Chapter 1146: Could It Be That He Ran Away?

Yu Meilin stopped pulling Hou Zexian, but the expression on his face made her very uneasy. “Zexian, let me warn you. There are so many women in this world and you can find anyone you want or like, but that person cannot be Liang Zixuan! You can lose your face, but our Hou Family cannot afford to lose it!”     

Hou Shihong did not leave. He stood behind them the whole time. When he heard Yu Meilin’s words, he vigorously patted Hou Zexian on the shoulder.     

“Zexian, you are not young anymore. Look at yourself now, you cannot even take over the Hou Family. What will you use to compete against Han Yuanjun? Liang Zixuan is too proud and arrogant. In the past, your brother was not worthy of her, and only Han Yuanjun could enter her eyes. Do you think she will have a good impression of you now that you are trying to get close to her? I hate to see you die like this.”     

“That’s right!” Yu Meilin nodded her head repeatedly. “Your father is right! Look at yourself. You and Han Yuanjun are too far apart, so stop thinking about Liang Zixuan, okay?”     

Hou Zexian automatically ignored Yu Meilin’s words. In his mind, he thought that if he took over the Hou Family, he could be compared to Han Yuanjun.     

In Liang Zixuan’s heart, he was not a man who had nothing!     

Seeing the disappearing figures of Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun, Hou Zexian suddenly seemed to think about it. He said solemnly, “I understand. You can rest assured.”     

They had raised their own children. Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong could tell if their children really meant what they said or were just playing around.     

Hou Zexian did not seem to be joking now, and he definitely was not messing with them.     

Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief. Hou Shihong smiled at Hou Zexian. “It’s not too late for you to understand. Zexian, when you take over the Hou Family, what kind of woman do you want? Everyone will fall at your feet. When the time comes, Liang Zixuan will only be like a wilted flower in your eyes.”     

Hou Zexian smiled mockingly, ignoring Hou Shihong’s words, and walked away.     

In his heart, Liang Zixuan would never be the old wilted flower.     

She was an amazing person who made choices that were beneficial to her.     

When Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong saw Hou Zexian leave, the two of them did not think too much about it and just thought that he had really thought of everything. In the future, when Hou Zexian took over the Hou Family, their Hou Family would probably go up another level.     

They also felt that this time, although the situation seemed dangerous, it was a good thing for the Hou Family. They could use this opportunity to let Hou Zexian learn from the current situation.     

When Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong came out of the restaurant, Wei Xiaoqing slowly came out of the restroom. She looked at them and scoffed as she shook her head. “The white moonlight in a man’s heart is truly terrifying! It can really cause a man to rise from his decadence. Truly amazing.”     

Wei Xiaoqing shrugged her shoulders and walked towards the door, saying to herself. “If Hou Yingyi saw that his younger brother wanted to take over the Hou Family just for his ex-girlfriend, I wonder how he would feel? It must be amazing!”     

Wei Xiaoqing no longer cared about the Hou Family’s affairs and interests.     

She just wanted her child to come home safely and raise him well. No matter what Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong would do to them, she just wanted her child to have a good life with an open future.     

Yes, her demand was not high. Wei Xiaoqing just wanted the child to be safe and grow up well in the Hou Family.     

When everyone returned to the waiting area, Yu Meilin seemed to notice something and looked at everyone. “Where is Wei Xiaoqing? Didn’t she come back with you guys?”     

“I’m here.”     

Wei Xiaoqing walked in unhurriedly. When she saw everyone looking at her, she smiled sheepishly and said, “I had to go to the restroom earlier.”     

Actually, other than Yu Meilin, no one else cared about Wei Xiaoqing’s whereabouts.     

She was already so big and no longer a child. How could she get lost?         

Hou Shihong shook his head and said nothing. He walked to the bench and sat down.     

Throughout the whole day, they spent most of their time waiting. For them, waiting like this was not only a waste of their time but also very torturous.     

The closer it got to midnight, the more nervous the crowd became.     

Even Liang Zixuan, who had kept calm all day, could not help but get nervous.     

She kept looking at her cell phone as if it would ring at any moment.     

Wei Xiaofan also felt that the atmosphere was quite heavy at this moment. He stood up, walked towards the glass door, and started pacing up and down. Obviously, he couldn’t sit still anymore either.     

“Aiya, can you stop pacing? You’re making me dizzy!” Yu Meilin sighed.     

Wei Xiaofan rubbed his hands together. He walked over to the bench and sat down again. He raised his wrist to check the time again and sighed anxiously. “It’s already 11 pm. If He Wuhan doesn’t call now, the day will be over.”     

Wei Xiaoqing bit her lip and whispered, “He… Could it be that he ran away? He already took the money, so…”     

“What money?” Yu Meilin asked Wei Xiaoqing in confusion.     

Wei Xiaoqing pouted and lowered her voice. “The nine hundred million that was transferred to him in the afternoon.”     

“Puff…” Yu Meilin laughed. She slapped her thigh and said, “If he’s going to run off with that money, then let him be. After all, the money is fake, could he even withdraw it?”     

Wei Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and said scornfully, “But He Wuhan doesn’t know it is fake! He could be very happy now. There are nine hundred million in his account!”     

“Impossible!” Wei Xiaofan quickly explained, “Even if we gave him real money, he wouldn’t be able to escape from Imperial City on his own. If he could escape, he would have escaped some time ago.”     

When everyone heard this logic, they also thought it made sense.     

When Liang Zixuan picked up her phone to check it, the phone suddenly vibrated in her hand. In the next second, a melodic ringtone rang out.     

Everyone immediately felt tense and looked at her.     

Yu Meilin and Wei Xiaoqing couldn’t control their emotions. They jumped up from the bench, hoping they could snatch the phone from Liang Zixuan.

Liang Zixuan looked at everyone and pressed the answer button. She slowly put the phone to her ear. “Hello…”
