Don't Want to See You In The Next Life (Volume 2)

Chapter 50

Xia Liang didn't understand for a while. 

"Me?"

Ying Mohua seemed to have expected Xia Liang's reaction. He waved his hand and motioned the bodyguards to put away their guns and explained with a pleasant tone.

"As long as you follow me, not only can you keep your Xia family, I can even command my human resources to think of ways to help you treat your illness. What do you think?"

Zhou Shuo's protective gesture became more tense. 

"Brother Liang, don't believe him. This person...have bad intentions."

Xia Liang looked at Zhou Shuo and then at Ying Mohua. No matter how dull he was, after experiencing a series of unspeakable things between him and Zhou Shuo and seeing the unconcealed desire to conquer in Ying Mohua's eyes, he also gradually opened up.

However, the first feeling in his heart was not anger but surprise. He didn't have much feelings for homosexuality. Because it is irrelevant, he is not sympathetic but does not discriminate.

But since Xia Lin's coming out of the closet, his life seems to have been opened to a new world. In just a few years, homosexuals have sprung up from him like mushrooms.

The matter between him and Zhou Shuo has not been settled and now he is taking the risk of a chaebol and noble heir to express his unreasonable goodwill to him. Xia Liang subconsciously touched his bulging belly under the cloak, wondering dumbfounded, did he take the script of the heroine Mary Sue by mistake?

(Mary Sue character:  a type of female character who is depicted as unrealistically lacking in flaws or weaknesses)

Ying Mohua has been paying attention to Xia Liang's reaction. When he saw an inexplicable smile on the opponent's face, he couldn't help but be a little confused, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now." Xia Liang forcibly pulled back his thoughts that had been a little out of control, turned his attention back to Ying Mohua, and asked seriously, "If, I promise to reward myself, then what?"

Zhou Shuo didn't expect Xia Liang to react like this, so he turned around and shouted anxiously, "Brother Liang!" 

Xia Liang raised his hand to signal Zhou Shuo and then said to Ying Mohua, "What does President Ying plan to do with me?"

Ying Mohua narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Liang. He originally thought that with Xia Liang's current status, he would be angry on the spot, accusing himself of insulting his personality and trampling on his dignity.

But Xia Liang's reaction was beyond his expectation. Before he knew what smoke bomb the other party had thrown, he needed a little time to consider how to take the topic thrown by the other party.

Xia Liang saw Ying Mohua not speaking and continued, "Sorry, President Ying, maybe poverty has limited my imagination. It is really hard for a small businessman like us to understand you."

"After the incident in those branches in the United States, we intuitively checked the developments of the Nelson family in recent months. To be honest, the results made me a little confused. In recent years, the Nelson family's inheritance struggle has gradually surfaced. On the surface, the situation is generally not optimistic, otherwise you will not adopt roundabout tactics and go back to China first to obtain the support of the matriarchal clan. 

"At this time, you should be more concealed and nurture talents. If you can take advantage of the time when the first heir is fighting with the second heir, you can make good use of the power of the matrilineal family to develop and grow and then reap the benefits. I believe that within five years, you will be able to win a higher approval rate in the family so I was still more optimistic about you. But in recent months, what you did has disappointed me a bit. You did not spend all your energy on the blade but exposed some of the vices of the chaebol, such as spending big money to raise a celebrity, or make some detrimental tricks for a small business like Xia, which is meaningless to you.

"Actually, you should understand that no matter my decision, it will not help you in any way. If the news reaches the Nelson family, it will virtually reduce your reputation and support rate in the family. After all, there is no investor who is willing to bet on a short-sighted dude.

"Sorry, maybe my evaluation is a bit offensive to you but I still can't help but want to ask, what is the bigger picture of what you did? Beauty? Forget it, I'm quite aware of myself. Desire to conquer? Could the pleasure of conquering a small businessman in my area surpass your ambition to win the final crown of the Nelson family in the future?"

Xia Liang said a lot and Ying Mohua listened in silence, lowering his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the end, he raised his eyes to Xia Liang. 

"Do you really think that I still have the qualifications to compete with others in the Nelson family?"

Xia Liang felt a little relaxed. His guess was correct. Ying Mohua was gradually squeezed out into a marginal figure in the battle between the first two heirs. His return to China was seen as a cryptic tactic for outsiders, but for him, it might have been because of frustration.

Xia Liang gave some advice to Mo Hua but he cleverly avoided the sensitive question raised by Ying Mohua. Sure enough, Ying Mohua was poked by him with a hidden weakness in his heart. Instead of becoming angry, he calmed down and began to think seriously about Xia Liang's advice.

"Within five years, the situation will definitely change." Xia Liang said with confidence, "President Ying is in the game but couldn't see his fortune. But you might as well think about it the other way around. If you are really uncompetitive, why are the approval ratings of those behind you still watching the ups and downs at a certain level instead of falling to the bottom overnight? Mr. Ying is now flourishing, why can't you wait for another 5 years?"
