His gaze fell on He Qinzhou, his eyes filled with pride and satisfaction.
He had already watched the video of yesterday's press conference.
He felt only support and pride for He Qinzhou's impassioned speech on stage.
“Well done! With your awareness, I’m truly at ease handing the company over to you.”
He Lintian patted He Qinzhou on the shoulder, looking very pleased.
"Old man, you didn't call me to your study just to praise me, did you?"
He Qinzhou raised an eyebrow, a nonchalant smile on his face, which prompted He Lintian to laugh and scold him.
He then composed himself, his smile fading, and said seriously, "The main reason I called you back this time is to talk to you about the Luo family."
"The Luo family?"
Chapter 216: Am I scary?
"Your Uncle Luo is coming to visit us today with his eldest daughter. Speaking of which, you used to play with his eldest daughter when you were little. I wonder if you remember her?"
"The little girl's name is Luo Linshuang, she's about your age, and her mother and your mother have a good relationship, it's just a pity..."
He Lintian shook his head with some regret at this point and did not continue.
He Qinzhou didn't notice the second half of He Lintian's sentence; he only heard the first half and already knew what was going on.
Is this Uncle Luo here to sell his daughter?
The He family was originally a top-tier wealthy family, and even many first-class families would do anything to get involved with the He family.
He Qinzhou is now an extremely desirable prize, attracting everyone who wants him, whether it's good or bad.
"Oh."
After talking for a long time, He Lintian only received this reply from He Qinzhou, and he immediately understood his son's attitude.
He hesitated for a moment, but continued speaking anyway.
"I think Lin Shuang is quite nice. Why don't you meet her when you have some free time? If you like her, you can get engaged first..."
"Wait, engagement?"
He Qinzhou's tone became much sharper.
"Old man, what are you thinking? Didn't you say that I'm already engaged to Xu Mengzhu from the Xu family?"
"Now you want to push me back to that girl from the Luo family?"
"Aren't you afraid the Xu family will get angry?"
He Lintian shrugged indifferently and said lightly, "Didn't you say you didn't want to? Then there's no need to force you."
"As for whether the Xu family will be angry, that's for sure."
"However, we are the He family after all. As long as we give them some compensation, the Xu family won't hold it against us."
He Qinzhou was speechless. His father would actually offend the Xu family for the sake of this girl.
It seems that Luo Linshuang's mother and my mother have an extraordinary relationship, otherwise my adoptive father would definitely not be so helpful to them.
"Old man, can I refuse?"
He Qinzhou said quietly.
"No, this is what your father promised the Luo family. You have to go, at least to see that girl!"
He Lintian knew his son's temper; if he didn't stand up for himself, the kid might run away immediately.
At this moment, Lu Zhiyun knocked on the door and gave He Lintian a wink.
He Lintian smiled meaningfully and patted He Qinzhou on the shoulder, "The person has arrived, go down and meet them."
???
He Qinzhou shouted "Damn it!" in his heart.
This is like forcing a duck onto a shelf!
He Qinzhou was forcibly dragged downstairs by his father, only to find that guests had arrived at the He family manor.
A middle-aged man and a young woman.
He Lintian was smiling broadly.
"Come on, Qinzhou, this is your Uncle Luo, and this is your sister Lin Shuang. You rascal, come over and say hello."
"Hello."
He Qinzhou said calmly, then sat down opposite the two men.
The middle-aged man was named Luo Chengjun, the current head of the Luo family. Despite sensing He Qinzhou's disrespect, Luo Chengjun still smiled obsequiously, clearly not daring to offend the He family.
Beside him sat a young woman who seemed quite reserved.
A ponytail hung down her back, revealing her snow-white neck.
Beneath her stunningly beautiful face, her curved eyelashes fluttered gently like delicate cicada wings, and her watery eyes were as clear and bright as a small pool.
Her delicate nose and rosy, glossy lips combined to create a stunningly beautiful woman.
Upon hearing He Qinzhou's voice, she timidly looked up at him.
Upon meeting He Qinzhou's sharp gaze, the girl trembled as if startled, immediately lowering her head and eyelids, not daring to look at him again.
He Qinzhou glanced at Luo Chengjun once and then lost interest.
However, he was drawn to Luo Linshuang's reaction.
Looking at the girl opposite him, her lips were tightly pursed, her body stiff, especially her small hands, which were gripping the skirt at her knees so tightly that her fingertips turned pale.
He Qinzhou subtly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Is he so scary?
He Lintian naturally noticed He Qinzhou's somewhat rude attitude, but he was indeed in the wrong.
He cleared his throat and looked apologetically at Luo Chengjun: "Ahem, I've spoiled Qinzhou since he was little, Lao Cheng, please don't take it to heart."
Even though Luo Chengjun was unhappy, he wouldn't show it on his face. The other party was the eldest young master of the He family, and he dared not offend him too much.
"No, no... Qinzhou, I saw the press conference a couple of days ago. He's really promising at such a young age!"
"You're incredibly capable to have signed a cooperation agreement with the Dragon Medicine Association!"
"In my opinion, the He Group will definitely reach new heights under your leadership!"
"Uncle Luo was quite prescient, and I also think I'm quite capable."
Luo Chengjun was stunned.
He originally thought that He Qinzhou would definitely be modest after hearing his praise.
Who knew that He Qinzhou would act so unpredictably?
Seeing that confident look on his face, even though Luo Chengjun was usually very composed, his smile couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
"You child, how come you don't know how to be humble at all?"
Although He Lintian was also very proud of He Qinzhou, his arrogance in front of outsiders ultimately had a negative impact.
Therefore, He Lintian spoke up to rebuke.
He Lintian knew that He Qinzhou was very uncomfortable here, so to prevent him from making a fool of himself any longer, he suggested, "Qinzhou, why don't you take Linshuang for a stroll in the garden? It'll be almost dinner time soon."
Looking into He Lintian's unchanging eyes, He Qinzhou naturally understood his father's thoughts.
He rubbed his temples, not wanting to offend him on the spot, and got up and walked out without saying a word.
"Lin Shuang, hurry up, don't keep your brother from Qinzhou waiting for you."
Luo Chengjun spoke to Luo Linshuang with a kind expression.
A hint of warning was revealed in his eyes.
Luo Linshuang was reluctant, but when she saw Luo Chengjun's eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and she could only bite the bullet and follow behind He Qinzhou.
The two of them arrived silently at the pavilion in the back garden, one after the other. He Qinzhou simply said "Sit," and then took out his phone to start processing the files in his email.
Twenty minutes later.
After finishing his business, He Qinzhou looked up and saw Luo Linshuang sitting quietly opposite him.
No sense of existence.
This was He Qinzhou's second impression of the girl.
He moved his fingers and sent a message to Luo Xuewei.
[He Qinzhou: Weiwei, check the Luo family's information.]
ten minutes later.
The He Group's intelligence department sent over an electronic document.
The first page features Luo Chengjun.
He Qinzhou paused as he looked at the last note on the screen.
He favored his second daughter, Luo Shaohua, born to his second wife, while neglecting his eldest daughter, Luo Linshuang, for a long time.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and continued flipping through the pages.
……
The eldest daughter, Luo Linshuang, is gentle and timid.
……
The second daughter, Luo Shaohua, is arrogant and domineering, and looks down on everyone.
She is now engaged to Ma Tengguang, the heir to the Ma family.
Chapter 217: Xiao Tianze
"Heh, Luo Chengjun has certainly got a good plan."
He Qinzhou sneered and closed the data page.
Relying on the extraordinary relationship between Luo Linshuang's mother and his own mother, Luo Chengjun believed that by sending an unloved daughter to the He family, the Luo family could gain a powerful in-law. It was such a worthwhile deal, no wonder Luo Chengjun was unwilling to give up.
"No matter how well you plan, it all depends on whether I'm willing to do it!"
Luo Linshuang was a cowardly person, and she was also a very sensitive person.
Therefore, she sensed the change in He Qinzhou's aura immediately.
Luo Linshuang bit her lower lip tightly, and even her breathing became much lighter unconsciously.
"You don't seem like a materialistic person. Is your dad forcing you to come on this blind date?"
He Qinzhou looked at Luo Linshuang intently for a moment, then suddenly asked a question.
He trusts his own judgment of people.
"what?"
Luo Linshuang was a little confused by his sudden remark.
But when she met He Qinzhou's gaze, she felt that He Qinzhou seemed to have seen through everything.
Luo Linshuang's beautiful face suddenly dimmed, and she nodded slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Yes, she was forced to come. She was forced out of her unwelcome home to secure the last bit of benefit for her family.
"Sorry……"
Luo Linshuang managed to utter three words before slowly standing up.
He Qinzhou saw a splash of crimson beneath her hair, which covered half her face.
That was shame and embarrassment.
Just as she was about to leave, He Qinzhou suddenly felt that this woman was also a pitiful person, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Wait."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Linshuang stopped walking without turning around.
Then He Qinzhou continued, "If you go back like this, how are you going to explain it to Luo Chengjun?"
