Chapter 144: Love Agreement
"Poof......" Hearing that He Zhanting was going to meet him, Chiba couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, "See me!" Why do you want to see me? Are you kidding! Did you hear it wrong? Why are you looking at me? β
"Why did you react so much, he probably just invited you to a meal, nothing else. How about it, enjoy the face. β
"No, no, I'm afraid." She shook her head like a rattle.
Resistance is understandable. She couldn't figure out what the old man He Zhanting thought of her. At the time of the kidnapping, it was he who wanted to thank him heavily, and he was the one who dismissed her from Ogu for no reason, and now he is the one who is being invited to the mansion as a guest. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd, looking at He Chong's embarrassed appearance, I probably don't know.
"Don't be afraid, with me, he won't eat you." He Chong softened his eyes to a pitiful state following Song Yingchen's example, thinking that this would make Chiba respond to his needs, but with little effect.
"It's good to eat me, I always know what he wants to do, what's the matter with inviting him to the house for no reason. Go ahead and push it, my legs are shaking. β
He Chong clenched his right hand into a fist and kept hitting the palm of his left hand, pacing anxiously back and forth. He was trying to make up some kind of excuse to dispel Chiba's concerns, but he couldn't tell her directly that her father wanted to meet his future daughter-in-law in advance.
"Could it be that he found out in conscience and wants to apologize in person for dismissing you?"
"Then I can't go, your dad didn't do anything wrong with that last time, if you really apologize to me, I can only drill into the cracks in the ground."
"Or maybe you think about you living with my neighbors now, and you help me clean my room from time to time, and I want to thank you."
"Isn't that the same thing, why did you move here...... How can I have the face to see him. β
Left is not right, He Chong is a little anxious.
"Ouch, I'm scared of myself, just like this, don't think about anything, just do me a favor, it's like having a table with someone you don't know in a restaurant, it's all right."
"I ......"
"Please." He Yan Ran knelt down on one knee and held her hand, as if proposing, "No matter what he says, just listen to it, just nod if you agree, smile if you don't agree, the meal will be eaten quickly, and I will send you back after eating." β
"Why are you getting up quickly, why are you still kneeling?"
"I haven't begged you, I begged once today, or I won't get up if I don't agree."
She wavered and had to shake. She has always felt ashamed of He Chong, and always wants to find an opportunity to repay her, but now he pleaded, and it was just a gesture, so it was really difficult to refuse.
"Okay then...... But I'm not very good at talking. β
Seeing her agree, He Chong jumped up excitedly.
"Don't worry, I'll just say that if you have a cold and your throat is uncomfortable, he won't catch you asking questions."
"Hmm......," she said, looking at the time, "let's go, say it's half past six, it's not good to be late." β
"You...... Don't change your clothes? β
She looked at herself, the khaki fleece jacket had no sense of fashion, a pair of ordinary black trousers, and a pair of neutral hiking boots on her feet, like an amateur model on a low-end supermarket leaflet.
"It's not like you haven't seen a few pieces in exchange."
"The one I gave you last time, I never saw you wear it, so let's put it on."
"Do you have to change?"
"Yes."
β¦β¦
Covering an area of 200 acres, this small forest is not a park, but He Zhanting's private garden.
After the car entered the gate, it went straight forward, and from the right turn at the end, it made several consecutive turns, and Chiba felt like he was lost. The nervousness was not enough to describe her mood at the moment, if she could open the car door and jump off now, she would definitely run away without looking back.
After parking the car, you need to walk up a section of the trail to reach the main villa, He Chong walked in front with her head held high, but she didn't listen to the call on her legs, and she struggled to walk.
"Hurry up." He Chong turned around and found her standing with her hands on her knees, as if she had just finished a kilometer run.
"I'd better not go, your house is such a large forest, I feel like a prey." She pleaded.
He rushed over and grabbed her arm.
"You're a hare at best, not enough for my dad to stuff his teeth, let's go."
When she reached the gate, she looked up, and the door was four meters high, and the tamped door panels and handles that exuded a precious metallic sheen gave the mansion an inviolable majesty like a palace.
Pushing the door straight into the huge entrance hallway, which is larger than the apartment she is renting now. From the dΓ©cor to the dΓ©cor, the area is a dazzling gold, not only a sign of luxury, but also a perfect interpretation of the supreme power of the family.
He Chong took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet, and she recognized the logo on them, which was an international first-line brand.
"The slippers are all custom-made, and the house must not be covered with gold?" She thought to herself.
"Let's go, go in and sit, relax." He Chong made a cheering gesture at her, and her legs became softer.
She finally understood why He Chong disliked the Sakura Apartment. Compared to here, the grandeur of the cherry blossom apartment is at most an imitation of the East. She couldn't find any right words to describe it, and being in it was like stepping back in time to a royal palace from the past. Even if there is an antique used for decoration on the shelf in the cabinet, it is enough to buy a set of 100-square-meter mansions, no wonder He Chong spent money without blinking his eyes.
In this kind of family background, money is already just a string of numbers, remembering that he has a lot of words on weekdays, He Chong spends money like dirt, and teaches him to be diligent and thrifty, which is purely eventful.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Qin, Mom Qiu...... What about people? β
He Chong called all over again, and there was an echo in the house, but no one responded.
He brought Chiba into the living room.
"Ahem......" Suddenly, He Zhanting's familiar voice came from the second floor, and when he looked up, he didn't see anyone.
"You wait." He Chong pressed her against the couch, turned and ran upstairs.
She sat there alone, completely unaware of what to do with her hands and feet, when she heard footsteps just as she was trying to adjust her breathing.
A drop of sweat spread across his forehead, falling down his cheek, and quickly wiped it away. Then, an old man's voice sounded from the side.
"Miss Yang is here."
She busily stood up, her hands bowed in front of her, ready to bow and greet her.
It's really better to hear than to see, the chairman of the legendary Aogu Group who dominates Lucheng is right in front of him, and his majestic and majestic temperament seems to be innate, which is awe-inspiring.
"Hello uncle." Her voice was as low as a mosquito, and her face was flushed into a watermelon, "I'm Yang Qianye." β
"Sit, you're welcome, I invited you to the house just to think that I don't have to be restrained." He Zhanting raised his hand and motioned, and she sat down again.
He Chong helped his father to sit down, ran to her side, and sat down at a distance from each other.
"Dad, what about Uncle Qin and Mother Qiu?"
"I let them take a half-day vacation, and there are too many people in the family, and Miss Yang will feel nervous."
She smiled knowingly: "I'm really nervous......" Then she looked at He Zhanting, and He Zhanting also looked at her.
"Miss Yang, I didn't hold a grudge against you when you left Aogu before, right?"
"Huh? Oh no, how could it be. She only felt that her tongue bed was dry and her throat was hot, "You are the chairman, there must be a reason for you to arrange that, I have no opinion." β
"Your resume and academic qualifications do not meet the standards of Augoo's employment, and others will criticize He Chong for abusing his power, I have to sacrifice your interests, please forgive me."
Although it was embarrassing to be outspoken, she felt that she felt useful in her unbiased and undisingenuous attitude.
"You're right, I'm really not qualified to stay in Ogu, and I'm honestly afraid to do things in it, and I'm afraid of making mistakes."
"Dad......" He Chong reminded, shaking his head at his father, "Chiba has a cold and his throat is uncomfortable, don't keep letting people talk." β
"It's okay, just listen to me." He Zhanting habitually supported the crutches with both hands, making his waist appear more straight, "Miss Yang can think like this, young people should be self-aware, and I often advise He Chong like this." He doesn't like to praise anyone, but he often tells me that you are smart and willing to learn, and if time goes by, I think you will definitely make great progress in your personal ability, and if you have the time to return to Ogu, I am very welcome. β
"Thanks, I'll try."
He Chong interjected again: "Dad, you called Mother Qiu and Uncle Qin away, what do you eat at night?" β
"I'll have the hotel's executive chef prepare a table for us later."
"Mom?"
He Zhanting was a little sluggish, and then replied: "It doesn't matter if she is there, it doesn't matter if she is there." You go and order a meal, and let them prepare a lobster, three cases of golden soup and rice, a morel mushroom fried foie gras, and a Buddha jumping over the wall, and the rest. The girl pays attention to beauty and orders a golden bird's nest for Miss Yang. β
He Chong agreed, looked at Chiba with some unease, and walked to make a phone call.
As soon as he left, He Zhanting said to Chiba: "Miss Yang, I have been in business for many years and have developed the habit of practical results, so I won't go around in circles with you, let's get straight to the point." β
Just chatted politely, and suddenly looked like a businessman, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What theme?"
He Zhanting reached out and took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the coffee table and pushed it in front of her, and the words "agreement" were written on the head of the paper.
"Miss Yang, please take a look."
She held it up and read it casually, "Agreement...... Party A promises to abide by the following regulations after marrying Party B......" I felt that something was wrong when I first read a sentence, and moved my eyes to the end, and found that "Party B" was written "He Chong", and Party A wrote her name.
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" She stood up in shock, "I don't understand why Party A and Party B are married." β
He Zhanting ordered softly: "Sit down, read it first, don't be nervous." β
She looked towards the foyer, and behind the crystal screen, He Chong was walking around on the phone. She wished he could come and help her, because she had already had a premonition.
"The reason why I dismissed all the servants in the family was that I wanted to negotiate and settle the matter with you alone, which is also my sincerity. This agreement does not mean to bind you, but a family like ours is not ordinary, and it is inevitable that disputes will be difficult to resolve in the future, and signing an agreement is beneficial to everyone. β
She waved her hand again and again, her face flushed with shame.
"Wait, when did I say I was going to marry He Chong?"
"It's not you who say it, it's not that he says it, it's me who says it. Since he likes you, I, the father, should fulfill him. Of course, frankly speaking, I didn't think you were suitable at first, but then I thought about it, if you want to find someone who is completely suitable for him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn Lucheng upside down. I didn't plan to be a feudal patriarch, and his own choice should be respected, so I changed my mind and stopped opposing it. However, marrying him is not simply a union between two people, but also involves integration and coexistence with our family. To tell you the truth, although there are not many members of my He family, the situation is a bit complicated, and I will tell you about it slowly when I have the opportunity. β
He Zhanting's words were like a bunch of alien words, and she sweated like rain when she heard it.
"You misunderstood, I'm ...... with He Chong"
He Zhanting raised his hand and said calmly: "As I said just now, I pay attention to practical results, so please don't go around in circles with me." β
"I didn't go around in circles, I really didn't have anything to do with him."
"But he likes you."
"But I ......" she wanted to say she didn't like it, but she saw He Chong on the other end hang up the phone and was about to come over.
He Zhanting put away his patient posture and asked with a slight complaint: "But what are you?" Don't you look down on our family Chong'er? β
As he spoke, He rushed back.
"What are you talking about?" Finding that her face was flushed, He Chong asked.
He Zhanting ignored him, but continued to say to her.
"I know you don't think you're worthy, but you don't need to feel inferior, the estimate of what you can be worthy of has not yet been born. A group of people with low self-esteem around me is nothing unusual, because the problem is not with you, but with me. So put away those meaningless emotions and accept the favor of fate, it is enough for He Chong to like you, you don't need to do anything. β
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense?" He Chong panicked for a moment and asked.
"Shut up, let me finish." He Zhanting slammed his crutches to the ground.
At this time, Chiba's whole body was frozen, and he couldn't even feel that he was still breathing.
"I don't care if you can be beautiful or not, and I don't care if you are greedy for vanity and clinging to the powerful. There are many clauses on the agreement, and I will only emphasize two points. First, you can not love him enough, but you can't betray him, and you can't cheat on him physically and mentally, otherwise you will be punished. Second, the He family had to give birth to two boys and then undergo sterilization. If these two points can be completed, the rest can be relaxed. As for what you can get, the agreement is also very clear, so I won't go into details. β
Faced with He Zhanting talking about his biological son's feelings and marriage like a business, Chiba suddenly stopped feeling anxious about his situation, but had great sympathy for He Chong. You are a wealthy young master, but He Chong lives in an environment bound by institutional power, and he can't be loyal to himself and can't manage the free and easy emotional life of ordinary people. His eating, drinking, Lazar, and marriage business are all managed by his parents like a management company, and there are no human rights at all.
He Chong was about to launch a counterattack against her father with her mantis arm blocking the car, but she was the first to react.
She found that her original inferiority complex seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and in such an extremely luxurious but extremely oppressive environment, she was proud of her high and free soul.
She didn't want to say something she didn't accept or didn't like in front of He Chong, that would embarrass him, and she felt that he was also innocent and worthy of sympathy.
"Can I take it back and take a good look at it?" She held up the protocol.
"Of course." He Zhanting nodded, as if a consensus had been reached on the most trivial terms in a deal.
