Chapter 181: A Beautiful Gold-Digger Who Wants to Cling to the Rich and Powerful (1)
Yu Zhongyang's face flushed instantly. He pursed his lips, grabbed Jingyu's hand and said, "Answer my question first before you leave."
"You said."
Yu Zhongyang raised his head, stared into her eyes, and asked casually, "Do you like me or not?"
As he asked this question, his heartbeat quickened and his eardrums bulged. He fidgeted like a criminal facing his final trial, his palms sweating.
The waiting time seemed to be infinitely stretched. He was stuck in the gap of time, waiting for a miracle to happen.
"like."
Their eyes intertwined and Yu Zhongyang pulled her hand and squeezed it tighter.
[Ding—The favorability of the mission target, Yu Zhongyang, has increased by 5%. The current favorability is 100%.]
[Congratulations to the host, one of the mission objectives has been completed, and the mission progress has reached one-third. Please keep up the good work.]
Jingyu slowly raised the corners of his lips, and his originally fiery gaze gradually turned cold, calmed down little by little, and then returned to silence.
"That's the answer you wanted to hear, so can you please move aside?"
Yu Zhongyang looked at her blankly.
He was not a fool, so he naturally felt the change in Jingyu's attitude. He felt panicked and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say to make amends.
Jingyu lost her patience and simply stepped over his leg.
Jingyu walked out of the classroom, and after only a few steps, Yu Zhongyang caught up with her from behind.
"Kyoyu! What do you mean?"
Yu Zhongyang caught up with her in a few steps and held her shoulders.
Jingyu looked at him and said calmly, "I made it very clear last time, didn't I?"
"It's just for fun, don't take it seriously."
Yu Zhongyang's eyes suddenly turned red, and he stared at Jingyu intently, afraid to miss any change in her expression.
"Play around? Are you just playing around with me?"
Seeing that he seemed unwilling to believe the reality, Jingyu smiled and said, "Yeah, just for fun."
"There's no way we can have a good outcome. This situation is the best for both you and me, isn't it?"
"I just think you're young and handsome, with a nice figure, and a good bed partner. But since you seem serious, forget it. I don't want to get entangled with anyone too much."
Yu Zhongyang's tone changed, and he seemed to be so angry at Jingyu that he would cry.
He gritted his teeth: "Entangle? You mean I'm entangled with you?"
Jingyu glanced at his hand pressing on her shoulder and smiled faintly: "Who are you to question me now?"
"Have you forgotten what you said before?"
Yu Zhongyang was stunned.
"Big breasts, no brains, big temper."
"vase."
"Beautiful waste."
"Forgot all?"
Jingyu's light words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yu Zhongyang's head hard.
He couldn't believe it and felt dizzy.
Is Jingyu...taking revenge on him?
She must be taking revenge on him!
To avenge the abuse and insults he had hurled at her in the past!
Yu Zhongyang's mouth was dry and he couldn't say a word in defense.
Jingyu turned around and wanted to leave, but Yu Zhongyang chased after her without thinking.
The sound of the bell cleared Yu Zhongyang's mind for a moment, and he quickly said, "I was rude before. I apologize to you."
"I'm sorry, Jingyu, please forgive me, please."
There were real tears in Yu Zhongyang's eyes, which was totally inconsistent with his sharp face. People passing by would stop when they saw him.
Jingyu wasn't having any of this. "Come on, I can't even count on my hands the number of men who've apologized to me."
"Zhang Hengyi, Song Juyuan, and some others whose names I can't remember, all said the same thing to you."
When Zhang Hengyi was mentioned, Yu Zhongyang became even more panicked.
From Jingyu's words, it was obvious that she knew the stakes of the original bet.
"I......"
Yu Zhongyang had no way to defend himself and could only watch Jingyu walk away.
He stood there in a daze, and the old injury on his left foot was aching slightly.

On the other side, Jincheng Law Firm.
Jingxian sat in Liang Heyu's reception room, blowing elegantly on a cup of coffee.
Liang Heyu sat on the single sofa on the other side with an indifferent expression, as if he was keeping people at a distance, but his etiquette was impeccable.
"Miss Jing, are you here for business consultation?"
Jing Xian put down the coffee cup and smiled slightly: "No."
She looked apologetic and said softly, "I came here to ask about my sister... She hasn't contacted our family in a long time. Ever since she caused a scene at home, and made our father so angry that he took blood pressure medication for several days."
"I saw you pick her up that day. Is she okay? If it's convenient, could you please tell her to go home and see her father?"
Liang Heyu lowered his eyes and asked calmly, "Can't you contact her yourself?"
Jing Xian smiled and sighed: "Brother He Yu, to be honest, we have never had a good relationship since we were young. You also know that we have the same father but different mothers. She has always had a lot of opinions about me..."
"She blocked my phone number and messages, so I couldn't get in touch with her."
"She also blocked Jingxiang and Aunt Hu."
Liang Heyu asked: "Why did she do this?"
Jing Xian said helplessly, "She has always had this temper. Maybe it's because my father always said I was her role model, which is why she likes to compare herself to me since she was a child."
Jing Xian glanced at him, secretly observing his expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she slowly said, "Brother He Yu, I'm not quite sure about the relationship between you two. Although it may not be good to say this, I still want to remind you."
"Xiaoyu, maybe she's close to you because of me."
"Because of you?" Liang Heyu frowned.
Jing Xian nodded, then sighed, "Her personality is still like that of a little kid. She always tries to snatch other people's toys away, and if she can't, she'll beg her father to buy her an identical one."
"She approaches you, perhaps to compete with me."
"I don't think this is fair to you."
"So..." Jing Xian said slowly, "I hope I'm overthinking it."
What she said was enough, and Liang Heyu must have understood the meaning.
Jingxian didn't plan to stay long, so she picked up her bag and stood up to leave.
Liang Heyu said, "I will verify this with her."
Jingxian turned around in surprise.
Liang Heyu raised his eyelids and glanced at Jing Xian indifferently. His face showed no emotion. He just said calmly, "I will go find her and ask her myself."
Jing Xian's heart was beating like a drum, and she couldn't even maintain a smile on her face.
She didn't understand why, hadn't she made it clear enough?
Go ask Jingyu, what to ask?
Ask her if her love for him is genuine?
Is Liang Heyu crazy? When has he ever been so attentive to a woman?
Shouldn't we gradually distance ourselves from each other and cut off contact?
Jingxian's hand, hidden beside her body, slowly tightened and hung to one side.
While Jing Xian was stunned, Liang Heyu took a sip of the coffee on the table and said, "There are some things I would rather ask the person involved."
"Miss Jing, take care."
Jing Xian took a breath, then raised her usual gentle smile and said softly: "Okay, maybe Xiaoyu will have a better explanation."
"Thank you for the coffee. I also hope Brother He Yu can help me convey that she can go home to see her father."
