“Come in, I really want to eat here.” Monique pulled his hand in a coquettish manner.Monique led him to a decent-looking table and wiped down the surface and stools with a tissue. Only then, Henry finally sat down, albeit unwillingly.Monique walked to the counter and ordered two servings of meatball bolognese; one big and one small.After ordering, Monique glanced around the shop while she walked back to her seat. There was not much of a difference. The shop owner was still the same, just a little bit older.Right after Monique sat down, Henry glared at her and said, “Are you so stingy that you have to treat me to this?”Monique chuckled, revealing her dimples, “There used to be a market opposite this shop. When I was younger, my grandfather would always bring me here for a plate of meatball bolognese after we finished buying groceries from the market. The appetizing sauce and tender meatballs combined into a plate of deliciousness.”Monique swallowed visibly at the thought of
Monique rebutted without lifting her head, “You’re so finicky.”She went on and grabbed a whole lot of pasta with her fork and blew on it.Henry scoffed. “How big is your mouth? Can you even fit all that?”Before he could even finish, he heard a loud slurping noise. Monique stuffed all of the pasta into her mouth.Her mouth was puffed up as she gleefully chewed. Her satisfaction in that moment was indescribable.Looking at her satisfied face, a pang of hunger hit Henry. The meatball bolognese was especially fragrant.Monique was amused when she saw that he wanted to taste it but was too embarrassed to say. She scooped a spoonful of sauce and brought it near his mouth. “It’s really tasty. Try it.”Henry frowned and pursed his lips as he stared at the spoon in front of him.However, Monique was not discouraged by his reaction. Her hand remained in the same position while she pouted and tried to persuade him. “You’re the first man to come here with me other than my grandfather. Go
The way he got angry was similar to Angel--not allowing others to take their food away.Monique looked at Henry with a smile.“I’m eating this because I don’t want you to overeat,” Henry added.Monique smirked and gave him a condescending look, as if she was telling him to hurry up and eat.Henry picked up the cutlery and, forgetting about his hygiene concerns, started inhaling the pasta.Nothing felt better than freely eating with another person. When Monique finished her food, she heard a magnetic voice, “I’ll have one more please. A big one.”Monique suppressed her giggle and said in a serious manner, “Actually, it’s not that spectacular. The taste is pretty average… How about we just stop here?”Henry glared and teased, “Are you that stingy? This portion isn’t enough for me.”Monique stuck her tongue out. “I don’t see you eating this much normally.”“Normally… I…I didn’t have breakfast this morning,” Henry said sheepishly.“Hmm.” Monique nodded her head patronizingly and
When they passed by a shop that sold grilled and deep-fried snacks, Monique could not resist.“You can’t eat that. You just recovered,” Henry said with a frown.“I’ll just have a taste.” Monique looked at him pitifully. “It’s been forever since I had it.”“How can you stuff so much food in your stomach? Aren’t you full from the pasta?” Henry mocked.Monique pouted. “This isn’t filling at all.” Then, she ran into the shop before Henry could say anything further. He had no choice but to stand outside and wait for her.He stood there leisurely. His flawless figure made young passersby gasp when they saw him. “He’s incredibly handsome!”“Is he a celebrity?”“He’s more attractive than a celebrity.”One of the girls took out their phone to take a picture of him, thinking that he would go viral if they posted it online.Henry glanced at them with a sharp gaze, exuding a kingly aura that overwhelmed them.They were frightened and dared not stare at him directly, not to mention take p
Henry Moore, you bastard!This was clearly his revenge.He was taking revenge because she went on a blind date.He wanted to make a fool out of her.However, saying that she was his girlfriend was much better than announcing to everyone that she was his lover.Monique looked at Simon awkwardly and saw a hint of sadness flash across his eyes. She felt a little melancholy, but she put up a smile and said, “This is Henry Moore.”Then, she introduced Simon to Henry proudly, “This is Simon Leeds, my high school class monitor. He was our class monitor for three years in a row!”Henry’s expression darkened.When Simon snapped out of his daze, he returned to his usual cheerful self and politely offered a handshake. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Moore.”The expression on Henry’s flawless face was unreadable. He ignored him and ate another piece of the snack.Simon’s hand froze in mid-air, not knowing what to do next.Monique glared at Henry. She thought of reaching out to resolve the embarr
‘That’s not possible. You must be hallucinating, Monique,’ she thought to herself.How could Simon be provoking Henry? He was smiling so warmly.Monique tugged her lips and laughed dryly, “Yeah, I love it. I didn’t know what it was when I was younger. I pestered my grandfather to buy it for me just because it was tasty and I was hooked.”After that, she reached out to take a piece, but Henry lifted his hand and said with a flirtatious and devilish smile, “It’s unhealthy. You shouldn’t eat it.”He said it as if he was a caring boyfriend who was very much infatuated with her.He was unfazed by Simon’s words.Monique fell into a daze, but she quickly remembered something and her eyes darkened instantly. She was afraid that Henry would say something about being his lover and shame her.He was capable of doing anything if he was angry.Monique turned around and politely smiled, “Uh, Simon. We’re about to leave now.”Simon urged, “How about a coffee?”Monique replied with a smile,
Henry was instantly reminded of the disgusting sensation of the larvae juices…He gagged at the thought of it and his stomach began to churn.This damnable woman!He rushed to the rubbish bin in front and, with a retch, he emptied the contents of his stomach, including the food that he ate that afternoon.Seeing him vomit, Monique immediately ran toward the convenience store. Henry stared at her back with a death glare, thinking that she was trying to escape.How dare she run away after making him puke his guts out? He went after her in long strides.Monique found the mineral water shelf and bent down to take a bottle.Henry was blinded by rage, thinking that Monique was trying to hide down there.Before she could straighten her back, someone hoisted her up.The person was very rough. Monique spun around immediately and yelled, “Who’s that! What are you doing!”“Are you trying to run away? Where did you think you were going?” Henry’s voice was cruel and cold. “Were you thinki
Monique’s pale face was covered in tears. She could still clearly remember the way her aunt and cousin treated her ever since she returned to that place. Her aunt’s words from yesterday stung her heart deeply. “No one wants you! Why did you come back?”She was an unwanted child, cast aside by her parents. She did not even have the chance to know what her father looked like.At the very least, her uncle still cared for her. However, her uncle and aunt would end up fighting whenever she visited them. She knew that she was not welcome there. Likely from that day onward, she would not have the courage to go back anymore.Her beloved grandfather had passed away. He would not come back, even if she cried her heart out over his grave.She had no one to turn to--no place to go. Even though she had been to the places that her grandfather used to take her, she still felt a ceaseless tide of sadness.She did not want to face anybody from her past as she was about to become someone’s lover.
"Monique, don't cry..." Su Chen's blood kept gushing out from the wound, and he felt colder and colder.He even felt difficult to raise his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Monique's eyes."Brother, stop talking. The ambulance will come soon!" Monique reached out her hands to press the wound for him, trying to slow down the bleeding.But the blood kept flowing out from between her fingers...Su Chen shook his head, indicating for Monique to stop wasting her energy."Monique... you really... ahem, don't you remember me?" Su Chen was struggling to even say a word."What?" Monique didn't understand what he meant."I saw you... when you were very young... Have you forgotten? You promised to be... my bride..."Su Chen's words made Monique frown. She didn't remember making such an agreement with someone.Bai Bingbing was shocked by Su Chen's words.It turned out that the little girl Su Chen had mentioned to her was Monique!That was the only time Su Chen had mentioned hi
Monique, whom the two men had been longing for, was found by Bai Bingbing."Miss. Bai, why are you here?"Monique had never seen her since Gu Linbei's wedding.Today, Bai Bingbing made Monique feel very strange.Bai Bingbing, who appeared in front of others, always had delicate makeup and was talking and laughing.However, today's Bai Bingbing had a plain face, and she had not even taken care of her hair.For a moment, she was worried that Bai Bingbing would come to her because of something."I have something to talk to Mrs. Moore alone. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"Bai Bingbing's words made Monique instinctively miss her because of Su Chen.However, Henry had repeatedly warned her not to be with Su Chen alone."Is it possible that he has something to do with Su Chen?"Monique thought about it and made an appointment with Bai Bingbing at a crowded cafe.She also sent a message to Henry.By the time Henry received the message, Su Chen had already arrived at Su Ente
"Monique didn't come." Henry spoke as he could read Su Chen's mind without hesitation.Su Chen didn't care and looked away calmly.He looked at Su Zhenxing and the man beside him.He was really Su Zhenxing's partner, the secretary of Su Chen's biological father, David."When did David return?" Su Chen's tone was gentle and normal, as if he was really chatting with them."I just arrived last night." David answered Su Chen, but her eyes were full of worry."Chen, did you really do this?" Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen and asked sadly."Yes!" Su Chen did not know what Su Zhenxing was asking.But no matter what they were, they had something to do with him.From the time he was adopted by Su Chen, to the time he returned to his country and met Monique, to the time he met Henry.Even the kidnapping of Monique abroad was arranged by him alone.Therefore, no matter what Su Zhenxing was asking about, Su Chen would agree.Su Zhenxing had a lot to say to Su Chen, but he didn't know whe
This was not the worst result.Just as Bai Bingbing was cleaning up the mess and trying to minimize their losses to the minimum.Henry suddenly launched a general attack. Several companies outside Su Chen's company provinces were suppressed by Marriott International at the same time.Su Chen had long known that these companies under his name had been discovered by Henry.If that was all, Su Chen wouldn't be worried.However, the person under Su Chen's hand had just called.Su Chen's overseas businesses had been maliciously sold before the stock market was closed.Now that the stock market had been closed, it was impossible for them to buy it immediately.During this period of closing, their stock price would continue to decline.If they couldn't buy those shares as soon as possible before the trading tomorrow.They could only be controlled by others.Su Chen didn't even need to think that who did this to him.He didn't expect Henry to do like this.This was Su Chen's final
Gu Linbei couldn't sense the mixed feelings in Gu Shaohuan's heart.He handed over the results of his efforts in the morning to the Hui family."From today on, the Gu family has nothing to do with me anymore. I have nothing to do with the Gu family anymore."At this moment, Gu Linbei was secretly glad that he was not a good-for-nothing rich second generation in order to prove to his family with Henry.He had secretly saved up his personal savings so that he could speak so confidently in front of Gu Shaohuan at this moment.Gu Shaohuan thought that Gu Linbei would suffer a lot after leaving the Gu family.This kind of revenge just happened to calm down.He didn't expect Gu Linbei to appear in front of him in such a powerful state.Gu Shaohuan didn't want to admit this difference, so he snorted coldly. "You have today's results because of the Gu family. What's there to be proud of now?"Gu Linbei had expected this, as if he had already guessed that Gu Shaohuan would say that."
After Gu Linbei got the computer, he turned off the page of the Gu Group internal web.This was also the reason why Gu Shaohuan no longer insisted.Gu Linbei sent a message, and soon a document came from the other side.After calling Gu Shaohuan over, he opened the document.It was the three companies that had been acquired by the Gu family in the morning and other shares."You're the one who's dealing with the Gu family?!"Gu Shaohuan's first reaction was that Gu Linbei was the one dealing with Gu Group, not that Gu Linbei wanted to help the Gu family.In the face of Gu Shaohuan's reaction, Gu Linbei's first feeling was not anger or disappointment, but relief.Fortunately, this man was not his father.Gu Linbei didn't explain. Instead, he called in all the members of Gu Shao Huan's team."Mr. Gu, he is the mysterious buyer who helped us stabilize the stock market!"He was so excited that he almost called Gu Linbei the son of the Gu family.However, both Gu Shaohuan and Gu
Gu Linbei did not care what Gu Zihang was thinking.He directly pulled her out of Henry's office.Henry looked at Monique’s photos on his desk and ignored them.He was thinking about the reason why Su Chen had attacked the Gu family first...."Zihang, how is it? Have you done it?"Gu Shaohuan had been paying close attention to the curve on the computer.He didn't notice the secretary's expression when she came in and said that Gu Zihang wanted to say something when he came back.When Gu Shaohuan finished asking, there was no response.He raised his head and saw Gu Linbei coming back with Gu Zihang."What are you doing here?" Gu Shaohuan was furious when he saw the son that the Gu family had raised for 20 years.How proud Gu Linbei had been in the past, how much he hated him now.Gu Linbei didn't care about Gu Shaohuan's tone at all. He sat down on the sofa as usual.He was so angry that his nose was crooked."The Gu family is in big trouble, and they can't hold on any lo
Gu Linbei and Su Chen were just so happy, but they made w Gu Shaohuan and Gu Zihang feel so worried.They didn't even have time for lunch and had been busy buying.However, the funds that could be used were quickly finished, so they had no choice but to stop.It wasn't that the Gu family didn't have enough money.The wealth accumulated by the Gu family in the past few lifetimes would not be unable to afford these stocks.Not to mention that the stock loss was so much now.However, most of the Gu family's funds were flowing in the project.They could not be put into use as they wanted.Gu Shaohuan had even used up all of his savings, but it was still useless.It was too late to transfer funds now...Was it really useless now?Just as Gu Shaohuan and his nephew were in despair.The Gu Group found that the decline of the Gu Group's stock gradually stopped."Mr. Gu, look, Mr. Gu! This man seems to be helping the company. The stock doesn’t drop anymore."The leader of the team
Only in this way could he have a better grasp of the initiative.But what could Gu Shaohuan do if he didn't listen to him?The Gu family didn’t have any business in the past two years. Of course, Gu Shaohuan, who needed a large amount of money, would release more shares to gather funds.However, they didn't expect Su Chen to be the one who bought a large number of Gu's stocks and even gave them financial support.Even if they found out, they would not doubt anything.After all, the Su Group had been developing rapidly in City B these years.Early this morning, Su Chen began to sell all the Gu Group stocks at all costs.The Gu Group's stock dropped sharply.At this rate, the Gu family would be forced to leave the city before it was over.Moreover, the other companies of the Gu family were affected.By the time Gu Shaohuan found out about this, three companies under his control had already changed owners.At this time, Gu Shaohuan were anxious, and he was anxiously discussing
