Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1715 - 1713: Treating a Woman Like a Princess (1)
In the living room:
Huo Zun raised an indifferent eyebrow as he glanced at the man sitting uneasily in front of him, and spoke casually.
"After all, Hua Nuan’s father has passed away, Mr. Hua, I’m giving you a bit of respect by allowing you to collect this dowry for Hua Nuan, hmm, so perhaps you should consider whether to accept this hundred million or not."
Hua Dong: "..."
Originally, Hua Dong was already restless, and now hearing what Huo Zun said, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
His back was also soaked with cold sweat.
He finally understood.
He had fallen into Huo Zun’s trap.
"I..."
Seeing the man’s nervous appearance, Huo Zun’s lips curved upwards in a smile.
It seemed that he had hit on what the man was really thinking.
Previously, Hua Dong had ignored Hua Nuan, and Huo Zun would never believe the man had suddenly received news of Hua Nuan and came looking for her.
In his view, the man only wanted to seize the high dowry money.
So, having understood the man’s intent in advance, what Huo Zun needed to do now was to nip it in the bud.
He... was not running a bank.
Making money was simply for Hua Nuan to use.
...
Hua Nuan looked at Hua Dong’s troubled expression and pressed her lips together.
This hundred million was no small amount, just as the man said, it was something earned by selling everything...
So, it was normal for Hua Dong to hesitate.
Hua Nuan didn’t want Hua Dong to take the blame, to shoulder the mess Hua Kun might have made in the past.
However, if Hua Dong took this hundred million back, it would undoubtedly mean he acknowledged the marriage between Huo Zun and herself.
Pressing her lips together, Hua Nuan was about to speak when the man at her side exerted more pressure on her waist.
Meaning that Hua Dong’s decision was not something she should interfere with, and let the man choose for himself.
...
Hua Han remained silent, having previously only known of Huo Zun from rumors, and today was the first time they met. The man’s superior demeanor seemed innate.
Wise, shrewd...
Strategic.
Hua Han understood why the man stood at the top of the Pyramid despite his young age.
The man was already well aware of everyone’s thoughts. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Before Hua Dong could even make a move, Huo Zun had already made his move.
Hua Han narrowed his cold eyes, his entire presence exuding a cold aura. While a hundred million was a substantial figure in Hua Dong’s eyes, it was not an impossible sum to have at hand.
So,
if the man was not greedy, naturally he should not take it.
In that case, Hua Nuan... might still have a chance to leave Huo Zun.
Only, Huo Zun was most likely certain of Hua Dong’s character, that his greed would ensure he accepted it.
...
Hua Dong hesitated for a long time, now finding himself in a dilemma.
This hundred million naturally needed to be collected.
Judging by Huo Zun’s stance, it seemed highly likely that if he didn’t take it, Huo Zun would not offer it again.
So... how to accept this money with dignity was the big problem.
"Sigh... Mr. Huo..."
"You’re making things difficult for me..."
Huo Zun’s thin lips tugged slightly as he spoke casually, "Not at all, the one who wanted to return the hundred million to me was you... I’m just doing you a favor, you return it, and I’ll accept it."
"Since Mr. Hua seems so hesitant, then this hundred million, I’ll just..."
"No, no, no, Mr. Huo, I... I accept it, sigh, this dowry, it’s a token from the groom’s family to the bride’s family, and now that Akun is gone, Nuannuan in my eyes is like my daughter, so I will accept it."
