Chapter 82 - You Want Me To Get Lost? (2/2)

He Lei took out his wallet and shoved a wad of money at her, frustrated. What was he, a charity? “Did you tell the young master that you’re flying back?”

......

Tang Qiu held back her tears as she took the money from him. “He asked me to leave.” She walked away before He Lei could ask any further questions.

He Lei thought for a moment, then turned to knock on the door. The smell of smoke hit him once he entered the room. It was dim, and a lone figure held a lit cigarette in his hand. His face was heavy with loneliness and sorrow.

He Lei sighed inwardly. It was rare for the young master to let any woman into his life. But Tang Qiu hadn’t cherished him, and had actually eloped with another man. His young master must be furious. “Perhaps it’s because you’re wearing a human skin mask and pretending to be crippled, Young Master. Maybe the young mistress couldn’t stand it and chose a better-looking man…”

“So she’s been putting on an act in front of me all this time?” A woman who chose to betray him because of his ugly appearance wasn’t worth his time. The most unfair part, though, was how long she had sustained performance. He wouldn’t let her off. “Send a message to Old Master Ning and ask him if he wants his grandson, or Lu Ning.”

“Yes, Young Master.” He Lei knew that Ning Mufan had no way of escaping his young master’s wrath, but he could tell that the young master still couldn’t bear to relinquish Tang Qiu. It was obvious that she had genuinely captured his heart.

At this moment, He Lei’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Xie Qingqing, He Lei quickly went out and closed the door before answering.

“Mr He, have you found Qiu yet? Was your young master surprised to see her? Is he still unwell? He went overseas for treatment in the middle of the night. Qiu was worried all day and couldn’t focus in class.” Xie Qingqing hadn’t wanted to call him, but He Lei had hung up on her so abruptly the last time, and she was anxious after being unable to contact Tang Qiu.

He Lei’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’re saying Tang Qiu came to N Country to look for my young master?”

“What else? She’s so thrifty, would she have gone there for a holiday? Don’t tell me you didn’t see her?”

He Lei swallowed, feeling a tinge of fear. Had they misunderstood Tang Qiu?
