Chapter 4 Marriage Transactions
This small western-style building, which was some years old, was engulfed in flames, and the flames soared to the sky.
The housekeeper knocked frantically on the door of the evening bedroom outside the door, "Miss, it's on fire, wake up, wake up!" ”
Xiang Wan was choked until she coughed all the time, opened the bedroom door, and the housekeeper threw her a wet towel, "Miss, come with me, hurry downstairs, the fire is too big!" ”
Xiang Wan had just woken up from a nightmare, and some of them couldn't tell which were dreams and which were real, and his steps were a little slower, almost being dragged by the housekeeper.
The housekeeper has followed Xiang Dong since he was very young, and he has received a great favor from him, and he has done his best for Xiang Wan, even if he tries his best, he will not let her get hurt.
The two ran to the first floor in the huge smoke and firelight, and seeing that they could finally run out of the building safely, Xiang Wan suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter, Miss, let's go." The butler coughed violently, choking as soon as he opened his mouth.
"You go first, I have to go back and get something." Xiang Wan pushed her, turned around and rushed upstairs.
The housekeeper didn't have time to hold her at all, watching her back be engulfed in smoke, and suddenly there was no one.
She stamped her feet in a hurry, and there was no other way, so she quickly ran out of the building to find someone to ask for help.
The fire truck came quickly, but the fire was too big, and the main structure of the small western-style building was made of wood, and it was almost completely burned out in less than ten minutes, and it was crumbling.
Firefighters rushed into the building to save people, and just after reaching the first floor, Xiang Wan rushed out of the inside.
She took her last breath and fainted on the ground as soon as she left the building.
The butler quickly ran over, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Xiang Wan clutched the things he desperately grabbed in his hand, a photo album, and a small box.
Inside the box was a purple taaffe necklace, and Xiang Wan desperately wanted to save it not because it was priceless, but because it was a gift from Xiang Dong for her birthday this year.
That album had all the pictures of her and her mom.
However, after the baptism of fire, the album was badly damaged, and the photos inside were mutilated.
Several of my mother's smiling faces were also burned with terrible marks.
Xiang Wan stared at these photos in a daze, his expression slowly calming down from pain, and there was a terrifying peace.
The housekeeper squatted beside her, not knowing how to comfort her: "Miss, talent is the most important thing, you are safe......"
Xiang Wan stared at the black ruins in front of him, calm to the point of almost depression.
Footsteps sounded behind her, standing next to her.
The housekeeper turned around and exclaimed, "Ji ...... Season less. ”
Xiang Wan also turned around and met Ji Zhoubai's eyes.
Her red eyes were cute, but Ji Zhoubai didn't have any sympathy in his eyes, he just stretched out his hand towards her and pulled her up.
"I just passed by, I saw the fire trucks going this way, and I saw the smoke again, and I was curious to come and take a look, but I didn't expect it to be really on fire at home." Ji Zhoubai's tone was light, and he couldn't hear any special emotions.
After Xiang Wan got up, she stood face to face with Ji Zhoubai, her clothes were burned through several holes, and her face was so dirty that she couldn't see it, but even so, she didn't mean to show weakness and give in.
"Young Master Ji, if you are free, let's talk." Extend an invitation to the evening.
Ji Zhoubai stared at her for a few seconds and nodded.
In the clubhouse, Ji Zhoubai and Xiang Wan sat down face to face.
Ji Zhoubai handed her a few tissues, "Wipe your face, I have nothing to say to the disheveled homeless man." ”
Xiang Wan ignored his humiliation, wiped his face indiscriminately, and looked up at him, "Ji Shao, let's get married." ”
So straightforward and crisp.
Ji Zhoubai didn't expect her to say this, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me, how do you want to use me?" ”
Xiang Wan choked for a moment, and didn't intend to hide it from him, "Grandpa's will says that I need to get married and start a family to inherit the Xiang Group, so I need a marriage partner very much now." ”
Ji Zhoubai leaned back lazily and hooked his lower lip, "So what?" ”
Xiang Wan looked him straight in the eye, "I think you're a good fit." ”
Ji Zhoubai tapped his fingers lightly on the table and sneered, "Why do you think I will want a woman who has slept with other men, and made a lot of noise?" ”
Turns out he knew about it, too.
Xiang Wan sighed in his heart, desperately kept calm, rolled his throat, and threw out his last bargaining chip, "I am the only heir of the Xiang Group, and I currently own the most shares of the company, if the two of us join forces, it will definitely be a good thing for Naiqi Perfume, don't you want to grasp Naiqi Perfume more firmly?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Zhoubai grinded his teeth and didn't speak.
Xiang Wan continued, "Doubling the wounds I have suffered is the posture I should have, this is what you told me." ”
She glanced at the broken photo album in her hand, and all the hatred came up again, "The western-style building is on fire, and the people in the big mansion next to it are indifferent, they really plan to let me die in the fire with this building." ”
She knew very well that the fire was either an accident or a release to her family.
Ji Zhoubai suddenly leaned forward, raised his hand and pinched Xiang Wan's chin, looked at her, and there was more playfulness in his eyes, "You remember what I said so clearly, then you must remember - if you want to marry me, you have to play slowly with me." ”
Playing slowly with a pervert, what can you play?
Xiang Wan's mind came to mind what Ji Zhoubai did to Xiang Linlin on that stretched Lincoln that day.
She shuddered.
The hand was placed on the album again, and all fear turned into desperate courage.
She raised her head, took away Ji Zhoubai's hand, and touched her lips slightly, "Whatever you want to play, I'll accompany you." ”
