School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Liu Yiyi stood alone in the room.

Today, her father had come to visit her, and originally, Liu Yiyi was very happy, but when he made that unreasonable request, Liu Yiyi felt extremely angry. Moreover, she appeared extremely disappointed, extremely unhappy, and even utterly despairing.

Yes!

For a girl, there was nothing more despairing than this. She could never have imagined that her father, who had solemnly sworn his love for her, would actually want her to marry a licentious playboy, a man entirely devoid of character and morality, a heartbreaker.

Liu Yiyi knew her father very well, he loved her so much, so he would never ask anything excessive of her. But this time, he did. Whether intentionally or not, he had indeed made the request, which left Liu Yiyi deeply heartbroken and distressed.

Liu Guodong was a strong-willed person, and in this matter, he was accustomed to having his way. Since he had made this request, he would certainly try to get her agreement. It was because of this that Liu Yiyi was very worried.

"No!" Liu Yiyi shook her head resolutely and said, "If he dares force me to marry Qin Xiaotian, then I'll show him death."

Having already died once, she didn't care about dying another time, nor about the pain of death. How many times had she prepared herself for death? But Gosth Gate had played a huge joke on her, allowing her to come back from the brink. She had not died after all. This made Liu Yiyi very sad and very pained.

Now, fate played another joke on her. The Qin Family, which had originally annulled the marriage, was now reconsidering and even wanted to withdraw the annulment. Liu Yiyi found it laughable and shameful. She could never have imagined that the distinguished Qin Family would play such a joke on her, truly unbelievable and profoundly so.

The Qin Family was considered a major family in the provincial city, a family that always cared greatly about their image and influence. With their reversal, who knew how many people were criticizing them, mocking them, or thinking that the Qin Family was unreliable and untrustworthy?

Yet, the Qin Family completely disregarded these matters, persisting in their reversal and insisting on fulfilling the marriage contract.

But Liu Yiyi was not a vegetable easily sliced, neither horizontally nor vertically. She had her own personality and feared no one. She did not care whether the Qin Family was a major clan or not. She had initially agreed to marry Qin Xiaotian for specific reasons.

First, because she was suffering from a terminal illness and wasn't expected to live much longer, she thought she might as well help her father this one last time. Second, because the Liu Family was indeed in a dire situation. Without the Qin Family's assistance, the Liu Family would undoubtedly have fallen, and would have been removed from the provincial city, possibly forced to sell their villa and assets, and possibly even insolvent. Liu Yiyi couldn't bear to see her father burdened with debts for the rest of his life, so she decided to help him once before she died.

But now things were different. Her illness had been cured, and, most importantly, the Liu Family's company had overcome its difficulties and was thriving. She had no worries anymore. Therefore, Liu Yiyi would not agree to marry Qin Xiaotian.

"I absolutely will not marry Qin Xiaotian!" Liu Yiyi said firmly, her face contorting slightly as she stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the distant artificial lake and swaying willows. Outside, many people were walking.

......

Li Xiaoya had been very busy recently.

The business of Huihong Group had soared to great heights, booming incredibly, and Huihong Group had recovered from last year's slump. Li Xiaoya had not only paid off Xiao Han's twenty million debt, but the company's business had also gradually climbed.

Finally having some breathing room, as the company's fortunes had improved, Li Xiaoya decided to make time to deal with Liu Hao.

Last time, the company had almost been caught in a financial deadlock, all thanks to Liu Hao's sabotage. Li Xiaoya had specifically ordered a thorough investigation. Moreover, she had gathered quite a bit of evidence. Holding this evidence, Li Xiaoya had always wanted to sue Liu Hao, but after much consideration, she ultimately decided against it, as it wasn't something an ordinary person could handle. Some matters were indeed too complicated because they involved too many facets.

So, she had suppressed the matter.

Knock, knock, knock...

Suddenly, someone knocked on Li Xiaoya's office door.

"Come in," Li Xiaoya said.

Li Xiaoya's secretary, Xiao Mei, came in. She glanced at Li Xiaoya and said, "Director Li, Director Liu from Red Star Group is here to see you."

"Director Liu? Liu Hao?" Li Xiaoya asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Mei nodded and said, "You see..."

"Just say I'm not available!" Li Xiaoya instantly became annoyed upon hearing his name. She despised this man to the bone and hoped never to see him again in her lifetime.

"Yes!" Xiao Mei turned to leave.

"Wait!" Li Xiaoya called out urgently.

"Director Li, do you have any other instructions?" Xiao Mei looked at Li Xiaoya, puzzled.

"Of course!" Li Xiaoya nodded and said, "Let Liu Hao come in."

"Okay!" Xiao Mei immediately nodded.

Then, Xiao Mei walked out.

Not long after, Liu Hao entered very rudely, without even knocking on the door.

Seeing Liu Hao come in, Li Xiaoya seemed to have prepared herself mentally, she smiled coldly, and said, "Director Li, has no one ever taught you to knock before entering a door?"

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, Liu Hao laughed and said, "Xiaoya, what kind of relationship do we have? Do we still need to knock?"

"Do we have a relationship?" Liu Xiao refuted loudly, then said, "If I remember correctly, we don't even have the most basic cooperation, right?"

"Uh..." Liu Hao was stunned.

Last year, in order to ruin the Huihong Group, Liu Hao had cut off all business dealings with Huihong Group, and even encouraged his clients and contacts to sever their business ties with Huihong Group. He thought it would be easy, but he never expected that this woman was very capable and had managed to survive through the cracks. Moreover, she even expanded her business more and more, which made Liu Hao restless, and Liu Hao's clients and contacts had gradually resumed their business dealings with Huihong Group.

Liu Hao's lips curved into a smile and said, "Haha... Xiaoya, are you still holding a grudge?"

"Holding a grudge?" Li Xiaoya smiled and said, "Why should I hold a grudge? I'm not someone who holds grudges. You cut off the business dealings between our two companies, perhaps you had your own considerations and thoughts, but I have no interest in knowing these because it's a business secret, right?"

"No, no!" Liu Hao quickly shook his head and explained, "Xiaoya, listen to me, it was someone else who made me cut off business with you, not something I wanted to do. After all, I couldn't make that decision myself."

Li Xiaoya frowned, then said, "That has nothing to do with me!"

"It matters!" Liu Hao hurriedly said, "Of course, it matters a lot."

"Well, tell me, what are you here for today?" Li Xiaoya asked.

"I..." Liu Hao sat down in front of Li Xiaoya, then said, "I came to see you today for two things, the first is to invite you out to dinner."

"Just tell me the second one!" Li Xiaoya had absolutely no interest in this, because as far as Li Xiaoya was concerned, she really didn't want to have dinner with Liu Hao. She knew only too well what kind of person Liu Hao was. Right now, it looked like she had no interest in him at all.

"The second thing, I hope to resume business dealings with Huihong Group and sign a new contract," Liu Hao chuckled mischievously. The crass request was a bit shameful, but if it wasn't shameless, it wouldn't be Liu Hao.

"I'm sorry!" Li Xiaoya shook her head and said, "Our company currently has no plans to engage in business dealings with your company."

"Uh..." Liu Hao was taken aback and said, "Xiaoya, you don't want to make money?"

"What money should be earned, and what money should not be earned, I have a clear understanding!" Li Xiaoya smiled and said, "I dare not earn your company's money!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Hao asked immediately, frowning.

"What do I mean, don't you clearly know?" Li Xiaoya snorted coldly and stared straight at Liu Hao.

Seeing Li Xiaoya look him straight in the eye, Liu Hao suddenly didn't dare to act rashly. He quickly avoided her gaze, then with an embarrassed, very distressed expression, he thought for a long time, then said, "Xiaoya, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

"No!" Li Xiaoya shook her head.

"Why do I feel like you are looking at me as though a police officer looking at a thief?" Liu Hao said helplessly.

"That's because someone has a guilty conscience," Li Xiaoya laughed.

"Xiaoya, you need to be responsible for what you say," Liu Hao hurriedly said.

"Responsible for what?" Li Xiaoya asked in confusion, "Are you allowed to do it, but I'm not allowed to speak?"

"What did I do?" Liu Hao urgently asked.

"You did nothing," Li Xiaoya shook her head.

"Clarify that," Liu Hao immediately insisted. He believed his actions last year were flawless, and although Huihong Group had escaped the final jeopardy, he definitely believed it was something no one knew.

"Do you want to know?" Li Xiaoya asked.
