Chapter 78: Huangfu Yu's Vinegar

  Finally, when the car passed by a huge fountain, Su Jingya suddenly shouted loudly: "Stop the car, stop the car!!"

  Dongfang Yan didn't understand what Su Jingya wanted to do, and hastily stopped the car on the side of the road. As soon as the car came to a stop, Su Jingya couldn't wait to open the door and get out, running to the fountain pool, looking up at the water jets with her small face, dancing and spinning along with the rhythm of the music, reflecting the colorful lights, sometimes majestic and sometimes gentle and charming, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

  Su Jingya hadn't seen such a magnificent fountain for a long time, she blinked her big eyes, mesmerized, and even her three souls and seven spirits floated out of her body.

  Dongfang Yan stood quietly by, her hands tucked into her pockets, feigning indifference as a cover for the intense heat in her eyes, which were fixed tightly on her, not even blinking.

  His tall and straight figure was stretched by the streetlight not far away, entwining with Su Jingya's shadow in a lingering manner.

  Unintentionally catching a glimpse of the two figures blending together, Dongfang Yan couldn't help but feel delighted. From his angle, they looked like two lovers who had been in love for a long time, deeply embracing each other.

  To be honest, Su Jingya was not his type at all, too ordinary, too simple, absolutely the kind of girl who would get lost in the crowd.

  Before she appeared, he wouldn't have given a second glance to a woman who didn't match his status, let alone thought of liking someone from the grassroots. But... since meeting Su Jingya, whether it was due to some kind of aura emanating from her or just sympathy and heartache from the start, or other reasons, he had unknowingly developed an unusual affection for her.

  But that feeling, like a microbe, like a virus, was spreading and growing wildly in his subconscious, and by the time he realized it, it was too late to retreat completely, or even... he didn't even have the ability to retreat one centimeter back, because he had already been poisoned by her.

  As the music ended, the fountain's water column gently swayed and rotated to the next sentimental and soft song. Dongfang Yan saw Su Jingya staring at the water column with a smile, he raised an eyebrow, curiously asking: "You like fountains?"

  Su Jingya didn't withdraw her gaze, still staring at the fountain as if in a trance. She explained: "Yes! When I was being treated for my illness in America, every day was either rehabilitation therapy or lying in bed with nothing to do. My only two friends, An Ran and Wang Bo, had to go to school every day, so when I was bored, I would push my wheelchair downstairs by myself and take a stroll.

  At that time, apart from An Ran and Wang Bo, my best partner was the fountain.

  Next to the hospital, there is a more magnificent fountain than here. At that time, I would go to find the fountain every day, chat with it, talk about my heart, talk about dreams, and even share secrets in my heart!

  Fire, do you know? Every evening, the fountain next to it is bustling with many residents living nearby. After dinner, they will gather here without exception to enjoy the rare relaxation in their busy lives. They will pull out small reminders here, practice choruses, perform acrobatics, and many people gather here to dance waltzes.

  The sunset at that time was exceptionally brilliant in the midst of laughter and cheers, shining golden and dazzling to the point where I could hardly open my eyes.

  And I, at that time, had a big dream: I must stand up and pursue the life I want, just like them, happily!

  Dongfang Yan looked at the irresistible happiness on her small face, his heart became very soft at the same time, and there was also a kind of unspeakable heartache and sorrow.

  Perhaps at this moment, he somewhat understood why Su Jingya was so obsessed with loving Huangfu Yu.

  Because she has lost too much and gained too little from childhood to adulthood, she regards every obtainable thing as more important than life itself. She cherishes and treasures them repeatedly, making even a fountain bring her joy and unforgettable memories. Not to mention Huangfu Yu and her having an unreplaceable past in this lifetime that no one can take away.

  He couldn't imagine what thoughts would be going through the mind of a girl in her early teens, or even younger than ten years old, who spends all day sitting in a wheelchair, gazing longingly at birds flying high outside the window, and watching as children of the same age walk or play outside. But he could imagine the kind of emotions that would be stirring inside her - the longing to run, the longing to walk, the longing for normalcy, the longing for happiness.

  He turned his head to look at her, and his eyebrows slightly raised as he asked in a low voice, "You're chatting with the fountain about your heart's affairs and dreams?" This...can also be done?

  Su Jingya heard Dongfang Yan's extremely puzzled voice, withdrew her gaze, and saw his bewildered and curious face. She smiled mysteriously: "This is my secret, I'll tell you, but you can't tell others. Do you have any coins?"

  I don't understand what Su Jingya wants to do, Dongfang Yan can only stupidly touch the coins on his body.

  After feeling around for half a day, apart from a wallet stuffed with various bank cards, nothing else was found.

  He carefully pulled out a red 100-yuan note from his wallet and asked in an inquiring tone, "Will this do?"

  Su Jingya puffed out her small mouth. Rich people are just rich people. She only wanted a coin, but she took out a 100-yuan bill.

  "Of course not. I was just in the car and found some coins, wait a minute, let me go get them!"

  As she spoke, Su Jingya had already excitedly jumped towards the car, opened the door and leaned on the passenger seat, making extremely ungraceful movements to grab the coin stuck in the gap.

  Dongfang Yan saw how hard she was working, her small face flushed red, and he couldn't help but be charmed by her adorable appearance. He stood still, his eyes gazing at her softly.

  Suddenly remembered that there was nothing to do in the morning, so he personally went to the supermarket to buy some snacks she liked. When getting off the car, he pulled over the passenger seat pocket and accidentally scratched a hole in the bag in his hurry. The loose change inside fell out, but he didn't pick it up, and also forgot to let someone clean the car. And this woman happened to notice the coins stuck in the gap as soon as she got on the car.

  Su Jingya used all her strength to dig out the coin, and in the process of digging, she found that several coins had fallen off in the car, so she picked them up.

  Then, holding the coin, he proudly rushed towards Dongfang Yan and smiled: "I'll let you see what magic is all about!"

  As she spoke, she couldn't wait to run back to the fountain, then turned around with her back to the fountain, took out a coin and tapped it in her palm, clasped her fingers together, closed her eyes with a devout expression.

  Dongfang Yan wanted to know what kind of medicine was being sold in her gourd, carefully paying attention to her every move. However, when she realized that she was just throwing coins into the fountain and making a wish, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He had thought it was some earth-shattering secret, but...

  When Su Jingya was not paying attention, she suddenly threw the coin backwards with a "dunk" sound. The coin sank into the water, but just as it had sunk, the fountain's water column suddenly sprayed up with a "whoosh" sound.

  Su Jingya suddenly cheered up: "Yan, this is the communication with the fountain in our hearts. I just made a wish that as soon as my coin sank into the water, the water would spray up and my wish would come true. Look, the fountain has agreed!"

  Dongfang Yan raised an eyebrow and snorted disdainfully: "What's there to be happy about? Look at me, I can do it too!"

  As he spoke, Dongfang Yan took a coin from Su Jingya's hand, turned around with his back to the fountain, and followed her example step by step. However, when the coin sank into the water, the fountain didn't react at all, and it wasn't until several seconds later that it lazily sprayed out a few strands of water.

  Where was Su Jingya's grandeur when she made a wish just now?!

  Su Jingya glanced at Dongfang Yan with the corner of her eye and saw that his face had changed, even the corners of his mouth were twitching slightly, she covered her mouth and laughed.

  She said, is this spiritual communication? How can you still not believe it?!

  Dongfang Yan refused to give up, and he took another coin to toss. He calculated the time in his heart, but before the coin was tossed out, "whoosh, whoosh", several water columns had already risen into the air.

  Su Jingya laughed even more happily now.

  Dongfang Yan looked at the woman who was laughing so hard she was about to roll on the ground, feeling annoyed. Was she mocking him? Yes! Absolutely mocking him.

  He walked over and Dongfang Yan said with a huff: "You must have been lucky, to be so coincidental! If you want me to believe you, fine, let's cast again!"

  "Alright!" Su Jingya didn't think twice, took the coin, turned around with her back to the fountain, closed her eyes and silently made a wish in her heart. After waiting for a few seconds, she quickly tossed the coin backwards.

  "Whoosh~"

  "Whoosh... whoosh..."

  Splashing water everywhere.

  Dongfang Yan looked at the splashing water in the sky, passionately surging and dancing, he was stunned.

  In the night, a limited edition Veyron car quickly drove through the city center towards the suburbs.

  Huang Pu's expression was cold and detached as he drove, his slender fingers, with joints that were clearly defined, rested casually on the steering wheel, controlling it carelessly, his nonchalant posture a perfect reflection of how easily he controlled the entire world.

  "Third Brother, this Wednesday afternoon, there is an extremely important meeting. Mr. Ou De, the CEO of Europe's 'Mary' Group, will secretly visit Huangfu Group."

  "On Thursday morning, there was a charity auction. In the afternoon, Ms. Yu Manqing returned from her Korea and Japan tour, with a 2 o'clock flight."

  "On Friday..."

  Zhao Yi held a tablet in one hand and flipped through the schedule with the other, reporting on Huangfu Yu's itinerary for the past week. He read it carefully and memorized it, but his eyes fell on this weekend's activities, and he slightly furrowed his brow.

  Just a brief pause, Huangfu Yu had already sensed something was amiss. He calmly asked, "What's wrong, Zhou Wu?"

  Zhao Yi furrowed his sword-like eyebrows deeply a few times, and finally, with a stiff upper lip, reported: "Friday, Old Master Dongfang is 78 years old, Third Brother, should we cancel this?"

  Huangfu Yiyi's expression turned gloomy at once, his eyebrows and eyes all darkening.

  "After a long silence, he said coldly: 'No need, just mark it! Remind me again on Thursday, haven't seen him in 17 years, should see him now!'"

  "Yes, Third Brother!" Zhao Yi marked an important note on the schedule with his pen and also made a memo on his tablet computer. He continued to read out the next part of the schedule, "Third Brother, next Monday at 8pm is 'Earl's Night', the big boss of the 'Poison Bee Organization' - 'Bee King's' adopted son 'Jin Rui Mo De' will be participating. Do we need to prepare anything for that day, such as..."

  Zhao Yi raised his head and looked at Huangfu Yu, making a "psst" gesture towards him.

  The Poisonous Bee Organization is a powerful triad in the Golden Triangle region, engaging in smuggling, arms trafficking, drug dealing and sex trade. Latest news: The Queen Bee knows all about the inside story of the 'Golden Triangle Conference' and was involved in the action.

  This is absolutely a good opportunity for Huangfu to clarify the facts of the year.

  Huangfu's eyes flickered to Zhao Yi's movement, and his deep black pupils suddenly narrowed in danger: "This point, I have thought of it early. When the time comes, how to do it specifically, I will carefully arrange, wait for notification!!"

  "Alright!" Zhao Yi flipped through his tablet and itinerary, the work for the last seven days had already been reported, he carefully checked again, there was no omission, he was about to tell Huangfu Yu when...

  Coughing sound

  The speeding car suddenly slammed on the brakes, and Zhao Yi, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was thrown forward due to inertia. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the handhold beside him, narrowly avoiding crashing into the windshield.

  "......Third Brother, what's going on?" Zhao Yi's entire body, every cell and nerve tensed up, he quickly glanced out the window, but there was nothing unusual.

  Seeing Huangfu Yu didn't speak, he curiously turned his head and found that Huangfu Yu was staring in a certain direction.

  Along the line of sight of Huangfu Yu, he happened to see a woman sitting alone at the edge of the fountain, shaking her legs, occasionally turning her head to look at the fountain, or raising her head to gaze at the sky.

  Isn't this woman... Su Jingya?!

  What are you doing here at the fountain in the middle of the night instead of resting at home? Appreciating the scenery?! In the middle of the night, alone, coming to appreciate the scenery?!

  Looking at her movements and expressions, it should be...

  Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze, sneaking a peek at Huangfu Yu, and saw that Huangfu Yu was staring straight at Su Jingya. His deep black eyes were calm as usual, but... strangely, this time, he actually read a hint of fervor beneath the surface!

  Following Huangfu Yu for over a decade, he was all too familiar with his personality - aloof, self-controlled, and unmoved by beauty. No matter how beautiful the woman, in Huangfu Yu's eyes she was just a woman, devoid of any allure, so his attention would never linger on one woman for more than ten minutes. No... not ten minutes, to be precise... it was just a glance.

  Even if it's a beautiful enough woman to make all the men in the world infatuated, when she passes by him, he will at most take a glance.

  So now... what does it mean to stare at a woman?

  Zhao Yi secretly guessed what Huangfu Yu was thinking, took a deep breath and just as he was about to say: "Third Brother, it's too dangerous for Miss Su to be alone here. Do you want to go over and pick her up? I have something on, I'll slip away first!"

  However, before he could speak, "Whoosh!", the sports car suddenly accelerated rapidly, without any mental preparation. Zhao Yi fell back awkwardly, and his tablet computer and itinerary report all fell into the car compartment.

  I don't understand what happened again, Zhao Yi's face changed color as he turned to look at Huangfu Yu, who was fine just a second ago but suddenly changed in an instant. The deep black eyes shot out a terrifying red light, and he couldn't help but take a cold breath. Not only did his back feel chilly, but he felt that every cell in his body was bathed in the biting cold wind.

  Damn it, who made Third Brother unhappy again?

  I'm so fed up with living! Seeking death!!!!!!!

  Feeling the sports car he was sitting in, as if it were about to take off, Zhao Yi glanced at the speedometer. If he hadn't looked, everything would have been fine, but with one glance, even he, Huangfu Yu's most calm and composed subordinate, couldn't help but let out a sharp cry: "Third Brother, what's wrong?! Third Brother, this is very serious, very serious, very serious... we're speeding!"

  Speedometer, pointer extremely exaggeratedly suddenly soared to 250 yards, it's simply... don't want to die.

  My god, what on earth stimulated him, driving a sports car as if it were an airplane?!

  As the sports car whizzed by the fountain, Zhao Yi caught a glimpse through the rearview mirror of Su Jingya and a man sitting beside the fountain, eating... ice cream?!

  At this moment, Su Jingya was holding a big bucket of ice cream, and she fiercely poked a piece into her mouth. A sports car whizzed by her ear, disappearing from view in three seconds. She stared blankly and exclaimed: "I just saw an airplane flying along the ground..."

  Dongfang Yan heard the sound and looked over, at the end of the road, he saw the car tail clearly, two words popped up in his mind: First, Limited Edition Weilong, Second, Huangfu Yu...

  Sorry guys!!! I'm not in the mood, stayed up all night and only wrote 5,000 words, will update some more during the day!! Waaahhh... sorry everyone!! My body doesn't feel well!!!!!!!!!
