Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 473 - 471 The Woman is Now Under My Name

"After graduation, the Liang siblings went to Italy for further studies, and Liang Tao wanted to be with his children, so he closed down Hongtai Real Estate and followed them. I’m not sure of the exact address of the Liang family in Italy, nor do I have their contact details. However, if you wish to find out, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get in touch indirectly. It might just take some time."

Shangguan Yao’s hands were tucked in his pockets, his tone quite brisk.

Jiayi hurriedly said, "Could I ask you to help me get in touch with the Liang family?"

Without hesitating for long, Shangguan Yao nodded, but a cryptic luster appeared on the corner of his lips, "What’s fair is fair. Shouldn’t you also tell me something in return?"

"Tell you what?"

Shangguan Yao leaned in, a slight smile lifting his lips, the intoxicating scent of men’s cologne drifting towards Jiayi, "Your current address, your phone number, are you working or studying? You’re not a professional escort who specializes in accompanying tours, are you?"

Before Jiayi could speak, she heard cold, steady footsteps accompanied by a man’s icy, sarcastic voice,

"Young Master Yao seems to enjoy prying into people’s addresses and phone numbers; perhaps you should consider a career in media development in Yunling. The paparazzi profession would quite suit you."

Upon hearing that voice, Jiayi instinctively stepped back, the inexplicable guilt of being caught in the act overwhelming her again.

Huo Zhenyang stood tall and erect, his approach with each step suggesting an impending storm death on his flawless features.

Although he seemed calm, he radiated an intense chill like a burst of harsh winter wind, making one shudder without being cold.

When Shangguan Yao saw who it was, he paused, then laughed incredulously, "Huo Zhenyang, Jiayi and I are old classmates from Jin University, I was just asking for her current contact information."

Xiaoyi?

This endearing nickname made Huo Zhenyang’s expression grow even colder.

Old acquaintances?

He was, of course, now certain that the two knew each other.

Without saying it, Shangguan Xiong had casually mentioned bringing this young woman along on the phone call – that must have been Shangguan Yao’s idea too.

Huo Zhenyang passed by Jiayi, glancing at her, "Aren’t you going back?"

Jiayi exhaled as if pardoned and hurried towards the banquet hall.

With the woman’s departure, the temperature seemed to drop by several degrees, and the atmosphere became rigid in an instant.

"Your penchant for chasing women is well-known, but you don’t need to entertain any thoughts about this one. I will say this only once." He cut straight to the point, a direct command.

Even a blind man could see that Shangguan Yao’s feelings for the young woman were more than just those of a simple classmate.

Shangguan Yao couldn’t afford to completely fall out with him, lest the old man back home tear him apart, so he tried to be as polite as possible, "Are you Xiaoyi’s boyfriend, Huo Zhenyang?"

"No," came the frigid response, the two words sounding even colder at the mention of Xiaoyi again.

"Then what’s the problem? If Huo Zhenyang has no relationship with Xiaoyi, why can’t she have a normal interaction with me—"

Before he finished, he saw the other man’s eyes, hawk-like and piercing, staring straight at him.

The look made Shangguan Yao involuntarily swallow his words.

"Then, consider that woman as being under my name for now, my personal property."

After a pause, he continued with indifferent derision, "Shangguan, the chairman, and I are peers, which would make you like my nephew in terms of seniority. You don’t plan to compete with your uncle for his things, do you, Xiaoyao?"

Fuck. The casual use of Xiaoyao turned Shangguan Yao’s face dark, pressuring him with seniority?

The man then turned and walked towards the banquet hall.

Shangguan Yao snapped back to reality, gritted his teeth, and couldn’t hold back, half mocking and half resentful, "Does one really have to be so domineering? Under your name? Does Xiaoyi’s face have your name written on it right now?"

The man turned slightly, his handsome and cold side profile lifted, and his thin lips curved:

"I don’t know if my name is written on her face, but I do know if you keep babbling, your face is going to bear the mark of my fist."

Shangguan Yao gasped, "You’ve done enough, Huo Zhenyang! Was I in your debt in my last life or what? Have you had your fun yet? Five years ago, this is how you behaved in H City, making my old man send me down south to supervise a construction site, and now you’re at it again, being unreasonable and overbearing!!"

That single sentence brought Huo Zhenyang to a halt, his brows and eyes suddenly froze, as if savoring Shangguan Yao’s words, and then he narrowed his deep-set eyes:

"Repeat what you just said."

Shangguan Yao, with his breath caught in his throat, couldn’t show weakness: "I said you’ve really done enough, was I in your debt in my past life, have you had your fun yet!"

"No, the last part," the man turned, slightly tilting up his chin, his handsome face showing not a trace of anger, just staring at Shangguan Yao.

Not understanding his meaning, Shangguan Yao still gritted his teeth: "I said five years ago in H City you did this, insisting that my old man send me down south to supervise a construction site, and now again, you’re unreasonable and overbearing—"

"Enough. Shut up." Huo Zhenyang waved his hand dismissively, as if he had heard what he wanted to hear.

Shangguan Yao was choked with anger but could only watch helplessly as the man strode away.

----

The night passed.

At the end of the banquet, Huo Zhenyang left with Jiayi.

They got into the Lincoln, and once the door closed, Ade drove them away from Shengjing Hotel.

Away from the banquet’s clamor, the atmosphere in the car became somewhat tense and awkward.

Remembering the recent encounter with Shangguan Yao, and how he had spotted her, Jiayi’s heart still raced like a rabbit’s. Seeing him silent all this time, not knowing what he was thinking, she couldn’t help but hold her breath secretly, not even daring to breathe too heavily.

Could this man still be thinking about that incident with Shangguan Yao? Could he be angry?

She really was crazy—why worry if he was angry or not?

Whether he’s angry or not, what does it have to do with her?

Besides, what right does he have to be angry?

As they drove, the car was half a kilometer from Fuyah Residential Area when Jiayi said, "That’s enough, just stop here." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The stretch Lincoln today was too conspicuous. Better to get off early and walk back home; otherwise, she was sure to be noticed.

And she had to find a place to take off this outfit and change into her own clothes before going home.

In the past, when he dropped her off, and she made such a request, Huo Zhenyang didn’t say much, but today his expression was particularly dark.

Ade parked the car by the roadside. After getting out, he opened the rear door of the car, and just as Jiayi was about to get out, she heard the man’s voice next to her, mysterious and distant:

"Does your aunt not know about your debt repayment by working as a maid in Disheng?"

Jiayi paused for a moment, then honestly said, "Mm, I don’t want her to worry."
