Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 9

Chapter 1675: Spectator

"Of course, I believe in Lisa," replied Diana.

Mother Manoban nodded confidently. She thought about something, then said, "But, well, I still feel a little uneasy, so I'm going to Fahua Temple this weekend together with your Uncle and Leo! I wonder if you have time to join us?"

She wanted to create more chances for her to spend time with Leo, and together with the elders, it was a big recognition of her identity.

Diana and Mother Guan looked at each other and bobbed their heads up and down. "I do have time, Aunty. I don't have to go to the company on weekends, so I'm free."

"Great!" she smiled, then she chatted with Diana for a long time.

A short while after Mother Manoban left, Guan Rui came back.

"Father!"

"You're back!" Mother Guan went over and took Guan Rui's jacket for him.

"I heard your Aunty came over today?" Guan Rui asked his daughter.

Diana answered, "Mmm, she came over in the evening and just left not very long ago."

"What did she say?"

Mother Guan poured her husband a cup of tea, looking disgruntled. "What else? She's here to give us a treat! With the Manoban family in dire straits, of course, she would be impatient! Also... are you sure it's alright for us to stand by Lisa's side at this moment? I heard that the illegitimate child now has more shares than Lisa!"

"Hmph, that's a naive opinion. Shares aren't absolute. Lisa's strongest weapon is his reputation in the Corporation. Moreover, apart from his power on the surface, Lisa has a lot of underground forces that we can't see," Guan Rui said.

"That's right. Also, Lisa is the legitimate eldest son of the family. That man is just an illegitimate child who can't show his face," said Diana.

"So, you both mean that Lisa will surely win?" Mother Guan asked.

Guan Rui looked at her in the eye. "Of course not! That illegitimate child was able to build his fortune in just a few months after he came back. Do you think he's just a normal person? His background might be even more terrifying than Lisa's, but he does not have a solid base here. He'll be a powerful if he continues to grow. I don't know if Lisa can defeat him!"

Mother Guan became anxious. "Then, you still want Diana to marry into the Manoban family? What if..."

Diana frowned.

Guan Rui said in a carefree tone, "Since when did I mention that I'll let Diana marry him? Why are you so impatient? We'll just watch the show for now!"

Mother Guan was a little taken aback at first, then she understood the whole plan. "I got it!"

"She invited Diana to visit Fahua Temple this weekend. Should she go?" Mother Guan asked another question.

"Sure, why not? It's not a serious matter."

Guan Rui's intention was obvious. He wanted to give the Manoban family some bait, then act based on the situation since they had never promised anything anyway.

Light bounced off Diana's sparkling eyes. In the end, she never said anything and obeyed her father's arrangement.

...

The next day was also the fifth day since Lisa had made the deal with his father. The situation had intensified.

Lisa was pushed into a corner, and the people who were supportive of him now started to be shaken as they realized that the illegitimate child was extremely cruel. If they did not change sides soon, the people who still supported Lisa would be his next target after he shifted into a position of power!
