The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 411 - 410 The Lack of Five Elements_2
So, that’s how it is! She breathed a sigh of relief, then shot him a fierce glare.
Wan Donglin noticed her clenching one fist tightly, as if gathering internal energy, ready to strike him at any moment.
He thought, So, this is the crux of the matter. If she hadn’t brought it up on WeChat, I would never have known the real reason she hates me so intensely: she’s always believed I was the one behind Wang Xiaohao. That’s her ultimate evaluation of me—Wan Donglin, the rogue, who would try to destroy any woman I couldn’t possess, even letting other men humiliate and trample them. Being falsely accused like this is a bitter pill to swallow, isn’t it?
He remained unperturbed, only sitting up slightly and taking something from his pocket to hand to her. Instantly wary, she asked, "What’s this?"
"Take a look."
It was a printed photograph with seven or eight people in it. She looked at it skeptically but found nothing unusual. Upon closer inspection, she realized the last person was Wang Xiaohao.
"From now on, keep your distance from the people in this photo."
"Why?"
"These are all people who showed up at the last party. They’re all from the same business school. Wang Xiaohao was originally a nobody; he only managed to get into this circle thanks to his father’s connections. Most of the women at that party were also from this business school..."
She froze. Wasn’t this the Exchange Despair Club?
So it was a gathering of Tycoons from the business school.
"No one usually bothers with a nobody like Wang Xiaohao; associating with him would mean lowering their own status. He asked me about your whereabouts several times. I thought he was just asking casually. I never expected that guy to be so audacious. He got what he deserved today."
She looked at him suspiciously. Is this guy trying to clear his name?
His face remained stern. "Yan Xixi, you don’t believe me, do you?"
She didn’t respond.
He chuckled darkly. "To deal with a minor character like you, would I need to use someone else? Crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."
If looks could kill, I’d be dead ten thousand times over by now, Wan Donglin thought. Too bad they can’t.
He continued, exceedingly calm and arrogant, "Besides, you begged me to take you to that party, didn’t you..."
She couldn’t believe her ears. "When did I ever beg you?"
"Weren’t you causing a scene about breaking up back then? I thought you were planning to find your next prospect before we split. I also thought I couldn’t let the two years you spent with me be for nothing, so that’s why I took you to that Tycoon circle. Otherwise, do you think I’m so idle I’d do that for no reason? I was doing you a favor, and you mistook my good intentions. It seems it really doesn’t pay to be a good person. Don’t worry, no matter how much you beg me in the future, I won’t give you this kind of chance again."
Her face flushed crimson. Who on earth would beg him, that shameless jerk? With that vile, sarcastic tongue of his, I wouldn’t want to lay eyes on him again for the rest of my life!
He saw the extreme anger in her eyes and knew she was about to explode.
Yet, he pressed on, seemingly oblivious to the danger, "What? You mean you never thought about finding a new prospect?"
She remained silent.
"TSK, TSK... Yan Xixi, don’t tell me you were planning to stay faithful to me even after we broke up? Or, should I say, apart from me, you can’t even look at other men? Well, well, I’m like a towering mountain to be admired. You’ll never meet another ’Tall, Rich, and Handsome’ as good as me in your entire life... HA HA HA! This is truly your greatest loss..."
Yan Xixi nearly choked on her own anger, a metallic taste rising in her throat.
"That’s how these circles are. There are tiers among these Tycoons. Even if a woman is as beautiful as a goddess, if she’s been with a first-tier Tycoon, she can only hang out in second-tier Tycoon circles afterward, and so on. There’s absolutely no way to climb back up. The Tycoons themselves wouldn’t stand for the loss of face; it’s a symbol of their status hierarchy. Did you look at this photo carefully? If you want to avoid trouble in the future, just steer clear of this whole group..."
Her fist clenched tighter and tighter.
Vile mouth! Just consider him a vile-mouthed jerk! Ever since I met him, this guy has been fundamentally despicable!
He watched her blood-red face with relish, as if her head were about to erupt in flames.
Go on, hit me! Bite me! You little swindler, didn’t you say you were going to destroy me? Weren’t you desperate to take your anger out on me? Come on, then!
Yet, he continued as if nothing were amiss, "You have a boyfriend named Huang Xiaojue now, right? At best, he’s a third-tier Tycoon, basically insignificant. That’s why riff-raff like Wang Xiaohao can mix in with his crowd. I suggest you don’t go out with him unnecessarily, parading around. Just stay home quietly. Every time you go out with him, you’re just asking for humiliation, aren’t you?..."
Yan Xixi’s face flushed crimson. Suddenly, she couldn’t hold back anymore and threw a punch.
Wan Donglin was caught off guard. Her fist landed squarely beneath his left collarbone, the pain making him reel backward.
She froze, stunned that he hadn’t dodged. She quickly took a step back, biting her lip hard. Oddly enough, her fury vanished after that one punch, replaced entirely by shock.
Throwing a direct punch—this was an unprecedented loss of control for her! When dealing with enemies, using strategy was always better. But damn it, that one punch was far more direct, effective, and satisfying than any strategy!
He grimaced in pain, clutching the spot with his right hand. My god, who said women were as gentle as water? This woman always seemed to possess the strength of an ox at the most inappropriate times!
Her face turned deathly pale, and she retreated further. Oh no, oh no, what if I’ve completely infuriated him? This is bad. He boasted before about being some kind of special forces soldier!
