The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Zhou Xiaoxuan said bitterly, "I really want to call Yan Xixi right now and tell her to come back once... Something this big has happened, does she really not know or is she pretending not to?? Information travels so fast nowadays, she’s definitely pretending, right?"

"No matter how fast information travels, Americans still can’t possibly know that a dog in your compound has gone missing, can they?"

Huang’s mom wasn’t some celebrity. Who would know she died?

Other than some gossip from the neighbors for a few days, the relevant departments haven’t said a word. How could Yan Xixi know?

Honestly.

"Ugh, Xu Xiaoya, if you won’t call her, I will. I don’t believe this woman’s heart is made of iron... Huang Xiaojue gave her ten years, and what about her?? What has she ever done for Xiaojue??? Are there really women this cruel in the world?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not... At a time like this, you absolutely can’t tell her and distract her. Besides, her coming back wouldn’t help with anything."

"So we just let her keep pretending to be deaf and dumb? Ugh, I’m so pissed off for Huang Xiaojue. Damn it, why do men always fall for those selfish, self-centered women? What’s so good about Yan Xixi? She’s so selfish... If you ask me, she’s obviously just afraid of offending Wan Donglin and acting like she doesn’t know... Shameless woman, ugh..."

"What is wrong with you, why are you so unreasonable?"

"What did I say that was wrong? Heh, life is long, I’ll be waiting to see how she ends up. A wealthy young madam? I don’t think so!"

"She’ll come back once she graduates. Zhou Xiaoxuan, don’t meddle."

Zhou Xiaoxuan just kept sighing.

The mourning hall wasn’t big, but it felt especially empty.

When Wan Donglin walked in, he immediately felt a chilling cold.

No one greeted him; he went straight up to pay his respects.

After a while, he turned around and met Huang’s father’s wary gaze.

He spoke very politely: "Uncle, this happened so suddenly, it caught everyone by surprise. Please accept my condolences."

Huang’s father was icy.

Wan Donglin turned to Huang Xiaojue, but Huang Xiaojue didn’t even look at him. Wan Donglin had no choice but to clear his throat and say in a low voice, "Mr. Huang, I’ve brought something for you. I know this isn’t a good time to talk, but I was entrusted with this, so I have to be presumptuous..."

He handed over the invitation.

Old Zhang was very cautious and had specially sent the invitation.

Huang Xiaojue reached out and took it.

It was written in Old Zhang’s own hand, which showed his sincerity. It was also an obvious signal: Huang Xiaojue, I won’t pursue anything from your past, and I’ll promote you heavily, reuse you; your prospects will be even brighter than before.

Given the situation now, this was already the best protective token. No exaggeration, it was a Death Exemption Token.

"Mr. Huang, I’m also very saddened by Auntie’s passing, it’s just that..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly froze.

He saw Huang Xiaojue raise his hand and rip the invitation cleanly in two, then toss it straight into the trash can beside him.

His voice was light, his manner eerily calm: "Mr. Wan, please leave."

That was his response.

The order to leave had been issued; Wan Donglin couldn’t stay any longer. He let out a wry smile, turned back, bowed once more to Huang’s mother’s portrait, and only then strode out.

All around, it fell silent again, like death.

Huang’s father drew his gaze back from his wife’s portrait and looked at his son. The grief of these past few days had almost completely crushed him, but whenever he had a moment of clarity, he was always worried about his boy.

In this treacherous circle, there is never such a thing as getting out unscathed, and you can’t sit on the fence. It’s always you die or I live. If only they had never met Zhou Ting back then, maybe none of this would have gone this far.
