Chapter 20 - Let go now

For someone who was already in despair and couldn't see any hope, Emma's appearance was undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness, a life-saving straw for the drowning man to grasp.

Yuan Xiao looked at her dumbfounded, didn't ask anything, and only said, "As long as you save my daughter, I'll be your servant for life!"

Even if the condition was for him to die right now, he would agree without hesitation.

Emma smiled, "I don't need you to be my servant. I just want 70% of your company's shares. You can still be the boss, and I don't care how it's run. I'll provide the money, and you just need to grow the company."

Was this a stroke of luck?

His bankrupt company was not worth buying, and everyone thought it was a losing deal.

But this young girl in front of him gave him such preferential treatment and such valuable trust right from the start!

Yuan Xiao couldn't believe it. He thought he was dreaming, and he thought the girl was joking with him.

Emma saw his thoughts and took him straight to the bank. When she checked the balance, it was indeed over 60 million, not a penny less.

What reason did he have to refuse?

Yuan Xiao wiped away his tears and nodded heavily, "Okay!"

"Take it. First, cure your daughter's illness before you go back to your business. Spend the money as you like, and everything is on me."

After Emma finished speaking, she directly handed the card to Yuan Xiao, left a phone number, and turned around to leave, saying, "I have something else to do. Goodbye."

From beginning to end, she came and left like a goddess in less than five minutes. Except for a phone number, he didn't even know her name.

Yuan Xiao cried again.

This middle-aged man, who was tall and strong, was crying like a child at the moment...

He had begged everywhere and couldn't get a penny. When this girl appeared, she didn't mock him or take advantage of him. Instead, she left him a huge sum of money and a hope for a new life.

After a long time, the despair in Yuan Xiao's eyes was replaced by a firm and resolute light, as if he had been reborn.

At this moment, Emma didn't know that her casual action today had completely won Yuan Xiao's heart.

In the future, this company, which was almost impossible to rise again in everyone's eyes, would rise again with a strong and vigorous vitality, reverse the situation, and finally take root deeply and could never be shaken!

It would become a huge conglomerate, attracting countless people's envy and jealousy, and become the inexhaustible and inexhaustible business ace in her hand.

Of course, these were all things that would happen later.

Emma's mood was very good now.

In the previous life, Yuan Xiao was supposed to be bought by William, but in this life, he was won over by her. This was called taking the enemy's road and making the enemy have nowhere to go.

The conditions she offered Yuan Xiao were also millions of times stronger than what William had offered him. Even if William wanted to buy him later, it would be impossible.

Emma hummed a tune as she slowly made her way to the meeting spot she had arranged with Elijah. She had estimated that the big shot hadn't arrived yet, but from a distance, she could already see a tall figure standing out like a towering pine tree.

Clearly, he had been waiting for her for quite some time. Emma was taken aback and quickly ran over.

"Brother Elijah, have you been waiting long? I'm sorry, I got delayed on the way here."

Elijah checked the time.

Good.

She was only five minutes late.

From the upper class of the city to the big shots in the business world, many people would invite him to dinner, but no one dared to be even a second late.

Elijah glanced at Emma, but saw the little girl looking at him innocently, even with a hint of caution in her eyes.

The frustration disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go."

The big shot spoke, and Emma felt relieved.

She had been careless and forgotten the time, but luckily she didn't anger the big shot enough to make him turn around and leave.

The two walked side by side into the restaurant.

This restaurant was called Ten Li Fragrance, and it was famous throughout the city. The chefs inside were said to be descendants of imperial chefs, with top-notch culinary skills. Anyone who had tasted their food would never forget it and would savor it endlessly.

But they had an unbreakable rule: they only served ninety-nine customers a day.

Even if someone important came after that number had been reached, they would not be served.

There were people who wanted to cause trouble for them, but the mysterious owner behind Ten Li Fragrance was powerful enough to withstand any wind blowing from any direction.

Emma looked around and saw that there were no customers in the restaurant, only two neatly dressed waiters on either side.

Without asking any questions, she followed Elijah inside.

However, this scene happened to be seen by Isabella who was passing by.

Isabella was stunned and instinctively grabbed William's arm, pointing to the restaurant and saying, "Brother William, I just saw my sister and a man enter that restaurant. They looked very intimate..."

Upon hearing that it was Emma, William instinctively frowned.

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"Maybe, after all, Sister Emma is Brother William's fiancée. How could she be hugging and being intimate with another man? I must have seen it wrong..."

Isabella said, looking embarrassed.

Fortunately, Emma didn't hear this, otherwise she would have sneered and commented, "What a cup of fragrant green tea!"

William's frown deepened, and he strode towards the restaurant.

Isabella smirked, "Brother William, don't be angry, wait for me!"

Almost as soon as Emma stepped into the restaurant, William stormed in and grabbed her wrist in anger.

"I never thought that you, a woman who changes partners frequently, would be dating other men behind my back," William said.

Emma turned around, feeling amused. "William, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about our relationship? Who are you to yell at me like this?"

William, who had spent the whole day with Isabella on a date without any self-reflection, was now standing on a high horse, criticizing her?

Thinking that Emma was jealous, William's anger subsided a bit, and he said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Come with me."

Emma couldn't help but laugh at this. She then stopped smiling and started scolding him, "Ha! I really want to ask you, while you're making keys and telling fortunes under the bridge, what kind of person do you think you are? Can you tell fortunes? What are you capable of? Can you make keys? Can you? You're nothing!"

Before William could even understand what she meant, the man standing next to Emma turned around.

From his back, William felt that he looked familiar. But when he saw his face, he was stunned.

"Uncle... Uncle Elijah?" he stammered.

Elijah had just finished a phone call and didn't have time to deal with him. But he didn't expect that within a minute, this guy would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

"Are you here to cause trouble for me?" Elijah glanced at William with a cold and penetrating gaze, revealing a sharp insight into human nature.

William trembled at once. He didn't dare.

Although Elijah was older than him, he had always been the person William was most afraid of since childhood.

Despite his calm and seemingly easy-going appearance, Elijah was actually cold-hearted and ruthless, the kind of person who wouldn't hesitate to eat someone up and leave no bones behind.

Seeing William instantly intimidated, Elijah's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Emma's slightly blushing wrist.

"Will you let go now?"
