Chapter 144

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor was unusually loud in the empty hall.

Having changed out of her maid outfit, Yao Shi, dressed in a black suit, strode up to the two of them.

"Milutin, it's time to go. Chu Tian'ao needs to see me."

Yao Shi put on sunglasses and tossed the keys on the table to Milutin.

Ignoring the invitation from the person sitting on the other side, he strode towards the door.

"Huh? Oh, okay!"

Milutin stared blankly at the key in front of him.

After regaining his senses, he grinned and followed Yao Shi's footsteps with a "whoosh".

But speaking of which, when did she become Yao Shi's personal driver?

"Tsk, thinking about it like that makes me feel inexplicably uncomfortable."

Milutin scratched her head, pouted, and complained unhappily.

Oh well, she does enjoy driving anyway.

"Then, Yao Shi's brother, we'll be going now."

"You can rest here by yourself for now. The young master will be back soon."

Milutin took a few steps toward the door, then suddenly turned around and spoke to Yao Qing, who was sitting on the sofa.

Finally, I can leave this man's side.

It made her feel uneasy chatting with the other person, giving her goosebumps all over.

"Alright, please take care."

Left alone in the hall, Yao Qing watched the two leave with a smile.

His gaze fell on the documents and files on the sofa.

He stroked his chin, lost in thought. Should he take this opportunity to pay the other party a visit?

"Miss, could you please make me a cup of coffee? Thank you."

Yao Qing snapped her fingers at the maids in the distance and smiled amicably.

Forget it, let's talk about this after the young master returns.

Anyway, it's not anything particularly important.

It would be better to wait until the young master returns and discuss this matter thoroughly before making any plans.

"However, given the young master's current temperament, he probably won't hold this against him."

"But it might be different if it's my silly girl..."

He took the folder, retrieved the paper documents, and scanned them with a smile.

Looking at the photo pinned to the A4 paper, a cold glint flashed in Yao Qing's eyes.

They dared to let the young master suffer that level of injury.

If they aren't disciplined properly, it will damage the Wu family's reputation.

"You reckless little brat, you dare to touch the man my sister has her eye on."

Yao Qing held the razor blade between two fingers and murmured coldly.

A flash of silver light streaked past, and the Blondie in the photo was instantly decapitated.

There are two bottom lines that Yao Qing cannot cross: Yao Shi and the Wu family.

And this brat actually bumped into them all at once.

"Although the master said not to make a big fuss, he didn't say not to shed blood."

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Yao Qing's lips.

A strange red light flickered in his scarlet pupils. "Let's play a little game with these people..."

"He Xue, do you know this boy?"

He Feng stood up from the ground, clutching his sore buttocks.

She sized up the handsome young man in front of her, who also had a touch of arrogance.

A strange sense of familiarity suddenly welled up from the depths of my heart.

Even though it was their first meeting, he felt a sense of closeness to her.

This struck He Feng as incredibly unbelievable.

He was certain he had never seen this boy before.

If he had seen him, it would be impossible for him to have no impression of such a handsome boy.

But this strange sense of familiarity is indeed...

"He is my classmate Wu Liang, and I have received a lot of help from him."

He Xue jogged over to He Feng's side and whispered an explanation to him.

Fortunately, she hadn't told her father about the things Wu Liang had done to her in the past.

If my father knew, he would definitely go berserk right now.

Even if she wanted to explain, it would probably be very difficult for her.

For the first time, He Xue felt fortunate that she had never had a heart-to-heart talk with her father.

It's so good that there won't be any misunderstanding with Wu Liang.

"Oh? Xiaoxue, you've received a lot of help from them before?"

He Feng said in surprise.

He knew his daughter's personality very well.

Xiaoxue has always been very strong-willed, so it's quite unusual that she would willingly accept help from others.

"Yes, in the year I've known Wu Liang, I've received a lot of help from him."

He Xue lowered her head and nodded gently.

She was still very nervous when she saw Wu Liang again.

Regardless of Nan Zhu and what she said about Wu Liang deliberately pretending to be a clown to protect her.

It was later on the rooftop that Wu Liang took the initiative to explain his true feelings to her.

All of this deeply moved her.

She actually misunderstood Wu Liang for more than a year.

Why didn't she notice sooner? That's incredibly lame.

Wu Liang was clearly watching her closely in secret.

She treated him like a hooligan, a villain, and even spoke harshly to him.

"Wu Liang was very good to me; he is someone I can hardly repay."

He Xue murmured softly, her ears red, in a voice barely audible.

Wu Liang, who was willing to pretend to be a clown and even be looked down upon by others in order to protect her.

What reason could she possibly have to dislike him?

If it weren't for Wu Liang, she might have been isolated and disliked by those people in the first year.

"Xiaoxue..."

He Feng stared in disbelief at his daughter, who had suddenly become a completely different person.

Where did that strong-willed daughter go?

How did she suddenly transform into a shy and delicate young girl?

Moreover, this was the first time he had heard someone's name directly from Xiaoxue's mouth.

Xiaoxue always addressed him as "Classmate XX," but she didn't refer to this boy in front of her...

Where are you two headed?

The more Wu Liang listened, the more uneasy he felt.

What the heck? When did I ever take good care of He Xue on a regular basis?

Didn't he only start paying attention to He Xue in the last few days?

How He Xue's mouth and suddenly become "over a year or so"?

What exactly is He Xue talking about?

Wasn't that villain Wu Liang harassing her every day and even professing his love for her?

If I remember correctly, He Xue should really dislike Wu Liang.

But what's going on here? Why is He Xue starting to say nice things about Wu Liang?

"Wu Liang, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter all this time."

"We are going to the hospital to see He Xue's grandfather now. If you don't mind, I would like to let her grandfather get to know you."

"If her grandfather knew that his precious granddaughter had been taken care of at school, he would definitely want to meet the person in charge."

Coming to his senses, He Feng quickly walked up to Wu Liang and grasped his hands.

There's no mistake, He Xue has definitely developed feelings for this young man.

Now that things have progressed to this point, it's necessary for the father to give Xiaoxue his opinion.

He had a good impression of this boy. Although it was their first meeting, Wu Liang made him feel very close to him.

If this boy can gain his father's approval, then it means that Xiaoxue's judgment was correct.

"Oh, this..."

Wu Liang was stunned upon hearing this.

Things are getting bad...

Chapter 92: Wu Liang is not KFC (Bonus chapter for monthly votes 2/23)

When Wu Liang followed He Xue and He Feng to the entrance of the First Private Hospital.

He felt a spasm in his stomach.

If you were to ask him why he came here with He Feng and the others...

That can only be blamed on He Feng being too enthusiastic.

Especially when He Feng held his hands and gave him that sincere look.

He simply couldn't bring himself to refuse a request from a man in his forties.

And it's unclear whether it was just his imagination.

Wu Liang felt that He Xue had been watching him ever since they met.

It was as if there was something dirty on his face.

From the very beginning, He Xue's fiery gaze had been fixed on him without shifting an inch.

Could it be that He Xue has discovered his identity KFC?

That can't be right, he never showed his true face when he played the role of KFC.

And when he played KFC, he deliberately lowered his voice and made it sound a bit rougher.

"Wu Liang, let's go visit Xiaoxue's grandfather together."

"I'm so sorry for dragging you here; it was all my own selfish reasons."
