Helian Xiao’s eyes darkened, and he looked at Mrs Zhou with eyes as sharp as an eagle. “What right do you have to question me?”

In front of the world’s richest man, Mrs Zhou really had no status. The woman was noone and as insignificant as an ant.

Helian Xiao did not look at Mrs Zhou anymore and his sharp gaze looked over at Zhou Li.

Zhou Li’s legs turned weak by his powerful aura.

“I’ll ask you once. Did An Feng seduce you first?”

Zhou Li lowered his eyes and hesitated, trembling with fear.

Mrs Zhou was about to pull his hair when her phone rang. Seeing that it was from her father, she answered and her expression changed when she heard what the person on the other end said. “What? The bank stopped loaning to our family? The company may not hold out and has to be declared bankrupt? What are you saying?!”

Mrs Zhou suddenly remembered that Helian Xiao was the world’s richest man and had numerous banks under his name. In her daze, she had forgotten that the loan of her company was from the Helian family’s bank.

With just a word, he could make her family face bankruptcy.

Was it for that b*tch An Feng?

Mrs Zhou realized the seriousness of the matter and her pupils constricted. She was about to say something when she heard Zhou Li said, “An Feng did not seduce me. It was me who was interested and I hugged her forcefully.”

Mrs Zhou was furious. “W-What did you say?”

After Zhou Li heard his wife’s phone conversation just now and knew that her family was going bankrupt, his heart felt strangely light. He could finally hold his head high and be rid of this woman. He smiled coldly and said, “I said I hugged her. I have always liked women of her type and hated women like you. If you had not pressured me with your family’s wealth, I would have divorced you long ago! Go and take a look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really think I would like you? The only thing I like is your family’s money! But now, I don’t even care about your money anymore!”

Hearing his caustic words, Mrs Zhou was trembling with anger. In the end, everything turned black and she fainted.

An Feng looked at the scene happening and had no expression on her face. She pushed aside the crowd and ran out.

The other ladies who had bullied An Feng wanted to apologize to Helian Xiao, but he ignored them and chased after An Feng.

Quick steps brought An Feng to the beach.

Very soon, Helian Xiao caught up with her.

An Feng kept walking forward. Helian Xiao took several big strides and caught her slender wrist.

“Let go of me!”

An Feng wanted to shake off Helian Xiao’s hand, but was unable to.

Although he had arrived in time and helped her out, seeing how Zhou Li treated his wife, An Feng was afraid that in the future, Helian Xiao and her would end up in such a state.

It was really scary when men changed!

Helian Xiao pulled An Feng under a palm tree and pressed her against the tree, one hand on the top of her head and looked down at her. “I misunderstood you.”

An Feng’s eyelashes fluttered. “What did you misunderstand?”

“When I woke up this morning and didn’t see you, I went to look for you and saw you in Zhou Li’s arms. You didn’t push him away immediately and I saw that you were blus.h.i.+ng when you look at him and looking shy. I know you liked him before so I thought…”

Helian Xiao was interrupted by An Feng, whose eyes were red. “I was blus.h.i.+ng because I thought of what happened last night between us and I didn’t push him away because he held me so suddenly I couldn’t even react in time. But it was only for a few seconds, before I pushed him away.

“Do you think I’m a person who would be intimate with her senior when I had given myself to you?” The grievance in An Feng’s heart surged up again and she glared at the man. “Am I that kind of promiscuous woman in your eyes?”

The moment her voice fell, she was pulled into his arms. His chest was firm and strong and her nose hurt a little when she knocked into him.

Her hands clenched into fists and she pounded his shoulders, but he held her even tighter.
