C80 (1/2)
A few years ago, he had personally handed over all of the matters to Jing Feng, but Jing Feng did not seem to have the energy to focus all of his attention on it either.
However, once the news of Xue Minghuang and his appointment was spread, everyone started to guess whether Xue Minghuang had something big going on and was about to take over the Xingfeng again. And if this time, due to some lucky chance, he was able to re-manage the Xingfeng, could it be that he had some sort of relationship with the Xia Ying who had just returned?
That was why he wanted to help Shen Meng block the rumors. As for the reason why she did so, even Xue Minghuang herself did not understand that, in her lifetime, there would always be some sort of inexplicable thing that she wanted to do.
However, after meeting her, he felt that she was an intelligent woman. Such a person could at least save him a lot of effort, so why not?
Jing Feng knocked on the door and came in with the report. Xue Minghuang looked at it and signed on it, Jing Feng reached out to take the report, but just then, he said coldly, ”There are some tricks, just play and it will be fine, do not go overboard.” It didn't even spare Jing Feng a glance.
Jing Feng's heart suddenly tightened, Xue Minghuang rarely used such a tone to reprimand Jing Feng, as he was a good brother who had accompanied him in life and death situations for many years, although he worked under his command, he had never treated him as a subordinate, never did he expect that he would reprimand Jing Feng for this matter. Jing Feng was still stunned.
”This matter has already passed. I don't want to implicate anyone.” Xue Minghuang was still afraid that he would think too much into it, hence he started to explain. How could Jing Feng believe such an explanation?
”Sir's lesson is, I will take note.” The cold and distant words came out of his mouth, and he instantly felt that he had been a little stingy. Why did he have to get angry at Xue Minghuang for such a thing? After all these years, his decision had never made any mistakes, so this matter should not be an exception.
Xue Minghuang did not bother about anything else. After a moment of silence, Jing Feng took the report and closed the door. Outside the house, Sophie looked at Jing Feng with an inquiring gaze. Towards everything that Xue Minghuang was doing, she couldn't help but be curious.
”I'm fine.” Jing Feng still opened his mouth, but in the end, he was still unable to sit 100% indifferent to Sophie.
Sophie did not ask anymore, but she suddenly thought of something. ”Chen Feng, it can't be that you were the one who did it, right?” With that, she looked at Jing Feng coldly.
Jing Feng was really helpless, after being scolded by the people inside, the people outside started again, ”What do you think?”
”Don't you dare make things difficult for yourself! Don't do anything stupid! ” This time, Jing Feng really had nothing else to say. A single Xia Ying was actually the weakness of these two people, and with just a slight movement, they had already caused such a huge commotion.
Helplessly, Jing Feng could only nod his head, and only then did Sophie change his tone and ask him, ”What happened to that Shen Meng? Why did Mr. Xue make another appointment with her tonight? ”
Jing Feng shrugged, ”This, I don't know. You should mind your own business. ” After a long time, he had witnessed everything. Naturally, he couldn't help but remind her. It was useless to do anything unnecessary.
He thought that Sophie would at least stare at him like she usually did, but this time, she didn't. She only lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not allowing him to see her emotions.
Sophie almost choked back her tears. Was she really being nosy? Why, was everything really wishful thinking? I thought of that night again. Her heart was chilled to the bone.
Chasing him through different bars, finding him drunk, helping him up and down.
His footsteps, however, had never stopped by a single inch for her. Even so, she didn't give up. Instead, she continued to stay by his side while secretly rejoicing.
That woman would make him sad, but she wouldn't. She would only be by his side forever, healing his wounds, and relieving his worries.
Sophie believed from start to finish, that as long as she was by Xue Minghuang's side, he would at least be able to see her good, right? He would eventually forget that woman for a long time. As long as he forgot that woman, he would naturally notice her existence, right?
The nightmare from that night had struck her, but she still didn't know if it was good or bad.
There was also that long night when, in order to accompany him, she was dragged into the dark alley by a group of thugs. That long night, she screamed out everyone's names, but there was no response.
There was no response. She passed through that night, and as the dawn approached, she woke up, her body covered with scars.
Xue Minghuang, who was in front of Hu Tong, slowly woke up. He first looked around in a daze, looking at his dejected self, then saw her.
Sophie slowly crawled over and fell on the ground beside Xue Minghuang. Without any strength, he raised his head unremarkable, and did not dare look at Xue Minghuang with eyes filled with disdain.
But what could she do? She was clearly asking for help, the Great Luo God was unable to help her, and Xue Minghuang was also unable to help her.
In her despair, she felt a piece of clothing that carried warmth. It was Xue Minghuang's clothes.
Sophie's eyes opened a crack, and she saw pity and guilt in Xue Minghuang's eyes.
Suddenly, a dirty secret delight arose in her heart.
At this moment, Xue Minghuang was loving her, no matter how pitiful, whether it was sympathy, or even guilt, they all had her in their eyes.
