"...When are you planning to have the wedding... oh, right, you're probably not of legal marrying age in our country... looks like you'll have to register in the States first, or maybe you could just have the wedding there, do you need me to arrange that... good heavens, does that mean I can see him every day... by the way, does he know about your writer identity..."
Julie fired off a barrage of questions, causing Chu Nanxi to frown.
"Calm down! These are the terms he negotiated with the Chu Family, I'm just going to deal with him for a few days, not actually marry him."
Thinking of that kiss, Chu Nanxi's fingers lightly brushed the scar—the place where Li Hannian had kissed.
"If one day you can't contact me, remember to call the police."
Li Hannian had actually kissed her scar, this wasn't something a normal person would do.
This man was twisted, she had to be on guard!
"This..." Julie's expression grew solemn, "Could there be danger?"
"I'll protect myself."
Julie understood Chu Nanxi's personality and the current situation of the Chu Family.
The reason Chu Nanxi had to transfer schools to return home was for her grandfather and the Chu Family.
After wiping the corners of her lips with a tissue, Julie couldn't help but raise her face.
"Then... can you get me his autograph?"
Chu Nanxi rolled her eyes.
"No!"
Her boss was about to enter the wolf's den, and she was still thinking about getting the Little Devil's autograph!
Julie put on a forced smile and raised a finger.
"Last question."
"Ask."
"When exactly did you two meet? I had no idea."
Out of nowhere, Li Hannian would not have fixated on Chu Nanxi for no reason; there must be some history between them.
As Chu Nanxi's assistant, having been by her side for over a year and not knowing about her entanglement with such a figure of influence—it was an insult to her role as an assistant.
Chu Nanxi leaned back into the sofa.
"Who knows!"
That guy picked her out as soon as he came to the Chu Family, it couldn't have been a spur-of-the-moment decision.
And yet, Chu Nanxi racked her brain but couldn't fathom why he'd chosen her.
She glanced at her watch, grabbed her motorcycle keys, and stood up from the sofa.
"I'm leaving first; call me if you need anything."
It was getting late, and it was time to retrieve her shares.
As for why Li Hannian had picked her...
The answer should come tonight!
...
...
The Chu Family's ancestral home.
When Chu Nanxi walked in, all the members of the Chu family were present, as well as two unmistakable lawyers. They were gathered around one side of the large sofa, some sitting, some standing, each with eyes like a tiger stalking its prey.
That demeanor, as if they couldn't wait to tear her to pieces.
Facing the Chu Family's "all-star lineup," Chu Nanxi wasn't the least bit intimidated.
Walking over, she sat on the opposite small sofa, lounged back lazily, crossed her legs, and lightly tapped her fingers on the armrest.
"Where are my shares!"
The elder Chu Wenhui lifted his chin slightly, and a lawyer circled the coffee table, handing over a pre-prepared contract to her.
This contract between her and the Chu Family stipulated that if she didn't follow the rules and go to the Li Family, or if she ran away midway, she would have to return those shares.
Chu Nanxi took the document, read it carefully, swiftly signed her name, and tossed it onto the table.
"The stocks!"
The lawyer looked at Chu Wenhui, then placed the prepared stock documents beside Chu Nanxi.
Chu Nanxi extended her right hand and pinched the documents.
Slap!
Chu Wenhui's hand came down hard, pressing on that end of the document.
