Chapter 502 - 472 Hu Jialang
Just after hanging up the phone, there were continuous calls from business tycoons demanding refunds.
Tang Jinghuan, of course, agreed to the refunds.
He had no choice; he was already barred from leaving the country by the officials.
His accounts were also restricted from international transfers, making it impossible to move the money away.
Lately, he stopped answering calls and instead had his assistant arrange the refunds.
This trip to Haicheng turned out to be a complete failure.
After dealing with the refund matters, Tang Jinghuan boarded the flight to the beautiful country with his assistant.
His fraudulent activities in Europe had spread within the domestic business community.
No longer welcome by anyone in the Huaxia business world, he naturally wouldn’t stay in Huaxia.
Just before the plane took off, he dialed Xu Yang’s phone number.
At this time, Xu Yang had already returned to Jiangcheng and was at the hospital accompanying Zhao Yuxin.
Zhao Yuxin had woken up already.
She woke up not long after Xu Yang came back.
Xu Yang was relieved that he was by Zhao Yuxin’s side when she woke up.
At this moment, both parents and the father-in-law, along with Zhou Ruyan, were at the hospital.
Seeing that it was a call from Tang Jinghuan, Xu Yang stepped outside of the ward to answer, "Tang Jinghuan, what’s the matter?"
Tang Jinghuan said bitterly, "Xu Yang, you really did a number on me, ruining my plans!"
Xu Yang laughed, "You brought this upon yourself. If you hadn’t tried to go after me, why would I bother with you? To be honest, if you hadn’t called me last night, I wouldn’t even know that you were in Haicheng, raising such a large fund to target me. Since you attacked me, of course I had to fight back seriously and investigate you. Once I did, I unearthed some of your past deeds.
When I was dealing with the Tang Family, I had someone investigate you, but it was just a basic inquiry. Back then, I actually thought you were a Wall Street elite. I didn’t expect you to be so despicable."
Tang Jinghuan scoffed, "Don’t be smug, I’ll make sure you pay for this one day!"
Xu Yang spoke contemptuously, "You’re a con artist; what right do you have to make me pay?"
Tang Jinghuan scoffed again, "Just remember, I will definitely make you pay!"
With that, he hung up directly.
Xu Yang shook his head indifferently and went back into the ward.
Zhao Yuxin woke up and had to stay in the hospital for a few more days for recovery treatment before she could be discharged.
Over the next few days, Xu Yang stayed in the hospital with Zhao Yuxin.
He also told Zhao Yuxin about the upcoming travel plans to take wedding photos and how they would get married after they returned.
Zhao Yuxin was very much looking forward to it.
Three days later, Zhao Yuxin was discharged from the hospital.
That evening, both families gathered for a meal together.
Since Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were going on a trip, Xu Yang’s parents decided to continue traveling.
Zhao Hai and Zhou Ruyan went back to work as usual.
The first destination of Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin’s trip was the famous tourist city, Licheng.
After flying to Licheng, they arrived at the hotel they had booked.
While handling the check-in at the hotel, a man in his late twenties also arrived at the front desk to go through the check-in process.
This man was stunned by Zhao Yuxin’s beauty, his eyes practically glued on her.
Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin didn’t notice this.
Once they finished with the procedures and got their room card, they went to take the elevator.
"Good evening, sir. Here are your ID and room card," the front desk handed over the ID and room card to the man with both hands. Enjoy more content from NovelBin.Côm
The man snapped back to reality, took his ID and room card, and asked the front desk, "Which room are those two people staying in?"
The front desk smiled politely and replied, "I’m sorry, sir, the guests’ check-in information is confidential. I cannot answer that."
The man took out his wallet, pulled out ten hundred-yuan notes, and slapped them on the front desk, "Tell me, which room are those two staying in?"
The front desk shook her head, "I’m sorry, sir, I can’t answer you."
She wasn’t unmoved—after all, she worked as a receptionist here, and her salary wasn’t much.
A thousand yuan was nearly a third of her monthly wage.
But she couldn’t accept it; there were surveillance cameras around. If she really took it, she’d have to kiss this job goodbye.
The man frowned slightly, tugged his luggage, and swiftly headed towards the elevator, catching the same one as Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.
Coincidentally, the three of them were heading to the same floor.
"Hello, you guys are here for a trip, right?" the man said with a smile as he initiated the conversation.
"Yes," Xu Yang nodded.
"I’m also here to travel. My name is Hu Jialang. Might I ask how to address you?" the man asked with a smile.
"I’m Xu Yang; this is my wife," Xu Yang introduced himself, and briefly introduced Zhao Yuxin as well, but he didn’t mention her name.
It was a chance meeting and there was no need to provide such detailed information.
Moreover, he felt that Hu Jialang’s gaze was intentionally or unintentionally lingering on Zhao Yuxin, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Hu Jialang’s eyes lit up—so she was a married woman.
Usually, when he sought women, they were single; he had never sought out a married woman before.
Because he thought, there was nothing interesting about someone else’s wife.
Of course, that was because he hadn’t met one who stirred his heart yet.
If he had, he naturally wouldn’t have let her go.
Seeing Zhao Yuxin today truly made his heart race.
Making love to such a stunning married woman must be exhilarating.
Instantly, a plan formed in his mind.
Zhao Yuxin simply nodded at Hu Jialang, without speaking.
Hu Jialang smiled and said, "It’s my first time in Licheng, how about you?"
Xu Yang responded, "It’s our first time too."
In the midst of their conversation, they quickly reached their floor.
Coincidentally, Hu Jialang’s room was right next to Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin’s.
"It seems we really are fated to meet and even become neighbors," Hu Jialang chuckled.
"Indeed, destiny," Xu Yang replied somewhat perfunctorily, then opened the door and entered the room with Zhao Yuxin.
After settling in his own room for a bit, Hu Jialang left his room and knocked on Xu Yang’s door.
Surprised to see Hu Jialang, Xu Yang asked, "Mr. Hu, is something the matter?"
With a smile, Hu Jialang replied, "Mr. Xu, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I don’t have any friends around here and I was hoping to explore Licheng with you. Is that okay?"
Xu Yang really disliked Hu Jialang’s smile; he found it insincere.
It reminded him of Tang Jinglong—Hu Jialang’s smile was as fake as Tang Jinglong’s.
Plus, he was on a trip with his wife and naturally didn’t want anyone else tagging along.
Especially since the way the man looked at Zhao Yuxin suggested ulterior motives; all the more reason not to let him join.
So, Xu Yang shook his head and said, "Sorry, my wife and I are out for a vacation, hoping for some time to ourselves."
"I was presumptuous, then," Tang Jinghuan said, a hint of disappointment in his demeanor but still smiling, looking at his watch, "It’s been a pleasure to meet you. It’s almost lunchtime, let me take you out for a meal."
Xu Yang shook his head again, "Sorry, we left early today and it’s been quite a journey on the road and by plane. We’re feeling a bit tired and don’t want to go out. We’ve already ordered food."
Again, Hu Jialang looked disappointed: "That’s okay.
Xu Yang asked, "Mr. Hu, is there anything else you need?"
"No, my apologies for disturbing you. Goodbye."
Hu Jialang returned to his own room, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
Then, seemingly struck by an idea, his eyes sparkled and his face revealed a scheming smile.
