Chapter 211 - Threat or intimidation
Huo Yanran smiled first. With confidence and arrogance in her eyes, she stood up from the sofa and said, "h.e.l.lo, I"m Huo Yanran."
Cheng Liyue was startled for a few seconds, she then calmed down and smiled to her: Miss Huo is looking for me?
"I believe you know the reason why I"m looking for you." Huo Yanran was straightforward and did not give Cheng Liyue any chance to play dumb.
Cheng Liyue could only pretend to be stupid, "Do you want to design jewelry?"
Huo Yanran laughed in a mocking manner, "The jewelry I wear is never designed in this small company. It"s made by a top designer."
Cheng Liyue immediately felt that she had not come with good intentions, and due to her disrespect, the smile on her face dimmed a bit, "Just like this, my small company cannot accept a n.o.ble you like Miss Huo, please."
With that, Cheng Liyue turned and left.
Huo Yanran also never thought that Cheng Liyue would look down on her so much. She immediately spoke with a heavy face, "Cheng Liyue, let"s chat a bit."
"If you didn"t look for me to design the jewelry, I"m afraid I wouldn"t have the time." Cheng Liyue didn"t want to chat with her at all. Huo Yanran"s arrogant att.i.tude just now, and the contempt in her tone displeased her.
Huo Yanran could not help but open her mouth to speak, "Let"s talk about Gong Yexiao."
"Talking about him means that there"s nothing much to talk about between us. This is between you and him, it has nothing to do with me." After Cheng Liyue finished speaking, he opened the door and was about to leave.
"Just now in his office, the woman he was playing with was you, right?" Huo Yanran asked loudly.
Cheng Liyue"s hand that was holding the door stopped moving, and her face couldn"t help but flush red. How did Huo Yanran know it was her?
"I don"t know what you"re talking about." Cheng Liyue did not reply first, but his tone sounded a little panicked.
"Looks like Miss Cheng spends all her time on trying to seduce men." Following closely behind, she continued, "Did his grandfather know that you ran over to seduce Gong Yexiao during your s.h.i.+ft?"
Cheng Liyue continued to not look back, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"In the short exchange just now, I realized that Miss Cheng was a rather smart person. I think you should know what att.i.tude she had towards you! The Gong Family only recognizes your son, Ozawa, and not you. " Huo Yanran said in a sharp tone.
Cheng Liyue"s tone was a little hoa.r.s.e, but she said resolutely, "This is something that I and the Gong Family need to negotiate, it has nothing to do with Miss Huo."
Huo Yanran strode behind her and sneered, "Of course it"s related. It"s precisely because grandfather Gong doesn"t like you that he took the initiative to look for me and ask me to replace you, to become the foster mother of Ozawa in the future."
Cheng Liyue turned and stared at her, gritting her teeth, "Other than me, my son will not be raised by any woman."
Huo Yanran smiled confidently at her, "I heard that up till now, Grandpa Gong hasn"t even met you once. Don"t tell me you still don"t know your own limitations? If the Gong Family wants it, they will only have children, and you will get nothing. "
"I never thought about getting anything either. I only want my son. No one can take him away from me." Cheng Liyue said coldly.
"Miss Cheng, don"t be so untactful. If you love Gong Yexiao, you should leave him, otherwise, because of you, he will go against his entire clan, and even lose the authority of the Miyagi group." Huo Yanran threatened.
Cheng Liyue"s face was filled with shock. Her body trembled slightly, "What did you say?"
"You still don"t understand? Old Master Gong is currently the Senior Elder of the Miyagi group, he has the right to take over Gong Yexiao"s rights at any time, and help his second son gain the throne, or his other adult but not outstanding grandson to take over the position. Maybe you don"t know this, but four years ago, in the Miyagi group"s inheritance war, Gong Yexiao offended his two uncles and other cousins multiple times. Huo Yanran stared at her with a complicated look in her eyes.
Cheng Liyue didn"t know anything about the Miyagi group, even Gong Yexiao didn"t know how many uncles. She had only heard it from Lu Junxuan before, but she never thought that Gong Yexiao"s current position would be so easy to obtain.
"Miss Cheng, name a price, I will give you the money you cannot get from the palace. I only have one condition, give up my child, and leave Gong Yexiao." She thought that money must have an enticing effect on Cheng Liyue.
However, when Cheng Liyue heard these words, she immediately looked at her resolutely, "I will never give up on my child."
"Then will you leave Gong Yexiao?" Huo Yanran pressed.
Cheng Liyue immediately became silent. If what Huo Yanran said just now was true, then this was indeed something worth her thinking about. She naturally did not want Gong Yexiao to lose everything because of her.
"Cheng Liyue, for a man like Gong Yexiao, there is no woman who would not fall in love with him. I believe you have already fallen in love with him, but with your existence, he will only be in trouble and be in danger. His two uncles are not going to let him go so easily, they are eyeing the inheritance rights of the Miyagi group in his hands like a tiger staring at its prey. Huo Yanran continued to use the situation around Gong Yexiao to scare her.
Cheng Liyue was truly frightened, because shshecared about Gong Yexiao"s safety and also cared about his situation in the palace. Four years ago, why did she get drugged and run into her room? Moreover, every time he went out, he would always have a bodyguard by her side. This meant that he knew that she was in danger.
Huo Yanran looked at her tightly-knit brows, obvious worry and unease flowing through them. She pressed on, "Now, are you still planning to stay by Gong Yexiao"s side?"
Cheng Liyue looked at her with a calm gaze, "I will make my own plans, there is no need to tell you about it."
"Don"t regret it when the time comes."
"I believe that Gong Yexiao is not as useless as you think. He is not that weak to sit in this position." Cheng Liyue looked at her and said.
Huo Yanran did not expect her to still rely on Gong Yexiao, but she sneered, "No matter how strong he is, and what methods he has, will he be able to use these to deal with his own grandfather? For you? "
The last sentence was full of ridicule.
Cheng Liyue was silent again, her thoughts were in a mess right now. She took a deep breath and said, "I still have work to do, please go ahead."
"Cheng Liyue, you can live without any pressure, but, you cannot live with Gong Yexiao, so, I advise you to leave him as soon as possible! He must be your son"s father, so do not be so selfish, and only think for yourself, not for him. "
Cheng Liyue"s hand that was pulling the door stopped. She thought for a moment, then turned to Huo Yanran and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Because I love him as much as you do." Huo Yanran bit her lips and answered.
