Chapter 789: You and I Take Care of Each Other

Editor: Henyee Translations

Even if Cheng Jie was a typical silk pants, he was definitely not an idiot.

When Luo Wanbai’s current information appeared in his hand, even he couldn’t help but be shocked by the change in her. However, after a short shock, it was replaced by a different feeling and commotion that filled his heart, making him unable to help but want to see her again.

This feeling was something Cheng Jie had never had before, and it made him feel a little curious and refreshed. But when Cheng Jie finally found the other party’s schedule and wanted to meet her again after a long time, he realized that the other party simply ignored him without hesitation.

Seeing her turn around and leave without hesitation, even avoiding his touch, Cheng Jie immediately frowned in disgust.

This was the first time he had been ignored so completely.

It was as if the two of them had never been intimate.

He thought of Luo Wanbai, who had once nestled in his arms and obediently let him do whatever he wanted. She was like a completely different person from the straightforward and valiant person he had just seen.

Their faces were clearly the same, but Cheng Jie had a different feeling in his heart.

He knew very well that it was a desire to conquer.

Just as Cheng Jie was feeling a myriad of emotions, it was simply bad luck for Luo Wanbai.

She had been working for so long and everything was going smoothly. She didn’t expect to meet this scumbag again today.

Thinking of the things that the other party had done to hurt her in the past, Luo Wanbai closed her eyes and focused on clearing all the distracting thoughts in her mind. Only then did she focus on her work.

After all, she had already started anew and was no longer the Luo Wanbai from before. She had nothing to do with the past.

The sky outside was still clear but in the next second, rain poured down.

The combination of the rain and the clear sky was clearly a little abrupt, but the dark clouds that followed fused all of this together, revealing a gray color unique to rainy days.

The pedestrians on the road were in a panic as the rain suddenly fell. However, this terrible weather didn’t affect the people indoors at all.

Jiang Weiyang shook the goblet in her hand leisurely. After seeing the beautiful golden liquid spin in a beautiful arc with her strength, she narrowed her eyes in joy.

“Do you want to try this wine that I like very much? It’s mellow and has a bit of aftertaste.”

Just as Jiang Weiyang was standing at the side, Sofia returned to her side with a glass of champagne and handed it to Jiang Weiyang.

“Alright.” Jiang Weiyang naturally nodded and took the glass of wine from the other party without hesitation before taking a sip.

Almost the moment the tip of her tongue distinguished the wonderful taste, Jiang Weiyang’s eyes lit up.

Seeing her reaction, Sofia couldn’t help but smile. “I knew you would like it.”

“I really want to ask you a question.” She suddenly mentioned something else.

Jiang Weiyang turned around in confusion and gestured for her to speak.

Sofia reached out and gently pointed in a direction behind Jiang Weiyang. “That person seems to be an old acquaintance of yours?”

Old acquaintance.

This word really confused Jiang Weiyang. Then, she followed Sofia’s words and looked in that direction. She glanced over and happened to catch Huo Xiuyuan’s gaze. Their gazes met in the air, and Jiang Weiyang reacted almost instantly.

“…I guess so.” Jiang Weiyang was a little surprised that Huo Xiuyuan would appear here.

She gave Sofia a vague answer. Then, she pursed her lips and placed the wine she had just tasted on the table beside her. After informing Sofia, she walked towards Huo Xiuyuan.

There seemed to be no one around the other party at this moment, or perhaps everyone was avoiding this publicly acknowledged enemy of Huo Yichen.

At the very least, no one wanted to go against the Huo Family, so naturally, no one would act the same way on the surface. Even those businessmen who only cared about profits mostly only met in private rooms.

However, Huo Xiuyuan didn’t look depressed. Instead, he looked a little carefree, making Jiang Weiyang unable to figure out what he’s planning.

“Long time no see.” Seeing Jiang Weiyang walking towards him, Huo Xiuyuan took the initiative to greet her.

As usual, Jiang Weiyang looked down on him in her heart. Even though he had become so elegant again, Jiang Weiyang still stood a meter away from him coldly and maintained a safe distance.

She looked up and down at the person in front of her. “I thought you’d come back with your tail between your legs.”

These words were a little harsh, especially when said according to Jiang Weiyang’s personality. It carried a hint of disdain. In the past, Huo Xiuyuan’s expression would have changed at least once, but in Jiang Weiyang’s eyes, this person’s expression was indifferent, as if those words were not directed at him.

“It doesn’t suit my style to tuck my tail between my legs.” Huo Xiuyuan was not angered by Jiang Weiyang’s words.

He blinked at Jiang Weiyang. “I only came back this time to take back what belongs to me.”

Something that belonged to him?

When Jiang Weiyang heard his words, she couldn’t help but feel that it was a little ridiculous. However, when he realized the seriousness in the other party’s eyes, she couldn’t help but frown. She thought to herself that Huo Xiuyuan was crazy again.

In view of the other party’s previous experience of fleeing out of the country dejectedly, Jiang Weiyang looked at his current appearance and sneered as she asked casually.

“Why? Did you find a strong enough backer?”

“Uh-huh,” Huo Xiuyuan agreed happily, admitting this bluntly.

No wonder he was so arrogant and appeared swaggeringly.

This time, Jiang Weiyang didn’t find it strange. However, seeing that Huo Xiuyuan didn’t look like he had any worries at all, she was really curious.

What kind of backer could protect him from being crushed to death by Huo Yichen?

Jiang Weiyang was not stupid. After seeing Huo Xiuyuan admit it, she immediately thought of a few names in the circle. Then, she crossed them one by one and blacklisted them.

Anyone in the country who knew the situation wouldn’t choose to get involved in this mess. The Huo Family could handle the matter themselves. Not to mention, this involved people like Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen.

As for her Big Brother, she had never heard any news about it from him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Weiyang already had an answer in her heart.

“Looks like you’ve had quite a few exciting stories in the past few months overseas.”

Huo Xiuyuan didn’t deny Jiang Weiyang’s words. He just waved his wine glass casually and looked past Jiang Weiyang to look at Sofia, who was still standing in the direction he had come from.

He gestured casually, “I could say the same for you..”
