Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1694 - 1692: I’m Your Husband, You Have to Look at Me (5)
Hua Nuan felt a bit of a headache and raised her hand to rub her forehead.
"Madam, are you wondering if the Hua Family has received the invitation?"
"Yes."
"Don’t worry, Madam, Mr. Huo’s actions are always impeccable."
"Yes."
Huo Zun handles matters with the utmost precision. Otherwise, how could she have stayed by his side for so many years without escaping?
...
Inside a private beachfront villa in the Philippines:
Knock knock knock!
"Come in."
With the man’s deep voice resonating, Hua Han stepped forward in a custom-made designer suit, appearing tall and robust, his shoes especially shiny black.
"Dad, did you want to see me?"
Hua Han directed his gaze toward the man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, speaking.
The voice, just like the name, was cold to the extreme.
"Just received an invitation."
The man, whom Hua Han called Dad, turned around. His stature was as tall as Hua Han’s, but due to time, he had grown a bit stout.
"Huo Zun plans to marry Hua Nuan. The wedding is set for June 1st, on Hua Nuan’s eighteenth birthday."
Hua Han: "..."
Huo Zun—everyone in both the black and white markets shudders at his name.
Considered a man who makes the world tremble.
The man’s public persona is that of a descendant of United Kingdom nobility, holding absolute control over the world’s top ten pharmaceutical companies, and he also commands the world’s most advanced technology.
One must know, the current world is ruled by technology.
Having control over technology, the man is invincible, unbeatable.
As for his identity as the King of the Night in the black market, it induces fear at the sound, and countless legendary tales can’t be fully articulated.
Guns, drugs, gems.
Huo Zun is undoubtedly the man at the pinnacle of the Pyramid.
Hua Han tried hard to control his facial expressions, but there was little success.
"Dad, what did you say?"
Huo Zun actually wants to marry Hua Nuan.
The disparity between them is not just a little—it’s vast even in terms of age alone, not to mention their social statuses.
Hua Dong looked at Hua Han’s pale face, raising a large hand to fall on the man’s shoulder.
"Huo Zun is someone who keeps his word. If he wants to marry Hua Nuan, then he is serious. This would be a grand occasion for the Hua Family, and if we can unite with the Huo Family, I suppose the Hua Family’s business will prosper."
"Dad, Xiao Nuan doesn’t want to marry him at all. Xiao Nuan is being coerced, she..."
"Enough, Hua Han, you’re not a child anymore. Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been doing—arranging people to approach the Huo Family, attempting to take Hua Nuan away, which fortunately didn’t succeed; otherwise, our Hua Family wouldn’t be able to get away with it."
Hua Han: "..."
Hua Han’s face slightly changed; the servants who came back with reports were silenced by him, so logically it shouldn’t be known, yet Hua Dong knew.
It seems everything he did was under Hua Dong’s watchful eyes.
In the 28 years being adopted by Hua Dong, Hua Han understood his temperament.
He likes to keep everything under his control.
"Yes, I understand, Dad, but Xiao Nuan is a member of the Hua Family, and if she is unwilling, we..."
"Ha, a member of the Hua Family? Hua Kun is dead. She is just a burden now. When she was auctioned at the auction, I never thought someone would throw money down to buy her. It’s rare that Huo Zun is willing to keep her by his side, and even... marry her, granting her absolute honor. What we should do now is to take this opportunity for profit, not some redemption."
Hua Dong narrowed his eyes, full of deceit and treachery, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Observing Hua Han’s hesitation, Hua Dong continued patting the man’s shoulder casually.
"Hua Han, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You’ve been searching for her for these years, trying to save her, remember, if you save her, what can you do? She’s your sister! Even though you two are not blood-related, you’re just an adopted child, you can’t be together."
Hua Han: "..."
Seeing Hua Han’s pale face, Hua Dong "kindly" reminded him.
"Besides, six years ago, when Hua Kun had the accident, you and I were involved. Considering Hua Nuan’s character, knowing the truth might lead her to retaliate more fiercely."
Hua Han: "..."
Hua Han’s face turned ghastly pale, gripping his large hand tightly.
Although Hua Dong was patting his shoulder now, all he felt was coldness on his back, almost swallowing him whole.
"Yes, thanks for the reminder, Dad, I understand."
"Since Huo Zun wants to marry Hua Nuan and Hua Kun is no longer here, I, as Hua Nuan’s family, should demand a higher bride price and take Huo Zun for a good sum."
Hua Han watched the greed flash in Hua Dong’s eyes, a touch of disgust flickered in his mind but he did not show it.
It seems that now it’s a foregone conclusion for Hua Dong that Hua Nuan should marry Huo Zun.
This matter, no matter what, he must stop it.
He watched Xiao Nuan grow up from birth to twelve years old, already deeply in love.
"Yes."
In his smugness, Hua Dong did not forget to take a good look at his adopted son. Although an adopted child, he had been by his side, contributing greatly.
Now, naturally, he had to do something to keep him.
"Hua Han, over these years, Dad has also kept Ruyi protected by not revealing her existence. Now that Ruyi is 25 years old, she should marry, and Dad knows she truly loves you, so he wants her to marry you."
Hua Han: "..."
Hua Ruyi.
Hua Dong’s biological daughter.
Her existence was hidden upon birth due to dangers in the black market, Hua Dong’s misdeeds led to concerns about Ruyi’s safety, so her identity was kept secret.
And I, as the adopted son, have been the one placed in the spotlight, leading everyone to believe I was his biological child.
Ha, this man, truly sinister in intentions.
Malicious and ruthless.
