The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 831: Chapter 328: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 12)

Today, He Jingtian was working as a translator for a foreign trade company.

Sitting across from him was a group of investors from the USA, among them a wealthy businessman named Su Xuezhou, who from the first moment he saw He Jingtian, kept glancing at him from time to time.

After his rebirth, He Jingtian’s six senses became particularly acute, and he quickly sensed this peculiar gaze.

While dutifully translating, he discreetly sized up Su Xuezhou in return.

Who is this person?

Oh, right, during the introduction, they said he was a Chinese national from the USA, named Su Xuezhou, originally from the Provincial City.

This Mr. Su had been abroad for twenty or thirty years, and now with the Mainland soliciting foreign investment, he returned to contribute.

But why does he keep looking at me?

And with such focused yet hazy eyes, as if he’s searching for a shadow of someone through me!

Su Xuezhou, this name is so unfamiliar.

He Jingtian carefully recalled, but whether in his past or present life, he had no impression of him.

However, today he was here to work; since he’s been paid, he must do a good job.

Setting aside these questions for now, He Jingtian continued translating earnestly.

An hour later, when the discussions took a break, Su Xuezhou seized the opportunity to approach He Jingtian and politely engage in small talk with a gentle smile.

”Young man, your English is very standard. Have you studied abroad?”

As Su Xuezhou came closer, he could see his features more clearly and increasingly felt that this child looked too familiar, almost identical to the little sister he had worried about for more than twenty years.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he tried to ask in a calm tone.

He Jingtian shook his head, ”No, I’m only a junior this year, still studying at S University, and haven’t been abroad.”

”Oh, I see. Then your parents must be very outstanding people who nurtured you from a young age!” Su Xuezhou continued to probe.

He Jingtian nodded, then shook his head, ”In my eyes, my parents are surely the best in the world, but due to various reasons, neither my father nor mother could help with my studies.”

His excellence came partly from his own efforts and partly from the opportunity provided by his rebirth.

Of course, now known as the filial son of the Provincial City, it’s his duty to maintain his parents’ image and reputation.

Su Xuezhou wanted to continue questioning, but the second half of the meeting started again.

He had to postpone this matter for now and returned to the venue to continue discussing the project.

After the meeting ended, watching He Jingtian’s hurried figure, there was no time to call out to him, nor did he catch up. Instead, he instructed the person beside him, ”Go and check for me—”

That evening, staying in the hotel arranged by the local investment department, Su Xuezhou’s assistant had already gathered some information and held a newspaper.

”That student, He Jingtian, is quite a celebrity in the Provincial City. He was born in a remote mountain village; his father died unexpectedly, and his mother, due to health issues, couldn’t live alone. So, he took his mother to college with him!”

”Look, he was even reported by the local newspaper. Here’s the photo, take a look!”

The assistant spoke while laying the newspaper flat in front of Su Xuezhou.

”He took his mother to college?”

Wearing reading glasses, the headline instantly caught his eye.

However, he didn’t rush to read the report, instead, his gaze fell on the photo.

”Xueqing? It’s really Xueqing!”

A great shock hit Su Xuezhou’s heart, and his hands trembled slightly.

Although over twenty years had passed and the woman in the photo had become haggard, aged, as her older brother, he recognized her at a glance.

”Mental illness? How can that be? How could my Xueqing have gone insane?”

Promptly, he skimmed the report, ten lines at a glance.

He accurately grasped a few key points, and the most heartbreaking was the description of ”Mother He” in the report.

Madness, unclear mind, unable to take care of herself!

His once adorable, sensible sister, how could she go mad?

During the years she was separated from the family, what had she gone through?!

Having lived over fifty years, Su Xuezhou was certainly no fool.

Having engaged in business abroad for many years, he understood the darkness of society and the ugliness of human nature better than anyone.

Just from a few lines in the newspaper, he could make numerous speculations.

And each speculation filled him with anger and heartache.

No, he must see his sister immediately, he needs to see with his own eyes how she is doing now, he must—
