Chapter 50 - 50. Heartbeats.. (1/2)
It took a while before they reached Ruri's apartment building.
When she saw Ruri go off to change, Nian Xi took out her phone and dialed a number, she patiently waited for a moment till the phone connected, from the other side came the voice of a middle-aged man,
From the concerned tone and the slightly deep voice that had a stern and heavy force to it, it could be said that the other party was very concerned because of the call and if he found anything amiss, hell might break loose.
Though used to the voice, she still felt a chill down her spine, she usually called this man, the current patriarch of the Xun-jia only concerning Ruri so, it wasn't anything new for him to ask what he did, so she composed herself and replied.
”No, Master. Young Miss is fine and is in the country now.” Nian Xi said in a respectful tone.
, there was a moment of silence on the other side as if the other side was contemplating about something.
Nian Xi knew this about him and hence kept her silence.
After a few seconds, she heard the man continue,
That man was a pure businessman, there must be a source for a fire, he was among the few who let the rumors start and occasionally ignited them.
When her daughter told her about her being the 'girlfriend' of Qin Zixuan, he was elated beyond words, so he has been taking slight advantages of the fact and has been indirectly hinting the chairman of the Qin empire and everything seems to be going well.
If it was before he might treat Zixuan as nothing but a pet the Qin-jia took but now that he was the CEO, it was evident that he was held high in the chairman's heart as even his doted grand-daughter was given only the secretary position, a position without much power.
He had to take this chance and make his family stance clear, with the Qin behemoth as an official backup who will further try to fight with them.
As a man, he had an inkling that CEO Qin actually didn't like his daughter as every single time she went to meet him, he had to call the chairman for them to actually meet.
But he didn't care, the CEO was a good find, he was not the type to fool around so, though loveless, his daughter's position as the future mistress of Qin was guaranteed.
Not many could get married to the person they loved, which was even stricter in their circle and at least she gets to marry her loved one, no?
It's killing many birds with a single stone ba.
Xun Luli has been pampered since birth, it was only her duty to return something back.
...haaah...talk about using your own flesh as a tool...this world has become too greedy.
Nian Xi was also such a person, if Ruri gets to be the mistress of Qin, then her life was also set.
How could they let this huge catch go??
With a slightly excited, but still with a respectful note to her voice, she affirmed, ”A dinner meeting the night after tomorrow. Got it. I'll send her to the ancestral mansion tonight then.”
, he hung up.
Nian Xi was so blinded by her future status that she didn't notice the shadow behind her.
Xun Luli stood there with a strange smile, she was slightly aware of it but using her connections 'once' in a while was not a bad thing, that is why they were there anyway, no?
Only him...she can't allow anyone to take him away from her.
Deep down even she was slightly aware that everything was a fantasy she had created but she had locked that thought in the deepest corner of her heart and thrown the key at Mariana trench.
As long as he didn't repel her and let her name stay by his own, she will make him love her...she never regretted loving him.
She was sure she can win his heart as no one was there to begin with...
Ignorance is truly a bliss, no?
It's not that no one was inside it, it's just that the said person was well protected and no one had a chance to see her...
