Chapter 162 - 162: You Should Call Her Mrs. Huo
The location, business, and surname all matched. Ye Beisheng suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and took two steps back without batting an eyelid. “I see. Then I guess I won’t get in your way, Mr Xie.”
“Miss Ye, why are you running away from me when it’s the first time meeting
Mr. Xie smiled meaningfully, but his voice was still as gentle as jade. “I wonder if I have offended Miss Ye in any way?”
Ye Beisheng had an indescribable feeling.
She felt that the man in front of her was not as gentle as he looked. There was killing intent hidden under his gentle eyes.
She did not like this feeling. It was as if there was a snake staring at her from the dark. Ye Beisheng rubbed her arms and smiled innocently.
“No, Mr. Xie. I really have something to do and would have to leave now. Plus, this is the first time we’ve met. Why would Mr. Xie think that I hate you?”
Mr. Xie chuckled. “First time meeting? Miss Ye, this isn’t the first time we’ve met. As for why you’re hiding from me…. Since you’re married, you should know it better than I do.”
Ye Beisheng cursed in her heart.
No way. The old man said that the engagement was only verbal and that the man didn’t care.
If the man did not mind, Ye Beisheng and in Zhou naturally did not take it to heart. They treated it as the old man’s one-sided wish.
Moreover, when she had just become an adult, the old man had asked him if he was willing to fulfill the engagement and he mentioned that he didn’t want to.
Why was he pretending in front of her now?? It was as if she was the one who had let him down.
He was the one who rejected her, and now he was blaming her for getting married without permission? How can he be so shameless?!
Ye Beisheng’s temper flared up. “Mr. Xie, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’ll take my leave now!”
“Miss Ye-” The person seemed reluctant to let her go but a voice suddenly interrupted.
“Mr. Xie, you should call her Mrs. Huo.”
Huo Xiting walked over and put his coat on Ye Beisheng’s shoulders. “Let Lin Long take you back to our room to rest.”
He then looked at Xie Lan, “Please.”
Xie Lan suppressed the emotions between his eyebrows and watched them leave.
Only then did Lin Long become cautious. “Madam, do you know Xie Lan?”
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like Xie Lan was poaching their madam! Why did this person like to compete with the Ninth master for everything? He never won anything and now, he was here to snatch a woman?
Ye Beisheng was speechless.
‘You might not believe it, but this might be my ex-fiancé.’
However, she wouldn’t tell Lin Long about this. She only had a subtle expression on her face. “Is he very rich?”
“I’m definitely not as rich as the Ninth Master!” Lin Long immediately promised.
Ye Beisheng started feeling helpless. “Does he have power?”
Lin Long pondered for a while. “Not as much as the Ninth Master!”
Ye Beisheng fell silent.
So what did the old man see in Xie Lan? Why did he insist on keeping the engagement that no one else acknowledged except him?! Ye Beisheng secretly complained to Qin Zhou, [I saw the man.]
Qin Zhou, [How was it?]
Ye Beisheng was speechless. [You might not believe it, but I don’t think he’s even a thousandth as good as my husband.] Qin Zhou fell silent.
Then Qin Zhou blocked Ye Beisheng’s number.
She was here to show off her husband!
Xie Lan only stayed for a short while before leaving the Huo residence. Lin Long secretly reported, “Ninth Master, a while ago, Madam asked if Xie Lan had money!”
“She wants money?” Huo Xiting raised his eyebrows.”
Lin Long tactfully said, “Ninth Master, you have to hurry up.. It’s obvious that Xie Lan has ill intentions! What if he tries to come after madam?!”
