Chapter Eighty-two Unexpected Discovery

  "Really?"

  Tong Mai's heart was secretly screaming in Hester's voice, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

  All she saw was that the man was getting closer and closer to her, with a smile... an exceptionally eerie and terrifying smile. Tong Mai's original "hot blood boiling" had transformed into "ice and snow" in an instant, and the chill spread rapidly from her toes...

  She knew that Yin Yuqi was up to no good, so how good could the man she introduced be?

  Look at this guy... a damned fatty face, with flesh growing all over the place, a lewd and lustful look on his face, one glance and you can tell he's a typical sex wolf!

  Alright! Come on! She specializes in treating perverts!

  "Darling, I've kept you waiting for a long time, haven't I..." The man's mouth let out an extremely cold and menacing term of endearment.

  The goosebumps on Tong Mai's body fell to the ground, just as he was about to open his mouth to respond, a soft and sweet voice came from behind him, "No, dear, I just arrived too!"

  Leaning...

  It wasn't her he was smiling at, but the girl behind her. She had misunderstood and almost lost face!

  Tong Mai awkwardly patted his own chest, swallowed a mouthful of juice, and turned around to take a thorough look at the girl behind him. She didn't look bad, did she? Why would she choose such an unattractive guy? The two of them, one fat and one thin, formed a stark contrast, making for a completely mismatched pair.

  Forget it, this has nothing to do with her! In this world, there are many strange combinations, beauties paired with beasts, and one shouldn't be surprised.

  She glanced at the time, "What's wrong with this guy... doesn't he have any sense of time?" She wouldn't be so leisurely as to wait for him here.

  "Hey, is that person coming or not? I've been waiting here for a long time. If they're not coming, just tell me early so I don't waste my time." With a fiery temper, she dialed Yinyuqi's phone, her tone extremely unpleasant, as if at this moment, all the blame was being poured onto Yinyuqi's head.

  "Has Xian Ning not arrived yet?"

  Yin Yuqi was also surprised.

  "If he's coming, why would I call you? If he's not coming, just tell me. Auntie doesn't have the patience to wait here any longer." With a "click", she hung up the phone, her uniquely loud and resonant voice successfully drawing the attention of those around her.

  Looks like a gentle and quiet woman, but unexpectedly so rude...

  Feeling the gaze of people around her, Tong Mai's face also flushed slightly red with embarrassment, a wave of heat rushing over!

  What's so interesting? What's worth looking at?

  Tong Mai was already in a bad mood, and being stood up by Li Xian Ning was the last straw.

  "I'm telling you, wait for another ten minutes! If you're not here within ten minutes, even if you're a perfect man, the most handsome man in the world, I don't care." Tong Mai pointed to his wristwatch, his tone very firm.

  "Xian Ning, where are you? Why didn't you go see Xiao Mai? You had promised to do so earlier." Yin Yuqi had put a lot of thought into arranging the meeting between him and Tong Mai, but it seemed like fate was not on their side. The first time, Tong Mai was late, and this time Xian Ning was late instead. It was always so complicated and didn't go smoothly, as if heaven itself did not look favorably upon this pair of people...

  Li Xian Ning had originally agreed to Yu Yuqi, but after the fuss with "Quiet Quiet Just Fine" yesterday, he didn't have much mind to do other things, let alone blind dates!

  "I'm a bit busy... so I won't be able to make it... how about we reschedule for another day?"

  On the phone, Li Xianning's voice was hesitant and lacked confidence, his guilt could be heard.

  "If you were busy, why didn't you tell me earlier? Xian Ning... are you trying to avoid Xiao Mai on purpose and just making up an excuse?" Yun Yiqi keenly sensed.

  ……

  On the other end of the phone, Li Xian Ning was silent. His silence was equivalent to consent!

  "Xian Ning, I know, sorry, it was wrong of me to force you to see Xiao Mai. From now on, I won't mention this matter again! You go ahead and be busy." Forcing someone into something is useless, at this moment, Yin Yuqi finally had a deep understanding of this.

  Even if she tried her best to make them work together, both parties were so lazy and casual about it that no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

  Yu Qi, I'm the one who should be saying sorry! It's me who made things difficult for you. - Li Xian Ning apologized.

  Actually, no matter what, he should at least go and meet Tong Mai. However, with his current mood, he really isn't suitable to see anyone... He's worried that because of his inner emotions, going would only make things worse.

  Yin Yuqi hung up the phone, weighed down by her thoughts. Due to Li Xianning's absence, the slight improvement in her relationship with Tong Mai had once again fallen into a stalemate, and it was likely to be even more awkward than before. In Tong Mai's heart, he would think that everything she did was just hypocrisy, done on purpose.

  Yin Yuqi's eyebrows had already furrowed into a deep groove, originally she was going to the company to see Huo Yize, but now being disturbed by Tong Mai like this, she didn't have the mood.

  Huo Yize's eyes stared at the documents in front of him, but in reality, he was overjoyed and triumphant. He thought to himself... How could Lian Xian Ning possibly take a liking to Tong Mai? Isn't this just proof of his own speculation? Most importantly, Lian Xian Ning didn't even bother to meet with her, which showed that he looked down on Tong Mai. From another perspective, he simply wasn't the least bit interested in anything about Tong Mai!

  How to say?

  Apart from hearing other men show no interest in Tong Mai, he was actually so happy that the corners of his lips involuntarily curled up into a handsome smile...

  "I have something on, I'll leave first, let's make another appointment another day." Yín Yǔqí is now in a hurry to go and explain things to Tóng Mài.

  "Yuqi, do you have to go through all this trouble for Tong Mai's sake? Do you think it's worth it?" Huo Yize's low voice echoed in his mind. In his consciousness, he didn't want Yuqi to introduce men to Tong Mai again at all. This strange emotion, he deliberately ignored and didn't try to explain or even evade it.

  It's not worth it! After all, Tong Mai never accepted her feelings, but no matter what, she just wanted to do her best.

  "Let's talk again later, I'm leaving first..."

  Yin Yuqi didn't respond and hastily waved goodbye.

  Since Tong Mai came back, her life was also messed up by him, but since she had already taken charge of his affairs, she could only see it through to the end.

  Huo Yize gazed at the back of Yin Yuqi, who was hastily turning to leave, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, his emotions complex and indescribable!

  "Knock...knock..." The knocking sound echoed.

  "Come in."

  As soon as Hou Yize's thick voice sounded, Ding Haoyue pushed the door and entered, "Yuqi, how could you leave just after arriving? Did you two have a fight?" He carefully probed Hou Yize.

  After all, his "car shaking incident" was a big deal, Yin Yuqi couldn't have been unaware of it.

  "Do we look like we're arguing?" he asked, closing the file.

  Ding Hao shrugged, "You should ask yourself that! However, it seems you two don't seem like it." Yin Yuqi left without showing any anger. "You're lucky to have a fiancée who understands and is reasonable. If it were someone else, after seeing the news report about you, they would probably make a big fuss and be impossible to deal with. But she didn't even get angry...it's a bit disappointing."

  "So you're saying... you want Yuqi to keep pestering me and not let me off the hook, huh?" That damned friend, Huo Yize's elegant face revealed a cold, sharp glint.

  However, thinking carefully, Yin Yuqi is indeed a rare and precious woman. This point, no matter how many distracting thoughts are in Huo Yize's heart now, will not deny the goodness of Yin Yuqi in his heart.

  It's precisely because of her perfection in every aspect that he has determined she is his ideal wife no matter what.

  "That's not it! I'm just worried about Yuqi. Let you off this time, but next time, your news will come one after another..." Ding Haokui teased him fearlessly.

  All he saw was that Huo Yize's face became increasingly gloomy, and he glared at Ding Haoran, "You came in just to humiliate me?" He didn't like the feeling of being humiliated by others, even if it was a good friend.

  "No, no, no... Of course not! I have more important things to report to you..."

  Ding Haowei said as he took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Huo Yize.

  Huo Yize stared at the check, his face suddenly changing. Wasn't this the 10 million check he gave to Tong Mai? Why was it in Ding Haowen's hands? Ding Haowen also noticed Huo Yize's expression and indeed, it was the check he issued.

  "What's going on?" He also felt extremely surprised now.

  "What's going on, you'd better ask yourself! Now I finally understand why Elisa's house is so hard to demolish! It turns out that you are the one who has been sabotaging the project by moving stones to block your own way! Clearly, you don't want the construction to continue."

  The land of Elisa's home is a project that Huo Yize wants to invest in this quarter, and the people around have moved away one after another. Only this family has been slow to move, always finding excuses to delay moving out. On the last day of the deadline, the head of Elisa's house actually took out 10 million yuan to exchange for this place and refused to leave.

  "What? Speak clearly! What does this have to do with the nail household of Elisa's home?"

  At this time, Huo Yize was even more confused.

  Ding Haowei let out a cold snort, thinking that Huo Yize was intentionally pretending to be stupid. "This check is from the head of the Elyse family's household, and she's using this 10 million to exchange for this piece of land! And this check was written by you, you wouldn't have any ambiguous connections with the people from the Elyse family... would you?"

  This idea easily formed in Ding Haowei's mind.

  This project has always been followed up by Ding Haowei, and Huo Yize doesn't even know anyone from Alisha's House. Is this check given to Alisha's House by Tong Mai?

  He still clearly remembered her saying that the 10 million had been spent... Now, another 10 million had fallen into his hands, obviously not what she had said...
