Unfortunately, Xia Bangguo was not so enlightened. Just as he left the company, his phone call came.
âHow do you plan to make him spit out what heâs swallowed?â Huo Yanzhao asked curiously.
In business, He Jingyaoâs talent outshone them all, and he never resorted to dirty tricks. His strategies were all overt and honorable, yet they left you feeling utterly helpless.
He believed the Xia Family would be no exception.
âHI Groupâs investment in real estate isnât much.â He Jingyao said with a meaningful smile, âThe Xiaâs have developed for many years and have a deep foundation. They make a good stepping stone.â
Huo Yanzhao instantly inhaled sharply, clutching his chest as he said, âThatâs too cruel! Did you come up with a plan the moment you saw Xia Xinyuâs suicide??â
He Jingyao sipped his red wine, smiling slightly: âIt wasnât that exaggerated.â
Huo Yanzhao let out a sigh of relief.
âIâve had the plan for a long time, Xia Xinyuâs suicide just gave me the right opportunity,â said He Jingyao indifferently.
Huo Yanzhao sucked in breath again and hissed, âThatâs even more sick! Iâm starting to feel sympathy for that old thing Xia Bangguo. After all the underhanded and damaging tactics he used to build his empire over the years⦠tsk, tsk.â
âOh? By that, do you mean youâre no longer interested in the Xiaâs shares?â He Jingyao looked at him, his eyes mocking.
Huo Yanzhaoâs expression turned serious: âAre you planning to give your brother a portion of the shares?â
âIf you sympathize with the Xia Familyâ¦â
âSympathize with what! How many people has Xia Bangguo driven to bankruptcy over the years? I must get involved!â Huo Yanzhaoâs face suddenly filled with righteousness. âSpeaking of which, Yun Xuefei and I are planning to have children. Since youâre willing to give me an opportunity to save up milk powder money, Iâm happily accepting.â
As he spoke, Huo Yanzhaoâs smile turned suggestive.
He Jingyao could not help but grit his teethâthis shameless man was flaunting his love life again! Talking about making babies while he himself hadnât even consummated his marriage with Su Zixi; he had no idea when they might start trying to have children.
Seeing He Jingyaoâs expression, Huo Yanzhao suddenly realized something.
He teased with a half-smile, âJingyao, donât tell me that although you married Zhixi against her will, she is still unwillingâ¦â
âShut up,â He Jingyao interrupted him coldly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Considering the future babyâs milk powder money, Huo Yanzhao wisely stopped provoking him. He just twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, struggling to hold back his laughter.
â¦
After listening to the story of Yun Xuefei and Huo Yanzhao, Su Zixi left satisfied.
The lunch dishes were very homey, yet they were so delicious one almost swallowed their tongue. When Su Zixi went to find He Jingyao in the adjoining private room, she was still savoring the taste of a clear soup with cabbage cooked with a variety of seafood.
Inside the room, however, the atmosphere between He Jingyao and Huo Yanzhao was tense, with He Jingyao sporting a grim face as he stared coldly at Huo Yanzhao. Although Huo Yanzhao appeared serious, his mouth was twitching slightly, giving him a strange expression.
Su Zixi blinked her eyes and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing, letâs go,â He Jingyao said, his expression softening as he saw her. He walked over to Su Zixi, wrapped his arm around her waist, and quickly led her out of the private room.
Su Zixi had not even managed to greet Huo Yanzhao when they left the room, but behind them came the sound of Huo Yanzhaoâs hearty laughter.
Immediately, He Jingyaoâs face turned even darker!
