Chapter 82 - Nutjob VS Crazy Wench! (1/2)

Dylan Qiu a.k.a Qiu Hedi was born in an ideal home. A home with a loving and caring mother, a strict father and a doting elder sister. Being the youngest in the family, he was the most pampered person. He never had to go through grievances in life. At least, not until he had to face the world.

It was safe to say that Dylan's sensitive heart was broken brutally in this harsh world.

Dylan had always despised it when people approached him with ulterior motives. But it was a shame that rarely anyone came to him without an agenda. Perhaps that was why he had no problem with Xiu's hatefully bitter tongue. Because it allowed him to feel her sincere hatred openly. In a way, he was actually very thankful for that.

”Can't you just take into account your friendship?” Hu Shishi tried to persuade him again.

Dylan leaned back in his chair languidly as he snickered in mock contempt, ”Friendship? Your cousin and I nothing to do with each other. Not anymore. Whatever friendship we had is long severed. If I'm not wrong, he doesn't even know that you are here to ask for my help.”

”Dylan, why are you turning into a cold-hearted person like Darren? We have tried asking for his help as well, but even he is not willing to help.” The mentioning of Darren's name made Dylan stand up in anger.

”Cold-hearted Darren?” He snorted. ”Say my best friend's name one more time and see how evil-hearted I can become!”

Dylan turned to leave when her voice made him pause, ”If you helped us this time, I'll tell you where she is.” Dylan turned to look at her with a raging fire in his eyes while she went on, ”I know when you asked me last time, I said I don't know where she is. But I lied. This time, I'll really tell you where she is.”

Dylan's fists tightened as he tried to keep his emotions from wavering. ”Do you still think I'm that college boy in love? I've grown out of those years. I won't care even if she died. So, Ms. Hu, stop playing this game. It's getting boring now.”

He again turned to leave and walked back inside the restaurant to Xiu. What he saw made him want to laugh?

There Xiu was with a table full of food which was barely eaten. Xiu was busy clicking photos of the food which looked enticing and delicious.

”You're not done yet, Ms. Bai?” Dylan asked coming to her side.

Xiu looked at him and stood up saying, ”All done.”

Dylan looked at the food again and said, ”But you barely touched anything.”

Xiu patted his shoulder like an old friend and leaned close to whisper, ”Revenge should be classy. And classy revenge is pricey. But pricey revenge is what Xiu likey.” Dylan stifled his laughter while she added, ”I have a rule if I'm not the one paying then the most expensive thing is what I get.” She pointed at the table of food and said, ”This is the most expensive meal of this restaurant. The white wine alone costs thousands.”

Dylan rubbed his forehead and said, ”I just realized...” Xiu raised her brows in question and he added, ”You're the best crime partner.”

Xiu gave him an honest smile and flipped her hair conceitedly saying, ”That I am.”

”Let's go,” he was about to leave when he saw Hu Shishi walking towards him again, he reminded her, ”Don't forget to pay the bill. My fifteen minutes were expensive.” Xiu loved the look on Hu Shishi's face when she saw the bill. Oh, inner satisfaction was real. Real and liberating in a twisted way.

”Dylan,” Hu Shishi's voice stopped them again. ”Even if you say you forgot her. I won't believe you. You're desperate for her and desperation never goes away.”

Xiu observed the way Dylan's eyes closed briefly to take a deep breath before he turned to face her and said, ”You wanted my help? Let me help you then.” Hu Shishi's eyes brightened up. ”The mysterious person behind RX Studios is no one else but my best friend... R.D. Salvay,” Dylan enunciated each word making Hu Shishi stagger in shock.

”What? But why?” She asked in a daze.

Dylan gave her a blithe but provocative smile as he said, ”Why? Nice question. The guy who didn't even flinch when his own life was at stake. Why is he going to the extent of challenging your whole group?” His voice took a dangerous edge as he added, ”Because this time you people destroyed something precious to his heart. Your cousin has a lot more to expect ahead. This project was merely the silence before the storm.”
