The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 419 - 416 Suddenly Falling into Desperate Situation 1_1

Mother Huang indeed intended to stir up trouble.

At the corner, she tugged at her sister’s sleeve. "Do you think Xiaojue will be unhappy with our behavior today?"

"Sister, don’t be so soft-hearted. Didn’t you say that Xiaojue’s property certificate is about to be issued? If you don’t hurry up and separate them, would you be happy to wait until Xiaojue adds her name to the certificate?"

This was Mother Huang’s primary concern.

"Sister, think about it. Xiaojue’s house is worth seven or eight million. If her name is added and they break up later, won’t she take half of it?"

Mother Huang was still worried. "We’ve taken so many bags. After all, they run a shop, and their costs aren’t small..."

"Alright, Sister, listen to me and you can’t go wrong. Taking just these few is nothing! Besides, isn’t this money coming out of Xiaojue’s own pocket? Why should that little slut benefit? You need to keep taking until that little slut fears you. By then, before Xiaojue even has to suggest breaking up, she’ll be the one who can’t stand it anymore and will initiate the split."

"Sigh. If only Xiaojue could be the one to suggest breaking up first; that would be ideal. It’s exhausting for me to go and battle her every day."

"Xiaojue is a bit naive, isn’t he? He’s got a one-track mind, so you can’t expect him to initiate the breakup. That little slut *has* to be the one to do it."

"This..."

"Sister, don’t hesitate. This is the least costly way to make them break up, and also the most effective method. Would you rather let Xiaojue lose the money for a few bags, or lose several million and his reputation for the rest of his life?"

Mother Huang was overjoyed. "Great idea."

The aunt laughed and patted her chest. "Sister, leave it to me. Dealing with a little slut like her is child’s play. Our Xiaojue is top-notch talent, a standard tall, rich, and handsome guy. He can easily find a beautiful virgin under 25 in the future. Don’t you worry about a thing."

At the end of an important meeting, it was almost time to get off work. Huang Xiaojue rubbed his temples and sent a text message. After a long while, there was no reply. He was slightly surprised, recalling that in the past few days, Yan Xixi had not replied to any of his text messages.

The call connected. Yan Xixi’s voice was low, "Xiaojue, what’s up?"

He smiled. "Xixi, we haven’t seen each other for almost a week. I miss you."

She remained silent.

"Tonight, let’s go somewhere together."

She paused for a moment. "Can I not go?"

"It’s not a social engagement, just a gathering of old friends. Xixi, let’s go and relax."

"The shop is very busy. I really don’t have time, Xiaojue. You go by yourself."

Before Huang Xiaojue could say anything else, she had already hung up. He was stunned. A feeling of extreme alienation seemed to spread through the air. Ever since the Wang Xiaohao incident, the two of them could no longer return to their previous intimacy.

He didn’t want this unpleasant mood to linger. Besides, he truly missed her after not seeing her for several days. So, he promptly stood up, intending to find her for dinner before heading to his appointment.

At that moment, an urgent phone call came. It was from Brother Kun. "Xiaojue, are you on your way? We’re just waiting for you. The theme of tonight’s salon is to discuss the investment situation for the second half of the year. We’ve invited a famous economist, so you need to get here early."

Unable to refuse, Huang Xiaojue had no choice but to hurry over.

It was a purely professional gathering. No female companions were present, nor any other unrelated people. However, Huang Xiaojue was surprised after taking his seat. Next to him sat a very elegant lady—it turned out to be Zhou Ting.
