Liu Jiahui felt a wave of relief as he noticed that Charlie appeared to have feelings for his daughter.
The decision had been made; now it was just a matter of when Charlie would take the bait.
After finishing his meal, Liu Jiahui remarked, “Mr. Wade, I have some matters to attend to with the group this afternoon, so I won’t be able to join you. Please let Manqiong show you around Hong Kong Ind.”<fn53e7> Content originallyes from find?novel</fn53e7>
Charlie nodded and replied casually, “If Mr. Liu has othermitments, I’m sure Miss Manqiong will keep mepany.”
Liu Jiahui smiled with satisfaction and directed his daughter, “Manqiong, please make sure to entertain Mr. Wade.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Liu Manqiong was straightforward, asking, “When will you arrange the 50 million donation you promised me?”
Liu Jiahui replied nonchntly, “As long as you behave, I’ll instruct the finance department to transfer the funds to your foundation’s ount within three days.”
Liu Manqiong nodded and said, “Since Mr. Wade is here as a witness, you must keep your word.”
“Of course!” Liu Jiahui responded earnestly. “You know me well; when have I ever gone back on my word?”
Charlie felt a twinge of difort at that moment, remembering how many times Liu Jiahui had failed to keep his promises. He was particrly aware of how Liu Jiahui had broken his word to his father after his passing.
Unaware of this history, Liu Manqiong felt reassured by her father’s statement and eximed, “That’s great!”
Charlie nced at Liu Jiahui, considering whether to ask if he still remembered Bruce and the agreement they had made.
But upon further reflection, he realized that posing such a question might lead Liu Jiahui to suspect that he hade to Hong Kong Ind for Arman, rather than for a business discussion.
There was a good chance that Liu Jiahui would connect the dots about his father, considering his surname, Wade, and the resemnce he bore to him.
With this in mind, Charlie chose to hold back his curiosity.
Having traveled over 10,000 kilometers to Hong Kong Ind, he was determined not to reveal his identity too easily; that would spoil the excitement.
So, he turned to Liu Manqiong and said with a smile, “Miss Liu, since we’ve finished our meal, shall we head out?”
Liu Manqiong agreed, “Sure, let’s go.”
Charlie stood and addressed Liu Jiahui and Fang Jiaxin, saying, “Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu, thank you for your kind hospitality. Miss Liu and I will be taking a stroll now.”
Liu Jiahui replied with a smile, “Alright then, Mr. Wade. Enjoy your time with Manqiong, and we can discuss business tomorrow.”
…
As Charlie and Liu Manqiong exited the restaurant together, she paused and said, “Mr. Wade, please hold on for a moment while I grab something from upstairs.”
Charlie inquired, “Miss Manqiong, do you need any assistance?”
“No, it’s fine,” she responded casually. “It’s just some personal items. Please wait for me here, Mr. Wade; I’ll be right back.”
Charlie nodded, “Alright.”
Liu Manqiong took the elevator upstairs, and after a brief wait, she emerged holding a cardboard box.
Charlie stepped forward and offered, “Miss Manqiong, let me help with that.”
Liu Manqiong smiled slightly, “Thank you, Mr. Wade.”
