A loud bang broke the silence of the night. The rapidly spreading flames increased the intensity of the fire with the night wind. The night was instantly lit up by the orange fire.
The quiet factory was filled with people's voices, the sound of fire fighting, and the shouts of searchers... The reporters from the news media and the crowd who were watching the show immediately crowded the place. " Dabike " was a well-known chemical company with tens of thousands of outstanding employees. The supervisors of each department were all top talents. Although the work content was very risky, there were still many people who were willing to work here.
The Yang couple was one of them. Both of them graduated with excellent results and returned to China with a Ph.D. abroad. They were hired by the company's head as the research director and laboratory technician in the laboratory with a high salary. They were also dedicated to developing new programs and experimenting with their theories.
They were highly regarded by their boss, so they opened the No. 2 laboratory to the couple as their private studio and had the right to use it.
Of course, they did their best because both of them had come out of an orphanage. Not only did they have deep love for each other, but they also appreciated each other. They had a pair of children. One was in university, and the other was in primary school.
The two of them had relied on their own hard work to get to this point, but they often dedicated their time to work. Even when they returned home, their minds were still filled with work.
One day, after dinner, they suddenly remembered an important program, so they ran back to the studio. In order not to disturb their daughter's studies, they decided to bring their son along.
They sneaked in when the guards were not paying attention. When the guards turned around, they had already entered, and the guards did not dare to stop them.
The guard had no choice but to call the general manager who was working overtime. He did not expect to hear a huge explosion as soon as he finished the call. He quickly called the police.
On the other hand, the general manager of Dabike Company!! When Cao Yunxiang found out that something had happened, he quickly called his boss 'private line to inform Shen Huaisi to come and deal with it.
Yang Xueling still couldn't accept this sudden blow. The moment she received the news, she thought that someone was joking with her! When she learned the cruel truth, she rushed to the hospital to find out how her only surviving brother was doing. Her heart was at a loss. She could not believe that her beloved parents had died overnight, leaving her alone to face everything.
Thinking of her brother who was still unconscious in the intensive care unit, she really did not have the courage or mood to identify the body or care about other things. As long as she thought about how her parents were burned beyond recognition, how could she face them?
At this moment, she was sitting on a chair in the waiting room. Her heart was in pain and numb. She had already gone home to take care of everything. Her only personal item was now packed in her luggage and was right beside her. As soon as the accidental death of their parents was revealed, the bank immediately took back the house they were borrowing for auction.
Reality was cruel. No one stepped forward to help her. She could only watch as her house was taken away and she became homeless. His younger brother's medical expenses were a huge expense. Not only could he not solve the current difficulties, but he also had no insurance money to claim.
Since his parents had violated the rules and entered the factory that day, the results of the investigation showed that the wrong person was his parents, and the company did not have to bear any responsibility for compensation. On the contrary, the company could sue them and compensate the factory for all the losses…The pressure of reality made her feel heavy. She frowned as she looked at the hospital bill in her hand. She could only stare at it, but there was nothing she could do. She couldn't let her brother be kicked out of the hospital, right? She fell into despair…On the other hand, Shen Huaisi was already settling the losses of the factory and dealing with the aftermath.
At this moment, a tall and handsome man came to his side.
"How's the Yang Family's matter going?”Shen Huaisi respected the Yang couple's contributions and hard work to the company, so he naturally cared about them.
"The Yang family's daughter hasn't gone to identify the body yet, and their house has been auctioned off. They're still in the hospital.”Cao Yunxiang could not help but shake his head.
"Yunxiang, what kind of compensation can the company make?”He frowned and asked. Last night, he saw the report. The Yang family's situation was not optimistic. The couple not only had a house loan but also financial difficulties. Once they died, what would happen to the child?
"I'm afraid there's not much hope because they violated the company's rules. The company can only make symbolic compensation.”"Don't they have insurance?" Shen Huaisi asked in surprise.
"No, I haven't. Every company's employees would be paid for by the company, especially since the nature of their work not only had high insurance costs, but the amount of insurance was also very high. I just can't figure out why they canceled the insurance and took out all the premium.”"When did that happen?" "Three months ago." "Why didn't the people from the insurance department report to me? I've already said that we have to make sure that everyone is safe.”Shen Huaisi said coldly.
"They didn't want to disturb you, so they only reported it to the person in charge of the insurance department. He didn't pay much attention to it.”"Very good. Inform him that I want to meet him tomorrow. By the way, where's their daughter?" Shen Huaisi thought of the girl who always had a sweet smile on her face. He had seen her a few times because of official business. He didn't understand why every time he saw her, she would always have a bright smile on her face. It was a smile without any intention, as if there was no sorrow in this world.
"She's still in the family room in the intensive care unit. Do you want to ask her?”"That's right. I have a lot of things to deal with. It's time for me to see her.”Shen Huaisi strode out with Cao Yunxiang following behind him.
"Wise, our company reserves the right to sue her parents for damages. Do you want to sue her?”"Perhaps." His answer shocked Cao Yunxiang.
"Wise, she's just a little girl studying. Why are you making things difficult for her?”"Am I not clear enough? I don't want her to take responsibility. It depends on whether she understands the situation.”He did not want to tell Yun Xiang that he had decided to be a gentleman before a villain. If she agreed to his request, there would naturally be no lawsuit.
From the moment he saw her, he wanted to keep this smiling girl by his side. He wanted to know why she could smile so happily.
In the past, he didn't have the chance, nor did he have the thought of keeping her. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he not seize it?
Cao Yunxiang was worried about his heartless words. He had always known that Wise was a ruthless entrepreneur in the business world, but was there a need to make things difficult for a little girl?
Cao Yunxiang pointed at Yang Xueling, who was looking down at the bill. "It's her. Yang Xueling, the only daughter of the Yang family. I've interacted with her before. Let me introduce you to her first.”Shen Huaisi didn't bother to correct him. They had already met before, because his eyes were all on her. It had been a long time since he last saw her, and she had become even more alluring. Her fresh and refined temperament was as elegant and moving as a delicate lily.
Cao Yunxiang walked forward. " Miss Yang..." She slowly turned her head. The helplessness and confusion in her eyes made people feel heartache.
She recognized Cao Yunxiang, the man who had contacted her, as a very organized, calm, and compassionate person. "Mr. Cao, what's the matter?" "Miss Yang, this is the boss of Dabike Chemistry Company!! Shen Huaisi, he has something to discuss with you.”Yang Xueling shifted her gaze to the tall, strong, and serious man beside him. She had read about him in the media, but she had never seen him so close. His determined face, cold and hard lines, straight facial features, and uncompromising attitude fully showed that he was a strong and cold man.
The aura he exuded made her feel uneasy. This was a dangerous man that she had never come into contact with before.
Other than these traits, he could also discover other more complicated traits. Although this man's sexy charm was the first she had ever seen, it was still far more difficult to get close to than she had imagined. Sharp and careful, his eyes did not reveal a single secret.
"Miss Yang, can we find a place to talk?”Shen Huaisi's originally cold and hard facial lines turned into gentle words due to her sad expression, but he still revealed a determination that could not be rejected.
"Let's do it here! This is a personal lounge, no one else will come in. Besides, all my things are here. I don't feel at ease walking too far.”Shen Huaisi looked at the luggage beside her and then shifted his gaze back to her.
His big round eyes, which were originally shining with a touch of mischief, now looked dull and dull.
Her delicate nose was red, indicating that she had cried. The corners of his lips that were originally slightly raised were now lowered and flat. His entire person was lifeless. The vitality and liveliness that had originally attracted his attention had long disappeared.
His calm heart was actually stung, and he only hoped to see her smile again. Not understanding the change in his state of mind, his expression became even colder. His desire for her was only physical and had nothing to do with feelings. Why was he feeling sorry for her?
He nodded in agreement without batting an eyelid and sat beside her, hinting at Cao Yunxiang to leave first.
"Can you tell me what you plan to do now?”"I don't know what else I can do. The only hope now is that my brother can get better quickly. I don't dare to think about anything else.”Her tone was filled with helplessness and despair.
"What about your parents 'funeral? It's already been a week, and you're still not dealing with it?”"I really don't have the courage to do this. Although I really want them to be buried as soon as possible, I'm afraid. I hate my weak and useless personality.”Her eyes were filled with tears.
"I understand how you feel. As long as you are willing to entrust everything to me, I can help you do everything. " However, there's a problem that's more troublesome. It's about the company's lawsuit against you…" His words made Yang Xueling wary. This man's cold and arrogant expression made her wary.
" Also, about your brother's medical expenses..." Yang Xueling quickly interrupted him,""This is my own business." Her obvious wariness made Shen Huaisi frown at her. He didn't like it when she was on guard against him.
Glancing at the bill in her hand, he changed his strategy and asked,""I heard that you're still in university?”"That's right! However, I plan to quit school and find a job.”"Snowbell, can I call you that?”Seeing her nod, he continued,"This is a very considerable debt. In addition, you don't have any insurance money and don't have a place to stay. If you want to find a job, how much can you earn in a month with no social experience? Moreover, you still have to take care of your younger brother. This is really too difficult for you.”She laughed at herself. Who else could understand this kind of difficulty better than her? "I know it's difficult, but I still have to do it.”Shen Huaisi suddenly took the bill from her hand. "You have to pay 200,000 yuan now and 300,000 yuan in advance. Do you have the money? The deadline is today." he said calmly.
Yang Xueling's heart was a little flustered, but she forced herself to calm down and said,""No, I haven't. However, I can borrow it from others." "No one will lend it to you." He was already certain that no one she knew had the ability to do so.
" A female classmate of mine from university works as a receptionist at a nightclub. I can go there too. They are willing to lend me some money first, but I'm still considering it…" she said anxiously.
"No! That kind of place is not suitable for a naive and young girl like you to go. Once you go, you will never be able to turn back. The environment there is so complicated. I don't want you to go there. Do you want to endure drinking and being groped by the guests? When your needs become greater and greater, you might fall into it.”He tried to persuade her to give up the idea. He was angry at the thought of other men kissing and touching her.
She pondered for a while. "Then what else can I do?" "Let's not talk about this problem for now. I have a question to ask you first. Why did your parents take all the insurance?”It was impossible for them not to understand the consequences of such an extremely dangerous job.
"Because of my brother. He was born weak and sickly. He often had to see a doctor, take medicine, and do regular checkups, which required a lot of money. Everything had been fine, but who knew that his younger brother would suddenly fall ill three months ago, and it was very serious. They suddenly remembered the money and privately went to the insurance company's staff to cancel the insurance together. They thought that they had always been careful and that nothing would happen. Who knew that something would happen?”she said sadly.
"I understand. Now let's talk about the company's lawsuit against your parents.”he said coldly.
Yang Xueling widened her eyes at him. "What?" She couldn't believe that he was still using this question to force her when she had already encountered such a huge change!
"Don't tell me you don't know that your parents 'actions are illegal? The company had the right to file a complaint against them for the losses they had caused to the company.”Shen Huaisi said expressionlessly.
"But they're doing this for work. I believe they won't be responsible for any legal actions.”She said disapprovingly.
"Is that so? You're too naive. As long as I insist, you'll have to bear these mistakes.”He mercilessly pointed out,"
"Think about it. They used the company's laboratory without my permission. If you really want to pursue it, I guarantee that you will definitely lose the lawsuit.”"Why? Why are you doing this?" At this moment, Yang Xueling suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a demon.
"If you agree to one condition of mine, I won't pursue this matter.”His cold eyes sized her up again and saw the dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes.
But he didn't care. The only thing he wanted was to get her and an heir.
"What condition?" She asked helplessly. She knew very well that the current situation was in the hands of this man.
"Marry me." His words were undoubtedly like a bomb that fell into the lake of her heart, causing her to be so frightened that she could not move.
Seeing her reaction, Shen Huaisi raised his eyebrows and looked at her." What's wrong? Am I not qualified?" Many women wanted to be Mrs. Shen, but he was not interested in those greedy women at all. She was the only one who could make him make up his mind the first time he saw her and make her carry on his family line.
Even though he could not trust women, he could easily control such a young and inexperienced girl.
"Of course I didn't mean that. I just didn't expect you to say that.”She quickly explained.
Seeing that she had regained some of her vitality, he actually looked forward to seeing her sweet smile. "Actually, I think this idea is quite good. Once you marry me, these problems can be solved. Your brother can be treated here in peace. I will hire a skilled doctor and special care to take care of him. You can also continue to finish your studies and have a place to settle down. When your brother is discharged from the hospital, you will have a home to return to. Isn't this arrangement very good?”"It seems that you have thought everything through. I just don't understand why you're doing this.”She asked the question in her heart, curious about the reason for his actions.
"For an heir. My business is so big, of course I need someone to inherit it.”Yang Xueling suddenly felt incredulous. "But…why me? This is ridiculous!" "I don't think so." "Having a child is one of the most important things in a person's life, whether it's from the perspective of passing down the family line or personal joy and satisfaction.
To me, purely relying on luck is the most ridiculous thing.”Although he never said it, Yang Xueling couldn't help but feel that it was imperative for him to get her to join this strange plan. Moreover, he was the worst kind of utilitarianist!! A man who didn't care about using women to achieve his goals.
"Continue, I really want to know!! There are so many women out there, why must it be me?”"Alright then! If you want to know, I'll tell you the truth. I'm already thirty-six years old, and I'll be middle-aged in four years. I've worked hard for so many years alone to build my own kingdom, but no one can inherit it. Of course, I feel regretful. That's why I came up with this idea, hoping to marry you.
" Yang Xueling stared at his evasive eyes. "Then why me? There should be many other excellent women for you to choose from.”She wanted to know the reason why he was looking for her.
"That's right. I know a lot of women, but none of them can arouse my desire. I have to admit, from the first time I saw you, I wanted you.”She stared at him in surprise. She was stunned by his undisguised and explicit words. This man actually married her for this reason? "Do you think I'm a prostitute?”She frowned and asked him in annoyance. The anger in her heart rose.
"I don't think so. On the contrary, I can see that you're a good girl. If it weren't for marriage, you wouldn't have agreed to me possessing you like this. Could it be…you only want to be my mistress?”As soon as he said those insulting words, she gasped.
"I will never agree to be your plaything!”She retorted angrily. This infuriating man!
Shen Huaisi suddenly burst into laughter, but his expression was cold. "In that case, you should consider my opinion.”He didn't believe that women didn't love money. "Think about it. What benefits can I get from marrying a woman? After all, my wealth is considerable." As soon as he finished speaking, he waited for her reaction while admiring her eyes that sparkled because of her anger. He liked to see her angry look. It was so vivid and cute.
She suddenly frowned and pondered. What was wrong with this man? Did he think that he could get everything in this world as long as he had money? "Aren't you afraid that after we get married, you'll meet a woman you love one day?”"Love?" He laughed mockingly, his eyes filled with disdain. "Only people who daydream all day would think about such things. To me, such things don't exist at all.”Seeing the disappointment on her face, he could not help but say again,"There's one thing I have to make clear in advance. We're both getting what we need in this marriage. Although I won't tell you my reason, I can guarantee that as long as you don't betray me, I won't let you suffer.”A faint smile appeared on his lips, but it soon turned cold. "However, if I find out that you have done something wrong to me, I will make you regret provoking me.”Shen Huaisi didn't tell her that he had already investigated her life and felt that she was the most suitable for him. The current situation was a good opportunity for him to choose her.
"Humph! Don't be so sure. If you really meet him one day, I'll see if you can still smile!”This hateful man, did he think he was so great just because he was rich?
She had to admit that he was indeed very impressive now because she was in urgent need of money, and he had money.
"Can you let me think about it?”She said gloomily. This man was very charming, but he was such a cold man. She felt a little bored thinking about spending the rest of her life with him.
She had always liked to laugh and have fun, but this was the first time she had met such a man! He really didn't know if he could get used to it.
Shen Huaisi stood up and walked to the door. "Of course, but I hope you don't take too long to think about it. Give me a reply as soon as possible, and you can find me through Mr. Cao.”He was not afraid that she would refuse because he still had the most favorable situation. As long as she did not agree, he would go to court and ask her to compensate for the loss of the factory. He believed that all women loved money, and no woman would reject his offer.
Yang Xueling's mind quickly flashed past her brother's pale face. Now that her parents had passed away, Xiao Dong was her responsibility. She had the obligation to let Xiao Dong continue to live and live a good life... Although she was a lively and optimistic person, now that her parents were no longer alive, she could no longer live as easily as before. She had the responsibility to let Xiao Dong live a good life. He was her only family.
Her mother once said that everyone had emotions and desires. In order to survive in this world, she had to face the world with her strong side. She did not believe that her likable personality could not influence him.
Judging from the current situation, the only person who could help her was this strange and cold man in front of her. For Xiao Dong, she had to compromise.
The thought of having to live with a strange and cold man made her retreat. However, other than that, did her heart really not have any ups and downs?
After considering for a few days, Yang Xueling decided to agree to his conditions because she really couldn't deal with all of this. She had been delaying these days just because she was unwilling!
At this moment, they were in the hospital's dining room.
"Perhaps I should mention something else.”Shen Huaisi looked at her coldly. "I want to sign a custody agreement for the child in case of a divorce in the future. At the same time, you must also agree to end our marriage if you are still not pregnant after two years. At that time, you will of course receive a considerable amount of support.”Yang Xueling shifted her gaze away. She couldn't believe that she had met such a cold-blooded man. Of course, she had heard of his playfulness from time to time, but she really didn't expect him to turn his attention to her and even offer such conditions.
Seeing that she was silent, he continued,""When the time comes, if you give birth to a child, it will be considered as fulfilling our agreement. I won't object to having another child in the future.”"Are you saying that if I can have a child, you won't ask for a divorce and will continue to maintain this marriage?”Seeing him nod, she continued to ask him,"Do you think everyone can be as cold-blooded as you? After I give birth to the child, you want me to divorce you regardless of whether he lives or dies?”"I once said that unless you can't give birth within two years, this marriage is permanent. I hope that my children will grow up with parents.”He narrowed his eyes at her red lips and felt a desire rise in his lower abdomen.
He suddenly stood up and pulled her up. "Let's go!" She allowed him to pull her without resisting because she knew that her fate was linked to his in the future. Whatever he wanted to do, she was completely resigned to her fate.
When they reached a corner where no one was around, Shen Huaisi suddenly wrapped his arms around her. "Since we're already getting married, a kiss shouldn't be too much, right?”Without waiting for her reply, he lowered his head and sealed her lips.
Being embraced by a chest that was still extremely unfamiliar to her, her nose was instantly filled with the charming masculine scent of his body mixed with tobacco and shaving water. Her heart was momentarily confused.
Before she could resist, his kiss deepened. The tip of his tongue separated her lips unscrupulously and gently, entering her moist and soft mouth.
Yang Xueling felt as if the entire ground had turned upside down. She trembled slightly in his arms, and a strong desire that was unfamiliar to her quickly ignited in her body.
When he finally looked up at her, she realized that although the kiss had shocked her greatly, it was very likely that he did not feel the same. It was just a man who was used to physical contact, so it was natural for him to show his skills. It was no different from breathing. In his experience of hunting women, she must be like a boring hard bread.
She could never have predicted Shen Huaisi's true feelings at that moment. As he was good at concealing his true emotions, he did not reveal any emotions other than raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Let's go! There are still some things to deal with!" He pulled her arm up with ease.
In fact, Shen Huaisi felt the exact opposite at this moment. He did not want to fall in love again, but this woman was very likely to make him do so. Her soft lips and jerky reaction almost made him lose control.
At the same time, he did not want to hurt her. Snowbell's passion, innocence, and fragility made him want to protect her, but judging from his tight work schedule, it was not a favorable condition for any woman to develop that kind of intimate relationship.
Besides, he had been betrayed before, so he no longer believed in love.
Shen Huaisi took Yang Xueling to the jewelry store first. An elderly waiter walked up and led them to the glass cabinet that displayed the diamonds.
In the glass cabinet, expensive rings, necklaces, and bracelets shone brightly against the red velvet.
The waiter introduced them to several types of rings. Shen Huaisi chose a beautiful diamond ring and put it on Yang Xueling's finger. It was just the right size.
"How is it? Do you like it?" "This must be very expensive." "I only want the best for you." As he signed the bill casually, he asked the waiter to wrap up a matching bracelet.
Then, she was quickly brought into his Jaeger.
"Next, we'll go to the law firm.”He looked as cold as if he was reading the to-do list on a timetable.
After she signed her name on the last page of the contract, he sent her to the restaurant.
"I'll pick you up at nine tomorrow morning. We'll go to the court to get married.”Yang Xueling nodded in agreement, and then they looked at each other speechlessly for a moment.
Shen Huaisi suddenly walked up to her and pulled her into his arms. In the past few days, her shadow had been constantly floating in his heart. He could not forget her, whether in meetings or when discussing business.
Did she know how desirable she was? He lowered his head and frowned slightly. He believed that as long as he had her, he would naturally be able to throw away these meaningless thoughts.
He moaned softly and grabbed her mouth. His lips invaded her lips with a violent force, almost melting her.
If she didn't stop now, she would have to spend her wedding night early.
" No…" She pushed him away.
He didn't force her. He just held her hand and kissed her.
"Have a good rest! My little bride." He turned around and walked out.
