Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 9

Chapter 1671: You Have Me For Everything

In the ward, Mother Manoban looked at the way Leo relied so much on Jennie. She sighed softly, "Leo, are you feeling ill anywhere else?"

The little bun was stuck in Jennie's embrace as he shook his head.

With Mommy around, he would be fine anywhere.

Jennie patted Leo's back and coaxed the little guy to sleep, then she looked to Mother Manoban and said, "Madam, I will give you a proper explanation about Leo getting food poisoning."

When she heard her, she did not know what to say. She was a mother as well. Whether or not a woman was genuine towards a child, she could roughly tell, but there was no knowing what was in a man's heart. This affected Leo's safety, so she dared not be careless at all.

"Mommy..."

"What's wrong, baby?"

"Sing me a song."

"Okay, I'll sing a song for you. What do you want to listen to?"

"Leap Frog."

"Okay."

...

When Lisa entered, he saw the girl hugging the child and humming a song softly. On the side, Mother Manoban looked at the two of them with mixed expressions and dilemma clearly written on her face.

"Jen..."

"Shh, softer. Leo's asleep." Jennie carefully put Leo back onto the bed before getting up.

When she walked out of the ward, Jennie's expression suddenly turned cold. Based on how the Manoban family valued Leo, they must have investigated immediately. If the problem did not originate from the Manoban residence or at school, then she was afraid that it had really originated from her end...

Lisa took the girl into his arms and hugged her in his embrace. There was a turbulent darkness in his gentle eyes. "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. Rest well, work easy. You have me for everything."

Jennie seemed deep in thought as she looked a little absent-minded. Then, she nodded unhappily. "Mmm."

...

In a blink of an eye, three days had passed.

In just three short days, too many things had happened. After Song Lin, the Manoban Corporation had three large shareholders switched sides.

GD now held a terrifying number of 28 percent of shares. In fact, he made it no secret that he was joining the Manoban Corporation's board of directors, roping in a group of shareholders and upper management who were unhappy with Lisa's harsh ruling and had originally been dissatisfied with him.

He had only returned in just a few short months, yet he had used a huge sum of money to purchase the Manoban Corporation's shares like mad. His actions were like a sharp blade stabbing into the Manoban Corporation's heart, causing the entire Manoban family and even the whole of Imperial to be anxious, dissapointed, and sorrowful.

When Father Manoban found out that even Chi Chengkai, who had been one of the earliest to fight with him, had also betrayed the Manoban Corporation, he was so mad that he fell ill. In front of him, he had pledged his loyalty, but behind his back, he had sold the shares to GD.

As they observed the situation turn grim, Mother Manoban was worried. "Why would Old Chi suddenly sell off his shares behind our backs? Could it be due to Yingying's elimination at the tea party? But... after that, because something happened to Leo, we cancelled the tea party..."

Father Manoban gasped for breath, his fingers trembling as he said, "Wife, immediately pay a visit to the Guan family. Remember to visit them more often. Some things that should be put into order should be done so now. Go and pass the message to Guan Rui. Just say it's from me!"

Even though there were many candidates among the socialities, the suitable ones were only those few. The Guan family had strong forces within and outside of the company combined. Diana was also someone they knew through and through. She had known Lisa since they were children, so there was a certain foundation of camaraderie. In addition to that, he had always been playing matchmaker from within, and he had always been most inclined towards the Guan family.
