Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Because I Haven’t Won Her Over Yet
Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Zixi returned to the dormitory and the first thing she did was take out the items from her bag. She checked that everything important was still there before feeling relieved.
Thankfully, she had brought her bag with her when she left the Su Family’s house this morning, so all her important documents were inside.
She took out her wallet and found only a few small bills, causing a trace of worry to appear on her face.
Although the Su Family wasn’t extraordinarily wealthy, they were still well-off. However, Su Zixi had never exhibited even the slightest bit of a wealthy girl’s demeanor.
Since she started college, she had been busy taking care of Ning Yichen, and any living expenses, scholarship money, and earnings from part-time jobs all went towards Ning Yichen’s medical expenses. As a result, she had no savings at all.
Now that she had completely severed ties with Su Guo’an, he was unlikely to give her any more living expenses.
With just one month before next year’s tuition was due, she had to quickly earn at least ten thousand yuan.
Su Zixi sighed deeply. It seemed she would have to resume her old job. Ever since Ning Yichen had woken up, she had paused all her work, but she found herself in financial crisis again so soon.
She took out her phone and called the manager of Four Seasons Bar.
*********
That night, at Four Seasons Bar.
He Jingyao walked in through a special passage and headed straight to the third floor.
This floor had only one private room.
He pushed the door open, and amidst the cheers of “Yo-ho!” confetti showered his face.
He Jingyao’s expression immediately darkened. He squinted at Huo Yanhui, who was cheering the loudest.
“Our Master He is here!” Huo Yanhui exaggeratedly shouted, “Congratulations to Master He for losing his virginity! Everyone, applause!”
He Jingyao raised the corners of his mouth, walked up to Huo Yanhui, and threw him onto the sofa with an over-the-shoulder throw. With a slight bend of his knee, he threateningly approached a certain part of Huo Yanhui’s body and smiled, “What did you just say?”
“Master, I was wrong! Please, Master!” Huo Yanhui quickly begged for mercy, “My family still needs me to carry on the family name! One misstep from you, and our Huo Family will have no descendants!”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yanzhao, who was watching the fun, also glared at him displeased and said in a deep voice, “Oh, really?”
Huo Yanhui immediately realized he had said the wrong thing and grimaced, “Bro, my dear brother, not only are you not saving your little brother, but you’re also tearing me down.”
Huo Yanzhao took a sip of his cocktail, his handsome face expressionless, and spat out two words, “Serves you right.”
Huo Yanhui rolled his eyes in exasperation.
Yun Shenhan shook his head helplessly and said, “Jingyao, let him go.”
He Jingyao then let go of him and gave him a meaningful look, “This time, I’m letting you off because of Shenhan. Next time…”
Huo Yanhui lay on the sofa pretending to be dead.
Yun Shenhan chuckled and glanced at He Jingyao, “We heard from Yanhui, is it true that you’re cured?”
He Jingyao picked up a glass of wine and said blandly, “No, it’s just that I’m immune to that particular woman.”
Huo Yanzhao raised an eyebrow, “That’s still good news, at least now you can finally interact with women.”
“Your mom must be eager for you to marry her, right?” Yun Shenhan asked.
“My mom doesn’t know yet,” He Jingyao snorted lightly, “Even if I could never be with women, it doesn’t mean I’d be interested in just any female.”
“Oh? Does that mean she’s older or not attractive?” Huo Yanzhao speculated.
“No, no, I can testify,” Huo Yanhui finally couldn’t hold back, “I saw her with my own eyes, a young girl around twenty years old, and her looks and figure are top-notch, absolutely stunning!”
Hearing Huo Yanhui’s words, the other two became interested. Yun Shenhan remarked regretfully, “Why didn’t you bring her along to meet us? Because of your condition, we never dared to bring female companions to our gatherings. Even Xuefei couldn’t join.”
“No, trust me,” mentioning Yun Xuefei, Huo Yanzhao’s expression suddenly softened, “she said she has no interest in our gatherings at all.”
Yun Xuefei was Yun Shenhan’s younger sister and Huo Yanzhao’s newlywed wife.
“Alright.” Thinking of his sister’s temperament, Yun Shenhan had to agree. He looked at He Jingyao again, “Where is she? I’ll have someone bring her over!”
“I’ll be the driver!” Huo Yanhui volunteered.
“No,” He Jingyao took a sip of wine and refused without hesitation.
The others were quite displeased.
“Jingyao, I understand how you feel,” Huo Yanzhao said in an experienced tone, “I also didn’t want to bring Xuefei to gatherings, to prevent others from commenting on her. But we’ve been brothers for so many years, and we’re just happy for you. If you insist on not letting us see her, we’ll find a way on our own.”
He Jingyao glanced at them, put down his glass, and expressionlessly said, “Because I haven’t won her over yet.”
