Xia Yunxi didn't notice that when she said this, the man standing next to her left, with his cold and handsome face, had a slightly relaxed expression, and ink stains in his deep eyes, which dotted with a few fragments of light. He was obviously nonchalant, but he did not move his eyes away and kept glancing at Xia Yunxi.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Zhao frowned, obviously displeased.
"It means exactly what it says. That's it. Goodbye." Xia Yunxi put on her bag and turned to leave.
"Stop!" Xiao Zhao tried to stop her, unhappy about being stood up like that. But before his hand could touch Xia Yunxi, his arm was blocked.
Xiao Zhao raised his head and looked at Li Hanting calmly, unable to hide his noble and cold expression.
Xia Yunxi turned around and looked at the arm that was slightly restrained by the man behind her. She was a little surprised, as if she had not expected Li Hanting to take action.
"Let go," Xiao Zhao tried to retract his arm, but the force holding his wrist was like an iron clamp. His face turned the color of liver. "Do you know who I am? If you mess with me, I won't make sure you see the sun tomorrow."
He spoke harshly, but still did not defend the man at all.
Li Hanting's lips curled up in a faint, almost unnoticeable arc. He stretched out his words, as if he had seen something amusing: "Won't you see the sun tomorrow?"
This was just an ordinary sentence, but Xiao Zhao's expression became more and more painful.
Xia Yunxi noticed it and wanted to speak up, but Qin Zhe grabbed her arm.
Xia Yunxi turned around and saw Qin Zhe shaking his head at her imperceptibly.
In that instant, when Xiao Zhao, the middle-aged man who was restrained by Li Hanting, was about to howl out, Li Hanting suddenly let go of his hand.
He took several steps back uncontrollably, and his wrist was in severe pain, as if it was being crushed by someone with great force.
Xiao Zhao raised his head in horror and looked at Li Hanting.
But when Li Hanting raised his hand, Qin Zhe behind him immediately came up with an idea and handed him the handkerchief.
The man casually wiped the hand that had pinched Xiao Zhao's wrist just now. Each finger bone was clearly visible and he wiped it very carefully.
His slightly wrinkled brows seemed to be stained with some disgusting dirt.
Xiao Zhao swallowed hard and suddenly attacked Xia Yunxi, "I know. This is your gigolo, right? Let me tell you, if you weren't so pretty, who would I be interested in a woman like you with such a messy private life?"
Xia Yunxi's face turned ugly. She didn't expect that because of this, her father would actually find a man of the same age as her to go on a blind date with her.
It’s not so much discomfort as numbness, but the slightly trembling body still reveals his anger.
Li Hanting, who was standing next to her, felt it. He glanced at her indifferently and then looked at the middle-aged man.
Although he did not exude his aura, the middle-aged man was frightened and took half a step back. Then he reacted, quickly picked up his bag, and left the restaurant in shame.
After the man left, Li Hanting threw away the handkerchief in his hand, looked at Xia Yunxi, frowned and was about to say something.
Xia Yunxi raised her head, her eyes clear and bright. "This is what you wanted to see. Are you happy?"
Just one sentence in response to his attitude of watching the joke from the side.
After saying that, Xia Yunxi left the restaurant without looking back.
Qin Zhe's forehead was covered with sweat and he was trembling with fear. He really didn't even dare to breathe deeply.
It was clearly the president who solved Miss Xia's problem, but why did the president seem to be laughing at her?
I secretly raised my eyes to look at the man in front of me, and sure enough, his face was gloomy, as if a violent storm was coming.
Li Hanting walked out of the restaurant with a cold face and a cold aura. Without any effort, people who came towards him would unconsciously step away from him.
Qin Zhe tried his best to reduce his presence in the back, fearing that the president would silence him when he came to his senses!
After all, not everyone in Jiangcheng can easily witness the CEO's embarrassing scene!
…
After the man Xiao Zhao left the restaurant, he was still not satisfied and called Xia Chenghai. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Xia Chenghai's cheerful voice.
"Xiao Zhao, how did the talk go? Do you want me to prepare a seven-day luxury cruise for you to relax and unwind? As a young man, you should take advantage of your good foundation and have more fun."
"Relax what? Xia Chenghai, what do you mean? You're trying to fool me with a rag. Are you fucking tired of living?" The man named Xiao Zhao, thinking of the humiliation of his self-esteem by Li Hanting just now, was so furious that he wanted to kill Xia Chenghai through the phone.
"Xiao Zhao - no, what happened to Mr. Zhao? Did that rebellious girl do something to make you angry?" Xia Chenghai was so scared that he changed his tone when the other party cursed.
"The cooperation is cancelled! Xia Chenghai, I'll remember this." After making a vicious threat, President Zhao directly blocked the other party's number.
Thinking about what happened in the restaurant, he gritted his teeth and blamed it all on Xia Chenghai.
Damn it, he didn’t care about taking a rag, but now he dared to plot against him here.
"Hello, hello..." Xia Chenghai called several times before he realized that the call was hung up.
He called again, but a cold female voice came from the other end: "Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please wait..."
Xia Chenghai hung up the phone. Thinking of the anger in Mr. Zhao's tone, he turned on the screen again, found Xia Yunxi's number and called her.
This time the call went through and rang for a long time, just when Xia Chenghai thought it would not be answered.
Xia Yunxi picked up the phone, and a cold voice came from the other end: "Hello..."
"What's going on between you and Mr. Zhao? I'm introducing you to him, Yunxi. Do you know who Mr. Zhao is? Don't be ungrateful." Xia Chenghai said.
Xia Yunxi sat on a park bench, letting the drizzle fall on her.
She did not intend to take shelter from the rain, or rush home like other pedestrians. Her cold eyes and eyelashes were stained with some water droplets from the light rain, blocking her vision, but she seemed not to feel it and did not blink.
Putting the phone to his ear, he listened to Xia Chenghai's exasperated voice, "Dad, are you my dad?"
"What do you mean? What? You don't even want to recognize me as your father? I think you've grown wings, haven't you?" Xia Chenghai's voice unconsciously rose in the office.
"If you've already published an announcement in the newspaper to clarify the severance of ties at the beginning, then you should be more decisive. The withdrawal order issued by the Li family five years ago hasn't been lifted yet." Xia Yunxi said.
Xia Chenghai was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, the Li family could find out about my return at any moment, so to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's just break off the relationship cleanly." Xia Yunxi had never known the feeling of blood ties, but her longing for home, for a father's love...still gave her a glimmer of hope. Even if their relationship couldn't be changed, that man was still her father.
