International Airport.
Li Zheyu looked at his watch, there were only ten minutes left before he could board the plane. He glanced at the lobby of the airport and counted down silently in his mind.
"Five, four, three …"
"Li Zheyu, I want to go with you."
Before he finished counting, an anxious female voice sounded out from behind him. Li Zheyu's lips curled into a ridiculing smile, and turned around, only glancing at the woman, "Your family gave me a million gold coins to leave you. Tell me, you don't want to part with me, what should I do?"
The bystanders looked at the two of them in astonishment, Li Zheyu's words had shattered the hearts of countless of girls, he was actually a poor brat who had nothing at all.
As for the woman who was talking to him, she was the daughter of the Luo Family, Ruo Linglong. If she was not mistaken, she should be married to Ou Hanting tomorrow.
"Jie Yu, I really don't want to marry Ou Hanting. I beg you, please take me away." The flirtatious woman pleaded, anxious tears falling.
"Tsk tsk, the truth, but Ou Hanting also failed." The corner of Li Zheyu's mouth slowly rose. He gently pinched the woman's small chin and earnestly sized up her exquisite little face, "Then, come with me."
Li Zheyu seized her body with his large hand, and pulled her into his embrace.
He habitually put on his sunglasses, so no one noticed the hatred within his light grey eyes that was deliberately concealed.
Ou Hanting, you have lost for sure.
The whole Ruo Family were like flowers blooming, when the young miss of the Ruo Family, Ruo Linglong, eloped with a poor guy who had nothing at all the day before their wedding, causing the entire Ruo Family's eyeglasses to fall off, and the Master of the Ruo Family was so angry that his blood pressure went up to two hundred.
"No matter what, before we get engaged, I must catch Linglong!" If the old man were to be enraged, the Ruo Family would be in grave danger now, and the only way to survive would be to grab hold of Ou Hanting's life-saving straw.
"But Master, Linglong really doesn't like Ou Hanting. It's not like you don't know Linglong's character, if you really capture her and bring her back, she wouldn't agree."
If the family's oldest daughter, Ning Zishan, was sitting aside, she would have disagreed with the marriage from the start. However, due to the circumstances, she could only sacrifice her daughter.
"Then what do you think we should do now? Can't we just watch as the Ruo Family's business goes out of business?" The old man angrily puffed his beard, "I'm already over 80 years old. I don't have a single man in my family, so I can only rely on Linglong. Now that she's gone, who's going to take over our family business?"
Although the Ruo Family Enterprise was once glorious, after her husband died in a car accident fifteen years ago, it had been on the decline. Now, they were even relying on Ruo Ruo's power and influence to barely get by, it was not easy for Ou Hanting to see her daughter requesting for a marriage, but that child actually ran away.
"Grandpa Ruo, what are you talking about?" A brisk female voice interrupted their conversation, revealing a small head. Ruo Xiaoxiao curiously looked inside the study room, not understanding why everyone was so serious.
If the old man and Ning Zhi Shan's gaze were to be attracted by Ruo Xiaoxiao and their gazes met, they would both understand what the other was thinking. Ning Zhi Shan said, "It's not like there's no solution, let Xiaoxiao replace her sister and get engaged."
"Impossible." The old tutor immediately rejected.
Ning Zhi Shan's face immediately darkened, "Why can't I? Ruo Xiaoxiao has been eating from our Ruo Family for so many years, drinking from our Ruo Family, so why is it only my Ling Long who sacrificed herself for happiness?
After Ruo Xiaoxiao realized that Ning Zhi Shan had gone berserk, he was so frightened that he retreated back to his own little head. He hid behind the door not daring to let out a single breath, but when he turned around, he crashed into a wall of flesh.
"So painful …" Ruo Xiaoxiao rubbed his head and looked at the man who stood in front of him like an Apollo. A large group of people followed behind him. His light gray eyes only slanted to the side for a moment before he unhesitatingly stepped into the study.
In the study room, Ning Zhi Shan was still quarreling intensely with the old man, but she was interrupted by a man who was walking towards her, "Madam Ruo, I heard that Ling Long eloped?"
Ning Zhi Shan looked at the man standing in front of her with a pale face. His facial features were as deep and delicate as a statue. His gray eyes were staring at her.
She never expected Ou Hanting to be so well-informed, and even if she was spared after fighting for so many years on the relationships field, she could only stammer as she laughed dryly, "No, no, Linglong was just out to relax."
"She's getting engaged tomorrow, where is she going to relax?" Ou Hanting had a smile on his face, but it was so cold that it caused people's hair to stand on end.
Cold sweat flowed down the back of the Ruo family's eldest daughter, the Ruo family's elder coughed, "I'm sorry, Linglong did elope with someone."
Ou Hanting's expression instantly became ice-cold. His eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped at the old man, "If I remember correctly, the family has already informed all the media two months in advance about the engagement between the two families, right?"
The old man's expression became a bit depressed. Indeed, in order to raise the price of the Ruo Family, he had spread the news of the marriage between the two families to the entire city. But now, it was his own faction that had made a mistake.
"We didn't say which daughter she was, but we still have a child …" Ning Zhi Shan anxiously explained, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Ou Hanting's sharp gaze.
