A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace Chapter 1619 - 1617: Past and Present Lives 55

Chapter 1617

Zhao Junyao sneered coldly.

"Which time?"

Pretending not to understand when you clearly do, huh? Then don’t blame me for being rude.

"It’s... before the notice of Zhao Junqi being transferred back to the headquarters!"

The words were long, and Wanxin’s face stiffened for a long time.

She finally came to her senses after a while, stammering.

"Ah Yao, what are you talking about!"

"What transfer back, I don’t understand, how is this related to Zhao Junqi!"

"Stop kidding, I’ve looked at several wedding dresses. If you have time, let’s go try them on together, okay?" Wanxin’s voice softened, with a hint of supplication.

Zhao Junyao did not respond, just looked at her coldly.

"Do you really not understand?"

Zhao Junyao pulled out his phone and threw the communication records between him and his father in front of Wanxin.

"But my father said!"

"It was you who asked him to transfer Zhao Junqi back!"

"Did you really think you could hide this from me?"

His voice was icy cold, with no warmth or tenderness from the past.

Wanxin was instantly dumbfounded.

"You..."

"How could it be?!"

Planned everything, but underestimated the old man.

Right, it’s normal for him to communicate personnel changes with his own son.

She thought he was too busy studying to care about such matters, thought he wouldn’t mind.

Who would have thought he would ask?

Now the problem arises, what to do, what should she do?

Wanxin bit her lip, might as well tell the ’truth.’

"Ah Yao!"

"We grew up with Junqi after all!"

"Earlier during the New Year, I hadn’t seen him. I heard he’s been stuck in a branch handling trivial tasks, feeling down!"

"I couldn’t help but go to Uncle, asking him to transfer him back. You won’t blame me, right?"

Zhao Junyao was furious.

"You’re still lying now!"

"Can you speak a word of truth?"

"Grew up together? You can actually say this, do you think I lost my memory, that I can’t expose you?"

He stood up and slowly approached her, his gaze cold and direct.

"I never got along with Zhao Junqi! And you’re the same, distancing yourself from them early to marry me!"

"You were spying and eavesdropping in my car, dissatisfied knowing I went to see Xia Ruqing, planning to harm her!"

"You didn’t dare do it yourself, so you turned to Zhao Junqi!"

"Used the transfer back to headquarters as bait to have him deal with Xia Ruqing for you!"

"That’s why you sneaked off to find my father!"

"After the notice of Zhao Junqi’s transfer back to the headquarters was sent out, Xia Ruqing had a car accident!"

"Ha, still in the countryside, still in a secluded place, still without surveillance, the means strikingly similar, do you think I know nothing?"

Each question like a wave of attacks.

The wall in Wanxin’s heart finally couldn’t hold, slowly starting to crack.

She shivered all over, face pale, not knowing where to place her hands and feet.

A loud ’clang,’ the coffee cup tumbled over, rich coffee flowing down the table.

Staining clothes, shattering composure.

"Ah Yao!" She trembled all over, tears streaming.

"Ah Yao, I..."

"I actually... I didn’t, I’m not!" Crying, shaking her head, terrified to the core, her face as white as paper.

Zhao Junyao showed no pity, instead looking at her with a face full of disdain.

"Do you think I’ll believe you?"

"Besides you, who else would dare approach my car so openly!"

"Besides you, who else would cooperate with someone like Zhao Junqi?"

"Besides you, who else would wish for Xia Ruqing’s death so much?"

"You’re truly vicious!"

His face full of disdain, his chest feeling suffocated as if stuffed with something filthy.

Zhao Junyao stood up abruptly, taking off a ring from his ring finger and dropping it on the table.

Leaving a sentence behind.

"We’re finished!" Then turned and walked out in large strides.

...

The engagement between Zhao Group and the Shih Family’s Daughter ended just like that.

The news quickly dominated the front pages of major business newspapers in City Z’s media.

The crowd was in an uproar, buzzing with discussions.

But no matter how big the commotion, it’s all in the past.

This kind of news, like celebrity breakups, infidelities, and betrayals, will be forgotten by the public within days.

After the lunar new year, Xia Ruqing was officially discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home.

It was Zhao Junyao who came to pick her up.

In the hospital bed, he encircled her with his broad chest and strong arms.

Under the enthusiastic gaze of two close friends, he carried her out of the hospital room and into the elevator.

On the way back, Xia Ruqing still felt uneasy.

He carried her for the first time, and for so long. It must be tiring, am I too heavy, what if he has a bad impression of me?

Why does my face feel hot, and my palms are sweaty?? Oh, why so nervous?!

Seated next to her, Zhao Junyao remained calm.

"Are you very hot?"

Xia Ruqing instinctively shook her head.

"Not hot!"

"I’m not hot!"

Zhao Junyao chuckled quietly.

"Then why is your face so red!"

Xia Ruqing: "..."

This guy is doing it on purpose, definitely on purpose.

Her face turned even redder, Zhao Junyao couldn’t help but squeeze it, praising.

"So warm!"

Xia Ruqing: "..."

"Are you crazy!"

The driver and assistant were in the front, Wenwen and Xiaoxiao in the back row, yet he dared to openly... openly!!

Seeing her embarrassment, Zhao Junyao didn’t tease further.

He said calmly.

"Don’t stay in that place anymore!"

"It’s too cramped and not conducive to recovery!"

"I rented you an apartment, with two floors. If you all don’t mind, you can all move in together!"

Before Xia Ruqing could respond, the two in the back inhaled sharply.

"Really?" Wenwen, who had held back the entire way, couldn’t resist anymore.

Zhao Junyao glanced back, smiling.

"Naturally!"

"The three of you are close, it’s good to look out for each other!"

"The doctor said her leg needs at least three months to heal properly! During this time, I’ll rely on you!"

"No problem!" Wenwen patted her chest, taking it upon herself.

Xiaoxiao cautiously probed.

"A two-story apartment, the rent must be high, can it..."

She struggled to speak out.

"Can we get a discount! I..."

Poor girls are often self-conscious, before she could finish, she couldn’t continue.

Zhao Junyao was even more surprised.

"Rent?"

"When did I ask for rent!"

"You can live comfortably, I’ll cover the rent!"

Wenwen exclaimed in delight.

"Really? That’s wonderful!"

Xiaoxiao was embarrassed.

"This... this is really a bit embarrassing!"

If this is meant as thanks, it’s too extravagant.

They’re rich, but it doesn’t mean they should do this!

Zhao Junyao’s next words shocked them even more.

"Don’t worry!"

"You’ve been with my girlfriend for so long, consider it my thanks to you all."

"If you’re uncomfortable living there, how about I buy it for you?!"

Wenwen: "..." A wealthy person is indeed like a wealthy person, please let me hold on to your leg.

Xiaoxiao: "..." Such gestures? Just throwing money around like this?

Xia Ruqing: "..." Since when did I become your girlfriend, you scoundrel!
