Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Truly Touching
Su Zixi had only now understood what exactly had happened yesterday, and her heart was greatly shaken.
eting He Jingyao’s tender and affectionate gaze, she felt her heart soften and responded with a sweet smile.
Even Ye Shutong, who was exceptionally astute, was heavily affected upon witnessing this scene.
Clenching her cup tightly, she took a mont before smiling and said, “That’s truly touching. However, this ans that the He Family will likely find it difficult to get involved in the new energy project, after all… Young Master He, your actions may be deed irrational by my uncle.”
“I regret that,” He Jingyao said with a slight smile. “But Miss Ye, perhaps you forgot that I had already ntioned back in Yanzhou City that the He Family has limited financial resources and had never planned to get involved in this project.”
Ye Shutong pursed her lips, her expression instantly becoming restrained.
Indeed, He Jingyao had said that, but… that was rely his claim. HI Corporation was clearly determined to secure the project, sothing Ye Shutong was very sure about, which was why she had orchestrated last night’s events.
Yet He Jingyao had clearly ignored it and even reused his initial refusal as a reason, which was undoubtedly a slap in her face.
Ye Shutong took a deep breath before she smiled and said, “Yes, I almost forgot. Then I don’t need to worry anymore.”
“Anyhow, thank you for your kindness, Miss Ye,” He Jingyao said nonchalantly.
“No need,” Ye Shutong managed to say these two words, paused, and then, smiling, she produced an invitation, “By the way, there’s a banquet at the President Mansion in a few days. If Young Master He is interested, you could attend with the Young Mistress.”
After speaking, she smiled and nodded at the two of them before taking her leave.
After Ye Shutong turned and left, Huo Yanhui also happened to co downstairs.
He casually waved at them as a goodbye and then followed Ye Shutong out without looking back.
It seed Huo Yanhui had known about Ye Shutong’s arrival all along…
As the two figures disappeared from the doorway, Su Zixi reached out and embraced the man next to her, her voice slightly choked, “Jingyao, it really didn’t matter if you didn’t co last night…”
She knew he had only co to prevent her from being disappointed, but he had severely offended the President…
It just wasn’t worth it.
He Jingyao pinched her cheek, smiling but not quite, “Su Zixi, you think too much.”
She was montarily stunned before looking up at him.
“I refused her kindness simply because I detest others making decisions for ,” the man said indifferently. “She thought by doing so, I would be forced to accept her kindness. Do you think I am the kind of person who enjoys being manipulated?”
Su Zixi shook her head. Of course not. He had always been the one who manipulated others!
“That’s right,” He Jingyao said with a crooked smile. “So, I would have left no matter what.”
Su Zixi blinked, “You an, it had nothing to do with … You just told Ye Shutong that it was because you didn’t want to disappoint …”
“Did you not see I was only putting on a show in front of her to make her give up?” he raised an eyebrow, “However, if you really want to think that way, I won’t deny it.”
Su Zixi suddenly felt that her emotions a mont ago were rather foolish…
She said in frustration, “Can’t you just comfort with sweet words?”
“I once told you sothing, do you rember?” the man asked seriously as he looked at her.
Su Zixi thought about it and shook her head.
He had said so many things to her, how could she know which one he was referring to?
