Elena shook her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Impossible, you can't do it, and I can't do it either. Uncle doesn't like me so much now. Even if I can decide my own marriage in the future, we can't be together. I can only be your sister forever."
"You mean..."
"I didn't say anything." Elena bit her lip, knowing how to measure the situation very well, and immediately distanced herself from the matter.
“I don’t want to make promises for things that I can’t deliver results on.”
"Then you..." Mudi was extremely desperate when he heard this, and he felt a little hatred towards her. If that was the case, why did she come to him again and again, and let him have hope and fall into the cold cellar again and again.
Elena looked at him with red eyes again, and the rare vulnerability she showed made the hatred that Mudi had just felt washed away to Java.
"You came to me to borrow money. What happened to you?"
"Forget it, this has nothing to do with you. You should just listen to your uncle and leave me alone."
Mudi held her shoulders and asked with a sullen look, "You wouldn't come to my house to find me unless you had no other choice. If you come to tell me, it means there's nothing else you can do. Is there anything else you can't say?"
Elena bit her lip: "...I don't want to cause you to get scolded."
Moody felt as if his heart was being gnawed by ants, and his eyes could no longer bear to see anything else. "As long as I want, he can't control me. Besides, I'm his only son, so he can't be really angry with me. Just tell me."
Elena hesitated for a long time and said, "I don't know why TT suddenly started to violently acquire HL and held a press conference to announce the acquisition plan."
"What?" Moody was very surprised.
Elena continued, "HL's stock price was hit hard some time ago, and TT announced a forced merger proposal at this time. On the way here, HL's stock price fell a lot. I'm afraid that if this continues, HL will not be able to hold on for long and will be acquired by TT." She looked at Moody and said, "You know HL is my hard work. I have devoted time and energy to the company, and even offended my aunt in disguise for it. Just because my aunt knew that I was the boss behind HL, she thought that I had grown up and developed my own career outside, so she determined that I wanted to break away from the family... You can see that she has given up on me now and wants to train my sister."
Moody could only comfort her dryly, leaning on her shoulders and saying, "It's not that serious."
"Really?" Elena looked at him with rare fragility in her eyes.
Moody swallowed back the words in his heart and couldn't say them out.
"Chief Irene is only temporarily dissatisfied with you. Anyone with eyes can see how outstanding you are! There is no way she would give up such an outstanding heir like you and go find someone else."
"But you saw it too. She just didn't seem to see me. She didn't talk to me the whole time. And you guys weren't..."
"I won't agree to that."
Mu Dijun's face darkened slightly and he said sternly: "I will not let them control my marriage, and I will not agree to marry a woman I don't love."
"I understand." Elena got the answer she wanted to hear and ended the topic with satisfaction.
She couldn't wait to bring the topic back: "The matter of hl funding..."
Moody also said: "I will find a way. But I need some time. I can't give you the money right away."
Elena knew that Moody couldn't make many decisions, but she still managed to smile and looked at him with eyes full of emotion: "Thank you, Moody."
