There Will Be a Price to Pay

A strong sense of interest rose in Su Hua's beautiful eyes. "Like what?"

A security guard was quite close to them. Even though they kept their voices down, the guard had good hearing and managed to catch their words.

A look of curiosity appeared on his face. Like what?

"Like..."

Lin Xuan leaned close to Su Hua's ear and whispered a few words.

Su Hua curled her lips into a smile. "Alright, I'll listen to my little bed slave."

Lin Xuan held Su Hua's hand, and they left the hotel.

The security guard lying on the ground: "..."

Like what? Why couldn't they be a bit clearer?

Didn't they know curiosity killed the cat?

Oh, his damn curiosity.

Chairman Chen watched their retreating figures, feeling a bit of disbelief. "Secretary Jiang, is it resolved just like that?"

"That's right."

Jiang Qing nodded. "It is resolved. However, from what I can see, for Young Master Lin to coax Boss Su away so quickly, he probably has to pay quite a price."

"What price?" Chairman Chen asked curiously.

Jiang Qing glanced at Chairman Chen. "As for this, I think it's better if Chairman Chen doesn't ask. Don't you agree?"

This price, naturally, was a price paid in bed.

But was this something that could be told to outsiders?

Chairman Chen nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. I shouldn't be asking."

"Chairman Chen, Young Master Lin has coaxed Boss Su into a good mood, so Boss Su probably won't make things difficult for you regarding this incident," Jiang Qing said. "However, the cooperation between Weihai Group and Su Group probably won't be able to proceed."

"I know." Chairman Chen nodded and said, "It's already good enough that Boss Su isn't punishing me. How could I dare to extravagantly hope for cooperation with the Su Group?"

Chairman Chen felt endless regret in his heart.

He shouldn't have been greedy, wanting to become relatives with Boss Su so that Boss Su could become his big backer.

Now look what happened.

His nephew was beaten half to death, and the opportunity to cooperate with the Su Group that he had worked so hard to get was also gone.

"As for the remaining mess, Chairman Chen, you can clean it up yourself."

Jiang Qing walked up to the security guards.

She said coldly, "Remember, you are not allowed to say a single word about what happened today. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Yes, yes, yes." The security guards nodded hastily.

One look and they knew that woman was incredibly wealthy and powerful. Even Chairman Chen was afraid of her. How could they dare to provoke such a big shot?

Jiang Qing also left the hotel.

A security guard who could barely stand held onto the railing and walked up to Chairman Chen. "Chairman Chen, we got beaten up like this, you can't just wash your hands of this."

Chairman Chen looked at the security guards lying all over the ground and felt a bit guilty.

He didn't know that Boss Su's combat power was so high, nor did he know she was so ruthless.

Chairman Chen spoke up, "How about this, I will cover all your medical expenses and lost wages. Also, I will give each of you an extra two hundred thousand as compensation."

Upon hearing his words, the security guards suddenly felt like their wounds didn't hurt anymore.

"Thank you, Chairman Chen." The security guards all smiled.

Chairman Chen then walked over to his nephew. "Xiao Wei, I am truly sorry. I also didn't know that Boss Su completely kept all men at a distance."

"No, I should say, it's not that she keeps all men at a distance, but rather, she doesn't allow any man other than her boyfriend to touch her."

"Also, Boss Su was truly terrifying just now. I didn't dare to step forward at all and could only watch helplessly as you got beaten."

Chairman Chen's heart was filled with guilt.

Chen Wei grabbed Chairman Chen's hand. "Uncle, I will never like Boss Su again. You don't need to create any more opportunities for me to get close to Boss Su."

"Also, I want to find a girl who is a bit gentler and doesn't know martial arts."

He absolutely, positively did not want to find a female demon with super high combat power like Boss Su.

He didn't want to suffer domestic violence.

Chairman Chen said, "Actually, Boss Su is also quite gentle, but it depends on who she is facing."

Boss Su was entirely devoted to one man. As for other men, she stayed as far away from them as possible.

If Lin Xuan also truly liked Boss Su, they would probably be a very happy couple.

Feng Group.

Feng's Father came to Feng Yaya's office. Looking at his daughter now, he still found it a bit hard to believe.

This daughter of his used to be very depressed, had low self-esteem, and was also very fat.

Especially after what happened with Lin Li at the wedding, he had thought his daughter would never recover from the setback.

He didn't expect that over the past year or so, she had actively exercised and lost weight, completely transforming into a different person.

In the past, she never liked coming to the company and was solely focused on messing around with music.

Now, she actually took the initiative to come to the company to help.

"Yaya, have you been adjusting well at the company lately?" Feng's Father asked affectionately.

Feng Yaya smiled and replied, "Dad, everything is going quite well."

"That's good." Feng's Father felt relieved. He nodded and said, "Yaya, if you have any problems at work in the future, don't hesitate to come to Dad."

"Dad," Feng Yaya spoke up, "in a few days, are we going to participate in the Tianmu Group's bidding?"

"That's right." Feng's Father nodded.

Actually, if this Tianmu Group project were with any other company, he wouldn't value it so much. However, Tianmu Group had already become an enterprise second only to the Su Group in the entire Great Xia. They wanted to use this cooperation to draw closer to the Tianmu Group.

"Dad, can you let me be in charge of this project?"

"Also," Feng Yaya continued, "after the bidding is over, if our company can win this bid, can you let me handle the negotiations with Tianmu Group?"

"Yaya." Feng's Father frowned. "Are you still thinking about being with Lin Xuan?"

"Yes." Feng Yaya nodded. "My weight loss over the past year or so has been entirely so that I can appear before Lin Xuan in my best form."

"Dad, the main reason I was with Lin Li before was that he pretended to have saved me and didn't look at me with weird eyes. I mistakenly thought I had fallen for him."

"It wasn't until I saw Lin Xuan at that wedding that I finally knew what it felt like to like someone."

Liking someone meant your heart fluttering at the very first glance.

Just one look from him could make her feel happy, and it made her think of him all the time.

During the time she was dating Lin Li, she had never felt this way at all.

Feng's Father frowned deeply. "But, Yaya, I heard that Lin Xuan has a girlfriend."

"Dad, don't worry, he shouldn't have a girlfriend," Feng Yaya said. "If he had a girlfriend, then why hasn't there been any news about her on the internet for so long?"

"I'm guessing that the rumor about Lin Xuan having a girlfriend was deliberately released by him, just to keep those women from getting close to him."

Speaking of this, Feng Yaya felt even more moved by Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was so outstanding, there were definitely many women flocking around him, yet he was still able to keep himself clean.

If she could be with him, she believed she would definitely be happy.

"Makes sense." Feng's Father nodded.

However...

"Yaya, what if? What if he actually has a girlfriend?" Feng's Father said with a frown.
