"I said ?"

"Don't say it's because of that tattoo, I don't believe you." Slight Chill interrupted him. What she wanted was the real reason.

"You want a reason?" Huo Subai muttered to himself, poured a cup of water for her, and poured another for himself. After drinking, he replied: "My family is rather complicated, if I want to obtain twenty percent of the family's shares, it's on the premise of marriage. I've been dating for the past six months, firstly, I want to smoothly obtain the shares, and secondly, my grandfather's health is poor.

Slight Chill had also heard of children inheriting shares in large clans. She just hoped that their descendants would be able to control the wealth at a mature age, so she understood, "But why is it me? That Miss Wang is very compatible with you, she is also willing to marry you. Your family is very satisfied with her ?"

Huo Subai stared at Slight Chill, when she spoke to him, she would always lower her eyes and lower her eyebrows.

He lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself. He replied slowly, "I want to control my own life, not accept the arrangements from my family. At 31 years old, how much longer can I live for myself?"

That's right, Wang Family was a powerful being only second to Bo Family. If Huo Subai marries that Miss Wang, then he must consider the face of Wang Family before doing anything, and it would be hard to control.

If Huo Subai married her, not only would he be able to obtain shares, he could also do whatever he wanted ?

The reason for marrying her was because it was easy to control. No one was willing to accept this reason for getting married, right? For a moment, his heart felt a little cold and uncomfortable.

A few days ago, she was still discussing it with Xiao Yun. Perhaps, they could use a form of business marriage to stabilize the family's situation.

"I need a wife, and you need a backer. We're just right, aren't we?" Huo Subai was still smoking, looking out the window, not looking at her, his voice so calm that it made people shiver.

Perhaps it was because he had said it so straightforwardly, and it was so embarrassing that he wanted to cry.

"I have obtained the shares, Fu Family has come out of the predicament, we can get a divorce at any time, and during the marriage, we won't interfere in each other's private life." he said again.

Slight Chill lowered her head even more. "I was married before."

"I don't mind."

It was clearly because Huo Subai had grabbed her weakness, that she had wanted to reject his suggestion, but now it had changed. Just because Huo Subai was holding onto her, she sniffed, and endured her tears. and was not sure if he had enough economic power to fill up the hole in the Fu Family.

"Sure."

The cup of water in her hand was still warm. She didn't drink a single mouthful, put it down, and was about to leave when she remembered the matter of dropping out of school. She thanked him and said, "Thank you for speaking up for me."

"I have a bit of an old friendship with Principal Fang, so there's no need to be so courteous." Reading is a path where you can see the world. Even if no one helps you, studying properly can make your path smoother and smoother. Don't give up so easily! "

This was especially similar to what a professor told a student. If the two of them had always been talking like this, she would have been extremely grateful towards him, but now, she could not feel grateful at all.

"Professor Huo, before I give you my answer, please do not bother with my matters. If you give me too much help, I will feel that I owe you something and will not be able to think about it properly."

"Alright." He promised to write his phone number down on paper and give it to her.
