Woke Up And Had A Baby With My Mortal Enemy - Chapter 44

Chapter 44 – ‘How to Be a Big Man 1’

If he hadn’t personally heard it from Jiang Rong, Hang Sizhou would have really suspected that someone was trying to deceive him.

How could Xiao Hang say such things to others?

Was this really how Xiao Hang thought of him?

“Sir, are you sure you want to buy so many packets of chips?”

Hearing the polite voice of the supermarket employee beside him, Hang Sizhou came to his senses and realized that he had thrown a whole row of potato chips into his shopping cart.

Hang Sizhou quickly stuffed most of it back onto the shelf, and with red ears, he fled from the snacks section.

–

Hang Sizhou returned home dragging the shopping bags full of snacks. Just when he was about to put everything away, his mother, Ms. Shen called.

“Zhou Zhou, is the ring you posted in your circle of friends real?”

Hang Sizhou opened the refrigerator: “Mom, do you think I would wear a fake ring?”

Ms. Shen agreed with him: “Yes, if Xiao Hang gave you a fake diamond ring, you would probably be laughed at to death.”

Hang Sizhou was silent for a moment: “So Ms. Shen, don’t worry. The diamond is in my hands again. I can’t keep it for myself, but I can keep it for your granddaughter. It’s more or less the same.”

Ms. Shen remained silent for a while. Just when Hang Sizhou thought she was going to hang up the phone, Ms. Shen suddenly said, “Actually, Hang Hongsheng was also at the auction.”

Hang Sizhou: “Ah? He wanted to buy back the ring?”

Ms. Shen: “Well, he was at the auction. But an anonymous bidder kept raising the price until it reached an outrageous amount of $20 million. He had no choice but to give up.”

“I felt relieved for a long time. Anyway, even if he won the bid for the ring, it wasn’t for me.” Ms. Shen laughed. “Now I know it was Xiao Hang who competed with him. And in the end, he still returned it to you. I feel even better!”

The joy in Ms. Shen’s words was so clear that it could be clearly heard through the phone.

Hang Sizhou narrowed his eyes and said, “Don’t worry, Mom. There will be things that will make you happier in the future.”

Maybe the 27-year-old Hang Sizhou had a lot of ties, but the 18-year-old Hang Sizhou remembered nothing and didn’t need to hesitate about anything.

Just do it!

He opened the 【Brotherhood Alliance】 group.

【Zhou Zhou: Please send me the details of that auction. I want to go.】

Knowing that Hang Hongsheng had desperately wanted the ring, Hang Sizhou immediately changed his mind.

He had made up his mind to go to the auction, wearing the diamond ring to show off.

His scumbag father and his mistress were itching to see him but they can’t even touch him, it’s disgusting to death!

–

After putting away the things he had bought, seeing that it was almost time, Hang Sizhou heated up a bento and sat at the dining table to enjoy his lunch.

He has had a bad habit since high school of always doing something else while eating.

He used to scroll through his phone, but today Hang Sizhou didn’t really want to do that or watch TV.

His eyes swept towards the bedroom and an idea flashed in his mind.

He hadn’t finished reading the book given to him by Huang Yang, so he could now take the opportunity to read it.

The book was truly eye-opening. Every time he turned the page, Hang Sizhou exclaimed how awesome it was.

After reading for a while, he didn’t even want to eat. He picked up the book and sat there reading it seriously with great concentration.

“You’re reading a book?”

The sudden magnetic voice beside him was like thunder, which made Hang Sizhou almost jump up from his chair.

“You…you…..!”

The man looked down slowly: “What kind of book is so good that you didn’t even respond when I called your name?”

With a snap, Hang Sizhou turned the book over from the back cover and closed it: “A book for study.”

He frowned: “What are you doing back here?”

Xiao Hang held his suit in his arms: “I came back to see if a certain someone was regretting his decision and willing to go with me now.”

He paused suddenly.

Noticing that his eyes were fixed on the book in his hand, Hang Sizhou also lowered his head.

When he saw the big gold-plated words on the back cover, Hang Sizhou was completely stunned.

How could this be possible?

Wasn’t the book about how to be a tough guy 1? Why was there the complete opposite version on the back?

“‘How to Be a Big Man 0’?” Xiao Hang read the title of the book and looked at him sideways. “You are studying this?”

Hang Sizhou: “…”

Hang Sizhou was already dumbfounded.

–

Hang Sizhou: “I think I can explain.”

It was better to break the jar than to explain.

Hang Sizhou simply turned the book over and showed the other side to Xiao Hang.

“‘How to Be a Big Man 1’, this is what I was reading.”

Xiao Hang nodded seriously, looking like he believed it completely.

His calm attitude was completely beyond Hang Sizhou’s expectations. Hang Sizhou stared at him and asked, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Xiao Hang would look at him with a meaningful look in his eyes: “Learn more, that’s good.”

Hang Sizhou: “…” ‘Damn it, I shouldn’t have explained!’

Because of the small episode, Hang Sizhou was very angry when he got in the car. He was so angry that he completely forgot the most important thing.

He had clearly decided to go to the auction alone and give Xiao Hang a good scare when he got there.

Fortunately, he didn’t forget about the ring.

Hang Sizhou raised his hand.

Even inside the car where the light was not very bright, the diamond worth more than 100 million RMB was still sparkling and looking very eye-catching.

Thinking of what Ms. Shen had told him on the phone, Hang Sizhou couldn’t help but think:

Ms. Shen knew that Hang Hongsheng was bidding for the ring, so it was impossible for Xiao Hang not to know about it.

Then why did he insist on bidding against Hang Hongsheng to the end, even at the cost of buying it at a sky-high price?

Hang Sizhou turned his head and looked at Xiao Hang.

“Is something wrong?” The man noticed as soon as he moved.

Hang Sizhou didn’t look away: “I met Jiang Rong in the supermarket.”

Xiao Hang just said “Oh” without any reaction.

Hang Sizhou held his chin with one hand: “She said that Professor Jiang will be able to come to our city next week, and asked me to tell you.”

Xiao Hang nodded: “I understand.”

After relaying the message, Hang Sizhou still maintained his original posture, looking at Xiao Hang’s profile.

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked another question that he wanted to ask.

“Back in highschool, did you really tell Jiang Rong that I liked her and asked her to pay more attention to me?”

“…” Xiao Hang suddenly stepped on the accelerator and the car jumped forward.

Although he didn’t say anything, the muscles on the side of his face were obviously tense.

Hang Sizhou continued to ask calmly: “Why did you tell her all this? You were so cold to me before, and you didn’t cooperate with me no matter what I said. How come you were so kind all of a sudden?”

“Could it be that…” He stretched out his tone, dragging his voice, “some people say one thing on the surface, but hide another in their hearts, right?”

After a few seconds…

Xiao Hang turned his head: “Hang Sizhou.”

The man’s eyes were dark and dangerous, but ever since he received the big diamond ring and realized Xiao Hang’s ‘love’ for him, Hang Sizhou found that he seemed to understand the 28-year-old Xiao Hang a little.

Strangely enough, he couldn’t understand the 18-year-old version of Xiao Hang; but at the age of 28, the man who seemed more dangerous and complicated became easier to understand.

For example, although he looks ko fierce now, he is actually quite nervous.

The car continued to move forward.

Hang Sizhou looked at the man’s profile, and somehow his lips curled up.

He leaned back in his seat, folded his hands behind his head, and spoke slowly.

“Actually… I never liked Jiang Rong either.”

The author has something to say:

One book has two covers, the front side is ‘How to Be a Big Man 1’ and the back side is ‘How to Be a Big Man 1’, so neither side is wasted!

Mr. Xiao: My wife is so considerate.

Zhou Zhou Erkang: Let me explain!
