Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1748 - 1746: Investigating the Truth (Part 4)

The Hua family was utterly astonished.

Hua Dong hesitated to speak, occasionally wanting to inquire about Huo Zun’s business affairs, but the man skillfully diverted the conversation without leaving a trace.

Hua Dong was extremely awkward.

This marriage of Hua Nuan to Huo Zun was originally intended to be a profitable venture, but now it turns out to be completely fruitless.

Hua Nuan tightly grasped the knife and fork in her hand, extremely nervous.

She didn’t want Hua Dong to mention anything related to interests.

She set up the scheme intending to find out the true instigator from the beginning.

It wasn’t... the uncle.

Huo Zun glanced at the absent-minded woman, gracefully cutting the steak on his plate, and calmly spoke.

"What’s wrong, no appetite?"

"Hmm?"

"If you have no appetite, shall we change this batch of chefs, switch it up a bit?"

The chefs of the Huo family are all top chefs from Michelin-starred Restaurants, creating world-class delicacies, so they’re already good enough.

It’s just her who doesn’t have the appetite.

"No need."

Hua Nuan responded lightly, forcing a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Huo Zun gave the woman in front of him a long look, then slightly curved his lips, his blue eyes flashing with a profound dark glimmer.

"Recently, there’s a business deal in Southeast Asia, and I haven’t found a suitable person to take over. I wonder if Mr. Hua is interested? My business is mostly in Europe."

Hua Dong, racking his brains on what to do, immediately spoke excitedly when he heard Huo Zun say this.

"Of course, I’m interested, Mr. Huo, please tell me more."

"Hmm, butler, please bring the documents from my desk in the study for Mr. Hua to see."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

...

The butler listened to Huo Zun’s command and immediately headed to the study, quickly bringing back the documents Huo Zun needed.

Hua Dong took a quick glance and said excitedly, "Mr. Huo, this is a purely profitable matter... Of course, I’m interested in taking it on."

Huo Zun responded faintly, his expression calm, making it difficult to fathom his thoughts. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Hmm."

"Mr. Huo, you and Nuannuan are getting married soon, so we are all family. I’m Hua Nuan’s uncle, naturally your uncle as well. Doing business together as a family is indeed better, and family won’t deceive their own."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Listening to Hua Dong’s somewhat formulaic, ostentatious words, Hua Nuan felt somewhat uneasy.

"Actually, to tell you the truth, I came to the Huo family today to talk business with you. The Hua family hasn’t been thriving lately and needs the Huo family’s support."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun simply acknowledged, then looked at Hua Nuan, who had lowered her beautiful eyes, and said with a slight smile, "Indeed, since we’re family now, it’s better to earn profits together."

"Right, right..."

Hua Dong quickly raised his wine glass excitedly.

"Then Mr. Huo, let’s toast to business, and to your wedding with Nuannuan."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun raised his wine glass but didn’t touch Hua Dong’s glass, instead taking a sip of the red wine himself.

The taste was rich, quite decent.

Hua Nuan looked down, collecting her thoughts.

The human heart is deceitful.

Huo Zun was merely testing Hua Dong, directly revealing Hua Dong’s greed when facing business.
