Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 126 - 124

Just then, Huo Zhenyang withdrew his gaze and strode into the restaurant, heading for the seat arranged by the waiter.

After ensuring Huo Zhenyang and his group were settled, Liang Tao returned to his seat and resumed dining with several young people, but he couldn’t help mentioning Liang Jue and Liang Anya:

"Xiaojue, Anya, you’re grown up now and you should know better. Huo Shao is a figure with status, both in the business and political worlds. Despite his young age, he has his own impressive tactics. I don’t know how many people try to ingratiate themselves with him. He’s also the successor of the Huo Group. You should be nicer to him. Why do you seem so unhappy with him?"

Liang Jue and Liang Anya exchanged glances.

If it wasn’t for Xiaoyi warning them beforehand, the siblings really wanted to tell Daddy, honestly, that when Xiaoyi went to seek Huo Shao’s help before, how arrogant his attitude was, and he might even have been inappropriate towards Xiaoyi, behaving indiscreetly.

But since Xiaoyi had instructed them repeatedly, Liang Jue and Liang Anya couldn’t say much.

Liang Jue frowned: "Daddy, I just feel that the old master of the Huo Family became acquainted with you when you were young. This time, Huo Shao completely disregarded the old friendship, pulled out his investment midway and almost brought down our company, even causing you to nearly... That’s why I feel this person is really too cold-hearted and ruthless, not a good person."

Liang Tao sighed, "There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield of business, and one cannot be too sentimental. I can understand Huo Shao’s ruthless methods. If not for such tactics, he probably couldn’t keep control over the vast Huo empire. Besides, hasn’t Huo Shao re-invested in our amusement park project now? Let’s just let bygones be bygones."

Liang Jue huffed lightly; it wasn’t because Huo Shao had softened, but rather because Xiaoyi had helped!

The group returned to their seats by the floor-to-ceiling windows and resumed dining.

Jiayi’s heart, however, could no longer calm down.

The man’s arrival had shattered the peace of her heart, stirring ripples.

After not seeing him for several weeks, she thought it was all over, but unexpectedly, she encountered him again today.

Huo Zhenyang’s table was diagonally in front of the Liang Family’s table.

She could even occasionally feel that man’s gaze sweeping over her through the crowd.

The gaze was intense, serious, and carried a great deal of displeasure, akin to an emperor on the verge of anger.

It wasn’t until the third time that man looked over that Jiayi, in a nervous fluster, knocked over the lemon juice and spilled it on her pants.

Even though she stained her dress, the thought of not having to face that man at such close range actually brought Jiayi a sense of relief.

His piercing gaze was, to her, akin to torture.

"Excuse me, I’m going to the restroom," she apologized to Liang Tao and others, leaving her seat, and headed towards the restroom outside the revolving restaurant.

——

In the restroom, Jiayi rinsed her dress and dried it with the dryer, then washed her face, which steadied her emotions a bit.

Looking in the mirror, she patted her powdered cheeks, took a deep breath, and murmured to herself:

"Coward, what are you afraid of? After what you did that night, can you not even bear to look at him now? Cheer up! No worries! He’s a busy man of high status; you were just a momentarily novel prey to him! By now, he might even have forgotten the contents of that contract!"

Having said that, she invigorated herself, held her head up high, and walked out of the restroom.

Before she even got to the door, the lights went out, and she collided with a solid chest!

She rebounded and staggered back a few steps, and at the moment when she was about to fall, the person had already stretched out a long leg, stepped in, and with a clang, closed the door!

A familiar scent assaulted her senses! It was a smell she feared she would never forget for the rest of her life!

She stared at Huo Zhenyang, eyes widening, and after three seconds, she exclaimed, "Are you crazy? This is the women’s restroom..."

Had barging into the women’s restroom become his habit?

It was like this back at J&J, and now the same thing was happening!

With a deep voice, he threatened, "Go ahead and scream, draw your godfather’s family here if you like. How would you like to explain?"

She instinctively held her breath, managing to shut her mouth, but then she bit her lip: "...then you go out first."

"Why? Have you forgotten that contract so soon?"

Jiayi’s breath caught.

She was too naive!

To think that he would stop after that one time? As if all the remaining numbers on the contract could be erased! That he could even forget!

Ridiculous! How could that be?!

"This isn’t appropriate here," she muttered weakly.

"Not appropriate?" Huo Zhenyang’s thick eyebrows twisted slightly, "It seems you haven’t really studied the terms and contents of that contract."

Jiayi’s pupils constricted as she glared at him, what did he mean?

He firmly lifted her chin, repeating the terms of the contract bluntly: "Seven times, you need to be at my beck and call, regardless of any occasion, location, and time. Whenever I need, you must comply without objections."

She indeed remembered such a clause, but how was she to know that he really meant no regard for time or place?

He pinched her chin and curved his lips into a smile, radiating a deep wickedness: "Of course, baby, you can refuse, which means our contract is void. I can let you go, exit like a gentleman, and then you can continue to dine and celebrate with your godfather, brother, and sister."

If the contract were voided, this man would withdraw his investment, and the Liang Family would once again be plunged into a desperate situation!

Jiayi couldn’t imagine what would happen to the Liang Family if they faced such a disaster again!

As soon as this man left, the joy and happiness at dinner would immediately evaporate into nothing!

The smiles on godfather’s and Anya’s faces would disappear, and Brother Jue might even be thrown back into prison again!

That absolutely could not happen!

She could not allow such a situation to occur again.

She regained her composure, instinctively put out her hand to create a barrier between them, and tried to keep herself from panicking as she said calmly:

"This is a public place, someone might come in any moment. I think, Huo Shao, you wouldn’t be pleased to have such a scene witnessed by others!"
