Ruan Ziqian's steps suddenly softened and she fell to the ground.
Who knew this old man would do this?
Then wouldn’t the scene I just performed be in vain?
Ruan Ziqian cursed herself fiercely in her heart, calling herself shameful.
Then she saw Mr. Huo looking at her with great confusion, "Who is this little girl? Why haven't I heard you mention her before?"
"I don't know about that. We just bumped into each other and came here together. She said she was looking for you, old man. Could she be some illegitimate daughter you left behind?"
Duan Yuchen held his chin with his hand and joked without any scruples.
"If I dare to have an illegitimate daughter, the old woman will probably crawl out of the ground and beat me to death." The old man muttered.
"I'm Ruan Ziqian."
Ruan Ziqian lowered her head as she introduced herself, emphasizing her last name deliberately.
"Hmm?" The old man suddenly stopped what he was doing, and then his sharp eyes fell on the girl.
Makes your hands and feet cold.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Ruan Ziqian was under tremendous pressure, fearing that the old man would do the same as the previous families and throw her out in the next second.
Or just accept the old man's difficulties.
As a result, the old man reached out and rubbed his chin.
After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Xiao Qian, they say girls change a lot when they grow up... But I feel like you've changed a lot. You're not as cute as before."
Mr. Huo felt that what he said was very tactful.
When he was a child, he looked so soft and fluffy that people liked him at first sight.
In order to prevent people from other families from taking the lead, he directly arranged a marriage for his own descendants.
Although it was all a verbal agreement.
But I didn't expect that the girl would stand in front of me again today.
Mr. Huo still felt hit.
Ruan Ziqian: ...
Are you being polite?
You have taken all the giant panda's bamboo shoots.
Isn't this the time to ask about the younger generation's well-being? Shouldn't we be like the aunts and uncles during Chinese New Year and ask, "Wow, have you grown taller?"
What's the matter with not being as cute as before?
Ruan Ziqian's originally heavy mood was completely exhausted in an instant.
"What's the matter with you coming here this time? Has anything happened to your family recently?" The old man asked her as he looked up.
Ruan Ziqian nodded with some difficulty.
Then he told the whole story of what had happened.
"I knew your relative wasn't a good bastard. But your father, out of some brotherly love, made your mother and you suffer every day. Now, look what you think. Your whole family is suffering with you. What a sin."
As Mr. Huo spoke, he looked up at the girl in front of him. He knew that her life was extremely difficult, and he was particularly tolerant of girls. So he asked with a smile, "Okay, what do you want to see me about this time? If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
"I want to cancel the engagement." Ruan Ziqian hesitated for a while, then said.
"I remember when my parents got engaged, they seemed to have set aside some money for a dowry... but I don't know where it is. And I need the money urgently now."
Ruan Ziqian said this.
Duan Yuchen cheered in his heart, as he was just about to propose to cancel the engagement.
Now the other party is willing to take the initiative to terminate it.
That would be great, of course.
"I don't know about the dowry, because your parents prepared these things when you got engaged. Of course, there's no problem with breaking off the engagement. After all, you two don't know each other, and I don't think it would be easy for you two to fall in love."
Mr. Huo is very open-minded.
It’s not because I dislike Ruan Ziqian for not looking as pretty as before.
Ruan Ziqian originally planned to rely on this funding to make a comeback.
But when he heard these words, his face suddenly turned pale.
"I was planning to use that money to rebuild the company..." Ruan Ziqian suddenly fell to the ground.
Mr. Huo walked over with great distress.
"My dear, I'm sorry for what happened to your family. But now that things have come to this, you have no choice but to be strong. Grandpa doesn't have much money, but he can help you."
The old man said as he helped the person sit down beside him.
Ruan Ziqian's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Mr. Huo is such a good man.
Ruan Ziqian held the two fake checks tightly in her hand.
Then some of them burst into tears.
"How much money do you need to borrow?" Mr. Huo asked, then waved his hand for the butler to come over.
Ruan Ziqian paused.
She originally thought that based on the old man's personality, he would directly sponsor her some money.
But nothing comes for free.
Ruan Ziqian also knows this truth very well, and it is already good that there is someone willing to help her now.
"It will probably cost one million..." Ruan Ziqian said a number timidly.
This house is so grand that one million shouldn't be a problem.
She can use this as start-up capital when the time comes.
Then the old man was extremely straightforward.
He pulled out another check from his bag.
He filled in the amount and handed it over. "In that case, we can sign the contract right now. I remember the bank's profit margin for lending money is 21%. Since we are friends, you can just give me 10% of this profit. I can support you in borrowing again, or repaying the loan in installments. I'm a good person, no need to thank me."
Mr. Huo said as he handed over the check.
As long as the other party is willing to sign her name, the check will be hers.
Ruan Ziqian suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
Then he looked at the young man sitting next to him, drinking juice with a straw very comfortably.
Then he looked at the old man, who was wearing sunglasses, lying on a recliner, holding a glass of red wine and drinking with a straw.
The way I signed my name at this moment felt just like I had just sold myself.
And it was sold twice in one day.
Ruan Ziqian was strangely silent.
Why does she feel that her company has not been established yet?
But the future profits have already been divided up by others.
Unfortunately, I am the only one who suffers.
Ruan Ziqian doesn't feel the joy of making money at all now.
There is even a sense of the miserable life of a working man.
But it's better than no help at all.
Ruan Ziqian was silent for a moment, then gritted her teeth and signed her name.
Isn’t it just profit?
If she had this money, it would definitely not be a problem for her to start a business.
