Chapter 756: Chapter 756: There are so many women in the world, there will always be one that you like
“I sincerely advise you,” He Jingyao played with a wooden carving on the desk, “since you think my decision-making is flawed, then submit it to the board and have me removed from my position… That’s the proper course, not keeping me locked in your study.”
By the last sentence, He Jingyao’s voice had sunk.
“You little brat…” He Yirong cursed sullenly, “As long as you back off and promise not to get involved with Duke Leslie’s daughter again, I can make President Zhuo believe in the He Family’s sincerity.”
He Jingyao’s hand suddenly paused: “You know she is Zhixi.”
“Yes, but she’s no longer your wife,” He Yirong said calmly, “You don’t only have her and Ye Shutong as options. If you don’t like Ye Shutong, that’s fine, but there are so many women in the world, there must be someone you’ll like, she isn’t your only option. If you have any sense left, you shouldn’t risk the entire future of the He Family for her!”
He Jingyao gave a cold laugh and forcefully hung up the phone.
He picked up the receiver again, intending to call Feng Qian, but was met with a rapid busy signal.
The phone line had been cut.
He Jingyao’s face turned grim as he slammed the receiver down.
Good, what a father, coming up with such a nasty trick. He was curious to see how long He Yirong could keep him locked up in here!
At noon, after Liu Minjun woke up and left her room, she saw He Bing, He Yirong’s assistant, standing outside the study.
“He Bing?” She frowned, “Why are you here?”
He Bing gave an awkward smile: “Madam, Director He sent me over.”
“He sent you to stand in front of the study door as a guardian deity?” Liu Minjun eyed him suspiciously.
“The young master is inside.” He Bing looked troubled, “Director He ordered me to keep the young master locked inside, and I’m not allowed to open the door without his command.”
“What?” Liu Minjun’s face turned pale with shock, and she hurried over to try the door, which indeed wouldn’t budge.
“Jingyao?” she called out loudly.
After a long while, He Jingyao’s deep voice came from the study: “Mom?”
“You really are in there…” Liu Minjun’s expression darkened. “You wait, I’ll get the keys and open the door right away!”
After speaking, Liu Minjun glared at He Bing: “Give me the keys!”
He Bing shook his head: “Sorry, Madam…”
“Hand them over now or I’ll call the bodyguards!” Liu Minjun was very forthright.
He Bing smiled bitterly but still resolutely shook his head.
“He Bing is following my orders, no need to make it hard for him,” He Yirong’s voice suddenly rose, “If Jingyao is unwilling to reflect, I won’t let him out today!”
Liu Minjun turned around, feeling both angry and helpless: “Jingyao has been behaving recently, what has he done to offend you again?”
“He’s done plenty, enough to scare you to death!” He Yirong walked over slowly, his complexion still somewhat pale. For original chapters go to NoveI[F]ire.net
Seeing him looking like he was just recovering from a serious illness, Liu Minjun sighed and stepped forward to support him: “Can’t you just talk it out nicely…”
At her words, He Yirong grew even more angry: “When has he ever been willing to talk properly with me? It’s either jokes or pretense! Without these measures, he probably wouldn’t even be willing to listen!”
Liu Minjun gave him a scornful look: “But you can’t just keep him locked up!”
In the study, He Jingyao listened to his parents’ argument, his expression calm, but his eyes unusually dark.
