Chapter 636: Chapter 635 Ashamed
Ye Xiaoqian was flush with embarrassment. It turned out that in his heart, the meals she cooked were indeed so terrible that even Liu Zheng didn’t like them.
"Hmph, if you don’t like it, then don’t force yourself."
Ye Xiaoqian muttered to herself and then continued to eat the food on the table,
Just at that moment, Liu Zheng’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, then stood up,
"Wife, I’m going to take a call. I’ll be right back."
"Okay."
Ye Xiaoqian didn’t ask any further and simply continued to focus on the food in her bowl,
while Liu Zheng walked to the balcony and pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Young Master Liu, hello, this is Liu Tianlong. Can we negotiate our relationship now? Have you agreed to give up your encroachment on the Liu Corporation, dump our company’s stocks, and then we might consider giving you all the funds from within the company. How about it? Isn’t this deal very worthwhile?"
"Ha, very worthwhile, but why should I believe you? Haven’t you always wanted to deal with me?"
"Young Master Liu, as you know, in all of Huaxia now, you’re the only man. Our two great families, who would willingly let others take our place? This time our families have united to bring you down. So, rest assured, we won’t harm you."
"Ha, and why should I believe you? You two great families have united against me, on what basis should I trust you? Although the strength of your two families is formidable, when compared to mine, it is far inferior. I think, with your strength, you can’t compete with me at all, so you don’t need to worry. I won’t harm you."
"You really are strange. Just because our strength is greater than yours, does that mean we shouldn’t worry? Liu Zheng, I have to admit, I underestimated you."
"Ha, same here. I always thought I was very capable, but now I finally understand—I’m just a fool."
"Liu Zheng, since you’re unwilling to give up your attack on the Liu Corporation, then we have no choice but to meet on the battlefield."
"Meet on the battlefield? I’d like to see that, but do you have what it takes? I advise you to return to your country early and save the embarrassment. I don’t want to see you around."
"I don’t want to see you either."
Liu Zheng hung up the phone and then turned to walk back into the dining room.
"Qian Qian, I won’t be joining you for dinner tonight. Tomorrow morning, I’ll send a car to pick you up. Remember, be good and don’t run around, understand?"
"Okay, you need to take care of yourself too, don’t get so busy that you forget to eat dinner. Also, you haven’t retired yet, and your salary hasn’t been that much for long. Please, don’t ruin yourself over this small amount of money. I don’t want to see you become a skinny monkey."
Liu Zheng’s heart warmed up,
This was his wife. Although she was often careless and sometimes quite headstrong, in the end, she still understood what he needed.
"I’ll keep that in mind. What about you? You can’t go hungry after I leave either."
"Mm."
Ye Xiaoqian nodded, "I know."
A smile appeared on Liu Zheng’s face, and then he stood up, ready to walk out the door.
"Husband, remember to come back early, okay?"
"Mm, I know."
After Liu Zheng left, a complex look appeared in Ye Xiaoqian’s eyes.
She knew that Liu Zheng must be going to meet that Mr. Liu.
Although she didn’t like him much, and even felt he was a bit of a philanderer, he was indeed an outstanding man,
If it weren’t for him, she might not have been able to survive,
But if she were without him, what would she become?
At that thought, Ye Xiaoqian’s mind involuntarily conjured an image,
A boy dressed in black clothes, wearing a hat,
looking at her indifferently,
then slowly pulling a bullet out of his trouser pocket.
This scene filled Ye Xiaoqian’s heart with fear.
She really couldn’t believe that if that bullet had hit her just now, what would she have done,
At this thought, Ye Xiaoqian’s complexion turned pale.
At that moment, Ye Xiaoqian suddenly felt an urge to cry,
She really was just an ordinary girl, and she didn’t want her life to end like this, nor did she want to be used by others.
Ye Xiaoqian cast her gaze towards the dishes on the table,
"Husband, don’t blame me, I had no other choice."
Having said that, Ye Xiaoqian picked up her chopsticks and began to eat voraciously.
Meanwhile, Liu Zheng, who was outside the door, suddenly stopped in his tracks and then turned to look into the room,
He had a bad feeling,
Liu Zheng had heard Ye Xiaoqian calling out for him which is why he had deliberately raised his voice.
However, it seemed like Ye Xiaoqian hadn’t realized he was outside the door,
This made Liu Zheng somewhat puzzled.
How did Ye Xiaoqian know he had arrived?
Doubts filled Liu Zheng’s heart,
He knew Ye Xiaoqian must have overheard his conversation with the person on the other end of the phone,
After some thought, Liu Zheng decided to leave.
Ye Xiaoqian looked at the food on the table,
"Husband, you’re right, if our two families join forces, we can definitely take down Liu Corporation, I won’t let you succeed," she declared.
Then, Ye Xiaoqian picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat heartily.
Ye Xiaoqian ate quickly,
Because she knew she had to maintain her figure, so she must eat as swiftly as possible to put on some weight.
...
On the other hand, Liu Zheng sat in the car with a somber expression on his face,
"Are you sure you’re not deceiving me? Will that Liu guy really join forces with us?" he queried.
"Young Master, don’t underestimate this Ye. Though his family background is not as good as yours, he possesses a mysterious organization with a leader named Liu Zheng. I’m not very clear on the details, but one thing is for sure, Liu Zheng has the strength to contend with us," replied the subordinate.
"Liu Zheng, huh! Liu Zheng, I really want to see just how capable he is, daring to be so arrogant," Liu Zheng scoffed.
"Young Master, don’t take this lightly. We must strike first to be strong, otherwise, the only outcome waiting for us is death," the subordinate warned.
"Of course, I know we need to be more careful this time, but tell me, how much money does that girl named Ye Xiaoqian actually have?" he inquired.
"Thirty billion."
Hearing this number, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air,
"Thirty billion, thirty billion! If I get my hands on that money, I can buy lots and lots of stuff overseas, and then engage in other activities. Not only could I live luxuriously abroad for a lifetime, but I could also lead a good life. Tell me, to whom should I give this money?" he mused.
"Young Master, I’m not quite following," confessed the subordinate.
"This was entrusted to me by my father before he passed away. He wanted me to manage the company well and expand its growth. I cannot go against his last wish," Liu Zheng explained.
"However, Young Master, I think this woman is no simple character," the subordinate cautioned.
Liu Zheng frowned upon hearing this,
"What makes her not simple?" he asked.
"It’s just a feeling I have. She has a very distinct aura, like that of a queen, inspiring one to bow down in reverence, yet there’s also a chilling sensation," the subordinate described.
"A queen?"
"Yes, I’m not sure if it’s just a delusion, but there’s a feeling that if we confront her, we’re going to have serious trouble," the subordinate continued.
"Hahaha, are you thinking too much? Even if she has the demeanor of a queen, I, Liu Zheng, am not a pushover," Liu Zheng laughed off the warning.
"Yes, but I don’t know why, I just have this feeling that she’s dangerous, like a lioness, always ready to strike at us," the subordinate added.
Liu Zheng paused for a moment, taken aback.
