C17 – The Strongest Marriage Alliance in Asia

“What are you two doing! Zheng Biaolian, I thought you were dating someone behind my back, but it turns out you’re dating your old lover?”

 

Outside the door stood a young man, about the same age as He Xiangchen. He stared viciously at He Xiangchen and Zheng Biaolian; his eyes looked like he wanted to eat them alive.

 

Only then did He Xiangchen remember that he had seen this man before. Wasn’t it Zheng Biaolian’s new love, Jiang Yunian?

 

“Nian Nian, it’s not what you think!” Zheng Biaolian hurriedly explained, “I’ve really broken up with him; we’re just talking about some business!”

 

“Talking about business?” Jiang Yunian mocked, “You need to come to such a luxurious hotel to talk about business? I think you’re just rekindling your old feelings with him! Zheng Biaolian,, go back with me immediately!”

 

“But I’m here ……”

 

“Go!”

 

“Slow down!” He Xiangchen hurriedly shouted when he saw this.

 

Jiang Yunian stepped forward, pulled Zheng Biaolian aside, and looked at He Xiangchen as if he were an enemy. “What else do you want?”

 

“Mr. Zheng promised to give me five million; the money hasn’t been paid yet, and you’re thinking of leaving?” He Xiangchen pulled out a recorder from his pocket. “I have a recording as proof!”

 

Jiang Yunian was about to make a move to grab it, but He Xiangchen had already stuffed the recorder back into his pocket. “I heard that Mr. Zheng is preparing for a listed company. At this kind of time, if a scandal like this is exposed, I think all the major media will be interested in it, and maybe it can divert some of the attention away from the An family.”

 

“Are you crazy?” Zheng Biaolian stared wide-eyed as if he didn’t know He Xiangchen, “If you do this, not only will I be affected, but the matter between us will also be completely exposed! You know how sharp those media’s sense of smell is. When they follow the trail and expose our matter, our reputation will be over!”

 

“Reputation?”

 

He Xiangchen gazed at him sadly: “The An family is going down; what reputation do I need? It would be better to burn with you all! There are only two ways in front of you now: either pay or be exposed. Choose!”

 

Zheng Biaolian had never seen this young master so determined; he had always been relaxed, which made Zheng Biaolian think that He Xiangchen was just an uneducated, easily coaxed straw man.

 

He forgot that He Xiangchen wasn’t stupid; he was just too lazy to use his brain and hands.

 

The An family had his two older brothers, and there was his old man; he just needed to be a good playboy. But now, his dad was hospitalized and the An family building was about to fall; he was really pushed to the extreme.

 

In the face of the hysterical young master, Zheng Biaolian momentarily lost words. In the eyes of Jiang Yunian, such a scene had become a complete Zheng Biaolian’s ex-boyfriend, who was still in love with him, fiercely holding on!

 

“Don’t you just want money? Fine, I’ll give it to you, double!”

 

Jiang Yunian’s malicious gaze swept over He Xiangchen’s cheeks. “But for the extra five million, I want to do something for me. How about it? One thing for five million; you’re not at a disadvantage.”

 

“What do you want me to do for you?”

 

“Kneel down and lick my shoes, swear that you won’t see Zheng Biaolian again in this life. Can you do it?”

 

“Nian Nian, forget it ……,” Zheng Biaolian tugged on Jiang Yunian’s sleeve.

 

Jiang Yunian coldly pushed him away, “Shut up!”

 

Jiang Yunian’s request could almost be described with the word harsh, for He Xiangchen, this was undoubtedly throwing his dignity on the ground and stepping on it twice before crushing it into pieces.

 

He knew he should have refused, but his mind went back to the words his brothers had said to him, to the mocking gazes of the shareholders.

 

If he said yes, he would be looked down upon; if he didn’t say yes, he wouldn’t be able to raise the money, and he would be ridiculed all the same. It would be better to just say yes and relieve the company’s immediate needs.

 

As Jiang Yunian said, he wasn’t at a disadvantage.

 

He Xiangchen clenched his teeth, trying to keep the tears from rolling down from his eyes. Just when his knees were slightly bent and he was about to kneel down, someone suddenly held him up.

 

He looked at the person in confusion, a tall man with sunglasses, a bodyguard uniform, and a scar on the right side of his face, making him look ferocious and abnormal.

 

“Who are you? Who let you in? Get out!” Jiang Yunian raised his hand and was about to push the man out.

 

The black-clothed bodyguard, however, easily dodged his hand and instead pressed him into his seat, “Be quiet.”

 

After saying that, the crowd saw him respectfully retreat to the side.

 

A man slowly walked in.

 

The man was about 1.9 meters tall and looked much stronger than ordinary people. He had a high nose bridge, sharp eyebrows, and a pair of thin lips, which were tightly pursed. Even if he didn’t speak, he naturally had the momentum of being in a high position for a long time. He didn’t look very old, but the nasolabial folds between his eyebrows made him look a little mature and stern.

 

His appearance was as eye-catching as his momentum.

 

However, He Xiangchen couldn’t see any of this.

 

His eyes abruptly widened; the bottom of his eyes filled with disbelief.

 

“It’s him, this look; I can’t be wrong.” He Xiangchen said to the system in his heart.

 

009, however, didn’t understand what he meant. “Who is it? Host, do you know this person?”

 

He Xiangchen, however, didn’t continue to explain; he quickly averted his gaze to hide the shock.

 

“Turn around.”

 

A low and commanding voice rang out, and He Xiangchen subconsciously turned his face back.

 

Those wide eyes, they were really nice to look at.

 

Guan Minfeng sighed in admiration, but his experience remained unperturbed. As a matter of fact, he originally had no intention of meddling in this kind of idle business at all. However, when he saw the teenager bending his legs, an emotion that could perhaps be called protectiveness suddenly arose.

 

There were also those reddish eyes, like two exquisite crystals, worthy of being cared for and stroked with both hands.

 

Perhaps this was human instinct, to subconsciously protect something fragile.

 

Guan Minfeng naively thought he had found the reason; he glanced at the bodyguard; the bodyguard understood and took out a checkbook and a signing pen.

 

“There’s ten million here,” Guan Minfeng said to He Xiangchen while writing the check. “Take it, then leave here.”

 

He Xiangchen stared closely at Guan Minfeng; his feeling couldn’t be wrong, and this person had the same eyes as him. But why was it like this? Angnis was just an existence like a drop in the ocean among the countless worlds under the jurisdiction of the lord god. When his lifespan came to an end, he would die out completely.

 

It was the rule of the Lord god that all worlds couldn’t be connected to each other.

 

Then why on earth did Angnis appear here and also have a different look and identity from the original …… Also, he wondered if he still remembered him.

 

He shouldn’t remember; otherwise, he wouldn’t be looking at him so strangely.

 

After Guan Minfeng signed the check, he saw that exquisite teenager staring at him with burning eyes.

 

Those eyes were the same as before, as if his appearance had brightened up the teenager’s entire world. The kind of gaze that showed he treated him as a savior.

 

The bodyguard didn’t understand why the boss, who hated being looked at with such infatuated gazes the most, actually hadn’t gotten angry yet. One must know that in the past, there were people who tried to seduce the boss but were invariably thrown out after they taught them a lesson. But today, the boss not only didn’t blame him but also gave this young man ten million for nothing.

 

Although to the boss, ten million might be no different from a dollar or a cent in his eyes. But such a special gesture had never been done before!

 

The corners of Guan Minfeng’s lips couldn’t help but turn upwards when he saw that He Xiangchen was only staring at him, not even bothering to pay attention to the check in his hand.

 

He was enjoying the youth’s focused eyes, and there were still remnants of teardrops in those eyes, calling for someone to bully and then lick the teardrops that had rolled down.

 

“Take it.” Guan Minfeng ordered.

 

He Xiangchen nodded blankly and took the check.

 

“Thank you, and what’s your name? I’ll return the money to you later!”

 

The man looked either rich or noble and didn’t seem to be that approachable. He Xiangchen calculated how he had to leave contact information first so that he could slowly get in touch with him later.

 

Guan Minfeng knew that his name was written above the check but still lowered his voice and responded, “Guan Minfeng.”

 

Guan Minfeng …… His name was so nice.

 

He Xiangchen smiled with satisfaction, “I know, my name is An Yang; this is my business card. Also, can you tell me your mobile phone number?”

 

“What for?”

 

“How else will I pay you back later?” He Xiangchen asked rhetorically.

 

The bodyguard was tempted to tell him that the BOSS wouldn’t even look at such a small amount of money. But as a bodyguard, he couldn’t even say a word until it was his time to speak and could only be anxious for this young master, who looked quite exquisite.

 

To ask the BOSS for his contact information, wasn’t that just like a woodpecker on a yellow tree, asking for trouble?

 

The bodyguard never expected that his BOSS would actually pick up a signing pen and write a string of numbers on another check slip.

 

When he saw the string of numbers, he was so shocked that his eyelids couldn’t even close.

 

This was the boss’s private phone number, and the lowest configuration of the contacts in it was the governor! The boss actually gave his private phone number to such an unknown young master. What on earth was he thinking?

 

It was hard to believe…

 

The bodyguard looked at the young master in surprise and had a bold idea in his heart.

 

Could this be BOSS’s stray brother?

 

“I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first. Remember, don’t kneel for others in the future.”

 

As Guan Minfeng spoke, he suddenly associated the scene with the teenager kneeling in front of him …

 

Noticing that his thoughts had a tendency to run off course, his hand hidden in his pocket gave a strong … snap, and the signing pen broke.

 

A certain part of his body suddenly went cold.

 

“Hold on!” He Xiangchen subconsciously pulled on the cuff of Guan Minfeng’s valuable suit, “One minute.”

 

The bodyguard stood guard fearfully; it was over, BOSS had been touched!

 

The last time someone ran into the BOSS, the grass on his grave was already a foot high.

 

Also, he’ll be sacked, for sure! Then he saw the unsympathetic Guan Minfeng, nodding despite his impatience.

 

Afterwards, the soft young master smiled sweetly, then raised his big hand and slammed it hard on Zheng Biaolian’s and Jiang Yunian’s faces! Two “pa, pa” sounds were heard, which were particularly loud in the semi-enclosed box with only the door open.

 

“I wish you two dogs a long and happy marriage!” He Xiangchen gritted his teeth.

 

The bodyguard looked at the BOSS and then at He Xiangchen. The boss, who usually got angry when he encountered trivial matters, was as quiet as a chicken, while the young master, who had always been soft and gentle, mercilessly slapped people.

 

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand, it was just that this world was changing too fast …
