chapter 24 She still has a chance

After uttering those words, Andrew Li paid no further attention to Olivia Fu's reaction. Initially, his decision to marry Olivia Fu was solely to repay the debt he owed to her grandfather. This led to close ties between their families, and when their elders proposed an alliance between him and Olivia, he accepted it without hesitation. At one point, he even believed Olivia Fu to be his unrequited love. It was only six years ago, when that woman vanished without a word, that he realized his feelings for Olivia Fu were not what he had thought was love. Since then, their elders had repeatedly urged him to expedite the wedding, but he had found excuses to delay it. Over the six years, he had done everything in his power to assist the Fu family and had agreed to all their business demands, all in an effort to repay the debt of saving his life. Now, in his eyes, that debt had been more than repaid. At the very least, there was no need to go through with this marriage. "Andrew Li..." Olivia Fu, her voice trembling, tried to seek confirmation of her suspicions, seeing his emotionless face. Andrew Li pressed his temples and calmly interrupted her, "Set the documents down. I'll look at them later. I have work to do, and there's nothing else. You may leave." Olivia Fu bit her lip and stared at him for a while. Seeing that he remained unmoved, her eyes slowly welled up with tears. She suppressed her heart full of grievance and dissatisfaction, placed the documents down, and got up to leave. As she left the Li Family Manor, Olivia Fu's mood was at its lowest point. She had waited for six years, and Andrew Li still refused to give her an answer. Today, he even hinted at dissolving the engagement... Fortunately, Olivia Fu could be certain that there was no other woman in Andrew Li's life. In other words, she still had a chance! Thinking about this, Olivia Fu's complexion eased slightly. That's right, she still had a chance. If she really had angered Andrew Li, then this marriage was truly irreparable. Olivia Fu comforted herself all the way and got into her car. "Miss, are we heading back to the company?" Dave Lin, her assistant, asked with a cautious tone when he noticed her less-than-stellar mood. Olivia Fu glanced at him and replied, "No, we'll have lunch outside. We have a signing appointment with VIR Institute in the afternoon. We'll return after signing the contract." Dave Lin nodded in acknowledgment. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ja Jiang and Clark Gu left the research institute and headed to the predetermined meeting place with the herbal medicine supplier. On the way, Ja Jiang suddenly realized she hadn't had the chance to learn more about the partnering company. She couldn't help but ask Clark Gu, "Can you tell me more about the herbal medicine supplier we're signing with? I mean, as the head of the institute, if I know nothing about them, it might give the wrong impression during the signing, and it could potentially affect our cooperation." Clark Gu understood her concern and gave her a detailed introduction, "This herbal medicine supplier is quite significant in Hai City, with a family business that started in the pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, their pricing is reasonable. Considering our institute's influence overseas, they are eager to establish a connection with us. They've been cooperative, and their attitude is favorable. You can rest assured." Hearing this, Ja Jiang nodded in understanding, feeling relieved, "I've familiarized myself with most of the major herbal medicine suppliers in Hai City. Based on your description, the one we're signing with today should be one of them. I wonder which one it is?" Clark Gu responded, "It's the Fu family."
