Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1657 Why Isn't Daddy Back Yet (Part Four)

The West Hill accident was a big blow to KD Group. In order to decrease the loss to the minimum, Rain

busied himself more than ever with fixing the issue and driving the company away from further

damage. Only occasionally when he sipped his coffee during a break or when he took a nap that This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Annie's beautiful face would flash in his mind. She was wearing a blue evening gown and smiling at

him.

Slim fingers tapped lazily on the sleek keyboard. "Uncle Rain, why did you have to ask me to design

the software? Don't you know I have much homework to do every day?" Justin said lazily as his eyes

darted to his uncle. In order to make Justin a qualified successor for the FX International Group in the

future, Edward had required him to learn a lot of things about the company. That was to say, Justin had

to learn the business of the company as well in addition to juggling his schoolwork.

"Do you think that I will believe a person who always hides in the corner to play the games would be a

busy one?" Huh, Justin was a cunning boy, and he was a lot like his father.

"I just want to relax myself a bit after getting too stressed with all the heavy homework. Do you really

hope that I die from overwork?" Justin sighed as his fingers stroked and massaged his forehead. When

he had finally found some free time to relax himself, he was unluckily caught by Rain.

"Cut it out! Don't pretend to be a poor boy. I know what you're like. It won't work for me," Rain said, as if

to crudely expose his lie.

"Uncle Rain, do you really want to treat me like this? Don't forget that I'm still a kid." Justin continued to

give Rain those puppy-dog eyes in an effort to try to get some sympathy out of him.

"Kid? Are you sure this word is for you?" Rain looked at him disapprovingly with contempt. This silly

"kid" had no idea how silly he sounded right now.

"So what? You can't deny the fact just because I'm smarter than any other kids. I'm just a prodigy."

Justin sighed once again. 'You're overestimating me! You asked me to design a software. Are you

kidding me? It's not just as simple as playing games. God knows how many brain cells it would kill if I

can finish that!' Justin thought.

"Yes, you're a kid. That's right. If that's the case then the new advanced laptop you asked for is gone.

You are a kid and kids don't need high-tech laptops." Rain wore a smug look on his face. 'Huh, you

brat! Just continue to play your tricks and pretend to be innocent.' Rain thought.

"Ah! Uncle Rain, What kind of software are you asking for?" Justin looked at him in shock and

immediately changed tactics. 'You sly man! How could you threaten me with the thing that I want the

most?' Justin internally grumbled.

"Wow! Why the sudden change of attitude? Weren't you having many excuses and thinking that you

are only a kid?" Rain said as he smirked, his eyebrows raised in mock surprise. As long as he knew

Justin's weak spots, nothing was impossible with the boy.

"Uncle Rain, who are you talking about? Is he a dumb twit to refuse such a good offer?" Justin

wondered innocently. He had gone all out to get the thing he wanted, even sacrificing his dignity. He

inwardly cursed himself for his defeat. 'No one can defeat the meanest person, ' or so as the saying

went.

"Well, what do you think? This is my requirement. Give me the result in three days." Rain put down the

file he was holding on Justin's desk as soon as he finished his words.

"What? Three days? Uncle Rain, did you just say it wrong? I think you might mean three weeks." Justin

glanced at the file that Rain flopped on his table. Damn, he would die young with such a daunting task.

"I know you can do it, but seeing your pitiful face, I can be lenient and give you a week to finish it." Rain

just took for granted that Justin could work for him. He was a match to Edward in regard to

cunningness, and many times it didn't fare so well for the people on the receiving end.

"Thank you for your kindness, my dear Uncle Rain," Justin replied in a gloomy voice. It was as if his

fate was sealed and he had fallen to the deep pits of hell.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your work now. Come on! The company's future lies in your hand!" Rain

waved him a cheery good bye as soon as he finished his words. Then he haughtily walked out of the

room.

'Huh! The company's future is too far for me! It would be years till I can take over the company!' Justin

thought. He made a face behind his uncle's back like an annoyed child. After Rain was gone, Justin

had no choice but to pick up the file from the table and study it carefully.

When Rain had stepped out of Justin's place, Anna was at the door waiting for him. "Mr. Xia, Mr. Mu

asks you to go to his office," she said respectfully.

"Anna, it seems that your married life with Aaron is very happy. You look good!" He was always

frivolous and carefree in front of people he knew well, as if he never seriously cared about anything.

When he faced people he hated or when it was about his work, it was a different story.

"What? Are you envious or jealous? Then why not find a wife and start a happy marriage like us? Don't

be all talk and no action!" Aaron's voice popped up as he came from the other side of the corridor and

he walked over to them. He appeared on perfect timing to save his wife from embarrassment.

"Aha! Someone got angry. Okay! I'll stop bothering you. You two lovebirds just continue your business."

Rain laughed jovially and then pushed the heavy double doors open, and entered the president's office.
