She hadn’t forgotten what she’d overheard on the last call.
She knew that what he had said on the phone was clearly that the Dong family had a grudge against The Lane Family, so now this business that he was talking about fighting to devour was definitely The Lane Family Group.
So the reason she was asking knowingly at the moment was to hear how he would answer her.
“Of course you haven’t heard of it, not just you, including President Lane and the entire C City business community.” Hugh Dong raised one finger and waved it.
Christine White secretly pinched her thigh and put on a curious face, “So tell me, which business is it, you’re making it hard for me.”
“Secret!” Hugh Dong smiled mysteriously, selling the secret just not telling her.
Christine White frowned, “It’s still a secret, and I’ll still know about it when the Dong’s are sure to go after that business, so what difference does it make if you tell me now?”
“Of course there’s a difference, and it wouldn’t be exciting to tell you now.” Hugh Dong looked at her.
Christine White pursed her lips and gave a fake upset chortle, “I don’t want to know if I don’t tell, but you have to tell me what your father’s vendetta is against that business, right?”
“This is fine.” Hugh Dong rubbed his chin and nodded.
Christine White’s eyes lit up for a moment and she put her face forward, “Come on then!”
Her heart was beating fast.
She really desperately wanted to know the reason for the Dongs’ hatred of The Lane Family.
“In fact, the hatred is very dogmatic, it’s the revenge of taking his wife, more than twenty years ago, the heir of that enterprise stole my father’s most beloved woman, and also caused my father to be unable to have children, and ended up with a paraplegic, you should have seen the wheelchair that my father was sitting in, right?” Hugh Dong asked.
Christine White nodded, “See, your father has no way to walk on his legs.”
“No no no!” Hugh Dong waved his finger again, “He can walk, but he won’t be able to walk for long before his legs get weak, that’s why he’s always in a wheelchair, of course that’s not the most important thing, what’s important is that my father can’t have children, can you imagine how crazy a man will become when he loses the most important thing?”
“…” Christine White opened her little mouth and didn’t answer.
Hugh Dong added, “For a man to lose the symbol of being a man is undoubtedly worse than killing him, you know? The one who put him in this state is his best and most trusted friend.”
“How did this happen …” Christine White murmured in disbelief.
Hugh Dong heard it and snorted mockingly, “But that’s how it is, my father survived with hatred and vowed to make his enemy’s family fall apart, but unfortunately my father’s power was still very small more than twenty years ago, and there was no possibility to take revenge, that’s why he left the country back then, with the aim of developing his own power.”
Speaking of this, he felt a little thirsty and picked up the water cup he had just put down and drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat before continuing, “Finally, after twenty years, my father’s power can already be compared to that of his enemies, so he reentered C City because he wanted to destroy his enemies with his own hands.”
“I know …” Christine White bit down on her lower lip as a huge wave rippled through her heart.
Hugh Dong’s words are enough to prove that The Lane Family’s enemy, lurking in the shadows, is the Dong family!
The old man who had tied her up and beaten her severely was Owen Dong, because she still remembered that the old man’s weak appearance when he walked at that time was exactly the same as what Hugh Dong had just said about the weakness of his legs.
Thinking about this, Christine White’s breathing began to increase and her body trembled slightly.
Hugh Dong noticed her difference and hurriedly put down his glass of water to inquire, “What’s wrong with you?”
Christine White didn’t want him to see anything, slightly lowered her head, put on a weak look and returned, “It’s fine, just now the wind came in, so I feel a little cold, you also know that I’ve had my bone marrow pumped twice, my body isn’t as good as it used to be, and I can’t stand it when there’s a slight wind blowing.”
“It’s supposed to rain again in a while, I’ll go close the floor-to-ceiling windows.” Saying that, Hugh Dong got up and walked towards the balcony to close the floor-to-ceiling window.
Christine White cooperated by rubbing her arms and stretching out her tightness, “Thank you, ah, I’m much better.”
“Is your body as bad as this now?” Hugh Dong frowned.
Christine White touched the tip of her nose somewhat sheepishly, “It’s okay.”
“How about going abroad with me in a couple months?” Hugh Dong suddenly suggested.
Christine White froze for a split second, “Out of the country with you?”
“Well, taking you abroad for treatment, the medical level abroad is higher than at home, your body will recover better than at home if you are treated abroad.” Hugh Dong looked at her, the frivolity on his face was gone and he looked extra serious.
Christine White also saw that he was coming for real, and her whole body was stunned, and it was only after a long time that she wriggled her lips to make a sound, “Why are you … being so nice to me?”
Hugh Dong raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t I tell you, I like you, only you never believed me, and since I like it, I wanted to do something for you, and thought it would be best to take you abroad for medical treatment.”
“You didn’t have to be so nice to me.” Christine White looked at him with complexity.
She hadn’t wanted to remain friends with him since she was sure he was one of The Lane Family’s enemies.
Now she’s still here talking to him peacefully only because she’s still trying to get words out of him, get more clues, and then tell Baird Lane so that Baird Lane can wipe him out with the Dongs and The Bort Family behind him.
But what she didn’t expect was that he was caring about her health and wanted to take her abroad for treatment, so in contrast, she suddenly felt so despicable.
“Being good to you is something I do willingly, you are the first woman I fell in love with, and in order to prove that my feelings for you don’t lose to President Lane, then what President Lane didn’t do, I’m going to do.” Hugh Dong didn’t know what was going on in Christine White’s mind and said with a smile.
Christine White looked at him as if he was a child fighting for favor, and inexplicably felt a bit of astringency in her heart.
“You’re like this, it makes me really don’t know what to do …,” Christine White whispered, covering her face.
Hugh Dong thought she was concerned about Baird Lane and couldn’t help but frown, “What’s so difficult about it, two months at the latest, when my father gets his revenge, I’ll take you out of here and go abroad.”
Christine White sniffed and released her hand from her face, looking a little anxious, “Two months? You guys want to settle everything in two months?”
“Not bad.” Hugh Dong nodded, “So for the next two months, you …”
Halfway through his sentence, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Christine White’s eyes flashed as she looked into his pockets.
Although Hugh Dong was also a bit upset that his words were interrupted by the call, he still took his cell phone out, “I’m going to take a call.”
He pointed to the balcony.
Christine White nodded, “Go ahead.”
Hugh Dong walked towards the balcony, and when he reached the balcony, he also carefully closed the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony.
The balcony’s floor-to-ceiling windows had excellent soundproofing, and once they were closed, the people inside couldn’t hear a thing he said outside.
Christine White couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, just now she saw his caller ID, it was Owen Dong calling, she had wanted to listen to the content of their phone call to see if she could hear any more important clues, but she didn’t expect that he would simply not give her a chance.
But it’s also good, today is not unproductive, at least she knows the cause of the hatred between Dong’s family and The Lane Family, and her listening device has also recorded all this, after Hugh Dong has left, she can guide the recording on her computer, and I believe that Baird Lane will know what to do when he has this recording.
But Hugh Dong …
Christine White bit her lip as she looked at the man on the balcony, a tangle written in her eyes, a tangle of whether she was doing this, right or wrong.
