Chapter 779: Who’s The Better Planner
The rainstorm outside still doesn’t have any indication of stopping soon. It was raining cats and dogs, and it was but an hour before the lowland area of Yunnan Provincial City was already flash-flooded, the river’s water had also risen to a frightening level.
Xia Yiwei sandwiched her phone between her head and her shoulder, she urgently paced forwards with her clacking high heels, she spoke with an emotionless tone: “It’s rare for you to praise a young girl like that, looks like my sixth cousin has some good tastes.”
Noticing the urgent clacking of high heels coming from his speakers, Hou Zi couldn’t help but furrow his brows, “Never would I have thought the child who was devil incarnate had become such a wonderful talent now. From what I heard from my staff, he’s a Major, though his military rank is still low; after all, he is still quite young. By the time he’s my age, he’ll be much more influential.”
Hou Zi did not leave the hotel. Instead, he pressed the elevator button to the highest floor — the 23rd floor, this was his second home in Yunnan province, it was also the place for him to have dates with a woman, and this woman was the only person who was allowed to enter both of his homes… Xia Yiwei.
After entering the elevator, Hou Zi’s handsome face that would make even women feel despair was filled with seductiveness, he asked with a chuckle, “How are you going to get here tonight? A nice bottle of red wine has just been shipped from France, wanna taste it together?
A staff member of the Provincial Office walked towards her with a hurried pace, “Secretary Xia, the river level is rising at a staggering pace, the Flood Control Station called us and said it’s best to carry out the redirection plan…”
He could only hear the first part of the conversation through the phone, as for the second part, Hou Zi was not able to listen to any of it, but since she hadn’t ended the call, then he would never hang up on her.
“I’m not free tonight, go find someone else.” Xia Yiwei replied blandly, a dark fog flashed past in her beautiful eyes.
The sixth cousin was right, and she’s guarding a hopeless relationship. Falling in love with a man who was destined to never love, why should she suffer and spend her whole life accompanying this man?
It’s about time to let go.
Xia Yiwei, who was also in an elevator, silently looked at the elevator’s metallic mirror. Though the woman in the mirror still had a beautiful and enchanting face, those eyes were already showing the signs of withering, the face that had once enchanted a ‘Monkey’ to crash into a lamppost,… had grown old.
Because she was old, she didn’t have much time to spend with the same man. From when she’s 17 till she’s 34 now, it was about time for the seventeen-year relationship they had to be stopped.
Her phone rang once again in the confined elevator. The sounds seemed extraordinarily loud, and it was the phone call from the Provincial Head of Yunnan. It was an emergency call telling her they needed to host a meeting for anti-flood measures.
As to Hou Zi, Xia Yiwei had already tossed him to the backs of her mind.
“Go find out who’s been coming in contact with Miss Xia, report to me immediately when you find out anything.” Hou Zi, who figured out something was strange, put down his phone, ordered with a dark and predatory gaze, “No matter who it is, find out who they are.”
The same words were being said by Old Granny Ye, who was sitting on the sofa with a chilly voice: “I don’t care who her benefactor is, Zifan, you’d better find out who they are.”
“She’s truly rebelled! She doesn’t even treat me like her granny! If it weren’t because the staff from the hotel came before it’s too late, your brother-in-law’s two underlings would’ve lost their lives to her.”
“She’s already so bloodthirsty at such a young age, how does she even resemble Ye family’s precious girl! If we don’t discipline her well enough, she’ll definitely turn into the scourge of society.”
“Our Ye family will not tolerate such existences in our household!”
The old granny’s voice was quite deep, and the coldness in every word she spoke made Ye Ying’s heart shudder unwillingly. At the same time, an indescribable sense of excitement rose from her heart.
