The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 341 Willingly 2_1

"This is the bonus Third Master is giving you, a thank you for your contribution to the shop this year."

Xu Xiaoya understood. Initially, Third Master had said that she would receive 30% of the shop’s profits, and Xixi would get 70%. But at the end of the year, when they settled the accounts, Xixi, being cautious, hadn’t dared to take a penny, and she herself had only taken less than a third of her so-called 30%. Now that she was leaving, Third Master had calculated the remaining two-thirds for her. It was clear that he was the one who had put up all the capital, yet he refused to take any advantage from a woman.

"Xiaoya, take it. You’ll have many expenses in the future."

She felt incredibly grateful and, without pretense, accepted the check. "Thank you, Third Master, and thank you too."

"You can call me if you run into any trouble in the future. Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any help."

"Thank you."

Zhang Xiang walked to the door, then turned back. "Oh, and Third Master said he hopes you’ll take good care of Miss Yan for him."

Xiaoya smiled. "Don’t worry, Xixi and I will be living together."

Wan Donglin received a call from his mother as soon as he arrived at his office.

"Donglin, I’ve learned about what happened to Mr. Zhou’s son. It truly wasn’t a car accident. It was intentionally caused. While not entirely certain, everyone has a strong suspicion. It’s highly probable ’he’ was the one behind it."

Wan Donglin was shaken. So it really was ’him’!

"Mr. Zhou had, on many private occasions, opposed ’him’ ascending to power. It’s said that during a secret meeting, after a disagreement, Mr. Zhou grabbed a teacup from the table and threw it at ’him.’ The teacup injured the back of ’his’ hand at that very moment. ’He’ held a grudge and has already gathered a lot of evidence against Mr. Zhou. His son’s death was not without reason..."

"Lady Daqing, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

Liu Daqing gave a bitter smile. What else can we do now? "Unless you agree to marry Zhou Ting, the relationship between the Wan Family and the Zhou Family will definitely hit rock bottom. Moreover, at this critical juncture, based on my lifelong experience, forming a marriage alliance with the Zhou Family now would be utterly foolish. It would be like walking straight into a dead end."

"Donglin, you must leave the country as soon as possible."

"..."

She stated adamantly, "My previous assessment, like yours, was a timeframe of one to three years. However, my view has changed. I believe something major will happen in three months at the earliest, or within six months at the most. Donglin, the most pressing thing is for you to leave the country as soon as possible. The faster, the better. You must completely avoid this place of turmoil."

Wan Donglin remained silent.

Of course, Liu Daqing knew what was on his mind. Her voice turned stern. "You cannot continue to let your attachment to that girl cause these lingering ties!"

"Mom, I want to take her abroad with me."

Liu Daqing was slightly surprised. "She’s willing to go with you?"

"Definitely."

Isn’t she supposed to be getting married? Liu Daqing thought. How could she ’definitely’ go with you?

"Donglin, you mustn’t resort to illegal methods again. You should know that you can’t force love; it won’t be genuine."

He was supremely confident. "Mom, you can rest completely assured. If she goes abroad with me, it will be entirely of her own free will. She loves me to the point where she can’t help herself."

Liu Daqing was completely flabbergasted, utterly at a loss for words.

Once he hung up, the smile on Wan Donglin’s face vanished completely. He turned on his computer and accessed a highly classified website. There, he read a shocking internal report. His mother’s assessment and his own predictions were almost identical.

Mr. Zhou might launch a final, desperate counterattack. How many people will this fire engulf? Can the Wan Family emerge unscathed?
