MTLNOVEL Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Dislike Troubles! Sowing Discord Between the Heroine and the Protagonist:
A luxurious Bentley was smoothly driving on the highway.
Zheng Xuelin was still contemplating the scene from his recent meeting with Xu Hao.
Despite his disdain, he couldn’t help but admire Xu Hao’s ability.
Indeed, Xu Hao was a man who could accomplish great things. It was no wonder he had built such a massive business in a short period. Unlike someone like Lu Qinghong, who, despite being honest and hard-working, was now facing the risk of bankruptcy and imprisonment.
Following Xu Hao’s lead, one could effortlessly make a fortune. However, such a person would never let you take advantage of him.
He could endure hardships together but wouldn’t share prosperity.
Swish—
Snapping back to reality, Zheng Xuelin noticed a large truck in front of him suddenly slowing down. Without much thought, he instinctively swerved. As he successfully changed lanes, he saw another large truck extremely close.
It was too late to hit the brakes, so he had to swerve hard. Due to the high speed, the sudden turn caused the car to flip over, crashing through the highway guardrail and rolling several times before stopping.
Zheng Xuelin was covered in blood. He wasn’t completely gone yet, retaining a faint consciousness.
In a daze, he saw someone walk up to him, crouch down, and say in a voice only the two of them could hear, “Mr. Xu asked me to give you a message: ‘Be more aware in your next life.’”
Zheng Xuelin’s pupils dilated suddenly, and his head slumped to the side as he lost consciousness. In his last moments, Xu Hao’s gentle smile appeared in his mind, like a devil’s grin.
After ensuring the target was completely gone, Old Mo quickly disappeared from the accident scene.
“Mr. Xu, it’s been taken care of…” Li Kun respectfully reported Old Mo’s message to Xu Hao. Xu Hao nodded.
Why? Why kill Zheng Xuelin even after he had transferred the shares?
He knew too much. If he revealed the truth to Li Ping and Lu Qinghong, Xu Hao would gain two unnecessary enemies. If Zheng Xuelin exposed everything online, Xu Hao’s carefully crafted image would collapse instantly. He was a ticking time bomb, and keeping him around would cause many problems.
Xu Hao disliked trouble, so he made him disappear for good.
As for retaliation from Zheng Xuelin’s family, the investigation showed that Zheng Xuelin only had one son, who went missing when he was very young. He had no family left to avenge him. There might not even be anyone to collect his body…
Shortly after dismissing Li Kun, Xia Qingge arrived at the office. She looked at Xu Hao, who was sitting at his desk reading documents, with a somewhat resentful expression.
She hadn’t seen Xu Hao for several days. After noticing Xia Qingge’s unusual demeanor, Xu Hao smiled and raised an eyebrow.
“Sigh… Recently, I’ve been having back pain. Qingge, can you give me a massage? I haven’t felt right these past few days without your massages…”
Xia Qingge wasn’t displeased by Xu Hao’s request.
On the contrary, she was pleased. It showed that Xu Hao hadn’t forgotten about her. She obediently walked behind Xu Hao and began to gently massage him.
“Qingge, your skills are getting better…” Xu Hao exhaled and let out a comfortable sigh.
Xia Qingge smiled at his response, feeling her efforts over the past few days had paid off.
“Uncle Xu, it seems you haven’t been in the office recently…” She spoke with an indescribable sense of longing.
Xu Hao calmly explained, “It’s because my youngest two daughters are home. They couldn’t get used to living at school and decided to move back home. I’ve been helping them get settled these past few days.”
So, he was with his daughters.
Xia Qingge felt a bit relieved, but still pouted. “I thought Uncle Xu was out on a date with Teacher Wang…”
Ever since Chen Mo had mentioned Xu Hao and Teacher Wang going on a date and hugging, Xia Qingge had felt uneasy. Although she trusted Xu Hao’s character, she couldn’t help but complain, hoping for an explanation.
[Ding! Xia Qingge feels wistful, emotion points +888]
Teacher Wang? A date?
Xu Hao quickly figured out what was going on.
It was probably Chen Mo stirring trouble in front of her, causing this little girl to get jealous. But this was good—jealousy indicated his strategy was working.
“You’re talking about Teacher Wang Xueying, right? She’s my daughters’ teacher. Last time I took my daughters to school, we happened to meet, so I invited her to lunch to ask her to take care of my daughters. That was our first meeting and first meal together…”
After a pause, he pretended to have a sudden realization.
“Was it that student Chen who told you this? When we left the restaurant, Teacher Wang didn’t notice the step in front of her and almost fell. I just helped her up. At that moment, Chen rushed up to help her, but I got to her first. Maybe he misunderstood because he saw me holding her.”
“Teacher Wang and I explained it to him at the time. Why is he still spreading rumors?”
While explaining, Xu Hao didn’t miss the chance to sow discord.
In her mind, Xia Qingge pictured the scene:
She saw Teacher Wang Xueying and Xu Hao leaving the restaurant, Teacher Wang nearly falling, and Xu Hao stepping in to help her up before Chen Mo could.
It was a simple act of helping someone.
Chen Mo’s jealousy twisted into something more, and turned into a lunch invitation into a so-called date?
This was clearly a distortion of the truth! Xia Qingge already disliked Chen Mo for talking badly about others behind their backs, and now she was entirely convinced against him. Her mood brightened completely, feeling relieved and happy.
