Xiao Zheng sat dazed on his chair, not saying a word. But he felt helpless.
He could feel the affection from Shang Yao's words and actions. But sometimes, wasn't it just like Shang Yao's own choice?
She chose Xue Kaiyang, whom no one had high hopes for. Because she wanted to escape the trap set up by Bai clan and Shang clan.
She should have found a strong backer for Yan clan. But Shang clan and Bai clan did not allow her to do so. So, she was forced to choose Xue clan, which could not provide much help to Yan clan. A small clan that was still far from being a top clan.
To Yan clan, this was definitely not the best choice.
But it was Shang Yao's best choice.
Only this way, she could control Yan clan from top to bottom. Even Shang Jingtian would not be able to shake her position in Yan clan.
"Miss Shang is wrong." Xiao Zheng sighed, showing a helpless expression.
"Boss Xiao, should I call you a hypocrite, or a coward?" Shang Yao stared at Xiao Zheng calmly as she asked. "Does Lin Huayin not know about the women around you? Not a single one? "
Xiao Zheng regained his composure, pursing his lips: "Miss Shang, what do you want to say?"
"Is it too much to have one more?" Shang Yao questioned.
Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly.
But very quickly, he met Shang Yao's gaze, saying word by word: "Miss Shang. I don't mind telling you the truth. I don't know how much Old Lin knows, nor do I dare to ask. "
"Similarly, I don't know how much you know either."
"But I can promise you one thing."
"If they were like you, and pushed me into a dilemma, or even made Old Lin unable to bear it and hurt her. Maybe I would be more relaxed now. "
Xiao Zheng's words were very clear, his meaning was also very clear.
Shang Yao had done too many embarrassing things.
She used an extremely rash method to involve Xiao Zheng in the family dispute, and even made it known to the entire city.
At the birthday banquet that night, even if Old Lin didn't appear, even if Shang Yao didn't say anything in order to stabilize the situation, Xiao Zheng would definitely express his stance.
This was his bottom line.
In terms of relationships, he was indeed not a decisive person. However, Old Lin's position in his heart was irreplaceable. Xiao Zheng couldn't accept anyone doing something that made Elder Lin unhappy.
Just as he had said, if Blue Heart and the others had acted like Shang Yao from the start and destroyed his relationship with Old Lin without any regard for the consequences … He didn't have to be so careful.
It was precisely because these women were considerate, intelligent, sensible, and even blindly accommodating that Xiao Zheng could not bear to do it.
Heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Xiao Zheng admitted that he was not Liu Xiahui. In the face of such a loving and righteous beauty, he could not remain calm. However, he was not so arrogant that he would disregard everything. It even affected Old Lin.
From a certain point of view, Shang Yao had touched Xiao Zheng's bottom line.
After hearing Xiao Zheng's explanation, Shang Yao's expression changed slightly. Her beautiful eyes also flashed with a strange light.
She seemed to understand Xiao Zheng's state of mind.
Conflict, dilemma, and even struggle.
Her actions were like a dagger that ruthlessly stabbed into Xiao Zheng's heart.
"I understand," Shang Yao lightly nodded, a pained smile on her face. "Perhaps I offended you. Or perhaps I offended your wife. "
After pausing, Shang Yao slowly raised her head and stared at Xiao Zheng, "Apart from her, am I worse than anyone else?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng raised his wine cup and took a sip, not replying.
Kacha.
At that moment, the door was pushed open by Xue Kaiyang.
Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to be talking, he took the initiative to raise his cup as punishment. It livened up the atmosphere. But it didn't take long for the meal to be tasteless.
"Thank you for your hospitality," Xiao Zheng stood up and said with a smile.
"Boss Xiao, you're too kind," Xue Kaiyang said solemnly. "It's only right that you come."
After some polite greetings, Xiao Zheng waved his hand and left the room. The two of them walked him to the door, then turned back.
"Yao Yao."
When walking back to the table, Xue Kaiyang took the initiative to hold Shang Yao's arm. But as soon as they touched, Shang Yao felt as if she was electrocuted. She suddenly flung it away, turned around and said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"I —" Xue Kaiyang was slightly stunned and hesitated. "I just want to hold your hand for a while."
"I will only warn you once. From now on, even in front of outsiders. Don't touch me, "Shang Yao said in a low voice.
Xue Kaiyang's face was slightly pale. His rather handsome face was filled with intense pain. "What are we doing?"
"I'm helping you! I'm helping your Xue family! "Shang Yao said word by word. "From now on, you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't bring it home, I won't ask."
"Then —" Xue Kaiyang wanted to say more, but he heard Shang Yao said impatiently. "Why do you have so many questions? If you don't want to, you're welcome to ask for a divorce at any time! "
Talking to someone who didn't feel anything, even one more word was a kind of torture.
But with Xiao Zheng, even if she didn't say a word, she could still sit for a night.
Shang Yao didn't know when she started to have a good impression of Xiao Zheng. In fact, they were hostile from the beginning. She was also very clear about Xiao Zheng's identity. He was Lin Huayin's man.
Lin Huayin's man. Who could take him away?
Shang Yao admitted that she didn't have the ability.
But perhaps the more unattainable it was, the more attractive it was to women. Xiao Zheng gradually entered her heart.
His strength, his wisdom, his composure, his excellence. All of them attracted Shang Yao, and all of them made Shang Yao look at him in a different light.
They had a honeymoon period.
During that period, Shang Yao was in a good mood and worked exceptionally hard.
He could see Xiao Zheng at any time, and they could chat for the whole afternoon. Even though they only talked about work and some schemes that made one's scalp tingle. But from Shang Yao's point of view, this kind of life was really fulfilling and interesting.
But now, she gradually drifted away from him. There was no longer any interaction between them. Instead, he treated her coldly.
He said that she ruined his life. And offended him, and his wife.
He also said that this was something that he couldn't tolerate and would never allow to happen.
At that moment, he was very domineering and unreasonable.
But for some reason, even so, Shang Yao still couldn't let it go, couldn't forget.
"Some sweethearts can be substituted. But there are some men who are unique. You can't find a second one even if you search the whole country. "
Shang Yao muttered to herself, using a voice that only she could hear: "This kind of man, is often loved and hated."
"Xiao Zheng, I hate you."
But she hated Bai Wushuang even more.
It was this young man who ruined her honeymoon period with Xiao Zheng.
Shang Yao's eyes gradually became cold, becoming incomparably sinister!
