"Are you starting to take over the Mu Family's business? Wei Lingyu has been running amok lately; it's high time someone sorted him out."
"I'm dealing with him, not because he's my dad's illegitimate child, but because he's done some things that could hurt the Mu family."
"Well, he asked for it!"
The two men chatted while cooking.
Xia Pengpeng walked downstairs and saw this scene.
She was holding her cellphone, glancing at the caller ID, then went back upstairs and answered the call.
"Miss Xia, hello."
"Mr. Chesnutt, hello."
"That formality is rather cold. It's just a little after five in the afternoon, and I was wondering if I could have the pleasure of dining with you this evening?"
Xia Pengpeng had been waiting for Jack Chesnutt's call because there were business matters to discuss.
He hadn't called all day, and she thought he might have other arrangements and wasn't available. Yet, he chose this moment to ask her out for dinner.
