The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 645 - 642: Back to Original Form9_1

The sports car sped away.

The luxury car and its beautiful occupant, parading through the night, were outrageously ostentatious.

Deliberate! This woman is doing it deliberately! Huang’s mother finally exhaled after a long moment. "What a piece of work! Truly a case of a despicable person hitting it big. She’s been dumped, yet she can still be this smug. Relying on her looks for money, and not only does she not keep a low profile, she even flaunts it. She’s simply shameless."

Even Zhou Ting found her words mildly jarring. This bitter jealousy is just too obvious to hide.

She absentmindedly glanced at Huang Xiaojue. Huang Xiaojue, however, remained unfazed, merely driving, so calm it was as if he neither knew who the woman everyone was gossiping about was, nor had any interest.

The car passed the main thoroughfare of the city center.

They stopped at a red light.

In the distance, the glaring sign of a multi-story specialty store was conspicuous. As the city’s largest luxury specialty store for this particular brand, it had practically become a massive, universally recognized landmark in the Gold Coast district.

Everyone gazed at the huge sign and the flashing lightboard advertisement. A sudden sense of deflation washed over them. It reminded them of Yan Xixi, who had just sped by in her flashy supercar, and this three-story Gold Coast establishment—a luxury specialty store...

Whether she looked haggard, forced a smile, or was deliberately putting on a brave front, it didn’t matter. Regardless of whether Wan Donglin had truly abandoned her, one thing was certain: she no longer needed to worry about the rest of her life.

At the very least, she was much better off than most people.

Especially since she also held a degree from South Country University—a valuable asset.

This was why Huang’s mother was so exceptionally furious, so utterly unable to bear it; it felt as if her heart were bleeding.

Heaven knew how much she wished for this woman to suffer misfortune... Yang Wei getting beaten, she herself being blamed by her husband, growing distant from her son—all of this was Yan Xixi’s fault.

Just like her son’s current silent estrangement.

In fact, her son hadn’t always been like this. He used to be talkative and cheerful, and mother and son had shared an intimate bond. But ever since that fight, their close relationship had vanished. Even when he accompanied her shopping or to meals, it was merely him fulfilling his filial duties out of a sense of obligation.

Her only consolation was Zhou Ting. Oh well, at least she still had Zhou Ting.

She changed her tone. "Has Wan Donglin really left?"

Zhou Ting replied conversationally, "Who knows? Anyway, word has been going around our circle recently that Wan Donglin suddenly went abroad. No one knows where he’s gone. We haven’t seen him for a long time either. Even his close acquaintances don’t know his whereabouts..."

Hearing her tone, Huang’s mother laughed. "He must be trying to get rid of that woman. Otherwise, why would he just leave like that when everything was fine? Didn’t they say the Wan Family had already transferred their assets and left? If he’s gone, he definitely didn’t take her with him."

"These days, women will stop at nothing for money. She’s really something else, managing to get so much money out of Wan Donglin. I heard from Zhou Xiaoxuan that Wan Donglin bought this three-story building for her. It’s entirely in her name. Sigh. Come to think of it, she even got into Harvard. Her cunning must be beyond that of any ordinary woman."

These days, there were countless women cozying up to rich men, and countless more trying to strike it rich.

However, to secure a three-story commercial property in the Gold Coast, a top-tier luxury specialty store at that, probably couldn’t be achieved with good looks alone.

Numerous female celebrities, despite exhausting all their means, hadn’t received such treatment.

Huang’s mother chattered incessantly; the mere thought of such a massive specialty store infuriated her.

Zhou Ting gave a few perfunctory replies. Deep down, she actually felt very uneasy. Wan Donglin had suddenly disappeared. Where on earth could he have gone?
