A Billion Dollar Exchange

Chapter 161 - Let's Go Eat...



"Liu Wei!, something bad has happened, Liling... she was not selected!! she's been crying, come to X dynasty!!..."

Xin Yong quickly exclaimed over the phone, but before she could continue or let Liu Wei reply, Liling who was coming after her immediately snatched the phone away.

She cleared her voice and tried to sound as calm as possible as she spoke to the person on the other end.

"Liu Wei, it's nothing serious, don't bother with Xin Yong, she's just acting petty, haha! "

Liling tried to sound calm, but the coarseness at the end of her voice betrayed her.

The person on the other end didn't utter a word. Liling could sense that Liu Wei was angry at this point, there was silence for a while before he cut the call.

"What's wrong with you Liling? what's wrong with you?, while can't you let him help you? this is the Music Industry for crying out loud, it's not easy to thrive,you need him by your side!"

Xin Yong angrily screamed at her friend whose face was bent low as she watched her phone silently.

"I don't want to owe him anymore, he's done a lot already... "

"So you don't consider him a friend right? how can you say such? how do you expect him to feel when you and I know that he likes you! "

Xin Yong was visibly shaken, her face red from anger. She really didn't understand what her friend was thinking.

Liling lifted her eyes to look at Xin Yong, then exhaled lightly.

"It's not what you think, I just don't want to trouble him anymore, I... "

"You know what, it's okay;"

Xin Yong cut her off, not wanting to hear anymore. She rubbed her temples and looked at Liling sorrowfully.

"Let's just go home, we've received enough headache for today. "

With that, she held Liling's hand and they both walked towards the exit. As they approached, they saw a familiar figure leaning on a car, arms crossed infront of him.

His face was frosted with great anger. His eyes were piercing and glaring intently at them, or rather at her.

Liling at that moment realised that she was in trouble.

"Get in!"

Liu Wei opened the passenger's seat and commanded in an angry tone as they approached, not waiting to hear any reply, he walked over to the driver's seat and sat down.

Liling knowing she had committed evil, didn't want to sit beside him, so she immediately opened the back seat and sat together with Xin Yong.

Liu Wei, seeing her actions, got angrier than he had been before. His knuckles turned pale white as a result of the force he held the steering with.

"Come over here!!"

Liu Wei's voice sent the two girls trembling on their seats. Liling felt shivers run down her spine that moment. She didn't realize when she had sprang up from her seat and went over to the front.

None of them had seen him this angry. He had not shouted at Liling in that manner before. As she sat down, she pressed herself to the door, so that almost half of the seat was unoccupied. Liu Wei just glanced at her then started the ignition and drove off.

Throughout the journey, no-one uttered a word, Xin Yong didn't know how to tell him to drop her off or where to do so. His jaws were so clenched that she knew better than to talk.

Midway, Liu Wei took out his phone and called Jin Yue.

"Where are you?"

He didn't care for pleasantries, he just went onto what he called him for.

Jin Yue was quite taken aback by his tone, he wondered what has gotten his friend so worked up. He decided to let it go and ask about it later, it was obvious this was not the right time.

"I am at home, just came back now. "

"Okay. "

Liu Wei without waiting for a response, cut the call and put the phone back into his pocket.

He, who was driving to Jin Yue's company, turned around and drove straight to Jin Yue's home. After about thirty minutes, he arrived in his estate, then parked his car outside the gate. He turned off the ignition and turned to talk to Xin Yong for the first time.

"He's home, thanks for calling me over. "

Xin Yong smiled gratefully. At that moment, she could give anything to disappear from the car.

"Thanks..."

She said as she dropped from the car. She managed to keep the smile as she waved them goodbye. As soon as the car disappeared from sight, Xin Yong heaved a sigh of relief.

She quickly turned around and walked towards the gates__ his best friend needed to hear this!

Liling felt sweat break out on her forehead. The car was as quiet as a graveyard, only the sound made by the tires against the tarred road could be heard. Lliling could feel the man by her side getting colder, he was driving at an alarming speed and Liling couldn't help but shrink towards the door.

Liu Wei turned to look at the woman beside him, she was almost hugging the door due to fear. He had not intended to scare her but he was very mad.

To think that she refused to tell him about such an important thing, was not enough. She still had the guts to tell him to forget about it!

HA! what does she take him for?

It showed that she didn't trust him with her affairs or anything concerning her.

Just thinking of it was almost pulling his heart out, he felt his throat tighten up as he tried to concentrate on the road and not on the sad thoughts in his mind.

Liu Wei didn't want to talk to Liling when he was angry, so he drove around the city till he got tired. He felt his anger dissipate till he was even angry at himself for making her so scared.

Arriving at a restaurant, he parked his car and stepped out, walking over to Liling's side, he opened the door for her.

Liling who was leaning on the door, nearly fell down when Liu Wei opened the door, Liu Wei caught her immediately and helped her up.

"Have you had lunch?, let's go eat..."

" "

Liling was taken aback. She was surprised by Liu Wei's sudden change of mood. The frosted expression he wore a while ago had dissipated. His eyes were deep blue and dreamy as they stared at her lovingly.

She wondered if he was still the same person so angry a while ago.

Blinking her eyes severally, she nodded quietly and Liu Wei closed the door behind her then led her towards the entrance of the restaurant.
