Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don’t Mess Around! Chapter 1178 - The Familiar Stranger

Chapter 1178: The Familiar Stranger

Xia Yiwei seemed to have really let go of Hou Zi. Every time Hou Zi appeared in front of her, she wouldn’t talk to him. She would turn and leave immediately. As for phone calls, she never called him voluntarily after she initiated the breakup.
She broke up with him when she said she would and stopped contacting him entirely. She was so clean and direct in this matter that Hou Zi was dumbfounded.
When a woman decided to be ruthless, she could be more ruthless than a man. Once a woman decided that she will stop loving you, it was harder to make her eat her words than to make a man do that.
Her quick hang-up caused Hou Zi’s expression to change immediately. He grasped his phone tightly. His men beside him couldn’t help but lower their heads. The only person who could make their Third Master Hou so angry but yet had to control it… It could only be Ms. Xia.
After some time, the air was also filled with killing intent. Hou Zi’s cold voice finally sounded in the room again. “One day. By tomorrow at this time, I want to know who’s the one spreading rumors about me!”
His voice was as cold as a thick layer of ice. It was so cold that his assistant’s legs started shaking.
It had been a long time since Third Master got angry. The assistant realized that he couldn’t remember the last time Third Master got angry. It was at least three years ago.
“I’ve already sent someone to check. Once there’s news, I will report to you.”
Hou Zi’s men were smart people. If this matter affected Xia Yiwei, they would deal with it immediately and place it as their priority. They didn’t dare to waste any time.
Especially when there was a rumor that the Third Master had a relationship with a senior high student. There were even more reasons to settle this issue immediately.
“Bring the person to me. I haven’t seen someone who dared to spread dating rumors about me in a while.” Hou Zi stood up and pulled his tie in frustration. “I will go out for a while. Call the CEO of Chengguang Corporation. Tell him that I have some urgent matters to attend to. I will set a time tomorrow to apologize to him.”
This was the first time she called him voluntarily in the past few hundred days. He knew that she viewed this matter with high importance.
Of course, he wouldn’t think that she cared about this matter because of him.
When she spoke, she said that this matter was probably targeted at Ye Jian. Sigh, even though it was just a 16-second call, he didn’t expect that she would call him because of Old Sixth’s girlfriend!
They had been in a relationship for 17 years so they more or less knew what the other person’s next course of action was. When Xia Yiwei drove her car and appeared at the entrance of Provincial No.1 Middle School, she saw the man she was most familiar with standing handsomely in front of a black sedan with one of his hands in his pocket. He was waiting for her with a distant expression.
“You’re here.” Hou Zi walked over and looked at his lover whom he could hug anytime as long as he opened his arms in the past. Now, it was hard to even see her. His heart hurt a little. He didn’t know how they arrived at this stage.
Xia Yiwei took off her sunglasses and revealed her clean eyes. At 35 years old, her eyes were still as clear as a young girl’s. This was rare.
She looked at Hou Zi calmly and gave a small smile. “Something happened to Old Sixth’s girlfriend. As his sister, I have to come over.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
“There’s no need to trouble Third Master Hou for my family affairs. Also, please deal with your issues properly. Don’t implicate my family.” The smile on her face disappeared slowly. Xia Yiwei rejected Hou Zi as her expression turned cold. “I don’t wish for Ye Jian to get implicated because of your matter and make Old Sixth worry. I don’t want Ye Jian to suffer because of you either.”
