Beg Me to Remarry-Chapter 133 - has no right to interfere
Chapter 133: 133 has no right to interfere
Chapter 133: 133 has no right to interfere
The Huangpu couple’s faces grew increasingly unable to hide their discomfort. Fu Han was Su Cheng’s girlfriend, and seeing how infatuated Su Cheng was, it seemed likely that she would become the daughter-in-law of the Huangpu Family in the future.
Just imagine, if the Huangpu Family’s daughter-in-law were to be called siblings with her ex-fiancé and frequented visits, how could the Huangpu Family maintain their dignity in the business world?
Mrs. Huangpu snorted coldly and spoke up first, “Fu Han, aren’t your ties with He Xing a little too close? In my opinion, you should avoid giving off the wrong impression. Otherwise, where does that leave my son’s face?”
Her tone was entirely devoid of the gentle demeanor of Mrs. Nangong, instead filled with a cutting arrogance, like that of a superior looking down on an inferior.
Fu Han felt a strong aversion in her heart. She thought to herself, Su Cheng, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, only to hear her reply indifferently, “Auntie, I believe I have my own right to choose, and others have no right to interfere.”
Mrs. Huangpu’s expression grew frosty, just as she was about to retort.
Mrs. Nangong hurriedly interjected with a laugh, “That’s right, they are all adults and have their own rights. As long as they aren’t doing anything illegal or disorderly, we seniors shouldn’t interfere.”
With these words, she skillfully deflected the issue at hand.
Su Cheng now regretted everything deeply, feeling that he shouldn’t have let his parents meet Fu Han without any prior explanation, which turned out to be extremely awkward.
He didn’t care whether everyone had finished eating, with a loud hurrying, he quickly ushered everyone to leave, using the excuse that they had to get up early for work the next day to take the four elders away, claiming to find them a hotel.
As for Nan Qing, she had agreed to share a room with Fu Han, so she returned with Fu Han. Accompanying them were Luo Qinghe and Bai Wei.
Luo Qinghe was driving, Bai Wei sat in the passenger seat, while Fu Han and Nan Qing occupied the backseat.
The journey from the restaurant to the hotel took about twenty minutes. Everyone was preoccupied with their thoughts and remained silent.
Upon arriving at the top floor of the hotel, they wished each other good night and went to their separate rooms.
After Fu Han and Nan Qing finished showering, they lay on the couch with their face masks on, chatting intermittently.
Suddenly, Nan Qing turned slightly to look at Fu Han, “Fu Han, what’s the relationship between Bai Wei and Brother Qinghe now?”

Fu Han felt a stir in her heart as she propped herself up on the sofa to face Nan Qing, “You know that Bai Wei likes Brother Qinghe, right?”
“I know.” Nan Qing nodded, her expression unchanging.
Fu Han nervously inquired, “Then, do you think they are suitable for each other?”
Nan Qing’s expression became somewhat complicated, and after a while, she smiled, “I think they are quite a good match. Bai Wei seems like she knows how to have fun, and they share similar interests. In the future, they’ll both be stars, so they’ll have more in common. Isn’t that great?”
The room fell silent after her words, only the soothing music from the record player slowly wafted through the air.
In that moment, Fu Han’s emotions became very complex. She had something to say but was uncertain if she should. Finally, she spoke up, “Nan Qing, do you know that the person Luo Qinghe has always liked is you? He’s a great guy… Are you sure you don’t want to consider him?”
Her words seemed to sink into the abyss, as she waited quite a while without a response from Nan Qing.
Just as she thought Nan Qing wouldn’t reply, Nan Qing suddenly spoke up, “Fu Han, I’m different from you. Love shouldn’t be compromised. If I cannot be with the person I like, I’ll never be happy in this life.”
Nan Qing fell asleep next to Fu Han, but Fu Han kept pondering her words, “Better to be a broken piece of jade than an unblemished piece of pottery.” There is only love and no love in romance, without a third option. It’s either black or white; there are no shades of grey.
As for herself, she knew she didn’t like Su Cheng, yet she chose to be in a contract relationship with him to avoid He Xing, using the term “contract” to lessen her sense of guilt, never daring to face the harm she had caused Su Cheng.
In reality, her entanglement with He Xing had never ceased since returning to City A, even after she had called off the engagement.
And then there was Nan Qing’s phrase that echoed like a thunderbolt in her mind, “the person I like.”
She wondered whom she truly liked. It was certain she simply saw Su Cheng as a friend; as for He Xing, he was her youthful joy, the person who had influenced her emotions for so many years, yet he was also the source of her pain, and she couldn’t easily summarize her feelings with a simple like or dislike.
In any case, the most prominent stroke in the story of her life was definitely drawn by He Xing.
…
In City A, He Group.
Night had fallen, and the winter night sky was filled with stars. The night was like a piece of black velvet, against which the stars shone like diamonds.
He Xing stood before a floor-to-ceiling window gazing at the night sky, his black pupils darker than the night itself, akin to black vortexes capable of absorbing everything in the world.
He had left H City after lunch today. Before leaving, he promised Fu Han that he would return after the meeting.
Although Fu Han’s demeanor was as lukewarm as ever, he didn’t mind, knowing she was still mad at him. Once her anger subsided, they could go back to how things were before.
In the past, he took Fu Han for granted and didn’t cherish her, which led to her leaving in sadness; now it was different. She had returned, and he was determined to restore everything to the way it was.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and Liang Tao entered, his expression grave.
With an impassive face, He Xing asked, “How is the situation being handled?”
“Mr. He, the PR department is still in contact with the client. We are currently trying to fix the bug, but this might take a couple of days. Are you returning to H City or staying here?” Liang Tao’s voice was as respectful as ever, tinged with a hint of fear.
He Xing glanced at the starry sky outside where clouds had gathered, hiding the stars from view and leaving behind an inky black night.
A hurt look flashed across his eyes, yet his voice became even more resolute, “I’ll go back to H City after we settle this matter.”
The He Group had encountered a complaint regarding a major project they had started. It was reported that their operations were flawed, involving regulatory breaches and false pricing.
This issue was neither large nor small; in any standard project, if a single person commits a breach, the entire operation can be deemed non-compliant. But this doesn’t mean the project itself is flawed.
The serious issue was the false pricing, which not only involved integrity but could also affect future cooperation between the parties.
Mainly because it was a significant project and it had always been under He Xing’s supervision, he had to rush back from H City to handle it. After an afternoon of meetings, they were left with equivocal results. The situation seemed likely to be sabotage against the He Group. Not only did they have to resolve the integrity issue, but they also had to find out who was trying to trip them up behind the scenes.
