C22 Who Wants to See You?

Lin Yueer would never have guessed that the person who truly helped Yue Tian Corporation was none other than Xiao Hee, the very man she had so thoroughly dismissed.

"Old Xiao!"

After Xiao Hee left the hotel, Wu Feng and the other two quickly chased after him. Their expressions made it clear they were quite upset.

"Old Xiao, Lin Yueer's behavior was completely out of line. We can't stand by and watch. If you're leaving, then we're leaving with you. Who cares about the Huasheng Hotel? We don't need to eat there. We can just as easily grab a bowl of noodles somewhere else instead of putting up with this treatment," Zhang Qi said indignantly, clearly upset on Xiao Hee's behalf.

"Exactly. We don't need to eat there. Let's just go."

In the end, they were his brothers, always looking out for him, and this brought some comfort to the otherwise disheartened Xiao Hee.

"It's okay. You guys go back. Eat what you need to eat. If someone's offering you a meal, it would be foolish not to take it," Xiao Hee said with a smile, shaking his head. "I really do have some things to take care of. Don't worry about me; I'm fine. You guys go on back."

Although Wu Feng and the others were still somewhat concerned, they decided to respect Xiao Hee's wishes.

Walking alone on the street, Xiao Hee reflected on the past. Before his divorce from Zhang Qian, he would have been with her at this hour. Back then, despite their poverty, they were happy. Zhang Qian was the only woman who didn't care about his status and chose to be with him regardless.

At that time, Zhang Qian was everything to him; his whole world revolved around her.

He couldn't pinpoint exactly when things changed, but the once naive and innocent girl had become someone driven by material gain and vanity.

Maybe people inevitably change. Maybe the three years of hardship with him had finally become too much for her. But regardless, she had betrayed him.

Now, with Zhang Qian gone, he felt a sense of bewilderment. Even though he had reclaimed his original identity, status, and wealth, he felt an emptiness inside, unsure of what to do next.

Just then, Xiao Hee's phone began to ring—it was Mo Chen calling.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Xiao Hee inquired.

"Well, Third Young Master, Mu Tian City Lord, Ji Tiancheng, has heard that you're in Mutian City. He's been pleading with me for a chance to meet you and pay his respects to your esteemed self. He's hoping you'll agree," Mo Chen explained.

Xiao Hee felt a twinge of resignation upon hearing this. He was well aware that his family's influence was widespread throughout Hua Xia, with Mutian City being just one of the many places under their sway. In essence, Mutian City was practically theirs.

That's why, when Xiao Hee had tasked Mo Chen with delivering a warning to the Sky Blue Group, Mo Chen immediately thought of Ji Tiancheng. After all, there's nothing more dependable than having one of your own handle such matters.

"Alright, tell him I agree," Xiao Hee responded. After all, the Mu Tian City Lord was a subordinate of their family, and over the years, he had tirelessly undertaken many difficult tasks for them. Now, he was earnestly requesting a meeting—it was only fair, especially considering his help with the Yue Tian Corporation issue. Refusing was out of the question.

"That's wonderful! I'm sure Ji Tiancheng will be overjoyed to hear this. He's planning to visit you at Feng Yun University today," Mo Chen said, clearly elated.

Xiao Hee's eyes narrowed at the news. "No, don't let him come to Feng Yun University to see me. Have him choose a different location, and I'll go there to meet him," he insisted quickly.

The thought of Ji Tiancheng coming to Feng Yun University to meet him was daunting. Xiao Hee could already envision the commotion it would cause—the spectacle of Ji Tiancheng arriving with a fleet of luxury cars to pick him up would certainly not only stir up the entire university but also send shockwaves through Mutian City.

The Mu Tian City Lord was a figure of considerable stature. If he were to personally show up at Feng Yun University, it would undoubtedly make the front page of Mutian City's news.

Xiao Hee had no desire to reveal his identity so publicly. For the time being, he preferred to keep it concealed, particularly from Zhang Qian, who had caused him such embarrassment. If he were to simply let this slide, could he still call himself a man? Could he still live up to the title of Third Young Master Xiao?

"Why is that so?"

Mo Chen was somewhat perplexed. Ji Tiancheng's decision to meet Xiao Hee at Feng Yun University was meant to highlight Xiao Hee's status and give him the respect he deserved.

After all, it was common knowledge among the Xiao Family that Xiao Hee had been sent to endure a three-year trial in Mutian City. They were also well aware of the indignities he had suffered at Feng Yun University.

But now, it appeared that Xiao Hee had no intention of revealing his identity. Though Mo Chen was confused, he knew better than to question the Third Young Master's instructions.

"Just do as I say."

Xiao Hee instructed.

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll follow your orders. However, meeting Ji Tiancheng in person might unsettle him, given the weight of your identity..."

Mo Chen hesitated, acutely aware of the implications of Xiao Hee's stature.

"It's of no consequence. I'm not bothered by it, so why should he be? We both serve the family; there's no difference between us."

Xiao Hee spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Mo Chen was taken aback. It seemed the three years in Mutian City had indeed changed the Third Young Master significantly.

"Very well, I'll speak to Ji Tiancheng right away."

Mo Chen nodded and ended the call.

A short time later, Mo Chen was on the line again.

"I've spoken with Ji Tiancheng. He's arranged for us to meet at the Imperial Sky Restaurant. Do you need me to arrange transportation for you, Third Young Master?"

Mo Chen inquired.

"That won't be necessary."

Xiao Hee declined and disconnected the call.
