Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Protected for once (2)
Her response surprised not only Xu Qiao but also Fan Meilin. He was already on his way to the living room but paused when he heard Xu Qiao’s question as he wanted to hear what Luo Huian was going to say.

“You mean to say that it doesn’t matter that Brother Meilin is doing something behind your back or do you mean to say that you don’t care about what others say about Brother Meilin,” Xu Qiao asked.

He truly had no idea what he was doing and why he was asking these questions from Luo Huian, these questions were something that Fan Meilin should be asking.

However, given the kind of mer Fan Meilin was Xu Qiao knew that he would never ever bring these questions to his lips.

But Xu Qiao cared too much about Fan Meilin and couldn’t resist questioning Luo Huian.

Fan Meilin had suffered enough. There was no need for him to get his hopes up only to be let down again.

Luo Huian turned to look at the mer who was staring at her without looking away. Her brows furrowed as she replied, “Neither. Like I said to that woman, I don’t believe in things that I haven’t seen with my eyes.”

“So it doesn’t matter if he is going behind my back or someone is spreading false rumours about him—unless I see him doing something bad, I am not going to charge him as guilty.”

“You…” Xu Qiao’s eyes widened before they returned to normal. This was the first time he had heard a woman say such a thing.

Mers were an existence that was at the bottom of the pyramid. The top went to men while the middle went to the women. Of course, because the population of women was more than that of men, they were the ones who ruled the world.

As for the mers, they were left at the bottom to fend for themselves.

Men and women could sleep with anyone they wanted, when they wanted but a mer was expected to keep themselves chaste until they got married.

If not why would Fan Meilin be married off to Luo Huian, even though she was a good-for-nothing woman?

Because for a mer like Fan Meilin who lost his ability to give birth and even slept with a woman despite being the victim of her selfish and narcissistic lies— finding a decent woman was impossible.

He could have lied of course but everyone knew the affair between Liao Hong and Fan Meilin, not to mention their breakup wasn’t exactly pretty.

Because of this, no one wanted to accept Fan Meilin.

Half of the rumors that spread all over the city back then were not even true and yet no one believed Fan Meilin.

It was only when Madma Fan agreed to let her daughter-in-law have fifteen per cent of the shares of the Fan corporation that was she able to find Luo Huian.

That was the position of a mer in this world, as long as he had the smallest stain on his reputation, he was done for.

So, Luo Huian’s words were like a gust of warm breeze.

“Well, I guess we cannot believe just anything,” Xu Qiao smiled and remarked, causing Luo Huian to raise her eyebrow.

However, she didn’t ask him to elaborate, instead, she asked the one question that had been on her mind for a long time.

“You said that his activities are suspended. Can you tell me what’s going on?” Was that the reason Fan Meilin’s aura of gloom rising? If that was the case then she would have to think of a way to solve it.

If that mer did something unthinkable and she failed in her mission, Luo Huian would end up being locked in this world even longer. She didn’t want that to happen.

“That..”

“It’s because I have some feud with Liao Hong,” Fan Meilin stepped inside the room. He didn’t want to hide the truth from Luo Huian as this was what she deserved.

Since she had shown trust in him then he needed to show the right amount of trust in her as well.

With a cigar clenched between his teeth, he walked towards the couch and released a puff of smoke.

“You are right, what Ji Yao told you was nothing but nonsense,” Fan Meilin sat on the couch and crossed his legs before pulling the cigar out of his mouth. “I have enough sense to not go crawling back to the woman who has hurt me in the past. But there was one thing that she said was correct.”

He pinched the cigar between his fingers and confessed, “I did have a sort of relationship with Liao Hong. Though it’s over completely.”

A sudden silence fell over the three of them as Xu Qiao gazed at Fan Meilin. He seemed shocked and was silently asking Fan Meilin to stop speaking.

However, Fan Meilin was much more clear-headed than Xu Qiao. His assistant didn’t know the level of obsession that Liao Hong had for him.

She would not stop at anything in fact, she would try to make Luo Huian believe her even more by throwing her out of the loop.

Instead of waiting for Liao Hong to deliver the garbled version of their relationship, he might as well relay the truth to Luo Huian.

“And you are telling me this because this Liao woman is a sticky stalker or something?” Luo Huian asked. She might not be used to living in this world but she knew a stalker when she saw one.

It hadn’t been more than fifteen minutes since he came to Fan Meilin’s house and that woman named Ji Yao came looking for him.

“You …can say that,” Fan Meilin said with a small pause. “She asked me to do something and since I resent her enough to wake up with hope every day that she would die a horrible death—You can expect me to refuse her.”

“Since she didn’t like it, she suspended my activities.”

“And that’s making you upset?”
