Chapter 561: Chapter 562: I don’t have time to be jealous of my ex-husband in the United States
Weiwei was furious. “Xia Yangyang, I never thought you would become this shameless in just four years. It’s clear that Gu Qichen is with me because of me. Don’t think you can ruin our relationship. He is mine, and you better not try to snatch him away from me.”
“If he’s truly yours, no one can take him away. If someone can snatch him away, it only proves he was never truly yours. And if I really wanted him, I could snatch him away from you in a minute, believe it or not.”
Xia Weiwei was enraged, she raised her hand to slap Xia Yangyang. “Xia Yangyang, you truly are a bitch.”
However, Xia Yangyang, quick as a cat, halted Xia Weiwei’s hand, and with her other hand, she slapped Xia Weiwei across her face.
Xia Weiwei was shocked. “Xia Yangyang, how dare you hit me!”
With that, she tried to lunge at Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang spoke calmly, “Gu Qichen is watching from inside. I don’t care, but if you fight back, it’ll ruin the image you’ve worked years to maintain.”
Upon hearing Xia Yangyang mentioning Gu Qichen, Xia Weiwei immediately stopped her hand.
She then clutched her injured face, displaying a face of injustice.
Xia Yangyang, uninterested in further drama, opened the door and entered the grand banquet hall.
Xia Weiwei also turned around.
As expected, Gu Qichen was standing not too far away, in the banquet hall.
Despite the glass wall, his gaze was right on them at the balcony.
Xia Weiwei walked over to him with a wronged look on her face.
But she discovered that Gu Qichen followed in the footsteps of Xia Yangyang, leaving her.
As Xia Yangyang entered the house, Gu Qichen went to her, blocking her path.
Xia Yangyang didn’t flinch, she met Gu Qichen’s gaze, “Good dogs don’t block the way.”
Gu Qichen’s mouth curved into an icy smirk, “It’s been a few years, and you’ve become much sharper.”
Xia Yangyang shot back, “It’s been a few years, and Mr. Gu’s taste has declined a lot.”
Gu Qichen, intrigued by her words, displayed a jovial mood, “Is that so? Are you jealous?”
“I certainly don’t have that extra time, being in the United States, to be jealous about my ex-husband. I’m just unhappy because Mr. Gu ruined my good things and blocked my way.”
Gu Qichen raised an eyebrow, “Xia Yangyang, tell me, what exactly is your purpose e for coming here? Do the Sotheby auctions not have any connection to you? There’s no such thing as a coincidence in this world.”
Xia Yangyang smiled lightly, “Mr. Gu, you’re overestimating me. I’m just an ordinary person, I don’t have such ability.”
Gu Qichen fixated his gaze on the woman in front of him.
She had truly changed from four years ago.
Besides her professional appearance, her character and speech had also become bolder.
Time seemed to have granted Xia Yangyang a hard shell, she was no longer timid and retreating.
He had also seen the slap she gave to Xia Weiwei on the balcony just now.
This woman had indeed gone through a complete transformation.
Gu Qichen sneered, “Where are you staying tonight?”
Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Gu Qichen to suddenly change the subject.
“That doesn’t seem to concern you.”
“Why didn’t your boyfriend accompany you?” Gu Qichen subtly inquired.
As a matter of fact, he had thought over the last few days.
The man who appeared at the airport might not necessarily be Xia Yangyang’s boyfriend.
He had investigated Xia Yangyang’s itinerary in Feng City.
That man, after dropping Xia Yangyang at the Xia family’s mansion, had disappeared without a trace.
However, Gu Qichen still couldn’t figure out the man’s identity.
Such a mysterious man being around Xia Yangyang, regardless of his status, was enough to make him feel uneasy.
