The Passerby I Married Is The Richest Man! [Transmigration Into A Book]

Chapter 17 Part 2: On the eve of becoming rich

"Then, let's clear up the misunderstanding right now!" Bai Zhen Zhen calmly replied, "President Leng, I only have respect for you but I don't like you, and your love for me is nothing more than a feeling of novelty. I also believe that with your identity and character you will not hinder my and brother Xiang's happiness, right?"

Huo Xiang stood silently at the side. He was still entrapped in the "Brother Xiang" spell and hadn't come out.

Leng Hao Chen pondered for a moment, and a reluctant smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Of course," he replied, with a somewhat sad tone, "how could I like this kind of ordinary woman like you?"

"Then... I wish President Leng and Miss Song a happy and loving life and to grow old together in conjugal bliss." Bai Zhen Zhen said.

Leng Hao Chen stared blankly and subconsciously asked: "How do you know her?"

Bai Zhen Zhen calmly replied: "I don't know if President Leng still remembers my stepsister. She has impure thoughts and wanted to get close to you, so she investigated everything about you. I also learnt about your fiancée from her."

Leng Hao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he continued to listen to Bai Zhen Zhen's explanation.

"My step-sister thought I also liked you, President Leng, so she wanted to create a misunderstanding between me and Miss Song, and be the fisherman that catches both the sandpiper and the clam when they fight. But I found out that Miss Song is actually a very gentle person, and very well-matched with President Leng, and also that she has always loved the president dearly. Although Miss Song doesn't know me, I like her very much, so I especially hope that President Leng can cherish the people in front of him and don't miss his own true happiness."

Done speaking, Bai Zhen Zhen took Huo Xiang's hand and raised it in front of Leng Hao Chen: "Brother Xiang and I give you our best wishes!"

Leng Hao Chen didn't speak. But Bai Zhen Zhen saw the look in his eyes and knew that he had already been moved by her words.

"Let's go." Bai Zhen Zhen pursed her lips and said to Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang nodded and left the shopping mall hand in hand with Bai Zhen Zhen. He thought that Leng Hao Chen would chase after them, but he didn't.

"Who is Miss Song?" Huo Xiang asked Bai Zhen Zhen curiously.

"Leng Hao Chen's fiancée, a very beautiful and classy young lady." Bai Zhen Zhen paused, then said sorrowfully, "if I were to write a novel, she would be the heroine of the book..."

When she was reading the book, Bai Zhen Zhen immediately liked the character Song Ling. But later in the story, the author unexpectedly 'corrupted' her.

Song Ling was born in a noble family and was beautiful and intelligent, and she also had a kind and gentle temperament. However, because her beloved fiancée suddenly fell in love with the heroine of the book, under the instigation of those vicious women, she ended up doing things she would never do, and wrong step after wrong step, she completely sank into the swamp.

Bai Zhen Zhen finally recovered her train of thought and asked Huo Xiang: "I almost forgot, I haven't asked you yet! What were you thinking, being so noisy like that on the stage just now?"

Huo Xiang's face looked completely innocent: "Didn't I do that to add fuel to the fire ah! Don't you think the result was good?"

Bai Zhen Zhen raised her eyebrows, no comments.

"However, after my lightbulb moment just a few minutes ago, I have now an idea." Huo Xiang said again.

Bai Zhen Zhen looked at him suspiciously, waiting for him to continue his words.

"Let's get married!"
