Chapter 367: Regular ups and downs
Chapter 367: Regular ups and downs
At Liang villa, Liu Jian and Liu Nian were taking their adorable nap in their crib. Nana was affectionately gazing at them with warmth in her eyes. She kissed their foreheads.
She was feeling a little bored, so she opened her phone to browse some news. One of them, in particular, widened her eyes in shock.
‘Liu Corps loses fourth deal in a row.’
‘Liu Corps shares crashing down.’
‘Moon Corps is giving a tough challenge to Liu Corps. Are they secretly in a feud?’
‘Will Moon Corps be able to take over Liu Corps?’
‘Is this the end of Liu Corps reign?’
Nana was dumbfounded to read the headlines one after the other.
“What happened? Is there is some problem in business?”
She felt worried. Liu Corps never faced such back to backslashes in business, and losing deals? No chance!
Her brows furrowed.
Jinhai…What is he…He must be worried about the present condition, right?
A maid knocked on the door.
“Young mistress. Mr. Liu is here.”
Jinhai. She glanced at the twins. She told him that he was allowed to come to visit the twins whenever he wanted. “En. Let him come inside.”
She nodded and went away.
Outside, Jinhai was standing, seemingly unaffected by how Liang Zou and Shin were throwing daggers at him.
They didn’t want this man inside their house, but they were helpless before Nana, who already decided to let him come to visit the twins.
Liang Zou warned him with a deadly serious voice. “Don’t even think about coming close to my daughter. Just meet the twins and go away as soon as possible.”
Jinhai smiled. “Yes, father-in-law.”
A vein popped on his head. “Don’t call me that!”
“Then what should I call you?”
“Heh. Just address me as Mr. Liang.”
Jinhai tilted his head. “But Nana is my wife. Mr. Liang sounds too distant. I should call you Dad like how Nana calls my Dad, but I am already compromising enough. Father-in-law is just fine.”
Liang Zou was about to burst in rage.
How dare you negotiate with me!
Shin’s brow twitched. He couldn’t believe that his precious sister married such a shameless man.
“I heard about Liu Corps,” Shin commented.
Jinhai raised his brow.
Liang Zou snorted. “What are you doing? Forgot how to do business? If these losses continue, then I won’t ever let my precious daughter be with an incapable man.”
Jinhai’s mouth curved into a smile. “Aren’t you forgetting that Dad is holding the CEO position now? I was kicked out. Blame him if you have to. My skills are just as top-notch. I understand, though. Age must be getting to him.”
In the office, Liu Hai sneezed loudly.
“Achoo!” He rubbed his nose. “Who dare insult me! Come forward!”
Liang Zou wished to vomit three liters of blood.
He is shameless even as a son!
But on a serious note, they understood that this wasn’t a simple matter. Somebody was deliberately attacking Liu Corps. That meant that there was a kind of strong resentment behind everything that happened.
“I don’t want Nana to suffer at all.”
Jinhai said, “Don’t worry, father-in-law. The situation is still under control. Whatever that man is doing behind the scenes, he won’t be able to win for long.”
The maid came. “Sir, Young mistress has asked you to come inside.”
He nodded.
Jinhai entered her room, holding a beautiful bouquet in his hand. He saw Nana, swinging the crib softly. He quietly stepped inside, and warmly smiled at her. “This is for you.”
She hesitated for a moment. “There was no need.”
Nana said, “…But thank you. The twins are asleep, though.”
“It’s alright. I don’t mind.”
Jinhai went over to the crib and saw his handsome princes sleeping peacefully. They looked so cute even when they were sleeping.
Jinhai softly poked their cheeks with his finger, and they sleepily giggled in response. Jinhai kissed their foreheads. He wanted nothing else but his children to be safe and grow healthily.
Nana stared at him, playing with the sleeping twins with a warm smile lit on his face.
Then she slowly asked. “Jinhai.”
“Hm?”
“Is there any problem in business?”
Jinhai looked at her, surprised. “Are you talking about the four deals?”
Nana nodded.
“Nothing much. It’s business. Wins and losses are a part of it.”
Nana frowned.
“But the news says that the condition is quite serious. I don’t understand much about shares, but I read that Liu Corps shares value is decreasing, which isn’t good for the company. And who is Moon Corps?”
Jinhai thought that he should teach the media a good lesson for unnecessarily spreading the news and worrying his little wife.
Jinhai softly patted her head. Her heart stopped beating for a moment, feeling his warmth.
“Trust me, Nana. It’s alright. It’s just the part of regular ups and downs in business. Surely, you understand that, right?”
Well, Natsukashi also faced some times when business was low.
“I understand. But why does it seem that Moon Corps is specifically attacking Liu Corps?”
“It’s nothing. Some minor rivalry.”
Nana’s intense gaze expressed that she wasn’t convinced, but she dropped the subject for now.
Jinhai said, “I also brought some soft toys for Jian and Nian.”
He opened the bag and took out some soft toys like fluffy bears, elephants, giraffes, and so on. He brought a small bell too, which he could hang on the crib. It rang a soft, melodious sound when you shook it.
“I think the twins will like it, don’t you think?”
Nana nodded. The bell’s sound was indeed pleasing to the ears.
Nana coughed a bit. “Y-you look after them. I will freshen up.”
She hadn’t taken her bath yet.
Jinhai’s eyes flashed with a strange light. “En.”
—
Shin was making some calls and giving instructions to the head nurse since he had taken a day off today.
When he returned to the living area, he heard some voices speaking.
Liang Xiao Dan said, “Mu Shuchun! After so long.”
Shin froze.
Shuchun is here?
Unconsciously, he clenched his fingers into a fist.
He heard Mu Shuchun say, “I apologize if I barged in suddenly. I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
Liang Zou waved his hand. “Why are you so formal today, child? You are welcomed anytime.”
“Shin! Where are you?” Liang Xiao Dan called him. “Look who is here to meet us?”
Shin took a sharp breath. He felt furious that Mu Shuchun suddenly came out of nowhere to meet them. His parents didn’t know the truth about what had happened.
But he…
Shin narrowed his eyes and walked out.
