C252 Bottom line touched (1/2)
As if he didn't notice that a pair of eyes was secretly observing him, Huangfu Yun looked at the smiling woman sitting opposite him and said in a low voice, ”An An, tell me. What good news do you want to tell me?”
An'an's exquisite face revealed an enchanting sight. Her red fingernails gently tapped on the table for a long time before she said, ”As you wish. The Leo family will be here in three days to set the date of the engagement.”
”Who's coming?” Huangfu Yun asked in a low voice.
”Who else could it be other than my wife, the eldest daughter of the Leo family, Fiona, my eldest master, Charles, and my fiance, second master, Logue?” An An An said disdainfully.
Huangfu Yun gave a low laugh as wolf glints appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, ”As expected, even Charles came.”
”What do you mean?” An An An looked at Huangfu Yunyin with a puzzled expression.
Huangfu Yun then said, ”It's just a competition for the inheritance right of the family. If my investigation is correct, you should have been engaged to Charles in the beginning, but Fiona's lobbying appeared along the way, so all of your Chris family fell for Second Young Master Logue, right?”
”Indeed!” Anthea nodded.
”If that's the case, then there's no mistake. In recent years, Fiona and Charles have become the leaders of the Leo family. Fiona and your Kris family are engaged to be betrothed to Fiona, but do you think Fiona will let them marry each other?” Huangfu Yun gave a brief explanation.
An An smiled doubtfully, ”If that's the case, then I really did get that old woman Fiona to persuade me to choose the most hopeless second brother, Logue.”
Logue. Huangfu Yun muttered this name in a low voice. Ever since he knew that the neighbor was the second young master of the Lei Clan, who was his half-brother, Huangfu Yun had also investigated this matter. Luoge was indeed the person with the least hope for the clan to inherit his position in the future. Now that most of the power in the Leo family was in the hands of Charles, it was no wonder that the ambitious Fiona would be jealous.
Seeing Huangfu Yunyin seemed to be deep in thought, An An asked in a moment of desperation, ”Do as you say. Our Kris Clan has already gathered all the people here. Why don't you tell me what to do next?”
”Next up, finish your engagement banquet with Logue!” Huangfu Yun said in a simple and relaxed manner.
”What? You clearly know that Logue is just a paper tiger, why would I still be engaged to him?” An'an asked puzzledly.
”An'an!” Huangfu Yun suddenly stretched out his hand to pick up An Xin's chin. He stared at An Xin with an expression that said he couldn't refuse.
Although her eyes were as cold as ice, An An was unable to extricate herself from this man's ruthlessness. She was a bit flustered, but she still forced herself to remain calm. ”What are you going to say?”
”Don't you think you have a fatal attraction for any man?” Huangfu Yun's tone was slightly charming.
”What are you trying to say?” An'an's tone was a little uncertain. She understood a little, but she did not quite understand Huangfu Yunyin's intentions.
”I need you,” Huangfu Yun said with a sneer, as if he had transformed into a demon. ”I need you, to let the Lei Clan cover their calmness under the surface and create ripples as high as they can. You have to understand that not only is the Lei Clan's Fiona ambitious, Charles is also an ambitious fellow.
”You mean instigate?” An An asked after hearing Huangfu Yun's words.
”You're smart!” Huangfu Yun said with a gentle smile. Only when the Lei Clan was at the brink of battle would he be able to easily sneak in.
”Ok, I understand. I have a fatal temptation towards any man. Does that include you, Huangfu Yunyin?” An'an laughed coquettishly.
”After this is done, I will not treat your Kris clan unfairly. I guarantee that your Kris clan will be one of the most prestigious clans in the clan. Today, it will be the Rohault clan.” Huangfu Yun said calmly.
An'an once again seemed to be slightly disdainful of Huangfu Yunyin's words. She sneered, ”What do I need all these for? I can sacrifice so much, but you just want to give me a name.”
”Name?” Huangfu Yun was stunned.
An'an's azure eyes flashed with greed. Rather than comparing her status as the young miss of the Kris clan, what she wanted more was a man like Huangfu Yunyin, as well as the title of Madam Huangfu, which definitely did not belong to any noble clan.
As if he could read the greed in An An An's eyes, Huangfu Yun was no longer surprised. He sneered and said, ”Is what you wanted so simple?”
”What? You agree?” Seeing Huangfu Yun's tone, An An's heart suddenly jumped with joy.
”I remember saying that marriage was just a piece of paper!” Huangfu Yun said in a low and deep voice. An uninteresting glint of light flashed in his eyes. He would not agree to it, nor would he deny An An's answer, because he needed such a chess piece right now.
