Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 202: It’s Not Him_1

“What are you talking about? Let me hear it too.”

“We’re not talking about anything, I was just wishing Yueyue and Big brother Ruan everlasting happiness.” Xu Man hurriedly responded, afraid to continue their topic.

Liu Qianqian blinked her long eyelashes, her lips curving into a smile: “Oh, Yueyue and Big brother Ruan are finally together, I should toast to you guys.”

While Ruan Tianling and the others were happily celebrating at the club, Jian Yufei was alone in her little rented room, watching the news on television while eating a steaming hot pot.

Hot pot is most comforting in winter. Eating alone is boring, so she had hot pot, hoping it would make the meal a bit more enjoyable.

“Dear viewers, good evening. Welcome to our news flash. I am the host…”

Jian Yufei took a bite of the cooked tofu in her bowl. The spicy and scalding hot soup inside the tofu spilled out, causing her to take a gulp of water.

In the small pot, meatballs, lotus root slices, tofu, vegetables, shrimp balls, and enoki mushrooms were boiling.

These were all her favourite dishes. As she was about to eat a meatball she scooped with her spoon, she suddenly saw a familiar face appear on the TV screen.

The person was Vice Bureau Huang, whom she had accompanied for a meal last time.

The man on TV no longer looked flushed and spirited. He was hanging his head, handcuffed, and being escorted into a police car by two policemen.

A swarm of reporters rushed up, asking Vice Bureau Huang what crime he had committed.

Bai Shaoming, tall and majestic in his uniform, suddenly stepped in front of the reporters and said righteously, “The day before yesterday we received several anonymous reports alleging Vice Bureau Huang of corruption, abuse of power, and decadent lifestyle. Currently, we’ve gathered strong evidence against him. Vice Bureau Huang has been temporarily arrested and is awaiting legal sanctions…”

The meatball fell to the floor, rolled a few times and then stopped at the corner of the table.

Jian Yufei was stunned for a while. She hastily grabbed her phone and dialed Ruan Tianling’s number with trembling fingers.

The man in the club was playing cards with others. His phone rang, he took it out, and ‘Jian Yufei’ flashed on the screen.

Yan Yue, sitting next to him, glanced at the screen and her face turned slightly sullen.

“I’m going to take a call.” He put down his cards and got up to walk out of the private room.

Watching his retreating figure, Yan Yue felt a bit uncomfortable.

Jian Yufei had already divorced him, why was she still calling him!

Furthermore, why did he need to step out to take the call? What was he trying to hide from her?

Ruan Tianling closed the door and picked up the phone in the hallway. He asked indifferently, “What is it?”

“Was it him?!” Jian Yufei asked abruptly, suppression the anger raging inside her.

“What are you talking about?”

“Was it him? The man from that day, was he Mr. Huang?!”

Ruan Tianling frowned slightly. Before he could respond, Jian Yufei continued, “It was him, right! He was arrested today, was it your doing? Quickly tell me, was it him!”

She was clearly very emotional over the phone.

Ruan Tianling remembered her desolate expression in the car that day. Just thinking about it made his heart feel as if it was being tightly squeezed.

“It wasn’t him…” After much struggling and hesitating, he finally uttered these three words.

“Not him?!” Jian Yufei was shocked and confused, “Then who was it?”
