Chapter 8: Love is not obtained and hatred arises from love

The night breeze in late spring soaked the skin with coolness. Shuang Xu shivered and then remembered that he had forgotten to bring his coat.

The bustle and warmth of the crowd were left in the brightly lit house, while the parking lot was starless.

She didn't want to go in again, so she looked around and saw that He Tingzhou's all-black Koenigsegg was still there, but the person was not in the car.

She stood under the tree and waited. The sky in the second half of the night seemed even more empty and dark, blocking the laughter from the front yard of the villa with a transparent barrier.

Shuang Xu heard footsteps and saw from afar a tall and upright figure, with long legs walking towards him in the night.

He Tingzhou walked to the car, pressed the key, and a figure emerged from under the shadow of the tree.

"Brother Tingzhou."

He Tingzhou took half a step back and uttered the word "cabbage".

He placed his hands on the roof of the car to calm his frightened nerves in the pitch-black night.

A pair of unfathomable sharp eyes stared at the person opposite in the dark. Although small, they were able to scare people.

"What are you doing? Hiding from a robbery."

I am 1.66 meters tall and I am robbing you who are 1.88 meters tall. Am I crazy?

Shuang Xu was getting a little bored waiting, so he got straight to the point without any more nonsense: "The blueberry mousse you just ate was made by me for my brother."

In order to prevent He Tingzhou from defaulting on the debt, she took photos as evidence.

He Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at the screen of her mobile phone. Even with a magnifying glass, he couldn't find any embarrassment on her well-proportioned face.

"What? You poisoned your brother and I ate it by accident?"

Shuang Xu took the phone back and said speechlessly: "Why would I poison my brother?"

He Tingzhou leaned against the car door nonchalantly: "Love cannot be obtained, and hate turns to love?"

Shuang Xu's fingertips subconsciously tightened the fabric of the skirt.

A cold wind ran down her spine and the blood in her body froze, so that no sound came out when she opened her mouth for the first time.

Who could be as bad as He Tingzhou? Others would at most gossip about him behind his back, but he would stab you in the face.

The wind blew across his face, arms and calves, making him feel chilly everywhere. Shuang Xu resisted the urge to run away from him immediately and maintained a calm expression.

"I don't mean anything else. You can eat your cake if you want. I just hope you will at least reconsider the cooperation with Feixue."

She didn't dare to complain too much, not because she didn't want to, but it was just a cake, not worth that much.

But that was the birthday cake she made for Shen Yu, and He Tingzhou had eaten it anyway, so it wasn't too much to give him a favor, right?

He Tingzhou stood still, motionless.

If the shadow of the tree behind him wasn't still swaying, it would have looked like a movie scene that suddenly froze due to poor internet speed.

Shuang Xu didn't understand what was wrong with him. Seeing that he hadn't moved for three seconds, he was about to speak.

He Tingzhou was moved, and said seriously: "I've thought about it, it's not possible."

“…………”

If silence had a shape, it would be the eye roll that Shuang Xu almost couldn't help but show at this moment.

The blood that had just frozen started flowing again because of anger.

"Can you think about this for a moment?"

He Tingzhou obviously didn't have the self-consciousness of being a guest: "Three seconds is not enough, little princess, you are really hard to deal with."

He just didn't want to give any chance, not even a single chance.

Shuang Xu was a little depressed. He ate the cake she made for Shen Yu, but she couldn't ask him to spit it out.

She was afraid that He Tingzhou would really vomit it in her, which was disgusting.

"Forget it." She shouldn't have any illusions about him.

"Is that all?" He Tingzhou said.

Shuang Xu didn't understand what he meant.

He put his hands in his pockets and leaned lazily against the car door: "My stomach is relatively delicate. I feel uncomfortable after eating your cake. I need to go for a check-up tomorrow. Remember to take responsibility if you hurt your stomach."

"...What?" Shuang Xu's brain couldn't keep up with his unconventional development.

She quickly recalled the ingredients for her cake. They were all bought today, so there shouldn't be any problems...

"For your brother's sake, I won't bother with you." Lord He Tingzhou was generous, "Remember to tell your brother that he owes me a favor."

Not far away, a couple came out of the villa laughing and got into a car. After a while, the car drove out of the parking lot.

A gust of wind blew, and Shuang Xu's skirt was blown up.

She didn't talk about adults.

And I was cheated.

Originally, he didn't want Shen Yu to owe him a favor, but he didn't expect that after all these operations, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also lost the cake and owed him money.

Shuang Xu knew that he had been tricked. He was very upset, but he had no place to complain, so he could only swallow his anger.

She was in a really bad mood today. There was a sponge in her heart that was swollen by some liquid, and some accumulated emotions were rushing to her tear glands at the same time.

Shu Yang's emaciated body, Chen Peiran's arrogance, an unwelcome home, and the female star in Shen Yu's arms...

Shuang Xu only felt his eyes getting hot, and his vision was quickly filled with moisture.

She lowered her eyes and said, "If you don't want to help, forget it. I'm sorry to have wasted your time."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away quickly.

The moment she turned around, He Tingzhou saw a flash of tears in her eyes.

She was quite thin, but not bony. She had a slender figure that was fresh and tender. Her black skirt undulated smoothly along her curves, and from behind she looked like a single thin line.

The wind was strong at night and she walked so fast that she seemed about to be blown away.

He Tingzhou leaned against the car and reflected on himself for a few seconds, wondering if he had bullied others too much.

*

"President He is actually such a person?" Shu Yang was very shocked.

She met He Tingzhou once, at a drone industry expo.

The exchange meeting that day brought together experts, scholars, industry elites, and outstanding entrepreneurs from all over the world. Shu Yang finally got a spot and was chatting with a potential investor about the development of liquid hydrogen drones. He Tingzhou happened to hear him, and Feixue then received the attention of Cloud Shield Group.

However, the person who handed her the business card that day and contacted her afterwards was a middle-level manager in charge of the drone sector at Cloud Shield.

She only remembered that she looked into the distance that day and saw He Tingzhou surrounded by industry leaders such as the chairman of the conference and academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

He was wearing a high-end suit, with a tall and straight figure, standing out like a crane among chickens. Facing the circle of people who were following and complimenting him, his face was expressionless.

How cool and noble.

Although Shuang Xu told Shen Yu not to help, he still asked the hospital to arrange a VIP ward for Shu Yang.

Shu Yang had severe side effects from chemotherapy, and the doctor gave her antiemetics to help her feel better. Her face turned blue and she felt extremely tired.

Shu Yang's impression of him was that he was extremely handsome and unattainable, but he never expected that his private personality was such... a jerk.

"If you don't want to help, then don't help. After all, I am your brother's buddy. How can I bully you like this?"

"I shouldn't have had any illusions from the beginning. Just because he's my brother's friend doesn't mean he has to give me face."

Shuang Xu has now come to terms with the reality and his own naivety, his brows wrinkled in worry: "Maybe I should look for my brother after all."

"Don't. Don't bother your brother." Shu Yang said, "He Tingzhou is too difficult to deal with. If you want to give your brother this face, you would have given it long ago, and you wouldn't have to beg him so much. In the adult world, since he hasn't given in, his meaning is very clear. Why should we force this melon?"
