Chapter 501 - His Approach
The people around her wanted to know the future prospects of IHZHI.
IHZHI was very flexible.
It had influences not only in real estate and IT, but also in the entertainment industry.
They were highly engaged in venture capital and angel investments.
Thus, seeing their successful record, many multinational companies were looking for IHZHI.
Xiong Zhi naturally welcomed the interested parties and combed through the various deals.
She was quite happy with her harvest.
Of course, these needed further study in terms of many aspects.
IHZHI need to clearly investigate the feasibility and profitability of the business models.
However, the fire only burned intensely in the beginning, and the latter groups that came to her was not to her liking.
She had to excuse herself while subtly rejecting others.
Xiong Zhi gracefully went to the refreshments area for a non-alcoholic drink.
She looked around.
She had told Linfeng to enjoy himself and not to worry about her, but her eyes could not help but look for him.
Did he secure the deal with Mr. Finch?
Mr. Finch was a huge business mogul with deep roots. Having him by their side was equal to gaining a strong support.
Xiong Zhi moistened her throat and observed her surroundings when a shadow loomed from behind her.
"Young Miss Xiong Zhi, it\'s a pleasure to see you here," a familiar gentle voice sounded.
Xiong Zhi\'s hand trembled.
She was silent for a moment, then her eyes narrowed.
She turned to face the man.
"Young Master Guan Gao Huan."
Her voice was devoid of emotion.
Her good mood instantly fell to the bottom.
Guan Gao Huan\'s shoulder-length brown hair was tied.
His brown eyes with a tinge of gold was striking. His grey suit suited him well that many ladies around blushed at the sight of him.
"Would you like more?"
Guan Gao Huan acted familiar with her.
He was about to reach for another glass but Xiong Zhi refused.
"No need. One glass is enough," she said emotionlessly.
She turned her back on him and was about to distance herself.
She did not want to see this man at all. She clenched her fist and resisted the urge to scratch the man\'s pretentious face.
"Young Miss Xiong Zhi, wait," Guan Gao Huan walked after her and reached for her arm.
Xiong Zhi was repulsed by his touch that she immediately flung her arm away.
Disgusting!
Don\'t touch me.
Her cold eyes turned sharp.
"Young Master Guan Gao Huan, you should act with propriety. A gentleman can\'t just touch a woman casually."
Guan Gao Huan helplessly raised his hand in surrender.
"I apologize. I just want to chat with you."
Guan Gao Huan knew that Linfeng was busy talking with someone, so he grabbed this opportunity to approach Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi\'s eyes were guarded and piercing.
Although she had gotten better with her trauma, she still felt stifled and uncomfortable around this disgusting person.
The cold touch on her arm felt repulsive.
She wanted nothing but to run to the comfort room and wash away the sickening sensation on her arm. She pressed down the nausea rising from her stomach.
"There\'s no need to talk with me. A lot of ladies are lining up to chat with you." Xiong Zhi\'s expressionless eyes went to the women who was trailing behind Guan Gao Huan. "And a lot of gentlemen wants to chat with me too, so excuse me."
Xiong Zhi just wanted to get away from this beast.
Guan Gao Huan\'s eyes flashed.
He still could not understand why this Xiong Heiress appeared so guarded with him.
The more this woman avoided him, the more he wanted to approach her and make her look at him.
"Young Miss Zhi, is the idea of talking to me really that repulsive? I don\'t understand why you are so insistent in avoiding me. I heard from my grandfather that you are supposed to be my fiancée. Is that the reason why you can\'t even be bothered to act politely with me?"
Guan Gao Huan returned to the country to meet his fiancée in the first place.
Yet suddenly, Old Guan told him that there was no longer a need to hurry in meeting his fiancée. Then, the matter was dropped and was never talked about again.
Guan Gao Huan hinted to his grandfather many times about this fiancée.
He already knew that his supposed fiancée was the young miss of the Xiong family.
Guan Gao Huan was initially confident that no matter what Xiong Zhi did, even if her fancy was on that lowly butler, she would still end up marrying him.
However, nowadays, he was no longer sure of it.
Recently, Xiong Zhi was given more power in the Xiong family.
She was even titled as the heiress and the inside news also indicated that Old Xiong had truly chosen Xiong Zhi as his successor for the Xiong Empire.
The relationship between the grandfather and granddaughter had gotten a lot better. Marrying Xiong Zhi off to strengthen the family\'s power was looking more obscure.
This was why Guan Gao Huan asked his grandfather again about his engagement. However, the old man said that he still had two brothers ahead of him who had to marry before his turn come up, so his engagement was not in a hurry.
Again, Guan Gao Huan\'s engagement was delayed.
He knew something was up.
Did the old man really change his mind about his engagement with the Young Miss Xiong?
Was his engagement with Xiong Zhi cancelled before it even became official?
Guan Gao Huan refused to allow that to happen, especially now that his Father was getting annoyed.
Xiong Zhi paused, turned her head, and narrowed her eyes at Guan Gao Huan.
The man today was being pushy.
Was he becoming impatient?
Xiong Zhi had lived with this man for three years, so she knew his attitude to some extent.
Guan Gao Huan acted like this when the situation was not in his favor.
Xiong Zhi knew from the very beginning that the reason why this man approached her was because he wanted to win her favor.
As if.
Xiong Zhi felt her nerves calm down after realizing her upper hand.
She turned to face Guan Gao Huan.
"I don\'t have any idea of what you\'re talking about. I was never promised to anyone. From where did you get that misunderstanding?"
Xiong Zhi\'s eyes then became firm.
"As to why I find you so repulsive, there\'s no reason for me to state why. There are just people in this world that you can\'t get along with at first sight."
After speaking these words, she turned and left decisively, no longer giving the man a chance to talk back.
She did not want to stay for a second longer in this stifling and nauseating atmosphere.
Guan Gao Huan watched Xiong Zhi\'s back.
His golden eyes narrowed dangerously.
He was trying to be patient with this supposed fiancée, but even that patience had a limit. Father had already given him a new mission, but failing this mission of winning a lady\'s heart really hurt Guan Gao Huan\'s pride.
