Never Live Up to Your Love - C120

Seeing that I didn’t say anything, he took the initiative again and said, “Your words, I have already personally conveyed them to you last time. As for the matter regarding the mine, we can talk about it.”

He paused, then asked, “Do you have time now?”

I finally snapped out of my daze and replied, “Yes.”

He said, “Okay, we’ll meet at the café across the street from the hotel.”

I didn’t say much, because I still hadn’t figured out what was going on, and I quickly hung up the phone in case the conversation went wrong.

After hanging up the phone, I picked up my bag from the sofa and left. Li Luo came chasing after me from behind, seeing that I was in a hurry, he pulled me back and asked: “Did something happen? Where are you going? ” Hearing me say this, Li Luo asked in disbelief, “Really?”

I said, “The Treasure Lotus CEO’s assistant gave me a call.”

I said, “Yes, he’s asking me to meet him at a café across the street from the hotel.”

Li Luo quickly said: “Then I’ll accompany you.”

I stopped him and said, “There’s no need. I’ll go over by myself. I think it’s about the mine.”

Hearing my words, Li Luo could only choose to compromise. After changing my shoes, I quickly left the hotel and rushed over to the coffee shop we had agreed upon, where the black clothed man was already sitting there waiting for me. He was still dressed in his work clothes, and when I walked over to him, he politely extended his hand out to shake mine, and laughed: “I am truly sorry for suddenly asking you to come out.”

Hearing his words, I also smiled and politely said, “It is my honor to meet you for the second time.” I thought about it and tried again. “What should I call you?”

He said, “My surname is Chen. “A single name for a single word.”

When he finished, we sat down together. He had ordered coffee in advance, because the next second the waiter had brought it up and ordered lattes that suited my taste.

We didn’t exchange any pleasantries, and immediately cut to the chase when we sat down. He said: “I was busy that day waiting for you to pass on your words to my boss, our Treasure Lotus has indeed just returned back to the country, and there are many places that we aren’t familiar with, and we don’t understand the rules of this circle. After all, it’s always outsiders. You are the CEO of the Yu Family. I heard that the Yu Family has made great achievements in manufacturing these few years, and is even outstanding in many areas. Our Treasure Lotus naturally intends to communicate and cooperate with such an outstanding enterprise. ”

He was beating around the bush, but I didn’t have the patience to listen. I directly expressed my point of view, “I want this mine. Today, I’m here to discuss it with your Treasure Lotus. There are better ways to let our two families reach a good consciousness.”

Chen Su was not annoyed by Rui directly asking for it. He did not beat around the bush and directly replied me: “We can give up the mine that is Yi City, but we have a request.”

I guessed. Everything has to be exchanged in the same way, just that I don’t know what Treasure Lotus wants to take away from me.

When he saw me staring at him so nervously, he only smiled and said, “What we want is to buy 6% of the shares in your Yu’s.”

When he saw me looking at him without saying anything, he took a sip from his coffee cup and whispered, “Why aren’t you talking? Does this request trouble you? ”

I asked with the same smile, “Don’t you think it’s inconceivable that you would do such a thing? “Oh.”

He also replied with a question: “For our Treasure Lotus to give up on the mines for no reason, don’t you think that idea is a little whimsical?”

His words left me speechless. I could only casually take a sip of my coffee from the table as I knew that both of our conditions were hanging on each other’s neck. I thought that his request would at most be a trade of equal significance, but I didn’t think that he would buy a stake in the Yu’s.

This was touching the very foundation of the Yu’s.

He saw my face darken. He smiled and said: “You should be clear, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, not to mention this piece of food that our Treasure Lotus has already been swallowed up, and we have even spat it out to your family. We have already done this in a very sincere manner, and we will even help you link up with Chief Lu, and it’s up to you how you guys want to talk when the time comes, and the reason our Treasure Lotus wants to buy 60% of your Yu’s’s shares is also because we have our eyes on the future of Yu’s.

I said, “Since you are clear about my relationship with Yu’s, then you should know that I don’t even have the right to speak up in Yu’s. Even though 6% of the shares aren’t large, it’s still not something I can sit on.”

He said: “In that case, why don’t you talk to your father before you talk to us?”

He handed me a business card and said, “You can call me anytime you want.”

I sat there for a few seconds, wondering if I should pick up the card, but then I thought better of it and reached out and took it from him.

After that, Chen Su left, leaving me alone in the coffee shop.

Immediately after that, On Syouwa called me, and asked me about his progress.

I told him honestly on the phone, “Dad, I’ve been in contact with the people from Treasure Lotus before. He said that he agreed to give up that land, but they have a request.”

On Syouwa wasn’t surprised in the slightest that the other party would want to make a trade with us. He directly asked me: “What are their requests?”

I said: “They Treasure Lotus want to buy 6% of our Yu’s shares.”

On Syouwa immediately raised his voice and said: “What did you say?!”

Instead of repeating it, I gave him time to digest it.

After a minute or so, On Syouwa said, “They really do know how to accept six percent of the shares.”

I said, “What do you think?”

On Syouwa said: “I only have thirty percent of the Yu’s’s shares. Their Treasure Lotus s have taken away six percent, and I have twenty-six percent. What do you think I’d think about that? ”

Right now, Yu’s’s second share held 20% of the shares. If On Syouwa sold 6% of the shares, with 4% being lacking, On Syouwa’s position would indeed be very dangerous and very awkward.

I had already expected that the usually crafty On Syouwa would not agree to such a condition.

He said through the phone: “Tell Treasure Lotus, tell them to pull you down!”

He was so angry that he hung up the phone. I heard a beep sound from you and closed the phone, On Syouwa’s attitude, is this proof that the deal was broken?

I thought about it for a long time. Then I got up from the booth with my bag and left the café.

After returning, Li Luo asked me how things were going with Treasure Lotus, and I told him about the requirements for Treasure Lotus, at that time, Li Luo also felt that it was a little inconceivable, and maybe it was even a little excessive. He continued, “However, the requirements for Treasure Lotus are too excessive, and our requirements are not that great.

I sat on the sofa and took a sip of the red wine in my goblet. “On Syouwa doesn’t agree,” I said.

Li Luo was also holding a glass of red wine as he leaned against the counter and looked at me, laughing: “If he doesn’t agree, then wouldn’t it be perfect to help you settle this thorny problem? After all, you did your best. Whether he accepts it or not is his problem. ”

Hearing Li Luo’s words, I did not laugh, nor did I give him a reply. Instead, I lowered my eyes and swirled the red wine in the cup, looking at the transparent red liquid within.

Li Luo put down the red wine in his hands, and slowly walked over from the other side of the counter. After he walked to my side, he raised my chin, his naked eyes looking at me as he said: “I don’t want you to work so hard, how about we go back the day after tomorrow?”

I would look back at him, and when I didn’t answer, he took my lips in his and sucked them slowly. I didn’t resist, just leaned back on the sofa and let him kiss me.

On Syouwa didn’t agree to this deal, and this matter naturally ended here. Li Luo and I left the y city the next day, and on the day we returned, I did not receive any more calls from Fu Ziya.

Since this matter didn’t have any results, I naturally couldn’t be bothered to continue maintaining our relationship.

We were on an airplane that afternoon, and it would only take two hours for the plane to fly over. After landing, Li Luo didn’t return home for a few days, so naturally, he had to go back to visit his parents. The two of us parted ways at the airport, and originally, I wanted to go to the Qiao Family to see Jorin Of Course’s parents, but who would have known that On Syouwa would give me a call once again, inviting me to go to Yu Family.

The moment we arrived at the entrance of the Yu Residence, Yumann Ting and Xiao Ruoyun immediately walked out. I hadn’t seen Yumann Ting for a long time and she had been busy with company matters abroad during this period of time. When I met her, I naturally took the initiative to give her a hug.

After being hugged by me, she hugged me back and patted my back twice before saying, “It’s good that you’re back. Mom has been nagging at you for such a long time already.”

She could only vaguely make out where my shadow was. She was supported by a servant as she walked up to me and grabbed onto my arm, stroking my face, as if trying to figure out whether I was skinny or not, and after touching my face for a long time, she frowned and said, “I’m getting skinnier, don’t you have anything good to eat during this period of time? Aiya, why do I keep on saying that you’re not listening to me?

Xiao Ruoyun had aged a lot in the past few years. Especially in the past few years, his hair had almost completely turned white and was dyed in the past. Now, as she could not see it clearly, she was too lazy to dye it.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen her, and she’s like this, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to say anything.

When I, Yumann Ting saw that I was not speaking, I thought that I was impatiently nagging at Xiao Ruoyun, so I immediately took her hand off my face and coaxed her softly: “Mom, Little Wei is not skinny, I’m watching her. She has just returned from a business trip, can you let her enter the house to rest first, then we can talk about other things?”

He was old, and did not even have bright ears. Xiao Ruoyun listened carefully for a while, and roughly heard what Yumann Ting had to say, and spoke a few words, but her hands refused to let go of me no matter what, and when Yumann Ting pushed him away, she grabbed onto my wrist again, and pulled me inside the house, as though she was afraid that I would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Yumann Ting looked at me helplessly, and took the luggage from my hands, allowing her to pull me along, I quietly followed behind her. She kept on muttering some words, saying that there were so many things she liked to eat at home, and I would definitely eat more later.

I didn’t say anything as I followed her silently. I couldn’t forgive her for so many years, and no matter how good she was to me, the things that happened at that time were like a scar on my heart. Even if our relationship had improved a lot in the past few years, but when we got along together, that layer of membrane couldn’t be removed no matter how hard I tried.

After reaching the living room, On Syouwa probably hasn’t come back yet. After the servant brought out a lot of food, Xiao Ruoyun kept stuffing it into my bowl, Yumann Ting knew that she couldn’t see, so she had to make less food. I knew how to eat, but Xiao Ruoyun still scolded her about how she didn’t know how much her heart ached for me, causing Yumann Ting to not know whether to laugh or cry.

Throughout the meal, I didn’t say much. I ate whatever she gave me. Even though there were some dishes that I didn’t really like, I didn’t pick them out and ate them one by one.

After eating for almost half an hour, On Syouwa’s car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. After he got out of the car, I put down my bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and called out to him who walked in: “Father.”

He glanced at me, then at the dishes on the table. Without even time for pleasantries, he said, “Come to the study. I have something to talk to you about.”

When Xiao Ruoyun heard this, she immediately replied: “The child hasn’t eaten yet!”

On Syouwa did not look at him, and walked straight towards the study room.

I think that he wanted to talk to me about the mine, so he didn’t waste any time and immediately followed behind On Syouwa.

We entered the study room one after another, just as the servant brought the tea in, On Syouwa ordered, “Close the door, and leave.”

At his command, the servant glanced at him and, not daring to delay any longer, immediately left the study, closing the door behind him.

When we were the only two people left in the study, On Syouwa didn’t even touch the teacups on the table, and directly said to me: “These few days, I have been thinking about the land. Since Treasure Lotus is unwilling to give in, then we can only agree.”

He pointed at me and said, “Since that’s the case, then fly to City Y tomorrow and talk to Treasure Lotus later.”

This land was especially tempting to On Syouwa, I did not think that he would actually agree to such a deal. This kind of deal caught me off guard and I did not even have the time to react before I could remind him, “Father, have you thought this through clearly? Treasure Lotus are buying us 6% of the shares, which is very dangerous for you, you … ”

He interrupted me and said, “I know this is indeed not good for me, but it is also good. What level is Treasure Lotus? If he wants to buy shares in our Yu’s, it means that our Yu’s has huge potential. If the news of us having such a large company residing in our Yu’s spreads, it would be a good thing for us. ”

He picked up the teacup on the table and said, “These few days, I have been thinking very clearly. Do you know what makes the most money right now? “Right now, building houses is just a small matter. Now, developing resources is the best way to make money.”

Hearing On Syouwa’s affirmation, I asked, “So you’ve decided?”

On Syouwa acknowledged and said: “Yes, so you must do this matter properly for me.”

I said: “The Treasure Lotus has said that they will help us by introducing us to Lu Pingfan.

This is a very sensitive issue. Although Treasure Lotus is to help us introduce them, in reality, Lu Pingfan still needs to build a good relationship with them. Only then will there be hope for this land in our hands.

When On Syouwa heard my words, he fell silent for a long while. He said, “How about this, tomorrow, bring an item with you. Remember to ask for his wife to come over as well for the Treasure Lotus.”

After saying that, he suddenly stood up and went to the safe. He took out a box and placed it on the table. I looked at him before reaching out my hand to open it. There was an incomparably large and resplendent pink diamond inside.

I looked up at On Syouwa in shock. I frowned and asked: “Isn’t this ceremony too precious?”

On Syouwa drank a mouthful of tea and then sneered: “This kind of person will only despise gifts being light, and won’t think it’s expensive. Only when something is worth a lot of money will they quickly do the job for you. If it’s not worth anything, do you still want others to help you? ”

As On Syouwa spoke till here, he warned again, “Be careful of the delivery, don’t let anyone find out.”

In regards to On Syouwa’s words, I did not immediately reply, and instead became silent.

He looked at me and slowly put down the teacup in his hand. He suddenly laughed and said, “I am your father, and I will never harm you. I know this kind of thing, and as long as you don’t tell me, no one else will know. So don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

He simply got up from his chair and walked over to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and said sincerely, “Dad misunderstood you a bit, but now it seems that you are the most capable out of all my children. Your big brother is not good. I am already so old, and the company will have to find a capable heir sooner or later. Your sister is still immature, after all, you are the only one who can help father with this. ”

He patted me on the shoulder and said, “Do your best, we have to settle this matter now. You should rest for a while and take your mother and elder sister on a trip to Bali. I heard that the weather there is pretty good right now.”

I struggled in my heart for a long time. My hand that was gripping the diamond box almost broke out into a cold sweat. After a long time, I said, “Alright. I will definitely settle this matter well. Dad, don’t worry.”

He suddenly asked, “Oh, right? Have you been taking any medicine recently? ”

“Not much,” I said.

He worriedly said, “You must remember to eat it on time. Ever since you ate those pills, you have become much better, so you must not break it.”

I said, “I know. Thank you for your concern.”

He nodded his head in satisfaction.

After On Syouwa left the study, I put away the diamond box in my hand. He walked out as if nothing had happened.

After that, On Syouwa was in a good mood, so he invited everyone to come back. He said that he wanted to have a reunion dinner with them, and he even specifically reminded me to invite Jorin Of Course to come along as well.

Since On Chenxi’s wedding, Jorin Of Course and I have not seen each other in a long time, let alone contacted each other. Right now, when Yu Family and the Qiao Family are in close contact, he has asked Jorin Of Course to come over, probably to maintain the relationship between us.

Adding on the fact that Xiao Ruoyun had been asking Jorin Of Course, I could only give him a call. Ask him if he has time to come back for dinner.

On Jorin Of Course’s side, the child’s crying and the woman’s coaxing voice could be heard. He said directly, “Do you really think that your Yu Family is the emperor’s? “If you want to invite me over, then invite me over. Don’t you see that I’m busy? I can’t come over.”

After he said that, he hung up the phone. The child’s crying also stopped abruptly. I stood there with my phone in my hand as usual. Looking at the street light outside, the servant walked over to remind me that the meal had started.

I then turned around and walked towards the dining hall. Yu Family was indeed bustling today. Even Du Fengqi, who kept yelling about having a headache, rarely came out today. On Chenxi had also returned, bringing her new husband, whom she had just married with her, so the two of them were naturally wedded with incomparable sweetness. They didn’t care about the people around them at all as they snuggled together and fed dessert to each other.

Seeing me walk over, On Syouwa asked: “How is it? When will Lin Ran come over? ”

I whispered, “He won’t be coming over. He’s busy.”

On Chenxi who was in the middle of preaching to dissuade them heard what was said, and immediately responded with a smile: “He does have something to do. He’s busy taking care of his son at his lover’s. ”

Xiao Ruoyun panicked. She immediately pushed the chair behind her away, narrowed her eyes and looked at me unsteadily: “What lover, what son, Little Wei, what’s going on?”

I used my eyes to gouge at On Chenxi. Seeing that, she became even more pleased and said to Xiao Ruoyun: “Little mother, you don’t know, you have been a happy grandmother for the past few days. “The woman brother-in-law was raising has a big fat boy. Don’t mention how happy he is right now, he seems to be preparing to carry the child back to the Qiao family in a month or two to show off his cards to Old Granny Qiao and the rest.”

But who knew that the moment On Chenxi finished speaking, the one who was angered was actually On Syouwa. He slapped the table and shouted loudly, “Bastard thing!”
