One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 195: Chapter 172: There’s Still Such a Fool

The couple glanced at each other.

They had never expected this.

In the world, there really were such fools!

The drooling idiot from their village, when someone asked him for candy, even he knew how to protect his food.

And yet, these city folks were so generous?

It seemed they should have tried their luck in the city long ago. If they had, they might have become wealthy by now.

The woman’s eyes rolled around for a while before she suddenly said, “Miss Tong mentioned before about arranging a villa for us. Mr. Yue, you’re so rich, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Yue Heng’s expression turned sour, and he couldn’t help but glance at Tong Simeng.

Tong Simeng was also taken aback and quickly said, “I meant for the Ye Family to arrange it, not Yue Heng.”

“Oh,” the woman said. “Is it because Mr. Yue isn’t as impressive as the Ye Family?”

Tong Simeng couldn’t help but argue, “How could that be possible!”

The woman suddenly held back her words as if she had something to say but stopped herself.

She seemed to say nothing, but in reality, she had said everything.

“Don’t worry, the Yue Family is by no means inferior to the Ye Family,” Tong Simeng said. “The villa will be arranged for you.”

To everyone’s surprise, Tong Simeng readily agreed.

Yue Heng’s expression grew even more glum.

“Yue Heng, that’s okay, isn’t it?” Tong Simeng asked.

Yue Heng forced a smile. “As long as you’re happy.”

He still had feelings for Tong Simeng, and moreover, he hadn’t abandoned the idea of using her to steal confidential information. For now, of course, he had to indulge her.

Tong Simeng, who had been somewhat worried, couldn’t help but smile when she heard Yue Heng agree so readily.

Before.

Ye Zhaoyu showed her no courtesy, leaving no face for her.

Tong Simeng felt stifled with resentment. She had already made up her mind.

She had already made such an effort to give Ye Zhaoyu a way out, but since he was unwilling to take it, then the two of them would end things completely from now on.

She saw it very clearly, only Yue Heng truly loved her!

As for Ye Zhaoyu, even if he cried and begged her to come back, she wouldn’t look back.

Isn’t it trendy now to chase one’s wife to the crematorium? Hmph, even if Ye Zhaoyu were to chase her, it would be to no avail! She had met someone better and more suitable!

Thinking this way, Tong Simeng’s gaze at Yue Heng became all the more affectionate.

The couple might not have been highly intelligent, but they had an abundance of small-town cunning.

With a turn of her eyes, the woman spoke again, “Back in our hometown, we have a son. He’s still young, and the thought of being separated from him for a long time makes my heart ache.”

“No problem, just bring your son over as well,” Tong Simeng agreed very readily.

What was it but one more child, a few extra chopsticks, and another bowl?

This time, she didn’t even ask Yue Heng, as if she felt that Yue Heng would always indulge her unconditionally.

Yue Heng’s expression turned even uglier, but he still said nothing.

The woman’s face lit up with joy as she continued, “Then there’s the matter of our living expenses…”

“Don’t worry, Yue Heng will take care of it,” Tong Simeng promised generously once again.

“And…” the woman wanted to continue.

Yue Heng couldn’t take it any longer and directly said, “My assistant will handle your affairs. We have other matters to attend to now, so we won’t chat with you any longer.”

Yue Heng forcibly pulled Tong Simeng away.

The couple immediately wanted to follow.

But Yue Heng’s assistant quietly stopped them.

“Yue Heng, why did you suddenly pull me out? They’re strangers here, leaving them there like that was very impolite,” Tong Simeng said with some annoyance.

Yue Heng clenched his teeth.

He really wanted to say,

They open their mouths and ask for a villa, for living expenses, that’s what’s impolite!

He restrained himself and said softly, “Simeng, the assistant will arrange things for them.”

Tong Simeng then nodded, “Alright, just make sure to take good care of them. Later, when Bingtong is done with her work, she’ll definitely want to reunite with them.”

Yue Heng managed a strained smile, “Of course. My assistant is very efficient; he will handle it well. Simeng, this is someone else’s issue, what matters most right now is you and Zhaoyu. Do you really have to make it such a big scene?”

Tong Simeng looked upset, “Ye Zhaoyu’s attitude towards me is disrespectful. I’ve decided to break up with him for good. Because I’ve realized there’s someone else around who is more worthy of my attention.”

Tong Simeng’s eyes glistened as she looked at Yue Heng.

Yue Heng furrowed his brows.

Looking at the current situation, it seems difficult for Tong Simeng and Ye Zhaoyu to reconcile.

And Ye Zhaoyu, really, was it necessary to have such a terrible attitude over such a small matter?

After some thought, Yue Heng said softly, “Simeng, I’m happy that you chose me. But even if you finish with Ye Zhaoyu, you’re still the manager of the TC Club. You should at least go back to the club one last time, right?”

Tong Simeng was reluctant, “Do I have to go back? Can’t I just resign?”

Ye Zhaoyu treated her as if she was nothing, and she couldn’t stand to be wronged.

“For resignation, you’ll have to go there in person,” Yue Heng said softly, “Moreover, don’t you think Ye Zhaoyu has gone too far this time? Seeing you being wronged like this really breaks my heart.”

Tong Simeng’s expression softened.

She liked hearing Yue Heng talk like this!

Previously, she felt a bit resentful when Yue Heng kept urging her to make up with Ye Zhaoyu.

So it turned out,

he was just hiding his concern for her deep in his heart.

“Now, Ye Zhaoyu’s fans are still furiously attacking you online. I don’t believe there’s no implication from Ye Zhaoyu behind it. Simeng, after all the time you’ve been together, for him to treat you like this, it’s simply a disgrace to all men! I can’t stand by and not teach him a lesson,” Yue Heng said, sounding indignant on Tong Simeng’s behalf.

Tong Simeng nodded in agreement, feeling that Ye Zhaoyu was indeed going too far.

He wasn’t like this before. In the past, no matter what she did or how many mistakes she made, he would always forgive and cherish her unconditionally.

But now?

Just over such a trivial misunderstanding, he disregarded their years of relationship and led his fans to blast her online!

Such a man was utterly disgusting.

But then again…

Ye Zhaoyu was not only Ye Zhaoyu but also a member of the Ye Family… Tong Simeng couldn’t think of any way to get back at him.

Yue Heng timely reminded, “What do you think Ye Zhaoyu cares about the most?”

Without hesitation, Tong Simeng said, “Other than that lousy game, what else?”

Yue Heng continued, “The finals are coming up soon. If TC doesn’t win the championship, it’ll surely hurt him. He doesn’t deserve to win the championship with the kind of person he is.”

Tong Simeng subconsciously nodded.

“So Simeng, to ensure that Ye Zhaoyu gets the outcome he deserves, I need a little help from you,” Yue Heng said.
