Zhou Lie was speechless again by this girl, and said, "You're still young..."
"Young, my ass..."
Zhou Lie was cut off before he could finish by the little girl, who proudly puffed out her chest and pointed at Karin. "Who's young?"
Zhou Lie instinctively looked at Karin, then at the little girl, and nodded, "Indeed, not young!"
"Then show ."
The little girl shalessly continued to demand.
Karin's body trembled even more, earlier she feared Zhou Lie would expose the video, now she was infuriated by the little girl.
What does this girl an?
"Alright, I'll show you."
Zhou Lie compromised. Amidst the little girl's excitent, he said, "But not here, after we get ho."
The little girl glanced at Old Rose, then at Karin, nodded "Okay!"
Old Rose inwardly cursed Zhou Lie, go ho to watch?
Damn, you want to watch while...?
In an instant, Old Rose looked at the little girl with pity, "Girl, the brother in your eyes ans harm, co to my arms."
At this mont, Zhou Lie finally concentrated on Karin and Old Rose, amidst their anger, he said, "I've already sent the video to a friend. As soon as sothing happens to , this video will be given to Count Mock. Then, you know what that ans."
Karin and Old Rose took a deep breath, understanding that Zhou Lie wasn't positioning this as a life-and-death situation.
Finally, Karin felt as if many n had ravished her, and said weakly.
"Tell , what do you want?"
Zhou Lie gave Karin an approving look. This woman was indeed heaven's favored daughter; not stunning, but a rare beauty. Envying her intelligence even more.
Very wise.
However, this woman seed not to have pursued official avenues; otherwise, what a pity, Zhou Lie sighed.
"I know everything about Mock."
Zhou Lie said, staring seriously at Karin, "I admit, your thods are clever, but I hope you clarify these matters for Mock's company today. Can you do that?"
Karin nodded, without hesitation, "I can do it!"
She was smart enough to know she had no room for argunt left. If that video gets exposed, she'll be finished.
Her family certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, they would drive her out of the family. For a Count's daughter, it's embarrassing.
Once the video is out, her reputation will plumt, and those who liked her will attack her.
She wouldn't be able to continue working at the TV station.
She'd beco a public mouse, everybody would want to beat her.
Compared to clarifying for Mock, this seed trivial. Naturally, she was willing, but was a bit curious. "Is that all?"
To her, Zhou Lie could seize this opportunity to thoroughly squeeze sothing out of her or Old Rose, after all, Zhou Lie had their leverage. As long as he didn't go overboard, both Karin and Old Rose would agree.
In fact, Karin was prepared to give Zhou Lie whatever he wanted at any ti.
She just didn't know, Zhou Lie wasn't interested in her like a withered flower, moreover, Zhou Lie's won were of much higher quality, virtue, everything than Karin.
To others, Karin might seem perfect, but to Zhou Lie, she was barely passable.
Zhou Lie naturally wouldn't be interested in her.
"Of course, not just that."
Zhou Lie was a bit surprised, not expecting the woman to suggest herself that his demands were too low, Zhou Lie turned his gaze to Old Rose, "I want you to submit to !"
Yes, this was Zhou Lie's intention.
Although he didn't think much of Old Rose's power, having Old Rose's support would make doing things much easier during his ti in the United Kingdom.
Otherwise, if he did everything personally, how tiring would that be?
In all of London, Old Rose's voice was significant, he could certainly help a lot.
Old Rose's eyes widened, clearly not expecting Zhou Lie to make such a demand.
"? Submit to you?"
Old Rose found it unbelievable; if it were normal tis, he'd ask Zhou Lie if he had a fever, gone mad.
Except, at this mont, he held the reins with Zhou Lie, unconsciously feeling a bit intimidated.
"That's right, submit to ."
Zhou Lie appeared to be giving alms, saying, "If I didn't have things to do in London that needed help, you think you are capable of handling my affairs?"
Old Rose was exasperated, how could soone be so conceited? In the United Kingdom, he counted as a dignitary, but this person treated him like a nobody, quite a blow.
Old Rose didn't hastily agree with Zhou Lie, instead looking at Karin, as if seeking her opinion.
Karin hesitated, sighed, "Agree with him."
Imdiately, next mont asks, "How long do you plan to stay in the United Kingdom?"
Zhou Lie paused, also smiled, "You're very smart, yes, agreeing with is just temporary. Once I return to Huaxia, you can go back to being yourselves. As for how long I'll stay, I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be long."
Zhou Lie said, "However, while I'm here, you'd better behave yourselves, otherwise..."
Zhou Lie's tone carried an implicit threat that startled Karin and Old Rose, the threat was evident.
"This person exudes killing intent, must have killed before."
Old Rose wiped the sweat from his forehead, no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Lie, and rembered Count Mock's respect for Zhou Lie, starting to understand a bit.
"Understood, we'll do our best."
Karin, being a smart woman, imdiately said cheerfully.
"I'll also do my best." Old Rose also expressed goodwill.
"Okay, let's leave it at that, you guys carry on."
Zhou Lie tugged the little girl beside him, "Let's go."
"Just leave?"
The little girl was baffled; she didn't understand the conversation between Zhou Lie and Old Rose earlier, now being told to go, she was confused, "Weren't you here to hit people? You haven't hit anyone yet!"
Zhou Lie gave a wry smile, this girl was simply not afraid of causing trouble.
Old Rose and Karin were stunned at his words, even more surprised when they glanced at Zhou Lie, realizing he was initially planning to act against them.
Old Rose recalled the killing intent that had emanated from Zhou Lie's eyes earlier, and his whole body felt a chill down his spine.
Just as Zhou Lie descended the stairs, he noticed a group of people approaching. He knew they must be the reinforcents Old Rose had called.
But he didn't pay it any mind.
He knew Old Rose would make the right choice.
Sure enough, Old Rose told them to leave.
After Zhou Lie left, Karin and Old Rose fell into silence inside the house.
After a long silence, Karin, after struggling for so ti, finally said, "Old Rose, let's just leave it at that."
Old Rose was taken aback and sighed for a long while before nodding, "Alright."
"Thank you."
Seeing Old Rose didn't continue to entangle with her, Karin felt so affection and also so helplessness, "If you were twenty years younger, we might have a chance, but..."
She didn't finish her sentence before Old Rose cut her off, "Karin, don't say it. I know your thoughts, but I also know we're not suitable. Over these days, I really have grown fond of you."
"You're different from the won I've played with before. Those won were all after my money, but you are special."
"So, I hope you find your happiness. You have done nothing wrong to ."
After hesitating for a bit, Old Rose mustered up his courage, "Karin, I want to have one last crazy experience with you, okay?"
There was already a trace of pleading in Old Rose's tone.
Karin was stunned, then began to undress herself, "Alright!"
Soon, in the house, they rolled once more like clouds and rain, but this ti, Old Rose seed to be frantic, as if he wanted to devour her into his body.
Zhou Lie's appearance finally made Karin realize that she and Old Rose could never be together; age was an issue, and so was identity.
Ultimately, Karin chose to let go.
To find her happiness.
And Zhou Lie never expected his unintentional action would create a world-renowned top host.
Zhou Lie returned to the Mock Count's house, and the little girl clamored to watch that adult movie. Naturally, Zhou Lie refused, never allowing her to watch it.
The little girl was frustrated but helpless.
Soon after Zhou Lie returned ho, he turned on the UK television station. Karin cleared up matters regarding the Mock Company on dia, introduced Mock Company's operations, and promoted its business philosophy. After such publicity, the previous crisis completely disappeared, making Mock overjoyed.
That very night, he found Zhou Lie for a drink.
Zhou Lie never expected Karin would be so effective, turning her clarification into an advertisent for the Mock Clan.
This woman.
Zhou Lie found it hard to see through her.
Thus, a few more days passed.
Zhou Yanyu's foot was finally able to touch the ground, overjoying her to the extent that she imdiately wanted Zhou Lie to take her out to play.
Zhou Lie naturally had no objections.
The tag-along little girl also wanted to go but was finally convinced by Zhou Lie to leave while pouting.
The cost was that Zhou Lie had to promise to watch an H movie with her.
Zhou Lie was exasperated by this little girl. Why was she so eager to watch an H movie?
The night view of London was very beautiful, captivating Zhou Yanyu imnsely, her joy blooming like a flower. However, after the joy, there was so lingering pensiveness.
"Thinking of little sister again?"
Zhou Lie seed to have seen through her mind and handed her a cup of milk tea, comforting her, "Previously, your leg wasn't healed, delaying the search for little sister. Now you're well, tomorrow we'll go find her."
Zhou Lie promised, "We will definitely find little sister soon."
"Really?"
Taking a sip of the milk tea, Zhou Yanyu eagerly looked at Zhou Lie beside her, "Little Lie, do you know where little sister is?"
Zhou Lie shook his head, "I know she's in London, and she's a baron's daughter, but I don't know exactly where in London. I still need to inquire."
Zhou Yanyu felt a bit lancholic, "How long will it take to find her?"
Seeing her thoughts, Zhou Lie couldn't bear it and, after so struggle, said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll find soone to help. We will have results soon."
"Mm, I knew my Little Lie is the best."
Zhou Yanyu's face blossod into a beautiful smile, like a flower in full bloom, so beautiful that it made Zhou Lie entranced.
"Silly, why are you staring at ? Eat your food."
Zhou Yanyu was a bit bashful. Over these days, she clearly understood that her feelings for Zhou Lie were definitely not familial or sibling love.
It was love.
"Sister, you're really beautiful."
Zhou Lie said sowhat dumbly.
"You..."
Zhou Yanyu was annoyed yet delighted; who wouldn't be happy to be called beautiful by the man they love?
"You're so cheeky."
Zhou Yanyu tapped Zhou Lie on the head and then leaned into his embrace, glancing at the Thas River before her, "So beautiful."
But Zhou Lie was looking at the woman in his arms, thinking, the Thas River is beautiful, but it can't compare to you.
Yet, he still didn't dare to confess his love, afraid.
And so, holding each other tightly, they stayed there until late, before returning to their place.
The little girl was the first to jump out, casting a peculiar eye at the intimate pair.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
"Are these two really siblings?"
