Extra: Huo Beiyan & Qin Jiaojiao (2)
A few years later.
Huo Beiyan officially took over the group and became the new generation of helmsman.
His decisive and swift actions and unfathomable scheming, coupled with his relationship with the man in Beijing, allowed him to quickly gain a foothold in the business world.
Over the years, many people have wanted to get close to the Huo family, and the socialites and daughters of wealthy families have pursued them again and again.
But Huo Beiyan stood like a mountain, motionless.
Huo family villa.
Mother Huo looked through the photos of the wealthy and famous ladies in Jincheng.
"Madam, I think Miss Lu is pretty good." Aunt Zhang sat next to Mrs. Huo and pointed at Lu Shiman's photo and spoke.
Mother Huo looked at Lu Shiman's photo and pondered for a moment: "The girl from the Lu family is good, but she has four older brothers. I'm afraid our Xiaoyan can't handle it."
"The Yun family..."
There was a noise coming from the entrance.
Huo Beiyan took off his coat and glanced at the sofa in the living room.
Mother Huo heard the noise and turned around. Seeing her son, she smiled and said, "Son, come quickly and see if there's anyone you like."
"Mom, if you're bored, I'll book a ticket for you, let's go have fun." Huo Beiyan glanced at the other person lightly, turned around and went upstairs.
"Tsk, if you don't choose, Mom will invite them to meet you one by one." Mother Huo rolled her eyes.
Huo Beiyan was silent for a moment: "I don't think the Huo family needs a marriage alliance."
"Marriage..." Huo's mother became interested: "Marriage first, love later, is also romantic, first get the person in, then slowly fall in love..."
Hearing her words, Huo Beiyan lowered his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Marry first, love later...
Circle people in...
It seems like a good idea.
Huo Beiyan stopped, turned around and walked to the single sofa opposite Huo's mother and sat down: "Mom, I think that a strong marriage is a good way to benefit the family."
Mother Huo raised her eyes and looked at Huo Beiyan as if she was looking at a fool.
"What's wrong with your brain? You just said you didn't need it, but now you need it."
Huo Beiyan was choked by his mother's merciless complaints, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
He coughed lightly and said, "Tomorrow, I will meet with the Qin family to discuss the marriage."
After saying that, he added: "I'll talk to you in person."
Mother Huo raised her eyebrows in surprise, her eyes full of inquiry and confusion: "Qin family?"
She looked at her son suspiciously: "When did you become interested in the Qin family?"
She clearly remembered that her son had always been lukewarm towards the aristocratic families in Jincheng.
Huo Beiyan didn't explain, but simply repeated: "Just make an appointment with the Qin family."
the next day.
The top floor of Huo Group.
President's Office.
The atmosphere was formal and solemn.
Qin's father and mother sat on the sofa with a perfectly respectful smile on their faces, but in their hearts they were very excited because Huo Beiyan took the initiative to propose a marriage.
This is a godsend opportunity to climb up the big tree of the Huo family.
Huo Beiyan sat behind his desk, his posture calm, his eyes sweeping calmly over the two people opposite him.
He didn't exchange many pleasantries and went straight to the point: "A marriage between the Huo and Qin families will benefit both sides."
Qin's father immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Mr. Huo is right. It is an honor for our Qin family to be able to marry into the Huo family."
He rubbed his hands and spoke tentatively: "My niece Fangfei is well-educated and good-looking..."
"Qin Jiaojiao." Huo Beiyan's low voice sounded clearly, interrupting Qin's father's words.
The smiles on Qin's father and mother's faces froze instantly.
The two of them looked at each other subconsciously, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Huo...what do you mean?" Mother Qin's voice was a little dry.
"The marriage partner is Qin Jiaojiao." Huo Beiyan leaned forward slightly, folded his hands on the table, and fixed his eyes on Qin's father: "Boss Qin, is there a problem?"
His tone was calm, but it carried an invisible, suffocating sense of oppression.
Fine beads of cold sweat oozed from Qin's father's forehead.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons.
Reject Huo Beiyan? He didn't dare, nor did he want to.
But if Qin Jiaojiao were to marry him, wouldn't all this wealth be too cheap for her?
His thoughts turned, and a smile quickly returned to his face: "No... no problem, of course no problem. Jiaojiao... it's her blessing to be favored by President Huo."
He gritted his teeth and agreed, but he had other plans in mind.
Huo Beiyan raised his eyelids and scanned the two of them with cold eyes: "Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin, Jiaojiao is your daughter. Don't ignore the flowers because of some weeds."
These words were obviously a warning, but they also told them that he knew their attitude towards Qin Jiaojiao.
Walk out of the Huo Group building.
The smiles on Qin's father and mother's faces instantly collapsed.
"What should we do?" Mother Qin lowered her voice, her tone filled with undisguised disgust and anxiety: "Are we really going to let that damn girl marry into the Huo family? Who the hell is she?"
Father Qin's face was gloomy: "She is unworthy, but now, openly, she is our daughter."
Mother Qin's face turned pale: "It was all your stupid idea back then."
"If I hadn't done this, do you think we would have these things now?" A sinister glint flashed in Qin's father's eyes: "Find a way to exchange it for Fang Fei."
The following days.
Qin's father 'ran into' Huo Beiyan at various business events, and kept hinting, "Mr. Huo, my daughter Jiaojiao has been wild since she was a child. I'm afraid she doesn't know the rules and has offended Mr. Huo..."
"My niece Fangfei has a gentle personality and knows how to take care of others..."
A private golf session.
Father Qin came to Huo Beiyan again and smiled: "Mr. Huo, what do you think about the marriage... Fangfei..."
Huo Beiyan was swinging the club to hit the ball, his movements smooth and graceful.
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed accurately in the hole.
He then slowly stood up, took the towel handed to him by his assistant, and wiped his hands slowly.
He didn't look at Qin's father, but cast his eyes on the distant hole. His voice was not loud, but it was cold: "Boss Qin, I only want Qin Jiaojiao."
He paused, and finally turned his head: "I don't want to say this for the third time."
The warning and pressure in his eyes made Qin's father feel like he was falling into an icy cave, with cold sweat on his back.
He didn't dare say another word.
Qin family villa.
Qin's father and mother called Qin Jiaojiao to the living room.
Mother Qin forced a smile on her face: "Jiaojiao, the Huo family is going to marry into our family."
Qin Jiaojiao was stunned and hadn't reacted yet.
Father Qin spoke next, his tone carrying a feeling of almsgiving: "Originally, the marriage partner was your cousin Fangfei, but Fangfei felt sorry for you and decided to give this opportunity to you."
Qin Jiaojiao frowned immediately: "Give it to me? I don't need it." She refused without hesitation.
She didn't know Huo Beiyan, and she didn't want to become a victim of family interests.
"You kid." Mother Qin pretended to be angry and said, "Dad and Mom are doing this for your own good. A family like the Huo family is so powerful that no one can ask for it. Although Huo Beiyan has a bad reputation, but..."
"I won't marry!" Qin Jiaojiao was firm.
Qin's father and mother looked at each other and stopped trying to persuade him.
They hadn't expected her to agree.
Plan to take the next step.
Qin Fangfei found Qin Jiaojiao privately and looked down at her with a haughty attitude, "Do you know why uncle and the others gave it to you?"
Qin Jiaojiao stared at her coldly: "Not interested."
Qin Fangfei snorted and laughed: "Because he is a pervert. Any woman who gets close to him will be covered in scars."
"Do you know the daughter of the Wang family who disappeared before?" Qin Fangfei lowered her voice: "She was sold because she got close to Huo Beiyan..."
"No one who gets close to him will have a good ending. I don't want to die, so I will naturally give this good opportunity to you, the legitimate daughter of the Qin family." Qin Fangfei turned and left.
Qin Jiaojiao's face turned pale little by little.
No, she has to escape. She doesn't want to marry a pervert.
Qin Jiaojiao went abroad overnight.
Huo Beiyan soon received the news that Qin Jiaojiao was going abroad.
The assistant stood in front of the desk and reported carefully.
Huo Beiyan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the city.
It was unclear what was going on on his face, but there were complicated emotions surging in his eyes.
There is disappointment and the coldness of rejection, but more of it is the expected clarity.
He was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "I understand."
The assistant hesitated: "Mr. Huo, we need to send someone..."
"No need." Huo Beiyan interrupted him, clicked on the photo of Qin Jiaojiao on his phone, and raised the corners of his mouth with a control-filled arc.
"Let her run, give her some time."
He is not in a hurry.
After waiting for so many years, I don’t mind waiting a little longer.
He has plenty of patience and means.
He believed that his little rose would eventually return to the greenhouse he had carefully prepared.
