Lin Ruyu and Su Qing nodded, intending to go home with Ye Hao. However, just at that moment, a beautiful figure, whether intentionally or unintentionally, bumped into Ye Hao...
"Bump!"
The beautiful figure collided with Ye Hao, and since she was wearing high heels, her body became unstable and she started to fall backward.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Ye Hao quickly wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her up.
When Ye Hao saw the beautiful woman's face, he felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but couldn't quite remember.
"Are you okay?" Ye Hao asked.
"I'm okay." A crisp voice came from the beautiful woman, her lips slightly parted, and with a face mixed with fright and disorientation, she said, "Thank you."
"Haha, you're welcome." Ye Hao noticed a trace of reluctance in the woman's eyes. What was that about? Did she have something on her mind?
"Do you have a phone? When I'm free someday, I'd like to treat you to dinner." The woman's complexion was still pale, but she no longer looked as panic-stricken as she initially did.
"Let's talk about it when we're free. We'll be leaving now." Ye Hao did not leave her his phone number and simply took Lin Ruyu and Su Qing by the hand and left.
Although holding the hands of two girls openly wasn't a good look, Ye Hao was afraid they would later accuse him of meeting a beautiful woman or something. So it was better to hold hands in front of the beautiful woman, proving the truth over any argument.
As they exited the academic building, Lin Ruyu looked at Ye Hao with a smile and said, "What? Afraid we'll say you know a pretty girl?"
"Exactly! Ye never used to act like this. Did you do something guilty?" Su Qing also joked.
Ye Hao touched his nose helplessly, discreetly giving both girls a light slap on the backside, and said with a mischievous smile, "I did something very guilty to you two."
"What did you do?" Both girls looked at Ye Hao together.
"Last night..." Ye Hao grinned mysteriously without revealing anything.
"Well, go on, tell us!" Lin Ruyu said with a flushed face.
"Haha, I'm not saying." Ye Hao suddenly burst out laughing. A woman's curiosity is a curious thing; if you tell her everything directly, she loses interest. But if you keep her guessing, she'll find any way to pry it out of you.
"You..." The two girls were so angry, they rushed forward, pinching Ye Hao's side in frustration.
Seeing this, Ye Hao shouted in pain...
"Will you tell us or not?" The two girls pinched harder and harder.
"Alright! Let go, let go, I'll tell you." Ye Hao surrendered decisively, sighing inwardly, realizing that when attracting curious people, never attract the fierce ones or you'll pay for it.
The two girls let go.
Ye Hao grinned mysteriously and said, "Actually, last night, I took your clothes off."
"You, how could you do something so beastly." The two girls blushed deeply and stomped their feet.
"Haha, let's go home." Seeing the girls' flustered anger, Ye Hao laughed heartily, feeling quite satisfied.
After they left, a beautiful woman watching from a second-floor window observed Ye Hao leaving with Lin Ruyu and Su Qing. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness and reluctance.
Just then, her phone rang.
The beautiful woman picked up the phone, seeing who it was, she answered coldly, "What do you want?"
"Kexin, can't Dad call you without a reason? So, did you catch his attention?" A hurried voice came from the other end of the line.
"Is that why you're calling me?" The girl named Kexin was none other than Zhang Kexin, ranked second on the school belle list.
Zhang Kexin had an oval face, a prominent nose, silky long hair, a slender waist you could wrap your hands around, and a celestial beauty. Any man who saw such a stunning woman would have his heart racing.
"Of course not! I wanted to ask how you're doing, too." The voice on the other end carried a hint of insincerity.
"I'm doing well, but what about my mother? What did you do to her? Let me tell you, after I do what you ask, you'd better let my mother go. My mother divorced you years ago, so we are nothing to each other anymore. You've found another woman and had a son, so you can say our families have nothing to do with each other anymore. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhang Kexin's voice was cold.
"Sigh! I know my past decisions hurt you, but you are still my daughter, aren't you?" The man's voice on the other end became increasingly insincere.
"Enough. If you really considered me your daughter, you wouldn't force me to do things like this to fulfill your ambition." Zhang Kexin yelled.
"That was supposed to be mine in the first place, it's not about fulfilling my ambition. I just want to reclaim what's mine and give you all more love. You and Tian'er are both treasures of the Zhang Family." The man's voice sounded vivid, but in Zhang Kexin's ears, it felt disgusting.
"Haha, I'm the Zhang Family's treasure, and as your treasure, I'm supposed to be ruined by a stranger. That's the treasure you're talking about." Tears streamed from Zhang Kexin's eyes, and she ended the call immediately.
She crouched down, crying softly.
She truly didn't want to do what the man was threatening her to do. If she could choose, she'd rather die.
"Sob sob..." Zhang Kexin cried harder, her tears soaking her jeans.
Nobody witnessed this scene, but if someone had, they would have felt pity for such a beautiful woman crying alone without comfort.
Meanwhile, Ye Hao knew nothing of this. Back home with the two girls, he went up to the third floor to study another new product.
However, at this time, Qin Xiweng called him.
Ye Hao answered the call with a smile, "Haha, Xi Wen, what brings you to call me?"
"Chairman, is everything on your side settled?" Qin Xiweng laughed.
"Just handled it today, why?" Ye Hao asked.
"Our luxury casino has been challenged." Qin Xiweng laughed.
"Your position as president is still intact despite the challenge?" Ye Hao teased.
"Isn't it because we have you, the boss, behind us? When others challenge us, I trust you'll handle it, Chairman." Qin Xiweng said.
"Who challenged us?" Ye Hao asked, getting to the point.
"Someone from Macau, named He Shen. From reliable sources, he is the youngest son of Gambling King He Miao of Macau. So it's Gambling King He Miao's son, He Shen, causing trouble for us." Qin Xiweng said.
"So arrogant? Since they've made a move, we should return the favor, shouldn't we?" Ye Hao sneered cruelly. (To be continued.
