Chapter 45 Cooperation
When exiting the room, Ana Shen was suddenly frightened by a cold voice.
"Why do you ask him so many questions?"
Seeing Xia Menghua leaning against the door frame with her arms folded, expressionless, and the wrinkles on her face, Xia Menghua seemed extremely fierce at the moment.
Ana Shen’s heart was in her throat.
In other words, she was not mistaken just now, there was indeed a figure eavesdropping outside the door.
But I never expected it to be Xia Menghua.
Afraid of startling Mr. Huo who had just fallen asleep, Ana Shen gently locked the door before answering, "Nothing... nothing."
The sound was almost inaudible.
Xia Menghua glanced up and down and asked, "Since there is nothing, what are you afraid of?"
Of course I'm afraid of you.
Ana Shen moved her lips, but didn't dare to say anything.
"I advise you not to listen to what he said."
Ana Shen muttered in his heart, why are these two people like this?
Staying alone next to Xia Menghua, cold sweat broke out on his back.
She stammered, "Grandma, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Wait a moment."
"A-Is there anything else, grandma?" she asked anxiously.
Xia Menghua took out a few photos from behind and handed them to her. They were intimate photos of Huo Yunting and He Xiaowen.
The edges are a little yellow, and it looks like it was taken many years ago.
"Grandma, this is..."
"Can't you see? Yun Ting and Xiao Wen are a perfect match."
Shen Nanxing knew that Xia Menghua had always been a loyal fan of both of them, so was she using these things to embarrass her and make her give up?
It seemed that she had misunderstood, and she had long since stopped wanting to get entangled with Huo Yunting.
Ana Shen nodded seriously, “I can see that. So don’t worry, grandma, I no longer have any illusions about your grandson.”
Ana Shen’s graceful turn made Xia Menghua stunned.
This is not right.
It wasn't what she expected.
Shouldn't she be crying and making a fuss?
"stop!"
Xia Menghua coldly called out to Shen Nanxing who was about to leave.
Ana Shen stopped and was still very polite, "Grandma, is there anything else?"
Xia Menghua's piercing eyes made Shen Nanxing panic.
"So you don't love Yun Ting anymore?"
It was the first time that Ana Shen heard such a straightforward question, and she didn't know what she meant.
"In that case, why don't you get a divorce?"
This question made her, a daughter of the Xia family, feel trapped and dying in the Huo family. Moreover, how could someone like her, who had no power, no background, and no family, compete with Huo Yunting?
But Shen Nanxing didn't dare to say that. Just as she was thinking about how to deal with it, Xia Menghua's voice came again.
Judging from her expression, she seemed to have thought of something.
"Help me get 'Pink Love', and I'll help you divorce Yun Ting as you wish."
"What?" Shen Nanxing was surprised.
She didn't expect that an old lady who hated her would be willing to help her.
Is there any conspiracy here?
Xia Menghua raised her noble chin slightly to dispel Shen Nanxing’s concerns, “Don’t think I’m helping you, I’m just fulfilling Xiaowen’s wish!”
It turned out that it was to help He Xiaowen marry into the Huo family smoothly.
She handed Ana Shen a black and gold post, “This is the admission ticket.”
Ana Shen didn't pick it up immediately, but she gently let go and let the ticket fall to the ground.
The expression on his face seemed to be certain that Ana Shen would pick it up.
Compared to Mr. Huo, Ana Shen finally realized how difficult Mrs. Huo was to serve. For a moment, she suddenly sympathized with the old man.
Shen Nanxing doesn't like Xia Menghua's arrogance. Although she is old, it doesn't mean that she can take advantage of her age.
Moreover, she was the old lady Huo from the Huo family, the richest family in Jiangcheng. She was of noble status. How could she not get what she wanted? Did she need someone she hated to do it for her?
Unless she doesn't want others to know.
Especially Mr. Huo.
So we can’t spend the Huo family’s money.
Then why not let her beloved He Xiaowen do it? After all, she is also a real rich person.
Even He Xiaowen couldn't be trusted. There must be a very important reason for this, so it had to go through her, an "outsider" who was not recognized by the Huo family.
Shen Nanxing quickly realized that he was of great use to Mrs. Huo.
But she did not say anything, but picked up the ticket humbly.
Xia Menghua curled the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw this.
"Grandma said it's all about love..."
She was corrected before she could finish her words.
Xia Menghua's voice was very heavy, "Pink Love! It's a necklace."
Ana Shen's hand instantly clenched the black and gold card. Could it be related to the auction again?
There was some important information marked on the ticket. When she looked down, it was just as she thought.
"Remember, every precious item has its own name. The necklace is called 'Pink Love'!" The voice brooked no room for argument.
Ana Shen noticed that Xia Menghua's expression was a little solemn, and she didn't know if it was because she had said the wrong name of the necklace or because of something else.
It was also from Xia Menghua that I learned that the necklace her grandfather gave her had a nice name.
"But grandma, if you want that jewelry necklace, you can go to the auction yourself. Who would dare to compete with you for Mrs. Huo's status?"
Xia Menghua's eyes were cloudy and hard to read.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ana Shen knew the difficulty of telling this matter, "But I don't have any money."
This is putting her in a difficult position.
Her current monthly salary, after deducting rent and transportation, barely covers her food. How could she afford to buy these unrealistic things of the rich?
Xia Menghua scoffed, "Don't you still have an old lover? I heard he still has feelings for you."
Now Shen Nanxing understood her plan.
A "perfect plan" that would not alarm the Huo family, but would also allow Huo Yunting to enjoy the green grassland above his head, and might even divorce her in anger.
It turns out that he was risking his life by jumping into Huo Yunting's minefield.
Just when Shen Nanxing was hesitating, Xia Menghua started to win over his heart.
"You don't love Yun Ting anyway, and Yun Ting doesn't have you in his heart. Why bother following my plan? Even if Yun Ting is unwilling to divorce you to protect the reputation of the Huo family, I promise you that I will give you a divorce agreement as an elder. Besides, compared to a huge breakup fee and a necklace, you still make a profit." Xia Menghua threatened and lured, her voice gradually lengthening, "But the premise is..."
Xia Menghua's words suddenly stopped. She stared into Shen Nanxing's eyes and explained word by word, "Our cooperation cannot be known to anyone."
Ana Shen gritted her teeth, Xia Menghua's cake really made her heart beat.
But if any accident happens, she will be pushed to the forefront, while Xia Menghua, who made the plan, will not be affected at all.
From this point of view, Xia Menghua is not a good person.
But Huo Yunting is now dragging his feet on divorcing her, making it impossible for her to implement her future plans, which is really annoying.
After careful consideration, Ana Shen agreed.
"good!"
Xia Menghua smiled slightly, and the white eye mask well concealed the calculation revealed in her eyes.
