Chapter 643 - Gong Tianmiao (2/2)
Li Meiyu sighed and said, “Okay, but can you stay tonight? I need your help.”
Qin Haodong thought for a moment and agreed, “Well, then we’ll leave tomorrow.”
After a long break in the afternoon, Qin Haodong got into Li Meiyu’s RV at eight o’clock in the evening.
The driver started the car and they were sitting next to each other. Qin Haodong asked, “Where are we going?”
“To a banquet.”
There was a faint trace of worry on her face.
Qin Haodong said, “Do you want me to go to the banquet with you?”
Li Meiyu gave him a bitter smile and said, “This is an unusual banquet and they might have set a trap for me. There’s no one else who can help me.”
Qin Haodong’s face clouded over and he asked, “What’s going on?”
“It’s a long story. Listen carefully.” Li Meiyu explained, “Where there are businessmen, there are chambers of commerce. In Hong Kong, the largest commercial department is the Hong Kong Business Association, which controls nearly 90% of the commercial resources here.
Before the accident, my grandfather was the president of the Hong Kong Business Association. But later he had an accident and was in a coma. During this period of time, the vice president, Gong Tianmiao took the opportunity and became the president.
He has always been plotting against us. After I took over the business, he thought I was young and inexperienced and took away three of our deals. He also began to gather our shares in the stock market.
“We put all our capital on you this time when you fought with Mei Zhanlong and made a fortune. If not, we would not have been able to get through these difficult times.”
Qin Haodong listened carefully without making any comments.
Li Meiyu continued, “Recently, Gong Tianmiao sent people to our house to make a marriage proposal. He wants me to marry his son, Gong Tengfei.
“Gong Tengfei is a good-for-nothing playboy. Besides, his father must have an ulterior motive in proposing a marriage. I believe that his ultimate goal is to get the property of our Li family.”
Qin Haodong continued, “Why don’t you just refuse him? I don’t think they would dare to force you. Besides, they can’t threaten you with Zhang Tieniu and the other bodyguards protecting you.”
Li Meiyu said, “They won’t take me away by force. After all, Hong Kong is a legal society. But Gong Tianmiao is cunning and scheming and I believe that today’s banquet might be related to this matter. Maybe it’s part of his conspiracy.”
Qin Haodong’s heart was full of pity when he saw her worried face. It was really difficult for a young girl to take charge of such a big family business.
He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you solve this problem before I leave Hong Kong.”
“Haodong, thank you.”
Li Meiyu looked at Qin Haodong’s handsome face with adoration and gratitude.
Qin Haodong said, “Don’t thank me. I’m your bodyguard, don’t you remember?”
Li Meiyu said with a complicated look, “I would like you to be my bodyguard for the rest of your life, is that OK?”
Qin Haodong sighed and said, “Why are you so persistent? I have several girlfriends and I won’t leave them, no matter what happens.”
After a long silence, Li Meiyu said, “If I don’t care about them, will you accept me?”
Qin Haodong was moved. It was very difficult for such a jealous girl to accept his girlfriends. She must love him very much.
“Please don’t be hard on yourself. Maybe you’ll fall in love with someone else tomorrow and find a man who will belong to you entirely.”
“No! That’s impossible!”
Li Meiyu grabbed Qin Haodong’s hands and put them on her chest, “No matter what happens to us in the future, my heart will always belong to you and I won’t fall in love with anyone else.”
Qin Haodong said, “I know what you mean. But you can’t let go of that feeling in your heart and we won’t be happy together. Come to me when you finally understand it.”
Li Meiyu fell silent. She loved Qin Haodong, but she could not accept his girlfriends. She always dreamed of a love that totally belonged to her.
Qin Haodong said, “Well, let’s talk about something else.”
Li Meiyu shook her head, as if she wanted to drive away the worries in her heart. She opened her bag and handed a check to Qin Haodong, “This is for you.”
Qin Haodong took the check and found that it was for two billion yuan.
He said, “Why are you giving me so much money?”
Li Meiyu said, “In your final battle with Mei Zhanlong, I bet all our money on you and made a fortune. This belongs to you.”
Qin Haodong said, “Forget it. It’s your winnings, so please keep it.”
