Chapter 702: You Want To Marry Me

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In a sanatorium in the suburbs of Qing City.

Uncle Chi stood in front of the door and looked at Zhan Haoze with disapproval in his eyes.

“Young Master, now that the Zhan family is in your hands, why do you –”

“Get out of the way.” Zhan Haoze’s voice was very aloof. He looked at Uncle Chi, who was standing in front of him with an ice-cold gaze.

Feeling extremely regretful at this moment, Uncle Chi gritted his teeth. He still wanted to stop Zhan Haoze, but the people around Zhan Haoze had already held him up.

Just like that, Zhan Haoze pushed open the door behind him and walked in.

The room inside was very nice. It didn’t look like an ordinary senior care facility. The room was very large, with a bed in the middle. Zhan Kun was currently sleeping on the bed. A wheelchair was placed next to the bed.

It was already winter in Qing City, and the cold wind outside was biting cold. Due to his previous stroke, half of Zhan Kun’s body couldn’t move.

However, he was still conscious and could still move. When he saw Zhan Haoze enter the room, his eyes were wide open. He looked at Zhan Haoze as if he was looking at an enemy.

“You, you…” After two consecutive strokes, Zhan Kun’s voice was hoarse. He raised a hand to point at Zhan Haoze.

However, even though he could move his hand, he was still trembling when he raised it. This made him even angrier, and the expression on his face looked very ferocious.

Zhan Haoze didn’t notice the gloomy expression on his face. He walked to the bedside and pulled out a chair to sit down. His legs were elegantly folded together.

“You, you –”

“B * stard.” Zhan Haoze looked at him saw that it was hard for him to even breathe. He said the last two words for him, “Change some new words. You should know that this b * stard is also your seed.”

Zhan Kun’s face had turned purple. Zhan Haoze sneered, “Isn’t it? If you didn’t give birth to my father, where would I come from?”

He chuckled and propped up his chin with one hand. “So, isn’t it you who’s the philadendering one?”

Zhan Kun was gasping for breath. Zhan Haoze looked at his agitated expression. “Oh right, you probably don’t know, right? The Zhan family is now in my hands.”

“You –”

There was nothing that made Zhan Kun more angry and resentful than this. When he saw Zhan Haoze enter the door and knew that Zhan Haoze wasn’t dead, he already knew that something must have gone wrong.

Now, Zhan Haoze’s words made him understand that someone had lied to him.

“Speaking of which, I really have to thank your good men. If Uncle Chi didn’t hand over the Zhan family to me, how could I have gotten the Zhan family so easily?”

“Ah.” Zhan Kun couldn’t even finish his sentence. His eyes filled with hatred, he pointed at Zhan Haoze.

“It’s been about four to five months. Do you know what I’ve done in these four to five months?”

Zhan Haoze didn’t need his response. He came today just to let Zhan Kun know what he had done.

“Last month, that Zhan Yi who that you think highly of made a mistake in his investment and then accidentally slept with Brother Rong’s woman. Now, he’s being pursued by Brother Rong.”

“You — you –”

Zhan Kun’s face was already turning blue. Zhan Haoze frowned slightly. “Logically speaking, Zhan Yi is a member of the Zhan family, so brother Rong should give some face to the Zhan family, but I told him that there’s no need to give me face. Just deal with him as you should.”

Zhan Kun covered his heart with one hand. He wasn’t even be able to say ‘you’.

“As for Zhan Yi’s father, Zhan Zhi, yes. Because his son was being pursued by Brother Rong, he went to find Brother Rong. He wanted to take revenge on Brother Rong, but in the end, he died in brother Rong’s hands. Tsk, how pitiful.”

His face turning from green to black, Zhan Kun was already panting heavily.

“Oh right, there’s also Zhan Li and Zhan Yang. I asked them to develop a branch office in South Africa. As you know, we don’t have a branch office in South Africa. The two of them are the same. Their tempers are too bad. They act very arrogant and haughty in the local area, and they had conflicts with the locals. Now, one of them has lost two legs, and the other one has lost a pair of hands. How tragic.”

Wanting to point at Zhan Haoze, Zhan Kun raised his hand again. Zhan Haoze laughed. Your other son, Zhan Quan, is scared out of his wits. He brought his two foolish sons, Zhan Cheng and Zhan Shi, back to his father-in-law’s place. He took the initiative to call me and told me that he would never go back to Qing City for the rest of his life. He just wanted me to spare his family’s lives.”

“You see, no matter what, Mingquan is still my uncle. Since he begged me like this, of course I agreed. It’s just that his wife disliked him for being useless, and now she’s divorcing him. Last time, she was careless, and when the two of them were fighting, she actually fell down the stairs. It was said that she had broken bones, and now she’s still in the hospital. That had nothing to do with me.”

Zhan Kun’s hands were lowered again, and his body was half-curled up. He looked at Zhan Haoze, and his eyes were red, but he couldn’t say a word.

“Oh right, after saying so much, I still haven’t mentioned Zhan Lie, who is currently staying in the Zhan family’s mansion –”

Zhan Kun’s eyes were about to pop out. The veins on his forehead were about to pop out.

“Don’t worry, his hands and feet are still there. Other than not being able to leave the house and not having any freedom, there’s nothing bad about him. It’s just that his wife isn’t too good. Every day, she looks at Zhan Li and Zhan Yang’s broken hands and feet while cursing me eight hundred times a day.”

Zhan Kun’s face was already filled with anguish. He was originally half sitting, but now that his body was curled up, his face, which was already covered with age spots, was filled with pain.

“You must be wondering why I didn’t make a move on the couple, right?”

“Don’t be anxious. I like to take it slow. Keep them alive and torture them slowly.”

Zhan Kun was already speechless. He looked as if he was about to suffocate from pain. Zhan Haoze stood up at this time and looked down at this old man who was already old and had no ability to resist.

“Do you hate me? Just hate me. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. Here, I will invite the best medical team to save your life. I want you to see how the Zhan family has flourished in my hands and how it has been destroyed bit by bit by me.”

Looking at Zhan Kun, who was rolling his eyes and about to faint, Zhan Haoze’s gaze was cold. “You should have thought of this long ago when you shot my mother.”

Before Zhan Kun lost consciousness, he bent down and said, “Back then, you really should have killed me too.”

After saying this, Zhan Haoze stood up and left without looking back.

Zhan Kun completely fainted. Zhan Haoze left the room and let the people loosen their grip on Uncle Chi.

Uncle Chi didn’t even bother to say anything. He hurriedly ran into the room and asked, “Master Kun, Master Kun, how are you?”

Zhan Haoze waved his hand, and immediately, doctors and nurses rushed in. He glanced at the doctor, who was walking at the back.

“Save his life. Don’t let him die. I want him to live a little longer.”

When he left the facility, Zhan Haoze was in a very good mood. Tang Hua saw the joy on his face.

“Boss, are we going back to the company now or –”

“Go to Lin City.”

In the past few months since he took over the Zhan family, those people had been constantly making big moves. He had narrowly escaped death a few times.

Last time, he almost got injured and didn’t even have a good New Year’s. In such a situation, he didn’t have the time to look for Shi Mengwan.

Last time, Shi Mengwan said she was going back to Lin City. For her safety, he let her go back. Now that the problem was almost solved, of course, he had to go and fetch him back.

“Yes.” Tang Hua nodded, however, he suddenly remembered something else. “Oh right, boss. Huo Jinyao, president Huo’s wife, gave birth to a pair of twins. The baby shower is to be held in two days, and an invitation had been sent over. Mrs. Huo and Ms. Shi were on such good terms that Ms. Shi would definitely attend. Why don’t we go to Rong City first? Otherwise, if we go to Lin City, Ms. Shi will go to Rong City –”

Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes. “Then let’s go to Rong City. Prepare a generous gift for me.”

Not to mention his cooperation with Zhan Haoze these few times, just with the relationship between Shi Mengwan and Su Qingsang, they would have to interact in the future. In that case, they had to prepare a generous gift.

“Okay.”

Zhan Haoze relaxed and thought of Shi Mengwan’s beautiful face. With her personality, he believed that she would be angry with him for not looking for her for such a long time.

When they met tomorrow, perhaps he should coax her.

Zhan Haoze, who had solved more than half of the problem, was already thinking about how to coax Shi Mengwan.

..

The Huo family’s baby shower jut w was indeed very lively. Zhan Haoze asked Tang Hua to check when he arrived in Rong City. Shi Mengwan had arrived the day before yesterday. She was staying at the Huo family’s residence and was accompanying Su Qingsang.

Zhan Haoze wouldn’t go to the Huo family to look for her. After enduring for a day, he finally had the chance to meet Shi Mengwan today.

He had traveled around Rong City a lot in the past few years and many people knew him. Especially with the recent rise of the Zhan family in Qing City, Zhan Haoze had become a popular figure in Qing City.

After greeting a few people who had worked with him before, he had no choice but to socialize with them. He finally saw Shi Mengwan.

Shi Mengwan didn’t see him. At this moment, she leaned in front of Su Qingsang and looked at the baby in her arms.

Her eyes were full of smiles, and her gaze toward the baby was very gentle. He had never seen Shi Mengwan like this before.

Zhan Haoze was just about to step forward when a man appeared. Wan Xianyang, Huo Jinyao’s childhood friend, was looking at Shi Mengwan with displeasure.

He knew that Shi Mengwan didn’t like Wan Xianyang, but having such a man appear beside Shi Mengwan from time to time was enough to make him unhappy.

In the past, he had no choice. In order to destroy he Zhan family, he had to endure it.

But now, he didn’t need to endure. Naturally, he didn’t need to watch Wan Xianyang fawn over his woman.

Fortunately, before he could go forward, Shi Mengwan had already taken the initiative to stand quite a distance away. Then, she excused herself to the bathroom and left.

He followed behind her. He didn’t expect that Shi Mengwan would send Wan Xianyang away and Li Junsheng would come after her.

Li Junsheng was a character that was even more difficult to deal with than Wan Xianyang. In the past two years, he had done a lot in Lin City. He had pulled down a bunch of people and helped another bunch of people.

The key was that he as scandal-free and upright. And he had clearly seen it. Li Junsheng’s eyes were filled with interest towards Shi Mengwan.

That wasn’t a good thing for him..

Ten minutes later, he looked at Shi Mengwan, who was being suppressed by him.

She was obviously very surprised to see him. However, the surprise was only for a moment. Soon, other emotions were revealed in her eyes.

“Are you crazy? Is this the men’s washroom?”

Looking at the accusation in her eyes, he thought about how she could smile at Li Junsheng just now.

Zhan Haoze couldn’t help it in the end. He lowered his head and kissed her lips in an overbearing manner.

Since that day, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to look for her, or even that he didn’t want to contact her.

It was just that the situation in the Zhan family was complicated. Not to mention the illegitimate children that Zhan Kun had acknowledged, there were also quite a number of people whose surname was Zhan but he hadn’t made public.

Although Zhan Kun didn’t acknowledge these people, he still had some connections with them.

Zhan Quan, Zhan Lie, and a few others had their own forces in the Zhan family and Qing City after all these years.

He had made a deal with Uncle Chi, but it didn’t mean that he had made a deal with others.

It was better to be careful. In order not to put her in any danger, he could only suppress the urge to see her.

“Zhan Haoze, let go of me.”

When he let go of her, the first thing she said made him unhappy again.

She always let go of him, broke up with him, didn’t want to see him, and resisted him.

But she was able to treat other men with a 30% smile and 70% gentleness. The longing from having not seen her for a long time coupled with the stimulation of seeing her chatting and joking with other men made him a little tongue-tied.

“Wan Xianyang, Huo Jinyao’s childhood friend, the second young master of the Wan family. He now runs two antique stores, and Gu Langxuan’s business is very big. Every year, it brings in hundreds of millions of Yuan in profits to Wan Xianyang.”

And this was only one shop in Gu Langxuan. As for the other businesses, the second young master of the Wan family was also doing quite well.

As for the other one —

“Li Junsheng, mayor of Lin City. His family had been in power for generations. Li Junsheng is young, but he is already the mayor of Lin City. In the past year, he had used a master to attract business and investment to develop and transform the old city area of Lin City. His popularity in Lin City is very high.

“I didn’t expect you to be so good at seducing men. To think that you could attract the attention of two men like him in one go.”

Seeing Shi Mengwan angrily about to slap him, Zhan Haoze grabbed her hand. “Are you angry?”

The person who should be angry should be him, right? Why didn’t she keep a distance from other men?

Shi Mengwan was more than angry. She was simply furious. “Zhan Haoze, not every man is like you.”

“Like me? What is this like? Hm?”

Zhan Haoze leaned over and leaned close to Shi Mengwan’s face. The breath he exhaled pointed at her cheek.

“Don’t you like people like me like this?”

“Who likes you?”

“Isn’t it you?” The woman in front of her was the one who said that men wouldn’t acknowledge women after getting out of bed, right?

“Who was the one who kept calling me husband last time? Who was the one who said that she loved me? Liked me? And who was the one who kept asking me to do it — you? Hm?”

Shi Mengwan’s hand was grabbed by Zhan Haoze, and she was so angry that her face was red.

If this man hadn’t shamelessly used such a method to force her last time, why would she say so many shameless words?

When she thought about the last time they had sex, she couldn’t bear to look back at the methods this man had used on her.

Every time she thought about it, she would be so embarrassed that she would be ashamed. And now, he had to bring it up again.

Shi Mengwan couldn’t hit him, so she was furious. She simply moved her mouth forward and bit down hard on his arm.

She bit very hard. The grievance that she had been entangled with Zhan Haoze for more than a year, the humiliation of being bullied by him again and again, the shame of being forced to be a “mistress”.

At this moment, all of it turned into the strength in her teeth. The more she bit, the harder she bit. She even tasted the taste of fresh blood.

She didn’t let go, and Zhan Haoze let her bite until her lips were numb from biting. She couldn’t bite anymore and had no choice but to step back.

He finally lifted her chin and made her look at him.

“So ruthless.” He looked at the blood on her lips and wiped it away gently. The words that came out of her mouth made Shi Mengwan want to bite him again.

“Fortunately, it was your hand. If it was my other parts, you wouldn’t have the happiness in your next life.”

Shi Mengwan opened her mouth to bite him again, but he hugged her. At the same time, he lowered his head and gave her another long kiss.

When he kissed her until she couldn’t breathe, he finally let go of her and hugged her soft body in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair gently.

“My hand is so hard. It’s a waste of effort for you to bite me, and your teeth must hurt.”

He moved closer to her ear and nibbled on her earlobe gently. “If you really like to bite people so much, I’d rather you bite another part of me –”

Shi Mengwan understood the hint in Zhan Haoze’s words and recalled the embarrassing scene from last time. She couldn’t stay any longer and pushed him away.

Zhan Haoze wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her again.

“It’s boring to attend such a banquet. Why don’t we leave first?”

“If you want to leave, you can leave. I’m not leaving.”

She especially liked Su Qingsang’s pair of fraternal twins. She couldn’t wait to hug them for a while longer, so she didn’t want to leave just like that.

“You like children?” Zhan Haoze looked at her eyes and knew what she was thinking. “If you really like them that much, we can have a child too.”

“Have a child?” Her eyes full of ridicule, Shi Mengwan suddenly turned around to look at him. “Zhan Haoze, you said you want to have a child with me?”

“En. Can’t I?”

“Do you know what it means for you to have a child with me?”

“What?”

“The child must have my surname and enter my Shi family tree.” Shi Mengwan sneered with a smug look on her face. “More importantly, I’m not even married to you. What right do I have to have a child with you?”

“You want to marry me?” Zhan Haoze looked at her with a look that Shi Mengwan had never seen before.

“Do you dare?” The sarcasm on Shi Mengwan’s face deepened. “Do you dare to marry me? Zhan Haoze, do you dare to make it public? Do you dare to let others know that I’m your girlfriend?”

Instead of hiding and sneaking around like before.

Did he dare?

Zhan Haoze looked at the obvious provocation in her eyes and reached out to take her hand. “Do you want to make it public? Do you want to marry me? Do you want to let others know that I’m your boyfriend?”

“Yes. I want to. But do you dare?”

She had had enough.

She had had enough of him coming and going as he pleased.

She had had enough of it. He had taken everything from her, and he had let other women come to him.

More importantly, she had had enough of him having a fiancée. She had had enough of being called a third party.

She had had enough of all of it.

She had given him plenty of chances, again and again and again. Now, she didn’t want to give him another chance.

This was the last time. If he couldn’t do it, then he could never come looking for her again.

This wasn’t Qing City, nor was it Lin City. This was Rong City, Huo Jinyao’s territory.

And she believed that with Huo Jinyao’s ability and her relationship with Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao would definitely be able to protect her from Zhan Haoze.

Seeing that Zhan Haoze was silent, Shi Mengwan sneered and asked, “Do you dare?”

Zhan Haoze looked at her and a rare smile appeared on his face. He suddenly took her hand and led her out.

Shi Mengwan was shocked by his sudden action. Following behind him, the two of them left the men’s washroom together.

They just happened to meet someone who wanted to use the washroom. Seeing a man and a woman leaving together, Shi Mengwan was embarrassed again and wanted to find a hole to hide in.

She glared at Zhan Haoze. It was him —

Every time she met him, nothing good would happen. He always made her lose face.

While she was distracted, Zhan Haoze had already brought her to the hall.

Shi Mengwan realized what Zhan Haoze was going to do, and it was too late for her to leave. She held Zhan Haoze’s hand and appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

Su Qingsang had just coaxed Nian Nian and was about to give her a hug to the nanny when she saw Zhan Haoze and Su Qingsang walking out hand in hand. Her eyes widened, as if her eyeballs were about to fall out.

Huo Jinyao happened to be surrounded by the group of friends. He held her in his arms and thought about it.

Wan Xianyang was so jealous that he wanted to coax Huo Jinyao to give him a hug. He glanced around and saw it too. His eyes widened in shock.

The moment he saw Zhan Haoze, he remembered who he was.

He had no choice. Zhan Haoze’s reputation had been too great over the past few months?

In terms of tactics and schemes, who could compare to Zhan Haoze?

Based on the way he dealt with his cousins and uncles in the Zhan family, this person was enough to make people feel chills running down their spines.

But now, this man, who could make people feel a chill down their spine, was holding a woman’s hand with a gentle expression?

By the time Shi Mengwan wanted to pull her hand back, it was already too late. Su Qingsang had already seen it.

Zhan Haoze held her hand very unabashedly and walked towards Su Qingsang’s direction.

“You –”

Su Qingsang really didn’t have a good impression of Zhan Haoze. Last year, when she went to Qing City to play, she saw him bringing another woman with him. He already had a fiancée in Lin City, but after seeing what he did, she disliked him even more.

Even if Zhan Haoze and Huo Jinyao had some business dealings, that was only between them.

From her point of view, she really didn’t like people like Zhan Haoze.

“Mrs. Huo.” Zhan Haoze put his arm around Shi Mengwan’s waist and nodded slightly. “Thank you for taking care of Wanwan these few days. Thank you.”

Su Qingsang blinked and looked at Zhan Haoze, then at Shi Mengwan. Suddenly, she smiled. “You’re welcome, President Zhan. Wanwan is my best friend, so it’s my duty to take care of her. However, I’m a little confused by President Zhan’s thank you. May I know in what capacity, President Zhan, how do you thank me?”

“Wanwan’s boyfriend and future husband.”

Zhan Haoze announced sarcastically. He tightened his grip around Shi Mengwan’s waist and let her come closer to him. “When Wanwan and I get married, I’d like to invite Mrs. Huo over for a celebratory drink.”

His response was so smooth thT Shi Mengwan looked at him with an amused expression on her face.

He was really daring. Did he even know what he was talking about?
