Chapter 266 - 266 Confrontation: Meeting

"Zhi, come on. They're already gone. Let's go." Elise called out again after noticing Zhihuan still glaring at the direction October and Lexus went. Even though the two were already out of sight, Zhihuan still stayed still, as if waiting for that same girl, woman to walk back to him. He was still hoping for her to look back at him…but she didn't.

'This horrible feeling…why am I having this?' Zhihuan's mind was sinking deeper and deeper, his brows knitted tightly. 

"Fck!" He hissed. He ruffled his hair messily, showing his frustration. 

"Is it over?"

"What kind of turn of events is this? It turned out that he has a girlfriend but he acted as if that woman was having an affair with that man in a suit. Tch." Someone snickered at the back of Elise.

Voices of different opinion, with some pointing unabashedly at Zhihuan, sounded. It surrounded both Elise and Zhihuan. Elise did not like this situation at all. Aside from the humiliation she was having, they were even pointing and talking bad about Zhihuan. It totally did not sit well for her. 

"What are you looking at? Scram!" She warned the people around them before turning her attention back to Zhihuan. 

With no other choice left, she pulled Zhihuan to get out of here before some paparazzi can take a sneak photo which might affect her boyfriend's career, worst ruin his career. That will make all of Zhihuan's efforts be for naught. 

Good thing that Zhihuan was still in a daze. Elise did not have any trouble dragging him away from the crowd, out of their horrible and mocking eyes. 

They had already arrived at the parking lot where Elise's car was parked before Zhihuan had finally snapped out of his shock. 

"Lis, tell me, how did you know Lanna?" Zhihuan hissed while harshly pulling his hand from Elise making her stagger and lose her footing. 

Elise's eyes flickered an emotion so fleeting that Zhihuan did not notice, lips tight into a fine line. After a few seconds, she opened her mouth, "What are you talking about?"

She shifted her weight and did not look at Zhihuan straight in the eyes, afraid that he will see the uneasiness she was feeling under his suspicious eyes. 

'No. I am not at fault. I am just doing this for my and Zhi's happiness. October already has hers. Why can't I have mine? What's wrong with that?' 

"You know what I am talking about. Look at me, Lis. Do you know her? How long?" This time, Zhihuan had already lost his cool and grabbed Elise's shoulders so tight that she winced in pain. However, he did not care. All he wanted was answers! Just answers, damn it!

"Ow! Zhi, you're hurting me! Let go. Ow!" She tried to shake his hands off her but to no avail. Her eyes turned misty as she looked at Zhihuan with pleading eyes but all she could see was a fierce and obsessed look, eyes almost bloodshot. It was terrifying. 

'Zhi had never acted like this before. He was always a gentleman, cared for me and treat me like I'm his queen. But now…' Elise felt like her heart was broken into million pieces. It was painful. 

The tear that she threatening to drop finally fell. She could no longer hold it back. Her eyes showed her pain, jealousy, guilt…

'Did I do something wrong? Was this all worth it? The feeling I am feeling now, is this my reward? Ha! Reward? This is punishment, my retribution.' Elise bit her lip as she silently cried. The pain on her shoulders does not compare to the pain she was having in her heart.

At the same time, in the topmost floor of Halo Company, Peizhi slammed his phone on the floor. It was so hard that his phone instantly broke into pieces, flying in all directions. He then swept his hands over his table and another series of crash was heard. 

'This is not happening! Why can't I borrow some money from the bank? Are they looking down on me?! Do I look like someone who can't pay the loaned money? Ridiculous!' Peizhi's face twisted in anger as he whizzed heavily in fury. 

He had also contacted some of his friends and business partners but they all coldly turned their backs on him, saying that they were also not doing good with their business. 

"What kind of bllsht is that?!" 

There are a lot of excuses they can make but that kind of excuse was so obvious that he felt like his teeth will break as she gritted his teeth. His face was red and eyes full of coldness and anger. 

"What?"

His secretary came in, slightly bowing his head, saying, "President, your wife is here to see you." 

'What is she doing here?' Peizhi frowned, not at all in the mood to see his wife.

Without waiting for Peizhi to answer, a young woman in a turtle neck dress fitting her body so well that the curves were showed at the right places and a side slit that showed her flawless and pale legs came into his room with a sweet and gentle smile on her face. 

"Husband." She called walking happily toward Peizhi. The door behind her closed.

"Why are you here?" He asked, frowning.

Fu Yung paused for split second, not liking his tone he just used to her, before continuing to walk toward Peizhi with a sweet smile and affectionate eyes. As soon as she arrived in front of Peizhi, she immediately wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned her head on his c.h.e.s.t.

"I missed you. You've been so busy lately that you barely see me and your son. I'm feeling lonely ah." Fu Yung pouted, feeling so aggrieved. Her fine brows slightly furrowed as her eyes turned misty while looking at Peizhi.

Peizhi felt like his heart was stabbed when he saw her sad face. He was just too occupied these days that he had neglected her. He forgot to shower her with affections. 

Sighing, he hugged the little woman in his arms, feeling guilty. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. A lot of things just happened."

As the two were still having their sweet moment, it was interrupted by a sudden opening of the door. His secretary had barged in without any sound.

Peizhi's face sank as he glared at this secretary. But looking at his face, he looked confused and panicked. 

"What happened?" He asked, face turning grim and serious. 

"President, some unknown people had ah—" The secretary was cut off as he got shoved away by a bodyguard. After that, a number of bodyguards in black suit came in in an orderly manner. 

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Peizhi snapped. "Who allowed you to enter?"

A loud and throaty laugh was heard. It was a laugh full of humor as if the person who was laughing had heard the funniest joke he had ever heard. Well, maybe it was. 

"Who?" 

Peizhi's eyes instantly landed on the old man in a white suit. He very much stood out as he was the only one who was wearing white at the center of a black suit. 

It did not take long for Peizhi to recognize the old man before him. Although he was boiling in hatred inside, he still showed a professional smile, seemingly showing his respect.

"Master He." He said, letting go Fu Yung and adjusted his suit.

But what he got was a sneer and a look of disgust…and hate. No, it was more of gaze full of thirst for murder. Peizhi could not help but tremble in fear. 

Grandpa He looked at Peizhi from top to bottom. His brows tightened even more before cl.i.c.k.i.n.g his tongue. Without giving Peizhi another glance, he strode in as if he owned the place and sat comfortably on one corner of the sofa. 

It was not known when and where they got the tea, but Assistant Ke was already pouring black tea in a tea cup and respectfully served it to Grandpa He. 

Their actions were so smooth and fluid that no one was able to stop their actions. 

Grandpa He leisurely smelled his tea before taking a sip. Then, he put it down on the table and crossed his legs, handing his walking stick to Assistant Ke. He searched for a comfortable spot in his seat before turning coldly to Peizhi who had literally turned stiff, awkward, and lost. He felt like this office was not his, but Grandpa He's.
