Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 166: What Do You Mean?

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: What Do You Mean?

"I really saw it, I’m not talking nonsense," Liang Zheng dodged the flying chips and raised his phone: "I have a photo as proof."

"Enough, shut up," Tang Jingyao felt this kid couldn’t tell right from wrong.

Couldn’t he see that Fu Xingzhou was trying to distance himself from Ye Yan?

To cut someone out of your heart requires enough time and courage.

Not to inquire about her news, not to imagine her face, that’s how you gradually strengthen your resolve.

But here’s Liang Zheng, not only bringing a girl who looked like Ye Yan to please Fu Xingzhou but now talking about Ye Yan finding someone else.

He wasn’t helping his second brother; he was blatantly provoking him.

Sure enough, Fu Xingzhou’s face turned grim: "Give me the photo."

Liang Zheng made an "I told you I wasn’t lying" face at Tang Jingyao.

Smug, he almost sent Tang Jingyao packing.

The Liang family parents were in good health. If they were of the right age too, might as well consider having another child.

Liang Zheng scurried over to Fu Xingzhou, flipping through his phone for the photo he’d taken that day.

In the photo, Fu Xingzhou recognized the person, Dr. Ye’s colleague, that Dr. Chai.

"Second brother, I’m telling you, at that moment, I saw Dr. Ye leaning into that guy’s arms. Geez, my temper flared up, how could I just stand there, so I swung a punch," Liang Zheng excitedly recounted the day’s events, "I was about to land that punch on him, but then Dr. Ye blocked it, can you believe it, Dr. Ye, protecting that pretty boy like that..."

"What did you just say?" Fu Xingzhou suddenly looked up.

"I said that pretty boy..." Liang Zheng, too excited before, realized he had slipped up, "That pretty boy was a real piece of work, deserved to be hit."

"That punch of yours, did it hit Ye Yan?" Fu Xingzhou’s expression became even more terrifying.

"I- I didn’t mean it, second brother, I wanted to hit that pretty boy, who knew Dr. Ye would suddenly jump in..."

Bang!

Before Liang Zheng could finish speaking, he got punched in the face.

The punch made stars appear in his eyes, and before he could recover, another punch followed swiftly.

Liang Zheng fell toward the gambling table, and as he crashed, the chips scattered all over the floor with a loud clatter.

The croupier didn’t dare to make a sound, staying far away.

"Second brother, I was wrong," Liang Zheng pleaded urgently, "I realize my mistake, don’t hit me."

Fu Xingzhou stepped forward, grabbed Liang Zheng by the collar, lifting him up, his narrow eyes fiery red with rage, "I can’t even bear to touch her, what gives you the right?"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong," Liang Zheng was close to crying from fear.

Fu Xingzhou might have a bad temper, but he was always restrained in front of these people.

Besides mocking him a few times, he never laid a hand on anyone.

This was the first time Liang Zheng had seen him lose his temper this badly, he was utterly terrified.

Cursing his own loose lips, why did he have to speak about this?

"It wasn’t on purpose, stop hitting him," Tang Jingyao stepped in to separate them, giving Liang Zheng a look.

This time Liang Zheng wasn’t foolish, he quickly ran behind He Xuan for cover.

"Second brother, I was wrong, however you want to punish me, I’ll accept," he only could speak softly now, otherwise Fu Xingzhou had plenty of ways to make him suffer.

Fu Xingzhou shook his aching fist and gave Liang Zheng a cold look.

Liang Zheng shrank his head like a turtle, and even He Xuan didn’t move, not daring to utter a word.

"The resort is opening soon, go over and help."

"Huh?"

Liang Zheng grimaced.

The resort lay within a valley, typically only staffed, indeed a place with no village in front and no store behind.

"Am I the only one going?"

"Who else do you want to bring?"

He Xuan was so scared he dared not even breathe, terrified that Liang Zheng would get him into trouble.

That kind of place where birds don’t lay eggs and rabbits don’t poop might be fine for a visit, but working there would suffocate them.

Accustomed to a life of luxury and pleasure, these rich young masters really struggle with loneliness.

For these scions of wealthy families, such punishment is indeed the most unbearable.

"Fine, I’ll go." Liang Zheng no longer dared to talk back, or else he’d be thrown out of the country to a truly desolate place, where no cries for help would be heard.

Seeing that he was admitting his mistake with a good attitude, Fu Xingzhou didn’t bother to argue further and left the casino directly.

Tang Jingyao followed along, "Two blue lobsters were air-shipped to Jiua today; do you want to try them? We could ask the chef to make lobster porridge for you."

Fu Xingzhou glanced sideways at him, "You’re not scheming like that brat, are you?"

"If it’s just inviting you for a lobster, that’s all there is. But if you insist I have an ulterior motive, then I guess I do." Tang Jingyao shrugged his shoulders.

The two arrived at Jiua, where the manager led them to a private room prepared in advance.

"Mr. Tang, should we serve the dishes now? The lobsters have already been caught."

Tang Jingyao pulled out a cigarette from his case, "We can’t eat two, send one to Room 6."

Knowing who was in Room 6, the manager nodded immediately, "Right away."

After the door closed, Fu Xingzhou looked at him with confusion, "What are you doing?"

Previously, Liang Zheng relentlessly challenged his limits and ended up getting beaten up.

He thought Tang Jingyao had been trying to stop it, surely understanding his mindset.

But he turned around and brought him to Jiua for a meal because Ye Yan happened to be here.

"I don’t mean anything." Tang Jingyao placed a cigarette in his mouth, "It depends on what you want."

Fu Xingzhou picked up a glass of water and took a sip, remaining silent.

Tang Jingyao wanted to see if he truly had made up his mind.

Now Ye Yan was within arm’s reach; would he resist the urge to look at her?

Sometimes, constant avoidance isn’t the solution, facing the vulnerabilities at the heart of the issue is the real cure.

Ye Yan was talking with Xiao Xiao when the manager knocked and entered, followed by several servers carrying plates.

"Miss Ye, hello, this is a blue lobster gifted by our boss, prepared in different flavors for you and your friend to enjoy."

Everyone was surprised to hear this.

The owner of Jiua should be surnamed Tang, a well-known name in Ao City.

The Tang Family’s enterprises; Jiua was just one piece of a vast empire.

"Dr. Ye, do you know the owner of Jiua?" Xiao Xiao’s eyes widened.

Ye Yan didn’t know where to start and hadn’t expected Tang Jingyao to make such a high-profile gesture.

Actually, she had no relation with Fu Xingzhou now, he didn’t need to do this.

"Please thank Mr. Tang for me, but there’s no need for gifts. I’ll pay the original price."

"Miss Ye insisting on this would put me in a difficult position," the manager said politely. "Please accept this small token from the boss."

"Is Mr. Tang here?"

"The boss is dining in Room 8, I won’t disturb you further." The manager smiled and led his staff out.

What was Tang Jingyao’s intent, sending over lobster deliberately and hinting that he was in Room 8? Was there something he wanted to discuss with her?
