Shancai Rebirth: My Choice
Chapter 187 Mr. Huo is critically ill
If she was familiar with it, she wouldn't need navigation.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Shan Lai had to fork one and feed it to his mouth, "This is very sweet. I tasted it for you last night."
Lei opened his mouth and took a bite. "Hmm, it's very sweet."
Shan Lai lifted the hair that fell around her ears and handed the fruit plate to her, but Lei did not take it.
She asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to eat anymore?"
As she said that, she put down the fruit plate and reached for her cell phone.
"This apple is very sweet." Lei hinted to her.
Shan Lai didn't understand, but just found it funny. "If you think it's sweet, eat two more."
The class still didn't move.
"Forget it, kids should eat more fruits." Shan Lai put down his phone and fed him another one with a fork.
After feeding the baby, Shanlai picked up his phone to read the news. Just as he refreshed the page, a hot headline popped up with the title "Mr. Huo is critically ill."
Shan Lai silently clicked on the title and took a look. It was quite convincing.
But she had just seen Huo Cheng more than two hours ago. Huo Cheng's arrogant look didn't seem like Mr. Huo was critically ill. At least at this moment, she didn't believe it.
Huo Cheng's confidence all comes from the Huo family. If Mr. Huo was really critically ill, she wouldn't go out shopping.
If it was really as the headline said, Huo Cheng would be too heartless to go shopping and find someone to kidnap her at this time.
Lei watched her expression change from indifferent to solemn, and leaned over to look at her phone interface. Shan Lai was afraid that he couldn't see it, so he simply handed it to her.
He read the headline carefully, and there was no major emotion on his face, as if he was not surprised by this matter at all.
"People in the circle have long said that Mr. Huo is in poor health. You hadn't returned to Country K at that time, so you didn't know." Lei explained to her.
"From this point of view, the Huo family's failure to be selected has a lot to do with this." Shan Lai looked at Lei with a smile.
She is very smart.
Mr. Huo was once the chairman of the committee, but his disciples had long since replaced his position. As the saying goes, the new generation pushes the old generation forward, and each generation is stronger than the previous one.
Different people will naturally have different ways of doing things when they take office, and will also cultivate their own power. Mr. Huo has retired for more than ten years, and that position has been taken by a different person.
Those who followed him back then have all built their own careers. Although they have his support, they are not willing to sacrifice the rest of their careers for such a small favor.
The Huo family has long lost its presence, and they are only treated with respect out of consideration for old man Huo's past reputation.
What's more, Mrs. Huo had offended many people when she was young, so those people were considered to have some conscience by not stepping on her at this time.
It is conceivable what the future of the Huo family will be like.
So at this time they need the support of other families to consolidate their position. If Nadel stays, their chances of being selected are still great.
The system of Country M is different from that of Country K, and Nadel's family background is at two extremes from theirs. The high-level officials they rely on behind them must have a lot of say. If they had the support of the Nadel family, it might not be the Ximen family that would be elected this time.
"My little girlfriend is very smart, a clever kid." He praised her.
Shan Lai was very satisfied with his words. "Do you think I'm just a playboy who lives a life of idleness and waits for death?" She raised her eyebrows.
Although she didn't know much about how the wealthy families in Country K operated, she knew a lot. When she was in Country M, she also helped her father deal with many affairs.
She still understands many rules, such as the rule that the strong are king, which is followed by most people. The end of this rule is capital.
If you have the capital and ability, then go for it. If you don't have the capital but have the ability, it depends on whether there is anyone who can recognize your talent and appreciate you. If you follow the right person, you can soar to success.
Those without capital are just cannon fodder, or maybe not even cannon fodder, but just poor creatures being exploited by capital.
In the past, she just thought that people from wealthy families were very arrogant and looked down on ordinary people.
When she experienced all of this herself, she realized how important resources were. They were arrogant because they had capital. People of different classes couldn't even talk to each other, let alone anything else.
So she was very fortunate, extremely fortunate that she had everything she had today.
"Dandy boy?" Lei suddenly became interested and looked at her with burning eyes, "Why do you say that?"
"My uncle is so smart that he wouldn't choose a dandy boy to be the heir of the Denghe family." Lei smiled and rubbed her head. "The rich children who can be heirs are not ordinary people. I won't say all of them, but at least in one aspect you must be better than everyone in your family, so I trust you very much."
Hearing Lei say this, Shan Lai rubbed her ears embarrassedly. She was just joking just now. How could she possibly treat that playboy seriously?
"What about you? What kind of person are you?" Shan Lai asked him.
She wanted to know.
The heir is definitely not an ordinary person. To put it bluntly, those who can be heirs are ruthless characters who are ruthless to others and even more ruthless to themselves.
Her father once told her that if she wanted to convince others, she had to show her toughness and wisdom. She couldn't show weakness in front of others. Once they noticed her weakness, someone would want to replace her.
"As for me, no matter what, I will always be the most sincere one to you. I will not lie to you." Lei looked at her gently and spoke his true feelings.
"I am also good at some things. For example, I am good at making you happy."
"Stop it." Shanlai chuckled.
"I'm not kidding. I'm serious." Lei answered her seriously, and as if afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he added, "Of course I have to be good at making you happy. What if I make you unhappy one day and you cry? It wouldn't look good if you cried like a little cat."
"My girlfriend should be happy and beautiful every day."
Shan Lai was very moved by what she heard. After a long while she said, "Actually, you don't have to coax me. You're so gentle, how could I really be angry? My anger has disappeared by half just by looking at your face." As she spoke she began to laugh again. She really couldn't get angry at Lei's handsome face.
Even if she was angry, it was her fault.
How could she be angry at such a gentle and handsome boy? He was so good-looking.
Lei was stunned. Did she mean that she wasn't angry just because of his face?
"Shanlai, do you like my face very much?" Lei paused before asking this question. He still didn't quite believe that Shanlai was not angry with him just because of his face.
