Chapter 6 Then Offer Myself in Return

Chapter 6 - 6 Then Offer Myself in ReturnSeeing that Huo Jincheng didn't respond, Huo Qiyuan started using the latest trick he'd learned — wailing: "Why is my life so bitter! I've got stomach cancer in my old age, and just before I die, I want to see my grandson marry a comforting granddaughter-in-law. Why can't this happen!" "Grandpa!" Huo Jincheng feared hearing the old man say such things, his head aching fiercely. He reassured, "I'll try again." "You must bring Little Zhi Liao back. What's wrong with being young? You've been single for twenty-seven years anyway, what's another two years?" Huo Qiyuan thundered, not at all like a sick old man. Huo Jincheng: "..." He couldn't remember who it was that complained about him being of a certain age and still not having a girlfriend? The old man had already hung up the phone, and Huo Jincheng stood outside for a while before walking in. Looking at Lu Xingzhi watching TV on the sofa, he directly said, "Lu Xingzhi, my grandpa just said that if I can't bring you back, I shouldn't return either." "What? Didn't we already make things clear?" Lu Xingzhi didn't expect Huo Jincheng to return with a phone call and change things. "If you're unilaterally breaking off the engagement, then you'll have to compensate me for my emotional damages." Huo Jincheng changed into a very comfortable sitting position, lazy and relaxed. "What emotional damages?" Lu Xingzhi exclaimed. "Do you know about the Emperor Group?" Huo Jincheng asked. "I know a bit," Lu Xingzhi nodded. "I founded it from scratch." Lu Xingzhi was somewhat surprised, wasn't Huo Jincheng only twenty-seven? So young yet owning such a large group. If she were to marry Huo Jincheng, she'd be hitting the jackpot.

Before Lu Xingzhi could speak, Huo Jincheng continued, "I knew since I was young that I had a fiancée, so I've been single until now. Rejected many outstanding women just to wait for you. If I had married early, by now, I might even have had children." Lu Xingzhi: "..." It sounded like it was all her fault. "And now you want to cancel the engagement? Do you think that's appropriate? Of course, if you're determined to do this, you'll just have to compensate me for the losses over these years. Emotionally and financially. By the way, the market value of Emperor has already exceeded ten billion." When Huo Jincheng said this, he was very serious, without any guilt about deceiving Lu Xingzhi. He deliberately emphasized that last part. Lu Xingzhi swallowed, calculating how many lifetimes it would take to earn that much money herself. She weakly said, "I don't have any money." "Then offer yourself instead!" Huo Jincheng said simply. "No other options?" "Or, you still want to compensate me." Lu Xingzhi thought, this coming-of-age ceremony truly had its ups and downs; either marry off and lead a rich and glamorous life, or be burdened with huge debt, and struggle for a lifetime. With such a stark contrast, Lu Xingzhi considered opting for the first choice! Although, she remained somewhat reluctant. "Lu Xingzhi, rest assured, I have no intentions towards you. Marrying you is at grandpa's behest. After marriage, we can mind our own business. Of course, you will enjoy all the privileges as my wife."
