Extreme Love

Seeing Lin Ting's cheeks bulging with food, Lu Tingxuan couldn't help but laugh.

His tone was a little frivolous: "You are like the little puffer fish in the fish tank."

Both tempting and dangerous.

He can only be more careful and cautious.

Lin Ting almost choked: "Are you saying I'm poisonous?"

Lu Tingxuan twitched his eyebrows. The initially charming atmosphere was extinguished by her words.

He lowered his head, held out his chopsticks, and slowly said two words to her: "Eat."

Lin Ting wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full. I'll go to the study and wait for you. You'd better prepare your words in advance."

Lu Tingxuan smiled and said, "That's good. They will give you a warning in advance."

When he arrived at the study, Lin Ting was sitting in the middle with a calm expression, as if he was ready to accuse someone.

For a moment, he almost had an illusion that the person sitting in front of him was Mrs. Cather.

During his time in Europe, in addition to discussing projects, Lu Tingxuan spent more time waiting outside the manor where Mrs. Cather lived.

There was very little information about Mrs. Cather. Apart from finding her residential address in Europe, Lu Tingxuan knew no more than Lin Ting.

Perhaps it was his persistence that touched Mrs. Cather.

Led by Mrs. Cather's assistant, Lu Tingxuan came to a small courtyard in the manor.

Mrs. Cather sat quietly in a wicker rocking chair, surrounded by roses in full bloom, as if shutting out the world's chaos and noise. The sun gently shone on her white dress, and her entire body exuded a graceful elegance, a purity so enchanting that it was impossible to look away.

This was the first time he met Mrs. Cather.

Mrs. Cather closed the book with a slightly yellowed cover in her hand and looked up at Lu Tingxuan.

Who could imagine that a man in his fifties would act like a woman in her early thirties?

For a moment, Lu Tingxuan felt as if he was in another world, as if he saw Lin Ting after being baptized by the years.

She waved gently to Lu Tingxuan, indicating that he should sit next to her.

Lu Tingxuan saw the indwelling needle on the back of her hand, and a complex expression flashed in his eyes: "I'm sorry that I have to bother you so many times since you were ill."

Before, Mrs. Cather always refused to meet with Lu Tingxuan on the grounds of being unwell.

Lu Tingxuan originally thought that this was her excuse for not wanting to cooperate with him.

"My body has always been like this." Mrs. Cather's voice was gentle but firm. "But before that, I really don't want to see you."

Lu Tingxuan sat aside with a complicated expression.

Mrs. Cather added: “Before, my disagreement with your proposal does not mean that I am unwilling to cooperate with you.

Lu Tingxuan: "You mean you are willing to cooperate with me."

"Jiamao's equity is insignificant to me, and it's of no consequence." Mrs. Cather's eyes were penetrating. "However, it's a taboo to rashly reveal your cards before knowing the other party's intentions. You've been in the business world for many years, so you know this."

Lu Tingxuan frowned. When he learned that some of Jiamao's shareholders had unusual movements, he immediately investigated. The shareholders were very tight-lipped, as if someone was holding them by their finger, and they dared not reveal even a single word.

Later, he used some means and found out that it was the work of the Imperial Union Group, which has risen in the Australian region in recent years.

At that time, he had only one thought: the other party was coming with great momentum. In order to maintain his dominance over Jiamao, he could only compete with them by winning the equity or trusteeship rights from Mrs. Cather.

However, they never thought deeply about why the first thing the other party did when they came to Binhai was to use all means to deal with a company that had a deep foundation but was out of touch with the times.

This is completely contrary to the business philosophy of the Dilian Group.

"Although I'm not in China, I've heard a little about the Dilian Group. Dilian's rapid development into a business empire in recent years is entirely due to Han Yan alone." Mrs. Cather's eyes revealed deep insight. "He's personally taking action against Jiamao, so it's definitely not a simple takeover battle. Until they reveal their true colors, we can only wait and see."

Lu Tingxuan: "I didn't think it through."

Mrs. Cather: "You are not being inconsiderate. You are being over-considerate. You have locked yourself in a cage and become complacent."

Lu Tingxuan's mouth curled up slightly. "Since my status has restricted Jiamao's reform, and now someone is willing to rush forward to be the "good guy," if I continue to stop them, it would be a bit ungrateful."
