A Beautiful Misunderstanding

Chapter 383 The Political Marriage (Part Two)

Zac was a thoughtful man. He had done a thorough investigation of South Africa and prepared her for everything. The old mayor, who had gotten off the stage, was not in favor of him at all. It was pointless no matter how good they built the relationship with him.

Bles was rendered speechless when he saw that his words had been replied with justified reason. His face darkened as he said, "Mr. Li called me yesterday. He said he wanted to stay in South Africa for a year. He wanted to earn more money for the baby. Could you keep him there for one more year?"

"Are Mr. Li familiar with you, uncle Bles?" Essie said.

"No, we met each other several times when he was in China before," Bles waved his hand and equivocated.

"Really?" Essie raised her eyebrows, revealing her confused. "Perhaps he still remembers uncle Bles vividly. Otherwise, he didn't even report to me on such an important matter, instead he report to you."

Sensing the skepticism in her words, Bles's eyes flickered slightly. He explained hurriedly, "Previously, your daddy asked me to run the Millennium Group for a while. At that time, he was only a department manager. He often went to report work to me and was more familiar with me. You took office recently and he is in South Africa. He can't help but feel a little nervous since he hasn't seen you. So he wants to have a talk with me and learn more about the group."

With a nod, Essie hid her doubtful look and pretended to believe what he said. "He won't be back so soon. He has to assist the new CEO to hand over his work. We'll talk about it after he takes care of the group's affairs. If he behaves during his tenure, I will think about it. " Her words were just perfunctory. How could Bles's smuggle thing be done without his involvement. After he came back home, he would be sent to prison.

However, she completely avoided talking of the smuggling of diamonds, pretending that she did not know at all, as if it was just a normal personnel transfer. Bles was a little confused. He wondered whether she knew it or not?

If she hadn't made it clear to him, he would have said nothing. If she had no idea of it, and he talked about it in front of her, wouldn't he shot himself in the foot?

"You are no worse than your father when he was young. Unfortunately, you are a woman after all. Sooner or later, the Xu group will be handed over to the real leader." He sighed, "You'd better be gentle from now on. Don't make too many enemies. It's not good for you."

He put it this way, as if it was a kind suggestion, but actually it was a warning. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

How could Essie not understand the implication in his words? She sighed too and said, "I just want nothing to be done and smoothly pass this period. But it's a pity that even I'm unmoved, and my enemies are always against me. They even want to kill me. I don't like to scramble, but when a rabbit is forced to corner, it will jump up and bite. Don't you think so? Now that some villains want to frame our Xu family, I can only fight against them to the end. Even if they want to destroy me, they will never take our company away from me." Her voice became extremely cold, and the air in the office suddenly became freezing, forcing people to freeze.

"I've heard about your injury." Bles said with concern, "Who are those people? They are so vicious. You are a weak woman, and it's really hard for you to run the Xu group alone. Besides, your uncles are not interested in business, and know nothing about business. I don't think they can help you with anything."

Essie picked up the porcelain cup on the tea table and took a slow sip of the tea. With a calm look on her face, she said, "Uncle Bles, have you watched the famous hit TV show 'The Legend of Miyue' recently? It's said that after being expelled from the state of Qin, that woman married the prince of Yiqu.

She launched the counterattack with the help of the prince of Yiqu, in which her son was appointed to the throne."

She paused for a moment and continued, "If my power is inferior to an enemy's, I can imitate the political marriage as Miyue. Although I have divorced with Zac, the other two families are both trying their best to pursue me. Their power in the Dragon City is not much weaker than that of the Rong family. With their help, I don't believe that we can't defeat several mice hiding in the ditch." That was a threat from her. Don't push her too hard, or she can do everything.

Hearing that, Bles's mouth twitched. He said, "You need to think twice before you make a decision. I heard that you and Mr. Xia fell in love with each other. Is it worth ruining your marriage for the sake of the Xu group?"

Essie sighed, "Well, you see, the daughter of a wealthy family seems to have an infinitely glamorous life on the surface, but in fact, only a few of them could choose to marry the one they

loved. To put it in a good way, it is to marry a man who comes from a family of equal status with our family, but they are actually united by a political marriage. My two aunts have the same result. Although we can't take over the family business, we have devoted more to the family than men. What we have sacrificed is our own marriage and happiness."

Her tone was determined, and it seemed that she was helpless. Bles knew that she was not joking. His niece was much more tenacious than he had imagined, more considerate, and more dangerous to him.
