Chapter 182: Chapter 182: New Prey
“Young Master, don’t worry, the Young Mistress will feel your sincerity,” Li Bo smiled.
He Jingyao let out an irritated snort and suddenly asked, “Li Bo, are you married?”
“No, Young Master,” Li Bo coughed lightly.
“Then what makes you the love guru?” He Jingyao glanced at him sideways.
Li Bo’s mouth twitched, “Though I’ve never been married, I have had a lover.”
“Lover…” He Jingyao repeated the word.
“Young Master, just imagine, if the Young Mistress were to leave you forever…”
“Impossible!” He Jingyao harshly interrupted him, but his heart strangely calmed down.
Even if Su Zixi made him feel defeated, he couldn’t imagine a life without her.
He took a deep breath and said hoarsely, “Pour me a glass of water.”
“Right away,” Li Bo said with a smile. Seeing He Jingyao’s calm tone, he knew that his young master had settled down.
Still looking out the window, He Jingyao fell into a long silence. He suddenly let out a cold laugh, “He Yizheng.”
Concerning this uncle, He Jingyao didn’t have much understanding, but now…
Tonight in Yanzhou City, the night was enchanting, with a clear moon and sparse stars.
In a certain five-star hotel, He Yizheng grunted as he vented his passions, then pulled away without any attachment. Draping on a robe, he walked to the window, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.
Xia Xinyu’s cheeks were still flushed, her body suddenly feeling light. She was somewhat lost but didn’t say anything, quietly going to He Yizheng’s side. Seeing the swelling on his cheek, she felt extremely pained.
“Does it still hurt? I’ll get some ice for you,” she offered.
He Yizheng pushed her hand away with a hint of impatience, “No need.”
The swelling on his face was a gift from He Jingyao.
He had been in his office today when He Jingyao suddenly appeared. Expecting He Jingyao had come to blame him, he had not anticipated that He Jingyao would simply smile, without a single question, and directly throw a punch at him.
With formidable strength, He Yizheng was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground.
At his moment of disbelief, He Jingyao looked down at him with cold eyes, “Uncle, I have a bad temper. If there’s a next time, even father can’t save you.”
After he finished, he left with a faint smile. He Yizheng watched his retreating figure, never before had he felt such humiliation.
As he remembered that humiliating feeling, the hatred in his heart grew even denser!
Although he was an elder and a few years older than He Jingyao, what did that matter? He was a bastard, while He Jingyao was the favored son of heaven. What made it even more painful was having to admit that his nephew’s business acumen and ability far surpassed his own.
As for how to repay this humiliation…
He Yizheng thought of Su Zixi’s pale face and couldn’t help but smile.
Seeing this, Xia Xinyu couldn’t restrain herself from wrapping her arms around his waist, “Yizheng, What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing,” He Yizheng replied indifferently, exhaling a deep puff of smoke, “By the way, I probably won’t be able to return to Yanzhou City for a long time, take care of yourself.”
Listening to his nonchalant tone, a mix of bitterness and fear took root in Xia Xinyu’s heart.
She knew He Yizheng too well, so seeing that expression on his face, she immediately understood that he had his sights set on new prey.
