Chapter 347: Shadow of the Horton Family's Rule
Ji Cheng: “???”
What was going on? He gave her a big gift right away, and she was increasingly confused about Oliver's train of thought.
"I don't have anything good to give you when we first meet, so I'll give you this—"
"Please don't reject me. If you don't accept me, I will be really sad."
Oliver handed the contract in his hand to Ji Cheng, and as he spoke he tilted his head slightly and pretended a sad expression.
This was the gift he had carefully selected and thought was the most presentable. Not only that, when he came, there were also several antique paintings worth tens of millions of dollars, as well as diamond jewelry and other things in the trunk.
They were all looted gifts for Ji Cheng.
Although he knew that the other party might not need it, this was all his intention.
Ji Cheng stood there in silence, watching his impromptu performance.
She also has a private island under her name. She has only been there once so far and had a good impression of it.
But Oliver's private island seems to be a profitable island for vacation tourism.
Ji Cheng seemed calm on the surface, but in his heart he was frantically tapping on the virtual screen of 886 to question himself.
"No, what's going on with him?! He's being too nice to me."
886QAQ: [He might be... to you]
886QAQ: [The kind of care that elders give to younger generations? ]
886’s response was deafening, leaving Ji Cheng unsure of how to react for a moment.
Elder? Junior? Is the junior her?
If they weren't close friends, there wouldn't be much difference between them. Thinking of Oliver's age, she fell silent again.
It did seem to be a little older than her, but she still couldn't figure out the relationship between the two.
Uncle Ji looked at Ji Cheng's embarrassed expression and took the initiative to speak.
"Xiao Cheng, take it. They have plenty of these at home—"
Ji Cheng didn't know with what kind of mentality he took the contract.
When Oliver saw that she accepted it, he couldn't help but shout out loud in his heart. He knew that he should stop while he was ahead, so he left humming a little tune.
Ji Cheng's state of confusion continued until he saw Maoqiu Maoxian and Xie Yanchuan.
Xie Yanchuan looked at Ji Cheng, whose face was rosy, who appeared on the other side of the camera. His eyes couldn't help but darken, and an unknown torrent surged in his deep eyes.
In order to prevent the other party from noticing anything unusual, I had to try my best to remain cold.
"Are you used to it over there?" Xie Yanchuan asked in a low voice with deep eyes.
When Ji Cheng heard his question, he took his eyes off the fur ball and looked up at Xie Yanchuan on the other side of the screen, getting rid of the annoyance in his mind.
"Yeah, but after staying in the country for so long, I'm a little uncomfortable here."
After listening to her words, Xie Yanchuan wanted to ask more questions, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he closed his mouth and did not ask any more questions. He lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.
Ji Cheng looked at the other person and muttered something quietly.
"Of course I'm not used to being without you..."
When in China, Ji Cheng could see Xie Yanchuan as soon as he looked up, but he was not used to it here.
Habit is indeed a terrible thing. She seems unable to accept a life without Xie Yanchuan.
When Xie Yanchuan looked up, he saw her mumbling something with her head down, but her voice was too soft and he couldn't hear it clearly.
Besides, Ji Cheng didn't mention it again, so he didn't take it seriously.
Xie Yanchuan is very familiar with the wool ball and yarn, and now he can knead them into any shape or form he wants.
The pure white kitten was picked up by Xie Yanchuan and faced Ji Cheng on the other side.
"Don't move, Maoqiu. Let your mother see you..."
There were also some impatient fur balls that subconsciously stopped struggling when they heard the familiar voice. They looked at Ji Cheng through the screen with their round eyes and shouted a few words softly.
Ji Cheng couldn't help but feel his heart melt when listening to the amazing clipping sound of the fur ball. He wanted to penetrate the screen and stroke it quickly.
But through the screen, she could only watch and rub the cat from a distance.
Ji Cheng chatted with Xie Yanchuan for a while, then subconsciously glanced at the time and saw that it was already very late, so he said good night to him and told him to go to bed early.
"Good night, Xie Yanchuan." The gentle voice echoed in Xie Yanchuan's ears, igniting the silence in the room.
Xie Yanchuan also responded to her good night with a smile, then looked at the dark screen and sighed deeply.
He missed Ji Cheng every day. He thought secretly that he seemed to miss her a little more today than yesterday. Will he miss her more tomorrow than today?
Xie Yanchuan thought, yes.
But he had no place to vent this longing, and it accumulated like a deep current at the outlet of his heart.
**
Many people knew that Oliver was going to Houghton Manor in such a high-profile manner, and they secretly sent people to find out the news.
Everyone in Country K knew about the relationship between the two families, but it was hard for them not to think too much when they met at this critical juncture.
The heir of the Horton family has just returned to Country K. It has only been a few days and the two families have met. Are they discussing some new cooperation?
When I thought about the shadow of being ruled by the Horton family a few years ago, it immediately loomed over me. When I thought about this possibility, the sky seemed to fall.
No, absolutely not!
I finally made it to the day of success, and I never want this kind of day to happen again.
The spies they sent out were complete trash. They couldn't even get into Houghton Manor and returned empty-handed.
The only information that could be found out was that Oliver stayed at Houghton Manor for several hours and did not leave until nightfall.
No one knows what the two of them talked about during these hours.
This feeling of the unknown loomed in their hearts, making them anxious and worried. They wished they could grow super hearing so they could sit at home and hear what the two people were talking about.
In the Adams family's brightly lit manor, the clinking lights reflected the luxury inside, and countless men and women in gorgeous clothes walked around.
Obviously, this was the Adams family's home turf, but there was only one person being discussed by countless people, and that was the heir of the Horton family.
"There has been no news about the heir in the past few days."
"This heiress has not left her house since she came to Country K. Who knows what she wants to do?"
"Oliver went to meet the heir. Will the two families have any new cooperation?"
"..."
A man and a woman were standing in the center of the party. Samson was wearing a dark suit and had short light blond hair combed back, revealing his extremely aggressive face.
Standing face to face with him was Yevute, with fine lines at the corners of her eyes on her thin face. She was wearing a women's suit and sky-high heels. She had big wavy golden hair and her sexy red lips were opening and closing.
"Have you met her?"
——The Little Theatre of Thoughts
Oliver (putting it directly into his pocket): What are you tearing up? This is for my sister!!
886QAQ: [The elder is Oliver, and the younger is the host~]
Xie Yanchuan: Today is also a day that I miss my wife!
