Chapter 34: Threats Are Useless

These words didn’t leave any face at all. Luo Shuqi felt like he had been slapped twice in front of Huo Ye and his face was burning.

“Mr. Huo, this is a private dinner between Miss Xia and me. Could you please excuse us?”

Before Huo Ye could speak, Xia Sheng grabbed his hand.

“You and I have never had any private gatherings before. With your character, I can’t wait to broadcast this meeting live so that the entire world will know what kind of person you are. That way, there won’t be anyone gossiping about us having lingering feelings for each other! Also, how shameful are you to not let my husband be by my side?”

The word ‘husband’ pierced Luo Shuqi’s heart deeply, but it successfully pleased Huo Ye. He held the soft hand in his palm and smiled unconsciously.

Luo Shuqi was prepared to ridicule Xia Sheng for what had happened online, but he received a bolt from the blue on the way here.

His assistant had just called to tell him that the JE Group had purchased all the building materials from the source at a high price, and they were preparing to collaborate with the Huo Corporation. Now that this had happened, the entire company would be facing bankruptcy, let alone cooperation.

All his fantasies just now had turned into bubbles. Now, he had no choice but to humbly beg Xia Sheng for help.

“Xia Sheng, I really need your help this time. Considering how deeply I’ve loved you in the past, you can’t just leave me in the lurch, right?”

Xia Sheng looked at the man opposite her with a smile.

“Luo Shuqi, are you still dreaming? You’ve been in the business world for so many years. Don’t you know that profit is the most important thing in a collaboration? Unless your company can offer a higher price than JE Group. Otherwise, not even the gods can help you. There’s something else I need to tell you.”

When Luo Shuqi heard this, he thought that there was still a chance, but he heard Xia Sheng’s teasing voice.

“Next time you ask for help, remember to lower your stance and be proper. Look at how you were talking to my husband just now. Even if I can stop JE from participating in this competition, I won’t help you.”

“You…”

“What? Since your parents didn’t teach you to respect others, then let me teach you!”

Luo Shuqi’s face was red. He seemed to have been forced into a corner as he pointed at Xia Sheng’s nose and roared.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself. Don’t you want your adoptive father’s will? If you agree to help, I can hand it over to you immediately. If you don’t help me, I don’t mind burning it down and making it disappear forever.”

Back then, Xia Zhi had sold this will to Luo Shuqi for money. At that time, that b*tch thought that this would definitely threaten Xia Sheng in the future. Xia Sheng smiled and let go of Huo Ye’s hand. She walked over to Luo Shuqi and exhaled. Luo Shuqi seemed to be able to smell Xia Sheng’s faint fragrance.

He thought that Xia Sheng had compromised and straightened his back with a half-smile, waiting for Xia Sheng to beg him.

Who knew that although he had many dreams, reality was harsh. Xia Sheng’s next words made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

“I didn’t expect you to still like to threaten others. I see that your brain isn’t too good, so you can never see your own bargaining chip clearly. I naturally have my own way of getting what I want. You spent so much money thinking that it was a rare commodity, but it’s actually just a piece of scrap paper!”

She patted Luo Shuqi on the shoulder and returned to Huo Ye with a smile.

“Security, please get this troublemaker out..”
