Bold and passionate love: Acting coquettishly in Mr. Huo's arms

Unfortunately, she was facing Huo Yan, a man with a heart of steel.

"I don't need it." His black eyes were filled with indifference, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Miss Fan, don't bother."

"This originally belonged to Brother Chen. I'm here to return it to its original owner." Fan Wanqing looked disappointed as she opened the box to reveal the contents.

It is a familiar watch, with sharp edges and corners that reveal a low-key noble luxury, and its simplicity is filled with masculine coldness.

It's Huo Yan's style.

It was clearly the piece that Huo Yan donated at the last charity dinner.

Fan Wanqing looked at him cautiously, full of anticipation: "I missed the auction at the dinner party, so I specially found a buyer and bought it at a high price. Brother Shen, you will accept it, right?"

She left in anger at the time, but later found out that the watch had been bought by someone else, so she bought it back at twice the price.

Huo Yan frowned, his eyes strangely cold. "Put the watch down, I will transfer the money to Miss Fan in full."

This was his personal property. It would have been fine if it had been bought at an auction, but now that it had been bought by Fan Wanqing, he was in a dilemma.

"I don't want money." Fan Wanqing's eyes were filled with tears. She put the watch on the table and said softly, "I bought this for Brother Shen."

"Do you really need to give away the donated items?" Huo Qianqian felt extremely disgusted and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you trying to annoy?"

"I, I don't mean anything else."

Biting her lower lip hard, Fan Wanqing sniffed and whispered, "Brother Shen, you know this too, right? I, I'm about to get engaged to Cheng Min."

Her eyes were full of reluctance and pain: "My father and Cheng Min both want to take over the Chengdong project, and marriage is already on the agenda. This, let's think of it as my last gift to Brother Shen."

“I hope Brother Shen can remember that I will always like you very much.”

After saying that, she covered her face and ran out crying.

"Is she acting in a Qiong Yao drama?" Huo Qianqian was stunned. She clenched her left fist and pounded it against her right palm. "Doesn't she feel embarrassed? As a bystander, I get goosebumps all over the floor."

"Throw away this watch."

Huo Yan frowned, looked at the box with disgust and disdain, and said coldly: "Throw it away."

Sister Chen responded promptly, with a beaming look on her face, and happily threw the valuable watch into the trash can.

Huo Xiaoning subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Ruan Xingchen's expression.

Her face was solemn, her beautiful long eyebrows were furrowed, and she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Sister-in-law." Huo Xiaoning was startled and said hurriedly, "There's nothing wrong between my brother and Miss Fan. Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand!"

"That's right, sister-in-law. It was all just nonsense when we were little. Who knew she could remember it for so long?" Huo Qianqian was also shocked and hurriedly explained, "You don't know how hard she cried before she went abroad. She held on to my brother's legs and wouldn't let go. My brother had no choice but to..."

Although the eldest brother who always competes with them for their eldest sister-in-law is annoying, without the annoying eldest brother, where would the eldest sister-in-law be?!

At the critical moment, she still knew the difference and spared no effort to speak well of her elder brother.

"That's not it." Ruan Xingchen's eyes were deep as he pondered carefully: "The project in the east of the city that Ms. Fan mentioned just now, is it about the development of the old city?"

"You know?" Huo Cen nodded.

Recently, a document was issued from above to develop the old city area in H City.

On one side is the relatively faster-developing Dongcheng District, and on the other side is the Xicheng District, which has a long history, old buildings, and even extends to countless shanty towns and slums. Many experts and scholars are debating this.

Many companies have even joined the game.

Ruan Xingchen was so impressed because she had also experienced this struggle in her previous life.

After all, the Zhong family is not ranked high in H City and has no decisive influence on this project.

It was Zhong Shaoyang who put in a lot of effort with her and took advantage of the favorable situation before they could get a share of the pie.

In the novel, it was by winning the development plan of Dongcheng District that Gu Zhao defeated Gu Jiu and was officially recognized as the head of the Gu family.

"Which area do you prefer to develop, Mr. Huo?" Ruan Xingchen asked tentatively, clenching his fists. "Such a big thing, will the Huo family also be involved?"

"I'm more optimistic about Xicheng District. Its combination of tradition and modernity is more distinctive in China. And the environment in Xicheng District should be further improved."

Huo Yan lowered his eyelids to hide the ambition in his eyes: "It seems that Cheng Min is more optimistic about Dongcheng District."

Dongcheng District tends to be modern, connected to various railways and highways, with developed transportation and easier access to profits.

Ruan Xingchen's heart moved slightly.

In her previous life, she could only go with the flow. In this life, can she also fight for Xicheng District?

On the other hand, the Gu family was also in a fierce dispute over this project.

"I told you, Dongcheng District has more competitive advantages. We should make more preparations to take over Dongcheng District." Gu Zhao pursed his lips, his expression arrogant and determined. "What's the mess in Xicheng District? The higher-ups aren't stupid. This is development, not poverty alleviation!"

"Xicheng District has a rich historical heritage and can definitely adopt a nostalgic style."

Gu Jiu was wearing a smart women's suit, which made her look particularly sharp and neat. "Besides, economic development cannot be neglected. Xicheng District also needs this opportunity to keep up with the city's development."

"Do you think you're doing charity?" Gu Zhao sneered, "Long hair, short knowledge. Women are just soft-hearted. Nonsense."

"Gu Zhao!" Gu Jiu frowned, anger flashing in his eyes. "I'm debating with you face to face to see who can convince Grandpa first. If you can refute it, then refute it. Why are you attacking me for my gender?"

"Low-level."

She has always disliked her cousin's arrogant look. He has a sullen face all day long, as if he is the most powerful person in the world.

"Gu Jiu, look carefully at who you are talking to!" Gu Zhao's face was not looking good either, and he raised the corner of his lips coldly: "You said I was gender-bashing, why don't you look at the proposal you made? It's a mess and makes no sense. We are doing business, not charity!"

"Indecisive and careless, Gu is a businessman, not a philanthropist!"

"That's the result of my comprehensive consideration!" Gu Jiu was even more angry at not being respected. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Zhao, I am your competitor now! Please look at me squarely, instead of treating me as your subordinate."

What is he proud of?

"Okay, stop arguing."

"Bang." As the teacup was placed heavily on the coffee table, Mr. Gu finally spoke.

His eyes were cloudy but sharp, and his wrinkled face was filled with wisdom. He said in a deep voice, "I'm here to convince you, not to watch you quarrel."

"Grandpa." Gu Jiu bit his lip and lowered his head.

"She's just unreasonable." Gu Zhao sat upright on the sofa, rolling up his sleeves indifferently: "Grandpa, you're just wasting your time by letting my cousin compete with me."
