Chapter 448 - The Plan Begins
Chapter 448 The Plan Begins
Xiao Bing booked a restaurant and invited many guests to show his respect for Poisonous Fox. Except for the ones in the Xiao Mansion, he even invited the Heavenly Kings in Jiang City. Everyone drank a lot, but Poisonous Fox only drank water. Xiao Bing knew that Poisonous Fox was a self-restrained person, according to his observation. Men with alert minds often stayed sober. But this kind of men was very rare nowadays. It was lucky for Xiao Bing to have Poisonous Fox’s support.
After the feast, the guests began leaving. On the way back to the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Bing drove past the Jiang Cheng hospital and saw Liu Kexin walking out of the building. The girl still looked very innocent, but she was thinner now. Xiao Bing’s mind went blank for a moment. It was not until the next moment that Xiao Bing realized he had driven a distance away. Xiao Bing began pondering why Liu Kexin looked thinner. Was it because of him?
Xiao Bing had always hoped that Liu Kexin could find her own Mr. Right. But when Liu Kexin broke up with Yu Miao, Xiao Bing felt it was a pity, yet at the same time, he was relieved, which terrified him.
Could it be that he had fallen in love with this girl?
However, Xiao Bing was certain that he would never let go of Yezi in exchange for any woman. Hence, why should he stand between this good girl and her happiness.
Xiao Bing could not help liking her, but he did not want to stop her from pursuing her happiness. She was so innocent that Xiao Bing did not want to ruin it. He was afraid that she would be harmed. Actually Xiao Bing received Liu Kexin’s text after he came back. But he never replied, fearing that Liu Kexin might fall deeper in love with him. Yu Miao was a decent man, yet she chose to leave him. Xiao Bing thought it was because of him.
Xiao Bing could not stop thinking about her even after he went home. He felt a certain urge to call her or text her. Xiao Bing was too concerned about her. But he suppressed that urge. If time could make her forget about him, it would be best for the girl.
Alas!
Liu Xiaorui had fallen asleep. She always slept between Xiao Bing and Yezi. Yezi walked out of the bathroom with her hair dripping wet. She had just taken a shower.
Xiao Bing suddenly stood up and cradled the sleeping girl in his arms. Then he put her on the other side of the bed. He waved at Yezi, who laughed and laid down between them. Holding Yezi in his arms, Xiao Bing said softly, “I’ll hold you in my arms tonight.”
“Okay.” Yezi’s eyes glittered, which made Xiao Bing’s heart start racing. She suddenly popped a question at him, “Do you have something to tell me?”
“What?” Xiao Bing was flustered. He pointed at his nose and said deliberately, “Me? No?”
Yezi pouted, “I don’t believe you. Are you are hiding something from me?”
Xiao Bing managed a wry smile, “I’m not. Why did you say that?”
“I’m your woman. If I can’t see through you, how can I be your woman…” Yezi smiled, “But it’s okay if you don’t want to say it… I’ll always be by your side. The road is long and I want you to share your emotions with me along the journey.”
Xiao Bing looked at Yezi, his mind blown. He suddenly felt a warm stream flowing through his heart. He believed that as long as it was for Yezi, it was worth it.
Yezi noticed Xiao Bing’s silence. She put on a mischievous smile, “Kiss me…”
Xiao Bing put his lips on hers slowly.
After Poisonous Fox came to this city, he had been training Zhang Qiang in the Xiao Mansion for three days. He came up with the character role and the lines for Zhang Qiang, while Xiao Bing was also involved in the plan. Zhang Qiang was indeed a qualified actor. Even Poisonous Fox was very satisfied with him. After three days of training, Zhang Qiang somehow respected Poisonous Fox more. The more time he had spent with this man, the scarier he found this man to be.
Finally, they began implementing the plan on the fourth day.
The Ye Group threw a splendid feast and they invited all of the moguls in this city, They even requested that every guest must bring a dancing partner. Xu Wenting’s father was one of those invited.
Xu Wenting’s father was called Xu Sheng and was quite a successful businessman in Jiang City. But there was still a gap between him and the Ye Group. Before, Xu Wenting seldom made friends with the others and she scarcely talked to her father. Though Yezi had gone to Xu Wenting’s house twice, she had never met her father. So he did not know his daughter had a friend who was the board leader of the Ye Group.
He cherished this opportunity to join a party with the other upper-classes in Jiang City. His career might take a leap if he could curry favor with the Ye Group. So on the day he got the invitation, he talked to his wife about it.
Yet what surprised him was that his usually considerate wife refused to go with him. She laid on the bed and said she felt uncomfortable and she did not want to go.
Xu Sheng’s mind was not at home most of the time, so he did not really know what his wife was doing. He thought she was just making excuses. He could not help feeling angry. Frowning, he said impatiently, “The feast is related to the future of my business and you are not feeling well?”
The middle-aged woman opened her mouth, but she did not say a word. Xu Wenting came into the room suddenly. She walked to the bedside and looked at her father with disappointment. “Dad, do you why my mother feels sick? She has been waiting for you to come home, even though she is sick. Have you ever thought about her these days? Didn’t you start from nothing with my mother’s help? She has been with you since you were just a poor boy. I remember that when I was a little girl, she was the one who took care of me. And she had to prepare food for you and wait for you to come home! You don’t remember all of that?”
“Now my mother is sick and you are yelling at her, because it concerns your business? Has she ever mistreated you? Have you forgotten how she supported you? Has she not contributed at all to your career?”
Xu Sheng suddenly recalled that it was his wife’s family who had given him the start-up funds. Then he felt guilty. But then the guilt was mitigated when he thought of the other woman, who was able to make him feel so alive. He decided he would find a way to compensate his wife.
He sighed with guilt and walked out of the room. His wife began sobbing on the bed.
Xu Sheng left home. Xu Wenting felt sad as she watched her mother crying. “Mom, please don’t be sad. That woman will not have a good ending.”
The middle-aged woman shook her head. One could easily tell that she was a beauty, even if she was at such an age. It was obvious that she must have been very beautiful when she was young. Xu Wenting inherited her beauty to some extent. But now she looked very wan and sallow.
She sighed and said, “Your father said that this function was a good opportunity for him to build up his relationship with the leading enterprises in Jiang City. Should I have supported him this time…”
Xu Wenting said hotly, “You are sick and he doesn’t care about you. Does his business matter more than your health?”
“But…”
“There are no buts.” Xu Wenting said, “Anyway, you can’t go with him this time.”
Xu Wenting had never been this intransigent before, which surprised her mother. Then Xu Wenting said, “Mom, if you choose to go with him this time, my heart will be broken…”
“I…” The middle-aged woman hesitated and sighed, “Fine… I won’t accompany him.”
It was not until then that Xu Wenting felt relieved. As long as her mother stayed at home, the plan could be carried out. It was the only opportunity for her father to be rid of that gold-digger.
She recalled how perfect Poisonous Fox’s plan was. She felt relieved when she recalled how Poisonous Fox explained his plan in a psychological way. She believed that they would succeed.
Xu Sheng still wanted to go to the feast after he left home. But he wanted his mistress to be his dancing partner. … If it weren’t for the fact that some businessmen in this city knew his wife, he would not have had asked his wife in the first place. Since his present wife refused him, he had to ask his mistress, who he believed would be his future wife.
While he was driving towards his mistress’s house, a black car followed him discreetly.
