Chapter 150

But he couldn't help rubbing his hands together in his pockets and sucking in the cold air.

Yao Shi was really serious with him; his entire hand was almost numb.

She's definitely angry, Yao Shi is definitely angry.

However, on the other hand...

This was the first time Wu Liang had ever seen Yao Shi treat him like this because she was sulking.

Even if Yao Shi was provoked by him in the past, she would never lay a hand on him.

"This is Miss He Xue's friend, so I should greet her."

Yao Shi released her hand and spoke calmly.

It was as if nothing had happened before.

But deep in Yao Shi's heart, a raging storm had already begun.

Why is the young master here?

Didn't the young master tell her he was on his way back?

Was she deceived by the young master again? She was clearly with Miss He Xue, yet she had to lie and cover it up.

But why...

Why was she so angry?

Is it really that simple, just because the young master lied and deceived her?

No, that's not right, there should be something else.

Just like when I heard a woman's voice on the phone call I made to the young master earlier.

The intense negative emotions she felt were not just anger.

To be precise, anger only occupied a small part of her heart.

Many more negative emotions stem from jealousy deep within...

"Ah! Wu Liang, I suddenly feel like going out for a bit. Could you please push me out to take a look?"

He swallowed hard to soothe his dry throat.

He Jingao hurriedly waved to Wu Liang in an attempt to ease the tense atmosphere.

"Father! How can you trouble Wu Liang like this?"

"Let me take you out. Wu Liang, Xiao Xue, Miss Shi, please wait here for a moment."

"We'll be back shortly."

Standing to the side, He Feng said with some reproach, "How could Father trouble Wu Liang like this?"

Wu Liang is a guest, so there's no reason to trouble a guest.

"You!!! I..."

He Jingao glared at He Feng, his beard bristling.

I suddenly felt an urge to curse.

How could I have given birth to such a clueless son?

What the hell are you trying to do, putting those three nuclear bombs in the same room?!

Chapter 97: Trilateral Talks

"He Feng! That's not what I meant! Don't push me!"

"I suddenly don't want to go out anymore, let's just stay here."

He Feng He Jingao, who was forcibly pressed into a wheelchair by He Feng, cried out helplessly.

Damn it, He Feng is such a greenhorn, he really doesn't know anything.

Even if you don't know anything, you should at least look at the atmosphere between these three people.

"Father, I know what you mean. Let me take you out for a walk."

"You've been lying in the hospital for a long time, so it's only right that you go out for some fresh air."

He Feng helped He Jingao into his wheelchair and said with a smile.

Pushing He Jingao, they headed straight for the door without stopping at all.

"Then, Xiaoxue, I'll leave Wu Liang and Miss Shi in your care for now."

"You two should get along well; young people should have plenty to talk about."

As He Feng left, he turned around and gave instructions to He Xue.

If it's about getting along with Miss Shi Yaoshi, then He Xue is definitely the most suitable.

He knew very well why his father had suddenly chosen to go out for a stroll at this time.

The father must want to give these young people some space.

After all, they are not that far apart in age, so they should have a lot in common.

Ah, this is youth...

He Jingao, on the other hand, stared at his son with a twitching expression.

Suddenly, I had an urge to stand up, unbuckle my belt, and give him a good beating.

Youth? My youth my ass!

"I understand, Father. Please take Grandpa out for a stroll..."

He Xue nodded obediently and smiled sweetly.

Don't worry, she will definitely treat Miss Shi Yaoshi and Wu Liang well.

But it's hard to say whether it was just her imagination.

She sensed that Miss Shi was in a very bad mood.

To be precise, it has become extremely gloomy.

The oppressive aura emanating from Miss Shi Yaoshi made it hard for her to breathe.

The relentless pressure made her feel as if Miss Shi had suddenly become a completely different person.

Moreover, Miss Shi Yaoshi's gaze remained fixed on Wu Liang.

Although no obvious hostility was shown.

However, He Xue still sensed that Miss Shi had some dissatisfaction with Wu Liang.

Does Miss Shi dislike Wu Liang?

But why is that? They were clearly meeting for the first time.

"..."

Wu Liang stared palely at He Feng, who was being pushed out of the room by He Jingao.

He Jingao, oh He Jingao, you've really raised a fine son...

If your son had been even slightly more perceptive, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Snap

The door closed softly.

An eerie silence fell over the entire room.

No one spoke.

The room was so quiet that the only sounds you could hear were other people's heartbeats and breathing.

The sound of the silver needle hitting the ground was clearly audible.

This eerie and oppressive atmosphere made He Xue feel a tightness in her chest.

"Um, Miss Shi Yaoshi, is there something you need from Grandpa?"

Unable to bear the atmosphere any longer He Xue broke the eerie silence by speaking first.

This atmosphere cannot be allowed to continue.

If things continued like this, she even felt that Miss Shi and Wu Liang would get into a fight.

"It was Mr. He Jingao who contacted me, which is why I came here."

Yao Shi finally withdrew her gaze from Wu Liang and looked at He Xue.

Well, there's nothing she really cares about.

Why is she throwing a tantrum here? It's ridiculous.

The young master has grown up; he is no longer the little young master he once was.

She couldn't possibly keep an eye on the young master every single moment.

Young Master also has things he doesn't want her to know, and he has his own secrets.

Yao Shi was merely a maidservant by the young master's side.

However, as an outsider, she had no right to interfere in the young master's private life.

(Milutin: Wow, wow, this self-deprecating humor deserves full marks.)

"Ah, yes, is that so..."

"Um."

He Xue and Yao Shi's conversation ended after only a few seconds.

After the conversation ended, the room returned to that eerie silence once again.

Both Wu Liang and Yao Shi simply stood there silently staring at each other, neither of them intending to continue the conversation.

He Xue was left standing alone between the two.

Standing or sitting, neither option was comfortable, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

"..."

He Xue was extremely embarrassed to see this.

She didn't know how to ease the tension at that moment.

Miss Shi Yaoshi was completely unyielding, neither gentle persuasion nor harsh coercion.

She simply couldn't have a proper conversation with Miss Shi Yaoshi.

"Miss Shi Yaoshi, are you in a bad mood today?"

After hesitating for a long time, He Xue gently walked to Yao Shi's side.

Seeing Yao Shi's frosty face, her heart skipped a beat.

Miss Shi is definitely angry right now.

The biting cold made her shiver all over.

This never happened when I chatted with Miss Shi Yaoshi the previous times.

Miss Shi Yaoshi is usually aloof, but she has never been so resistant as she is today.

"No, Miss He Xue, I'm fine. You're overthinking it."

"But I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so please tell Mr. He that I will be leaving now."

Yao Shi patted He Xue's shoulder from behind and said softly.

Given the current situation, He Jingao hadn't expected He Xue and the young master to visit so suddenly.

That's why the other person showed that panicked expression when they saw me.

She clearly couldn't stay here any longer.
