Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Chapter 375: Not easy to deal with (1)

“Other than entertainment and dining, real estate is also an important income for Sheng Huang. Businesses like resorts, if it can attract a lot of customers, would also bring significant profits; if it can’t attract customers, all the injected money would go down the drain. But obviously, you are the former, Ms Zhao. I believe that with your capability, you surely will not let all my money go to waste.”

Han Yichen declared his stance on this matter with just a few words.

The smile on Zhao Youlin’s face faded slightly. Her gaze on Han Yichen became more inquisitive. “Why do you…want to help me?”

She and Han Yichen had only met each other a few times. She and Han Yichen did not know each other very well at all.

Was it because she reluctantly took him in, back when they first met, instead of just kicking him out? But Sheng Shi’s bankruptcy was a scheme, Han Yichen’s down-and-out status was just a pretense. She only did him a small favor, it was no big deal at all.

She was afraid that the only thing that could be used to get close to Han Yichen was just the blood ties between them, but the point was Han Yichen probably did not know about it yet.

If so, why would Han Yichen want to help her?

Today, Han Yichen claimed that his purpose was to cooperate with Zhao Enterprise, but everything he said was related to her, especially that sentence that said “I believe in your capability, Ms. Zhao”. He believed in her capability, not Zhao Enterprise’s capability. His intention of establishing favorites could not be more obvious!

When Han Yichen heard Zhao Youlin’s question, his eyes flickered slightly, but there was no difference in his expression. “Ms. Zhao, your ability is obvious to all. Investing in a potential stock can often yield more returns than one might think. Moreover, before this, I have also received a lot of help from you, Ms. Zhao.”

“Help?” Zhao Youlin did not think so, “If you are talking about how I let you stay at my store and gave you a shelter for a few months, then I really cannot take that credit, President Han. After all, to think about it, it was quite rare to be able to hire a person like you to be a handyman in my store, President Han.”

“Pfft …” Before Zhao Youlin could finish, Nie Yunfan, who was standing on the side, burst out in laughter. He put one hand on Han Yichen’s shoulder and did not attempt to hide his feeling of schadenfreude. “Handyman? Chen, so in the past few months when you were missing, you had actually become a handyman in other people’s store. If word gets out, people may misunderstand that Sheng Huang is going bankrupt like Sheng Shi!”

Han Yichen’s expression darkened at his word. “If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute.”

Nie Yunfan could not say anything to retort. Although he said nothing more, the way he looked at Han Yichen now carried a few hints of ridicule.

Han Yichen swept a cold glance at him and did not continue to pursue the matter. He said in a deep voice, “You taking me in was one of the reasons, of course, but I have another main reason, it’s because of… An Yue.”

If Zhao Youlin had not given An Yue and her sister a chance when they were repeatedly turned away by others and at the end of their tether, they might have ended up in some other nook and cranny in the world and would never have met him.

If Zhao Youlin had not agreed to let him stay after An Yue picked him up from somewhere, in spite of not knowing his background, he would not have been able to stay in Zhao Youlin’s store for so long, which had allowed him to avoid the eyes and ears, while creating opportunities for him and An Yue to spend time alone.

Regardless of Zhao Youlin’s intentions, from all aspects, she could have been considered a matchmaker for him and An Yue.

What’s more, during the months he stayed in Zhao Youlin’s store, Han Yichen had already seen that although Zhao Youlin did not go to the store often, those people inside the store were very close to her, especially An Yue and her sister, who simply treated her as a family, which obviously showed that Zhao Youlin had been good to them.

For the sake of this, for the sake of the person he loved cared about Zhao Youlin, now that she had some trouble, it was only right for him to help her out. Besides, frankly speaking, it was not just a favor, it was mutually beneficial for both parties.

He was a businessman. He had no reason to let go of the profits in front of him.

Zhao Youlin listened to Han Yichen’s explanation, her eyes flickered slightly. She teased, “Oh? In that case, can I consider this cooperation between Zhao Enterprise and Sheng Huang as a betrothal gift from you to An Yue?”

Han Yichen was a little stunned. A trace of different expressions finally appeared on his cold face.

But he quickly covered it up and said with a hesitant expression, “Has she…been well lately?”

They both knew who the ‘she’ he was talking about was. Zhao Youlin studied Han Yichen. Although Han Yichen’s face was calm, she still saw a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Her heart was mixed with sadness and joy. She felt joy because this guy really liked An Yue, he was afraid someone else would snatch his wife away when he was gone; the sadness was in his heart, the entire Zhao family was probably not as important as An Yue.

Staring at Han Yichen’s poker face that was hiding his feelings, Zhao Youlin suddenly felt like teasing him. She wanted to see another different expression on his face.

Zhao Youlin lightly coughed. It was like she suddenly remembered something, and she cast a sympathetic glance at Han Yichen. “She? You mean An Yue? She has been doing well, but…”

“What?”

“But it seems that a nice rich boy has taken a fancy on her lately. He keeps giving her flowers and jewelry. And he keeps inviting her to have dinner together and so on.”

As Zhao Youlin expected, Han Yichen’s face darkened instantly upon hearing she said that. The atmosphere inside the office suddenly changed.

Even Nie Yunfan, who was standing beside Han Yichen, was affected, despite having said nothing. He took a few steps back in fear following the sudden emergence of strong hostility from someone. His beautiful foxlike eyes narrowed slightly, filling with a trace of interest.

However, Zhao Youlin was not affected by Han Yichen’s fury at all, as she continued to add fuel to fire. “Although it seems like An Yue has already had someone she likes, it is a one-sided love after all. Now that she is being courted by such a wealthy, considerate, and handsome man, any girl would have fallen for him. I think…”

Before Zhao Youlin could finish, Han Yichen’s furious voice that had a hint of a possible outburst of rage had already come from the side. ” Who said it is a one-sided love?”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows and smiled. “You did not even confess your love to her. What is it if it’s not one-sided love?”

Han Yichen’s face was as gloomy as night. The way he looked at Zhao Youlin was murderous. “You did not tell her my message?”

“What message?” Oh, you mean the message of asking her to wait for you? Why should I tell her? President Han, when it comes to relationships, no one is superior to the other, and no one has the obligation to wait for the love that might just be a dream. Relationships are never a one-person affair, but it requires two people to work together.”
