She kept calling him Third Master, and she kept saying don’t bother “my family”. Her eyes were much colder, looking at him as if he was worse than a stranger. There was no trace of their past friendship in her eyes. There was only cold, rejection, avoidance…
Third Master Hou’s heart broke like shattered ice. His heart should have been warm, but it was so cold now, “Yiwei, do we really have to be like this?”
“Third Master Hou, what’s in the past should be left in the past. Now you have your life and I have my life, so we need to have a clear distinction.” As the secretary of the governor of the Yunnan Province, how could Xia Yiwei be competent without courage?
She took his words indifferently; her tone didn’t even fluctuate. Hou Zi, who was more gorgeous than a woman, held his temper back so much that blue veins were seen popping on his forehead. Xia Yiwei looked at him with her cold eyes. He was angry. He was furious!
She hadn’t made him angry before. She had always been a virtuous and generous girlfriend. She didn’t expect that after the breakup, she would piss off the famous Third Master Hou. This was such a mockery!
Hou Zi saw that her eyes were cold, a bit of sadness aroused in his anger. Truthfully, he really had to bear a lot of responsibility for causing their relationship to come to this point. He patiently said: “I need to ask Sixth Brother’s girlfriend if she has any resentment or enmity with Ye Zhifan, and at the same time, I also want to ask her if she has offended anyone recently.”
“Since you want me to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so that it will not affect your family, you must let me investigate.”
He had a good reason. Xia Yiwei had no way to refuse him from going into the school with her.
So when Ye Jian saw the two of them sitting on the same stone bench by the Swan Lake, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Captain Xia said that Sister Xia seemed really determined not to be with Hou Zi anymore. How come both of them were here to look for her now?
“Jian’er, come here.” Xia Yiwei had already seen Ye Jian. She gracefully stood up and waved to her. In contrast, Hou Zi’s reaction was a bit slower. His attention was on the woman he loved, so he didn’t pay attention to his surroundings.
Yunnan Province had entered summer. In the afternoon, the leaves of the trees were curled up in the sun. Xia Yiwei, who was wearing a professional suit, did not sweat at all, and her makeup was clean, she did not feel hot at all.
With a serious expression, she calmly said: “…You haven’t heard it yet, this means either the school still doesn’t know about it, or the school knows about it but doesn’t believe it.”
Me…? Having an affair with…Hou Zi? On the surface, Ye Jian was a little bit embarrassed, but in her heart, she thought…. Of all things, they spread rumors that she was having an affair with Hou Zi…?
“Sixth Brother reminded me about something. He said that this matter probably has something to do with Ye Zhifan, so today I want to ask if you suspect anyone else?”
Hou Zi spoke: “I thought that someone was targeting me, but it doesn’t seem to be the case now. If someone really wants to target me, Ye Jian, I can tell you very seriously, that they wouldn’t just simply spread rumours.”
He had too many enemies, and they were all cruel people. If they were really targeting him, they wouldn’t just spread rumours.
Ye Jian smiled and said, “I don’t think they’re targeting you, Brother Zi. I’m afraid that they really are targeting me. As for who I suspect…” After a slight pause, her dark and bright eyes looked at Hou Zi, “Brother Zi, do you know a man named Sun Yaozu?”
