Chapter 1696: Chapter 1696: Exposing the Deal Behind
Rui Hui just came out of the pharmacy, walked to the window, saw the sunset magnificently beautiful, couldn’t help but move forward, holding onto the windowsill with both hands to look outside.
Seeing someone passing by, she reached out to stop them, “Where did Diwu Zexuan go?”
She had been locked in the pharmacy all day and hadn’t seen anyone.
“It seems Mr. Jie had an accident, and the boss hurried out and hasn’t returned yet.”
“What did you say? Jie had an accident? Did Diwu Zexuan say where he went, or what he went to do?” Rui Hui’s hand tightened as she asked anxiously.
“The boss should have returned to the villa, don’t worry Miss Rui Hui, there was a problem with the Dan Group bidding case, Mr. Jie is just involved as a relevant person, accepting questioning by the board, the boss has already gone to help handle it, it shouldn’t be a big issue.”
“I’ll go find him.”
Rui Hui’s enchanting eyes flashed, she released her hand, turned around and ran out of the laboratory building.
She retrieved her car from the parking lot and headed towards Diwu Zexuan’s villa.
By the time she returned to the villa, it was already dark.
The lights were on in the villa, but Diwu Zexuan’s place is always mysterious, even at night, it is never brightly lit, just two lights in the courtyard, then the living room.
And the study where he was.
Without asking the housekeeper, Rui Hui went straight upstairs, running towards Diwu Zexuan’s study.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock, she found the door was not fully closed.
Just as she was about to push the door open to inquire about Dan Hanjie’s situation, raising her hand, she heard a deep voice coming from the study.
“I’ve reviewed the materials, I’m very satisfied, this arms line can be considered your betrothal gift, but wanting to marry my daughter from the Adolf family, one arms line isn’t enough, you should know what I want.”
Rui Hui’s hand paused, her body instantly froze.
She opened her mouth in surprise but couldn’t make a sound.
What did she hear?
It was her father’s voice, negotiating with Diwu Zexuan.
And the bargaining chip was her, the daughter…
After a while, Diwu Zexuan’s voice came out from the study.
“You know very well where my bottom line is, I’ve set my sights on Rui Hui, whether you agree or not doesn’t matter, this arms line is my betrothal gift to the Adolf family, but don’t think that having once means I’ll unconditionally compromise a second time, the Adolf family’s ambition should restrain itself, I don’t want such things to reach Rui Hui’s ears.”
“Rui Hui is the most outstanding daughter of the Adolf family, she’s worthy of even more betrothal gifts.” Kwei Adolf seemed very arrogant, but such arrogance carried pride in his daughter, making it hard for one to feel annoyed.
“Zexian Karl, you know what I value is your Swedish royal identity, if not for this connection, I would rather betroth Rui Hui to Duke Selter, the Selter family’s reputation in Germany’s military circles is impressive, which would be a greater help to the Adolf family.”
“Unfortunately, Rui Hui’s heart belongs only to me.” Diwu Zexuan furrowed his brows, his words turned a bit impatient.
“I’ve already met your requirement, you yourself know the value of that arms line, so don’t feign ignorance with me, even if Duke Selter were to marry Rui Hui, he couldn’t present something of such great value; there’s a saying, greed knows no bound, the Adolf family should hold back a bit.”
“You…”
Kwei Adolf was clearly stumped by him.
