When the marriage partner is my mortal enemy, I am scared

Chapter 199 I Hurt

"Forget it, I shouldn't argue with you."

Xiao Cheng thought this was a compromise with her.

But there are differences in the way men and women think.

In this situation, his words seemed more like saying that she was being unreasonable.

Like a drop of water splashing into a frying pan, it directly exploded Chu He's head.

She could no longer control her emotions and vented all the doubts, entanglements and dissatisfactions of the past few days.

"I know that the Chengnan project has always been in your hands. Our two families have never cooperated at all. Why did you hide it from me? And you obviously don't like me, so why do you want to get married? What is your purpose?"

She finished speaking in one breath, her voice choked a little.

Her series of questions caught Xiao Cheng off guard.

Chu He's last few words made his nerves even more tense.

Silence is more hurtful than quarrels.

"Say it?"

Faced with her questioning, Xiao Cheng was stunned, his eyes flickering.

I just felt my throat was dry and blocked.

"I'm asking you a question!"

Still silent, this made Chu He even more confused.

Xiao Cheng thought that if he said it, it would put their newly harmonious relationship in crisis, so he would rather not say a word.

At the beginning, the marriage between the two families was also to ease the long-term competitive relationship between the Xiao and Chu families.

If the two families reach a cooperation, the Xiao family will inevitably integrate the resources and connections of the Chu family. In terms of pros and cons, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

But if this is the case, the Chu family will also be controlled by the Xiao family. Once the two families have interests involved, Xiao Cheng and Chu He will be together, and there will be no shortage of troubles in the future.

So Xiao Cheng took the Chengnan project into his own hands, so that he and Chu He would at least not have too many emotional interests involved and would have fewer concerns.

Xiao Cheng stood in front of Chu He, his whole body still cold.

His expression was serious as he spoke calmly, "The project in the south of the city requires a huge investment, and it involves the government, even the upper echelons. If it were really handed over to the Xiao and Chu families, there would be financial risks on the one hand. If there were any mishaps, the higher-ups would investigate and their situation in Wancheng would be very difficult. Business itself depends on policy, and it would be easy for the government to bring you down."

His voice was calm, but it was covered with heavy breathing.

This sounded reasonable, but she was still confused.

"You already said this project is risky, so why are you doing it?"

"My company is not in Wancheng. For me, this risk is just a loss of money. I didn't mean to hide the project from you, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you here."

Xiao Cheng took a step forward and wanted to grab his hand, but she shook it off.

"It was indeed you who brought me here today. But when you got the project, you tricked me and used it to threaten me, leaving me with no choice."

He couldn't refute this.

Xiao Cheng looked at her expression and felt that she had something else to say.

Sure enough, Chu He raised her face, and her watery eyes seemed to be brighter.

She sniffed hard.

He added, "In that case, there's no need for a marriage. Why don't we reconsider our relationship?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng's expression changed obviously.

After a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "You said that in anger, I won't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he forcefully grabbed her wrist and walked towards the corridor.

Maybe he was not in a clear mind, he actually forgot that this woman would only respond to soft tactics and not harsh ones.

The woman behind him pulled hard to break free. He stopped and looked back at her with a warning look in his eyes.

"Just now, you did hurt me. I kicked the dog and you hit me, so we're even."
