When Pei Yunge felt a pinch on the nape of her neck, a numbing current seemed to shoot straight up her spine.
“…”
It sounded like he was giving her face.
However, when this scene fell into Cheng Xueyuan’s eyes, jealousy boiled in her heart as she stared fixedly at these two people who were whispering in public.
“Sir, Pei Yunge already has someone she likes. She likes my younger cousin, Cheng Zihuai!” Cheng Xueyuan’s heart ached and her jealousy increased.
It was hard for her to imagine why such a man would fall for Pei Yunge?!
“Cheng Xueyuan!”
Cheng Zihuai, who was beside her, interrupted her with a terrible expression.
However, his eyes followed Pei Yunge closely, wanting to know if she would refute.
“Cheng Xueyuan, must you disgust me in public?”
Pei Yunge slowly asked in return.
Cheng Zihuai’s expression darkened even more!
“Pei Yunge, you…”
Pei Yunge moved closer to Huo Shidu on purpose, placing her hands on the man’s strong waist. She raised an eyebrow, looking bright and charming. “I’m sorry, Student Cheng. I don’t want my ‘sugar brother’ to misunderstand.”
Not only Cheng Zihuai, but Cheng Xueyuan, who was beside him, almost blacked out from anger when she saw Pei Yunge’s clingy behaviour!
Why was Pei Yunge acting like a completely different person now?!
She no longer looked timid and afraid like she did in the past!
Furthermore, that aloof and dignified man even had one hand lazily placed on Pei Yunge’s side, openly supporting her.
“Was someone preparing to apologize just now?” The man asked carelessly.
Instantly!
Cheng Xueyuan’s face was pale as she subconsciously grabbed Cheng Zihuai helplessly. “Zihuai, I…”
How could she not tell that this man was not to be provoked?
Cheng Zihuai calmed down very quickly. “Sir, this matter might be mediated. Actually, there’s no need to embarrass both sides.”
However…
The man chuckled softly. His magnetic voice was languid and unconcerned, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
“I’m here to stand up for my child, not to uphold justice.”
With that said, many of the women in the dining hall who heard this had the urge to kill their boyfriends.
This was the first time they saw a man being so suave yet unreasonable!
However…
Cheng Zihuai, who had the worst expression, could only clench his fists as he stared at Huo Shidu with a livid expression.
“What if I don’t agree?”
“It’s quite embarrassing to bicker with a brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”
The man’s smooth jawline was superior and his posture was gentle and languid. His casual tone still hit Cheng Zihuai’s self-esteem with every word. “Then let your parents come and get you.”
Just from this confrontation, Cheng Zihuai felt the difference between himself and this man in front of him!!
His eyes were red and he could not help but clench his fists tightly as his entire body shivered.
Assistant Ceng, who had returned, reminded him with a smile, “Master Du, there seems to be only one listed company with the surname Cheng in Yun Cheng.”
“A while back, they even contacted our Huo Corporation to seek an opportunity to work with us.”
With that said, Cheng Zihuai looked up suddenly, his pupils contracting and he took a step back instinctively.
The Huo Corporation…
Was it the Huo Corporation?!
All along, Cheng Zihuai had some understanding of his family business. He also knew what kind of existence the Huo Corporation was in the country.
“Huo Corporation… How could it be the Huo Corporation?!”
Even Cheng Xueyuan, a young lady who didn’t know much about the company, had a certain level of understanding towards the Huo Corporation.
