Chapter 126: Leave Him, You Are Not Worthy!

Page (1/3)

Zhao Sijie was momentarily stunned, then grew cautious. "That's right, who are you? What do you want from me?"

"No need to be nervous, Miss Zhao. Our Third Master wishes to see you. We're just across the street at the restaurant. Please accompany us," the man in black replied.

"I don't know any Third Master, and I don't dine with strangers. Sorry," Zhao Sijie said uneasily.

"Miss Zhao, please don't make this difficult for us. If you refuse, we'll have to bring you there by force."

In an instant, several men surrounded her.

Zhao Sijie nearly dropped the takeout box in her hands, terrified. Seeing these men were professional bodyguards, escaping was impossible. Reluctantly, she said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"Miss Zhao, this way please."

Zhao Sijie got into their car, constantly searching for a chance to secretly message Xia Yu, but they watched her every second.

She dared not take any risks; who knew what they might do.

Soon, they stopped outside the restaurant opposite. Zhao Sijie steadied her nerves and walked in with them.

They entered a private room and knocked before entering.

Zhao Sijie felt both nervous and suspicious — who exactly were these people? There were so many bodyguards.

At least ten stood outside, and another ten were inside the room.

A refined middle-aged man wearing glasses, around fifty years old, stood from his chair and said, "Welcome, Miss Zhao. It’s an honor to meet you."

"Hello, and you are?" Zhao Sijie asked, sensing no hostility, feeling slightly relieved.

"Please, Miss Zhao, have a seat," the man invited, pulling out a chair.

Zhao Sijie nodded cautiously and sat down.

The man took the seat opposite her, gesturing to the sumptuous dishes on the table. "We've ordered quite a feast. I wonder if it suits your taste?"

"I... I've already had dinner. Sir, please get to the point. I still need to deliver food to my mother," Zhao Sijie replied.

"Miss Zhao, you truly are a filial child. The woman Xia Yu admires is indeed a good girl," the man smiled.

"You... you know Yu Ge?" Zhao Sijie asked in surprise.

"Of course," the man said with a half-smile. "I probably know him better than you do."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Sijie was puzzled.

The man took a sip of his wine and continued, "Miss Zhao, you probably don’t know Xia Yu’s true identity, do you?"

"Say what you mean," she frowned.

The man smiled and said, "Do you know who his father is?"

"Yu Ge never talked to me about his father," Zhao Sijie shook her head.

"Let me tell you then," the man said. "His father is Xia Qingyuan, the head of the Xia family."

"And the Xia family is a reclusive clan. They operate discreetly but have disciples all over the world, controlling thousands of companies with assets worth trillions."

"Xia Yu is the young master of the Xia family and could one day become its heir."

"Wha... what..."

Zhao Sijie was so shocked she stood up abruptly, mouth agape.

She couldn’t believe it — trillions in assets? Young master of the Xia family?

This was beyond anything she could imagine.

The Xia Yu she knew was a son-in-law of the Lin family, despised and abandoned by many, but practical and sunny. Apart from knowing how to fight, he was just an ordinary person.

"No... that can’t be. You’re lying."

"Who exactly are you? What do you want?" Zhao Sijie asked, agitated.

"Of course I’m not lying. I watched him grow up. I am one of the Xia family," the Third Master chuckled lightly. "As for what I want, I just want you to leave him."

"Leave... him?" Zhao Sijie shook her head firmly. "Impossible. Why would I leave Yu Ge?"

"Heh, he is the young master of the Xia family, with assets worth trillions, and you are like a Cinderella," the Third Master said coldly. "Do you think you deserve him?"

"There’s no fairy tale about Cinderella and princes in reality. You need to face the facts."

"The young mistress of the Xia family must be a phoenix among women, excellent in every way."

"But you’re just a small restaurant manager from a humble background. You don’t deserve him!"

Zhao Sijie’s heart tightened. The food in her hands fell to the floor. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Her body trembled slightly, overwhelmed by a wave of self-doubt.

"No... that’s not true. Yu Ge and I truly love each other. Don’t even think about breaking us apart," she said, shaking her head passionately.

"Heh, ridiculous," the Third Master sneered. "If you really loved each other, why would he hide this from you?"

"Wake up, young lady. Xia Yu is the young master of the Xia family. Women who want to marry him line up all the way to America."

"Do you think he would marry an ordinary, plain woman like you? He’s only tired of wealth and glory, wanting to experience a simple life."

"And you’re nothing more than a transitional figure to him. Instead of being heartlessly abandoned later, it’s better to let go now. I’ll even give you a large sum of money, enough to ensure you and your mother never worry about food or clothing again."

"No, I won’t believe you," Zhao Sijie shook her head repeatedly, resolute. "If Yu Ge truly doesn’t want me, have him tell me himself. I won’t believe you."

With that, she turned and walked out.

"Stop!!"
