Chapter 53: Don't Mess With Him

Xia Jiannan's face had long become black like the bottom of a pot, instantly filling the whole dining room with an eerie atmosphere that could make one feel uncomfortable.

Sensing the unusual quietness, Xia Jinhu turned to look at everyone while trying to figure out what was wrong.

When his gaze landed on Wang Rouxi, she merely smiled at him, not giving anything away.

Let us not talk about Lu Sha who looked as though he was only a step away from murdering someone, Xia Jinhu did not even dare to let his eyes linger on him for more than a second.

As for Butler Zuo and Secretary Cheng standing not far away from them, the two merely turned their heads away without meeting his gaze.

Xia Jinhu was hopeless and he had no choice but to turn to his parents, asking in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

Master Xia and Madam Xia exchanged looks but in the end decided to let their eldest son "take care" of his younger brother.

They were actually looking forward to watching how Xia Jinhu would be dealt with by Xia Jiannan!

If not for the fear of making the busybody lose his mind and get hysterical, the couple would probably ask the kitchen to get some popcorn to thoroughly enjoy the show.

It was high time for the mischievous Xia Jinhu to be punished for his shenanigans.

Based on this, it could be seen that the Xia Family was not as rigid as those other aristocrats and wealthy families who always put much more importance on wealth and power than the happiness of their family.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Rouxi was slightly in a daze as she tried to imagine what her real family was like.

Would they be just as laid-back as the Xia's?

What about her mother and father? Would they be happy to see her after all these years?

Of course, these questions would not be answered for now.

Wang Rouxi still had to wait until she met them to get the answers she wanted.

Thinking of this, Wang Rouxi decided to drop the matter for the time being and turned to Secretary Cheng who seemed to be a little fidgety.

"CEO Xia..."

Xia Jiannan tore his gaze away from his brother and looked at his secretary. With just a single look at him, he already knew what he wanted.

At this time, the dark look on his face cleared up and the corners of his lips turned up slightly.

But this smiling Xia Jiannan, to Xia Jinhu, was much more dangerous than the taciturn one, more so when he opened his mouth, "Since younger brother Jinhu thinks that he is more handsome and lovable than me, then I will let him chair the meeting regarding the business venture with the Lu Corporation today in my stead. I believe he will secure a deal with them with his extraordinary traits."

Hearing this, Secretary Cheng was hesitant, "But, CEO—"

How could Secretary Cheng not know the amount of time and effort Xia Jiannan spent for this proposal?

However, he still hadn't finished his words when he was cut off by Xia Jinhu's pleas.

"Brother! I know I am wrong! Please forgive me! You are the best brother in the world! I don't want to waste all that time and effort you've spent for this proposal because of my mediocre skills."

But would Xia Jiannan be moved by just these mere words alone?

Of course not!

After all, this little brother of his had been meddling in his affairs since yesterday. It was a must to teach him a lesson to mind his own business.

He still could not forget how this little brother had interrupted his fun time with Miss Rouxi last night inside the car.

Xia Jiannan did not bother with Xia Jinhu's pleading and looked at Secretary Cheng without a word.

Secretary Cheng knew that nothing could change Xia Jiannan's mind and he could only lament in his heart. "Yes, CEO Xia! I'll do as you say."

The old secretary bowed slightly to the Xia Family's Master and Madam before he looked over at Xia Jinhu whose face was deathly pale and filled with horror.

"Vice CEO Xia, I suggest we leave now and I'll brief you about today's agenda along the way."

"No!"

Xia Jinhu refused to budge, making it clear that he would not go anywhere else on his own accord.

Secretary Cheng was caught in a dilemma upon seeing the Second Young Master act like that. "This..."

"Di Er, right?" Just when he was about to turn to his Boss for help, Secretary Cheng saw him talking to one of the good looking young gentlemen. "Accompany my younger brother to the office."

With this arrangement, Wang Rouxi alone would be left to serve as Xia Jiannan's bodyguard.
