Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 160 - 160 160 Trickery and Deception

Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Trickery and Deception Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Trickery and Deception Such a simple act of ignoring her caused Yin Hehe, who had prepared all afternoon, to feel her heart plummet to the depths again.

And the few little ones beside her, Sheng Xi was the first to notice Daddy’s cold violence. All of a sudden, he stopped eating, his cool little face gloomily staring at Daddy.

“You guys eat up, Xi Bao, do you want a chicken leg?”

Yin Hehe sat down, trying not to let her emotions affect the children.

Fortunately, after the food was served, the man showed no further signs of displeasure.

He ate slowly and deliberately.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe also picked up her chopsticks.

However, she had little appetite for the meal. By the time it was nearly finished, she had only eaten a few bites of food.

“Mommy, we’re finished,” the children announced.

“Okay, then go out and play. Come back later for a bath.”

Yin Hehe immediately stood up and lifted her son and daughter down from their high chairs.

However, when she went to pick up another little one, she found he seemed unwilling to get down.

“Xi Bao? Haven’t you eaten enough?”

“…I have,” the reluctant little one finally mumbled as he was lifted down.

Once the children had left, the dining room fell completely silent.

Yin Hehe had intended to find an opportunity to talk about the auction but, glancing up and catching sight of the man across from her, she found his presence rather daunting.

Forget it, best to talk about it later.

She held back once more.

But at this exact time, Aunt Ke came out, her curiosity peaked by the Colorful Glazed Glass Bottle placed to the side.

“Xiaohan, this bottle looks rather nice. Where did you buy it? I think it would be perfect for keeping oil in our kitchen.”

What?!!

Yin Hehe felt as if struck by a ten thousand tons of force, turning around to see the old maid handling the bottle, and she dashed over, alarmed.

“Don’t touch it! It cost a hundred million to buy!!”

“What? A hundred million?” Aunt Ke’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.

And the man at the table, upon hearing this, finally sat up straight, crossing his legs, picking his teeth, and let out a cold laugh.

Yin Hehe: “…”

Without saying another word, holding the ‘broken glass bottle,’ she approached the patriarch.

“Mr. Sheng, that… the thing I spent… a hundred million on at the auction today is this.”

She handed over the bottle, stammering as she spoke.

The man looked up, and for a moment, under the bright overhead light, his excessively pleasing face seemed to Yin Hehe to reveal a trace of a gentle, jade-like smile.

“Miss Lan, be careful with your words. I never asked you to spend a hundred million on anything. It was a simple gift. Do you think it’s necessary to give such expensive gifts, Miss Lan?”

“…”

Yin Hehe was rendered speechless.

She knew it would be like this!

“I’m very sorry, Mr. Sheng, I… I took matters into my own hands today. It’s my fault, I…”

“Stop!” Before she could finish speaking, she was immediately interrupted by the man.

“Didn’t you hear me clearly? I didn’t ask you to buy this, so you don’t need to apologize to me.”

After saying that, he stood up as if ready to leave.

Yin Hehe was both angry and frustrated.

Finally, as the man was about to step out of the dining room, she followed with the bottle and said, “But if Mr. Sheng hadn’t asked me to go to the auction, I would never have done such a thing!”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, the man immediately stopped in his tracks.

“Are you blaming me?” he asked, his aura suddenly much more dangerous.

Yin Hehe swallowed hard.

“Isn’t that what happened? If you hadn’t forced me to go, how would I have ended up bidding on this thing?”

“Joke, what did I ask you to do? I sent you to the auction, not to start a feud. What on earth did you do there? Don’t you know? To pave the way for Yin Beixiao, you spent a hundred million of my money, Han Lina, you’re really something!”

He finally exploded, a harsh shout grinding out of his mouth, and every single pore of his radiated a chilling and ominous cold!

Yin Hehe was immediately silenced!

Her face shifting between shades of green and white as she looked at this man, at this moment, the inner emptiness finally sapped her of the audacity to argue with him.

Seeing this, the man chuckled coldly, turned around, and walked away.

“Fine, I admit it, I bid on that Colorful Glazed Glass Bottle for my own selfish reasons. Just consider it mine, but if you expect me to return that hundred million, I can’t. I don’t have the money!”

“Thud—”

Those righteous words caused the man who was climbing the stairs to stumble, nearly tripping over himself.

Impressive!

She spends someone else’s money and still has the gall to be so arrogant.

The man, furious to the core, turned around with a laugh-like expression and headed back upstairs.

“That’s easy then. Ms. Blue, the attorney, just sign a contract of servitude with me,” he said.

“What do you mean?”

With just one sentence, the color drained from her face as she stood upstairs.

Sheng Siyuan raised an eyebrow, explaining, “Rest assured, I have no interest in your type of woman. What I mean is for you to work at Shengshi Group. With your abilities, I can offer you an annual salary of twenty million. Just work for five years, and that should suffice.”

He even had the audacity to wear a look of magnanimity.

Yin Hehe finally understood and burst out laughing in frustration.

“Mr. Sheng is playing a clever game here. Are you saying all this was your scheme to force me into your company?”

“What did you say?” His words successfully fueled the man’s anger.

Engulfed in a blaze of fury that surged up from his chest, he said not another half word and stormed upstairs with a grim face.

Yin Hehe: “…”

Could she have misunderstood?

Great, now she had offended that bastard again.

Her entire face fell.

That night, when she returned to the secondary floor, indeed, there were no lights on in the study next door.

Instead, the bedroom that was far away from hers, practically at opposite ends, was lit. It was clear that the bastard didn’t want to be anywhere near her and had retreated to his bedroom.

“Bang!”

Yin Hehe closed her room door in dismay.

Forget it, she’d better go to the antique market tomorrow to see how much that damn bottle could fetch.

Yin Hehe drifted into a restless sleep.

The next morning, when she woke up, the bedroom down the hall was already empty. She stood in a daze for a long time, then, with dark circles under her eyes, she made her way downstairs.

“Captain Xu, may I ask if you know where there is an antique market nearby?”

As luck would have it, she ran into Xu Guannan, who was just about to take Sheng Xi to kindergarten.

“Antique market?” Xu Guannan looked at her.

“Miss Han, are you thinking of selling that glazed bottle? I think you’d better consider it. The market value of that bottle is actually only fifty million at most. It was bid up by you all yesterday. If you sell it now, you could lose fifty million!” the head of security reminded her.

Upon hearing that, Yin Hehe’s mood sank further in the early morning.

“But if I don’t sell it, I can’t repay your CEO’s money. A hundred million!”

“Then why don’t you accept the offer to join the company? Miss Han, forgive my frankness, but actually, this is the most advantageous option for you. If you think the terms the CEO offered yesterday are too harsh, then why not discuss them further?”

Xu Guannan continued to persuade her kindly.

But in reality, he just didn’t want to be inexplicably cursed at again, nor did he want to be hit by objects for no reason.

The cup that struck his hand last night…

So painful!
