Chapter 1364: New Boyfriend?
Han Yaotian wanted to have a word with Liang Xinyi, but he didn’t manage to do so because Han Zhongteng was there. He had no choice but to whisper to her in private and ask to meet at a later time.
Liang Xinyi was no idiot. Even though Han Yaotian was a b*stard child, it was clear that Han Hongbin had high hopes for him and cared a lot about him as well. Compared to Han Zhongteng, Han Yaotian was much more well thought of and influential.
The only way Liang Xinyi could get rid of Han Zhongteng was to find someone better than him. And Han Yaotian seemed like the best and fastest route for her.
Only by getting close to a man with more power than Han Zhongteng could Liang Xinyi have a chance to trample over Yun Xi.
Not long after they left the Han family home, Liang Xinyi lied and said that she had to return to school and asked Han Zhongteng to let her out first.
Han Zhongteng turned to look at her and scoffed. “Liang Xinyi, stop playing games. Do you think you can trick us with that bad acting of yours? You’d better stay quiet, or else you won’t even know what hits you when you die.”
Han Zhongteng’s warning made Liang Xinyi’s heart skip a beat. Her expression froze for a second, before she forced herself to smile at him awkwardly.
“What do you mean by playing games? The school is not on your way back. I don’t want to waste your time since you have your hands full with what has happened to your family…”
After hanging out with Han Zhongteng for quite some time, Liang Xinyi had clearly started to know the man’s weaknesses. Her innocent expression had always been his weakness.
Han Zhongteng’s expression darkened, but he remained silent. Just as Liang Xinyi was about to speak again, he suddenly said, “Get out.”
“A…are you angry?” Liang Xinyi carefully studied the man’s expression, knowing that nothing good would come to her if she had actually angered him.
“Either you get out now, or you come to my office and stay with me for the whole day.”
“I…I’ll go to school.”Updates by vip novel. com
Liang Xinyi knew that if she were to go with him to his office, she would have to strip naked and entertain him. Rather than doing that, she preferred to spend the rest of her day at school.
Before Han Zhongteng could change his mind, she quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
Han Zhongteng didn’t even look at her. As soon as she closed the door, he stepped on the gas and accelerated out of her sight.
Liang Xinyi stood on the sidewalk, completely frozen, even after Han Zhongteng’s car had driven off out of her sight. After making sure that he was not going to return, she took her phone out and called Han Yaotian.
…
As soon as Yun Xi’s class ended and she headed for the car, Team Leader A got out of the vehicle and handed her a document from the court, detailing the time and information surrounding the trial of Liang Xiuqin.
Yun Xi looked at the piece of paper in her hands and laughed. “I’m pretty sure she’s still waiting for Dad to get her out of jail. You know what? I should go there too. I want to see her expression when she learns that her last hope has petered out. Can you take me back home?”
When she got back to the Yun family home, she happened to run into Yun Yuanfeng, who had just gotten off work. He was grabbing a suitcase out of the storeroom in a hurry, and she guessed that he was about to leave on a business trip.
“Dad, where are you going?”
“I’m leaving town for a few days. Why are you back so suddenly?” Yun Yuanfeng had been about to head up to his room when he’d heard his daughter arrive.
“I just got the notice from the court. Mom’s case is going to be a public trial. I’m here to ask if you’re going or not. And are you going to hire a lawyer for her?”
“Why should I? There’s no need to defend someone as cruel as she was for doing something so evil and stupid in front of everyone.”
“But she still hasn’t signed the divorce papers yet. You still have a chance to make her sign those before the trial. I don’t think it’s a good idea to do a public trial. It’ll affect your reputation.”
