Chapter 118: Chapter 118: The Big Move
Xia Xinyu felt an unspeakable agony.
The reason she had planned the suicide was to make Liu Minjun feel guilty and indebted to her by the He Family, but now, He Jingyao’s grand gesture had made her efforts go to waste. Once she accepted it, even Liu Minjun, who felt she owed Xia Xinyu, would have her guilt greatly diminished.
Although she did not know what Yizheng was planning, she could not ruin his strategy!
With this thought, she began crying, “Mom and Dad, you mustn’t accept it. If you do, then I… I might as well have really died!”
“Xinyu, why are you so stubborn!” Xia Bangguo’s face was unpleasant, “Do you know how tough it is to do business these days! I have only one daughter; all of dad’s business will be yours in the future!”
“But if you accept it, I really won’t be able to face anybody ever again…” she said despairingly.
Xia Bangguo trembled with anger, “You can’t get around this at the moment, I can understand, but I must have this piece of land!”
“I…” Xia Xinyu’s lips trembled lightly, and seeing her parents’ resolute gaze, she suddenly realized the temptation and value of this land were too great for them to refuse.
He Jingyao… really knows how to make a grand gesture!
Xia Xinyu bit her lip hard, thinking about how Yizheng might blame her for this, her heart burning like fire.
Liu Minjun had been sitting quietly by the side, watching everything.
Seeing Xia Xinyu’s distress, she finally spoke softly, “Xinyu, no one else will know about this. Since Jingyao has said that, you can comfortably accept it without any concerns.”
Xia Xinyu looked at her, a plea in her eyes, “Auntie, this really wasn’t my intention.”
“I know.” Liu Minjun helped her up and smiled, “Rest well, I should be getting back.”
Xia Xinyu could only nod in response.
Liu Minjun stood up, showing no interest in greeting Xia Bangguo and his wife, and left the ward on her own.
Uncle Li was waiting for her outside.
“Madam, the young master has already left ahead of time.”
“Mm.” Liu Minjun shook her head and chuckled, “This kid, he really is generous.”
Nevertheless, seeing the two senior members of the Xia Family discard all their dignity over this made her quite pleased. After all, their aggressive demeanor at the beginning had truly been annoying.
After all, the He Family was so wealthy that this little bit of money wouldn’t even scratch the surface.
“Don’t worry.” Uncle Li smiled, “The young master has his own plans.”
After completing the procedures in the HR department, Su Zixi returned to He Jingyao’s office and looked around thoughtfully.
This man’s office also had a bookshelf, filled with innumerable foreign works that made her head swim, but she persisted, trying hard to distinguish the categories of these books.
Suddenly, she felt a strong curiosity about this man.
Despite having shared many intimate moments, Su Zixi always felt this man was very distant from her… She always thought that everything that had happened since meeting He Jingyao was like a dream, one that she could wake from at any moment.
But as of yesterday, they had registered their marriage and became husband and wife. She entered his study and his office, read the books he read, took part in his activities… Gradually, the meaning represented by the name He Jingyao began to enrich in the depths of her heart.
