C99 (1/2)

Chu Mengyao stood quietly at the side, not saying a word.

”Ru Ming, we are all merchants. You should understand that a contract has legal effects.” Chu Zhiruo said very calmly, ”Unless it's an irresistible power, you must fulfil your promise.”

Wu Ruming was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Chu Zhiruo, and said calmly: ”If you really want to pursue the matter, then you should be held accountable for breaking the agreement, right?”

Chu Mengyao looked at Wu Ruming in astonishment, not knowing why he would say such a thing. She had seen that contract before as well, and it was clear that Wu's did not charge within the prescribed time. How could it be that Chu's had defaulted?

Thinking about that, Chu Mengyao looked at Chu Zhiruo.

Chu Zhiruo laughed calmly, ”Just based on the contract itself, there is no violation of the Chu's at all.” She clapped her hands together. ”If you have any questions, we can take the contract out and look at it again, or we can call in the lawyers and look at the contract.”

”Are you sure you want to do this?” Wu Ruming looked at them and asked.

”Of course!” Chu Zhiruo replied with certainty.

Wu Ruming raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Zhiruo, ”Before we find a lawyer, let's invite you to take a look at this first!” As he said that, he played a video.

It looked like it was taken secretly because the whole picture was slanted, but the quality was clear. Chu Zhiruo sat on the sofa and said with certainty: ”If we sign this contract, I guarantee that Mengyao will cooperate with Haoran's appearance and help Haoran out with the media. Furthermore, Mengyao will marry Haoran in the future.”

”What if Chu Mengyao did not do what you said?” It was Wu Ruming's voice, but his figure did not appear on the screen.

”There's absolutely no problem with Mengyao,” Chu Zhiruo said very confidently. ”She and Haoran originally had an engagement, and since I'm her aunt, I can make the decision regarding her marriage.”

”This clause will be written in the contract as an additional condition.” Wu Ruming's voice sounded out.

”Sure, but not in the contract. ”This contract will be handled by other people related to it. If it's not good to spread, why don't we use it as a verbal agreement?” Chu Zhiruo suggested.

”It's just a verbal agreement, isn't it?” Wu Ruming laughed.

”Ru Ming, Bai Qing and I have been good friends for many years and we are also classmates. We've known each other for decades, and you still don't believe me? ” Chu Zhiruo joked.

”But if this verbal agreement can't be fulfilled …” Wu Ruming asked.

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chu Zhiruo said, ”Then let's deal with this breach of contract,” her voice was still very confident, ”You must believe me, something like this definitely won't happen.”

”Alright, then so be it.” Wu Ruming finally agreed.

After the video was played, Wu Ruming's office was very quiet.

Chu Mengyao was extremely shocked in her heart. She had never thought that Chu Zhiruo would use her marriage as the price for the cooperation between Chu's and herself. She had always thought that it was only to cooperate with Wu Haoran's show of affection in public.

Chu Zhiruo's face turned ugly, she did not expect that Wu Ruming would actually secretly record a video.

”Zhiruo, do you think we need to find a lawyer to read the contract again?” Wu Ruming raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chu Zhiruo's face was ashen, she did not say a word.

”Don't worry. After Mengyao and Haoran's marriage, I will immediately invest in Chu's to fulfill the contract.” Wu Ruming said leisurely, and was in a very good mood.

”What if you don't marry?” Chu Zhiruo asked.

”Then we can only compensate our Wu's according to the terms of the contract.” Wu Ruming looked at Chu Zhiruo and the others.

Chu Mengyao was shocked. The compensation in the contract was more than a hundred million.

”Ru Ming, Haoran's private life is too excessive. If Mengyao was your daughter, would you be willing to marry her to someone like Haoran?” Chu Zhiruo said coldly.

Wu Ruming did not care, he looked at Chu Mengyao and said bluntly, ”Which man does not have a few women by their side? If I were you, I would definitely marry their daughter. After all, marrying them is good for you and your Chu's. ”

”I won't marry Mengyao to Wu Haoran.” Chu Zhiruo's voice was very firm.

”Zhiruo, don't be too emotional. As you said, we are all merchants, and if you cannot fulfill your contract, then we will have to go through the legal process. ”

After leaving the Wu's, Chu Zhiruo's expression was very ugly. She walked toward the carriage with large strides, her brows knitted tightly together all the way.

”Wu Ruming is an old cunning fox!” Chu Zhiruo could not help but scold, she had actually been tricked by him. Before she came, she felt that she had won for sure, but when she left, she was like a rooster that had lost.
