Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Irrelevant People, No Need to Take to Heart
Su Zixi moved briskly and, upon seeing He Jingyao seated on the sofa, her eyes brightened and she immediately prepared to pounce over.
But very soon, Su Zixi noticed there was someone else opposite He Jingyao.
A middle-aged man in a sharp suit, with a refined and stately air.
Most importantly, He Jingyao and he… bore a faint resemblance to each other.
Su Zixi suddenly realized the man’s identity, and her heart skipped a beat!
The moment she saw him, he also looked over at her, his gaze piercing, causing Su Zixi to feel somewhat intimidated.
Fortunately, He Jingyao walked over to her with a smile, blocking He Yirong’s overly sharp gaze.
“Come here, you haven’t met Father yet,” he said, ruffling her hair and leading her to sit down on the sofa.
“Dad, this is Zhixi,” He Jingyao affectionately wrapped his arm around Su Zixi’s waist and said to He Yirong.
“Dad… Hello,” Su Zixi greeted him with a stammer.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had involuntarily uttered the word “Dad” and instantly blushed.
He Yirong responded with an expressionless “Hmm.”
Thus, Su Zixi confirmed that this father-in-law of hers really didn’t like her.
“Right, Dad, what about the meeting gift for Zhixi?” He Jingyao asked for a present as though he hadn’t noticed He Yirong’s displeased expression, still smiling.
He Yirong’s face darkened, “I didn’t bring it with me, I’ll make it up next time.”
“Alright, you mustn’t forget,” He Jingyao reminded him casually.
He Yirong responded grudgingly.
He Jingyao smiled and pinched Su Zixi’s ear, “Did you run into anyone just now?”
“How did you know?” Su Zixi whispered, “Miss Ye came to my office just now, asking me to introduce her to the work.”
He Jingyao’s gaze grew sharper, “Did you pay any attention to her?”
“No, I thought her attitude was rather arrogant,” Su Zixi wrinkled her nose.
The man showed his approval, “That’s right.”
Su Zixi curiously asked, “Jingyao, who is she?”
“Someone irrelevant, don’t worry about it,” He Jingyao rubbed her head.
Su Zixi immediately let it go, “Okay.”
As He Yirong listened to the two of them chatting as if no one else was present, his expression grew darker and darker. Especially when He Jingyao said the words “someone irrelevant,” he almost couldn’t hold back!
But fortunately, he still cared about his status and didn’t say anything too excessive.
Although he didn’t like Su Zixi, He Yirong wasn’t going to embarrass her in front of her face. Besides, his son was sitting next to her, looking at her as if she were precious. If he really said something excessive, the kid would surely turn against him on the spot.
He Yirong snorted inwardly.
“Right, I might have to go on a business trip to Yangdong City in a few days, pack up and come with me,” He Jingyao suddenly remembered this matter.
Su Zixi’s eyes lit up, “Really? Can I join you?”
“Of course,” He Jingyao whispered in her ear, “Do you want to be apart from me?”
Su Zixi blushed and shook her head, “Of course not.”
After speaking, she caught a glimpse of He Yirong’s displeased face from the corner of her eye and immediately shut her mouth, feeling guilty.
She and Jingyao flirting in front of He Yirong… probably wasn’t very appropriate, no wonder He Yirong was angry…
He Yirong was more than angry, he was practically in pain.
He had just assigned the kid to Yangdong City, and he was already eager to take his wife with him.
He was intentionally going against him!
