The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 847 - 862: Clearly She’s Hopelessly Foolish, Isn’t She?

"But we don’t have a blood relationship, we can get married and be together."

(Haha, President Qi, you weren’t like this at first, are you starting to turn dark now?)

Qi Weidong pointed angrily at Qi Shangyu: "If you insist on being so obstinate, I certainly won’t stand by and watch."

Qi Shangyu didn’t speak, and his calm face showed no extra expression.

Only after watching Qi Weidong leave the office in anger did he take out his phone to make a call.

So far, Qi Shangyu has secured quite a few shareholders, but he still isn’t fully capable of toppling Qi Weidong.

In the café, Xia Mo gently stirred her coffee with a spoon, lifted the white cup, and took a small sip: "Nancy, Aunt Li has already told me everything about the company, why didn’t you come to me?"

Qi Shangyu, sitting across with his legs crossed, gently tapped the table with his finger: "I don’t want to base our relationship on interests, that wouldn’t be fair to you."

"Us being together is what the adults want, I’ve never thought to force you into anything, do you really think I’m someone who would take advantage of the situation?"

Xia Mo is retreating to advance, hoping to make a good impression on Qi Shangyu, and then gradually win him over.

This tactic was also taught to her by Li Jiaxue, who said if you want to win a man’s heart, you need to play the long game and be patient enough.

Qi Shangyu’s lips curled into a faint smile, his enigmatic gaze fixed on Xia Mo: "I just don’t want to owe you, afraid I won’t be able to pay you back in the future."

Xia Mo placed her polished nails on the table, smiling as she spoke: "I don’t need you to pay me back, I just hope you can get everything you want. I’ll have my dad reach out to your company’s shareholders when I get back."

"Thank you, then. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime."

"Sure, it’s a deal."

After leaving the café and watching Xia Mo drive away, Qi Shangyu took out his phone from his pocket and called Li Jiaxue, telling her that Xia Mo has been settled.

It turns out this was all an act by the mother and son. Qi Shangyu couldn’t persuade those shareholders, so he had to turn to the Xia Family for help, but absolutely refused to let anything happen with Xia Mo, thus the charade.

Xia Mo thought she was being clever, but she was really unaware of the bigger scheme at play.

After getting home, Xia Mo explained everything to Xia Wanming and urged him to quickly engage with people, insisting on finding a way to make them all side with Qi Shangyu.

Xia Wanming knew his daughter liked Qi Shangyu, helping that guy unconditionally meant his daughter might end up with nothing, so he was understandably unwilling to agree.

"If Qi Shangyu can’t get engaged to you, I won’t agree to help."

"Oh come on, Dad, just listen to me. I don’t just want him; I want his heart too. I want him to willingly marry me, so hurry up and help him. Your daughter isn’t foolish, I won’t make deals at a loss."

Xia Mo clung to Xia Wanming’s arm, acting very coy.

"Girl, wise up. How in the world aren’t you foolish? You’re being completely naive!"

With only one daughter, Xia Wanming was eventually worn down and had to agree after her persistent pleading.

In a private room at a club that evening, Xia Wanming met with a few friends he has a close personal relationship with, all of whom are shareholders in Qi Shangyu’s company.
