Chapter 357: Chapter 357 I Like You Enough
He Yirong didn’t stick around long before he left with a dark expression.
Su Zixi watched He Yirong’s retreating figure disappear at the office door and sighed with worry, “Jingyao, your dad seems to really dislike me…”
He Jingyao smiled, “It doesn’t matter, I like you, and that’s enough.”
Su Zixi felt warmth in her heart and hugged his waist tightly with a smiling face, “I know… but why doesn’t he like me?”
After all, He Yirong was his father, and it seemed that their father-son relationship was quite good, so Su Zixi still hoped that He Yirong could truly accept her from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, she didn’t seem to have done anything to offend He Yirong…
He Jingyao pondered for a moment and said, “That’s just the way he is, he doesn’t like anyone, probably going through a mid-life crisis.”
Su Zixi was speechless!
Is it really okay to criticize your own father like that!
After a while, Adam returned. He seriously recounted the conversation between Su Zixi, Ye Shutong, and Hen Bing without missing a few words.
Su Zixi felt a bit embarrassed listening to it, but at the same time, she admired Adam, being able to be the chief assistant by He Jingyao’s side was no ordinary feat.
He Jingyao’s expression didn’t change much, but his gaze became frighteningly deep.
He had confirmed that Ye Shutong had come prepared.
“Still angry?” He Jingyao looked at Su Zixi and smiled softly.
Su Zixi shook her head, “Not angry anymore.”
It was just a minor issue, and she wasn’t angry anymore.
“Good,” He Jingyao hooked the corner of his mouth, and said to Adam, “Find an opportunity to tell Hen Bing that you didn’t tell me about this because the Young Mistress stopped you from doing so.”
Adam paused for a moment, then nodded in realization, “I understand.”
Su Zixi was somewhat puzzled and looked at him blankly.
He Jingyao smiled and said, “Hen Bing has a petty personality but he is indeed a clever person. He has always wanted to maintain a good relationship with me, so he will surely appreciate your favor.”
Su Zixi blinked, “So, you want me to do a favor for Hen Bing… but is it necessary?”
“Whether it’s necessary or not, it surely won’t hurt,” said He Jingyao nonchalantly.
As long as Hen Bing was grateful, he would definitely try his best to prevent Ye Shutong from getting close to Zhixi next time.
Su Zixi didn’t quite understand, but she trusted that He Jingyao’s arrangements were for her good, so she obediently nodded.
He Jingyao smiled, satisfied, took her hand and said, “Let’s go, we’re dining out today.”
Su Zixi’s eyes brightened, “Let’s go to that private kitchen we visited last time! The one where we ran into Brother Huo and Xuefei!”
After saying that, Su Zixi suddenly thought of the possibility that Brother Huo and Xuefei might be getting a divorce, and her mood immediately became heavy.
He Jingyao comfortingly stroked her hair, “You reminded me, there’s something I almost forgot to discuss with Yanzhao.”
Huo Yanzhao ended his call with He Jingyao, pondered for a long while, then picked up a document and left the office.
He drove to Yun Xuefei’s studio.
Looking at the elegant “Yun” character outside the studio, Huo Yanzhao’s breathing faltered.
Xuefei had practiced calligraphy since she was young, and this character was written by her own hand. Huo Yanzhao still remembered how she had written countless “Yun” characters before picking out the most satisfying one.
Yet the one she was most satisfied with was the one he had helped her write while holding her hand. Although she complained verbally at that time, she couldn’t help but choose this piece that they had created together.
