Chapter 44: Dislikes Trouble! Stirring Up the Relationship Between the Female Lead and the Male Lead
A luxurious Bentley smoothly drove along the highway.
Zheng Xuelin was still thinking about his recent meeting with Xu Hao. He felt disdainful, yet couldn’t help but admire… Xu Hao was indeed a person capable of achieving great things. No wonder he had built such an enormous empire in such a short time.
People like Lu Qinghong, who stuck to honest business practices, had remained mediocre. Now, Lu was facing bankruptcy and potential jail time. All Xu Hao had to do was follow his lead, and wealth would come effortlessly.
However… how could such a person let you take advantage? He was the kind who could share in adversity but would never share in success.
Suddenly—
Zheng Xuelin snapped out of his thoughts to find a large truck in front of him slowing down. Without thinking, he swerved the steering wheel. As he successfully changed lanes, he saw another truck dangerously close. It was too late to brake…
He had no choice but to turn the wheel sharply. With the car going too fast, the sudden turn caused it to flip over, crashing through the highway guardrail and rolling several times before coming to a stop.
Zheng Xuelin was covered in blood. He wasn’t completely unconscious yet, still clinging to a faint awareness…
In his dazed state, he saw someone walk up to him, squat down, and say in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Mr. Xu asked me to tell you—next life, watch your eyes.”
Zheng Xuelin’s pupils widened in shock. His head tilted, and he lost consciousness completely. In his final moments, Xu Hao’s gentle smile seemed to appear before his eyes—like the smile of a devil…
After confirming that the target was completely finished, Lao Mo quickly disappeared from the accident scene.
“Mr. Xu, it’s done…”
Li Kun stood before Xu Hao, respectfully reporting the message Lao Mo had relayed.
Xu Hao nodded.
Why?
Zheng Xuelin had already transferred his shares, yet Xu Hao still had him killed?
Zheng Xuelin knew too much.
If he were to reveal the truth to Li Ping or Lu Qinghong, it would bring him two more enemies for no reason.
If he exposed it online, Xu Hao’s carefully crafted image would crumble instantly.
He was a ticking time bomb. Keeping him alive would only bring trouble.
Xu Hao disliked trouble…
So he solved the issue once and for all by making him disappear.
As for Zheng Xuelin’s family seeking revenge, investigations revealed that Zheng Xuelin had only one son, who had gone missing when he was very young. Zheng Xuelin was alone—who would seek revenge for him?
The person handling the body might not even exist…
Not long after dismissing Li Kun, Xia Qingge arrived at the office.@@novelbin@@
Looking at Xu Hao, who was reading documents at his desk, Xia Qingge wore an expression tinged with grievance. She hadn’t seen Xu Hao for several days.
Xu Hao looked up and noticed Xia Qingge’s unusual mood. Raising an eyebrow, he smiled.
“Sigh… I don’t know what’s going on lately, my back and waist hurt. Qingge, come help me with a massage.”
“Without your massages these days, I feel so uncomfortable…”
Xia Qingge wasn’t upset by Xu Hao’s request. In fact, she felt a bit pleased. It meant Xu Hao hadn’t forgotten about her.
She obediently moved behind him and gently began to massage him.
“Qingge, your skills are getting better…” Xu Hao sighed in relief, letting out a comfortable hum.
Xia Qingge smiled slightly. Seeing Xu Hao’s reaction, she knew her efforts had paid off.
“Uncle Xu, it seems like you haven’t been at the company much lately…”
Her tone carried an unmistakable hint of grievance.
Xu Hao calmly explained, “It’s just that my youngest two daughters came home. They’re not used to staying at school, so I decided to have them move in. I’ve been accompanying them, helping them get familiar with the environment…”
Oh, so he was spending time with his daughters.
Xia Qingge’s mood lightened a little, but she still pouted slightly.
“I thought you were on a date with Teacher Wang…”
Since the last time Chen Mo had mentioned Xu Hao and Teacher Wang going on a date and hugging each other, Xia Qingge had been feeling a bit uneasy.
Although she trusted Xu Hao and believed he wouldn’t do such things, she couldn’t help but complain, hoping for an explanation.
[Ding... Xia Qingge feels grievance, emotion value +888…]
Teacher Wang? A date?
In the brief moment of thought, Xu Hao figured out what had happened.
It was probably something Chen Mo had said to her that stirred up her jealousy.
Of course, this was a good thing…
Jealousy meant his strategy was working.
“You’re talking about Teacher Wang Xueying, right? She’s one of my daughters’ teachers. I happened to run into her when I dropped my daughter off at school, so I invited her to dinner and asked her to look after my daughters.”
“That was our first meeting, our first time having dinner together…”
He paused, then pretended to realize something.
“It was that student, Chen, who mentioned it to you, right?”
“When we finished eating and left, Teacher Wang didn’t notice the steps in front of her and tripped. I just helped her.”
“At that time, that student, Chen, just happened to rush up to help Teacher Wang. He didn’t manage to hold her, and then saw me catch her instead. He probably misunderstood…”
“At that time, both Teacher Wang and I explained everything, so why is he still going around spreading rumors?”
Although Xu Hao was explaining, he didn’t forget to sow discord.
In Xia Qingge’s mind, a scene played out.
She saw Teacher Wang Xueying and Xu Hao leaving the restaurant, saw Teacher Wang about to fall, and Chen Mo stepping forward to help but being outdone by Xu Hao.
It was clearly an act of saving her, but Chen Mo, filled with jealousy, twisted it into something inappropriate…
Inviting someone to dinner turned into a date?
This was clearly distorting the facts.
Xia Qingge had already disliked Chen Mo for spreading malicious gossip behind others’ backs, and now, she completely crossed him off in her mind.
Her mood cleared up, and she felt much better…
What do you think?
