Chapter 268
268 What Do You Care?
Le Yao looked at Nangong Jue, who had come out to open the door, and frowned slightly. “Say, ex-husband, you’re so rich. Why don’t you hire a few more people to work? Do you need to do such a small thing as opening the door yourself?”
“I’m not a celebrity. There’s no need to hire so many people. Besides, doesn’t hiring people cost money?” Nangong Jue said as he opened the small door.
Hei Ying and the others, who were hiding in the dark, collectively pursed their lips. He told them not to show their faces for no reason, making them look shady.
Le Yao: “…”
This ex-husband seemed to have copied her lines.
“How are you not famous? Go and ask the entire Xiling City. How many people don’t know about your Sir Jue? Especially among women, he’s simply their dream lover. He’s the person they want to marry the most.”
“What about you?”
“Me? Of course I want to. Unfortunately, I’m not recognized, so I can only retreat.”
Nangong Jue was speechless.
“Where’s Aunt Bai? She’s looking for me. Is she around? If she’s not, then I won’t go in.” Le Yao changed the topic. “After all, we have to avoid contact… Ah!” Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled in by the other party. She was shocked and subconsciously crossed her arms and took two steps back. “You… what are you doing?”
She looked like she had met a pervert.
“Don’t worry. I didn’t touch you during our marriage, let alone now.” Nangong Jue looked disdainful. “Don’t look at me as if I’m going to do anything to you.”
“You’re a man. Isn’t it normal for me to have such a reaction?” Le Yao lowered her hand. “But don’t worry. I won’t seduce you in the future, so I definitely won’t be pretentious.”
“Who are you trying to seduce?” Nangong Jue glared.
“Why do you care?”
“I…” Nangong Jue took a deep breath. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Come in and I’ll tell you about the public hearing the day after tomorrow.”
When Le Yao heard this, she stopped being petty and followed Nangong Jue to the study.
Meanwhile, Aunt Bai, who was hiding in the kitchen, pursed her lips and smiled. ‘Young master, I’ve helped you as much as I can. As for whether you can win Young Madam back, it’s up to you.’
In the study, Nangong Jue swept his gaze across Le Yao’s exposed long legs. For some reason, he felt his mouth go dry. He hurriedly looked away and picked up the cup on the table to take a sip of water. Only then did he suppress the frustration in his heart. “The Zhu family has made a move.”
“What?” Le Yao didn’t react.
“Han Guosheng might be ruled innocent. The lawyers the Cui family found this time are very famous in the country. Moreover, they might have already found a scapegoat.”
“Okay, I understand.” Le Yao nodded.
“You don’t seem surprised.”
“What’s there to be surprised about?” Le Yao smiled. “After my mother died, the Cui family still treated Han Guosheng as family. Could it be that they really can’t see through Han Guosheng’s character? I don’t think so. Then they should be involved. In other words, Han Guosheng should have something on the Cui family.” She paused for a moment. “However, I’m most concerned about Yan Zimeng.”
“With so many people dead, it’s impossible for her to escape. She’ll probably be charged with a deferred death sentence, she probably won’t be able to come out for the rest of her life.”
“Then I’m relieved.” Le Yao smiled. “If she continues to get away with it, many people will probably be disappointed in this society.”
