Jinyang was because Lu Jinyang promised him to ensure his son’s safety, and, furthermore, Nangong Xuan could continue helping Lu Jinyang.

If it weren’t for Lu Jinyang and his wife back in the day, maybe Nangong Xuan wouldn’t be here today. So, as long as Lu Jinyang’s requests aren’t excessive, he would unconditionally agree to them.

Nangong Xuan arrived safely at the airport, and the people picking him up took him to the car, sending him to his destination. Before he left, they handed Nangong Xuan a phone.

At this moment, looking at the skyscraper he found himself in, Nangong Xuan’s joy had long exceeded the delight the phone could bring.

He tucked the phone away and quickly walked inside, intending to head straight for the CEO’s office. However, he was stopped by the receptionist as soon as he reached the entrance.

The receptionist caught a flicker of amazement in her eyes upon seeing Nangong Xuan. She displayed what she thought to be a poised smile and said to Nangong Xuan, "Hello sir, who are you here to see?"

"Your CEO," he replied.

The CEO?

The receptionist maintained her smile, "I’m sorry, company policy requires an appointment to see our CEO. Do you have one?"

It was then that Nangong Xuan realized he didn’t even know who he was supposed to meet, so he said, "The CEO asked me to come. I’m the artist they specifically requested."
