Chapter 642 - Unwelcome Face

"It"s not only Jin Liwei who I"m concerned about. Xiulan is also…" Long Hui was about to reveal to his mother and grandaunt that his half-sister was a Cross Academy student and therefore had the backing of the legendary school of geniuses but stopped himself in time.

His pride didn"t allow anyone to view his youngest sister who he was currently at odds with as more superior than him, even to his mother and allies. This was important information but he just couldn"t bring himself to reveal it for fear that Long Meng would turn her back on him and support his half-sister instead to become the next head of the clan and the family business.

"That little s.l.u.t is what? Continue what you"re saying, son," Zheng Suyin prompted him.

Long Meng also waited for him to say more.

However, he only shook his head and swallowed the words that he almost blurted out. "Nothing. Forget it. Just know that Jiang Ying Yue has a strong backing and it won"t be easy for me to get custody of my son."

Zheng Suyin looked at him with obvious disapproval. Long Meng sighed in disappointment.

Long Hui ignored them. His mind was already made up. Even though the odds were against him, he would still fight for his son"s custody.

Seeing the determination in her son"s eyes, Zheng Suyin"s cold heart softened…but only for a little bit. Indeed, if that lowly female bodyguard had the backing of Jin Liwei, then it would be difficult for her son to get custody of that b.a.s.t.a.r.d child. As much as she disapproved of the b.a.s.t.a.r.d, she wouldn"t allow her son to lose against that female bodyguard of poor breeding. If her son couldn"t win in court, there were other ways to get what he wanted. Her eyes flashed with a scheming light.

That weekend, Long Hui dropped off his fiancée at a cosmetic clinic for her monthly body maintenance appointment. As he watched her disappear in the inner rooms of the clinic with the cosmetic nurse, all he could think about was how Jiang Ying Yue had such an amazing fit and muscled body without resorting to costly and artificial procedures like his current fiancée. He mentally scolded himself upon realizing that he was thinking of Jiang Ying Yue yet again.

With a scowl on his face, he left the clinic and headed to the main lobby downstairs using the elevator. The cosmetic clinic was located inside a high-end commercial building. There were other business offices from across different fields in the building, ranging from physicians, dentists, lawyers, private tutoring services, etc.

Once Long Hui arrived in the lobby, an unwelcome face greeted his sight, worsening his mood even further.

Lin Yehan just came out of a business partner"s office when he saw Long Hui. He stopped in his tracks. Then he saw the man glare at him before walking away.

"Wait!" he called out but was ignored. "Mr. Long, wait!" He ran after him.

Long Hui finally stopped and turned back at Lin Yehan. His glare intensified.

"I want to talk to you," Lin Yehan said after catching up to him.

"I don"t want to talk to a cheating snake like you."

"I never cheated, Mr. Long. Please, let"s talk."

Their face-off caught the attention of pa.s.sersby. Long Hui was handsome and had a certain coolness about him a.s.sociated with wealthy young masters. There was something delicate about his features, but it did nothing to lessen the intensity of his glare. On the other hand, Lin Yehan was tall and thin. He wasn"t as good-looking as Long Hui but his gentle expression and amiable aura made him more attractive to other people. There was a sense of stability and comfort in him. Even though Long Hui was trying to kill him with his eyes, Lin Yehan didn"t allow himself to be provoked, maintaining his calm instead.

The two ignored the other people sneaking glances at them. Lin Yehan waited for Long Hui"s response.

"Five minutes," Long Hui finally replied.

Lin Yehan nodded. "Thank you. Follow me."

He led Long Hui outside the commercial building to the café on the other side of the street. Various high-end boutiques sandwiched the cla.s.sy café.

A waiter welcomed the two of them and led them to a nice table by the windows.

"Oolong tea for me, please," Lin Yehan ordered without looking at the menu.

The waiter jotted down his order.

Long Hui looked at the menu. He also planned to order a drink from the tea section. Then he read that all the tea used in the café were from the brand Serenity Premium Tea.

Then he remembered. Serenity Premium Tea was the tea brand his youngest half-sister was endorsing. In addition, it was owned by the scoundrel sitting in front of him. Lin Yehan!

He looked at the f.u.c.ker and glared once again.

"Sir? What would you like to drink?" the waiter asked Long Hui.

"Coffee. Black," he replied with gritted teeth. Even though he wanted to drink tea, there was no way he was going to drink the tea from this f.u.c.ker"s company who tried to steal his woman and child.

The waiter left to prepare their orders, leaving the two of them in an uncomfortable atmosphere.

"Speak. I don"t have time to waste on a cheating snake like you," Long Hui said.

Lin Yehan sighed at Long Hui"s provocation. He didn"t lose his temper.

"Mr. Long, I heard that you saw some photos and videos of Miss Jiang and I together with Little Jun at the mall. I want to tell you that we met each other that day by coincidence. There was nothing dishonourable about our chance meeting. Please remove your suspicions about us. I have no immoral intentions towards Miss Jiang and your son," he explained.
