âMy wife, He Jingyaoâs wife, has to climb her way up through underhanded rules?â
Accompanied by that lazy voice tinged with faint mockery, a man walked in slowly from the doorway.
From the moment Su Zixi saw the bodyguard appear, she had a premonition. But only when she heard the manâs familiar voice did she dare to confirm that she was not mistakenâhe had really appeared.
Su Zixi felt her heart swell with emotions. Initially, when Su Guoâan accused her, and several people ganged up on her, she didnât feel much, but now, hearing his voice, she couldnât hold back her tears anymore, and they fell in torrents.
She turned her head and saw He Jingyaoâs tall, lean figure. He walked against the light, his body seemingly coated in a layer of golden light, descending like a deity from the heavens.
The smile at the corner of the manâs mouth was lazy and indulgent, bringing her a sense of stability she had never felt before.
âYou⦠why have you come?â She quickly wiped her tears and asked nonchalantly.
He Jingyao walked up to her, took in her slightly reddened eyes, a trace of pain flickering in his eyes.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, his expression filled with indignation, âWhy didnât you tell me about this happening?â
âAh?â Su Zixi looked at him blankly.
He Jingyao rubbed her cheeks helplessly, âForget it, who knows how long Iâd have to wait for you to ask for help.â
His tone was gentle and doting, making Su Zixi feel like her tears were about to fall again. She quickly sniffed and held them back, âI⦠I can handle itâ¦â
âStill saying you can handle it after being bullied like this?â He Jingyao glanced at her displeasedly, âSu Zixi, are you silly?â
She was at a loss for words.
The two spoke as if no one else was present, unaware that the others around had long been stunned into silence.
Only Ning Yichen, sitting on the sofa, retained some rationality, his expression impassive, his lips pressed tightly together.
âOh, I just heard that Mr. Su wanted to take Zhixi for some tests at the hospital?â He Jingyao began in a light tone, his smile mocking as he looked at Su Guoâan, âZhixi is already my wife, are you questioning my capability?â
Su Guoâan, as if waking from a dream, his face turned the color of liver, and besides shaking his head furiously, he couldnât utter a single word.
Lin Shuyue and her daughter turned deathly pale!
Su Lianxi stared hard at Su Zixi, who was embraced by He Jingyao, her heart filled with rage, unease, and fear! Wasnât Su Zixi already abandoned by Mr. He? Why would Mr. He still stand up for her?
Moreover, their intimate posture⦠indicated that they were actually very close!
He Jingyao even said outright that Su Zixi was his wifeâ¦
How could that be? How could this bitch have such capability? Su Lianxi felt nearly mad!
âFurthermore, regarding Zhixi allegedly using underhanded tactics with investors,â He Jingyao lightly stroked his forehead, seeming to find it utterly absurd. âIf sheâs willing, I can establish a special entertainment company just to promote her alone, Mr. Su, do you think Zhixi needs to do that?â
After speaking, he smiled slightly at Su Guoâan.
âOf course⦠of course notâ¦â Su Guoâan finally found his voice, pulling a hard smile, his lips moved as if he wanted to say more, but he was too panicked to say anything.
âAlso, Mr. Ning,â He Jingyao turned his gaze toward Ning Yichen, with a faint smile, âPlease control your woman. Zhixi is too innocent and kind, unwilling to trouble you, but I donât have such a good temper. I have some evidence here that you might want to see.â
