Chapter 139: False Hopes

Yin Shixiong was momentarily puzzled—then it dawned on him.

Mr. Huo had realized that Yin Shixiong had been speaking on behalf of Nianzhi.

Yin Shixiong was impressed. This was why Mr. Huo was the boss, while he and Little Ze could only be his personal secretaries—he was perceptive, considerate, and always one step ahead of everyone else. There was no way he could ever measure up to someone like that.

Yin Shixiong tossed his phone onto his bed and went to Gu Nianzhi's room to talk to her.

Gu Nianzhi was already fast asleep on her bed.

She was lying on her side, her swollen cheek turned upwards. The corners of her mouth were wrinkled, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted together. She seemed to be in pain, even in her dreams.

It had been a long, miserable day for her.
