70 Chapter 70 : Asking Hongqis Permission (1/2)
After Han Pierre's long monologue on stage, he went to greet some old friends and business partners. Of course, he approached Hongqi first.
”Brother Hongqi,” Pierre beamed at Hongqi and briefly glance at the familiar acquaintances. He greeted them with a generous humble smile when he realized these men that surrounded Hongqi were important and prominent people. He was gone for three years, so he had a little bit of a hard time remembering all these faces.
”Pierre, it's been a while.” Hongqi toasted his glasses to Pierre's drink as a sign of greeting.
”Brother Hongqi seems to be very popular all through these years. As expected.” Pierre still has that humble smile plastered on his face. As possible he wanted to look approachable. He wanted to debut to the public with flying colors.
”Of course.” Hongqi conceitedly agreed. Though he may sound arrogant but for the people around them, he was only claiming the facts.
”How are you? It's a pity that you didn't even visited me in the hospital. I also heard you got married to General Song's youngest daughter. You didn't even invited your close brother!” Pierre begrudgingly pouted and laughed. Though he was acting like this to make everyone think he is having a friendly tantrum, yet his eyes didn't have that friendly glow. Rather, it looks lifeless.
Pierre still has animosity against women. He can't help but be scared and hated them. The trauma he gained from those wretched females caused him to be so hateful.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
”I heard you were not allowing guests, so I didn't bother visiting you. Will you even attend my wedding?” Hongqi explained and stressed on his question. He knew very well this flamboyant Pierre wouldn't attend. He hates women now. What if he do something stupid to Xiulan, right?
”Haha, did I? Maybe you visited at a wrong time then. Anyway, you are right. I wouldn't go too since I was still hiding.” Pierre admitted and laughed again.
Honqgi knew that Pierre is just faking his happy mood. He knew very well that this man is trying to win everyone's favor right now. As someone who is considered a brother to this psychopath, he will gladly help him so that the Han family wouldn't try to do dirty tricks on him.
It's not that Hongqi is scared of the Han family, rather he treasures the friendship that the Xing and Han family have.
”It looks like a lot of people wanted to talk to you. We can talk later, Pierre.” Hongqi announced and tap Pierre's shoulders. He briefly smiled at him and Hongqi went to approach his father-in-law, Song Yingpei.
Pierre responded with a curtsy smile. He sharply looked where Hongqi was heading. ”Song Yingpei? So it was really true that Hongqi's using the Song family.” He subconsciously deduced. ”What a smart brother!” He added.
”Father!” Hongqi approached the talkative Song Yingpei, who was currently busy chatting animatedly to his old peers. Everyone who were close enough to hear Hongqi's enthusiastic greeting were all surprised and amused by his sudden friendly aura. They never though that this aloof and domineering man would first approach his father-in-law.
”Father? He never called me like that before in functions like this.” Yingpei suspiciously thought and made a confused look at the approaching Hongqi.
”Kiddo, how are you and my daughter?” Yingpei humbly asked and gave a loose hug to Hongqi as a tender greeting to his son-in-law. Two days ago, his daughter was still in the mansion and was trying to escape this man's sexual attempts. Since his daughter back in Hongqi's territory, Yingpei only hopes that his daughter could keep up with her husband's energy.
”We are good, father. Have you received the souvenirs?” Hongqi happily answered.
”I did. Thank you. There were quite a lot of gifts, eh? Anyway, my friends wanted to discuss something with you.” Yingpei thanked him. Yingpei looked at his peers who were just pestering him a while ago about using her skills again in the military.
”Oh? What it could be?” Hongqi looked at his father-in-law's peers.
Yingpei's peers suddenly shuddered when the great Hongqi looked at them. Though they are old and had distinguished backgrounds and positions, they are still heavily inferior to Hongqi.
”Ah... it's nothing important, young master Xing. Forget about it... hehehe.” One of the old peers awkwardly said and quickly gave an angry look at Song Yingpei.
