Chapter 157: Chapter 157 I Will Definitely Win
"Xiaofeng, where are you going?"
Despite being treated this way by Huang Dingfeng, Chen Hongying was not angry but rather worriedly followed him.
However, Huang Dingfeng completely ignored Chen Hongying and briskly shook off her hand.
"You brat, stop right there!"
Wang Hao, standing behind them, could not stand it any longer, so he bellowed at Huang Dingfeng’s retreating back, startling Huang Dingfeng enough to stop in his tracks.
Chen Hongying was also taken aback.
She herself had been attentive and ingratiating to Huang Dingfeng, almost ready to offer him her own heart, yet not only did he not appreciate it, but he also often talked back to her and sometimes even hid to avoid seeing her.
But what on earth had Wang Hao done to him? Not only did Huang Dingfeng recognize Wang Hao as his elder brother, but he also obediently followed his every command.
"Though you’re still underage, you’re already a young man. Can’t you just talk things out face to face with your mom? Why run away?"
Wang Hao glared at Huang Dingfeng and said.
"I..."
Huang Dingfeng was about to say something, but upon seeing Chen Hongying’s worried expression, he felt annoyed and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Wang Hao had noticed the barriers between this mother and son before, but only today did he realize the divide between them was deep, and now Chen Hongying seemed to have an even greater grievance against him.
Originally, Wang Hao had planned to drop Huang Dingfeng off and leave, but seeing their strained relationship, he worried that after he left, Huang Dingfeng might run off impulsively and something unexpected could happen, so he decided to stay.
"Wang Hao, what exactly have you done to my son? Why is he so scared of you?" freewebnσvel.cѳm
Chen Hongying felt something was off, so she turned her head and shouted at Wang Hao.
"What could I possibly do? If I had really done something to him, would I bother bringing him back myself?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Wang Hao was baffled, feeling that despite his good intentions, Chen Hongyin not only failed to appreciate them but was now directing all her hostility toward him.
"This is a family matter of ours, and it’s not your place as an outsider to show false sympathy here!"
Chen Hongying always suspected that Wang Hao had ulterior motives in bringing her son back and so she snorted coldly.
"Stop pretending here, I know all about it. You’re trying to get information about my company through my son. If you’re really capable, compete with me openly instead of resorting to these underhanded tactics!"
Wang Hao burst into a wry smile upon hearing this. Chen Hongying was completely misunderstanding him.
But Wang Hao also detected a deeper meaning in Chen Hongying’s words; she now regarded him as a competitor.
Keep being smug, keep being arrogant!
Wang Hao silently made a resolution. His next goal was to strive to acquire Chen Hongying’s company and its allies.
Have his company take over hers and thus become the biggest traditional Chinese medicine company in Chicheng County, by then, It would be too late for Chen Hongying to even cry about it.
"Director Chen, you sure are confident, but do you know? Excessive self-confidence can lead to losing oneself. You just wait, I’ll certainly show you what real strength is, what true power is!"
Having said that, Wang Hao then pointed at Huang Dingfeng beside her and continued.
"In the future, please ensure you keep an eye on your own son and don’t let him follow me around like a shadow, or others might mistake it for you trying to beat me by planting your own son by my side!"
"You... you’re talking nonsense!"
Chen Hongying was fuming with rage.
Huang Dingfeng was her precious son; she was reluctant to even let him help at her company, so how could she use him, planting him beside Wang Hao as an undercover agent?
However, Chen Hongying also understood that if it really was as Wang Hao said, that Huang Dingfeng was following Wang Hao on his own initiative.
Then, if she defeated Wang Hao one day, others would also say she had used her son to create chaos around Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao, wait and see, I will win and make you admire me so much you bow before me!"
Chen Hongying made a silent resolution in her heart.
Wang Hao simply didn’t have the spare time to argue with Chen Hongying here, and hurried away after saying what he wanted to say.
He had already been delayed for some time and now had to rush back to pick up Qi Shihan.
After Wang Hao left, Chen Hongying offered to drive Huang Dingfeng home, but Huang Dingfeng adamantly refused her offer.
Unable to persuade Huang Dingfeng, Chen Hongying gave him some money and let him take a taxi back home.
For her cherished son, Chen Hongying didn’t know how many tears she had secretly shed, but the relationship between mother and son remained just as stiff and showed no sign of easing.
Back in her office, Chen Hongying was still very upset and sadly took out a photograph from her desk drawer.
The man in the picture was wearing military attire, handsome and rugged.
"I’m sorry, I haven’t taken good care of our son!"
After speaking, Chen Hongying began to sob while holding the photo.
As she thought of many unforgettable past events, tears streamed down like rain.
"Ah Ying, I’m back!"
Just as Chen Hongying was crying, Qin Xi knocked on the door a few times, and when no one answered, he walked straight in.
Chen Hongying quickly put the photo back in the drawer; it was her secret, one she had told to no one. Not even Qin Xi, whom she had been intimate with, knew, let alone Huang Dingfeng.
Chen Hongying hurriedly wiped her tears before lifting her head to look at Qin Xi.
"Ah Ying, why are you crying?"
Even though the tears were wiped away, Qin Xi noticed Chen Hongying’s red eyes and immediately walked to her side with concern, cupping her face in his hands and asking.
"Is it Little Feng who’s made you angry again?"
Without waiting for Chen Hongying’s response, Qin Xi asked another question and pulled her into his arms.
"This boy is so big now but still can’t ease our worries. He gets you upset all the time. We should pay more attention to him from now on. Little Feng is in his adolescence."
"I went to Zao City and met with Little Feng’s school principal. He told me Little Feng has often been skipping classes. I was about to ask if you would like us to visit the school together?"
Qin Xi spoke as if he cared a lot for Huang Dingfeng, to the point where anyone who didn’t know might think Huang Dingfeng was his son.
"No need, he’s already returned home!"
Chen Hongying sighed involuntarily and with a frown continued to speak.
"I have no idea when he started hanging out with Wang Hao!"
Wang Hao?
Qin Xi was shocked upon hearing this and frowned, remaining silent.
He had long figured out the relationship between Wang Hao and Akun and had heard Chen Hongying speak before about finding a way to take down Wang Hao.
Now, having heard that Wang Hao and Huang Dingfeng had gotten together, Qin Xi suddenly decided not to tell Chen Hongying about Wang Hao’s connection with Akun just yet, to keep her from worrying.
However, deep inside, Qin Xi slowly began to scheme.
"Ah Ying, let me tell you some good news,"
After speaking, Qin Xi released Chen Hongying and handed her a document from his bag.
