C257 Favorite Marriage 190
Zhong Yuquan's face was a bit awkward. Xia Yihan couldn't bear it and stressed again: "I know you have me in your heart. Between father and daughter, there is not a single piece of clothing missing. You truly care for me from the bottom of your heart, I am truly happy. "
Hearing that, Zhong Yuquan stopped worrying about the clothes. He looked at Xia Yihan with a serious expression.
"I won't hide it from you, darling girl. Daddy just wants to sit in front of you properly now. If I can think about you, then I'll think about you a little more." Father has offended many people in the government for so many years. I don't know who I've offended recently, but they've brought my past to the center. Even though it was a false accusation, it was hard to say what had happened in the government. If I'm not careful, I might be sentenced to double punishment. At that time, Father might have to go to jail. Not to mention wanting to give you something, even if I look at you, my freedom will be restricted. "
Ye Zimo's expression remained the same. Inwardly, she was infuriated.
This was a matter between men. He had the nerve to sing a dirty trick in front of his daughter. How shameless!
If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried about his woman's feelings, he would most likely have sent her away with a dark face.
He was the head of the provincial trading union, which of them weren't afraid of him? Even Ye Zimo wasn't confident of defeating him. However, he felt that a man should have backbone. He would rather die standing up than live kneeling down. He did not want to deal with hypocrisy with him.
Xia Yihan frowned and unconsciously looked at Ye Zimo. Her gaze stayed on his calm face for a few seconds, then she looked back at her father and whispered, "Is there really such a thing? What are you going to do? I believe you must be an honest man, and have done nothing too much. You also said that it was a false accusation.
Xia Yihan was truly concerned about him. No matter what, he was her father. It didn't matter if his heart was real or fake. He could ignore her daughter. She could not ignore her father.
"It's hard to say if it's a big problem. However, dad is very gratified that you care so much about Dad's daughter. Don't worry, even if we really have to go to jail, it will still be father who owes you and your mother. Didn't you youngsters say that you have to return the favor? Father did deserve it, but he was a little unwilling. When I get old, I will end up in jail for the rest of my life. "
Zhong Yuquan heaved a long sigh. Xia Yihan noticed that his hair had already turned white.
Sitting in front of her, her biological father looked like a helpless old man when he sighed.
He was acting, and he thought she couldn't see it.
He had forgotten, she was an orphan. Growing up in Mo Family, her greatest ability was to observe expressions. If she didn't know this, how could she survive there?
When they were on the phone, she could not tell if he was real or fake from his voice alone. Actually, after a moment of analysis, she knew that he wouldn't be able to have feelings for her that quickly. His heart wasn't concerned about family.
She was only trying to deceive herself that her father had taken the initiative to show good will towards her. Of course it was because he loved her. How could you doubt his intentions?
When she served the food, he still gave her a fake smile, and she smiled back. She was happy, but she forced herself to be happy. How could she not be happy when her father was sitting across from her?
He did not like eating the food she cooked because he did not like eating the chili peppers. However, he would hide it, not because he loved it, but because he came for another purpose. It wasn't that she couldn't think of anything, it was that she didn't want to think of anything.
She thought that as long as he wanted to, even if he always treated her this way, as long as he smiled, she would treat him as if he was really happy, and she was happy, too, and she would continue to pretend.
When she saw the mink coat, all her camouflage had been almost flawed.
The obvious flaw was the one Zhong Yunchang wore to a party during the Spring Festival.
Xia Yihan was stunned, but she had already cried tears in her heart. She bitterly discovered that her father hadn't even intentionally brought clothes for her to wear when he had approached her with a purpose. Instead, he had casually given her a piece of clothing from his other daughter, Zhong Yunchang.
To Xia Yihan, love was so important, and she longed for it.
She really wanted to ask her father why. She wanted to ask him what was wrong with her, and why he couldn't even look at her when she was his blood relative.
But could she do that?
Her father had said that he had offended a political enemy and that someone had reported him. She didn't need to guess to know that he wasn't talking about a political enemy, but her beloved man, Ye Zimo.
If she showed even the slightest bit of displeasure, Ye Zimo would only fight even more fiercely with her father if she found out.
As an old man, he might not be a match for Ye Zimo. If he were to lose, all the accumulation of knowledge that he had accumulated over the years could vanish into nothingness. If he won, that possibility would not exist. After all, he was the head of the provincial business association and was the head of the province.
The focus of Fu Group was still on the East River. If they did not engage in a war with officials, it would get him anxious. He ordered the Fu Group to be sealed, and the result would be even worse.
From the looks of it, these two were already like fire and water. They were only disguising themselves in front of her. She was the bridge between the two of them. They were her closest friends, and she had to continue to be a good bridge.
Xia Yihan sighed endlessly in her heart, but she still maintained a smile on the surface. She said to her father in a soft voice, "Don't worry, we shouldn't go to jail. I'm your daughter and Ye Zimo is your son-in-law. He was so capable, how could he see that his father-in-law was in trouble, regardless? Mo, do you think so? You will help my father for me, right? "
Xia Yihan looked at Ye Zimo expectantly. He reached out his hand to caress her hair. His smile was very gentle, but he did not say a word.
Zhong Yuquan was waiting for Xia Yihan's words. Even though the mink coat wasn't given out, it was enough for Zhong Yuquan to achieve his goal.
"Mo, dad is already old. Please show some face. I don't want to see him in such a hurry over these things. I know you can help him if you want, right? "
Xia Yihan asked again, she really wanted to completely resolve the conflict between the two of them. Not just for her father, but for her man.
As the head of the provincial trading union, who didn't know President Zhong's way of doing things.
On the surface, he seemed to be good to everyone, but in reality, he didn't even acknowledge anyone. He didn't even care about her, his daughter. To him, what was Ye Zimo's son-in-law worth? He wouldn't care about Ye Zimo's face, which meant that if he did something wrong and it fell into his hands, it would be a huge disaster for Ye Zimo.
She loved him. She could not bear to see him in any danger.
President Zhong was also waiting for Ye Zimo to express her stance. He knew that everyone in Ye Family would keep their word and not go back on their word.
Even if he was trying to appease his woman, he would still keep his promise by forcing her to say that he wanted to help him.
Ye Zimo patted Xia Yihan's hands and said gently, "Don't worry. As long as I can help, I will." He's your father, how could I not care. Also, President Zhong had always been cautious and might overestimate the danger. You don't have to worry, he has been in the government for so many years. What have he not seen before? "However, I still need to discuss this matter with him alone. As for political matters, you don't understand either. Go back to your room and wait for me."
"This …" Xia Yihan was still a bit worried. Zhong Yuquan smiled at her and said, "Go ahead, I'm his father-in-law. We can chat alone, what's there to worry about?"
Xia Yihan stood up and saw Zhong Yuquan look at his watch. "Zimo, looks like we really need to talk faster. I still need to meet Soong Wanting later." 'This girl is in a hurry. I'm afraid she's too late! She can't wait to barge in here! '
Ye Zimo replied with an expressionless face, "Let's talk as soon as possible. We can't delay your business."
Xia Yihan walked out of the reception room into the corridor. She couldn't help but wonder why President Zhong mentioned Soong Wanting twice.
Could it be that Soong Wanting still had connections with Ye Zimo? Did he use this to threaten Ye Zimo and force her to submit?
No, she told herself, shaking her head. His father had no feelings for her and always wanted to deceive her, but Ye Zimo did not.
She could feel his sincerity at all times, and it couldn't be faked.
Just as she was thinking about this, Jiu Jiu walked over and greeted sweetly, "Young Madame Ye."
"You're not angry?" Xia Yihan asked with a smile.
Ever since Mo Xiaonong's incident last time, every time Jiu Jiu spoke to her, it was to show her subordinate's respect for his superior.
Xia Yihan had coaxed her twice, but she was still unhappy.
"Who's angry at you? How could I dare? You're Young Madame Ye, if you're unhappy, then I've already lost my job." Jiu Jiu pursed her lips, and Xia Yihan stepped forward to pinch her face. In a low voice, she said, "Why can't I tell what I am Young Madame? When you threw your face at me, you looked like Young Madame. I was your maid."
Jiu Jiu chuckled happily.
"I am Young Madame. I want to be Young Madame. Why don't you stab me?" Who dares to snatch a man from you, I think you've already become a tigress. "
"Fuck you, you're the tigress." Xia Yihan pulled Jiu Jiu along as they walked towards the main hall.
After making up with Jiu Jiu, some of the emotions that she had been suppressing in her heart seemed to have eased a little.
After all, Jiu Jiu had taken the initiative to express her goodwill, so she had to be happy about it.
After Xia Yihan left, Ye Zimo took out a cigarette and put it on the tea table in the small reception room. She didn't pass it to President Zhong.
It was just the two of them, and he didn't want to give him a good look.
President Zhong was someone who was capable of yielding. Without the presence of a third party, he wouldn't think about the issue of face.
He picked up his own cigarette and lit it himself. He glared at Ye Zimo, waiting for her to speak.
"You are truly despicable. She cares so much about you, her father. Yet, you are able to make use of this fact. You will be met with retribution." Ye Zimo lit up the cigarette, took two puffs and said harshly.
"You are the one who deserves retribution for speaking to your father-in-law like that." A cold light flashed across Zhong Yuquan's face as he said without any hesitation.
When he was with Xia Yihan, both of them were smiling the opposite way. At this moment, the two of them were like two lions that wanted to kill each other.
"My father-in-law is Chief of staff, Lee. Only the person who treats my woman as his daughter is worthy to be my father-in-law." Ye Zimo's words made Zhong Yuquan frown, and his face darkened. "Brat, aren't you afraid that I'll bring Soong Wanting here? I'm afraid you'll be crying when the time comes? "
Ye Zimo smiled elegantly at him, her expression unperturbed.
"You won't. If you will, Yihan would already know. You're just trying to scare me, trying to settle the matter with you. You can't threaten me, I'm not afraid. At most, Yihan knows. With her love for me and my protection of her heart, you should be able to guess that it won't have much of an impact on our relationship. I didn't want her to know, not that I didn't dare. I just didn't want her to worry about anything else. "No matter what, you are still her father. If you really want to make your daughter unhappy …"
Ye Zimo paused for a moment, narrowed her eyes, stared at Zhong Yuquan, and emphasized, "One day, you will live an even worse life."
"You want to scare me? You are too inexperienced. Don't forget, you're crafty, your father is quite straightforward. If you continue to play this sort of little trick with me, be careful that I let your father make you a pair of rules. " Zhong Yuquan also narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Zimo.
Who was he? He was the one who had come to think of him as a king. In the East River, who would dare to say a word of disapproval to him?
Now that he had been put into such a passive position by a junior, he couldn't even stand it anymore.
"If you dare touch my father, I will fight you to the death! I'm not afraid of death, and you're not afraid either? " Ye Zimofei looked at Zhong Yuquan with a look of oppression. Zhong Yuquan himself admitted that when he was his age, he was indeed no match for Ye Zimo.
The old fox sinisterly smiled, "At my age, what am I afraid of? It's already enough for me to earn money if I die. "But you, if you were to fall into Soong Shuhao's hands, you would jump out of the ground in anger!"
"You!" Ye Zimo clenched her fists as her eyes turned red.
How could he have thought that he would be so cruel as to threaten him with his own daughter?
Ye Zimo's fist cracked. He really wanted to smash it onto Zhong Yuquan's ghost-like face.
"Alright, young man. No matter what, I'm your father-in-law. Why would I want to make things so difficult for you?" You know what I want to do. Even if I'm going to destroy your marriage with Yihan, it's for our family's Yunchang. In the end, I still want to be your father-in-law. No matter what, the Zhong and Ye Families are in-laws, I won't easily deal with your father, unless you don't understand the situation. "
Ye Zimo took a deep breath to calm herself down.
The old fox said that he was going to deal with his father, and then he said that he was going to give Xia Yihan to Soong Shuhao.
He couldn't mess around. The battle had just begun, and once it got out of hand, he would not be able to negotiate conditions.
Ye Zimo's self-control was also extremely strong, and her monstrous anger was suppressed in an instant.
The two of them did not speak for a long time. Time passed slowly in the silence.
"Release Soong Wanting." In the end, Ye Zimo spoke first.
"What are you trading with me for?" Zhong Yuquan asked in a deep voice.
"If you let her go, I can make Jiang Cheng's chairman make a fresh confession, or I can also make sure that your matter no longer affects your future."
This was what Zhong Yuquan wanted, but he didn't show it on his face, nor did he show much interest in his conditions.
"If you promise me that you will let Soong Wanting go, that you will never use her again, that you will never again use her to make me and Lili unhappy, I can promise you that I will make a difference between Sofia and Lee Heetai. Don't think that just because I don't know your abacus, you want to enter the center? If Chief of staff, Lee speaks for you, your chances of winning will be much higher. At the same time, you must understand that your words are correct. No matter how much you wish for it, Yunchang will not listen to you. I can persuade her to do what you want. Of course, I won't be as despicable as you. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her. At least if I let her try, she will try. "
Zhong Yuquan was still silent, and Ye Zimo knew he was weighing things up, so he added, "Don't think I'm showing weakness to you. I can always get Soong Wanting back. Her greatest value to you is to destroy Yihan and me. I think you know better than anyone that I don't want to be with Zhong Yunchang, that I won't be with her. You let Soong Wanting go, Yihan and I, and I'll help you get Yunchang and Lee Heetai. You have two son-in-law, Lee Heetai and I, and for you, it's only good. "
Zhong Yuquan had to admit, the young man in front of him did see the situation clearly.
He was right. The best he could do was destroy Xia Yihan and himself. Furthermore, he had to do it perfectly in order to make Xia Yihan give up on Ye Zimo.
Ye Zimo's condition was very good. Not only could she solve the current crisis, but she also had the chance to marry Lee Heetai. To him, these two points were what he wanted the most.
Since they had already agreed on the terms, Ye Zimo was confident that she would win.
What he wanted was already simple. The old fox had picked up two son-in-law for no reason at all. He knew that there was no reason for the old fox to reject.
"There's probably no need to consider this, right? The people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection may not always be waiting.
As soon as Ye Zimo finished her sentence, before Zhong Yuquan could say a good word, Zhong Yuquan's phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from one of his subordinates. He didn't want to answer it in front of Ye Zimo, so instead, he called again.
He didn't dare to call again when Zhong Yuquan wasn't going to answer the phone.
"If you find it inconvenient, I can avoid it." He, Ye Zimo, would not have to eavesdrop on other people's calls to solve the problem.
Since he said so, Zhong Yuquan waved his hand and said with a deep tone, "There's nothing to avoid."
With that, he pressed the answer button, and an anxious voice transmitted over, "Guild Leader! Miss Zhong came to Soong Wanting's place, and she even brought someone with her to take her away. "
"What?" Zhong Yuquan frowned, while his voice was filled with anger.
"She's at the very front. She insisted on opening the door for us, otherwise we would have to use force. We are afraid of hurting Miss, so we didn't dare to touch her. What do you think? "
"Get Yunchang to answer my phone!" Lili did not avoid it. When Zhong Yuquan's subordinate handed her the phone, she called out, "Daddy!"
"My good daughter! "What do you mean?" Zhong Yuquan had never spoken to Zhong Yunchang like this in all his years.
