Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Deliberate Provocation

While the two were speaking, Xia Ning had not interrupted, but her complexion was looking extremely ugly, anger blazing through the ferocity in her eyes as if she wished she could directly devour Bai Wei alive.

Seeing He Xing being rendered speechless, her anger surged even more. "Bai Wei, no matter what you say, He Xing is still your cousin. Can’t you speak in a less offensive manner? If others heard this, they might again say you lack manners."

"What does my manners have to do with you?" Bai Wei became furious and didn’t care about holding back anymore; she went straight up to Xia Ning and said coldly, "You have manners? If you really had manners, you wouldn’t have had your assistant seduce my boyfriend."

Xia Ning’s face underwent several changes in an instant, and after a few seconds, she spoke with difficulty, "I have no idea what you’re talking about."

"No idea?" Bai Wei snorted coldly, her beautiful face like frost overtaking snow, "Qin Xiaonian went to prison first blaming you for the things she did, then she changed her story, claiming it had nothing to do with you, that she was just too fond of Luo Qinghe; I’ve checked, not long after the premiere, Qin Xiaonian’s personal account received five million, transferred from a subsidiary of the Xia Group. And you still dare to say this has nothing to do with you?"

Xia Ning’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant; she violently turned her head to look at He Xing. "Cousin He Xing, listen to me, it’s really not what you think, I... I don’t know what’s going on, I need to go check it out."

"All right, then I will wait for the results of your investigation," He Xing’s complexion wasn’t looking good either, and he said each word deliberately, "You’d better not think about brushing me off on this."

Xia Ning nodded frantically, too afraid to say another word, yet her mind was racing, considering how to resolve the situation.

On the other side, He Xing returned his attention to Bai Wei. "And don’t think about brushing me off either; contact your parents now, have them send you their location, the reason... just say you have something to mail to them."

Fu Han had specifically instructed Bai Wei not to reveal her whereabouts to He Xing.

Bai Wei blinked her large eyes and said with a smile, "He Xing, considering you’re my actual brother, I’ll tell you the truth. Fu Han has someone pursuing her now, you should cherish what’s before you, and live a good life with Xia Ning."

"What did you say?" He Xing forced the words through his teeth, flames seemingly burning in his black pupils.

Bai Wei plainly sensed an overwhelming coldness coming over her, but still, she said with calm, "The honest truth is, I had a video chat with Fu Han last night, it was early morning there, and she was going to watch the sunrise with a guy who’s even more handsome than you. Isn’t it obvious there’s something going on?"

"What’s the man’s name, and what does he do?" He Xing immediately inquired, his handsome face really resembling an ice sculpture.

Bai Wei spread her hands and shrugged, "To be frank, I’d love to know too, but they didn’t tell me. My advice to you is to let Fu Han go; she’s forgotten you, let her live her own life."

The words fell without stirring a ripple.

If it weren’t for the dropping temperature in the room, Bai Wei would have doubted whether He Xing was even listening to her.

Whether it was Bai Wei or Xia Ning, they both knew He Xing was truly angry, and now even if they were offered a hundred times their courage, they wouldn’t dare say another word.

Bai Wei’s phone vibrated; she took it out and saw a photo sent by Luo Qinghe, showing her where she was.

She sneakily glanced at He Xing and noticed that he was staring out the window in a daze, not paying attention to her; she took the chance to slip away while he was distracted.

It wasn’t until she got into the elevator that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, not realizing when her back had become damp with sweat.

...

The movie theater.

While eating popcorn, Bai Wei told Luo Qinghe about what had happened in the ward.

On the huge screen, the male and female leads were experiencing a life-and-death separation, the woman’s cries earth-shattering, the blood on her face so real that it made Luo Qinghe feel a bit uncomfortable physically.

He turned his gaze slightly away from the screen to look at Bai Wei; her face was clear under the dim light, her features distinct, like a shining gem in the darkness.

Luo Qinghe casually wrapped an arm around Bai Wei’s waist and laughed, "I saw them on the video chat yesterday too. I don’t think Fu Han likes that guy. Why did you say that to He Xing?"

"Of course, I had to make it sound serious." Bai Wei leaned her head against Luo Qinghe’s shoulder and said proudly, "I just don’t like the way He Xing acts, as if he has Fu Han wrapped around his finger. I know Fu Han likes him, and I don’t know why she would go with my parents, but it must have been because he did something to hurt her, so she acted that way."

"So, you purposely provoked He Xing?" Luo Qinghe chuckled, "You’re quite the clever one. But with He Xing not knowing their address, how is he going to find Fu Han?"

"I don’t buy his act." Bai Wei stuck out her tongue and said with a look of disdain, "He Group might only be famous domestically, but if He Xing wants to investigate, he has many ways to do so. It just depends on how far he’s willing to go for Fu Han."

...

The ward of the He Family patriarch.

By the time He Xing came to his senses, Bai Wei had already snuck away, leaving only Xia Ning looking worried, and he unceremoniously ordered her away to clear up the matter with Qin Xiaonian.

Then He Xing took out his phone and sent a Whatsapp video message to Bai Qian.

It rang for a long time before it was answered, unsurprisingly to darkness, but Bai Qian’s voice, though clearly groggy, was nonetheless furious, "He Xing, you little bugger, do you even know what time it is? You start a video call without even checking the time?"

He Xing waited for her to finish complaining before speaking, "Aunt, I need to see Fu Han immediately."

"She’s asleep," Bai Qian said from her bed, reluctant to move and rejecting him outright, "Call again in the daytime. Again..."

"No, it has to be now, it’s something really important," He Xing said in a rush, fearing Bai Qian would actually hang up, "It’s related to Grandfather."

Knowing about the He Family patriarch’s surgery, which was risky due to his age and the fact it was neurological, Bai Qian snapped awake, flung the covers off, and without even bothering to put on shoes, dashed barefoot toward Fu Han’s room.

"Fu Han, get up quick, Grandfather He is calling for you, hurry!"

The next second the door to the room opened from the inside, and Fu Han, also barefoot, asked, "Aunt, where’s Grandfather He? How is he?"

"Video, he’s in the video," Bai Qian said, thrusting the phone into Fu Han’s trembling hand.
