Chapter 159 Can You Give Me a Chance?
Shin So-yeon's legs were numb and she seemed to have lost all feeling;
I don't know how to get back to the apartment.
Amnesia.
Fu Yinuo was waiting for her in the room.
"Yan Yan, where have you been? I called you, but your phone was turned off."
"Yinuo, I feel so bad. I want to die."
"Don't be afraid, I'm back and everything is over. I'm by your side." Huo Rongtin was called back to the Huo residence by his father.
"Rong Tian, you are becoming more and more unreasonable. You didn't attend such an important meeting this afternoon. What were you doing there?"
"I'm sorry, Father."
"I think so highly of you that I plan to hand over all the domestic and overseas group businesses to you, and this is how you manage the company?"
Huo Rongtin lowered his head and tried to remain silent.
"Your Uncle Zhou will be back next week to discuss your engagement party."
"Dad, I want to cancel the engagement party."
"No. You have no right to ask me to cancel."
"Dad, I don't want to trade marriage for benefits."
"This is not something you can decide. Your Uncle Zhou is going to hand over the management of Meigao Investment to you. Isn't this your dream? Are you going to give up now?"
"It's despicable of me to sacrifice a woman's happiness to achieve my own interests."
Huo Rongtin only did it for Xin Suyan.
"Don't think that I don't know you're doing this for that woman. Huo Rongtian, you have all kinds of women in your current position and status. There's no need to sacrifice your family, the group, and your own interests for a woman. What's more, I know you've been hiding her before. Since I've turned a blind eye, you should be sensible and understand the big picture."
"Dad, she is not my lover. She is the woman I love most."
"Huo Rongtian, don't forget that you have the R organization behind you. If you pull one hair out, the whole body will be affected. Once you are at the table, you can't just give up. What's more, when that woman was working as a legal officer in Hengdong, she used her position to transfer benefits to Mingcheng. Do you think we should prosecute her for stealing business secrets or report her for economic crimes? Economic crimes should be punished by at least three years in prison, right?"
"Zhang Qianlin is so despicable as to tell you these little things?"
Huo Rongtin was furious.
"Rong Tian, I promise you that I can ensure that the woman will not be sent to prison by others; but I cannot guarantee that I will send her to prison. Don't force me to do it myself."
"Are you threatening me?"
"The business world is like a battlefield. Think about your bargaining chips first, then negotiate with me. Dad doesn't ask for much, I just want Hengdong to transform as soon as possible. What's more, Hengdong's last injection of capital will be in place soon. I don't care who is the president between you and Huo Rongxin. In short, whoever delays Meigao's investment will pay the price."
"I have already invested in Mingcheng. If you really mess with her, Hengdong will not be able to escape responsibility."
"Asshole, you did this for a woman. What would you think if it got out?"
"Father, Mingcheng is not completely worthless. Rather than quarreling with them and causing them to fall apart, it is better to cooperate with them."
"How to cooperate?"
Huo Zhendong is a profit-driven businessman, and he will do anything that is beneficial to Hengdong.
He will take the overall situation into consideration, regardless of the cost, even at any means necessary.
"Then can you promise me one thing?"
"You said."
"On the wedding day, I will announce that Xin Suyan is my sister. Before Xin Jingxi died, he gave me shares in Mingcheng. As long as Hengdong uses legal means to inject capital, it can expand the market value. On the one hand, it will help us dismantle the old real estate business; on the other hand, it can keep the original partners. It can transfer intangible assets and increase market value. It kills two birds with one stone. No one will suffer. Isn't it a win-win cooperation?"
"Sure. As long as you can protect Hengdong, you can give those women any status."
Huo Rongtin lowered his head, hiding the sadness that was about to collapse.
"The wedding dress I ordered for Zhixi will arrive tomorrow. You can go with her to pick it up."
"Then I'll go back to my room first."
He walked back to the room with heavy steps.
Huo Rongxin overheard their conversation and clenched his fists in hatred.
The next day, Huo Rongtin showed up at the top bridal shop in Upper Town with dark circles under his eyes and smelling of cigarettes.
"Rongtian, what happened to your beautiful eyes? They're red, swollen, and black. Did you not sleep all night?"
Zhou Zhixi touched his eye sockets with heartache.
"I'm fine. Please try it quickly. After you finish the test, I have to go to the company to handle some business."
"Yeah, okay. Wait for me."
After saying that, Zhou Zhixi turned and went into the fitting room.
The phone vibrates. It's Shin So-yeon.
"Huo Rongtian, didn't you agree to come today to sign the equity transfer agreement? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
Xin Suyan was still angry and yelled into the phone.
"I'm trying on wedding dresses with my fiancée. I'll be back to the company this afternoon."
Tearing pain.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a few seconds: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come over this afternoon."
Zhou Zhixi came out excitedly holding her wedding dress.
With a long train, she is as beautiful as a queen.
The man had a sullen look on his face, and was in absolutely no mood to appreciate Solo's beauty.
"Do you want me to explain to Suyan that our marriage is just a sham?"
"No need. She doesn't believe anything I say, let alone what you say."
"What should I do? I don't want to marry someone who is so unhappy. How about I talk to my dad?"
"No need. Your father and my father have already reached an agreement. Now my father has the evidence of Xin Suyan's economic crimes in his hands, and he can create an accident at any time to get rid of her."
"I see. No wonder you're so worried. So Zhang Qianlin was willing to sacrifice Xin Suyan to stop you from getting married."
"Luckily she didn't do anything to you."
"If she bullies me, will you protect me like you protected Shin So-yeon?"
Huo Rongtin hesitated.
"Don't worry, I don't need your protection. I can protect myself."
"Ah."
The man forced a smile.
"Rong Tian, if possible, can you give me a chance? Try to love me?"
Zhou Zhixi was full of anticipation, with sparkles in her eyes.
"Zhixi, if you have such an idea, I will stop this transaction at all costs."
Huo Rongtin's expression suddenly became serious.
"I'm kidding. I just want to be by your side and be your best partner. Don't you know me yet?"
Zhou Zhixi pretended to be relaxed, took his arm and leaned against him;
Hide your embarrassment and humble love.
The body sneaks closer.
Huo Rongtin fell into deep thought.
"I just want to know if I have a chance to be another choice for you?"
"You are not a commodity. You have thoughts and personality. Even if you are valuable, you should not be the one chosen. I think we should end this marriage."
Huo Rongtin gentlemanly pulled away his arm that was stuck to her.
"For Xin Suyan, you won't end it. Besides, you are getting engaged to me this time to repay a favor. Are you not going to repay this favor? And I have signed a prenuptial agreement with you, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Zhou Zhixi moved forward and stood in front of him, with her chest pressed against him.
"Are you afraid that I will seduce you? I heard that men can't resist temptation."
Zhou Zhixi held her head high and looked at him with high morale.
"Take your thought away. At worst, I'll go to jail with her."
After saying this, Huo Rongtin let go of his confused emotions.
Leave without looking back.
Physically and mentally exhausted, eyes dull.
I no longer have the extra energy to think about my relationship with other women.
