Chapter 98: True Cooperation
Huo You stared at He Yu for a long time before she finally saw who this person in front of her was. She pushed He Yu away and left his embrace.
“I knew you had been trying to lie to me. You got close to me just to steal my secrets, right?”
As she spoke, Huo You laughed mockingly. Her laughter grew louder and louder until it eventually became a little crazy.
“I thought that by doing things over again, I would be able to get everything I wanted. I would be able to be like Huo Tian and get a man who truly loves me. But why? Why did I meet you? He Yu, you bastard, devil! You’ve destroyed all my hopes for love and marriage!”
At that moment, Huo You seemed to have used up all her strength to vent all the frustration in her heart. Even though the bar was filled with all sorts of noise, there were still people whose attention was drawn by her shouting.
Everyone looked over curiously and realized that it was a young couple. Everyone thought that it was just a commonly-seen relationship dispute and turned around to immerse themselves in their own world. Everyone was already used to seeing relationship disputes between men and women.
He Yu’s expression darkened. He wrapped his arms around Huo You and pulled her into his embrace. Just as Huo You was about to scream, he covered her mouth and forcibly brought her out of the bar.
Huo You continued to struggle along the way. He Yu wasn’t the type to be patient and coax people. When they reached the car park, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and pushed Huo You away.
He Yu frowned and his tone was filled with disgust. “Have you had enough?”
Perhaps it was because she had gotten some wind on the way to the car park or because she felt pain when He Yu threw her onto the ground that Huo You felt a little more awake.
She looked up at He Yu and smiled self-deprecatingly. “I’m sorry to let you see how I lost my composure…”
He Yu didn’t pull Huo You up from the ground. Instead, he squatted down beside her and leveled his gaze at her. “Can you tell me now? What happened?”
Huo You turned her head and avoided He Yu’s gaze. “It’s nothing. I’m just feeling too suppressed. I came to the bar to relax.”
He Yu nodded as if he didn’t really want to care about her. “Since you’re unwilling to tell me the reason, let’s talk about another topic. How did you know the direction of Hein Corporation’s developments and even the specifics of each investment plan?”
With his reminder, Huo You seemed to remember what she had just revealed. Her face turned pale and her heart was in a mess, not knowing how to answer…
He Yu didn’t seem to have any intention of forcing Huo You to answer. He continued to say aggressively, “Also, you said that you know the Huo Family and Si Family’s business secrets. Is that true?”
Huo You pursed her lips but didn’t answer.
However, her reaction was already an answer to He Yu.
He Yu chuckled and stroked Huo You’s long hair gently. “Good girl. I used to think that you were a little smart, but you thought that you were extraordinary. Now, it seems that I’ve misjudged you. You’re definitely not as simple as you seem. I think you’re qualified to be my business partner now.”
Huo You understood the meaning behind He Yu’s words and glared at him. “You hadn’t taken our cooperation seriously at all previously, did you?”
A scornful smile appeared on He Yu’s face as if he was mocking Huo You for not having any self-awareness. He didn’t hold back at all when he spoke too.
“What bargaining chips do you think you have to talk to me about cooperation? I’m only playing house with you because of the small ideas you occasionally come up with that are considered interesting.”
Huo You slapped He Yu’s hand away angrily.
However, He Yu wasn’t angry at all. He continued to say in a doting tone, “But things are different now. I know now that you have amazing talent. No matter what methods you used to steal the business secrets you know or if you deduced them based on the clues you found, the ability you have shown has impressed me. Good girl, we will definitely work well together in the future.”
He stretched his hand out in front of Huo You and waited for her to shake it. Huo You stared at his hand for a long time. Although she was furious, she still reached out and shook his hand. This time, they had truly reached an agreement. He Yu had placed Huo You on the same level as him.
“I’ve always felt that women who only have beautiful faces and wonderful figures are very boring. I won’t waste too much time on them. In the past, I thought you were such a girl too. It’s just that compared to ordinary beautiful girls, you have an additional extraordinary family background. But now, your appearance, your family background, and your brain have all become incomparably beautiful accessories on you. Huo You, I’ve become completely infatuated with you…”
