235 The Good Daughter I Raised
“What do you mean by that?” Although Luo Shijie wasn’t cut out for business, he had been in the industry for many years. He could tell from the other party’s words that there must be some inside story.
“Who did you guys offend?” The other party lowered his voice.
“Ah?” Luo Shijie was stunned when he heard this. He tried to recall it. He hadn’t gone out to look for any girls recently, and he hadn’t slept with anyone’s wife. Who could he have offended?!
“That’s all I can say. Think about it yourself.” After that, the other party hung up the phone.
Luo Shijie really couldn’t think of who he had offended, but given the current situation, if he didn’t take any measures, the Luo family would be finished! He quickly gave Luo Qionglan a call.
“Shijie, what’s the matter?” Luo Qionglan was getting her nails done. She was simply enjoying her day.
“Luo Qionglan, quickly find my brother-in-law. Ask him to find out who the Luo family has offended. All the projects we have collaborated on were rejected one by one! If we wait any longer, the company will go bankrupt!” Luo Shijie’s mind was a mess, and his attitude toward Luo Qionglan was extremely rude. It didn’t matter anyway because women from the Luo family were meant to serve the men.
Luo Qionglan panicked when she heard this. “Don’t worry. I’ll ask my husband to cooperate with us!” Although she consoled Luo Shijie in this way, Luo Qionglan did not have any confidence in it. After all, He Qiu Shan was currently living off his shares and dividends. He had no say in the group at all.
However, at this point, Luo Qionglan had to give it a try no matter what! If the Luo family was finished, she would have no backing.

In the afternoon, He Qiu Shan returned from fishing with someone and saw Luo Qionglan coming up to him eagerly. She even pinched his arm and said, “Honey, are you tired today?”
“Of course, I’m tired. I’ve been fishing for an entire afternoon and didn’t catch a single fish. I’m so angry.” He Qiu Shan was tremendously unhappy.
“I’ll make you some green bean soup. I’ve already chilled it in the refrigerator. Do you want to drink some to cool off the summer heat?” Luo Qionglan asked gently.
No matter how slow He Qiu Shan was, he could tell that something was wrong. He looked Luo Qionglan up and down and said, “Did you take the wrong medicine?”
Luo Qionglan had always been cold and unkind ever since she had quarreled with He Xun and the others. Why was she being so gentle today? Those who were unconditionally attentive surely harbored some evil intentions.
“It’s nothing much. Shijie’s company is experiencing some problems. He seemed to have offended someone. The recent projects have all been terminated. He is very anxious. I just wanted you to help him ask about it since you have a lot of connections and a high status.”
One had to admit that Luo Qionglan was really good at coaxing people. With just a few words, she managed to make He Qiu Shan’s heart burst with joy.
At his age and with his sons as figureheads, He Qiu Shan couldn’t bear to hear others say that he couldn’t do it. In the afternoon, he had gone fishing at his old friends’ place and lost face. Now, he suddenly straightened his back.
“Just wait. I’ll get it with one call!” After he finished speaking, he took out his phone and called He Xun.
Luo Qionglan rolled her eyes in her heart. ‘You’re still relying on your son. Why are you pretending?’
“What do you need?” He Xun’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I’m just calling my son. Why does it have to be something I need?” He Qiu Shan was unhappy when he heard this.
“I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else.” He Xun didn’t buy it and was about to hang up.
“Wait! Luo Shijie’s company is in trouble. Can you help ask around? Others said that he offended someone. Confirm it. He’s a relative of our He Group. I’d like to see who dares to bully him!” He Qiu Shan’s face was serious.
“It’s me.” There were no fluctuations in He Xun’s voice.
“What?” He Qiu Shan was shocked.
“I did it! Luo Shijie should thank his good daughter!” After He Xun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Luo Qionglan snapped back to her senses and pointed at He Qiu Shan as she scolded, “What’s the meaning of this? Why is your son trying to mess with our Luo family?”
“You shut up!” He Qiu Shan slapped away Luo Qionglan’s hand that was pointing at him. She dared to point at his face.
“I don’t care. Quick, ask your son what’s going on. What’s the matter with Xinrui? She’s always been very obedient!” Luo Qionglan stopped pretending to be gentle.
When he mentioned Luo Xinrui, He Qiu Shan’s attitude also softened. After all, Luo Xinrui had played chess with him every day some time ago, which made him a little restless.
On the second floor, He Yeli was just about to go downstairs when she heard her parents’ conversation. “Uncle’s company is on the verge of collapse? This matter is related to my cousin, Xinrui?”
Although He Yeli didn’t like Luo Shijie, she grew up with Luo Xinrui and had a good relationship with her. Thinking of this, she quickly informed Luo Xinrui.
[I heard my dad talking to He Xun on the phone. They said that Uncle Shijie’s company is collapsing and that it has something to do with you. What’s going on?]
