The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 62 Lin Chen Has a Weakness
Because of insomnia, Lu Siqi didn't wake up until almost 9 a.m. the next day.

When Hua Xu saw that she had woken up, he took the porridge that had gone cold to the kitchen, reheated it for her, and then put it on the table.

Seeing the red dates in the porridge, she was surprised by the man's thoughtfulness. After sitting down and taking a sip, she found it surprisingly delicious. Lu Siqi asked, "Did you make this porridge yourself?"

“I think my cooking skills are pretty good. My son loves my cooking.” After sitting down, Hua Xu pushed the light side dish in front of her. “Try this. My son always asks me to make this dish for him whenever he comes to visit me.”

Seeing that the cabbage was cut into very small strips and there wasn't much oil, like a cold dish, Lu Siqi picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and found it surprisingly delicious.

"Does it suit your taste?" Hua Xu asked.

She nodded quickly, "Your cooking skills are really good."

After taking a few bites, he realized that neither the villa nor this apartment had he seen a single photo of his son, nor had he ever heard him mention his ex-wife...

"May I ask you a question?"

Hua Xu nodded: "Go ahead and ask."

"Aren't your son and your ex-wife in Bangnan...?"

“I don’t know if my son is in Bangnan.” He smiled helplessly. “My ex-wife lives in Huayin.”

"..." After hearing the answer, Lu Siqi regretted asking such a question.

It's like reopening someone's wounds.

Although his reply wasn't very direct, it was clear that his ex-wife and his younger brother, Hua Yin, had a clandestine relationship.

Just thinking about Hua Yin's cruelty and his ugly appearance...

The man in front of me, while not exactly handsome, was mature and pleasing to the eye.

If a woman had to choose between the two of them, she would choose Hua Xu, a gentle, considerate man who is also good-looking, right?

"Eat your food first, or the porridge will get cold again," Hua Xu reminded her.

……

After dinner, Lu Siqi was waiting for Mu Sen, but Hua Xu told her to go to Huaxi Building, "Mu Sen probably won't be coming today, Yanran went to see him."

Hua Yanran?
On the way to Huaxi Building, Hua Xu briefly explained the connection between the Hua family and the Lin family to Lu Siqi.

“The Lin family has no business cooperation with our Hua family. Old Master Lin also looks down on our Hua family’s business. My father has always wanted to get on the good side of the Lin family, so he had my aunt Hua Wanrou marry into the Yu family.”

“The Yu family and the Lin family are old friends. Lin Chen’s fiancée, Yu Nian, is the youngest daughter of my aunt Hua Wanrou and my uncle Yu Chengjian.”

So this is the origin of the relationship between the Hua family and the Lin family.

But why does the name Hua Wanrou sound so familiar?

About a minute later, Lu Siqi suddenly remembered that she wanted to apply to the art academy in Beicheng back then, and one of the art teachers in the academy's official advertisements was named Hua Wanrou...

"Your aunt? Isn't she an art teacher at the Beicheng Academy of Fine Arts?"

“Yes, that was true before.” Hua Xu nodded. “I learned to draw from my aunt.”

Lu Siqi was shocked; she never expected that Hua Wanrou was actually a member of the Hua family.

“My aunt is the cleanest person in our Hua family, otherwise my uncle would not have insisted on marrying her despite all the objections.”

When talking about his aunt Hua Wanrou, Hua Xu's eyes showed a warmth he had never felt before.

Since he entered the Hua family at the age of eight, only his aunt, Hua Wanrou, treated him as a member of the Hua family.

“My cousin Yu Nian is very kind, just like my aunt. They both have beautiful fantasies about the world. Yu Nian has never been to Bangnan or the Hua family because my aunt doesn’t want her to get involved with the Hua family’s dirty deeds.” Hua Xu looked at Lu Siqi with serious eyes. “I know I shouldn’t be telling you this.” “But whether I’m your suitor or Yu Nian’s cousin, I don’t want you to continue with Lin Chen.”

This time, Lu Siqi did not evade the issue. "President Hua, you are wrong. I have never been with Lin Chen. From beginning to end, I have only ever known Mu Sen."

Denying her relationship with Lin Chen would allow her to feel at ease believing that her casual sex relationship with Mu Sen had not hurt anyone.

……

Twenty minutes later, at Huaxi Building.

When Lu Siqi saw the joke again, it felt like a long time had passed.

When Duanzi saw her, he was so excited that he kept asking her where she had been all this time. "I sent you messages but you didn't reply. I thought you had gone back to Jianghong, Cuiying."

"If it weren't for Brother Sen telling me not to worry about you, I really would have run back to Jianghong."

The two stood in the lobby on the first floor of the company, surrounded by other staff members. They sat down in the waiting area by the window, and Lu Siqi offered to treat him to lunch: "What time do you get off work at noon? I'll treat you to lunch."

"I can skip work!" Duanzi was incredibly excited at the thought of having dinner with her. "Anyway, my performance is bad and my supervisor doesn't care about me at all. What do you want to eat, Cuiying? I'll treat you."

"Let me treat you. You were the one who always brought me food when we were in Jianghong."

As soon as she finished speaking, a man dressed in a bespoke suit and of exceptional taste stepped out of a black Maybach. Upon closer inspection, he recognized her as "Lin Chen".

It's unclear whether it was because his bespectacled, refined appearance was so different from his previous image with a full beard, a T-shirt, and a large tattoo, but when he walked into the company lobby with Hua Yanran, Duanzi glanced at the door and didn't recognize him at all.

Lu Siqi asked the joke, "Don't you think he looks a lot like your brother Sen?"

"My brother Sen?" Duanzi looked the refined and elegant man over again. His honest face showed no surprise. "My brother Sen doesn't have that kind of temperament. I don't see any resemblance. If my brother Sen looked like that, would he need to get tattoos done in Jianghong? He could just hook up with a rich heiress and live off his looks."

……

After Mu Sen finished registering with Hua Yanran, he saw Lu Siqi and Duan Zi not far away.

Knowing that his current identity could not be revealed, he calmly walked towards the elevator with Hua Yanran.

It was Hua Yanran who first noticed Lu Siqi.

Seeing the fat man sitting opposite Lu Siqi, whose uniform clearly belonged to a telemarketing employee, she nudged Mu Sen with her elbow: "Brother Lin's woman really has unique tastes. It seems like she can go after any man, no matter what he looks like."

Realizing she was belittling Lu Siqi, Mu Sen's teeth itched with anger. "Hua Yanran? You think I'm being too polite?"

His eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses suddenly turned sinister, and the gentlemanly demeanor he displayed towards the girl in public was nowhere to be seen. "From now on, watch your mouth. If you dare to say anything out of line again, don't blame me for not giving the Yu family any face."

Hua Yanran knew that without the Yu family's connection, she would not have had any relationship with the man in front of her.

She knew all too well what kind of shady dealings the Hua family had used to amass their wealth in Bangnan.

The Lin family is different. With their global influence alone, they can cut off the Hua family's clean path to making money with just a single word.

Not wanting the Hua family to continue engaging in shady dealings, Hua Yanran, like her elder brother Hua Xu, wanted to clean up the Hua family's name.

"I understand, Brother Lin. I will pay attention to my words and actions in the future." Sensing that the woman meant something different to the man in front of her, Hua Yanran felt a pang of sadness, but at the same time, she was also relieved.

Because once Lin Chen has a weakness... he can be used by them.

She's just a woman passing through, but if she can be used to keep Lin Chen in check...

This would naturally bring many benefits to the Hua family.
