"I…" A tear slid from the corner of Su Wanqing's eye. She bit her lower lip tightly, a sense of injustice welling up inside her. 'I was the one who met Brother Jingyuan first.'
But then she thought about what her parents had told her.
A determined look entered her eyes.
Her parents had said that the Huo family was a hot commodity in the country. They were the most important connection if her family wanted to return to China in the future. Even if it meant being accused of wrecking a military marriage, she had to try and pry him away.
Many foreign businessmen had their eyes on the Southern cities, which were rebuilding from scratch. Now was the absolute easiest time to get in and make money, and besides, they could have a hand in both domestic and foreign markets.
She reached up to wipe the tears from her eyes. "I understand, Grandma Liu. I'll keep my distance from Brother Jingyuan from now on. But… could you do me a favor?"
"What favor?"
