Chapter 197: Acceptance
Translator: Lonelytree
Mai Qi was silent for a long ti.
I did not disturb her.
Finally, she spoke. “My mother just told that my father had arranged a marriage for . He hopes that I would agree to it.”
I sat up straight in shock. “Mai Qi, di-did you agree to it?”
Mai Qi shook her head. “I haven’t but Nanxing, do you know the consequence if I don’t?”
“You’d be chased out from the family?” I said carefully.
Mai Qi smiled sadly, “I’ve already taken my mother’s surna, what family is there for to be chased out from?”
“Then...” I couldn’t think of anything else.
“Nanxing, if I am only Mai Qi and not Young Miss Mai in the future, will you take in?” Mai Qi looked at seriously.
“Of course.” I hugged her. “You saw how lonely this place is. Other than myself, there is only my unreliable uncle. I am more than happy to take you as my sister. Of course, you are also welco to be my little aunt and give a few more little cousins to play with!”
“Oh, Nanxing!” The blushing Mai Qi pinched . I attacked back until we tumbled around laughing. After we settled down, I asked, “Mai Qi, what happened? Did you get into an argunt with your family?”
Mai Qi shook her head. “No, my mother ca to find and told about this. I didn’t agree and begged her to let be. I told her to just pretend that I don’t exist, after all, I have never existed under the sun.
“My mother said she had used her whole life to fight for this opportunity for . This is the best chance for . But Nanxing, what is the best? My mother doesn’t get it. She wants to replicate her own life on . I want to be the real Mai Qi, my own Mai Qi.” Mai Qi’s tears fell silently.
I hugged her and patted her back gently. “Don’t cry. If you don’t mind my background, join Sky City and work for . I will give you a salary and bonus. If you work hard, having a good life is not a problem but you have to cut down on the luxuries. For example, if you work overti, you can’t use expensive face masks anymore.”
I rambled until Mai Qi burst out laughing.
“Everything is going to be fine,” I told her.
Mai Qi cald down and she said worriedly, “Nanxing, another thing my mother told is that many people have co to M City from the capital. Since you have joined Nan Corporation, you need to be careful. These people are targeting you, your uncle, and Jing Tian. They are all sohow related to the Shi Family.”
I nodded. I already noticed that. Jing Tian and my little uncle’s speculation was right. But then, so what?
I needed to pick up the speed by which I devoured Nan Corporation. I wasn’t one to nibble. I had purchased plenty of company shares in private from the other shareholders. Only a few Nan Feng’s loyalists remained. But I wasn’t in a hurry. Such was the rule of doing business, the first to show hands was the first to lose.
