[Marriage Before Love | Hong Kong Circle | Two Strong Leads]
[Rebellious Heiress Forensic Pathologist * Underworld Tough Guy in a Suit]
From the first moment Lin Zhixin saw Zhao Yuzhou, she knew he was not someone to mess with.
Even though he appeared on screen for only a moment, while the person opposite him sobbed and begged for mercy, he leisurely lit a cigarette and said, as if he'd done her family a huge favor, "Be polite. He's Young Master Lin, after all. We should at least show him some respect."
Her younger brother had lost three hundred million gambling.
The Lin family could afford to pay it back, of course, but there was clearly a more profitable deal to be made.
She had no intention of falling for him in a marriage of convenience.
Fortunately, they were on the same page. They kept their distance and barely knew each other.
The Jockey Club was in turmoil, and the racecourse manager had gone missing.
At a party at the club, packed with the city's elite, the man had just kicked the scoundrel who harassed her into the sea. Then he turned and gently brushed the earring she wore, which concealed a listening device.
His voice was tender, almost flirtatious. "So eager. Found anything out yet?"
Once everything was settled, Hong Kong's power structure was reshuffled.
Everyone watched Zhao Yuzhou ascend to the pinnacle of power and assumed he'd discard the heiress once he was done using her.
But on the humid shore, the media caught the untouchable Mr. Zhao kneeling on one knee, rinsing the sand and mud from Lin Zhixin's feet and putting her shoes back on.
Meanwhile, his crew of tough-looking men, with shaved brows and tattooed arms, were fanning her and holding ice packs for her.
They smiled sincerely as they said,
"Put shoes on your wife, give your brothers a hard time. Fair's fair."
