"Ah? Oh oh!"
Miss Huang Mengyuan's rambling thoughts were interrupted. She stepped forward, glanced at Chu Xing, and said cautiously, "Dad, what were you doing just now? Did I disturb you? If so, I can leave now!"
"No, no! How could I be bothering you? Perhaps you've come at the perfect time. If you hadn't come, I might have missed out on so much," Chu Xing said, closing the distance between them as he spoke, looking every bit like a lecherous man trying to take advantage of the situation!
"Forehead..."
Huang Mengyuan's eyebrows furrowed, and displeasure rose in her heart. She began to wonder why her father would meet with this kind of person. This guy's actions made him seem like a petty thug from the streets! Wasn't her father disgusted by people like this?
Therefore, Huang Mengyuan cast a pleading look at her father, but unfortunately, her father was just a puppet, and Chu Xing's puppet at that. So... Puppet Number Two returned Huang Mengyuan's look with a "good luck" look!
"..."
This left Huang Mengyuan completely bewildered. Was this really the father who doted on her? How could he look like a gambling addict father who was selling his daughter? Well, to be honest, those somewhat lifeless eyes really did look a bit like a gambling addict!
Chu Xing chuckled and naturally took Huang Mengyuan's still disheveled hand in the wind, giving it a quick squeeze. He smiled and said, "Well, Mengyuan, I have a mountain stronghold here. We have everything except a wife. How about coming to work for me? The pay is piece-rate, calculated night by night. If you perform exceptionally well, you'll get a bonus!"
"I..." Faced with this blatant flirting, Huang Mengyuan felt an urge to curse!
"What are you going to do?" Chu Xing seemed oblivious to the strange atmosphere, still sporting his usual kind smile.
"Can you leave my family's company? I need to talk to my dad about something." Huang Mengyuan, with veins bulging on her forehead, abruptly pulled her hand back and said through gritted teeth.
She simply didn't know Chu Xing's identity. If she knew that Chu Xing was Huang Mengyuan, who could easily wipe out her family and had inherited her father's legacy, she would definitely make Chu Xing's family suffer a complete destruction!
"You want me to leave?"
Chu Xing's face showed a playful expression, and he said jokingly, "That's fine, but Miss Huang, you have to understand that if I leave, your father's company will go bankrupt. At that time, your happy life every day may be over, and you will have to live in the deep water of paying off debts every day!"
"what!"
Huang Mengyuan was shocked and turned to look at her father, Chen Yonghui, who nodded to her indifferently, as if he were making some kind of judgment on her!
Chu Xing laughed even harder, taking Huang Mengyuan's small hand in his palm again, and said, "Hehe, your dad probably hasn't told you yet, but your family is now being targeted by the Bai family. You know the Bai family in the capital, right? Even if your family is doing well in South China, it won't take the Bai family more than a month to bring you down. However, there's always a way out. If you can make me happy, it's not impossible for Bai Yurou from the Bai family to step in and mediate this matter, turning a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing!"
"dad..."
Huang Mengyuan's face turned pale. This time she did not struggle, but looked at Chen Yonghui pleadingly again, wanting this father who was all-powerful in her heart to tell her that it was all a lie and that their Chen family would never fall!
Unfortunately, that's impossible. Facts are facts, and they can't be changed in the blink of an eye!
Chen Yonghui also looked pained, but still looked at Huang Mengyuan with loving eyes and said kindly, "Mengyuan, Dad has always helped you before, but this time it may be your turn to help Dad. Dad doesn't want this either, but one wrong step leads to another. Now, if I listen to Young Master Chu, all my hard work over the years may really be in vain! Daughter... are you willing to help Dad this time?"
Although Dad knows that I did many things that wronged you and your mother in the early days of starting my business, I have been trying to make up for it all these years. I even gave you your mother's surname, and I have never asked you for anything. But today, there's really no other way!
"... "
Huang Mengyuan's lips trembled uncontrollably. To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen her father so dejected! The invincible, upright father she used to be was nowhere to be found in Chen Yonghui now; all that remained was negative energy of despair and regret!
"So, young lady, do you understand now?"
Chu Xing smiled, looking just like a villain, and his hands restlessly hooked around Huang Mengyuan's shoulders, causing the innocent girl to tremble slightly with fear.
"I, I!" Huang Mengyuan was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to say!
The first reaction is definitely to refuse, but what are the consequences of refusing?
Huang Mengyuan said she didn't know, but looking at her father's almost pleading eyes, she knew that her current life was about to end, and she might even have to live a precarious existence, sometimes going hungry and sometimes full. Huang Mengyuan used to think that she could handle these things, but when she was really given the choice, she realized how much she was addicted to wealth and luxury!
At that moment, Huang Mengyuan suddenly understood what it meant to prefer crying in a BMW to laughing on a bicycle!
She bit her thin lips, which were covered in lipstick, looking conflicted, but she had already made up her mind. She slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Xing, a hint of sadness flashing across her pure and lovely face. She said, "I understand, Young Master Chu. Please guide me in the future. If I do anything wrong, please tell me, and I can correct it!"
"Hahaha!"
Chu Xing burst into laughter, finding the girl's appearance extremely amusing!
Huang Mengyuan was a little confused by the laughter and couldn't help but take a half step back, afraid that Chu Xing in front of her was a strange person who might suddenly beat her up or something.
As they were laughing, Chu Xing suddenly gave Puppet Number Two a look, and then the two of them laughed together!
This left Huang Mengyuan even more bewildered, increasingly confused about the situation! The only thing she was certain of was that she was the only sane person present…
Good heavens! These people are so abnormal, so scary! Help!
###126. Hmm, let's chat.###
About half a minute later, Chu Xing and Chen Yong exchanged a glance and said with amusement, "How could you actually believe that? My dear fiancée, how could you possibly think that the mighty Bai family would have nothing better to do than mess with you? Such a high and mighty family would never stoop to come and play with you!"
Chen Yonghui nodded with a stiff smile, inwardly cursing Chu Xing's wicked sense of humor, and then said, "Yes, Mengyuan, you really are a filial son. I knew I wasn't wrong about my precious daughter! Xiaoxing and I were just putting on an act. You didn't actually believe it, did you? Hahaha!"
"... "
Huang Mengyuan was stunned. She felt like she had many friends, and her mind was full of questions!
Is she abnormal, or is the world abnormal?
"Wait! How come I suddenly have a fiancé? And why are you kneeling before Dad?" Huang Mengyuan asked, having discovered the crux of the matter!
Chen Yonghui said without changing his expression, "That's because we're thanking Xiaoxing. Our company was indeed in a crisis recently. If we weren't careful, we might have really gone bankrupt, but Xiaoxing stepped in to help and resolved the crisis!"
"So, does that mean he's actually a benefactor?"
"Yes, it's still your fiancé!"
"... "
Huang Mengyuan still couldn't understand it. After all, Chu Xing had left a really bad impression on her, and she couldn't quite accept the sudden turn of the guardrail. Her head was still buzzing!
"Alright, I'll take Mengyuan out for a walk! Uncle Chen, you probably still have things to finish, right? We won't bother you any longer!"
In this quiet moment, Chu Xing chuckled softly and said, then, under Chen Yonghui's encouraging gaze, he led Huang Mengyuan out of the room! They went to the next room... which was a conference room with excellent soundproofing, the kind where even if you argued, smashed things, or screamed inside, no one outside could hear you!
...
Chu Xing, who had easily led the girl to the next meeting room, sat down in a chair just as naturally, smiling as he looked at Huang Mengyuan, whose head was still dazed!
"neat…"
Feeling a little shy under that gaze, Huang Mengyuan was embarrassed. The person in front of her was her fiancé! His earlier expression had already made her feel awkward!
You don't know my name yet, do you?
Seeing that Huang Mengyuan had called his name twice but still couldn't remember it, Chu Xing smiled and said, "Chu Xing, Chu as in the State of Chu, and Xing as in the stars!"
"Huang Mengyuan, Huang as in color, Meng as in dream, and Yuan as in circle!"
Huang Mengyuan began to introduce herself, but what followed? Frightened and embarrassed, she quickly found a topic to discuss: "Um, what is this crisis my dad was talking about? He didn't tell me anything. He really doesn't care about his daughter at all!"
"Haha, I definitely won't tell you. Telling you would just put pressure on you!"
Chu Xing laughed again and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious, just some minor business issues. It's not as dramatic as bankruptcy. Your father is exaggerating."
"Oh, is that so..."
Huang Mengyuan nodded, accepting the reason.
After solving one problem, the girl wanted to ask the second one, which was also the question she was most concerned about right now!
Huang Mengyuan bit her lip and said somewhat shyly, "Um, why did you become my fiancé? Does our family have a tradition of betrothal from childhood?"
Chu Xing's pupils floated upwards, as if he were truly pondering this matter, before he said, "I don't know about that, but Uncle Chen specifically came to me to tell me that there is a marriage contract between you and me, which shows that this marriage contract, which doesn't even have a piece of paper, is still quite important to her!"
"That's true..."
Huang Mengyuan held her chin, seemingly agreeing with Chu Xing's idea. But then she thought, wouldn't that mean the marriage was really being manipulated by her father?
That won't do!
Huang Mengyuan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; this day had really killed her brain cells!
"Is that so?"
Chu Xing noticed the girl's troubled expression, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Could it be that you are already pregnant?"
###127. Gradually transitioning...###
"Uh…"
Chu Xing didn't feel shy at all, but he felt that the story was too bland. He had originally thought that it would be full of bloodshed and sword fights, but it turned out to be just like this.
That's it?
Chu Xing really wanted to say those two words to this lovestruck young woman, but at the same time he sighed that these pampered young ladies were so easily fooled by poor boys!
However, Chu Xing wouldn't be so idle as to counsel a wayward girl. All he could think about now was how to kill that guy he'd never met and make Huang Mengyuan his own!
Well, although this is very villainous, Chu Xing felt that he was very kind. Originally, Huang Mengyuan was not supposed to have survived to this point, but he, who was as kind as an angel, was willing to give her a chance to live!
Although this opportunity largely stems from the ideas of a pervert... indeed, perverts can save the world and save girls who want to die! Long live perverts! They will eventually rise again!
Chu Xing nodded with a smile and said, "I see! It is indeed a bit like a fairy tale, but that's how love exists in the world, isn't it? That's great. Are you aiming for marriage?"
"Ok!"
Huang Mengyuan bowed her head, immersed in sweetness, and said, "He and I have already agreed that when we reach the age for marriage, we will officially be together, and we will also make it clear to Dad then!"
Ah this!
Chu Xing grinned, offering no comment, but inwardly he was bursting with laughter. This 16-year-old girl was already thinking about marriage—how precocious was she? How much did she think about the future?
Chu Xing looked Huang Mengyuan up and down, but he didn't find the girl to be very mature. So, judging from the situation, they would probably break up in a year or two at most. By then, her delicate body might not be pure anymore.
Tsk tsk, the world is indeed terrifying, and feelings are definitely the most unstable thing!
Chu Xing felt it was necessary to help the girl, and said jokingly, "That's a pretty good idea, but have you investigated her family background? Maybe she's from a powerful family? She might just be down on her luck now, but her family's history is definitely worthy of you! You know, there are many great families from the last century in X City! They may not be as powerful now, but they used to be incredibly influential families, the kind that shaped the national trends!"
"I haven't checked that. After all, I trust him quite a bit. Is it really necessary to check?"
Huang Mengyuan blinked. Although she asked the question, she already had the answer in her heart. After all, young girls are always quite curious, especially young girls who are in the throes of first love.
Chu Xing was very happy about this. It felt really good to ruin someone else's good thing! It was even better than tearing down ten temples in a row!
At this point, Chu Xing should leave. He wasn't really free to stay with this gullible girl forever. After exchanging WeChat contacts, everyone went about their own business.
Back home, thanks to the large compensation and the month-long vacation promised by the company, the parents decided to stay home and spend time with Chu Xing and Chu Xi'er instead of wandering around. The main reason for this was Chu Xing's adorable little sister; if she acted cute, almost no one could refuse her requests!
Normally, there's no way around it because of work requirements, but now that they can spend time with their children, they naturally try their best to do so. This also reflects their feelings of guilt, since they haven't spent enough time with their children over the years, which is indeed a dereliction of duty as parents!
That won't do!
Chu Xing really wanted to say to his parents: "I won't go to work anymore, let him support this whole family!"
But reason told him he couldn't do that. If he really said it, many things would change and never come back.
