The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: 118 Regret, provoked someone formidable [3 updates]

A massive noise cut off Eugene’s words.

This familiar sense of being unable to speak at a critical moment once again dragged his memory back to five days earlier.

Back then, the girl had entered bathed in light; her approach unhurried, her gaze cold and sharp as knives.

It suffocated one to the point of breathlessness.

Eugene’s smile stiffened. Turning around, sure enough, he saw the girl’s figure again.

She appeared as if she had just woken up, with mist still lingering on her eyelashes.

The clothes she wore weren’t from any luxury brand or custom-made but rather ordinary homewear.

She seemed to lack any grooming whatsoever.

The CEO of DK Corporation slightly frowned, but said nothing, still lounging casually in his chair.

Naturally, a Daughter of Wealth and Nobility raised by a wealthy family in Shanghai City wouldn’t be so rash. No wonder, she was just a foster daughter.

Though, she did have a pretty skin.

He owed the smooth acquisition of Jade Pavilion this time to Miss Ying.

Before Eugene could speak, the foreign man stood up and stepped forward on his own.

He smiled slightly, with an air of nobility, “This must be Miss Ying, right? I haven’t yet taken the opportunity to thank Miss Ying for securing Jade Pavilion for DK Corporation.”

This was clearly a way to drive a wedge.

Many shareholders from Old Master Zhong’s side also changed their expressions.

The granddaughter had personally handed over the industry that her grandfather had painstakingly built for many years.

What did this mean?

Until now, Elder Zhong had remained silent, but upon hearing this remark, he spoke coolly, “The old man knows his granddaughter is good-looking, has a good character, good everything.”

“But you don’t need to use such a clichéd and disgusting pickup line. My granddaughter isn’t even eighteen yet, and you’re almost thirty, too old, not suitable.”

The CEO of DK Corporation lost his smile.

The shareholders: “…”

Although they wanted to retort.

There is a kind of beauty that one desires to monopolize at first sight.

But Elder Zhong said such words at this time, wasn’t he afraid of angering DK Corporation, causing Zhong Corporation to bleed heavily once more?

“Uncle Zhong, take it easy,” the middle-aged shareholder said in a hushed voice, unable to stand it, “I know you have a fiery temper, but please bear with it.”

Elder Zhong scoffed, “If the old man endures, is he still himself?”

The middle-aged shareholder: “…”

It was an intrusion. He shut his mouth.

“Director Zhong is still vigorous in his old age. It’s my fault for misspeaking. I genuinely just wanted to thank Miss Ying,” said the CEO of DK Corporation, then suddenly as if enlightened, “Oh, right.”

He looked toward the girl and smiled again, “I heard Miss Ying comes from an impoverished county and can’t understand English. I’m sorry, other than my native language, I only know English.”

As he said this, there was no hint of apology in his tone.

Only a look of contempt on his face.

He had thought the person who could sign a bet agreement was someone impressive; never did he expect it to be merely this, which truly disappointed him.

At that moment, Elder Zhong couldn’t hold back anymore.

Just as he was about to erupt in anger, a hand rested on his shoulder.

Ying Zijin turned her head to the side and slightly lifted her eyes, speaking very casually, “Nulli expugnabilis hosti.”

“…”

The entire conference room went silent because of these words.

The CEO of DK Corporation was genuinely stunned, “What?”

“Didn’t understand?” Ying Zijin nodded her head in confirmation, her tone still indifferent and even, this time in English, “Too bad, I thought you, being from O continent, would understand a bit more.”

The implication—

If you don’t understand, we can only communicate in the simplest English.

The foreign man’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

With everyone watching him, for a moment,

he couldn’t even say that he didn’t understand, let alone know which language the girl was speaking.

It wasn’t English, nor German, nor French.

Yet it vaguely resembled them all.

Elder Zhong coughed and couldn’t contain his inner joy.

But he maintained a serious expression on his face, asking in a low voice, “What does that sentence mean?”

“Uncle Zhong, you overestimate me,” the middle-aged shareholder was also baffled, “I only know English too; maybe it’s a language from a minor country in O continent?”

O continent has many countries, most of which use English.

But even within English, there are many regional dialects, similar to the dialects in Hua Country.

“Ah,” Elder Zhong sighed deeply, “You see, my granddaughter is indeed formidable.”

The middle-aged shareholder: “…”

Enough already.

No one understood it, so who knows if it wasn’t just made up on the spot?

“Director Zhong indeed has a remarkable granddaughter,” the CEO of DK Corporation slowly regained his composure, scoffing, “No need for more words. Now, please bring the deed and transaction certificate for Jade Pavilion, Director Zhong.”

Having failed to humiliate successfully and instead being humiliated himself made it hard on everyone.

The middle-aged shareholder’s complexion changed again, “Uncle Zhong, we—”

Before he could finish his sentence, two people came in carrying a large box, placing it in the center of the conference room.

Seeing this box, Eugene suddenly had a bad premonition.
