Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 983: It Was You!

The backyard.

Chen Xishan was packing up.

Lu’er, wiping tears, was helping her.

Chen Xishan, calm now, showed strength as she said to Lu’er, "Even without the Huo Family, I can still seek refuge with He Jitang! He wouldn’t deny me a bed."

Lu’er was stunned.

Chen Xishan, unaware of Yingzi’s accident, pondered, "With my people by He Jitang’s side, they will surely speak for me."

Lu’er burst into laughter through her tears: "I knew there’d be a way out! You have skills, grand young madam!"

Chen Xishan also smiled.

But she remained mostly despondent.

That evening, she left with Lu’er, only to find Huo Shaoting awaiting her at the gate.

Chen Xishan was stunned.

But her heart was filled with hatred for him: the man she loved had conspired with others, bringing her to such a state.

Chen Xishan kept her pride: "Huo Shaoting, do you have more to say?"

Huo Shaoting spoke elegantly, "When you leave... I will take care of Ling and Xi."

He carefully added, "If you are willing, you can still care for them, and I’ll cover all expenses."

Chen Xishan was unwilling.

She sneered, "If I yield to you now, wouldn’t I be submissive to that shameless Yan Jing? Huo Shaoting, I will rise again, and by then, I will take back our children."

The words ’our children’ choked her.

Indeed, if not for Huo Shaoting’s children, why would she be so persistent?

Chen Xishan left with Lu’er.

Lu’er looked back, reluctant to part.

Once in the car, she tried to console, "Grand young madam, I believe the second master truly cares for you! Despite everything, you have two children together."

Chen Xishan could not swallow her pride.

She retorted sharply, "His heart is now occupied by that wench; where is there room for me?"

Lu’er dared not speak further.

The car drove for about half an hour, as the driver delivered them to another residence before returning to the Huo Family.

In fact, the driver’s trip was on Huo Shaoting’s behalf.

...

He Jitang’s gatekeepers were not friendly.

Despite numerous visits, Chen Xishan found herself waiting at the entrance.

After about ten minutes, the gatekeeper finally let them inside.

Chen Xishan straightened her clothes, telling Lu’er, "He Jitang won’t treat me poorly."

They reached He Jitang’s study.

Shen Ci was standing at the door, looking at Chen Xishan with a complex gaze.

Knowing him as He Jitang’s confidant, Chen Xishan tried to engage, asking about Yingzi.

Shen Ci’s gaze grew even more complicated; he smiled faintly, "Madam, it’s best to speak with Young Master Ji first."

With that, he opened the door for her. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Still unsuspecting, Chen Xishan entered with a light smile, softly calling: "He Jitang."

As soon as she finished speaking, her smile froze.

There were others in He Jitang’s study.

That person was indeed the grand young madam of the Huo Family.

Chen Xishan, surprisingly, laughed gently and said, "I never imagined, despite all my considerations, that I underestimated you! It was you who dealt the final blow!"

The grand young madam sat sipping tea.

She exclaimed, "You should have known all along! You’re too complacent; for years I’ve played humble before you, and you naïvely believed I was incompetent!"

Chen Xishan lowered her gaze.

Still smiling, she rebutted, "Don’t celebrate too early! What difference is there between you and me today? Just a tool of the Huo Family and He Jitang, ultimately... nothing at all!"

Chen Xishan retained her arrogance.

She knew He Jitang had abandoned her, intending to hand the Alchemy Factory over to Liu Xiruo.

No matter!

She still had wealth in her hands, capable of rising again.

Chen Xishan turned and left.

From beginning to end, He Jitang did not try to keep her...

Upon exiting, Shen Ci was still standing there, telling Chen Xishan: "Yingzi has already left the other residence."

Chen Xishan was taken aback.

An ominous foreboding welled up within her, indescribable yet chilling.
