Chapter 500 Everything Goes Well
"Your father can also do that. I know that he can do better than Charles. It could be seen that Anna believed in Derrick's capability so much.
Hearing her words, Joseph laughed a little. "Yes, my father is very powerful but I have to wait for him to recover first." There was a ghost of smile on Joseph's face. Nobody knew what was running in his head. As they talked, David was watching them in discomfort.
"Well, let's stop talking. The cook has already prepared the food. Let's have breakfast." For the whole morning, David was trembling like treading on thin ice. As soon as he heard Anna mentioned Derrick, he quickly shifted the topic.
To stop her from talking nonsense, David had been glaring at her but she just ignored him.
"Alright, let's eat. I'm almost always hungry recently. Maybe because I'm pregnant." Then she stood up arrogantly and went straight to the dining table.
"Look, the servants have specially prepared food that prevents miscarriage, all of which are my favorites," Anna said as she put the trotter into her bowl.
"Then you should eat more." Not waiting for her reply, Joseph picked up another trotter for her.
It was the first time that Anna gave him a polite look. "Thank you."
While putting food on his own plate, Joseph smiled to her as a response.
For whatever reason, David felt like Joseph was behaving strangely today. He just couldn't tell why. After what Anna did, how could he act liked a gentleman and even fill her plate with food?
Since he couldn't tell, David just shrugged it off for the meantime. He poured Joseph a glass of whiskey and himself. "Mr. Fu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
With a smile, Joseph accepted the glass. "Well, cheers! Congratulations! You'll be a grandfather soon."
Sweat trickled down David's forehead again. "Mr. Fu, thank you for that."
After saying that, David raised his head and drank up the whiskey in his glass.
Engrossed with the food she was eating, Anna didn't notice that Joseph put something in her glass.
Holding his glass, Joseph turned to Anna. "Oh, Anna, you said you wanted to propose a toast to me. There is red wine in your goblet. Can you have some?"
"Of course, a little." As Anna spoke, she raised her goblet and proudly clinked it with Joseph's.
"Come on! Drink it all. I'm drinking spirits, and you, it's just red wine." Urging her to drink more, Joseph held his glass high.
"Cheers!" Without any complain, Anna drank up her wine until the last drop.
The corners of Joseph's mouth turned up.
At this time, they heard a car stop in front of the house.
It was Anna who reacted first. The noise annoyed her so she shouted, "Who is so arrogant to drive the car into the yard? Butler? Butler!"
The butler rushed in. "Mr. Wang, it's Mr. Fu..." His eyes then fell on Joseph, which made him clear his throat. "Mr. Wang, Charles and Hiram are outside."
"They... Why are they here?" Needless to say, David was surprised. Why did these people suddenly come in the same day without a warning?
With his eyes fixed on the glass he was holding, Joseph asked sardonically, "Are they looking for me?"
Although David hated Charles, he couldn't deny the fact that he was afraid of him. So David quickly stood up and went outside. "Mr. Fu, nice to see you."
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, but he still tried to smile politely at Charles.
"Well... I heard that you had become a shareholder in my company, so I came to visit you." While Charles was talking, he gave a quick glance at the dining area.
His eyes spotted Joseph's car in the yard, so he knew his cousin was here.
"Oh, I am just a small shareholder. Please don't bother, Mr. Fu," David said humbly.
Afraid that this man would hurt Joseph, Charles came straight to the point. "I just saw Joseph's car outside. Is he here?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
But if Charles thought about it carefully, David didn't have the guts to do that.
"Yes, Mr. Fu has... No, I mean, Joseph has been here for a while." David didn't know how to address Joseph, and it seemed that there was no appropriate word to address him.
Although, Joseph had left TS Group, he hadn't officially resigned. And there was no official notice about Charles' returning to TS Group.
Suddenly, Joseph appeared with a black chicken in his mouth. "Charles, I'm having lunch now. Would you like to come in and have some?"
Hearing Joseph's voice, Charles finally felt relieved. "I've already had lunch."
Anyway, Joseph was fine now.
"Okay, I'll just finish my food." With a shrug, Joseph went back to the dining area.
"Okay." With David by his side, Charles followed.
"Oh, Mr. Fu, you are here. I'm sorry. I'm eating, too." Unbothered by his presence, Anna flashed a smile at him.
When he saw that she was safe and sound, he wondered why Joseph came to visit the Wang family today. Charles glanced at her contemptuously, and then his gaze went back to Joseph.
Everything seemed to be fine, like the calm before the storm.
"Mr. Fu, this way please." Scared the he might offend Charles, David spoke to him with so much respect.
"Okay." After giving Joseph one last glance, he followed David to the living room.
As a host, David was generous enough to also invite Hiram after making tea. "Mr. Sun, let's have a cup of tea together."
Before doing anything, Hiram looked at Charles first. "Come on, Hiram."
When Charles nodded at him, Hiram sat down on the sofa and politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang."
The three of them had some tea and chatted casually.
They were all absent-minded and listened to the movements in the dining room.
David was worried about Anna; while Charles and Hiram were worried that Joseph would do something stupid and impulsive.
Things didn't go as they thought. Based on their voices, the two were talking casually.
As a matter of fact, they sounded happy and harmonious.
This made Charles frown in confusion. He couldn't figure out why Joseph came here today.
Just to eat? It didn't seem to be Joseph's style.
As far as he knew, Joseph wanted to take revenge on Anna. But it didn't seem to be the thing now, did it?
After a while, Joseph came out of the dining room.
"Charles, I'm done. Let's go."
Nodding his head, Charles stood up and turned to David. "Okay, Mr. Wang. We are leaving now."
"Okay, take care, Mr. Fu." He got up to send them out.
Walking out of the living room, Charles whispered in Joseph's ear, "Get in my car and leave your car to Hiram."
"Charles, are you worried about me?" Joseph chuckled.
"I did it for Grandpa..." Not wanting to be heard by David, Charles lowered his voice.
"Well, I like that." With a mischievous smile, Joseph opened the door of Charles' car and sat in the passenger seat, while Charles sat on the driver's seat.
On their way, Charles couldn't help but ask, "Tell me, what were you doing in Wang family?" From the very beginning, Charles knew that Joseph had the tendency to do something stupid and reckless. He had to know it so he could prevent Joseph from getting into trouble.
"You probably know it. Otherwise, why would you come here to find me?" The smile on Joseph's face was actually creepy.
"Tell me, what did you do?" Charles really felt that Joseph came to the Wang family with a purpose. What was his motive?
"Haven't you seen it? Why do you still ask me?" Joseph still looked like a ruffian.
"Since you don't want to tell me the truth, I won't ask you anymore. But I'm warning you, Joseph, no matter how powerful the Fu family is, we are nothing compared with the law. You've learned the law, so you shouldn't go against it. Think twice before you do anything, understand?" Charles warned Joseph.
