Chapter 467: Chapter 467 Why Did You Lie to Me
“I am an honest person,” he said, looking at her meaningfully.
Because of his honesty… he wouldn’t even humor her with a few words…
Su Zixi glared at him, puffing up with anger. Indeed, this man was honest, honest enough to be annoying!
Stomping her feet, Su Zixi went to the dining room to eat, vowing to turn her sadness and anger into appetite.
He Jingyao watched her indignant back and couldn’t help but chuckle.
He was not sure what exactly drove him to make his choice yesterday. Was it to not let Ye Shutong succeed? The anger of being deceived? Or was it the disappointment of not seeing her right away?
Rather than not wanting to disappoint her, it was more like he could not resist the urge to see her as soon as possible. The mere thought of her waiting for him somewhere made his longing burn like wildfiery fire, leading him to make his decision without hesitation.
He Jingyao picked up an invitation from the coffee table and glanced at it, raising an eyebrow involuntarily.
The invitation came from the President Mansion, yet it did not specify the name of the invitee nor limited the number of attendees.
Ye Shutong knew perfectly well that he would not attend the banquet, so this invitation was clearly aimed at Zhixi.
He sneered lightly and tossed the invitation into the trash can.
After escorting Ye Shutong away, Li Bo happened to witness this scene.
He silently sighed in his heart and approached He Jingyao: “Young Master, Miss Ye has left.”
He Jingyao heard something in his tone and looked at him coldly: “What are you trying to say?”
“Since Miss Ye is willing to make amends, why wouldn’t you accept?” Li Bo looked helpless. “You clearly know that for the new energy project, both the old master and the board are determined to win, yet you completely cut off your retreat in front of Miss Ye.”
He Jingyao turned a deaf ear, stood up, and pointed to the documents on the coffee table: “Help me take these documents to the room.”
“Young Master…” Li Bo was truly helpless, dealing with such a headstrong person, he really doesn’t know how much more worry he should bear.
He Jingyao gave him a cold glance.
Li Bo had no choice but to close his mouth and silently picked up the documents and left.
Still, seeing that invitation in the trash can, he thought about it and decided to pick it out.
Outside the villa, Huo Yanhui finally caught up with Ye Shutong just before she got into her car.
“Stop!” he commanded with a deep voice.
Ye Shutong finally halted, turning to look at him and smiling: “Second Young Master Huo.”
Huo Yanhui looked at her delicate face, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
He was not a green boy new to the scene, so he couldn’t utter naive words like “why did you lie to me.”
He just felt a painful squeeze in his heart, his first love for a woman had come to such an ending. Was this his retribution?
“If there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave.” Ye Shutong smiled again and reached out to open the car door.
“Jingyao is a good friend of mine, yet I deceived him for you yesterday,” Huo Yanhui said with self-mockery, “Of course, I don’t expect you to be touched by this, as I must seem like a fool in your eyes. But even if I am a fool, He Jingyao isn’t. He’s already married, so he definitely won’t give you any opportunities.”
Ye Shutong’s gaze flickered: “If he doesn’t give me a chance, then it means he isn’t sure he won’t be tempted by me, thank you, my confidence is even stronger now.”
Huo Yanhui clenched his teeth: “If he doesn’t give you a chance, how could he possibly be tempted by you?”
