When she was young, Lin Qingan naively thought that in this world, some people would never hurt her. But Lin Qing still forced her to marry Huo Zhen after Lin Qingan's reputation was ruined for business reasons. After Huo Zhen married her, he also inserted the deepest and coldest knife into her heart.

So, where in this world is there anything absolutely to speak of? Everyone changes, and when they were young, the promises made by those teenagers as a joke among themselves change. The business field is even more deceitful, and the marriage of children can be used as a bargaining chip to be manipulated arbitrarily, and the intertwined relationship between several major families can change back and forth.

Lin Qing'an hates this kind of life, she is like her mother, Mrs. Xin, she is not born to belong to this Vanity Fair. But she is the daughter of the Lin family, so it is destined that Lin Qingan will still marry Huo Zhen, and Huo Zhen will still marry Lin Qingan home.

The voice on the other end of the phone gradually fell silent, Lin Qingan hung up the phone, leaned on the soft cushion, and was silent for a long time.

"Pigeon" represents Lin Qing'an's new identity. She escaped like a pigeon from the cramped pigeon cage in M City. And the reason why her identity was found out so quickly by Ashley is of course because there is no leaky wall in the world, but it is also related to that person's carelessness and overconfidence.

That's why Lin Qing'an reminded him to see if there was any problem with the pigeons.

Although it is a very stupid thing to say code words, in Lin Qingan's current situation, she has no better way.

The two babies are waiting to be fed, Lin Qingan is alone, who can she rely on?

There is no other way but to rely on yourself.

These mafia, whoever kills anyone, whoever loves anyone, Lin Qingan can be regarded as completely thinking about it for a moment - these people's fights, killings, love and hatred...... What does it have to do with her? She was just an innocent passer-by, and if Ashley wanted the ring, she went directly to Huo Zhen. Since one million euros, he can throw this figure at will, so if Huo Zhen increases the price to two million euros, as long as Ashley has to do it, it will not be a problem.

Perhaps no one knows Huo Zhen's nature better than Lin Qing'an.

Huo Zhen is a successful businessman, and in Huo Zhen's hands, everything is clearly priced. As long as he pays enough to satisfy him, he will never go home empty-handed.

Lin Qingan thought silently and sighed lowly.

If Huo Zhen knew what Lin Qing'an was thinking, he would definitely reluctantly admit that what Lin Qing'an said was right after a moment of rage.

He was indeed a mercenary businessman. The world is bustling, all for profit. Huo Zhen once thought that he would never do a loss-making business, and he would never put himself in an embarrassing situation in front of the public...... Just like Lin Qing'an thought, Huo Zhen didn't care about anything around him, because there were no consumer goods that money couldn't buy.

But there are some things, Huo Zhen will never put a price on them.

Huo Zhen also broke his persistence and lowered his bottom line again and again.

In order to facilitate the business contacts of Yunjian Group in Milan, and in order to find Lin Qingan's whereabouts more conveniently, Huo Zhen directly booked a luxury suite in a hotel in the center of Milan for half a year.

Huo Zhen was the last owner of the ring in that auction, and perhaps for others, this matter was a secret. But for Ashley......

As long as it's something he wants to know, he'll know.

In the luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel, Ashley smiled politely at Li Wangshu: "Hello, I have made an appointment for Mr. Huo this afternoon. ”

Li Wangshu, who was so busy with the two things of Beatrice Manor and the search for his wife's whereabouts, scratched his head, and he never remembered that he had arranged an afternoon meeting time for Huo Zhen. Strangely, the memo in his computer system did have such a record.

Ashley de Capet, a senior member of the Ciri Group, made an appointment to visit Huo Zhen this afternoon.

Li Wangshu secretly scolded that he had a bad memory and almost delayed the president's affairs, so he hurriedly followed the process and introduced this Mr. Ashley into the reception room in Huo Zhen's room.

When Ashley saw Huo Zhen, Huo Zhen was signing a document.

Even if it is still in Milan, the important matters of the domestic Yunjian Group still have to be submitted to Huo Zhen for signature.

Huo Zhen raised his head and looked indifferently at the handsome blonde man in front of him, he didn't remember that there was such a person on his itinerary, but Li Wangshu reminded Huo Zhen in a low voice that the other party was a senior member of Xirui Group, and it might help the business they were talking about now.

Since Ashley had emphasized his need for a "one-on-one private conversation" in his previous appointment, Li Wangshu quickly went to the next room and left the space in the guest room to Huo Zhen and Ashley.

"Mr. Huo, hello."

To Huo Zhen's surprise, this man named Ashley, with a pair of strange green eyes, actually spoke fluent Chinese, although the pronunciation was still slightly strange, but this is a common problem among foreigners. When it comes to communication, it's just a trifle.

Huo Zhen bowed slightly.

Ashley relaxed and sat down on the sofa in the reception room, he crossed his hands on his lap, and with a calm and gentle smile on his face, he said lightly: "I heard that Mr. Huo has a soft spot for the Beatrice estate on the outskirts of Milan. ”

Huo Zhen narrowed his eyes: "It's not a secret. ”

It is no secret that he traveled all the way to the country to facilitate the start of this project.

Ashley smiled faintly: "Your Excellency must have heard the news that has been making a lot of noise on TV recently. Beatrice Manor, once the private property of the royal family. Thirty years ago, it was inherited by a royal princess at the time, as a dowry. ”

Huo Zhen's eyes gradually condensed a ghostly light.

Ashley continued: "This royal princess, her marriage, also exists as a bargaining chip between the nobles. The princess married into the historic Trist family, and rightfully brought ownership of the fief to the Trist family. After the tragic death of the princess, the ownership of the Beatrice estate fell into the hands of the princess's only son, Lord Trist, who had just been shot and killed at an auction two days earlier. ”

Huo Zhen didn't have any other expression on his face, he looked at Ashley calmly, and hooked the corners of his lips: "The ownership of this manor is also not a secret. Thankfully, wasn't it because of Lord Trist's meticulous trust arrangement that I didn't have to do business with a five-year-old child? ”

The past between these royal nobles may be a story like the Arabian Nights.

But what happened to the aristocracy for the big conglomerates? Don't the nobles eat and drink Lazar? Can't the money of the nobility be earned?

Ashley lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the strange brilliance in his eyes: "It's a pity that all the trust arrangements of Lord Trist during his lifetime have lost any legal effect after his death has become an established fact. ”

Ashley raised his eyes, and his dark green eyes looked at Huo Zhen: "In my hand, I have a suicide note left by Lord Trist before his death. In this suicide note, he named the heirs of all his property. Other words...... The ownership of the estate was not in the hands of the five-year-old. And in the hands of another man from the Trist family......"

His tone was unhurried, and his expression did not loosen in the slightest.

Huo Zhen calmly looked at Ashley's eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly: "So, why are you here today, Mr. Ashley." ”

Ashley stood up.

He is extremely tall, his steps are elegant, and his bearing throughout his body is to illustrate the blue-blooded origin symbolized by the word "De" in his middle name.

Ashley stood still in front of Huo Zhen's desk, slowly took out a document and a few photos, and put them upside down on Huo Zhen's desk.

Huo Zhen raised his hand to open these documents and photos disappreciably, but the moment he saw the content of the photos, his pupils suddenly narrowed.

The pale and thin text of the document is no more gripping than the actual clarity of the photographs.

Ashley showed a pale and emaciated woman with a sleeping face.

A face that is not pretty, it can also be said to be mediocre. Maybe when you dress up and put on makeup, you will have a delicate feeling.

But this face is completely oblivion. Thrown into the crowd, if you are not familiar with someone, you will not recognize it at all.

But Huo Zhen is different.

This is a face he thinks about day and night, not beautiful, not flattering, not knowing how to please petty, and even stupid enough to destroy his future...... But Huo Zhen was still damn haunted by this face......

In the photo, the woman is asleep in a hospital bed, wearing a wide hospital gown and her cheeks sunken from emaciation. But there was a peaceful smile on her lips. Even in her sleep, her expression can still show that her mood is happy.

What worries Huo Zhen even more is a crib next to the woman's bed.

In the next photo, Huo Zhen finally got his wish and saw the baby's face......

At this moment, Huo Zhen almost forgot that he was talking about business now, and he also forgot the suspicious identity and words of the man in front of him.

Huo Zhen looked at this photo in a daze, looked at the faces of the two babies who were also sleeping and smiling in the photo, and muttered, "Two? ……”

In the next second, Ashley's words broke Huo Zhen's immersion in his inner world.

With a smile, the man said elegantly: "Congratulations to Mr. Huo, your wife gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl. Double happiness is indeed a rare good thing. So, after the fun, it's time to get down to business, Mr. Huo. ”

Huo Zhen raised his head suddenly, his deep black eyes staring at the enigmatic blonde man in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?"
