Chapter 2 Hiram Meeting With Rachel (2/2)

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

om Rong Family impolite? Even though I may be loud, is it really necessary to threaten me like that?” Rachel raised her eyebrows as she said those words with a displeased voice.

How dare Hiram ask Rachel to shut up?

Rong Family was not new to Rachel at all.

The so-called agreement between Ruan Family and Rong Family had been mentioned by the elders ever since she was young. She even heard about it for more than a thousand times.

Deeply inside, she really had no good impressions about the Rong Family.

Hiram's already cold face turned even colder immediately. ”Threaten?” he said in a very cold voice. It seemed like the whole room was covered with a layer of ice. ”Did you mean I was threatening you? If so, I'm glad to practice on so-called 'threaten' to make it true.”

Before completing his words, he walked closer to Rachel. He held out his long arm, wrapped it around Rachel's waist and said, ”I hate gossiping woman. Since you like gossiping so much, how about I give you a horn so that you can use it to make all people hear your words?”

It all happened so sudden that Rachel didn't have time to act before she had been rudely cuddled by Hiram.

”Oh! my dear kids. You are in the temple. Rachel Ruan, can you stop quarreling with him?” It seemed that they would have a fight any second. The woman guard stood up quickly and convinced them to stop, but she said it in her local dialect.

After what the woman said, Hiram Rong furrowed his eyebrows even more. He did not grow up in the XH Village, so he didn't understand what she just said. But there was a word that was very clear to him, ”Ruan”.

'She is from Ruan Family?' Hiram whispered to himself.

What a coincidence! Ruan Family was not new to Hiram either.

He didn't have good impressions about Ruan Family too.

Wait wait.

Ruan Family?

”Tell me! How are you related to Simpson Ruan?”

Hiram remembered, when he was still very young, his grandfather would lie on his rocking chair and said, ”Hiram, I have found you a very beautiful wife-to-be. This girl is so gentle and virtuous. I'm sure you'll love me for doing this. You are very lucky, my little boy.

By the way, from now on, you better be good to her. Oh, right! Remember, her name is... Let me think.”

”My name is Rachel, and Simpson is my father. How did you know my father?” Rachel looked at the man in front of her with great curiosity. Both her parents were from XH Village, and there were only two big family names in the village - Ruan and Rong.

But her father passed away long time ago. Why would he mention her father?

Hiram laid-back his eyebrows and put a cold smile on his face again. How ridiculous was his grandfather saying she's ”gentle and virtuous”.

'I'm afraid grandpa has already had a blurred vision since then, ' Hiram thought.

Rachel backed off one step as soon as Hiram loosened her arm around her waist. Her face showed annoyance. That man clutched on her waist so rough and so tight that it really hurt.

”It seems that you don't like me and the Rong Family.” Hiram answered but not to her question. Looking at his darker eyes, no one could tell what he was thinking that time.

”Of course! Brutal, barbaric, and likes to threaten people! I heard that the Rong Family started the business with freight. No wonder. People from that place are so rude.” Rachel was working in the marketing industry. And she was the the leader of the best marketing team. There was not doubt why she was very good at conversing.

Rong Family had sent gifts to Ruan Family for many years, though they had never showed up personally. It was very clear that they looked down on Ruan Family but kept pretending to be generous. Rachel hated this deep down in her heart.

Hiram pretended to pat the dust from his body acting like he did not want to have any traces of that shallow woman. After that, he said, ”What an easy woman. Since you look down upon Rong Family, it's better if you don't go against your conscience and join our family.”

”I swear to God! I will never join you. By the way, why have you thought about that? Joining your family? Are you kidding me? Even if you beg me, I will never do it!” Rachel couldn't resist herself to laugh out loud. She thought that man was really entertaining. How could he think she would like to join their family?

”Very good. You better remember what you just said.”

Hiram seemed to be not intimidated by what Rachel said and smiled instead. He looked at her bright, white face then slowly and clearly said, ”Do remember what you just said! I will keep an eye on you!”
