Chapter 486 - Did you trick me?

When finally saw her phone ringing, Wen Sying rushed clumsily to receive it before it went dead. It was now already becoming hard for her to reach the man and without his help, she didn't think she would be able to escape the things this time.

"Mr Han, are you now planning to leave me alone in all this? You – You better don't think any such thing because, in all these plans, I have never been alone. You were there with me. Now that Li Xue is out for revenge, I – I would not take the things alone". She blurted every word out with some urgency. Her voice stumbling over one another, given to the trebling stature she was carrying at the moment.

But in response to all her urgency, she only got to hear a loud rumble of mocking chuckle. Wen Sying's face immediately paled hearing that. Her lips sealed for some reasons, waiting to hear the other side first.

"He who cheats the earth will be cheated by the earth!" Suddenly, the man said on the call pausing his laughter. "That year, Ms Wen along with her team thought to cheat me then how come she has got the guts to come to ask my help now. Do I look like a fool who would get himself involved in some dirt just to help the woman who has once conned him?"

The woman bit her lower lips when heard the man but still not giving her mask away, she tried to lie as she asked with the laughter of surprise, "Mr Han, what are you saying? When did I cheat you? I helped you get Li Xue that night as per our deal and here you are blaming me for duping you. Don't just say anything that you feel like, just to shrug off the responsibility."

"Seems like Ms Wen has understood every other man to be someone like Mr Zheng Wenting, who would blindly believe every word she would speak? That's a blunder you are thinking, Ms Wen, I am not Mr Zheng" the man bit back, making the woman instantly pause in her thoughts. "5 years ago, I know what trick you had played on me. You double-crossed me. Just to save that woman, you drugged my drink with sleeping pills. And at the same time kicked your rival out of the industry".

"I did no such thing, Mr Han. Why would I do that? After all, I would never bite the hand that came forward to help me. Li Xue was the price I have to pay to make my career shoot, so I paid for it. As in the room what you did to her was not my concern" Wen Sying tried her best to persuade but she, herself, knew well that the man was not in the mood to get persuaded.

"Ms Wen, I heard you enough. Please don't call me the next time to hinder my precious time. I don't know any way in which I could help you". Mr Han said, simply shrugging the responsibility off his shoulders.

The woman's brows wrinkled at his words. Getting all desperate, thinking that she would be finished with Li Xue's revenge, she shouted out loud, "Mr Han, I am warning you. Don't think that I can't do anything to you. I still have the proof that could ruin you. Save me before I got on my way to ruin you. And believe me, I can do it for sure".

She warned and in her voice, her anxiousness was clearly dominating the menacing tone.

Hearing her that way the man sighed on the other side of the call and Wen Sying felt her heart relaxing for a bit. He was about to disconnect the call but she could feel his thoughts changing when saw the call still remaining ongoing after a few seconds.

"Ms Wen, you are quite bothersome. But even if you blackmail me like this, I don't think I could help you much. I could only help you with your career with some here and there. But handling that woman … Li Xue would not be something I could afford. If I had been that capable then I would have not asked for your help 5 years ago. Furthermore, I am away from the country and will only return next week for some good business. So, instead of asking for my help, it will only be better for you to think of your own ways". Mr Han clarified his side to make her understand.

Of course, he was not wrong in his thoughts. Back then the whole industry knew what sharp wind Li Xue was on her own. If not that scandal, there would have no one to question her righteousness and image.

"Let's meet and discuss next week, Mr Han. I don't think you would be so helpless to not come to any help for me". Wen Sying said, before disconnecting the call.

The next morning, Li Xue was combing her wavy locks in front of her dresser. Her eyes, continuously staring at the serious expression of the man in the mirror.

"Do you want to ask anything?" Suddenly she heard him ask and she shook her head in denial.

"Nope! There is nothing", she replied.

"You have put the moisturizer twice already. One more time will make it thrice. Have you changed your skincare routine, giving your moisturizer more importance?" He said, closing the file he was working on. He stared at her, raising his brows lightly in askance.

Li Xue tsked at her own doings internally as she quickly lidded up the jar of moisturizer back. "Ohh, I was busy thinking about something."

"And what was that?"

"Are you going to work from home, Mr Beelzebub? It's already time and you have not yet left?" she said, instantly making the man quirk his brow up with some mixed expression that was both amusing and demanding her to reveal the things.

"Mr Beelzebub, have you tricked me to sign the marriage certificate with you already?"
