Hu Ke and Xu Qing were sitting opposite each other in one of the private rooms. The tea placed in front of them was steaming. The two sisters who were once very close now seemed a little less friendly because of the affairs of the Haotian Group and the Xu Group. Even when we are intimate, there is always a feeling of unfamiliarity when talking.
Xu Qing picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip, smiled faintly, and said: "Ke'er, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You invited me over today, not just to have a chat with me." Xu Qing's Her expressions were very calm. After so many years apart, they didn't know whether the other person was still her before, so it was inevitable that their words would be a bit unfamiliar.
Taking a deep breath, Hu Ke said: "Qingqing, the Haotian Group's acquisition of the Xu Group was decided by the higher authorities. Moreover, I didn't know that the Xu Group belonged to your family before. If I knew, I wouldn't I’ll agree, I’m sorry.”
Smiling slightly, Xu Qing said: "You didn't just tell me this, haha, I didn't care. Mergers between companies in shopping malls are very common. I won't blame you." Yours, you don’t need to feel any guilt, everyone is their own master, and there is nothing wrong with what you did, but I will not let you swallow up the Xu Group easily, haha, although I know that in the past The current financial and human resources of the Xu Group are not as good as those of the Haotian Group, but my grandfather founded the Xu Group from scratch, and I will protect it no matter what the price."
"So, in order to keep the Xu Group, you are willing to marry someone you don't love." Hu Ke said.
After a slight pause, Xu Qing said: "Are you talking about Qin Richao? It doesn't matter. Although I don't know him very well, but he was chosen by my grandfather. I think it shouldn't be too bad. He doesn't matter. Both family background and character are very good. It doesn't matter if you marry him. As long as you can keep the Xu Group, it is worth paying any price. Ke'er, you were also born in a big family. You should know that there are At that time, we didn’t have the right to pursue our own hard work. Everything must be based on the interests of the family. Besides, isn’t it the same no matter who you marry? Happiness is nothing, as long as you can keep the Xu Group.”
Sighing deeply, Hu Ke said: "I understand what you mean. After I became sensible, I once thought about the same problem as you. I also thought that I would never find my happiness in this life, and my marriage would not be the same. It was a marriage of interests, but fortunately, I met Ye Qian, who allowed me to find my own happiness and not be involved in the curse of these big families."
"Isn't your marriage to Ye Qian because of his huge power?" Xu Qing said.
Shaking his head slightly, Hu Ke said: "When I met Ye Qian, I didn't know Ye Qian's identity. At that time, I only thought that he was a poor boy. Moreover, at that time, Langya was just a mercenary organization. , my idea at the beginning was that I should be the master of my life, and I should have a good relationship. Even if I end up having to marry someone I don’t love for the benefit of my family, at least I can still keep some good things. Memories." After a pause, Hu Ke continued: "Qingqing, I can see that you don't like Qin Richao at all. In your eyes, you can't see the passion and attachment between lovers at all. I believe it. To me, it's not worth sacrificing your own happiness. If you marry someone you don't love, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Thank you for the reminder." Xu Qing said, "Ke'er, when I saw you again after so many years, what I felt in my heart at the time was whether you were still the same Ke'er as before, and whether the friendship between us was still the same. Now, have we become strangers, and can we never find the same feeling as before? However, now that I hear you saying these words to me, I am very happy. I know that the relationship between us is still there, and I You are already satisfied, the rest is not important, Ke'er, just let it go and do your own thing, even if you lose, I won't blame you."
After a slight pause, Hu Ke smiled and said: "Qingqing, you misunderstood, I didn't come here today to declare war with you. I have already said hello to Sister Ran, uh, the president of Haotian Group. , she has also agreed to my suggestion and gave up the plan to acquire Xu Group."
Xu Qing couldn't help being stunned for a moment, looked at Hu Ke in astonishment, and said: "Ke'er, why are you doing this? In fact, even if you acquire the Xu Group, I won't blame you. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you to do this? Well, if you lose your job because of this incident, it wouldn’t be worth it.”
Smiling slightly, Hu Ke said: "Qingqing, don't feel any psychological pressure. Sister Ran is a very good person. We are like sisters. Moreover, I have already told her that we will cooperate with Xu Group. We will help the Xu Group expand overseas markets and join forces, and I believe we will have another world."
"Ke'er, I...I...thank you." Xu Qing said gratefully.
"Are you still being so polite to me? In fact, this is what Ye Qian meant." Hu Ke said, "He deliberately lost to Qin Richao that day just to find an excuse to give up the plan to acquire the Xu Group."
"I also saw it at the time." Xu Qing said, "But why did he do this? We only met him once."
Smiling faintly, Hu Ke said: "Maybe he has a crush on you. He is just a playboy. He does this when he sees beautiful girls."
Xu Qing couldn't help being stunned, and said quickly: "It's impossible, Ke'er, don't get me wrong, he and I have nothing to do with each other. It's just because he saved me that day, so I'm very grateful to him."
Hu Ke smiled and said: "Qingqing, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else. I have been with Ye Qian for so long. I still don't understand him. He does things based on his own preferences and is in a good mood." , he can do anything, even if he is in a bad mood, he will do nothing. Although he has many women, I know that he is sincere to each of them and likes them from the bottom of his heart. He is passionate, not Merry."
Xu Qing was stunned, glanced at Hu Ke in amazement, and said in surprise: "Ke'er, you mean he is more than just your girlfriend. Why do you want to wrong yourself so much? What age is it now? How can you accept that he has other girlfriends?" Where is the woman?"
Smiling slightly, Hu Ke said: "Qingqing, you haven't experienced love yet, so you don't know that when you really fall in love with someone, you are willing to give anything. Moreover, I get along very well with other sisters. Well, we are all very happy together. We all have only one goal, which is to do our best to help Ye Qian. There is no reason to love someone, and we are willing to give everything."
Xu Qing was stunned. She didn't know what to say. However, when she heard that Ye Qian had other women, she really couldn't understand how Hu Ke could accept it. Maybe it was because she had never been in love before. Well, but seeing the happy look on Hu Ke's face, Xu Qing knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. Moreover, since this was Hu Ke's choice, she thought it was good, so that's fine.
After a slight pause, Xu Qing said: "Since this is your choice, then I wish you happiness. You have been a very assertive person since you were a child. Just like when you suddenly said you wanted to leave school, our sisters are so I tried to persuade you to stay, but you are not willing to stay."
"You're not still blaming me, are you?" Hu Ke smiled apologetically and said, "I am the only child in our Hu family. I know that my grandfather has great expectations for me, and I also know that the burden on my shoulders is heavy. , So, I had to resist, so I chose to drop out of school and study martial arts, just so that I could shoulder the burden of the Hu family in the future."
"Learn martial arts." Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and said, "You dropped out of school just to learn martial arts."
"Yes." Hu Ke nodded and said: "The other party is a good friend of my grandfather. I have been following her since I dropped out of school and learned martial arts in the mountains. Although my life was hard, I was very happy. Maybe it was because of that. This fate allowed me to meet Ye Qian and let us come together."
"Look at you, your face lights up with happiness when you talk about him." Xu Qing smiled and said, "Ke'er, tell me the story between you two. I want to know what you have been doing all these years. How did it go?"
"If you don't mind it, then I'll tell you slowly, but it's a long story." Hu Ke smiled slightly and slowly recounted his journey from learning martial arts to meeting Ye Qian and following Ye Qian. The story of how Qian and Qian got together was told, and a lot of it was naturally omitted. Otherwise, it would have taken several days and nights to finish the story. However, even so, what Hu Ke said was true, and Xu Qing was completely immersed in it. Go in, and even fantasize about going deep into it.
Everyone has their own story. Xu Qing has always felt that these years have not been easy for her. It turns out that Hu Ke has been harder and more tired than herself. However, from the time Hu Ke talked about Ye Qian, Xu Qing could feel that Hu Ke was obviously relaxed. , there was a feeling of dependence, and during Hu Ke's conversation, Xu Qing also unconsciously felt the charm of Ye Qian. This man who can make so many women willingly pay for him must have something particularly charming. Xu Qing felt a strong sense of curiosity in her heart.
Time passed unknowingly, and as night fell, Hu Ke took a deep breath and said: "If I really talk about it, I'm afraid it will take me days and nights to finish it. It's getting late, Qingqing, go." Let’s have dinner at my house, and let’s sleep together and talk slowly at night, but you haven’t told me your story yet.”
