The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 155 Under Control
Seeing Lu Siqi's face, which showed no change in expression, Lin Chen was both angry and annoyed. "I know you won't forgive me, and I don't expect you to forgive me. I just hope that you won't degenerate into quickly choosing a man to marry just because you hate me."

"Do you know that marriage is a woman's second life?"

"You don't even know anything about the Sheng family, and you've only met Sheng Huai'an a few times. How can you be so sure that he can bring you happiness?"

Realizing he was losing control of his emotions, Lin Chen took a deep breath, bent down to cup her face, removed his glasses from her nose, and breathed into hers as he said softly, "Wait a little longer. Let's at least get to know the Sheng family before deciding whether to marry him or not, okay?"

He had already said all that, which was the biggest concession he could make.

Otherwise, given his usual style of doing things, he would definitely have put pressure on the Sheng family directly, forcing Sheng Huai'an to give up the marriage.

But if I did that, wouldn't this woman despise me?

Lin Chen knew that his relationship with Lu Siqi had actually ended the moment Xiao Mopo decided to send her back to Beicheng.

If Lin Chen hadn't learned that she was going to marry Sheng Huai'an, he wouldn't have rushed straight to Beicheng without even returning to Hong Kong.

"You don't have to choose me, but please don't treat your marriage like a game! Don't gamble with your future!" Lifting Lu Siqi's face, Lin Chen gazed at her affectionately: "I don't want to pester you either, I just don't want you to make the wrong choice because you hate me."

"I have never hated you." After listening to him say so much, Lu Siqi finally understood what he meant. "Whether you believe it or not, I have never hated you."

She looked calmly at Lin Chen, who was standing close to her. "Marrying Sheng Huai'an is not an impulsive decision. I really feel that he is very suitable for me. Suitability is more important than love, because love is too short-lived. Only suitability can make the relationship between husband and wife last longer."

"I admit that I liked you in the past because of your wildness and the novelty you brought me, which I had never experienced before in my life."

"But once the novelty wore off, I realized that I was still better suited to the peaceful life I used to live."

Raising her hand to stroke his handsome features, Lu Siqi smiled slightly at him: "We are not the same kind of people. Even if you didn't deceive me in Bangnan, our relationship wouldn't last long because we are simply not suitable for each other."

After saying these words, Lu Siqi gently pushed him away, sat up, and saw him sit back on the sofa with a gloomy look in his eyes. She then picked up a lighter, lit a cigarette, and sat down to hug him from behind. "Lin Chen, forget me. Don't feel guilty towards me anymore, and don't humble yourself to try to win me back. From now on, let's both try to live our own lives well. After all, some things are in the past."

At this moment, Lin Chen turned his head to look at her and saw that her face was full of smiles.

"Haven't you heard the saying?" Lu Siqi smiled as she met his gaze, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Once dead, they are dead and can never come back to life. Have you ever seen a dead person come back to life?"

She got off the sofa, picked up her coat and bag from the clothes rack, but didn't take the 200 million dollar check.

Lin Chen stared at her thin back, feeling that he couldn't quite understand her, and even the things she had just said seemed to have some hidden meaning.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what the woman was implying.

……

After Lu Siqi left, Lin Chen got completely drunk.

When drunk, Lin Chen never acts out; he simply sleeps quietly or sits quietly in one place.

Around 3 a.m., Lin Chen received a call from Gu Shi and heard that it had been confirmed that Shen Cheng's plane had crashed on the border of Jianghong. Lin Chen frowned with heartache and asked, "What about Brother Shen?"

Gu Shi was at the computer checking the report sent by Jiang Hong: "The search is still ongoing, and no human tissue has been found yet."

"..." That's good. Lin Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. "How's the situation with Hua Xu?"

"He has regained consciousness, but the doctor said he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days."

"I can rest assured that."

Hearing this, Gu Shi realized that he seemed to be saying goodbye. "Going back to Hong Kong?"

“My grandfather has been in the ICU for several days. If I don’t go back soon, I’ll truly become an unfilial descendant.” After saying this, Lin Chen didn’t forget to make his request to Gu Shi. “Considering how much I’ve risked my life for you in the past, do me a favor.” “Go ahead.”

"Help me stop Lu Mingyuan's case."

Gu Shi was a little confused. "Didn't you not want Lu Siqi to marry Sheng Huai'an? Once Uncle Lu's case is reported, Hong Kong will definitely know immediately, and the Sheng family will definitely put pressure on Sheng Huai'an. But you're asking me to help you suppress this case. Aren't you just handing it over to them?"

"Take it as a test."

"Who are we testing?"

Lin Chen stood up and looked at the bustling night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window: "It's a test for me, and also a test for Sheng Huai'an. After all, I also want to know if I really can't live without Lu Siqi."

Gu Shi warned him, "You're playing with fire."

"You've known me for a while now," Lin Chen said sarcastically. "Anyway, I'll be the one who gets burned when I play with fire, not you."

"Just don't regret it later."

"It's no use regretting it now. Don't you know Lu Siqi's personality? Once she's made up her mind, who can stop her?"

Therefore, rather than preventing her from marrying Sheng Huai'an, it's better to grant her wish first.

Because Lin Chen firmly believed in one thing: Lu Siqi's decision to marry Sheng Huai'an was not simply a matter of emotion; she was definitely playing a long game.

As for who she is playing against, we'll only find out once she arrives in Hong Kong and gradually reveals some clues.

Lu Siqi is too guarded now, and it's impossible to find out anything about her.

In that case, let's do as she wishes.

……

The next day.

Lin Chen took the earliest flight back to the port city.

Upon learning that he had left so gracefully, Shang Junyan truly admired his planning and courage; back then, as the district head of the special zone, he had suffered quite a bit in order to win back his ex-wife Su Qing in Hong Kong.

Lin Chen, on the contrary, actually handed Lu Siqi over to Sheng Huai'an in this way of making things happen.

Once Lu Siqi really marries Sheng Huai'an and goes to Hong Kong, it will be like a bird flying into a cage, completely under Lin Chen's control.

After all, Hong Kong is Lin family territory, and he has clearly prepared a cage for Lu Siqi to fly into.

That's a brilliant move!

Gu Shi was also extremely impressed with Lin Chen's move, because if it were him, he would never have been able to stand by and watch Song Nuan marry another man.

"Before Lin Chen left, he specifically instructed us not to make public what Uncle Lu had done before. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to see if the Sheng family had any ulterior motives. After all, the marriage between the Lu family of Beicheng and the Sheng family of Gangcheng would only benefit you as the district chief."

Shang Junyan naturally understood the reasoning behind Gu Shi's words. After the Lu family and the Sheng family formed a marriage alliance, they would have a legitimate reason to transfer Lu Siqi to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Lu Siqi was transferred to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, where her husband, Sheng Huai'an, came from a prominent family, and her father-in-law, Sheng Feng, held an important position.

With this connection, Hong Kong will only grow closer to North City.

This is why Shang Junyan didn't want to stop Lu Siqi from marrying Sheng Huai'an.
