Chapter 644: Chapter 645: The Missed Breakfast

Fu Han took several seconds to finally process what Su Cheng had said and when she did, her face turned completely stern as she looked at Su Cheng expressionlessly, "What did you say? Say it again!"

Although Fu Han’s voice wasn’t very loud, and her tone wasn’t particularly harsh, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive once she spoke.

Su Cheng was completely overwhelmed by Fu Han’s presence and his eyes darted everywhere, avoiding her gaze, but he still muttered stubbornly, "You know my situation. I really can’t take care of things here anymore, so I can only leave the company to you."

"I don’t have a problem managing the company; that’s what I did at the end of last year," Fu Han’s volume rose slightly, her usually gentle voice became icily sharp, "But when you say you want to give me the company, what do you mean by that?"

"This..." Su Cheng squeezed out a smile and in as calm a voice as possible said, "How about we treat this as a New Year’s gift from me?"

"That gift is a bit too precious," Fu Han bluntly expressed her disappointment. "Su Cheng, I’m very disappointed in you. So in your eyes, I’m someone who likes to gain without working for it; if you continue to think this way, then from today onward we’re no longer friends. Here, this is for you."

With those words, Fu Han took a bracelet off her wrist and handed it over.

It was a golden bracelet, delicately less than a centimeter wide, with the outline of a lotus drawn in simple lines. The center of the blossom featured tiny, sparkling diamonds—it was exceptionally beautiful, and Fu Han liked it very much.

To what extent did she like it? Despite knowing she shouldn’t wear Su Cheng’s gift often, she wore this one frequently.

Fortunately, even though He Xing knew this gift was from Su Cheng to Fu Han, he didn’t show any jealousy. Perhaps because he knew Fu Han only liked the gift itself, regardless of the giver.

One second, Su Cheng’s face was purple with strain, and the next, it had turned snow white.

His lips trembled several times before he finally couldn’t contain his surprise and joy, "Fu Han, you... are you wearing the bracelet I gave you today?"

"Yes, what’s wrong, is that not allowed?" Fu Han said with a sideward twist of her mouth, suggesting something deeper, "But I don’t want this bracelet anymore, and I won’t wear it on my wrist again."

"Don’t!" Su Cheng, as if the last straw on his back was broken, cried out excitedly, "Fu Han, this is my gift to you, please don’t return it. Consider it a plea from me."

Looking at Su Cheng humbling himself like this, Fu Han felt a rush of mixed emotions. She didn’t want to come across as heartless, but it was Su Cheng who had angered her first.

The corners of Fu Han’s mouth curved, and she spoke calmly, "In my heart, this object represents our friendship. But what you did today has deeply betrayed that friendship, so I won’t accept it anymore unless..."

"Unless what?" Su Cheng’s eyes, which had been filled with despair, suddenly sparked with excitement, like a drowning man who had just seen a lifebuoy, "Fu Han, tell me what to do, and I’ll do it."

Fu Han smiled and looked at Su Cheng calmly, "To me, friends should share weal and woe. The Huangpu family is facing tough times, and I regret that I can’t help you. I’m happy to manage the company you built from scratch, and that’s enough for me. But I don’t like the way you want to ’cut the Gordian knot’ to solve the problem."

"Then, I won’t do it like that," Su Cheng grabbed the printed agreement that was ready and tore it to pieces, his eyes alight as he looked at Fu Han, "I was just worried that you were taking on too much managing the company alone, and I wanted to give you more in return."

Fu Han knew that Su Cheng meant what he said, and she was also aware of his hardships during this period. Feeling pity, she no longer wanted to pressure him and slipped the bracelet back onto her wrist.

Su Cheng’s eyes darted around for a while before he mustered the courage to suggest giving Fu Han more shares. He felt the pressure on Fu Han managing the company alone was huge, and wanted to redistribute their shares.

Fu Han couldn’t resist Su Cheng’s insistence. Originally, her thirty percent share was purchased by herself, but now Su Cheng wanted to give her an additional fifteen percent as a reward for her hard work.

In the end, Fu Han persuaded Su Cheng and bought thirty percent of the shares from him, becoming the largest shareholder of Cheng Yihan Company.

Her plan had been to use all her savings to help Su Cheng, but he refused; so she took a legitimate way to move her savings by buying Cheng Yihan’s shares, thus transferring her money into Su Cheng’s hands.

An hour later, everything was completed. The company staff had already been arriving steadily, but He Xing still had not shown up or sent any messages.

Fu Han was getting worried. She was supposed to distribute red envelopes to the staff with Su Cheng for the New Year, but she simply asked Su Cheng to do it alone.

She returned to her office, bolted the door, and pulled out her phone to call He Xing.

The call connected quickly, and He Xing’s voice came through, sounding flustered and guilty, "Xiaohan, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you, I have something urgent today and can’t bring you breakfast. Have you eaten yet? Should I order you some takeout?"

Before Fu Han could respond, Xia Ning’s voice could be heard from the phone, "He Xing brother, what are you doing? Who are you talking to? Don’t go, He Xing brother..."

What followed was crying and wailing—Xia Ning’s, as always, affected and melodramatic sobs.

Whether it was Xia Ning’s voice or her crying, Fu Han would never mistake them. Without exaggeration, even if Xia Ning turned to ash, Fu Han would never mistake her.

The two were natural enemies; from the time they met as children to now, not a day had passed without conflict. Whenever they met, it was an intense confrontation with no room for reconciliation.

Fu Han had been truly worried about He Xing, but to think he was with Xia Ning! Her anger erupted like a volcano.

She raised her voice and said into the phone, "He Xing, you said you were busy, is being with Xia Ning what you called busy?"

He Xing hurriedly explained, "Xiaohan, listen to me, it’s not what you think. Xia Ning got hurt last night, so I came to check on her..."
