Stealing Your Heart Chapter 264

“What are the both of you doing?” Zong Jinghao questioned. Lin Xinyan could hear the irritation in his tone.

She paused for 3 seconds, and tried to remain calm, before she replied, “He just sent me back.”

“Okay, he sent you back. But is there a need for him to be so close to you? Or am I seeing things?” Zong Jinghao sneered.

Lin Xinyan’s eyelids twitched upon hearing what Zong Jinghao said. This guy is so petty!

“Jinghao…” Lin Xinyan tried to explain.

Before she could finish her sentence, Zong Jinghao cut her off, “Get in.”

Lin Xinyan felt her heart skip a beat. With a heavy heart, she entered the hotel.

“Mr. Bai, could you get out of the car? Let’s have a talk.” Zong Jinghao’s voice was calm but obviously, he was masking his genuine emotions.

With the help of Gao Yuan, Bai Yinning got down from the car. Zong Jinghao went ahead towards the garden beside the hotel with Bai Yinning trailing behind him.

“What do you want to tell me, Mr. Zong?”

Stopping in his tracks, Zong Jinghao turned behind and faced Bai Yinning. Before he could react, Zong Jinghao grabbed his collar and pulled Bai Yinning towards himself. His grip was so strong, Bai Yinning was lifted up from the wheelchair.

“Did you not understand my warning?” Zong Jinghao threatened.

As Bai Yinning was being strangled by his collar, he struggled to answer, “It’s…it’s not what you think. It’s a misunderstanding. I met with Ms. Lin because I wanted to ask her a few questions.”

Zong Jinghao snickered. It was apparent that he did not believe anything Bai Yinning had said. Zong Jinghao could tell that Bai Yinning loved Lin Xinyan, even without her reciprocating his feelings.

“If you are willing to ask Ms. Lin about the past, the truth can be unveiled. We won’t have to spend so much effort to investigate it. After all, finding out the past isn’t that easy…”

Zong Jinghao strengthened his grip and stopped Bai Yinning from continuing. Zong Jinghao slightly lowered his head and intimidated, “Yes, I am interested in what happened to Cheng Yuxiu. However, I would never force Lin Xinyan to do anything that she is unwilling to. You have passed my bottom-line. The cooperation between both of us is now over. You can rely on yourself to find out the truth.”

Finally, Zong Jinghao let him go, and Bai Yinning fell back onto the wheelchair.

Bai Yinning was not willing to concede. “Have you ever thought if someone was hiding the truth intentionally, how much of the truth can we find out? Or, how long would it take to know the truth?”

Pausing in his tracks, Zong Jinghao sniggered, “So what if the truth was never found out?”

They were not in the same situation, to begin with. Bai Yinning wanted to find out the truth to avenge for his foster father. On the other hand, Zong Jinghao was simply curious about what happened to Cheng Yuxiu.

Why did Cheng Yuxiu have to hide her surname? Also, how was it possible for Zong Qifeng to not know about it at all?

Zong Jinghao knew Cheng Yuxiu had secrets. Yet, even if he was curious, he would never force Lin Xinyan to reveal anything she didn’t want to.

Actually, deep down Zong Jinghao was afraid to know the truth. He could sense that Lin Xinyan had changed her attitude towards her due to that secret.

That secret was able to change her attitude; so it would definitely cause a stir if it was unveiled. It might even involve him.

He was stuck in a dilemma. Zong Jinghao was curious about the truth, yet afraid to know it.

In the hotel, Su Zhan arranged a dinner to welcome his grandma’s arrival. As everyone gathered around in the function room, the only person who had yet to arrive was Zong Jinghao.

Lin Xinyan hugged her daughter, trying to distract herself and mask her uneasiness. She was not sure whether Zong Jinghao and Bai Yinning had ended up in a conflict.

“Let me introduce you to my grandma! She was the one who singlehandedly raised me,” Su Zhan beamed.

Grandma did not cooperate with him. “Who doesn’t know I’m your grandma? Save the introduction! You told me you’re going to get married by the end of the year, but who is your girlfriend?”

Upon hearing what she said, Su Zhan felt something wither within him.

Grandma seemed to be possessed. In every single conversation they had, she would only ask about his girlfriend and about their marriage!

Throughout the entire afternoon, that was the only thing she was harping on. It was driving Su Zhan nuts! Now, all he wanted to do was to find any woman he could tie the knots immediately with, just to stop Grandma from nagging!
