The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 504 - 501 Honey, Give me a hug 9_1

"Little Xuanyuan, isn’t your husband quite close with Wan Donglin? Have you checked? Could it be true that Wan Donglin will marry Yan Xixi?"

This was her most concerning issue—somehow, she just didn’t want that woman to marry Wan Donglin.

She despised Yan Xixi so much, wishing nothing but misfortune for her. If Yan Xixi were to marry into a wealthy family, it would be an absolute injustice.

Her own son wasn’t good enough—what right did Yan Xixi have to marry into wealth?

Zhou Xiaoxuan forced a smile. "I haven’t heard about this."

"I heard it from Wan Donglin himself. He said he has proposed to her multiple times. Do families like theirs really marry such women?"

"Auntie, you’re overthinking. Donglin’s probably just talking big. He’s likely just trying to stand up for Yan Xixi. Marry her for real? If he were going to marry her, he wouldn’t have kicked her out in the first place."

When Huang’s mother heard this, she thought, Ah, that’s right. If he really loved her that much, they wouldn’t have broken up in the first place.

"Little Xuanyuan, I really hope this woman doesn’t marry into a wealthy family. Seriously, she’s not worthy. She was so cruel to my son. I suppose this matter was my fault, but she hit me—and she struck the first blow! Then what happened? She turned around, acting all aggrieved, like a queen! Just because my son liked her, she relentlessly tormented him, not giving him any chance at all. It’s made my son so cold towards me."

"Of course she’s unworthy."

Zhou Xiaoxuan comforted Huang’s mother for a bit before excusing herself, as it was getting late.

As soon as she got in the car, she received a call from Zhou Ting.

She dared not hide anything and relayed every bit of information she had obtained from Huang’s mother to Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting listened very carefully, not interrupting her at any point. Only when Zhou Xiaoxuan had finished speaking did Zhou Ting casually respond with a few words before hanging up.

At that moment, Zhou Ting was sitting in her study, flipping through stacks of internal documents, all of which were related to the Wan Family’s investments in Europe. Everything was public, legal, and seemingly problem-free.

However, she slowly realized that Wan Donglin calling off the wedding wasn’t entirely due to family reasons. It turned out he had truly fallen in love with that woman.

From that day at the club, when he stood before the police, it was as if he was telling everyone: ’Yan Xixi’s affairs? I’m taking charge of them.’ He knew perfectly well that I was at the club too. But he didn’t care.

It was as if he was saying, ’Yan Xixi is under my protection now. Whoever dares to lay a hand on her is directly challenging me.’

It seems using the Wang Xiaohao family to do the dirty work is no longer possible. Wang’s father has clearly decided to move on from that incident. Most importantly, Wang Xiaohao has already recovered after careful treatment. The Wang Family likely decided that less trouble is better. Perhaps they even received some other benefits behind the scenes, so they backed off at the opportune moment.

In the past, Wan Donglin was more discreet. Now, he’s brazen about it.

Wan Donglin, this is clearly a slap in my face!

He’s publicly and brutally slapping me in the face.

Calling off the wedding, protecting Yan Xixi, announcing to the world that you’ve fallen in love with her, becoming her guardian... You can bully me, Wan Donglin, but to bully the Zhou Family? That’s unacceptable, isn’t it?!

Her brow furrowed deeply. In her entire life, she had never suffered such a major blow. She was so furious she was rendered speechless.

As the highly privileged woman she was, she felt, for the first time, her self-esteem utterly devastated.

After a while, she walked out the door.

Looking out from the ornately carved gates and the vast courtyard, the entire city’s beautiful scenery seemed like a miniature version compressed into this large villa complex where high-ranking officials resided.

How many people had longed to live in such a central location.
