For a woman, seeing two men arguing for her should be a very happy thing, especially since both men are quite outstanding. But Maria really has nothing to be happy about right now. All Maria wants to do is get rid of this guy as soon as possible. She really doesn't know what her family is thinking, making her stay with such a person. It's really too much for her.
After Maria finished speaking, she immediately left with Liu Ning. Although Mr. White was dissatisfied and clenched his fists, he had to admit that in such a public place, inside the power plant, which was a restricted area, anyone who dared to make a move here would likely face severe punishment. If the power plant were damaged, it would be a serious matter that not everyone could afford to bear.
Maria originally intended to use Liu Ning as a shield to make him back down, but Liu Ning unexpectedly performed beyond expectations. Maria knew it wasn't Liu Ning's fault, because she had seen everything. At first, Liu Ning hadn't gone too far and had even been yielding at every step. But unfortunately, White was too clueless about social etiquette, pushing Liu Ning to this point. That's why Maria was somewhat heartbroken. If White had any redeeming qualities, she would never have taken this step.
"They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. I didn't believe it before, but I never expected you to dig such a big pit for me today. She flew over immediately after the competition, and she even used a new one. To be able to bribe your subordinates is definitely not a simple matter. You really don't give people any face in your actions."
Looking out the window from the high-rise office building, Liu Ning could see Mr. White glaring angrily at them. Although he didn't know which room was Maria's, he could tell Mr. White was extremely furious. Anyone would be unable to remain calm in such a situation.
"Am I too heartless? I think you don't understand what equivalent exchange means. The reason he's waiting here isn't because we have any deep feelings for each other, nor because he fell in love with me at first sight, but entirely because of two words: self-interest."
Maria brought over two cups of tea. She disagreed with Liu Ning's words. These scions of powerful families were cunning and scheming. If you weren't careful, you could easily be tricked by them. Maria had been taught this kind of thing since she was a child.
Do you think you can win her heart with a surprise bouquet of flowers? Don't dream about it. If girls were that easy to woo, there wouldn't be the term "strong woman." Maria is, in fact, a strong woman, so these methods are completely useless against her.
"So, there were some other deals between you two?"
Liu Ning said with some curiosity, as he was very clear about the feuds between these wealthy families. Since he had nothing else to do, he might as well listen to this story to broaden his horizons.
"This guy's line of succession is quite low, so he doesn't have much ability within the family. But my line of succession is even lower. Why did he come to me? It's because his family has a treasure that will help him get a good ranking in the selection competition. However, there are too many young members in the family, and he has several competitors. So, if he wants to get this treasure, he has to do something amazing, like successfully proposing to me. Then, if we form a team, he can use his position to his advantage, and the other heirs won't be able to compete with him. He will then be able to successfully obtain the treasure and also win my hand."
After Maria finished speaking, Liu Ning suddenly realized that there was no such thing as a free lunch these days. He had been tricked into coming here by Maria, unaware that the seemingly innocent guy below actually had all sorts of schemes in his heart.
Maria had lived in such an environment since childhood, so why did she trust Liu Ning in the first place? Maria didn't know why she did it. Perhaps it was because of Liu Ning's eyes. In those eyes, Maria saw immense trust, which is why Maria believed Liu Ning.
Maria initially didn't believe in the existence of trust, but after spending some time with Liu Ning, especially after he unhesitatingly entrusted her with those things without any promises at the time, Maria felt that Liu Ning was a sincere person. It was from that moment that Maria changed her opinion of Liu Ning, and her attitude towards him became different from that towards others.
"This doesn't seem quite right. As far as I know, although both their family and your family are among the twelve Western families, your family is clearly much more powerful than theirs. Even if we were to arrange a marriage, there would be absolutely no need to ask them for help, would there?"
Although Liu Ning was not from the upper class, he was very knowledgeable about some things. For example, he knew the main business areas of the two families. The Morgan family controlled the power supply, while the White family only controlled a part of the financial market. Although they were both among the twelve Western families, their strength was not on the same level at all. Even if the Morgan family wanted to find someone to marry into the White family, there was no need for them to do so.
"Your view is too simplistic. Although our family is richer than theirs, we also need a source of mutual benefit. If you are surrounded by enemies, you will find it very difficult to move forward. Therefore, this is where the responsibility of the family members lies. Marriage may not guarantee the interests between the two families, but it will certainly not widen the gap between them. This is what the members of a large family should do."
During the half-day he spent with Maria, Liu Ning really learned a lot from this girl. Although he thought he understood them before, after talking with her, Liu Ning realized that he couldn't see through these big families. If he had to say he understood them, he could only look around blindly. He couldn't understand some other things at all. Perhaps Maria's words were the real upper class.
