Chapter 52 (1/2)

”Geez, I've pulled a muscle. Hurry up and help me out.” Since he was just been punched, Liu Qiang's arm had cramped up after he had swung it around several times, so he immediately yelled out to his bodyguard to come lend him a hand.

Naturally, his bodyguard would hurry over accordingly, promptly pulling on Liu Qiang's arm to gently stretch it out a couple times. It seemed like the bodyguard was worried about his monthly bonus.

Looking at the two men pulling at each other, and following Liu Qiang's miserably cry, Yan Tian was soon unable to stifle his laughter from coming out. At the side, Liu Ruoxin didn't even look at the scene, but within her eyes, tears had pooled within.

”You brat……” The furious Liu Qiang pointed his finger at Yan Tian then prepared to say: Brat, you dare to hit me. But once he thought it over once more, he recalled that it wasn't Yan Tian that had hit him, so he suddenly lost his bad temper.

”Ruoxin, your marriage has already been decided. Could it be that you want our Liu Family to break off the marriage with the people of the Huang Family? If our Liu Family and Huang Family calls off the marriage, you should know of what the consequence will be.”

Bringing up the engagement to Liu Ruoxin, she turned her head and grit her teeth: ”Your engagement? Did you guys even consider my feelings? I'm a human as well; I'm not a tool.”

”What's so bad about marrying into the Huang family? The strength of the Huang family in comparison to our Liu Family is much mightier, you know this as well. I'll say it again, what's so bad about marrying the Second young master of the Huang family? He's so young, but he's already a mayor. He looks handsome enough……”

”Uncle, if you've got nothing else to say, then please leave. I'm tired.” Liu Ruoxin turned her head to contain her tears.

Hearing his niece asking him to leave, Liu Qiang said furiously: ”Hmph, we know of the matter that's happened at your company this time. Your grandfather knows of it as well, so he's ordered your cousin Liu Yi to in come in two days time to a.s.sist you with your work. When the time comes, arrange things well for him.”

”I don't need it. As for aiding my work, I can supervise myself true enough. Granted that he comes, I'll let him be an ordinary employee.”

”Hmph, whether you don't need it or do need it, this is the desire of my honored father. As for what you'll let him do, you can think it over yourself. Xiao Liang, let's leave.” Liu Qiang snorted coldly, then called out to his bodyguard to depart.

Liu Qiang glanced disdainfully at Yan Tian's grey Audi after he left. He thought to himself that Yan Tian wasn’t anything but an ordinary city dweller, but he wanted to marry Liu Ruoxin? What kind of international joke was this?

”Ah, Xiao Liang. Wasn't that person's surname Liang? Hehe, of course……” As soon as Liu Qiang's Bentley drove off, Liu Ruoxin sat down on sofa and said to herself.

”Chairman Liu, if you want to cry, just cry, alright?” Yan Tian felt slightly sorry for Liu Ruoxin, looking at her appearance.

”Wuhh Uwuh Wuhh, why do they want it to be like this? Why do they want so much of me? They went through without my consent and engaged me, Wuhh Uwuh Wuhh. Why? Why……”

At this moment, Liu Ruoxin finally let broken-hearted tears flow. It could be imagined how helpless she felt right now. Since she was a child, she had no parents, and her destiny had been controlled by others. Then in the end, she had to become a sacrificial tool. Although Liu Ruoxin had always been quite steadfast in order not let the company fall into the hands of her youngest uncle and eldest uncle, her age was young when she came to manage the company. Yet, she had been plotted against by others in every aspect. Matter after matter, no matter how resolute she was, she was but nothing more than a single woman. Just an ordinary woman. Now, she was finally unable to repress the deep suffering in her heart. Holding on to Yan Tian tightly, she wailed loudly in bitterness.

Looking at Liu Ruoxin's appearance that could ,make people take pity upon her, Yan Tian didn't have any jokes on his mind. Since Liu Ruoxin was clutching onto him so grievously while wailing into him, an indescribable fury grew within him. He extended both hands to tightly hug Liu Ruoxin. Gradually, Liu Ruoxin's weeping became low sporadic sobs. Clutching Yan Tian tightly, the entire world seemed to still at this moment. Time seemed to have frozen in place at this second.

After the pa.s.sing of no less than half an hour, Liu Ruoxin slowly let go of Yan Tian. His entire shoulder had been soaked through by where she had rested her head. At the same time, Yan Tian's whole arm had become numb, prompting him to flex it a bit.

She lowered her head a bit embarra.s.singly once she saw that a wide expanse of Yan Tian's shoulder had become drenched, and that he was in the midst of flexing.

”Hurry up and wash up, alright? Take a look at yourself, you've gone and cried away your make up. It's not quite that pretty.” Yan Tian used his hand to gently rub away the tears at the corners of Liu Ruoxin's eyes.

”Oh!” Liu Ruoxin went to wipe her face right away once she heard what he said. She was well aware of the type of appearance she had at the moment.
