Honest Beta gets scammed

With Li Qing deliberately speeding things up, the meal didn't last long.

After finishing his own food, he glanced at the plate in front of He Xiangchen, feeling puzzled.

Feeling that it was a waste of food, I almost said, "If you're not going to eat it, I'll eat it for you," but I swallowed the words back. No, no, that would be too embarrassing, making me look like a glutton.

The waiter quickly came over to clear the plates. When it came time to pay the bill, Li Qingxin was on tenterhooks again. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. He Xiangchen simply gave his name, and the waiter nodded and left.

Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that the money had probably been successfully deducted from the He family's bill.

Then she followed He Xiangchen and left in the elevator. The elevator was a closed space with no outsiders. Li Qing glanced at He Xiangchen and whispered, "I thought your illegitimate son would cause you trouble."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, He Xiangchen turned his head to glance at Li Qing, the corners of his mouth curving upwards as he smiled and said, "This restaurant is a bit big, it's inconvenient for him."

Li Qing listened with a vague understanding, not quite understanding why it was inconvenient, but he didn't ask further.

The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor. The lobby was still bustling with people. Many people recognized He Xiangchen, but seeing that he was accompanied by an unfamiliar Beta, they wisely refrained from disturbing him, exchanging knowing glances with each other.

Mr. He brought his new bag, Little Sparrow, to dinner.

He Xiangchen led Li Qing out of the restaurant and all the way to the parking lot. He turned to look at Li.

"You live in the Twilight Nebula dorms, right? I'll give you a ride."

Li Qing nodded upon hearing this, then remembered that she hadn't moved yet, and quickly said, "Oh, um, no, I'm not going to the dormitory. Could you please take me to 189 Changgu Street?"

"Changgu Street?"

He Xiangchen went through the place name in his mind and roughly remembered the location; the area consisted of old residential areas.

"What are you doing there?"

"Oh, I used to live there, and I left some things there that I haven't brought to my dorm yet. I'll go get them."

He Xiangchen nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there. You wait for me here."

As he spoke, he turned and walked toward the parking lot, preparing to drive his car out.

Li Qing stood obediently at the restaurant entrance waiting for He Xiangchen, watching the luxury cars coming and going. He was still thinking about the meal he had just had. Although he didn't know the exact price, it certainly wasn't cheap. He was already planning how to get back to He Xiangchen.

It seems that no matter how he repays He Xiangchen, it's not a fair exchange, given his financial resources.

Just as he was pondering this, He Xiangyuan walked out of the restaurant arm in arm with his girlfriend.

He ate to his heart's content. Unlike He Xiangchen, he thought the food at Sky Dome was quite delicious and didn't care which floor he sat on; he was simply there to fill his stomach.

As soon as he reached the entrance to the parking lot, he spotted Li Qing standing outside.

Isn't this the Beta who came with his brother?

He Xiangyuan raised an eyebrow and released his grip on his girlfriend's arm.

Seeing this, Yan Shihuan frowned slightly, knowing he was having another episode. "Oh dear, what are you doing now?"

"Nothing, I was just saying hello."

He Xiangyuan waved his hand, a smile on his face, and walked straight toward Li Qing.

He quietly walked up behind Li Qing, then raised his hand and patted Li Qing's shoulder in a very familiar manner.

Li Qing was pondering how much He Xiangchen's car was worth when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and he instinctively turned his head.

A smiling young face came into view.

Hi~

This face bears a striking resemblance to He Xiangchen, but is noticeably more youthful and boyish. Li Qing was momentarily stunned, his mind blank for a couple of seconds, but he quickly remembered seeing this person at the elevator entrance.

This guy... isn't he He Xiangchen's illegitimate son?!

Li Qing's mental alarm instantly went off. He covered the shoulder where he had just been patted, glared at the other person with a face full of vigilance and dissatisfaction, and took several large steps to the side to create a safe distance, ignoring He Xiangyuan.

He Xiangyuan:? ?

What's going on today? Is he really that disliked? Why is everyone ignoring him?

He Xiangyuan was a little confused. He looked Li Qing up and down. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a clean-cut demeanor. His face wasn't particularly striking, and he was completely different from his brother's previous types.

My brother recently switched to a vegetarian diet? His tastes are so bland.

He Xiangyuan was puzzled, but he still smiled and didn't mind Li Qing's previous avoidance. He approached again with a grin and introduced himself this time.

"Don't be nervous, He Xiangchen is my brother. I just came to say hello since you were with my brother."

It's more like they're coming to threaten us!

Li Qing remained silent, lowered her head, and took another step to the side, wishing she could stay as far away from him as possible.

He knew this illegitimate child must have come to gather information.

How shameless! He bullies He Xiangchen so badly at home, but now that they're outside and there are strangers around, he calls him "brother" so affectionately?

I despise you!

He Xiangyuan:? ? ?

He Xiangyuan was truly baffled now.

If it was understandable that the Beta was indifferent to him before because he didn't know him, it's even more understandable now that he has introduced himself. The other party is still ignoring him and seems to dislike him even more.

Yan Shihuan also sensed that something was wrong, and slowly walked over to stand next to He Xiangyuan: "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Li Qing immediately sensed something was wrong.

Oh no! This illegitimate child brought accomplices! Are those two planning to ambush me?

Thinking of this, Li Qing tensed up even more, staring at the traffic ahead without glancing at the two of them, adopting an attitude that said, "You won't get any information out of me."

He Xiangyuan blinked, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the Beta's hostility towards him seemed to have intensified.

That doesn't make sense. Could it be that he wasn't clear enough just now?

He Xiangyuan chuckled and could only explain again: "I really am He Xiangchen's younger brother, a member of the He family. I just came to say hello, that's all. If you don't believe me, just ask him later."

As he spoke, He Xiangyuan suddenly realized a problem.

Where's his brother? Why did he leave him here all alone?

As if in response to his question, a Mercedes sped into the parking lot and came to a smooth stop on the side of the road. Looking at the driver's seat, it was He Xiangchen!

He Xiangyuan was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to call out "Brother", he saw Li Qing suddenly move!

Li Qing stepped forward, deftly opened the passenger door, jumped in, and slammed the door shut with a "bang".

Before He Xiangyuan could even say a word, the Mercedes-Benz stepped on the gas without hesitation and sped away, leaving him only a trail of exhaust fumes.

Yan Shihuan stood by the roadside, watching the car drive away, her gaze slowly shifting to her boyfriend's face.

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your relationship with your brother?"

He Xiangyuan: "..."
