What's going on between you and Lao He?
After five minutes of silence, Jian Yu suddenly asked Kuang Xin a question.
Kuang Xin chuckled. "It's kind of you to wait so long to ask me! What else could have happened between us? Of course, we broke up."
Jian Yu frowned. "But you two just got together."
Kuang Xin didn't take it to heart. "So what? It's just a matter of each getting what they need."
"Each gets what they want?"
"Old He is heartbroken and wants to distract himself through me; I need his network to connect with higher-level people and attract more investment to my company."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yu understood everything.
"So, you used Lao He to achieve your goal of attracting investment, and you also got to know Chairman Cao, and now you're turning around and kicking him to the curb?"
Kuang Xin didn't answer again, but instead looked away.
Jian Yu didn't know whether he should sympathize with Lao He.
Kuang Xin saw through Jian Yu's thoughts and sneered, "You sympathize with him? Give me a break! All men are the same. They say they only love one woman, but in reality, they're with another woman, doing whatever they want with her. Old He is the same way!"
Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen spoke at the same time, "Then you have bad eyesight."
Huo Tingzhen looked up and saw Bao Yanbai staring at her. This time, she surprisingly didn't glare back.
Bao Yanbai's eyes lit up.
Upon seeing this, Huo Tingzhen immediately glared at him.
Bao Yanbai's lips immediately drooped.
Huo Tingzhen then looked away.
Kuang Xin also saw Bao Yanbai. "I heard Bao Yanbai has health problems? No wonder he's so honest."
Huo Tingzhen glared at her, annoyed. "What nonsense are you spouting? Bao Yanbai is perfectly healthy."
Kuang Xin laughed, "This isn't just my opinion; it's been circulating in high society for a while now. Everyone's saying, no wonder he never touched his ex-fiancée, ultimately forcing her to cheat on him with a scumbag. This time, even after being drugged, he didn't touch the heiress of the Sunrise Group, which shows what his physical condition is like."
Huo Tingzhen asked, "How do you know he didn't touch the heiress of the Xuri Group?"
The Sunrise Group has admitted it.
Mrs. Bao also chose to acquiesce.
Kuang Xin gestured with her chin towards Bao Yanbai, "He said it himself."
Huo Tingzhen nodded.
Kuang Xin looked Huo Tingzhen up and down. "Tell me the truth, when you two were together, was he really capable?"
Huo Tingzhen said irritably, "Why are you asking this?"
Kuang Xin continued, "Because he also admitted that the rumors were true."
Jian Yu asked, "What rumors?"
Kuang Xin covered her mouth and whispered, "Of course it's because he's impotent."
Jianyu, “…”
Huo Tingzhen, “…”
Kuang Xin: "It's true! Just a few days ago, he was discussing business with a client at an entertainment center. The client ordered some recreational activities, but he just sat there drinking the whole time and didn't even glance at the women. The client asked him what was wrong, and his exact words were, 'I'm not interested in these women.'"
Huo Tingzhen: "Just because he's not interested in those women, how does that mean he's impotent?"
Kuang Xin said, "After he said that, someone immediately pointed out a few men to him, and guess what? He beat one of them up."
Huo Tingzhen, “…”
Kuang Xin had been watching Huo Tingzhen's reaction closely, and immediately understood everything.
After thinking it through, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Huo Tingzhen. She could just throw away a man who was rich, handsome, capable, and devoted. Even when the Kuang family was at its peak, she wouldn't dare to let go so easily.
Huo Tingzhen gritted her teeth, "He's perfectly healthy!"
"oh."
Kuang replied absentmindedly.
The scene quieted down again.
Kuang Xin sat for less than ten minutes before putting on her high heels again and weaving through the crowd.
Watching her flutter around like a butterfly, smiling and going around toasting everyone, Jian Yu felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
"I must be sick! What's so pitiful about a sophisticated egoist like Kwong Sum?"
Huo Tingzhen took a small sip of orange juice before looking up at the center of the banquet. "Kuang Xin is a person who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. Such a person is determined, capable of what others cannot tolerate, has a low sense of morality, and can do what others dare not do. In fact, you don't need to pity her. She is enjoying herself right now and can't wait to hook up with someone even more powerful than Chairman Cao."
Jian Yu nodded. "It was probably that momentary look of sadness in her eyes when she looked at you just now!"
Huo Tingzhen: "She's not feeling down! She's jealous, jealous that good men aren't hers. Actually, someone as selfish as her would give up a good man without hesitation to achieve her own goals, even if she were offered one. She wouldn't cherish him at all. So, she's not pitiful at all."
Jian Yu understood that Huo Tingzhen was right, so he looked away, but the next second, he quickly looked up again.
The middle-aged man standing next to Kuang Xin was talking to her when he secretly reached behind his back and touched her waist.
The key point is that Kwong Sum did not react at all.
"this......"
"Am I right? Her so-called official boyfriend, Chairman Cao, is still around, and she's already looking for her next target."
Jian Yu couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Isn't she afraid her boyfriend will get angry?"
"She understands Chairman Cao's character, which is why she didn't care about saving face or flirting with people in this kind of situation."
"How so?"
"Chairman Cao may only be forty years old, but he has already been married five times, the longest for three years and the shortest for only five months. With Kuang Xin's beauty and cunning, I wonder if she could last more than three years if she were to take his place? Also, Chairman Cao ended his last marriage five years ago, and in those five years, he has had a constant stream of female companions. I wonder if he has any plans to remarry?"
"Married five times?"
Is this person a marriage fanatic?
Huo Tingzhen continued, "He has a child with each of his wives."
Perhaps due to the shock, Jian Yu suddenly started coughing, "Cough cough cough---"
"What's wrong? Did you drink something too cold?"
Huo Tingzhen snapped his fingers, and immediately someone ran over with a cup of hot water.
Jian Yu took a sip and felt much better.
Just as things were starting to get interesting, Jian Yu asked a more gossipy question, "And what about this man? He looks a bit older than Chairman Cao."
"How could he not be big? That person's child is older than you."
"......"
Huo Tingzhen's face showed a hint of disdain. "Kuang Xin has attended these kinds of events before. In fact, quite a few people here know her or have heard of the Kuang family. They have naturally heard how arrogant she used to be. It is precisely because they have heard of her that they want to kick her while she is down."
Jian Yu stared at the groping hand, wishing he could chop it off. "The more it's like this, the more Kuang Xin will want to climb up the ladder, given her personality."
Huo Tingzhen said, "With her methods, it's only a matter of time before she reaches the top of the mountain."
Chairman Cao seems to still like Kwong Sum quite a bit. After noticing that Kwong Sum was surrounded by people, he took the initiative to go over to her.
With him by Kwong Sum's side, that lewd hand finally withdrew.
At this point, the donation process begins.
Everyone took their seats at the round table.
Bao Yanbai was positioned right behind Huo Tingzhen.
I don't know who arranged this on purpose.
Jian Yu noticed several times that Bao Yanbai was staring intently at Huo Tingzhen's back, lost in thought.
Bao Yanbai did not speak to Huo Tingzhen until the end of the charity gala.
Jian Yu knew he was suffering, because his eyes were red.
Huo Tingzhen arrived alone by car.
When he left, Huo Tingzhen got into Huo Qizhen's car.
Bao Yanbai followed behind them until their car disappeared from sight before turning around and getting into his own.
As soon as he turned around, he found a woman standing behind him—Kwong Sum.
He walked past Kwong Sum, preparing to get into the car and leave.
Kuang Xin reached out and blocked his way, saying, "Mr. Bao, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?"
Bao Yanbai looked at her without saying a word.
Kuang Xin puffed out her chest and gave a seductive smile. "Mr. Bao, I know those rumors are false, you..."
"Your boyfriend is here."
Before Kuang Xin could finish speaking, Bao Yanbai glanced behind her and left her with these words.
Kuang Xin turned around and found that there was no one there.
When he turned around again, Bao Yanbai had already closed the car door.
Kuang Xin, “…”
After Bao Yanbai's car drove out of sight, Chairman Cao's car arrived.
He craned his neck and called out to Kuang Xin, "Xin Xin, aren't you tired? Get in the car and go back to rest."
Kuang Xin quickly composed herself and gave Chairman Cao a big smile, "You're here."
"I think I just saw you talking to someone? Who was it?"
Kuang Xin rubbed her ankle. "I saw President Bao following behind Miss Huo, so I took a few more curious glances."
"I see! That Bao Yanbai acted like a resentful husband tonight, completely disgracing any man, yet neither of the Huo siblings gave him a second glance. He deserves it!"
Kuang Xin smiled and said, "That's right, he can't compare to you."
Chairman Cao was very pleased with Kuang Xin's words.
He straightened his back, very proud, and said, "That's right."
Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen were discussing the donation for tonight when the driver suddenly spoke up, "Miss, we've arrived at your residence."
Huo Tingzhen glanced at it, then lifted the hem of her skirt and got out of the car.
After she went inside, the driver turned around and drove back. The car drove down a street, and as it passed other cars at a bend, Jian Yu spotted Bao Yanbai sitting in a Volvo sedan.
Even though it was through the windshield, Jian Yu was still quite certain that it was him.
"When did Bao Yanbai start driving a Volvo?"
Moreover, judging from the direction he was heading, he was going to Huo Tingzhen's residence.
Should we turn around?
Huo Tingzhen glanced in the rearview mirror and sneered, "Turn around and go back."
Bao Yanbai immediately noticed that Huo Qizhen's car was about to turn around, and also knew that Jian Yu had just seen him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.
He had already changed cars and deliberately drove several blocks slower, so how could he still run into him?
