Huo Lingxiao let out a deep sigh, pulled her to the sofa and sat down, his face was solemn and difficult to distinguish: "The other party is indeed not to be underestimated, but the specific identity has not been clarified, I only know that it is a consortium from New York, starting with oil and manufacturing, and has also been involved in the field of high-tech and communications over the years, and its business is all over the world." ”

"New York?" Fang Ruoning instinctively whispered, and a sentence suddenly popped into his mind—"I won't believe your words anymore, unless you go back to New York with me immediately!" ”

She vaguely remembered that when she was in the lakeside villa, the blonde woman who broke in and yelled at Zhao Linlang - it was also New York.

Could it be so coincidental?

Seeing her demeanor, Huo Lingxiao subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with New York?" ”

"When I was with Zhao Linlang, his wife came and told him that he had to go back to New York immediately-" Fang Ruoning shuddered in his heart, his eyes widened, and his body turned to look at him, "You say...... Could the person who intends to buy Huo's be Zhao Linlang? I know that he has become very rich and powerful, and it obviously has something to do with that woman...... He said, that woman is a wealthy family, isn't this in line with the identity of the consortium? ”

The man's face was calm, and the two looked at each other, neither of them speaking for a moment, but they were obviously shocked in their hearts.

With his usual keen intuition, it was a possibility.

"Do you want to let the investigators start from Zhao Linlang's side? Since the person has been to the police station, he must know his identity, and follow his identity in reverse, if it is really him, then everything will come to light, if not, a suspicious object will be ruled out. Fang Ruoning stared at him tightly and hurriedly suggested.

Huo Lingxiao nodded, got up and immediately called.

On the sofa, Fang Ruoning sat in a daze, his mind was chaotic for a while, and he couldn't calm down.

For some reason, she also had an intuition in the dark, and that person must be Zhao Linlang.

He emphasized over and over again that he would definitely get her again, does the subtext mean that he is confident that he will get the Huo family, and he will "occupy" her together?

Thinking about it like this, Fang Ruoning felt more and more creepy.

Huo Lingxiao made a few phone calls, and after arranging some matters, he turned around and pulled her up, and gently touched her face to comfort: "Okay, I don't want to do this, you haven't eaten anything for a day, are you hungry?" Let's go eat first. ”

Looking at the man's handsome and deep face and calm and indifferent aura, the chaos in her mind finally calmed down a little, Sakura smiled at him slightly with her lips, and nodded, "Well, let's go to dinner." ”

In the restaurant, Huo Yunxuan knew that his mother was in danger today, and he became more and more sensible.

Seeing his father walking over with his mother, he also hurriedly stepped forward to support Fang Ruoning's other hand, his big black and white eyes flashed with immature but mature light, and said intimately: "Mom, you go slowly." ”

Fang Ruoning felt warm in his heart, looked at his son, and then looked at the tall and straight man beside him.

I didn't say anything on my lips, but there were a thousand words in my heart.

has a husband who loves her so much, and such a sensible and well-behaved son - no matter how much Zhao Linlang has paid to her, no matter how much they have loved her, it doesn't matter now - the most important person for her is the big and small next to her.

Don't talk about a Zhao Linlang, even if she exchanges the whole world, she is reluctant.

*

Maybach drove into a manor-style villa.

The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the car door, and the man in the suit and leather shoes got out of the car with an indifferent face, lifted the button of his shirt with one hand, and walked towards the main house.

When I entered the living room, I saw a woman sitting on the sofa at a glance, and the atmosphere of the whole space was dull.

The tall and stout Western man walked up to the woman's side and whispered in English, "Madam, Mr. is back." ”

Rachel put one hand on her forehead, and shook it lightly, motioning for him to go down first.

The man nodded, turned and walked outside, taking the other bodyguard standing at the door of the living room with him.

When passing by the man's side, Leo said in a formulaic tone: "Sir, Mrs. has a head injury, please take care of her, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the New York side to know." ”

Zhao Linlang's face was gloomy and depressed, and there was a sense of anger hidden under his seemingly calm eyes, and being reminded by a subordinate in such a threatening way made him suddenly feel a wave of anger in his chest - however, with the current disparity in strength, no matter how angry he was, he could only bear it obediently.

After Leo had led everyone away, he raised his hand, and Kenny and his bodyguards behind him all stepped back.

The tall hall was left with him and the woman sitting on the couch.

His chest was still tight, but he had to bow his head again for the days under the fence, and he stayed where he was for a few seconds, obviously doing mental construction, until his face looked much softer and more respectful, and then he walked to the living room.

Squatting down in front of the woman, he gently took his wife's hand, Sven's handsome face was full of pain and self-blame, and asked in a low voice of concern: "Honey, how are you?" Does your head still hurt? It's all my fault, it's me who was confused for a while, I'm sorry, please forgive me. ”

After saying the last word, he seemed to repent, and stepped his face into front of the woman's waist and abdomen, looking groveling.

Rachel looked down at him, her reddened eyes flickering again at his action, and she remained motionless, forcing herself not to be soft-hearted, not to be deceived by his rhetoric.

Taking a deep breath, she stiffened her heart to push the man's shoulder, and the broken syllables trembled slightly: "Don't hold me, you madman, you dare to do something to me......"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to, I missed ......"

"You're in love with that woman! You've loved her for many years, so why are you with me? You lied to me, you don't love me at all! The woman became excited, not only with a trembling voice, but also with a tendency to explode throughout her body.

Zhao Linlang half-knelt in front of her, his arms tightened more and more, and began to swear all kinds of things: "No, the person I love is you!" I was only in the past with her, we had known each other since childhood, and we had known each other for many years, but then she disliked me for not being able to do anything, so she left me and married a rich man, and their children were all over four years old...... Really, I didn't lie to you...... You don't even know how grateful I am, you appeared in the darkest time of my life, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now, you never know how grateful I am to you and how much I love you......"

The woman froze, her beautiful blue eyes still soaked with tears, but her heart had begun to waver.

Zhao Linlang, a person with an IQ, has a first-class ability to perceive people's hearts, and when he saw that she suddenly didn't speak, he knew that he had a chance of winning, and immediately said: "I will go back to New York with you, and I will definitely do what you say, but before that, can you let me carry out the matter in my hand to the end?" I want to acquire Huo's Group, the current progress is very smooth, wait a few days, I get more shares, I can join the Huo's shareholders' meeting and even the board of directors, and when I successfully acquire Huo's, I can reorganize the top management, Huo's into the command, when the time, Huo's Group is my foundation in China, our entire group's business in Southeast Asia and even the whole of Asia will be rapid development. ”

"My dear, this opportunity is very rare, once I succeed, no one will dislike my background in the future, and your brothers and sisters will no longer think that you married a poor boy, and we will be able to turn over, do you understand? And now, I'm away from success, from all this...... It's only one step away—"

Rachel waited quietly for him to finish speaking, took a deep breath, shook his head slightly and persuaded: "What you think is too simple, that Huo Group, I know well, is very powerful in the field of high-tech and communications, you want to acquire it, how is it possible?" ”

"Of course it is possible, now the Huo Group is in charge of Huo Lingyuan, the second son of the Huo family, he is far less skilled than Huo Lingxiao, in the past few months, Huo's performance has declined very sharply, and the growth rate has slowed down seriously, I just seized this opportunity to start."

Speaking of this, the corners of Zhao Linlang's lips hooked up a smile, and he said confidently, "Even if Huo Lingxiao comes back now and is back in charge of the Huo family, it is impossible to return all business to the previous level in a short period of time, as long as I move fast enough, I believe it won't be long before I can sit in the office of the Huo Twin Towers." ”

Rachel was stunned, staring at him for a long time before asking uncertainly, "When you buy Huo's, will you go back to New York with me?" ”

"Of course. Our home is in New York! He smiled and touched the woman's face, doting on.

"Since our family is in New York, why did you buy Huo's? And thou hast said, Here is thy foundation henceforth. Apparently, Rachel, who is suspicious of her husband, is not so easy to fool.

Zhao Linlang pretended to sigh helplessly, held her hand and explained: "These two are not contradictory!" Our home is in New York, which does not prevent my career from being here, I can fly on both sides, the most important thing is that with the strong backing of the Huo family, I will have a status in your family, and you will be beautiful in the future, in the end, I don't want you to be despised again. ”

The woman stopped talking, her eyes fixed on him.

"I swear, everything I say is true! If there is half a falsehood, then let me go out and be hit by a car and die. As soon as the poisonous oath came out, the woman immediately relented, and covered his lips with one hand in a hurry.

The man smiled, grabbed her fingertips and clenched them, got up and sat on the sofa and hugged her tightly, kissed her softly on the forehead, and asked softly and softly, "Does your head still hurt?" Sorry, I'll never do this again, trust me, okay? ”

Rachel finally let go of her guard, slowly approached his arms, and nodded.

Zhao Linlang smiled elegantly, lowered his head and followed her lips, and the two kissed warmly. After a while, the man slowly let go, and while she was confused, he asked again: "So, dear, can you support my career?" ”

Rachel rubbed his neck slowly and said emotionally, "As long as you keep loving me, of course I support you, Geller, don't leave me......"

"Fool, of course I won't leave you."

The two of them let go of their suspicions, and Rachel took the opportunity to ask, "I can agree that you will stay and continue your unfinished business, but you have to promise me that you will never meet that woman again." ”

Looking into the man's eyes, Rachel waited for his response without blinking.

As long as there was no such woman, she didn't mind staying with him at all, but if they continued to see each other, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't go crazy again.

Zhao Linlang also looked at her seriously, and after a slight pause, he promised: "Okay, I won't meet her again." ”

"Then you'll have to destroy the picture of her in your wallet."

"Okay." Zhao Linlang also did not hesitate, and after letting go of her, he took out the wallet from the inner pocket of the suit and found the photo hidden in the mezzanine.

That photo was taken when Fang Ruoning was seventeen or eighteen years old, it was still a black and white photo, and it had been hidden in his wallet for seven or eight years.

Rachel watched his every move, watching him take the picture out, didn't even look at it, turned around and opened the cigar box on the coffee table, took the match from it, scratched it, and then picked it up and placed it on the flame.

In an instant, the picture curled in flames, burned, and turned to ashes.

The woman's face slowly softened and relaxed, until there was a smile at the bottom of her eyes.

"Okay, I did everything you asked me to do, can you trust me now?"

The woman didn't respond, but took the initiative to hug him and sighed again: "Geller, forgive me for my actions, because I really love you and am afraid of losing you." ”

"Me too."
