She’s indeed had a tough life.
With her family passing away one after another, she has been living alone since she was fifteen.
For three years of high school, she worked and studied simultaneously. Despite this, she managed to earn a scholarship every year and excelled in the college entrance exams, becoming the top liberal arts student in the nation, enrolling in Jing University.
Honestly, Helian Yi knew very well that if he were in her shoes, he wouldn’t have been capable of achieving that.
Reflecting on the things he said and did, Helian Yi truly felt a bit guilty.
In the end, she was innocent too.
Lu Xingzhi said something true—he said she wasn’t worthy of Huo Jincheng, but no one cared about whether she even wanted this marriage engagement.
"Third Brother, this must be the legendary Third Sister-in-law! Hello, Third Sister-in-law, I’m Fang Chenze, you can call me Chenze, or Little Zezi if you like." Fang Chenze definitely knew how to read the room. Huo Jincheng’s dislike for Shen Xinzhu was something he noticed early on.
At this moment, it’s better not to let Helian Yi speak!
"A person who understands," Huo Jincheng praised and then dropped a bombshell that made Fang Chenze overjoyed. "Let your father bring the contract to Emperor Group tomorrow to sign it."
Fang Chenze really didn’t expect that calling her Third Sister-in-law could exchange for such a huge opportunity.
His father had always wanted to cooperate with Emperor Group and had recently sent a cooperation proposal over. But the Fang Family wasn’t the only one who wanted to collaborate with Emperor Group.
This arrival of the Third Sister-in-law was just perfect.
He quickly said, "Thank you, Third Sister-in-law, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. I won’t refuse."
"She has me, that’s enough. No need for you. But our Zhi Zhi has just become an adult and is still very young, keep an eye on her, don’t let anyone bully her." After saying this, Huo Jincheng gently looked at Lu Xingzhi and touched her head.
Lu Xingzhi just looked at him skeptically, "Didn’t you say you were drunk and wanted me to pick you up? Why do I feel that you are quite sober!"
Huo Jincheng had forgotten about this, he rubbed his chin awkwardly, and with a smile, he said, "In public, you need to save me some face."
Everyone here realized from his actions that Lu Xingzhi is Huo Jincheng’s fiancée, the woman he cares about.
Some even envied Fang Chenze’s luck for getting the chance to collaborate with Huo Jincheng.
Of course, the person most unhappy with this was Shen Xinzhu.
She hadn’t known that Huo Jincheng cared so much about Lu Xingzhi. He called her by her nickname, and the man who always kept a distance from women was now naturally holding Lu Xingzhi close by her waist.
Just because Fang Chenze called her Third Sister-in-law, the Fang Family got the opportunity to collaborate with Emperor Group.
Was it wrong for her to love him?
No way, Huo Jincheng must be only temporarily interested in Lu Xingzhi.
It’s nothing more than Lu Xingzhi having a pretty face.
And a pair of alluring eyes.
"Jincheng, I have met Little Zhi Liao, but others haven’t met her, shouldn’t you introduce us?" Qin Shihuai felt he was not having an easy time, understanding Huo Jincheng’s intentions.
"This is my fiancée, Lu Xingzhi, the girl who will spend the rest of her life with me. She’s young and obediently soft and cute, so don’t bully her." At this point, Huo Jincheng stopped, his tone sharp as a knife, "Otherwise, there will be no mercy."
