Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Special Assistant Hua, Please Take Away Zhixuan’s Engagement Gift

Engagement gifts?

Pei Yuanbin was stunned!

Xi Minglan was stunned!

Everyone in the He Family was stunned!

Everyone stared at each other in confusion!

The He Family had never been engaged to the Duan Conglomerate!

Otherwise, the He Family wouldn’t have needed to suck up to Pei Yuanbin like this, nor would they have had to put up a hundred-million security deposit!

Even Cheng Yuan and He Zhixuan were completely baffled.

What kind of engagement gifts was this Special Assistant Hua delivering?

It was utterly bizarre!

Xi Minglan was the first to recover, saying with an awkward laugh, "Special Assistant Hua, could there be some mistake? This old woman doesn’t recall the He Family ever being engaged to the Duan Conglomerate!"

Hua Qianyu said with a gentle smile, "There’s no mistake. I received President Zheng’s order to come and deliver engagement gifts to Miss He. Allow me to read the gift list first!"

Hua Qianyu cleared her throat and announced in a deep voice, "One billion in cash! Ten kilograms of gold! Sixty percent of Pei Group’s shares! And finally, the exclusive distribution rights for Lingxi Health Beverage in Gui City!"

Everyone in the He Family grew excited!

Oh my god!

Isn’t President Zheng too extravagant?

These engagement gifts must be worth tens of billions!

The He Family is about to take off!

If they could latch onto the Duan Conglomerate, the He Family would instantly become a first-rate family in Gui City!

They might even have the chance to become one of Gui City’s top-tier families!

However, amidst the excitement, someone noticed a problem.

"Cash, gold, and distribution rights, I can understand. But what the hell is this about sixty percent of Pei Group’s shares? I remember the Pei Group being a company controlled by the Pei Family!"

For a moment, the members of the He Family calmed down.

He Guosheng asked hesitantly, "Special Assistant Hua, you must be joking, right? The Pei Group is an asset under President Pei’s name..."

Hua Qianyu explained, "Last night, President Pei sold off the Pei Group as a package deal. It was purchased by a company controlled by our Duan Conglomerate. Please, inspect the gifts!"

CLICK! CLICK!

The two Elders opened the briefcases they were carrying, revealing the checks, gold, and two agreements inside.

Seeing the cold, hard cash, the He Family members no longer had any doubts.

Suddenly, the He Family members realized something, and they all turned to glare at Pei Yuanbin with furious eyes.

"Pei Yuanbin! You already sold off the Pei Group, so why were you still demanding a hundred-million security deposit from us? This is fraud!"

"Pei Yuanbin, you must give the He Family an explanation!"

"Pei Yuanbin, how could you be so shameless?"

...

Facing the He Family’s accusations, Pei Yuanbin’s expression didn’t change.

"Business is like a battlefield; all’s fair in war. I didn’t steal or rob you. You had the choice to pay or not! Since the deal fell through, I’ll be taking my leave!"

How could the He Family let Pei Yuanbin leave so easily?

He Zhixuan’s cousin, He Zhenxing, grabbed Pei Yuanbin. "Trying to leave? Not so fast! The Patrol Officers will be here any minute! We have to get you, a fraudster, arrested!"

He Zhixuan shot Pei Yuanbin a disgusted look. ’I can’t believe this bastard is so shameless!’

He Zhixuan lowered her voice and asked, "Junior, didn’t you send Zheng Longxiang to the hospital? What the hell is with these engagement gifts? He’s not still after me, is he?"

Cheng Yuan was also a bit confused. He took out his phone and sent Zheng Longxiang a text message.

[Zheng Longxiang, you’re itching for a fight, aren’t you? Wasn’t yesterday’s lesson enough? How dare you send engagement gifts? Do you really think I’d spare you for Second Brother’s sake?]

Zheng Longxiang quickly replied.

[Third Uncle, you’ve misunderstood! Your nephew sent these engagement gifts on your behalf, to wish you and Young Aunt a long and happy life together!]

Cheng Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly. ’This little bastard sure is quick to adapt to the situation!’

Meanwhile, with Pei Yuanbin restrained, Xi Minglan turned her head and looked at her granddaughters with a loving gaze.

"Zhirou, Zhiqian, and Zixuan, hurry and tell Grandma, which one of you has been hiding such a secret? You’ve really given your grandma a huge surprise!"

He Zhiqian and He Zixuan shook their heads at the same time.

"Grandma, we have no connection to anyone from the Duan Conglomerate."

Everyone in the He Family looked at He Zhirou. He Guosheng’s voice trembled slightly with excitement. "Zhirou, is it you?"

He Zhirou was also a little dazed. She had indeed met Zheng Longxiang once.

At a high-end cocktail party, He Zhirou had toasted Zheng Longxiang, but she remembered his attitude toward her at the time was very cold!

’Could it be that Zheng Longxiang was just pretending to be aloof that day?’

’That must be it!’

He Zhirou immediately began to tremble slightly with excitement!

"I am indeed quite familiar with Longxiang, but we haven’t reached the point of discussing marriage yet. I’m also a bit surprised that Longxiang would suddenly send engagement gifts."

Hearing this, He Zhixuan breathed a small sigh of relief. ’So the engagement gifts were for Zhirou?’

’That scared me to death just now!’

Cheng Yuan almost burst out laughing. ’This He Zhirou really has some nerve!’

He Guosheng’s face was flushed with excitement. He slapped his thigh hard and exclaimed, "Good! Excellent! Zhirou hasn’t disappointed me! She’s found a truly magnificent son-in-law! HAHAHAHA!"

Hua Qianyu subconsciously scratched her head. ’It seems the He Family has made a mistake. These engagement gifts are for Miss He Zhixuan. What does this have to do with He Zhirou?’

Hua Qianyu subconsciously turned to look at Cheng Yuan. Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, she held her tongue.

The He Family members began to frantically flatter He Zhirou and her father.

"Big Brother, from now on, you’ll be Prince Duan’s in-law! In our Qian Province, who wouldn’t give you some face?"

"Cousin, I’m so envious of you! To think you’re marrying into the Dali Duan Dynasty! If any good opportunities come up in the future, you have to think of your little sister!"

"My heavens, our He Family has actually produced a celestial phoenix! This is an honor for the entire He Family!"

...

For the longest time, whether in looks or ability, He Zhirou had always been crushed by He Zhixuan.

Today, He Zhirou could finally vent her frustrations!

He Zhirou looked down at He Zhixuan condescendingly. "Zhixuan, do you remember what I said? A momentary success means nothing. The one who laughs last is the true winner!"

As if not detecting the provocation in He Zhirou’s words, He Zhixuan said with a gentle smile, "You’re right, Cousin. Congratulations on marrying into a wealthy family."

He Zhirou felt great, having successfully put He Zhixuan in her place.

"Zhixuan, as your older sister, I have to give you some advice. Is it really worth breaking with the He Family for an ex-convict? As long as you say a few soft words, I’ll ask my dad to take back his order and let you return to the family."

He Zhixuan shook her head with great determination. "Thank you for your kindness, Cousin, but in this life, Cheng Yuan is the only man I will ever acknowledge!"

He Zhirou’s expression darkened. "How shameless! In that case, take this ex-convict and get out of our He Family home immediately! Don’t tarnish our family’s century-old reputation!"

Xi Minglan couldn’t listen anymore. "Zhirou, your words are a bit harsh. Zhixuan is your sister, after all."

He Zhirou didn’t dare to go against the old matriarch, so she just snorted and didn’t continue to make things difficult for He Zhixuan.

He Zhixuan practically ground her teeth. She knew that if she walked out of the He Family’s doors today, she could never hope to come back in this lifetime!

But for Cheng Yuan, she could abandon anything!

"Fine! We’ll leave!"

With that, He Zhixuan grabbed Cheng Yuan’s large hand and turned to leave.

This time, Cheng Yuan didn’t resist. As they walked away, he turned his head to look at Hua Qianyu and said, "Special Assistant Hua, Zhixuan has been expelled from the He Family. Please take her engagement gifts back with you!"
