The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

As soon as the door closed, Mrs. Huang immediately sensed something was amiss.

She and her husband were about to leave together, but as soon as her husband got into the car, she was called back: "Mom, you stay here first..."

Her heart skipped a beat, wanting to say a few words to her husband, but Zhou Ting waved her hand, and the car already drove off. Mr. Huang, in a panic, tried to open the car window to call his wife, but a pair of hands firmly held him down, and the car sped away.

She got anxious: "Honey..."

Zhou Ting smiled insincerely: "Mom, don’t worry. I’m just bored today and wanted you to keep me company."

Mrs. Huang forced a smile, but as she turned around, her high heel visibly tilted, almost causing her to stumble.

The door closed.

Mrs. Huang sat back down on the luxurious sofa in the five-star resort suite; opposite her, Zhou Ting paced back and forth.

Mrs. Huang remained silent.

Shortly after, the phone rang. Zhou Ting answered, and within moments, her face changed.

"... Sorry, but tonight’s banquet is already fully booked..."

She roared: "Didn’t you say you’d send me an invitation today?"

"I’m very sorry, but it really is booked full... Goodbye..."

Fully booked!

It wasn’t even a very prestigious new clothing launch event, normally something she would disdain to attend. Yet today, they gave her such a ridiculous excuse to brush her off.

Clearly, they were afraid of being associated with her even a little.

In a fit of anger, she slammed the phone onto the sofa. Mrs. Huang hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding getting hit.

She gingerly offered: "Tingting, didn’t you say you wanted to go for a stroll? I can accompany you?"

Zhou Ting smiled enigmatically: "Do you like Yan Xixi?"

Mrs. Huang was taken aback, forced a smile, and quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, how could I like her? Not at all..."

She smiled too: "But your son likes her."

"!!!!"

Mrs. Huang’s eyes widened, her smile even more strained: "Well... Tingting... I think Xiaojue has long since moved on from her, besides, she’s with Wan Donglin now..."

"Is that so? Then you truly don’t understand your son. He can’t stop thinking about her..."

"Well..."

She smiled enigmatically: "Did you know your son has saved her life twice?"

Mrs. Huang was unsettled: "Well... wasn’t there that one time?"

She spoke through gritted teeth: "Yes, the one you know about, he risked his life to save her; there’s another time you don’t know about, Yan Xixi should have died, but he saved her again... Tell me, how much does one have to love a woman to risk danger and save her life twice?"

"When was this?"

She smiled enigmatically: "This time, it was supposed to be me letting Yan Xixi die... Actually, last time too..."

Mrs. Huang was left speechless in shock.

"But both times were thwarted by your beloved son."

"..."

"The first time, I endured it, thinking it was understandable given they’d recently broken up. But the second time, I couldn’t bear it anymore. By then, your son was already with me, yet he brazenly betrayed me like this, for Yan Xixi—is it worth it? ... Mom, do you think I should keep enduring this?"

Mrs. Huang hesitated: "Well... Yan Xixi, although hateful, doesn’t deserve to die..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized the mistake.

Sure enough, her daughter-in-law suddenly stepped forward, aggressively: "Did you mean that, you old hag?"
