“I….”
“You what? You owe me money, so you have to pay it back. If you don’t, you have to work hard for me. It is reasonable” Leon narrowed his eyes, showing a smug expression.
“The only thing you can do is to bully women,” I snorted.
“It’s not me that’s bullying you, it’s the money.” He argued shamelessly.
“I don’t understand, you are a son of the Hua family, you rightfully deserve to be a director of the Hua family, why are you being squeezed out the board?”
“I have told you that if a man wants to be on the board, he can’t just rely on status, he has to have enough shares. Only if he holds a sufficient number of shares is he eligible to be elected as a director. If he doesn’t have a share, then he has to be in a position of power, like being the CEO of Hua Group. But I’m neither a major shareholder nor the president of Hua Group now, I’m just a senior vice president, so I’m not a director.”
“Then why don’t you, as the son of CEO, have a large share?”
Leon said in a cold voice, “I had it before, then I went to prison and my shares were transferred away. I was in prison and they made me sign a share transfer agreement or I wouldn’t get out of prison for life and I had to compromise then.”
I was going to ask him why he was in jail, but he waved his hand, “Let’s leave the past alone and talk about the present. This time I also had a chance to be elected as a director and enter the board, but suddenly there was a traffic accident between Bo Ma and Nan Lin, and just before Bo Ma died, I fought him again, so I was targeted and someone use it to keep me from attending the shareholders meeting and also let me leave Hai City. I don’t have anyone I can trust right now, so I can only let you go in my place and find out what’s going on.”
“But I’m not eligible to attend a shareholders’ meeting, huh?”
“There are provisions in the articles of incorporation that allow important shareholders to be represented if they are unable to be present in person. You are my wife and my assistant, so you are qualified to represent me in both public and private life. And you make very few appearances, and in their eyes, you’re not worth mentioning, so they won’t be defensive of you, which is your biggest advantage.”
“But how do I feel like I’m being used by you?”
“It’s an honor to be used by me. Don’t get frustrated with being used. If you are used by others, it shows you have value. A worthless waste, who would use it?” Leon said coldly.
“So I’m a tool to be used and Nan Lin is your true love?”
“You see, you’re comparing yourself to others again. Everyone is a unique individual in this world and you don’t need to compare yourself to others. If you think you’re irreplaceable, you’re really irreplaceable, and you have to think you’re a loser, and sooner or later you’re going to be a loser. The kind of person you want to be, the kind of person you’re going to be.”
I laughed coldly, “Mr. Hua doesn’t hesitate to give me so much philosophy on life in order to let me work for you. But I’m sorry that I am immune to this kind of preaching about how to be successful. I know what kind of person I am, and I know what kind of role I should play.”
Leon raised the corner of his mouth, “Isn’t that better? The most important quality of a person is to have self-knowledge. It’s like you’re my wife, but you have to understand that you’re not actually. Marriage is an economic relationship, an exchange of resources and complementarity, not related to feelings. While you are being used by me, aren’t you also enjoying the material pleasures that I bring to you? If you hadn’t married me, you could have everything you have now? Don’t say you don’t care about any of this. Anyone who is human wants a better life, and you are no exception.”
I was in a good mood, but after hearing his words, I was a little sad.
“Then I don’t get it. Since marriage is a resource swap, then Miss Chen’s has so many resources, why don’t you marry her? And I am a woman from the bottom of society with nothing but poverty, why did you marry me?” I said coldly.
“Although Ruoxin Chen has resources, I don’t bother to trade marriage with her. I want to prove that without marrying her, I, Leon Hua, can also get what I want. As for you, you also know that the biggest reason I married you was to get custody of Alex. Then the purpose was achieved, and I didn’t bother to get a divorce. When I want to marry someone else, it won’t be too late for us to get a divorce then.”
I nodded, “I see. If Mr. Hua wants to marry Miss Lin someday, you will divorce me. But have you ever thought that if she is not the real Nan Lin, then could she have been arranged by someone else? Could Nan Lin be the most lethal weapon that others have used against you?”
Leon narrowed his eyes again, “I’ll look into this matter.”
“I don’t believe you can do it. As soon as you see Nan Lin , you become unlike you. You still have your sanity? Mr. Hua, for the sake of me being your honorary wife, could you tell me a little story about your past?”
“Nan Lin has been kind to me. No one can take her place in my heart.” Leon said.
I was a little jealous, but I didn’t really know why I was jealous of her. He didn’t love me, and he just used me. so why should I care who he likes?
“Then do you think the current Nan Lin is any different from the previous Nan Lin ? Didn’t you realize she wasn’t the real Nan Lin?”
“Actually, I don’t know what she looks like. So I don’t really know what she used to be like.” Leon said.
His words made me laugh in spite of myself, “You never met her? Why has she become the most important person in your life? Are you being too hasty? Is this what we call platonic love?”
“At that time, I was blinded and it was Nan who kept taking care of me. Her looks are also what I see in the photos. I hadn’t seen her like that before this. After my eyes recovered, she disappeared.”
Leon’s tone was full of deep affection and sadness when he talked about these things.
“That is to say, Nan Lin appeared after you were blind…. sorry, after you couldn’t see, and then left before you could see. You’ve never seen such a person before?”
Leon didn’t speak, just nodded. At the mention of Lin Nan, his deep affection for her really made me sad.
“Then why did she leave? You guys got through it so hard, and your eyes can finally see what she looks like, why did she leave? Why didn’t she let you see her?”
Leon still shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
“Where did you get Nan Lin ‘s photo? The picture on the piano, where did you get it?”
“She left it. Those things were left behind by her.” Leon said.
“what if the person in that photo is actually not Nan Lin? What if the real Nan Lin doesn’t look like that?”
“What do you mean, Nala Yao? Are you trying to discredit her? Of course she looks like that. Would she leave a fake picture to fool me? She’s a nice person, and she wouldn’t do that. I forbid you to say anything bad about her, am I being too polite to you to allow you to be so impudent?”
Leon suddenly became serious and angry.
My heart was even sadder.
Nan Lin was truly irreplaceable, as evidenced by Leon’s look in his eyes and expression.
“I’m sorry, I won’t say anything more about her. It’s your business, and I’ll never ask it again. I’ll try to finish the job you give me, and now you can go.” I said coldly.
Leon grunted coldly, slamming the door and leaving.
