Chapter 121

Since the other party wanted to talk to him alone, he could probably guess He Jingao's little scheme.

"Now that it's just the two of us, there's no need to keep pretending."

"Wu Liang, I have no ill intentions towards you. I just want to know why you did this."

He Jingao squinted at the KFC boy sitting next to him.

Is the boy in front of me really the wicked young master that He Xue described?

Whether it's their words and actions or their overall demeanor, these are not things that can be easily faked.

"So you were found out after all. But I'm a little curious how you figured it out."

After realizing that his identity had been exposed, Wu Liang no longer concealed it.

He grabbed the KFC headgear from the head and put it aside, looking at He Jingao with great interest.

The fact that the other party could see through his identity in such a short time piqued his interest slightly.

"Wow... this is truly... an extraordinary handsome young man..."

He Jingao somewhat surprised. Was the handsome young man with a touch of arrogance the Wu Liang that He Xue had mentioned?

This is simply unbelievable; this is completely different from the Wu Liang that He Xue described.

Didn't He Xue say that Wu Liang was a fierce and hideous evil spirit?

But the young master in front of him didn't seem as creepy as He Xue had described.

"Mr. He Jingao, can you tell me how you figured out my true identity?"

Wu Liang ignored He Jingao's surprise.

This isn't the first time; he should be used to it by now.

"Wu Liang, the description you gave me seems to be different from what I heard."

"At least based on the current situation, you have overturned my previous impression of you."

He Jingao struggled to sit up from the hospital bed.

Seeing this, Wu Liang got up and helped He Jingao lean against the headboard.

In fact, Wu Liang didn't dislike He Jingao very much; on the contrary, he liked him a little.

The game's background reveals that He Jingao is an elder who has devoted all his energy to He Xue.

He Jingao understands He Xue better than He Feng does, but he doesn't spoil her.

"Wu Liang, I know you chose to save me because of He Xue."

"But I don't understand why you're hiding your identity. Don't you want to win He Xue's favor?"

He Jingao leaned against the bedside, gazing into Wu Liang's calm, indifferent eyes.

He suddenly had a thought: Could it be that He Xue had misunderstood Wu Liang?

He Jingao leaned against the headboard, looking calmly at Wu Liang.

To be honest, he didn't dislike Wu Liang; on the contrary, he could understand Wu Liang.

Even though Xiaoxue once described Wu Liang to him as a wicked bastard.

But young people, everyone has rebellious moments.

Not to mention Wu Liang himself, even he was very reckless and impulsive when he was a child.

However, he later realized his mistake and completely corrected his previous bad habits.

Looking back on my childhood, it was actually quite interesting.

Isn't being rebellious a manifestation of youth?

They might feel ashamed after realizing it and consider it a dark chapter in their history.

But this is also a way of expressing youth; at the very least, they've all been crazy and wild.

Rebellious young people only experience that dark period briefly.

Most people will eventually realize this.

Only a small percentage of people will continue to sink into this state until they destroy themselves.

If Wu Liang really was the hopeless brat Xiao Xue described, then there was no way he wouldn't have noticed.

"Wu Liang, if your reason for saving me wasn't to gain Xiao Xue's favor, then what was it?"

After staring at Wu Liang's face in silence for a long time, He Jingao slowly spoke.

Wu Liang had always admired Xiao Xue, and he was well aware of that.

If Wu Liang hadn't come to save him as Mr. KFC, he could have understood to some extent.

But the other party's current actions clearly puzzled He Jingao.

"You impersonated someone else to help Xiaoxue, so how could she possibly believe it was you?"

"Your current approach will not earn Xiaoxue's gratitude. I find it hard to understand your thinking."

He Jingao carefully examined Wu Liang's calm and composed face for a while.

He couldn't tell what Wu Liang was thinking.

The young man in front of me looked like a clear spring.

You can see right to the bottom, but you can't quite figure out the direction of the water flow.

He couldn't reconcile the boy in front of him with the Wu Liang that Xiaoxue had described.

That's at least how it seems right now.

"Mr. He Jingao, do you think there needs to be a reason to save a person?"

Wu Liang smiled slightly at He Jingao, a hint of joy showing in his delicate features.

He roughly understood why He Jingao was in such a hurry to see him.

If you think about it carefully, you'll know who He Jingao cares about the most.

It was He Xue; only He Xue could excite He Jingao so much.

For He Jingao, He Xue was everything.

Wu Liang used to be so infatuated with and harassed He Xue.

Since she saved him, he would naturally immediately connect it to her relationship with He Xue.

"Saving a person doesn't really need a reason, but for you, it can only be described as an amazing thing."

"Moreover, they spared no effort to specially invite Doctor Li Hua, who was overseas, back to perform the surgery on me."

"If you have no ulterior motive, then I absolutely do not believe you."

He Jingao looked at Wu Liang meaningfully.

Wu Liang certainly wouldn't save him for no reason.

However, the other party did not use this incident as leverage to get close to He Xue.

What exactly is Wu Liang, disguised like this, thinking?

"Mr. He Jingao, Wu Liang is no longer the Wu Liang of the past."

"I saved you not for any other reason than on a whim."

Wu Liang picked up the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for He Jingao.

He wasn't lying this time; the idea he had at that moment was indeed just a spur-of-the-moment thought.

There was no other reason; for him, it was just a trivial matter.

"You're such an unpredictable little devil."

"I may no longer be able to see you the way Xiaoxue described me."

He Jingao smiled helplessly; he really couldn't understand this young man anymore.

No one would do something like this on a whim; it's clearly beyond what a normal person could accept.

"I can roughly guess how He Xue described it to you before."

"Did she say I'm bad, slutty, and perverted, and that I like to fight and cause trouble?"

Just like when he was rapping, Wu Liang loosened his shoulders.

Normally, most parents would be shocked to learn that they are the thugs who harass their beloved granddaughters.

Even if they could control their anger, they wouldn't give themselves a pleasant look.

However, the old man in front of him was easier to communicate with than he had imagined.

This surprised Wu Liang greatly; he never expected to feel such closeness from He Jingao.

Wu Liang initially thought that He Jingao would give him a severe dressing down.

But that didn't actually happen; instead, He Jingao chatted with him calmly.

Like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, He Jingao and I are slowly getting to know each other.

"Hahaha, you really are an interesting little devil."

"You're right, that's how Xiaoxue usually describes you."

"That's why I'm shocked by this, because you're not nearly as offensive as Xiaoxue described."

He Jingao laughed heartily; he had never been so happy before.

He had never enjoyed chatting with young people of this age so much.

Even when he used to have heart-to-heart talks with Xiaoxue, he could clearly feel the distance between them.

But he didn't sense any distance or alienation from the boy.

"She's right. I used to be a violent bastard who loved to cause trouble."

"However, recently, apart from some minor accidents, I've made a few changes."

Wu Liang and He Jingao were also engrossed in their conversation.

The somewhat unfamiliar and stiff atmosphere gradually eased.

"This isn't just a little change, kid."

"From what I know of you, you're practically a completely different person now."

He Jingao revealed a strange smile.

This kid named Wu Liang is really amazing; he can actually chat with the other person so naturally.

There was absolutely no age gap; it was as if he had suddenly become decades younger.

"Humans are fickle creatures, even villains and thugs are no exception."

"Grandpa, my decision to save you was purely my own, and it had nothing to do with He Xue. I think you've realized that as well."

"But I hope you won't tell your granddaughter about this, since it's quite a shock to her."

Wu Liang stared intently into He Jingao's eyes as he spoke.

Indeed, his identity was exposed to Mr. He Jingao.

But given the other person's personality, it's unlikely they would tell He Xue.

"Kid, you'd better give me a reason that satisfies me."

"As the eldest son of the Wu family, who wields absolute power in Yanghai City, why would you go to such lengths to treat He Xue?"

"Could it be that, as Xiaoxue said, you really have feelings for her?"

Seeing Wu Liang's direct and straightforward manner, He Jingao spread his hands and asked with great interest.

Given that the eldest son of the Wu family cares about Xiaoxue to this extent, Wu Liang would never believe that he doesn't like her.
