Hearing her name called, she turned around and found Xie Jingcheng standing at the door with a cold face. When he saw her turn around, his cold and sharp eyebrows softened slightly.
We finally found it.
He strode over to Chaochao's side, his cold gaze sweeping over Yu Ci beside him before settling entirely on the little girl.
"Didn't you say to stay put?"
Heaven knows how his heart skipped a beat when he came out and found Chaochao gone.
Chaochao blinked guiltily, "I wanted to go to the bathroom, but... I got lost..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and she became increasingly aggrieved.
She didn't want to either.
Fortunately, she booked the wrong room, otherwise Brother Yu Ci would have been bullied by the bad older sister!
From the moment Xie Jingcheng entered the room, everyone couldn't help but scrutinize him.
A girl exclaimed in a low voice, "Wow, another handsome guy!"
A blond-haired boy looked Xie Jingcheng up and down, then leaned close to Chang Yue and exclaimed in surprise, "This is Xie Jingcheng!"
Chang Yue: "...I'm not blind!"
The Chang family had business dealings with the Xie family before, and she had met them once at a gathering of celebrities in City B. They were both good-looking and came from a wealthy family, so she naturally recognized them.
not to mention.
Huang Mao added, "He's the boss of Yingchuan. We weaklings can't beat him."
They have money, power, and fighting skills; we only have a little money, and we can't possibly beat them.
He also heard that Xie Jingcheng had beaten someone half to death last time, and the person had been in the hospital for more than half a year.
Chang Yue nearly ground her teeth to powder: "I'm not stupid!"
However, her sinister gaze was fixed on Yu Ci.
She was unwilling to let Yu Ci go so easily.
She waited so long to finally get this opportunity.
At this moment, Xie Jingcheng, the focus of everyone's attention, finally looked at them. His cold phoenix eyes seemed to carry a sharp, gleaming light, and his tone was low: "Who do you think you want to fight?"
This is settling scores after the fact.
Chang Yue forced a smile: "It's a misunderstanding. I was just joking around with the little girl."
But he couldn't help but add a sarcastic remark: "It's just that this child still needs to be well-mannered. Xie Jingcheng, you can take her back and educate her properly. However, Yu Ci must stay; he owes me a debt."
Chaochao tugged hard at Xie Jingcheng's sleeve, expressing her strong refusal.
Xie Jingcheng: "Do you know who she is?"
Chang Yue was caught off guard by his sudden question. "Isn't she President Xie's illegitimate daughter?" she asked blankly. "Who?"
Xie Jingcheng paused tactically before saying, "Huo Qin's daughter."
His condescending gaze revealed compassion.
Chang Yue's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning.
This little brat... how could he be from the Huo family?!
In City B, the Huo family is an even more formidable force than the Xie family.
Not to mention the rumors that this Mr. Huo dotes on his daughter.
"..."
Chang Yue looked down at the Huo family's lifeline with a dazed expression, momentarily stunned and unable to react.
Xie Jingcheng glanced around, his low, cold voice sounding like a death warrant from the underworld:
"Next time you go out, don't take the back roads."
The group of people shuddered, a chill ran down their spines, and they fell silent as chickens.
Everyone present, except for Chaochao, knew the weight of Xie Jingcheng's words.
Chang Yue no longer dared to force Yu Ci to stay.
Instead, recalling the insults she had just hurled at the child and his parents, her head throbbed with pain. She needed to figure out how to appease Huo Qin's only daughter.
After Xie Jingcheng finished speaking, he took Chaochao's hand and prepared to leave.
Chaochao glanced hesitantly at Yu Ci, and the boy, who had been listless and lifeless, smiled at her, his smile as vibrant as a poppy.
"I have other things to do."
Chaochao was still worried. What if these bad older brothers and sisters retaliated? The villains in cartoons are all very cunning!
Yu Ci paused for a moment, then turned to Chang Yue and said, "Medical expenses and soiled clothes can be deducted from my salary through a complaint."
She still had that same smile: "My monthly salary is quite high."
He slowly approached Chang Yue and whispered in her ear:
"Keep it safe, you might be able to afford a nice meal later."
Chang Yue looked at him with surprise and doubt. If she had heard these words, she would have scoffed at them and dismissed them as nonsense.
But if the Huo family gets involved...
Chang Yue is now terrified.
"Let's go," Yu Ci said to the two of them, her smile faint, making it hard to tell whether it was genuine or feigned.
Xie Jingcheng stared at him with a complex expression, his gaze carrying a chilling warning.
Although Yu Ci spoke softly, he still caught a few words and understood the general meaning.
Yu Ci was not as pure and kind as he appeared; Xie Jingcheng knew this from the first moment he met him.
Three years ago, at a banquet for celebrities in City B, Mr. Gu, the CEO of Noon Group, attended with his son.
The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy was as thin as a sheet of paper. His pale skin was accentuated by the black suit. He always had a smile on his lips, like a young master born with a noble air.
But Xie Jingcheng brushed past him in the front hall.
The boy was refined and well-mannered, but his eyes were dark and empty, with a churning darkness that seemed to be a trapped beast crying out for help, yet also coldly revealing sharp claws, refusing any approach.
The boy coldly witnessed his own destruction.
Xie Jingcheng had heard a little about the Gu family recognizing their son.
For such people, the only way to survive is to save themselves.
I never expected we'd become classmates in high school.
But his illness has become more serious.
Xie Jingcheng wouldn't normally interfere in his affairs.
And now, Xie Jingcheng doesn't care what he wants to do.
However, there is one thing we cannot do: attack Chaochao.
Yu Ci raised a slight smile, her thin, red lips neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his warning.
