Lin Dieying had originally thought that Ye Xiao was leaning over to say something to Han Xuewei and felt a twinge of heartache, but when she heard what Ye Xiao said, that heartache vanished instantly. They were talking about business matters.

Dieying was not particularly interested in these topics, so she didn't pay much attention.

However, Han Xuewei's face was flushed red. She heard every word that Ye Xiao said, so she glared at him viciously.

Ye Xiao knew why she was glaring, but he said, "Let me tell you, helping your company was all for Dieying's sake. And you're still glaring at me like this? You're driving me nuts! Humph, I'm leaving."

With that, Ye Xiao headed for the door, and Lin Dieying quickly followed him out, constantly saying, "Ye Xiao, don't be angry. Cousin Xuewei is actually a nice person."

Ye Xiao turned to look at Lin Dieying, gently stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "Do I look petty to you? Don't worry, I won't stoop to her level. Alright, I really have to go now. I've skipped several classes. I don't even know if the school leaders will criticize me."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words and as a student herself, Dieying immediately said, "Oh, that's right, you were supposed to have class today. Ye Xiao, you better hurry back."

Afterward, Ye Xiao quickly left Dieying's home, singing a tune as he walked, clearly feeling very pleased.

Ye Xiao hated being ignored by girls—especially those who thought they were so proud. Han Xuewei was certainly one of them, at least until a second ago, so naturally, Ye Xiao teased her all he could.

Ye Xiao also knew that Han Xuewei was on the verge of erupting like a volcano. If he had stayed any longer, she might have lashed out with abandon, and whether Ye Xiao could leave the house in peace was not certain.

Meanwhile, Han Xuewei at the Lin residence was truly livid. Ye Xiao was definitely not a good person in her eyes, and what made her even angrier was that before leaving, he had not only verbally teased her but had also touched Lin Dieying. Wasn't that taking advantage of both Dieying and herself at the same time?

When Lin Dieying returned, she saw Han Xuewei's displeased face and immediately went over to console her, "Cousin Xuewei, don't be angry. Ye Xiao is a good person. Didn't he say he would help your company in the future?"

Looking at Lin Dieying's innocent face, Han Xuewei really wanted to tell her just how despicable Ye Xiao was, but she couldn't bring herself to say it because what Ye Xiao had just said was too embarrassing. How could she admit that Ye Xiao wanted to touch her chest?

In the end, Han Xuewei sighed and then looked at Dieying with a wry smile, "Dieying, you're just too kind-hearted. Only you would be deceived by Ye Xiao. I don't want to say much else. I hope you seriously consider whether Ye Xiao is really right for you."

Lin Dieying did not respond immediately to Han Xuewei's words. After looking at her for about a dozen seconds, Dieying suddenly said, "Cousin Xuewei, do you like Ye Xiao?"

Han Xuewei was left speechless by Lin Dieying's question.

Han Xuewei was utterly defeated. She could only think that Dieying was deeply deluded, and it was impossible to bring her back to reality in the short term.

"Dieying, you're overthinking it. I would not fancy such a shameless person. Let's stop talking about him. Just hearing the name Ye Xiao makes me want to flay him alive," said Han Xuewei angrily.

Suddenly, Lin Dieying remembered that Han Xuewei had said she wanted to give her first kiss to the most important man in her life. However, previously, due to a twist of fate, Han Xuewei had accidentally kissed Ye Xiao.

"Cousin Xuewei, was that your first kiss?" Dieying asked carefully.

"How else could I be so angry?" Han Xuewei said furiously. "Do you know? I had been saving it for twenty-one years, but today, that bastard Ye Xiao just..."

Lin Dieying sat down beside Han Xuewei and didn't say another word.

...

After leaving Lin Dieying's home, Ye Xiao immediately went straight to the entrance of Xinyuan District. When he got there, the property manager came over with a sycophantic smile and said, "Mr. Ye, hello. The chairman ordered that when you leave, we'll provide a car for you."

"No need, I can take a taxi," Ye Xiao said with a smile to the property manager.

"Mr. Ye, the chairman ordered it. We dare not disobey. Besides... If we don't offer you the lift, I might have to resign," the property manager said with a troubled look.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao chuckled and thought, since Han Jianjun made such an effort, he couldn't let it go to waste, so he told the property manager, "Alright then."

Subsequently, the property manager ran into the courtyard of Xinyuan District and drove out in a Santana. Clearly, as a property manager, although his salary wasn't low, that was the only type of car he could afford.

Ye Xiao got into the car, and the property manager started it up immediately, asking with a smile, "Mr. Ye, where to?"

"Minghai Academy," Ye Xiao said.

"Mr. Ye is still a student? Really hard to tell, isn't it? There's rarely a student as steady as Mr. Ye," the property manager said, buttering him up.

Steady?

Am I steady? However, Ye Xiao just smiled. Suddenly, he remembered his car.

"Do you know when my car will be fixed?" Ye Xiao asked.

The property manager hurriedly said, "Mr. Ye, before the chairman left, he made it clear that, by 5:30 pm at the latest, your car, whether fixed or newly purchased, will be delivered to the location you specified."

Ye Xiao said, "There's no rush, just bring the car to the entrance of Minghai Academy at 6:00 pm sharp, that's what you can tell your chairman."

The property manager immediately nodded and said to Ye Xiao, "Rest assured, Mr. Ye, I will definitely convey your instructions to the chairman."

Ye Xiao nodded slightly.

Afterwards, although the property manager was eager to get on Ye Xiao's good side, Ye Xiao merely responded with a smile and didn't further engage in conversation with the man.

Ye Xiao really didn't like those who were naturally prone to flattery and fawning.

In the late afternoon, the streets were much less crowded compared to peak hours, so it took less than half an hour for the car to reach the entrance of Minghai Academy.

Ye Xiao got out of the car and went straight towards Minghai Academy.

However, just as he had just walked into the entrance of Minghai Academy, suddenly, someone called out to him from behind.

"Boss."

Ye Xiao turned around. It was Zhou Hao calling him, accompanied by Zhao Dapeng and Zhang Biao.

Seeing these three, Ye Xiao immediately walked over with a smile.

"What are you guys doing here?" Ye Xiao asked with a smile.

Zhou Hao chuckled and said, "Since you all left, I had to find something to do, so I came to the Blue-tailed Fox Bar. I was looking to see if anyone was there, and sure enough, Dapeng and Zhang Biao were there. But, the bar wasn't open yet, no one was around, it was boring, so we stepped out. And then we saw you. By the way, why didn't you tell me about the fight today? I missed out on a good brawl."

Ye Xiao immediately smiled wryly. Zhou Hao really was always itching for a fight.

"This morning's business was just a small matter, but the next few days, Zhou Hao, you might need to spend more time at the Blue-tailed Fox Bar, there could be trouble brewing," said Ye Xiao with a smile.

Zhou Hao, Zhao Dapeng, and Zhang Biao all looked surprised when they heard Ye Xiao's words, especially Zhou Hao, who was very excited, "A fight?"

Ye Xiao said, "Not just a fight, there might even be a killing."

"Ah? Really? Who with?" Zhou Hao asked.

At that moment, Zhao Dapeng turned to Ye Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, I just got some news and haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Ye Xiao said, "What's up?"

"A local boss has gone missing," Zhao Dapeng said, looking at Ye Xiao.

"Does it have something to do with Feng Yongnian?" Ye Xiao immediately asked sharply.

"It should!"

Ye Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, "Looks like Minghai is about to be in turmoil; Heavenly Gate is looking for chaos."

Zhao Dapeng and Zhou Hao exchanged a glance.
