Zhao Hong gradually regained his senses. He knew that Zhao Jinxing would not take the carrot and stick. The marriage with the Huo Family would most likely be ruined. However, it was impossible that Zhao Hong would let her inherit the Zhenting Group!

“Jinxing! Your grandfather worried about your marriage the most. That was why he specifically stated in the inheritance that you have to marry someone who’s a match for our family. Any ordinary man couldn’t marry you.”

Zhuang Zhenting never cared about family status. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed his only daughter to marry Zhao Hong who had nothing. Even though after Zhao Jinxing was born, he didn’t make her surname Zhuang.

Unexpectedly, such a kind-hearted old man had invited a wolf into their house and was deceived by a hypocrite like Zhao Hong!

Zhao Jinxing knew it for sure that Zhao Hong must have tampered with the so-called inheritance conditions. However, she had missed the opportunity to reveal it. There was no point in arguing about it now.

Fortunately, she had discussed with Qin Yu on the way here.

“I’m definitely ready for it since I’m married now. What conditions do you have? Tell me!”

Zhao Hong glanced at her and looked at Qin Yu. After sizing him up, he asked, “Qin Yu, right? How old are you this year? You don’t look too young.”

Zhao Jinxing was about to retort, but Qin Yu held her back. He shook his head at her and answered Zhao Hong’s question.

“31 years old.”

“Isn’t that 11 years older than Jinxing?” Chen Ping cried out in surprise. Then, she whispered, “There’s too much age difference!”

“Shut up!”

Zhao Jinxing could let it go if it was Zhao Hong. At least they were related by blood, but Chen Ping was nothing! What right did she have to criticize Qin Yu?

“We’re talking about our family matters. You can either shut up, or I’ll have someone throw you out!”

Chen Ping was angry and wanted to act coquettishly with Zhao Hong. However, Zhao Hong’s mind was occupied. He was thinking of ways to stop Zhao Jinxing from getting the inheritance. He did not have the time to bother with Chen Ping, so she could only leave indignantly.

Zhao Hong cleared his throat and continued, “Are you from City A? What does your family do?”

“I’m from City B. My family does a little business.”

City B? Zhao Hong had many business colleagues from City B. He had never heard of any rich family there with the surname Qin. He reckoned Qin Yu was another ordinary rich businessman. He could not help but curl his lips.

“The Zhenting Group is a well-known group in City A. Although we are not the richest, we are a member of the upper class. Jinxing is the princess of Zhao Family. We raised her well since she was young. She cannot simply marry you.”

“Of course.”

“In my opinion, I definitely don’t want my daughter to marry you. However, she was not wise enough that she insisted to marry you without my permission. Don’t ever think that you can soar to the sky by marrying her! You have nothing to do with the shares of Zhenting Group. You can’t participate in the management either.”

Qin Yu said calmly, “I don’t have any interest in Zhenting Group. This belongs to Jinxing, I will only help protect what belongs to her.”

“I’ve recorded everything you’ve said right now. We will write it all down in the agreement. It will be notarized by a lawyer and can’t be changed!”

“No problem.”

Zhao Hong frowned. Why would this kid do this when he couldn’t get the company shares?

“However, even if you can’t get the shares, you can’t skip the betrothal gifts that you should give Jinxing.” As he spoke, Zhao Hong took out the list that he had prepared long ago and pushed it in front of Qin Yu.
