Twenty years ago, she broke ties with the Ding family and left the country. Five years ago, her husband betrayed her and her family and lover abandoned her. She lost all hope in life and chose to commit suicide. He Jingxing was the one who saved her, nurtured her, trusted her, and allowed her to find her worth in her work.
She was grateful to him, so no matter what it was, as long as he wanted to do it, she would help him.
"Mr. He, revenge is a dish best served cold."
He Jingxing paused in the middle of smoking. He looked up and his cold gaze landed on Ding Han's face.
Ding Han hurriedly lowered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have guessed what you're thinking."
He Jingxing took a drag on his cigarette. The coldness in his eyes disappeared and replaced it with a warm smile. "Huo Yanqing used to be a member of the Chinese special forces. You know about my background. He once went to America for a mission and had some grudges with me."
Ding Han didn't expect He Jingxing to explain things to her, so she was a little surprised. Although He Jingxing appeared to be a cultured and refined gentleman, Ding Han knew he had a bad temper and could even be described as temperamental. Perhaps it was because he used to be in the underworld, but he had a dark and chilling aura about him. Even though she had worked for him for five years, she still couldn't figure out his temper and couldn't guess what he was thinking.
There were some things that she would listen to when he said them, but she would never ask if he didn't say them.
He Jingxing blew out a smoke ring. "Do you know why I brought you back to China?"
"I don't know."
"On one hand, you're capable. On the other hand..." He Jingxing looked up and his gaze landed on Ding Han's beautiful features. He stared at her for a while before he said, "You look a lot like Huo Yanqing's sister-in-law. His sister-in-law died in a plane crash five years ago, but her body has never been found. They've always harbored a glimmer of hope that she might still be alive."
Ding Han had more or less guessed this from the day she called for her mother when Lin Yiqian followed her in Huo Jibai.
He Jingxing just said that he had a grudge with Huo Yanqing, and now he was talking about this. Ding Han guessed that He Jingxing wanted her to use her appearance to do something for him. "My life was saved by Mr. He. If Mr. He needs anything, please let me know. I'll do my best to accomplish it."
He Jingxing's handsome face was tinged with a smile. "I'm meeting with the old lady in the Family Huo. I'll let you know when the time is right."
"Alright."
He Jingxing stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and got up. "Rest early."
Ding Han walked He Jingxing to the door. At the door, He Jingxing turned around and asked, "How's the progress of the villa?"
"I've been working on it. I didn't stop even during the New Year."
"Okay, call me if you need to contact Shuxin about the villa in the future."
"Alright."

Shen Tingxi grabbed a bottle of premium red wine from the wine cabinet and opened it. He took two wine glasses and sat down on the sofa. He poured two glasses of red wine and handed one glass to Huo Yanqing. "Why are you here tonight instead of accompanying your wife? Did you have a fight? "
Huo Yanqing took the red wine and glanced at Shen Tingxi unhappily. "Xin'er and I don't fight. You, on the other hand, look like you got dumped by your girlfriend."
Shen Tingxi downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp. He poured himself another glass, but this time, he wasn't in a hurry to drink it. He swirled the glass in his hand and fiddled with it. "I almost got dumped."
"What happened?" Huo Yanqing took a gentle sip of red wine. His movements were elegant, and he exuded a low-key quality.
