With a sullen face, Nina threw the vegetables one by one into the bowl.
" Nana, you silly girl. It is our great fortune to hook up with Mr. Howard. Don't embarrass him, or he will
dislike you." Said Aunt Sophia in a low voice.
"Huh! Who likes him?" Said Nina scornfully.
"Don't you want to remarry for your child?" she asked, pointing at her belly
"Just him?" Nina looked back at Howard and said, "Mom, don't think too much. After all, he is the
president of the Hua group. Even if he wants to be my son's father, I still worry about him!"
"You silly girl, how could he throw your child into the well?" Said Aunt Sophia angrily.
"That's impossible..."
But, it seemed that he cared my child a lot. What was his motive!
"That's where we can't find the beggar. Now there's a man, a good man, who voluntarily will be the
father of your child. And you look as if he owes you money. Don't you think you're stupid?"
"All right, mom. It's so annoying!" Nina's head was sore because of her mother's nagging. She threw
the last cabbage into the bowl, and her waist was a little sore. She stood up and beat her waist with
both hands.
She looked at the living room inadvertently. Then, the beggar who was playing chess with her father
was sitting in the living room.
Nina was shocked by this scene, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Beggar..." Muttered Nina.
"You'd better stop thinking about that bastard. I know that the beggar is not a good man. If he is a good
man, who would like to be a beggar?" Complained Sophia.
Nina lowered her head and sighed. When she raised her head, she saw that her father's forehead was
sweating. Her father was shaking with the chess pieces.
What happened to father?
Nina walked out in confusion. She had learnt Chinese chess since childhood.
She lowered her head and looked at the chessboard. The chessboard was good for her father! It was
high likely that Howard would lose.
Nina glanced at Howard, only to find that he was frowning, playing with a chess piece, and staring at
the chessboard attentively.
He didn't sweat at all. The air-conditioning in the living room was hissing. His father shouldn't have
sweated so much!
Well, when Nina saw her father's hesitation to go chess, she suddenly understood that her father was
afraid to win because of the authority of Howard!
So she picked up a key chess piece of her father and put it down, "father, when did you become so
stupid? That's what you did to make the army formed by Howard."
"Well, Nina..." Gavin wanted to stop her, but Nina had already put down the piece.
Nina clapped her hands and looked at Howard arrogantly, "you won't regret it. You lose."
"I admit defeat for bet. You can tell me what you want." Howard pushed aside the chessboard and
looked up at Nina.
"What do you mean?" Nina was confused at his words.
Howard shrugged, "I lost. Don't you want something as a reward?"
"No big deal! I don't want anything!"
In her mind, aunt Sophia who was in the kitchen shouted, "Nina, this silly girl. He can give everything to
her, but she didn't want anything.". Who is Mr. Howard? He was a rich and influential man. With a little
bit of money, his family would spend a lifetime of it.
"Mr. Howard, you said that the factory of Nana's father has no investment. If there is someone to invest
in it, I estimate that I can make it bigger!" Sophia ran out and said.
"Mr. Howard, don't listen to Mrs. Sophia's words. I have no idea of it." Mr. Gavin had always been very
nervous. When he heard that Mrs. Sophia asked for investment for Howard, he got even more nervous.
Mrs. Sophia! Mrs. Sophia! Even if money is good, why does she have to live a better life!
We are just two small shrimps. It's better to be far away from the big shark, in case of being swallowed
by it.
"Exactly. Mr. Howard, don't listen to my mother. She is a housewife. My father is old and it's time for
him to retire from the company after several years. If the company is in a large scale, who can help him
manage it? I don't have any other siblings. Do you want me to take over the management of it? " Nina
thought the same as her father. She didn't want to get her parents involved, as she was abducted by
Howard.
"There is no problem with management. I can find someone to be his assistant. I've decided to invest
200 million dollars in him..." Said Mr. Howard dryly.
"Ahem!" "Two hundred millions?" Nina stammered? Please don't make a joke, Mr. Howard. My father's
health is not good enough to take such a shock. "
Two hundred million? Are you kidding me? Even if you are rich, you still can't give dad two hundred
million as you want!
On top of that, the two hundred million dollars was enough for her parents to spend their old age, to
buy a big villa and a big garden, and to hire a few servants. Such life was so beautiful. Why did they
have to work so hard on business!
"I'm not kidding!" There was no trace of joking in his voice.
"this is not kidding. I can't take the two hundred millions. Mr. Howard, since it is our first meeting, I don't
think I can accept your generous offer." Gavin waved his hand and refused.
Even men wanted to develop their own career, and Gavin was no exception. But as a small business
owner, he valued two hundred million more than anyone else!
All Sophia thought about was money. She grinned from ear to ear and said, "Mr. Gavin, Mr. Howard just
invested in your company. After you make enough money, we'll pay him a small bonus. Maybe you will
give him 300 million."
Hearing her mother's ignorant words, Nina immediately sat down on the ground from the chair.
Howard's face changed. He held Nina in his arms and asked, "honey, are you okay?"
He kept in mind that Nina was pregnant and she needed to be careful.
Nina took a breath and waved her hand, "it doesn't matter."
She looked at her mother and rolled her eyes.
My ignorant mother! Do you know how much they cost? It was a large amount to make back three
hundred millions!
The basic profit of the current small factory which belonged to her father was only about one hundred
thousand and three hundred millions a year? Mom, how could you say that!
All she could think of was how Nina's father had wiped his sweat, sweat and paper with tissue all the
time
It seemed that the endless circle could reduce the pressure in his heart.
"Auntie, you are right. The Hua financial tycoon never makes a business at a loss. Since I have said
that I will invest in it, I will definitely help you develop the company and make it prosper as soon as
possible." Touching Nina's lower abdomen gently, Howard felt warm in his heart.
But the baby was too small to move his hands.
Hearing that, Howard raised the corners of his mouth into a smile.
In this way, Sophia became more confident and said without scruple, "Mr. Gavin, no matter what you
do, you are always afraid of both the wolf and the tiger, so the weapon factory has been operating for
so many years, which is also a small processing factory. It is said that the general's soldiers are not
good soldiers, but you are the enemies. That kind of soldiers will be killed if the enemy comes!" She
tried to persuade Gavin to accept the investment of Mr. Howard.
"Don't talk nonsense here. I know what I'm capable of? I'm just a soldier. What can I do if you insist me
to be a general? Soldiers need to be well organized in a battle. It turns out that women are short-
sighted and short-sighted! " Speaking of this, Gavin sighed and said, "if the beggar are here, I can
consider accepting Mr. Howard's investment. That kid is very shrewd. I think that he is a good beggar.
But unfortunately, he always ignores his business. I don't know where he is now. No matter where he
goes, I don't believe he can survive!"
"Bah, bah, who are you talking about..." Sophia angrily criticized Gavin.
Realizing what she meant, Gavin broke out in a sweat and stammered, "but Mr. Howard, a beggar I
don't know where he is now. He and Nina... "
"Dad, mom, it's okay. Anyway, I don't agree to your investment with Mr. Howard." Nina pushed Howard
away and sat beside him angrily.
"Oh, Miss Nina, are you saying something wrong? Don't you want to give your parents a better life?
They are about sixty years old now, and they can't do the housework themselves. What do you think?"
"Mr. Howard, it's none of your business. I'm their daughter. Of course I'll take care of them during their
old age."
"How do you take care of her? Begging? "
"Mr. Howard is right. Nana, don't give up easily. I agree with Mr. Howard's investment." After Sophia
finished speaking, she raised her hand.
"Where's uncle?" Burke threw a sharp glance at Gavin. He looked so serious and overbearing that
Gavin was shocked. He wanted to refuse but finally said, "I agree too."
Gavin raised his hand and said in a trembling voice.
Nina gnashed her teeth and said, "you are too powerful. You want to sell your daughter?"
"We are not..." Gavin's face was as red as that of Austin.
"Honey, the Hua group is only investing in uncle's factory. And the Hua Group has been doing
investment business all the time. Is it buying someone's woman? Why do I need so many women? " He
took out his phone and told the lawyer to deal with the investment business at once.
Nina was speechless.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Mr. Howard, 200 million is not a small amount. You have to think it
over carefully. My father is a factory, so if you lose 200 million, I won't have the money to pay you
back."
Howard smiled slightly, "then you'll pay for it!"
"Damn it!" Nina blurted out, "I finally know how valuable this second-hand is!"
"A lady!" With a smile on her face, Mrs. Sophia said to sherry, "Mr. Howard, my baby Nana is still a
lady. Sometimes, she said some rude words even if she didn't say anything inappropriate. It's all
because of Miss Max. She's not like this before! "
"Mother, let's go to have dinner!" Nina shouted at her nagging mother.
Gavin had been nervous since Howard visit, but only her mother felt happy and excited.
The bright life ahead of us is ahead of us.
"Dinner is ready!" Sophia happily ran into the kitchen.
"Mr. Howard, as a woman, my mother knows little about business. It's not too late for you to withdraw
your investment now, and you haven't asked for the consent of the board of directors. They will sue you
for embezzlement of public funds. If you're sent to the police station, nobody will give you food at that
time!" When her mother was not here, Nina tried her best to persuade Howard.
"Two hundred million dollars is too little. I don't need it from the board of directors. Understand?"
All right. If two hundred million dollars wasn't enough, what else could she say?
