“Miss Xue is here for…” Huo Jingtang asked.
“I just want to ask him for details about Mr. Ye.” Xue Yating said, revealing her motive.
“Mr. Ye?”
“Right! The man that played a song with Huo Yunshen at your grandpa’s birthday dinner, Ye Xun.”
Huo Jingtang remembered who she was interested in, but he got a bit embarra.s.sed.
Such an outstanding and handsome man as he hadn’t managed to attract Xue Yating’s attention. Yet she was interested in Jing Xi, who had dressed up as a man?
If that was the case, Huo Jingtang did not find Jing Xi to be a threat to him. He laughed, “Miss Xue, I have to advise you to give up early. It’s impossible that it would work out between you and Ye Xun.”
Xue Yating was not dumb, she could hear the selfishness in his words. She sulked and said, “Who do you think you are, Mr. Huo? What happens between Ye Xun and me has nothing to do with an outsider like you! I’ll just say it upfront. The person I want to meet is Huo Yunshen and the person I want to know is Ye Xun. Even if it’s impossible between Ye Xun and Me, I would never fall for you either.”
Xue Yating stood up and left her seat. She walked away and stopped to turn back, mocking him further.
“Oh! I remember now! Your mother used to be a mistress and only got officialized later. Even though you’re the eldest grandson of the Huo family, you are not legitimate. While Huo Yunshen may have been paralyzed, he is still superior to you in many ways. I have to advise you, too: stop having other thoughts!”
Huo Jingtang: “…”
Xue Yating’s words were like daggers stabbing his heart, seriously damaging his self-esteem.
Precisely because his mother used to be the mistress of his father. and they only got married later, he was not valued even as the eldest grandson of the Huo family.
It was a thorn in his heart that could not be removed. Now, Xue Yating even rubbed salt into his wound.
He was full of hate…He hated himself for not having the ident.i.ty of the legitimate grandson like Huo Yunshen. He hated his lowly background. He hated being mocked and being compared to others.
Huo Jingtang had always been narrow-minded and ruthless. He held his fists tight and tried to tolerate the feelings, but hatred grew in his heart.
What a simpleminded Xue Yating! I, Huo Jingtang, will remember the humiliation you gave me and pay it back one day!
Xue Yating was not afraid of offending anyone, she left her words and was about to leave.
Coincidentally, she caught a glimpse of someone entering the restaurant. It was Ye Xun, the man that she was seeking.
Xue Yating happily walked towards Ye Xun. Huo Jingtang watched her as she walked towards the door and he saw something surprising.
Through the door of the restaurant came four people, one man and three women. Huo Jingtang recognized Xiao Yuqian, the renowned manager that had recently returned to join Jingyue Entertainment.
He did not recognize the other two women, but he knew who the other man was. A silver haired man, isn’t that Jing XI?
Huo Jingtang’s eyes sparkled with interest. He couldn’t wait to see what Jing Xi was up to today.
Huo Sanyan, who was outside of the restaurant, was on the phone with Huo Yunshen while she kept watch of Xue Yating with a pair of binoculars. She saw Xue Yating walking towards the restaurant door and knew that things had not gone smoothly between her and Huo Jingtang.
But when she saw Xue Yating stop the silver haired Ye Xun, she got excited. “Yunshen, I saw Ye Xun! He’s at the restaurant, too! And Xue Yating is pestering my prince charming! I shall not talk to you anymore! Goodbye!”
