Chapter 113 It's truly hard to guard against a thief within your own family.
"What a coincidence, you're here too." Huang Meng looked at Xu Ao, who was looking up at her with a blank and helpless expression. Despite feeling a dull pain in her heart, she still forced a smile and said.
“Huang Meng, you, how could you…” Xu Ao said, looking at Zhao Meng behind him, “It’s you.”
A fierce glint flashed in Xu Ao's eyes. Zhao Meng knew he had misunderstood, so he quickly followed up and said, "It wasn't me. It has nothing to do with me. One should take responsibility for one's own actions." This last sentence was meant for Xu Ao's ears.
"Why is it you again? You're like a ghost, why are you hitting Xu Ao again?" Hu Sixuan, who was busy taking selfies, was about to speak when she saw Huang Meng walking over, but then she saw Zhao Meng following behind and said irritably, "You're like a ghost, I mean the two of them."
Huang Meng also noticed that while she was speaking, her eyes were glaring at her and Zhao Meng without any politeness, and then she rolled her eyes.
Zhao Meng didn't even glance at her, and said to Xu Ao, "What, you two are here to eat too? Isn't that a coincidence?" Xu Ao's gaze remained fixed on Huang Meng's face. He watched her expression change from surprise to nervousness, and finally smiled at Huang Meng as if relieved.
Huang Meng looked at his expression intently. He had lost some weight, and there was a light stubble on his chin. He was such a clean and tidy person, and she had only ever seen him like this when they were dealing with that group of mercenaries together. Through his glasses, his eyes were still open and sincere, and filled with endless tenderness.
"Ouch, that hurts!" Just as everyone was silent, Huang Meng walked up to Xu Ao with a smile and punched him hard in the stomach.
Zhao Meng watched Xu Ao clutching his stomach from behind and secretly found it amusing. He thought Xu Ao deserved it, but Huang Meng probably didn't have much strength and had overacted.
"That's enough, does it really hurt that much?" Xu Ao had just tried to gain Huang Meng's sympathy through a sob story, but Zhao Meng ruthlessly exposed his lies.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute." Xu Ao straightened up and glared at Zhao Meng.
"You're like a mute, keeping so many things to yourself these past few days without telling me a word, huh!" Huang Meng said with a smile, but her words sent a chill down Xu Ao's spine.
"I don't want to say anything like 'Listen to my explanation,' because I haven't done anything to wrong you. There's just something I haven't told you, because I was afraid you'd worry," Xu Ao said earnestly, looking at her.
"Hey, who are you?!" Hu Sixuan, who was standing to the side, watched Xu Ao and Huang Meng talking back and forth. The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She quickly stood in front of Xu Ao and forced Huang Meng to take a few steps back.
"You scoundrel, go play somewhere else."
Zhao Meng stepped forward to help Huang Meng, who almost fell, and looked at Hu Sixuan with impatience.
"Hey, who are you calling a leech!" Sure enough, Zhao Meng immediately got angry and pointed at his nose, wanting to argue with him.
"He said so."
Zhao Meng refused to take the blame and pointed at Xu Ao, saying, "If you don't believe me, ask him."
Hu Sixuan, of course, didn't believe him and was about to confront him with a fierce expression.
Fortunately, things were much quieter around Huang Meng and Xu Ao. Huang Meng watched Xu Ao take two steps forward and said with a smile, "If I hadn't run into you here today, were you planning to wait until you got to S country before telling me this?"
"No, I might tell you the truth tonight."
"So you're taking the flight early tomorrow morning?"
"You're incredibly intelligent; you understand so quickly," Xu Ao quickly flattered.
"What time is your flight tomorrow?" Huang Meng ignored him and continued to ask.
"Tomorrow at 11 a.m., that's the only trip each day." The reason Xu Ao dared to tell her this directly was because now, going to S country requires documents, and not just anyone can go.
"Okay, Xu Ao, I wish you a safe journey tomorrow." Huang Meng turned and left after saying that, leaving Xu Ao alone. What did she mean by that? Why wasn't she angry? Didn't she blame me? Didn't she even ask when I would be back? Just like that, she left?
"Hmph, you bastard, don't let me see you again!" Hu Sixuan, who had been defeated, shouted at Zhao Meng's back. Huang Meng pulled Zhao Meng away, leaving Xu Ao alone to listen to the noise.
"This is outrageous! How dare they talk about me like that! I'm so angry!"
"Be quiet for a while!" Xu Ao said helplessly. He still hadn't figured out what Huang Meng meant, but he could tell that she was really angry.
