Chapter 684: Breaking Bagua News
Zhao Yuhua nodded slightly without saying anything else and turned her head away, continuing to lower her head. It was unclear whether she was looking at the book on the desk or resting with her eyes closed.
Watching Zhao Yuhua’s face turn away, Xiao Yi finally regained so capacity for thought and reaction, and his expression returned to normal. Yet, the recovered Xiao Yi couldn’t help wishing to slap himself, feeling that his performance just now was rather poor.
She had rely greeted him; wasn’t that a simple matter? What was there for him to be so startled about?
Even if Zhao Yuhua was always distant and indifferent, he had just done her a big favor. A greeting was more than natural—it wouldn’t be nice to remain cold and indifferent, would it? That would seem sowhat ungrateful.
However, what was done was done, and regret was not an option in this world. After silently cursing himself, Xiao Yi sheepishly turned his head back, opened his textbook, and pretended to concentrate on the class.
Fatty Tang, who had just reached the classroom door, witnessed the scene from afar and felt like a reincarnation of Hols, certain of his earlier speculation: Xiao Yi was in a bad mood today, definitely because yesterday’s date didn’t go well; at the sa ti, a sense of responsibility arose within him.
His own relationship with Li Ling had flourished, owing much to the boss’s help, and now that the boss’s love life was in crisis, it was his duty as a subordinate to lend a hand no matter what.
Carrying this heavy responsibility, Fatty Tang sat down next to Xiao Yi and glanced between Zhao Yuhua and Xiao Yi. He soon realized that being a good person, a benefactor, was not an easy feat.
To resolve their emotional issues, he needed to understand the core of their problems before he could step in. Otherwise, even a world-class relationship expert would be helpless.
Yet, he realized that thinking Xiao Yi was cat-like was a huge mistake. He wasn’t cat-like but covered in spikes. Though both were furry, the texture of their fur was vastly different: a cat’s fur is soft and comforting, while spikes only hurt and draw blood.
To avoid getting hurt, he could only observe from a distance, not get close, and definitely not toy with him.
As for Zhao Yuhua, she was made of ice—just one look at her would make anyone feel cold all over. Better to stay as far away as possible.
So his good intentions and grand ambitions vanished without a trace within a few short minutes.
Xiao Yi was unaware that soone nearby had had the good intention to save their relationship. He only thought about how to regain his previous inspiration. Setting the book down to pretend to read intently, he propped up his head with both hands and started to rethink his previous problems.
Regrettably, the past inspiration was like a fleeting blossoming, which once missed did not wait. No matter how hard he tried, the problem seed to loop back with each round of thought, eventually hitting a dead end, devoid of any breakthrough.
This is absolutely ridiculous, I don’t believe I can’t find the loophole. In any case, this case must be cracked, and I will crack it!
The more Xiao Yi struggled to find a clue, the more furious he beca, vowing to figure this problem out.
"Boss, boss, breaking news, absolutely huge news!"
Just as Xiao Yi’s thoughts hit another dead end, feeling incredibly frustrated and annoyed, Fatty Tang’s voice rose again, filled with imnse excitent, as he also nudged Xiao Yi’s arm twice.
"If you don’t give a good reason, you’re going to suffer."
Xiao Yi was already annoyed enough, and upon hearing Fatty Tang’s words, he imdiately turned his head and glared at him without any courtesy.
"Boss...breaking news...I promise, after you hear this, you’ll definitely feel much better!"
Fatty Tang faltered for a mont at the terrifying look on Xiao Yi’s face, then rembering sothing, he excitedly grabbed his large-screen phone and handed it to Xiao Yi, saying.
"Famous basketball player, Li Zhengyi, publicly harasses a female celebrity!"
"Li Zhengyi hosts a party at a luxurious mansion in G City, after getting drunk..."
".........."
Gazing at the bold red news headlines on the phone screen, Xiao Yi’s expression froze for a mont, the frost on his face lting away mostly. After being stunned for a mont, he seed to have thought of sothing and snatched the phone from Fatty Tang’s hand, his fingers swiftly scrolling through.
Hehe...it looks like I’ve passed this challenge!
"I’m telling you, this piece of news is absolutely explosive, and this reason, absolutely sufficient!"
Let ask, which man in this world, upon seeing his powerful rival exposed in such an incendiary scandal, wouldn’t be excited and pleased?
Fatty Tang was so engrossed in his phone screen that he seed to have completely forgotten the previously angry Xiao Yi, a smug smile creeping onto his face. However, he didn’t notice that the expression on Xiao Yi’s face was distinctly different from soone gleeful over their rival’s disgrace.
After scrolling through the phone for several minutes and flipping through several pages, Xiao Yi finally handed the phone back to Fatty Tang, his expression becoming sowhat peculiar.
"Boss, what do you think? It’s quite explosive, isn’t it?"
Fatty Tang took the phone from Xiao Yi with a triumphant smile on his face.
"Indeed... it is sufficiently explosive!"
Xiao Yi replied with a wry expression, his gaze involuntarily turning towards Zhao Yuhua.
He knew that Li Zheng Yi’s affairs were bound to co out. There were no few who took clandestine photos yesterday; with Li Zheng Yi’s style, he didn’t believe everyone had such a good relationship with him. Surely, so had their own ulterior motives.
If nobody had leaked the story, he would have co forward himself in the end. The photos he took yesterday weren’t for nothing.
But in his opinion, the leak wouldn’t have co so quickly. Surely soone uploaded it today, but it wouldn’t have caught so much attention this fast, because no one there yesterday would have the guts to expose it under their real na.
Yet the story exploded so rapidly, with such intensity that when he checked, several mainstream dia outlets had covered it, which really surprised him.
His first thought was of Zhao Yuhua. Among those present last night who had the capacity and the audacity to expose the news so boldly, he figured it was her. However, her expression was calm and revealed nothing.
"Unexpectedly, this guy really has no class. I was blind to have liked him back then,"
Fatty Tang lanted with indignation, then upon noticing Xiao Yi’s gaze on Zhao Yuhua, he couldn’t help but show an understanding smile. "Boss, you can rest easy now. With such a scandalous story breaking, I bet she wouldn’t look his way again."
Thump!
At Fatty Tang’s words, Xiao Yi almost slamd his forehead onto the table.
This guy, what nonsense he was spouting, even calling her ’sister-in-law’!
Especially seeing the ’you can rest now’ look on his face, Xiao Yi felt utterly defeated by him, and couldn’t help but seriously despise and doubt his intelligence and emotional quotient. Didn’t he know that Zhao Yuhua had never been interested in Li Zheng Yi to begin with?
If she had been, there wouldn’t have been all the prior incidents, nor what happened yesterday.
"Boss, what do you think, how did such explosive news get leaked? Who reported it?"
Fatty Tang was oblivious to the problem with his words, his attention quickly returning to the breaking news, his face displaying an extrely curious and gossipy expression.
"How would I know?"
Xiao Yi, coming back to his senses, uttered feebly, his gaze once again settling on Zhao Yuhua. Observing her unruffled deanor, he couldn’t help but doubt his earlier suspicions. Wasn’t she the one behind this?
Regardless, he didn’t dwell on it. In any case, whether Zhao Yuhua or the Zhao Family was behind it, it was a good thing, and his goal was better achieved.
Young Master Li must be waking up to these reports; oh, and he probably wouldn’t even need to wake up, as he’d likely be rousted from bed either by phone calls or dragged out of his covers.
Seeing these reports, Young Master Li must feel very ’happy,’ right?
A faint smile played on Xiao Yi’s lips.
"Wow, this guy sure has money, to report such a juicy party. Look at this wine, my dad just bought a bottle recently. It’s said to cost over ten thousand a bottle, extrely precious. He says it’s only to be opened for esteed guests, locked up in the wine cabinet on normal days, he’s too reluctant to open it..."
Fatty Tang, completely unaware of Xiao Yi’s uneasy emotions, continued to focus on the news story, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, I didn’t expect him to have such status in the circle, even inviting XXX over..."
