Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Yuan Yuxi Takes Action (3rd Update)
In Room 8 on the 30th floor, the presidential suite.
Zheng Yutong hugged a pillow, sitting on the sofa.
Her brother, Zheng Wenbin, was pacing back and forth in front of her.
“Yutong, did you go to Beauty Island with someone named Xiao Ling today?” Zheng Wenbin asked, looking at Zheng Yutong.
“Yes.” Zheng Yutong answered without any concealment.
Seeing that Zheng Yutong showed no sign of reflection, Zheng Wenbin got angry and said, “Do you know that Liu Xuan already knows about you and Xiao Xiao?
He’s already come to me demanding answers. If you continue with that Xiao Ling, then the business cooperation between our Zheng and Liu families will be ruined!”
“Brother, I’m not his wife. Who I make friends with is none of his business. How can he demand answers from you?
And do I have to marry him for the business cooperation between the Zheng and Liu families?” Zheng Yutong retaliated angrily.
Meanwhile, in Room 8 on the 29th floor.
The siblings of the Liu family were having a similar conversation.
Liu Wei was sitting on the sofa with her knees up, watching a TV drama.
While Liu Xuan was pacing in front of her.
“Liu Wei, do you know who that Lin Fei is?” Liu Xuan asked his sister seriously.
Liu Wei’s eyes didn’t leave the TV screen, as she casually replied, “Who is he?”
Liu Xuan said, “He’s just a big fraud who deceives women with his feelings!”
Liu Wei said, “Really?”
But she clearly didn’t believe him.
“You don’t believe? Today, Zheng Wenbin’s cousin from Huadu came over, he went to the same school as Lin Fei, and he said that Lin Fei has plenty of girlfriends!
Some nurse, a CEO, five or six girls from the school, they’re all his girlfriends!” Liu Xuan said with an expression of shock.
“And you still want to be with him?”
Liu Wei looked up at her brother and said, “Brother, how do you know Zheng Wenbin’s cousin isn’t making it up? Who knows if this is something he fabricated? Unless there’s evidence to make me believe it.”
Liu Xuan: “…”
He really had no evidence.
Meanwhile, one floor up, in Room 8 on the 30th floor.
Zheng Wenbin was earnestly trying to persuade Zheng Yutong: “Yutong, our Zheng and Liu families have been close for generations and are perfectly matched.
Your cousin Long Chen has already told me that this Xiao Ling is just a young master from a minor aristocratic family in Huadu, incomparable in wealth and influence to the Liu family of Capital City.
Moreover, now our Zheng family and the Liu family are collaborating on the Deep Bay real estate project, which is worth billions. At this point, no mistakes can be made.
I want you to stop having any involvement with Xiao Ling from now on.”
Zheng Yutong sneered, “Brother, I refuse to marry that despicable and shameless Liu Xuan.”
“Yutong, why would you say such things about Liu Xuan? He truly cares for you.” Zheng Wenbin said, appearing slightly angry.
Zheng Yutong sarcastically commented, “You might not know this, but to frame and defame Xiao Ling, he deliberately found someone to pose as Xiao Ling’s girlfriend and even had people brutally beat him up.
Even his own sister, Liu Wei, couldn’t stand it and called him to demand answers.
Doesn’t his resorting to any means to achieve his goals make him despicable and shameless?
Such a manipulative person is no different from a wolf, and the thought of being with such a person is terrifying; there’s simply no happiness to be had.”
Zheng Wenbin was taken aback: Was there really such a thing…
“Brother, are you feeling speechless about this Liu Xuan too?” Zheng Yutong stood up, clutching her pillow. “I have a date tomorrow, so I’ll head to bed first.”
With that, Zheng Yutong headed towards the master bedroom.
“Yutong, are you meeting that Xiao Ling tomorrow? I forbid you to date him!” Zheng Wenbin shouted as he realized what was happening.
His response was the sound of a door closing.
Zheng Wenbin: …
In Room 8 of the presidential suite on the 29th floor with the Liu siblings.
Liu Xuan remained firm: “Even if there’s no evidence, I won’t allow you to be with Lin Fei. You can only marry Zheng Wenbin.
That Lin Fei is simply unworthy of a noble daughter of Capital City like you.”
Liu Wei, unfazed, replied, “Brother, if you like Zheng Wenbin so much, why don’t you marry him yourself?
Anyway, I won’t marry him. At most, I’ll marry the one Grandpa betrothed me to.
Besides, you have no right to meddle in who I make friends with.”
Liu Xuan said, “You’re free to be friends with anyone, but I forbid you from associating with Lin Fei!”
Liu Wei stretched, saying, “Finally, ‘In the Name of the People’ has finished airing today! Now, there are no more shows to follow.”
With that, she turned off the TV with the remote and headed to her room.
Liu Xuan called after her, “Liu Wei, did you hear what I just said?”
His response was also the sound of a door being closed.
Liu Xuan furrowed his brows.
He took out his phone and dialed Zheng Wenbin’s number.
“Wenbin, how did your talk go with your sister?” Liu Xuan asked once the call connected.
“Not too well, how about you?”
“Liu Wei isn’t listening to me either. It seems we can only ask Long Chen to deal with those two guys and make them retreat in face of difficulties.” Liu Xuan said coldly.
“Okay, I’ll have Long Chen go find them.”
The next morning.
In a suite on the 10th floor of the hotel, Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, Wang Yixin, Xiao Xiao, and Xie Yiting gathered.
“Yiting, are you saying Lin Fei and Xiao Ling didn’t spend time with you and my brother yesterday?” Qin Zimo asked Xie Yiting.
Xie Yiting nodded, saying, “Maybe they wanted me and your brother to spend more time together, so they didn’t join us. However, I didn’t see Lin Fei with any other girl.”
Xie Yiting, having been with Qin Yunyue, wasn’t aware of Lin Fei’s trip with Liu Wei to Beauty Island.
And Qin Zimo, Yuan Yuxi, and the others, having spent a day resting at the hotel, were even more unaware of these events.
So, after hearing Xie Yiting’s inadequate intelligence, they all felt relieved.
“I’m so hungry, I’ll go down to the second floor to get us some breakfast. What do you all want to eat?” Yuan Yuxi asked as she looked around at everyone.
Wang Yixin, however, cautioned, “What if Lin Fei is having breakfast on the second floor and you show up, revealing yourself?”
Yuan Yuxi smiled as she pulled out a pair of oversized sunglasses from her pocket and put them on, proudly asking, “This way, he’ll have a harder time recognizing me. Besides, what are the odds?
Even if he’s in the restaurant, I’ll be careful not to let him recognize me, plus I can scout on him!”
Wang Yixin and the others agreed that Yuan Yuxi did look much more disguised with the sunglasses, making her less easily identifiable.
So, they told Yuan Yuxi what they wanted for breakfast.
Yuan Yuxi then left the room.
With a ding, the elevator opened on the second floor, and the sunglasses-wearing Yuan Yuxi appeared in the restaurant.
Though she was wearing sunglasses, her flowing hair, attractive face, and fairy-like figure immediately drew the gaze of many men in the restaurant.
This included Zheng Wenbin, who was sitting in a corner, sipping coffee, and had just picked up a financial newspaper.
