Chapter 159: Chapter 145: Harassed by a Rich Second Generation

"Yes, I like it." Fang Anning answered while looking into his eyes.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it!

Because she saw his eyes suddenly change, as cold as ice.

"Fang Anning, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?" He Tingchen asked coldly, clenching his fists.

Fang Anning pursed her lips. The words were already spoken, like water that has been splashed out and couldn’t be taken back.

She gritted her teeth and continued stubbornly, "Fine then, kill me. It’s been a surprise from the start that I could live under your hands. Having lived this long is already a bonus for me. If you’ve got the guts, kill me and the child in my womb as well."

He Tingchen gnashed his teeth and finally couldn’t hold back a punch.

Fang Anning was so frightened that she immediately closed her eyes.

But the expected pain didn’t come, and when she opened her eyes, she saw He Tingchen, who was very close, looking at her, his eyes dark and deep like an abyss.

She turned her head and glanced at her right side.

He Tingchen’s fist was still pressed against the wall to her right, his fresh red blood trickling down the snow-white wall.

Fang Anning’s face turned pale with fright, and she quickly grabbed his hand and asked, "Are you injured?"

"Don’t worry about it." He Tingchen finally snapped back to reality, shook her off, and coldly turned to leave.

With each step he took, a drop of blood would fall.

Fang Anning couldn’t help but bite her lip and immediately shouted to Mrs. Chen, "Mrs. Chen, Mr. He is injured, hurry up and bandage him."

She didn’t know if Mrs. Chen had listened to her and bandaged He Tingchen’s wound or not, but by the time she went downstairs, He Tingchen had already left.

Fang Anning leaned on her waist and asked Mrs. Chen, "Has he left?"

Mrs. Chen coldly nodded, her gaze not as friendly as before.

Fang Anning bit her lip and inquired, "Did you bandage him?"

"Mr. He didn’t allow it, he left by car," Mrs. Chen replied icily.

Fang Anning felt a tightness in her chest and touched it, saying, "You don’t have to speak to me with such sarcasm. Do you really think this is my fault? It was clearly him using me. Even if you are biased, you shouldn’t treat me with this attitude."

"Madam, since you and Mr. He are still husband and wife, I will still address you as ’madam.’ There are many things you don’t know the truth of, and to decide that it’s Mr. He using you, isn’t that too rash?"

"Rash? Knowing the truth? What other truth is there for me to know?" Fang Anning asked.

Mrs. Chen stopped talking and lowered her head in silence.

Fang Anning said, "Speak up!"

Mrs. Chen said, "Mr. He instructed me not to say, so if you want to know, you should find out on your own."

After that, Mrs. Chen turned and walked away.

Fang Anning bit her lip and wondered what truths could have caused her misunderstanding with He Tingchen.

Could it be that the little boy wasn’t He Tingchen’s son?

But that’s impossible. If he wasn’t He Tingchen’s son, what would be the need for her to become pregnant? And there was no need for the umbilical cord blood of the child in her womb either.

Or was it?

Fang Anning just couldn’t figure it out, she sighed agitatedly, and went back to lie down in bed to rest.

He Tingchen had been gone for a week again, and his scandal with Cheng Wanbai continued to spread wildly.

They even appeared together at several events.

It’s well known that He Tingchen never agreed to show up in front of the media, but this time, because of Cheng Wanbai, he appeared in front of the public media twice, allowing many people to see the true face of the legendary terrifying King of Hell CEO.

He was unexpectedly handsome and eye-catching, even more so than popular male celebrities.

"Just now there’s a director who asked me if you wanted to debut, he would tailor-make a movie for you," Cheng Wanbai said smilingly to He Tingchen.

He Tingchen kept a cold face and ignored her; such a foolish question was beneath his dignity to answer.

Cheng Wanbai, being brushed off, could only smile awkwardly.

However, she quickly spoke to herself, "He’s also confused, considering your status, how could you possibly debut."

"What are you doing? Let go of me."

Suddenly, there was a commotion in a corner of the hall.

He Tingchen didn’t care; other people’s affairs had nothing to do with him.

But when Cheng Wanbai glanced over there, she remarked, "It seems to be Li Xiaoxiao."

Upon hearing Li Xiaoxiao’s name, He Tingchen’s eyes deepened, and after a moment of silence, he walked over.

It turned out that a scion from a conglomerate was also invited to the party, which mostly consisted of businessmen or stars, particularly female stars.

This rich second-generation heir came with the intention of flirting with one or two female stars.

Now, seeing the beautiful and charming Li Xiaoxiao today, he couldn’t hold back any longer and, under the pretense of discussing a movie, lured her into this secluded corner with the intention of making advances.

Li Xiaoxiao had been in the entertainment industry for so long that she was very clear about the circle’s ways.

From the onset, she could tell that this rich second-generation had no good intentions, but for the sake of more resources, she endured it. She expected that with her clear stance, he would not dare to act recklessly, and moreover, it was in such a public place, how could he dare to act inappropriately.

But who would have thought, with lust clouding his mind, his words failed to entice and he actually dared to make a physical move, reaching out to touch Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao was unwilling to accept it, and in her rage, she raised her hand and slapped him hard.

The second-generation rich kid also got angry and raised his hand to slap Li Xiaoxiao back, cursing her furiously, "What trash! You’re just a lowly actress. It’s your good fortune that I took a fancy to you. You actually dare to hit me? Believe it or not, I can get you blacklisted and ensure you never make it in this circle again.

Li Xiaoxiao clutched her face, looking at him both furiously and shamefully, enduring his insults.

None of the people around were willing to help her.

She had come with the company executives this time, thinking that after leaving her company, she would definitely get good resources. But how could it be easy for an artist who parachuted in, especially one who has been abandoned by Huayu, to acquire resources?

On arrival, the executives had instructed her to latch onto one or two big shots no matter what, to pull in as many resources as possible.

Now that she had provoked this rich second-generation, the executives were likely fuming. They might as well have wanted to slap her too; they wouldn’t help her.

Seeing that no one was paying her any attention, the rich kid grew even more arrogant.

After slapping her, he decided to give a sweet date, smiling and saying, "Xiaoxiao, it’s because I like you that I want to support you. Just be obedient and smart. With my protection in this circle, what do you have to worry about?"

Saying so, he reached out to wrap his arm around her waist.

Li Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth with hatred but stood there, not daring to make another move.

The executive who had brought her gave her a stern look, warning her to be sensible.

She knew that if she couldn’t secure resources this time, she would be completely finished in this circle.

"You’ve become obedient now. A girl needs to experience some things to grow up," said the rich kid as he finally placed his hand on Li Xiaoxiao’s waist, lowering his head and laughing while complimenting her.

However.

"Ah, who the fuck hit me?"

Suddenly pulled away, the rich kid was punched by someone. He was dumbfounded for a long while before he angrily demanded to know who it was.

"It was me," said He Tingchen coldly.

The rich kid hurriedly looked at him and immediately turned pale when he saw who it was.

"Mr. He?"

"It’s rare that you recognize me," He Tingchen said coldly.

The rich kid looked at him, covering his face awkwardly, then glanced at Li Xiaoxiao nearby.

Li Xiaoxiao was looking at He Tingchen in shock, but she didn’t dare to speak to him.

He Tingchen glanced at Li Xiaoxiao, then coldly said to the rich kid, "You said you want to blacklist her?"

The rich kid quickly understood the situation and immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No, no, I was just joking. How could I dare to blacklist one of Mr. He’s people."

"Good that you know," He Tingchen said coldly.

Then he turned to Li Xiaoxiao and said, "I’ll take you home."

"Ah?" Li Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and followed him to leave.

He Tingchen personally escorted Li Xiaoxiao away, which surprised many onlookers.

Especially the directors and producers, who weren’t familiar with Li Xiaoxiao, couldn’t help but pay her more attention due to this incident.

The company executive who brought Li Xiaoxiao was sweating profusely.

Indeed, it was He Tingchen who had recommended Li Xiaoxiao initially, but after her arrival, He Tingchen had not looked after her.

Plus, with the recent rumors regarding He Tingchen and Cheng Wanbai, they thought that He Tingchen had long given up on Li Xiaoxiao, so they ignored her.

They hadn’t expected that Li Xiaoxiao was still a favorite of He Tingchen’s heart, and he even personally took her home.

He regretted not having catered better to Li Xiaoxiao earlier, giving her more resources.

Cheng Wanbai clenched her fist in secret after seeing the scene.

These foolish people, what is Li Xiaoxiao in He Tingchen’s eyes to earn his regard?

The only reason He Tingchen would bother to help Li Xiaoxiao was because of Fang Anning, right?

In the end, He Tingchen still had her in his heart!

"Mr. He, thank you for stepping in today."

On their way, Li Xiaoxiao thanked He Tingchen while slightly turning towards him.

He Tingchen had already closed his eyes to rest and responded with a faint "hmm" upon hearing her words.

Li Xiaoxiao bit her lip and gazed at his handsome face as if she wanted to say something but didn’t dare.

Perhaps it was her gaze that lingered on He Tingchen for too long, because even with his eyes closed, he could feel her staring at him.

So, He Tingchen quickly opened his eyes and looked at her with a cold gaze, asking, "Is there something?"

"Mr. He helped me because of Anning, right?" Li Xiaoxiao said.

He Tingchen remained silent, his eyes growing deeper.

Li Xiaoxiao continued, "It must be because of Anning. Otherwise, why would Mr. He be willing to help someone like me? So, Mr. He does have feelings for Anning, right?"

"It’s none of your business," He Tingchen said coldly.

Li Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. He, I know this matter is none of my business, and you might not want to hear what I have to say. But Anning and I have grown up together since we were children; I know her personality and temperament well. If you really have feelings for her, I still hope you will let me finish. I always feel that there is a misunderstanding between you. With your intelligence, are you willing to lose someone you care about over a misunderstanding?"

"What do you want to say?" He Tingchen asked.
