Chapter 259 - Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Wishful Thinking _1

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Wishful Thinking _1 Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Wishful Thinking _1 Huo Beijiang was left helpless by his wife’s gaze, finally dragging over a chair to sit in front of her. An audacious flair added to his handsome face, but a flicker of seriousness flashed in his deep eyes.

It disappeared in the blink of an eye, too fast for anyone to catch.

“I’m giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf, to start anew.” Huo Beijiang sat like a grandfather.

Nan Fei’s lips twitched uncontrollably, and the last shred of guilt and unease in her heart was completely stirred away by this jerk.

He always had a way of making you both angry and hateful, yet helpless at the same time.

“So, should I thank you?”

Huo Beijiang waved his hand, “No need, I’m not usually one for grand gestures.”

Nan Fei: “…”

Could this man get any more shameless? What does he mean not one for grand gestures?

“That young man just now, I’ll beat him up each time I see him, I definitely won’t go easy.” As he spoke, he flashed an evil smile, stretching his wrist in seemingly sudden realization.

“Oh! Right, that kid’s family is influential in the province, right? I heard they are quite wealthy, all the more reason to bankrupt them, that’ll teach them.”

He was confident that his wife’s heart would always belong to him and would never have any feelings for that spineless young man.

But the mere thought that his wife might have liked someone else, even briefly, makes his heart feel suffocated. He wished he could vent his rage in fury.

Huo Beijiang knew very well that he was not a generous person. Anyone who dared to invade his territory will face an ill fate.

Now, he’s managed to protect his territory, but his wife has attracted someone else’s attention.

Isn’t this a threat to his life?

Nan Fei burst out laughing, recalling a popular phrase online in her previous life: ‘It’s getting cold, let’s bankrupt Wang Enterprise!’

“What are you laughing at?” Huo Beijiang was worried, wanting to touch her forehead to see if she had a fever. But then he remembered he was still mad at her! So, he restrained himself from moving.

“Nothing!” Nan Fei stifled her laughter, and suddenly had a thought.

In her previous life, she was always there to help Qiao Jingxuan when he took over his family’s company and faced several difficulties. The only person she could ask for help was Huo Beijiang.

He must have known everything from the beginning, but he still indulged her time and again. She didn’t know what he was thinking, but now just thinking about it made her shiver all over.

“Then, let’s bankrupt them!” A ruthless notion flashed across Nan Fei’s mind. After speaking, she quickly added, “I’ll deal with it myself!”

She liked to take revenge with her own hands.

“You?” Huo Beijiang sneered, “You would need a thousand years of practice.”

Out of indignation, Nan Fei grabbed a pillow from the bed and hurled it at him. He easily caught her hand, rubbed it in his palm, his thumb caressing hers intentionally or unintentionally.

“Let go!”

“You seem pretty spirited!” Huo Beijiang laughed with a hint of wickedness.

“You have no right to belittle me!”

“That’s not belittling, but what if you soften up?”

Upon hearing this, Nan Fei snapped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, “I would never soften up, you can rest assured! I don’t like Qiao Jingxuan at all.”

With his sharp gaze, Huo Beijiang swiftly detected the fleeting disgust in her eyes. The man, who was just swimming in a sea of jealousy, had a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
