He Maochun was still fighting fiercely. After Xia Mu Yi left, Li Han Yuan and He Yun Chu both went upstairs to watch the scene. When these two saw He Chu Xue getting beaten up, they silently cheered in their hearts.
He Maochun was tired and wanted to take a break. He asked He Chun Xue, "Now have you thought it through? Do you agree or not?"
Chu Xue's body was covered in wounds, but after hearing He Maochun's words, she bit her lips and refused to let go.
He Yunzhu found a stick from downstairs and handed it to He Maochun, "Dad, you're too tired, this will save you some effort!"
He Maochun picked up the stick and hit He Chuxue's body again. Just as he did so, the door to the study was slammed open. An Haoxuan rushed in with a bunch of people.
He Maochun didn't understand what was going on and just stood there in a daze. An Haoxuan walked over and helped He Chu Xue up.
He Chu Xue was currently in a sorry state, her hair was in disarray, and her arms were covered in bruises. An Haoxuan was furious, but she was still He Chu Xue's father, so he couldn't say anything.
He Maochun had already understood that this person was after his daughter, and he had already made plans in his heart. In He Maochun's heart, he didn't care who He Chuxue married or was her mistress, he only cared about the benefits that the person could give him.
An Haoxuan was the president of the An clan, and He Maochun also had a business background. Normally, because of the difference in their circles of living, the two of them didn't have much contact with each other. However, He Maochun still recognized An Haoxuan.
He coughed, straightened his clothes, and said: "CEO An, I've just taken care of some family matters, I've let you down. Why don't we go downstairs to talk?"
He had originally wanted to keep a straight face and extort some information from An Haoxuan. Later on, he felt that it would be worth it to let him go for a long line to catch a big fish. Thus, he said something that was neither hard nor soft. Firstly, he made it clear that An Haoxuan shouldn't interfere with his family matters, and secondly, he wouldn't offend him if he said so.
"There's no need!" An Haoxuan controlled the anger in his heart and coldly spat out these words. If the person who beat He Chu Xue into such a state was someone else … He must have already crippled that person.
He Maochun could hear that An Haoxuan was not in a good mood. He could only smile and say, "Then why did CEO An come to our He Family?"
An Haoxuan suddenly said seriously, "I want to announce something. I want to marry Chu Xue as my wife. From now on, whoever bullies him is going to be against me, An Haoxuan!"
His words silenced the entire study room. If a needle were to land on the floor, he would surely be able to hear it. Even the security guards that An Haoxuan brought over were shocked. They didn't expect the wife of the president of the An clan to fall on the head of the He family's eldest daughter.
Meanwhile, Li Hanyuan still didn't know where An Haoxuan came from. She only thought of He Chu Xue, who had An Haoxuan's backing. He would be able to escape a beating. This made them extremely resentful. Their gazes towards An Haoxuan were very unfriendly.
On the other hand, He Yuncai secretly cursed He Chu Xue for being unlucky, and he looked at He Chu Xue with eyes full of jealousy. However, in the blink of an eye, she felt that this was a good thing. As long as He Chu Xue married An Haoxuan, Xia Mu Yi would be hers.
He Yuncai and Li Hanyuan were the same, both of them wanted He Chu Xue to give up the seat. But Li Hanyuan was interested in Xia Mu Yi's family background, and He Yun Chu was interested in Xia Mu Yi. Of course, He Yunxiu still didn't know that Xia Mu Yi was going to marry Song Ming Yue. Even if she did, she would probably think of a way to achieve good things with Xia Mu Yi.
An Haoxuan's words made everyone change their minds. He Maochun rubbed his hands together and said, "President An, my daughter is already engaged to President Xia. What do you think we should do?"
"This is one hundred million and it's even taking away CEO Xia's money. Chu Xue is still free!" An Haoxuan took out a cheque from his pocket and handed it to He Maochun.
As He Maochun held the cheque, his eyes were wide open. Xia Mu Yi let He Chu Xue be his secret lover, but promised him that he wouldn't have to pay any interest on the loan, and the repayment time could be eased a bit. This An family kid immediately gave a cheque for one hundred million, this was the style of a truly rich person.
He Maochun happily accepted the cheque and quickly made way for An Haoxuan to leave with He Chuxue.
As soon as He Chuxue arrived on the car, she cried in An Haoxuan's arms. She had always known that in He Maochun's eyes, she was just a tool to gain benefits. But she had never thought that He Maochun would make her Xia Muyi's mistress for money. How could this be done by a biological father?
He Chu Xue was really sad. The person she loved had become a stranger. Her father's methods had made her heart tremble. He Chu Xue's tears had drenched An Haoxuan's clothes.
"You still have me! Everything will be fine! " An Haoxuan lightly patted He Chuxue's back. He wasn't very good at comforting others, but saying these words made He Chuxue feel more at ease.
An Haoxuan soon announced the marriage between him and He Chuxue to the media. He also brought He Chuxue to all sorts of public events. An Haoxuan was using his actions to protect He Chuxue and to make her forget her past pain.
The two of them had been inseparable for the past few days. An Haoxuan would refuse many of their social contacts and would only want to spend more time by his side. For those banquets that needed to be attended, he would bring He Chu Xue along.
Although An Haoxuan was silent, many girls thought that he was just playing a cool game. He was a tall and mighty man. With his status as the president of the An clan, many of the girls were attracted to him.
An Haoxuan's recent high profile protection of He Chuxue had caused his admirers to be so jealous that they went crazy.
An Haoxuan and He Chuxue had come hand in hand to host a charity party in the city. During the meal, An Haoxuan and the successful people from the shopping mall were raising their cups. Those who loved An Haoxuan walked up to He Chuxue.
"Now this kind of party is getting more and more boring. All sorts of cats and dogs can come in." Cao Mengsi and the group of young ladies around her loudly said this on purpose for He Chu Xue to hear.
Cao Mengsi was the craziest suitor of An Haoxuan. Her family background was not inferior to Song Mingyue's. She had chased after An Haoxuan for so many years, but he had never given her a response. However, she had never been in a good mood because there hadn't been any other women around her. Now that An Haoxuan had announced the marriage announcement in such a high-profile manner, Cao Meng was so angry that she clenched her teeth. She swore to give He Chu Xue a lesson tonight.
He Mengxue had actually attended various famous people's banquets before, and could be considered as having gotten familiar with these famous young ladies. Since Cao Mengsi did not scold her by name, He Chuxue also did not say anything as she walked towards the food pile with her high heels.
