The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 273: You Are Not Welcome Here 1

He was extremely surprised back then!

He jumped in after her, lifting her to the surface. However, he didn’t want her to know that he was the one who had saved her, because to him, saving her signified nothing; it was simply a rescue operation.

So after dropping her at the hospital, all he left behind was Hai Xiaotang’s phone number before he departed.

What he had not anticipated then was that, from that moment, Qiao Ning would leave the Chai Family.

Only later did he sporadically find out why Qiao Ning had tried to kill herself…

Her mother had been intending to marry her off to Su Zigao!

Even though he had no idea what had actually transpired that day, he could hazard some speculations.

Chai Xiyang had always perceived Qiao Ning as a very insincere girl who pretended to be weak and fragile, even though she was deviously cunning.

Additionally, she was a woman who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

So, if she calculated against him for her own benefit in the past, it was natural that she would be with Su Zigao now for the same reason.

What puzzled him, however, was why she would want to commit suicide…

Did that imply that she was not who he thought she was?

Even if that were the case, his attitude towards her was unlikely to change.

Because Kong Minjuan had forgotten his mother’s kindness and betrayed her, seducing his father and falsely accusing him in order to worm her way into the Chai Family.

She had even been plotting to take over the entire Chai Family all these years.

Just by virtue of what her mother had done, he and Qiao Ning were destined to be strangers.

Thus no matter what kind of girl she was, it had nothing to do with him…

He didn’t need her in his world!

Not long after Chai Xiyang left, Qiao Ning also departed.

After they had left, however, Lin Xinxin arrived!

Upon seeing her, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but frown, “What are you doing here?”

Lin Xinxin casually replied, “I heard that Dongfang Yu was in trouble, so I came to see him.”

“You are not required to!” Hai Xiaotang retorted bluntly, “You can leave now.”

Lin Xinxin couldn’t help but chuckle, “Hai Xiaotang, I’ve already been driven out of the Dongfang household, are you still wary of me?”

Hai Xiaotang’s expression was cold, “Wary of you? You think too highly of yourself. I simply don’t like you!”

“So, you finally admit that you dislike me, that you’ve always been against me?” Lin Xinxin accused.

Hai Xiaotang found it quite laughable, “I’ve always disliked you. Are you just realizing that now?”

“So, you’ve been targeting me all along!”

“Targeting you? I’ve stopped bothering with that a long time ago,” Hai Xiaotang didn’t want to indulge her further, “Just leave. You’re not welcome here. Neither, I believe, would Dongfang Yu.”

Remembering how her days had turned miserable ever since she had left Dongfang, she felt an immense resentment.

All the tribulations she had undergone were because of Hai Xiaotang…

It all involved her!

Lin Xinxin scoffed, “Hai Xiaotang, you won’t be laughing for long. Soon, you’ll get your comeuppance!”

Hai Xiaotang frowned, “Are you trying to provoke me? Do you believe that I can have you escorted out?”

Lin Xinxin snorted derisively, her voice low and smug, “The accident at the orphanage is a serious matter. Hai Xiaotang, as the lead designer, there’s no shirking your responsibility!”

Hai Xiaotang was dumbfounded—

“What do you mean?” Hai Xiaotang asked skeptically, “The quality issue at the orphanage, does it have something to do with you? Are you trying to frame me?”

Lin Xinxin chuckled with derision, “You think too highly of me. However, I am indeed looking forward to seeing how you manage to overcome this predicament!”

Having said that, she turned around and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Hai Xiaotang was suddenly filled with numerous doubts and a sense of unease…
