Chapter 767: Chapter 767: I Could Never Betray a Woman Who is Carrying My Child
Lee thought for a moment, “Why don’t you move to Wanhe Qianfeng Garden? After all, it’s the young master’s place, and if Zhuo Han dares to force the issue, that would be blatantly opposing HI Group… They probably don’t want to escalate the conflict this soon.”
Zhixi shook her head, “If I live in Jingyao’s place, Zhuo Yuwei will become even more wary, and their methods will only become more aggressive.”
Hearing this, Lee was at a loss.
“I’ve already increased security,” he sighed, “If he comes again, you mustn’t go out with him no matter what.”
“Of course not,” Zhixi smiled, “Going out with him once was already giving enough face to President Zhuo, he surely can’t force me to like his nephew, right?”
Her decision to go out with Zhuo Han tonight was to block their mouths and even give them a chance to create public opinion. She had already shown enough gesture; thus, Zhuo Yuwei should not be relentlessly oppressive if he still possesses any reasoning.
“Young Mistress, you should rest early,” Lee said, looking at her tired complexion with worry, “Tomorrow, I will arrange for a doctor to come to the house and check on you.”
“Mhm.” Zhixi did not push herself, stood up to go to her room, but hesitated for a moment and finally headed to Xiaobao’s room instead.
The little guy was already asleep.
Zhixi hugged her son’s soft body, and her continuously tense nerves finally relaxed.
Jingyao, you must come back soon… she thought drowsily, and eventually fell asleep.
***
Yanzhou City, He Family old house.
He Yirong saw the scene in the study through the monitor, his expression very unpleasant.
All day long, He Jingyao acted as if he didn’t know there was a woman in the room with him, burying himself in books and various documents without ever looking up.
On the sofa, the girl he had brought in didn’t dare to make a fuss, sitting quietly there, touching nothing.
“Useless,” He Yirong couldn’t help but curse.
Hen Bing gave a bitter smile and said, “Mr. He, if this girl had been of an aggressive nature, she wouldn’t be the type the young master likes…”
He Yirong thought it over, realizing the truth in this.
But why, for the same type of woman, did one receive his adoration while he didn’t spare this one a glance?
He Yirong thought for a while, “Send a walkie-talkie in there.”
Hen Bing followed the order and left.
After a while, He Yirong heard He Jingyao’s voice from the walkie-talkie on his side, “Father, it’s so late, haven’t you rested yet?”
“Are you doing this to oppose me, or do you genuinely have no interest in that woman?” He Yirong asked coldly.
He Jingyao laughed, “Both.”
“…” He Yirong held back, “What exactly are you holding on to?”
“Zhixi is pregnant, I can’t possibly betray a woman who is carrying my child,” He Jingyao said evenly.
This reason might be more convincing to He Yirong.
“What?” He Yirong was shocked, “You aren’t lying to me?”
“Huh… Whether I say Xiaobao is your own grandson, or Zhixi is pregnant, you still don’t believe,” He Jingyao’s tone took on a hint of sarcasm, “Do you actually wish that I have no offspring?”
“Shut up!” He Yirong snapped, feeling irritated and confused.
He still felt that the young man was deceiving him, but what if it was true…
“Fine, tomorrow morning I’ll send a doctor to Yangdong City, if you haven’t lied to me, I’ll let you out,” He Yirong said, “Tonight, you better stay inside!”
