12 years ago, the third young miss of the Su family was disfigured by a fire. Her parents, deeming her ill-fated, drove her out of the house.
12 years later, she became a sacrifice for a fami...
Chapter 2335: Each Takes What They Need
Xiao Hanlu had known Huo Senze before, but she only knew that there was such a person in the world.
They were not familiar with each other and did not have each other's contact information. Xiao Hanlu did not want to ask Brother Ling Feng for Huo Senze's phone number as it would be too troublesome to explain.
So he went straight to the company, parked his car next to Huo Senze's car, and waited for him to get off work.
It’s not that I can’t go directly to him upstairs, but I feel that waiting for him in the basement is more private.
Huo Senze came to pick up his car after get off work. Xiao Hanlu saw him from a distance and stood by his car door waiting.
The car lights flashed twice and the door lock opened. Huo Senze also came to the side of the car and saw Xiao Hanlu waiting for him. A hint of surprise appeared on his face. He looked around and stared at Xiao Hanlu's eyes for a moment.
"Miss Xiao, are you waiting for me?"
Xiao Hanlu nodded: "I have something to discuss with you."
He was a smart man, and probably guessed that the matter was important. He nodded and helped her open the car door. "Then let's get in the car and talk."
The two sat in the car and talked for about an hour.
Xiao Hanlu told Huo Senze frankly about her situation and thoughts.
She has no autonomy in her marriage, and now her father wants her to become the daughter-in-law of the Huo family. As long as she does that, he can let her boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend, go.
Although it was very abrupt, she did come to discuss their marriage with Huo Senze.
Huo Senze laughed: "After you said all this, you still expect me to marry you? You expect me to like you?"
"It's because I don't expect you to like me, nor do I need you to like me, that I'm telling you the truth. Because I know you can't make the decision in your marriage. And you also have someone you want but can't get, so it's a good fit for us to be together."
Huo Senze smiled bitterly: "It seems that you have investigated everything clearly."
“It’s just a matter of knowing yourself and knowing your enemy.”
"If you want to be the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, I can introduce my brother to you. He will be discharged next year. As long as you don't tell him that you want to take advantage of him, he should like you."
Xiao Hanlu frowned unhappily, "Which one is mine?"
"The girls he's liked are all beauties like you."
His words made Xiao Hanlu angry, but not too angry, so she said indifferently: "Thank you, but it has to be you."
"Why do you have a special liking for me?" He said, narrowing his eyes. "Hush, you are not really in love with me, deliberately finding this excuse to pursue me?"
Xiao Hanlu glanced at him speechlessly, "You're worrying too much, because you're the vice president of Chu Corporation, and Brother Lingfeng is your love rival, my father..."
Before she finished speaking, Huo Senze suddenly understood and said that now he understood that Mr. Xiao couldn't follow Chu Lingfeng's path, so he wanted to use him, the vice president, to get Chu's!
Xiao Hanlu was surprised that he could understand the relationship so clearly, but also a little worried.
The more he knew, the more Brother Lingfeng had told him, and it also meant that he and Brother Lingfeng trusted each other.
Now that he knew that Mr. Xiao wanted to use him, he would definitely not agree to Xiao Hanlu's suggestion and betray the Chu family.
But what Xiao Hanlu didn't expect was that Huo Senze asked her in return: "Do you hope your father will succeed?"
She was silent for a few seconds and shook her head.
In pursuit of power and money, his father did too many things that Xiao Hanlu found difficult to accept.
The reason why my father trained Brother Ling Feng was actually to get the Chu family.
So if she had to choose a side, she would choose her brother.
Seeing her shaking her head, Huo Senze immediately said, "Then don't say anything. I've done you a favor."
Xiao Hanlu didn't understand, and Huo Senze explained that he didn't want Xiao Chongyang to take over the Chu Group either.
The reason is very simple. If Xiao Chongyang succeeds, Chu Lingfeng will fail. If Chu Lingfeng fails, Mu Ying will be sad.
By having him act as the spy, he can ensure that Mr. Xiao's plan will fail.
"You are really infatuated." Xiao Hanlu said.
"Aren't you the same?"
Xiao Hanlu was speechless. Indeed, they were both people who exchanged their marriage for each other's happiness. Thinking about it this way, she felt that she was quite great, but her greatness was helpless.
She pondered for two seconds and asked Huo Senze again: "Marriage is not a joke. Did you think it over carefully before answering? I don't want you to impulsively agree to help me and then regret it later."
Huo Senze said he had no regrets, and he really wanted to marry a woman like Xiao Hanlu who was clear-headed, who would not bother him, and who did not need his emotional investment.
Right now they are solving each other's problems.
Even if we take a step back, Xiao Hanlu is beautiful and has a good figure. It would be pleasing to the eye and worth it to marry a beautiful woman home.
Xiao Hanlu laughed and said, "I think Mr. Huo is the one who really knows what's going on."
In short, after weighing the pros and cons, the two of them happily reached an agreement.
They decided to have a loveless relationship, and if necessary, a loveless marriage, to use each other and get what they wanted.
Huo Senze took Xiao Hanlu to meet his parents and grandfather. His grandfather had nothing to say. Even if he wanted him to marry the granddaughter of his old comrade-in-arms, he would not break up a couple. He could only sigh that everything was fate.
Huo Senze's father had no opinion about Xiao Hanlu, but he had some complaints about Xiao Chongyang. He reminded his son that it was okay to be the son-in-law of the Xiao family, but he should not learn to be a person like Xiao Chongyang, and even more so, he should not imitate Xiao Chongyang's way of doing things.
If Huo Senze dared to do anything that would damage the family's honor, he, as a father, would be the first to stand up and sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice.
Mrs. Huo doesn't understand the affairs of the officialdom or business world. She only cares about her son's happiness.
There is nothing to fault with Xiao Hanlu. She is beautiful, talented, well-mannered, and well-mannered. Moreover, Huo's mother admires independent working women very much. Because she herself is a housewife, she envies the kind of person she has not become.
Xiao Hanlu meets the requirements perfectly.
Afterwards, Xiao Hanlu also brought Huo Senze home to meet her father Xiao Chongyang. Xiao Chongyang was of course very satisfied, but he was not without suspicion. He asked Uncle Wei to test her attitude in private. Uncle Wei asked her why she was not stubborn this time. Didn’t she refuse to marry anyone before and just set her sights on Si Nan?
Xiao Hanlu smiled shyly and said that she had no feelings for Huo Senze at first, but after getting to know him, she found him quite interesting and she could chat with him easily.
And she knew that she had to listen to her father's decision about her marriage. Since she couldn't decide her own marriage, she had ten thousand reasons to marry Huo Senze rather than marrying an old man.
Uncle Wei thought she was very sensible and that she was right to think this way, but he was also worried that she felt wronged.
She told Uncle Wei that she was ignorant before and always felt very aggrieved that she could not make her own decision on matters such as marriage. But now she understood that if her father had not adopted her, she would be nothing now.
She should know how to cherish and be grateful.
After hearing her nice words, Uncle Wei nodded with satisfaction.
