CHAPTER 108 - ACCEPTING TO HER
"Isn’t this Second Young Master? "Long time no see." Someone brought a cup of wine over. It was the general manager of the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude, Huo Wenying, who was also Huo Xi Wen’s uncle.
Seeing the other party, Su Qi Ze immediately revealed a polite smile, "Hutong, long time no see."
Huo Wenying knocked the cup against his own and then looked at Luo Qing Yun, "This beauty looks unfamiliar, I’ve never seen her before. Where did Second Young Master dig out such a treasure, and why didn’t you introduce it?"
Tonight, Luo Qing Yun was really too dazzling. From the moment she appeared to now, countless men’s eyes were on her.
Now that Huo Wenying had made her inquiries, Su Qi Ze smiled as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. He introduced her, "Mr. Howe, this is my wife, Luo Qing Yun. Qingyun, this is the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude’s Mr. Huo Wenying. "
"Hello, Mr. Howe." Luo Qing Yun politely extended her hand out towards the other party.
After Huo Wenying found out who she was, his expression immediately became much more reserved. He shook hands with her and said, "When did Second Young Master get married? I didn’t even hear a word about it."
"My wife liked the peace and quiet, so there was no wedding. It is not strange for Hutong to not know about it." As Su Qi Ze said this, he whispered into Luo Qing Yun’s ear, "Your high heels have tired you of wearing, so you should go sit on the sofa in the resting area to the side. I came here to look for you after greeting you."
"Yes." Luo Qing Yun nodded her head, the high heels on her feet were new, and after standing for a long time, she found it hard to endure. She raised her head, looked at Huo Wenying and said her goodbyes, "My apologies, Mr. Howe, I will be leaving first."
"Please do, Mrs. Su." Huo Wenying made a "please" gesture and followed her to the rest area.
After she left, Huo Wenying’s attention returned to Su Qi Ze, and he said. "Second Young Master wanted some good luck with women, to actually have married such a beautiful wife."
"Hutong is too kind, if my wife heard your words, she would definitely be very happy." Su Qi Ze said politely.
"It’s not an exaggeration. I think so from the bottom of my heart. It’s no wonder that the Second Young Master was willing to give up his position in the Royal Group and go out to establish his own clan. He wanted to be a boss, enjoy life, and watch over such a beautiful woman.
When it comes to taking care of leisure, who can compare to you, Hutong. As far as I know, my sister-in-law is learning to take care of the affairs of Hauptverwaltungsgebaude, and I’m afraid before long, she will take over Mr. Huo’s position, and become the chairman and CEO’s chairman. At that time, I’m afraid you will be able to retire.
Su Qi Ze had a smile on his face, his voice was warm like jade, but the meaning behind his words was clear, it was implying that he was about to be kicked out of Hauptverwaltungsgebaude.
Of the two of them, one had left the Imperial Court voluntarily while the other had been forced to leave.
Hearing Su Qi Ze’s words, Huo Wenying’s face froze. Her smile instantly froze, and what replaced it was a gloomy and angry look.
He had always dreaded his young and capable niece. All these years, his younger brother Huo Wenbin was in poor health, so he was waiting for his health to fail and take over instead.
However, he never expected that just as he was about to achieve his goal, Huo Wenbin would actually marry his daughter to Su Chen Hao and secretly make a will. After he passed away, all of his properties as well as all of his shares in the company would be inherited by Huo Xi Wen.
This also meant that, as long as Huo Wenbin died, Huo Xi Wen would replace him and become the biggest shareholder. He would have absolute authority.
"I am old, and when I retire, I do not have any regrets. I am not like Second Young Master, who is willing to hand over the good fortune left behind by his ancestors at such a young age? I’m afraid even if Second Young Master Su is willing, Second Master Su will not be willing. " Huo Wenying repressed the anger in his heart, and provoked Su Qi Ze.
Hearing that, Su Qi Ze laughed faintly, "Didn’t Hutong praise his beauty like a flower before? I am content to have such beautiful company. As for my father, he has been taking up his casual jobs in the company all these years, so he is quite at ease and is doing quite well. "
"It’s a pity. I originally thought that the second young master was someone who had ambitions and ideas, and wanted to work with you. I guess I misjudged you." Huo Wenying shook his head and left with a regretful look on his face.
Su Qi Ze watched him leave, the smile on his face gradually became cold.
"I never thought that there would be such a man that doesn’t love women like Second Young Master in this world. I really admire him." An unfamiliar male voice came from behind him.
Su Qi Ze turned around and saw a man who was around thirty years of age looking at him, standing right behind him.
Su Qi Ze was sure that he had never seen this person before, and looked at him suspiciously.
At this time, the other party politely nodded to him, and said, "Mr. Su, hello, my boss has something that he wants to discuss with you in private. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to move around?"
"Your boss?" Su Qi Ze looked at him, as if confirming the other party’s identity.
"Yes, my boss said he knows something about your wife’s private affairs and I’m sure you’ll be interested." When the man said this, he intentionally looked in the direction of the lounge.
Su Qi Ze could not guess anything from his expression, but he was certain that the other party was not trying to trick him, so he asked, "Who is your boss?"
"Mr. Su, why don’t you come with me?" As the man spoke, he turned around and walked out of the banquet hall.
Seeing that, Su Qi Ze hesitated, but still followed.
In the lounge, Luo Qing Yun sat on the sofa for less than five minutes. There were already no less than ten people who came over to greet him.
She was just thinking about whether or not she should go find Su Qi Ze, at least with him by her side as a door god, and no one dared to approach her.
But just as he stood up, another man walked over with a cup of wine.
"Hello, Miss."
Luo Qing Yun looked at him, but did not say a word, and only symbolically nodded his head, as a form of greeting.
"Alone? Here’s my card, I’m... "
Just as the other party was about to introduce himself, a hand suddenly extended out from behind Luo Qing Yun, and while she was in a daze, the name card had already been received by that hand.
Luo Qing Yun turned around and saw that Zhou Yi had appeared behind him at some point in time. He was holding onto his name card and reading out loud, "Hua Hai Meridian Company’s Chairman... Assistant? "
When he said the last two words, the other party’s face reddened slightly.
The people who came here were all either rich or powerful, so an assistant like him, who had followed his boss, really couldn’t be considered a big deal here.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Luo Qing Yun was so dazzling that people couldn’t move their eyes away from him tonight, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to rashly go forward and strike up a conversation.
However, at this moment, he understood why a beauty like her would be participating in a banquet like this. How could she possibly have come alone?
"Sorry for disturbing you." Taking back his name card from Zhou Yi’s hands, he bowed towards Luo Qing Yun as an apology, then turned and left.
Seeing that man flee in a sorry state, Luo Qing Yun slowly turned his gaze back to Zhou Yi’s body. He coincidentally discovered that the man was looking at him, and his eyes flashed with a trace of stunning light.
"Thank you." Retracting her gaze, her gaze landed squarely on the floor in front of her. After she said that softly, she lifted up the hem of her skirt, and prepared to look for Su Qi Ze.
"Qingyun." Suddenly, Zhou Yi’s hand grabbed her arm, and called her name.
Luo Qing Yun frowned slightly as she turned around. Her gaze fell on the big hand that was holding onto her arm.
Zhou Yi felt that his actions were a bit overbearing, so he immediately let go, and looked at her with flickering eyes: "Can I talk to you about it?"
"About what?" She didn’t think there was anything else they needed to talk about.
"I was wrong about what happened last time. I shouldn’t have attacked you. "After I went back, I reflected for a long time." Zhou Yi’s voice was low, and the thin sounds of conversation from the crowd could be heard, reaching her ears.
He actually apologized for that?
Luo Qing Yun never thought that he would actually realize her own mistake.
However, that didn’t mean that she needed to listen to him talk about a bunch of useless things.
"No need to apologize, didn’t I return the slap you gave me previously?" We don’t owe each other anything. "
"No ..." Not... "I really know I was wrong, I misunderstood you, I ..." Zhou Yi wanted to say something to her urgently, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was getting louder, causing everyone around him to look over, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Luo Qing Yun knew that if she did not hear him finish, she would probably cause another commotion in the crowd.
She didn’t want to be the center of attention, so she looked in front of her and said, "Let’s go to the corridor up ahead. There aren’t many people there."
Seeing that she was finally willing to speak with him alone, a look of happiness flashed past Zhou Yi’s eyes. He considerately pulled up the hem of her skirt and walked towards the hallway.
Arriving at the corridor, he took a few steps forward before Luo Qing Yun stabilized herself by the window. Raising his eyes, he looked at him, "If there’s anything you want to say, just say it."
"Qingyun, tonight ..." "So beautiful ..." Zhou Yi raised his head, his eyes looking at the girl in front of him in a daze.
Under the warm light, her bright eyes shone like diamonds.
Under the illumination of the lamplight, her skin appeared even more exquisite like jade, so fine that it could be broken with the blowing of the wind.
In the past, she would have blushed at his praise, then buried her head in his arms.
But at this moment, when she heard him praise her like this, not a single ripple appeared in her heart.
"Is that what you want to tell me?" Luo Qing Yun frowned, her tone obviously sounded a little impatient.
"No ..." Of course not. Qingyun, what I want to tell you is that I was wrong. I misunderstood you. I should have known that you weren’t that kind of person. How could you give up our relationship for the sake of that little bit of money ...? "It’s just that I didn’t know what happened at that time. The moment I heard my mother say that you took the money from her, I lost my mind and went completely crazy ..." Zhou Yi recalled the scene when he heard his mother say that Luo Qing Yun had taken the breakup fee. His expression was filled with pain, as well as deep self-blame.
