Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 523 - 504: Using Marriage as Bait

Luo Mei’s shrewd gaze swept over Huan Ning’s face. Seeing the hatred emanating from her momentary daze, she knew she had made a brilliant move.

She walked over, patted Huan Ning on the shoulder, and spoke with a tone filled with regret and pity: "To be honest, I actually like you quite a lot. You’re younger and more hardworking than Lin Banxia, and you’re prettier than her too. If you could be with my son, I might even consider letting him marry you into the family."

When Huan Ning heard this, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Auntie, do you really like me?" Huan Ning asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

At this moment, Luo Mei needed to use her, so of course, she would say sweet things to coax her along.

"Of course. In you, I see a shadow of my younger self. I understand all your pain—the one you love has been taken, and all you can do is helplessly cry." Luo Mei sighed deeply, then her expression shifted, turning ruthless: "But back then, I refused to accept it. There were plenty of shameless bitches trying to steal my husband, yet in the end, I still succeeded in marrying into the Huo Family. Do you know why?"

"Auntie, could you teach me? Tell me how I can marry Qinglin. I truly love him." Huan Ning was clever, and from Luo Mei’s words, she could tell that Luo Mei intended to help her, so she quickly sought her advice.

Luo Mei let out a cold snort: "To deal with shameless women, of course, you have to utterly destroy them—destroy them so they don’t even dare compete with you again. That way, all the wealth and glory will belong solely to you."

Huan Ning heard the implicit meaning behind her words, and her face turned slightly pale. She responded with self-mockery: "Auntie, I don’t have the status or means you did when you were young. Besides, Lin Banxia isn’t just an ordinary person now. She’s the young mistress of the Huo Family, and I can’t even get close enough to see her."

Luo Mei immediately put on a disappointed expression: "It seems we aren’t destined to work together, then. I’ll just have to find another woman for my son."

"Auntie, as long as you can make Qinglin return to me, I’ll make sure to ruin Lin Banxia." Huan Ning wasn’t about to let this golden opportunity slip away.

Seeing that Huan Ning was still eager, Luo Mei smiled immediately: "My son’s been in a bad mood lately; I’m thinking of sending him abroad to relax. You know, I hate Lin Banxia too. If you can help me vent this frustration, I’ll arrange for you to accompany my son the entire trip. Your relationship with him will naturally grow closer, won’t it?"

When Huan Ning heard she would soon be traveling abroad with Huo Qinglin, her heart leaped with excitement. "Auntie, do you really hate Lin Banxia too?"

"I absolutely despise her. She’s hurt my son. Unfortunately, as a member of the Huo Family, under the old lady’s watchful eyes, I can’t touch her. But if you help me, once we become mother- and daughter-in-law in the future, I’ll treat you as family." As Luo Mei saw the resolve slowly growing in Huan Ning’s eyes, she knew her plan was on its way to success.

"Alright, Auntie. As long as I completely ruin Lin Banxia, you’ll let me marry Qinglin, right?" With Luo Mei’s assurance, Huan Ning felt empowered to do whatever it took.

Luo Mei’s lips curled into a smug smile: "Alright, but you’ll have to be ruthless. I want to see results. Otherwise, I won’t be able to take the risk for you."

"Don’t worry. I despise her so much now—I’ll make her life a living hell," Huan Ning said through gritted teeth, trembling with hatred.
