Chapter 37: The Worst Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the following week, Wen Ning started planning her bid for Sky High Group. As the original CEO of Sky High Group, Yan Heng seemed to have forgotten about the business empire he had built himself.
Apart from taking Wen Li out every day, he spent the rest of his time at home either watching TV or cooking.
It looked like he had completely lost his will to fight.
And Yan Heng's state made Wen Ning's heart ache a little.
This man had been so proud since he was young. When had he ever given up on himself like this?
Hence, the greater the contrast between his present and past self, the more guilty she felt. Every day, when she returned home and saw Yan Heng busy with household matters, Wen Ning's tone became much gentler when talking to him.
It was finally time for the auction.
Wen Ning brought a few subordinates to attend the auction. To her surprise, she bumped into Yan Heng at the entrance of the venue.
"Why are you here?" Wen Ning asked in surprise.
Yan Heng also looked at Wen Ning in surprise. But he recovered quickly and was smiling as he said, "If my own company is going to be sold, it's normal for me to come and take a look, right?"
At this point, Yan Heng sized Wen Ning up again and said with a smile, "I'm a little curious. Why are you here? Could it be… that you're interested in my company too? Or is someone planning to buy my company to give it to me as a surprise?"
"Who… who wants to give it to you?" Having her thoughts exposed, Wen Ning instantly felt embarrassed. Of course, she wouldn't admit it. "I just want to earn more money. Your company's foundation is so good. If we can buy it at a cheaper price, it'll definitely be beneficial to our company's development."
Yan Heng nodded. "You have quite a good eye for business!"
"Oh my, are you two going to flirt at the door?" He Mulan's voice came from the side. "How shameless!"
Wen Ning frowned and looked at He Mulan.
He Mulan walked over with a group of people.
"Who are you calling shameless?" Wen Ning asked in displeasure.
"What about you? You seduced someone else's fiancé and got pregnant before getting married. Which of your actions aren't shameless? If I were you, I would have found a deserted place to commit suicide long ago!" He Mulan looked at Wen Ning with disdain.
Before Wen Ning could say anything else, Yan Heng pulled her behind him and said calmly, "Stop talking."
He Zhengyi looked at Yan Heng, then at Wen Ning, who was behind him. He sneered. "Yan Heng, you offended the He family and gave up my daughter for this woman? Your taste is really questionable! Now that Sky High Group has fallen to such a state, let me ask you, do you regret it?"
Yan Heng smiled. "What's there to regret?"
"Good! So tough! I hope you can still smile after I buy your company! Mulan, let's go!"
He Zhengyi brought He Mulan into the venue.
Wen Ning knew that her plan to bid for the Qingyun Group today was going to fail. Judging from the attitude of the He family just now, they were determined to win at all costs. Compared to the He family, the Wen family was too insignificant.
As expected, once the auction started, the He family didn't give anyone a chance.
The opening bid from He Zhengyi was a hundred million dollars, which scared away most of the companies intending to participate in the auction.
The auctioneer reminded him, "Mr. He, I have to remind you that Sky High Group's real value is no longer worth this price! Have you thought it through before you bid?"
"I've thought it through!" He Zhengyi smiled confidently. "It's just 100 million. I can afford it!"
"Alright! Is there anyone here who can exceed Mr. He's bid? No? Deal! Congratulations, Mr. He!"
He Zhengyi laughed out loud.
He Mulan also looked at Yan Heng smugly. Her expression seemed to be telling Yan Heng that breaking off the engagement was the worst decision he had made in his life!
