Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 180
Sophie stared at Zhao Dong, and it took a long time before she asked, "Zhao Dong, I think you are a little different today?"

Zhao Dong replied to her, "It's nothing different, it's just that you all thought I was a little security guard in the past, who was soft-spoken and never listened to my words seriously."

Sophie's thoughts were exposed, and she explained unnaturally: "You think too much."

Zhao Dong's tone today was particularly tough, "Actually, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago. I, Zhao Dong, are not as useless as your Su family thinks. It's just that the current society is a money-worshiping society, and everyone is measured by money. Aunt Mei is the same about other people's ability and status, and so are you, I don't want to argue."

Sophie was stunned for a moment. Is it wrong to judge a person's ability by wealth?
"I know, you must think that Xu Huayang is more capable than me. I won't comment on whether he can help you attract investment. But if he wants to pass this matter and strangle Su's throat at a critical moment, it couldn't be easier !"

Sophie knew that what Zhao Dong said was true, but in her previous memory, Xu Huayang was not such a despicable villain.

Then he argued for him, "He's not that kind of person."

Finding that Sophie had been defending Xu Huayang all night, Zhao Dong didn't want to waste his time, "Okay, I've finished what I have to say, it's up to you whether you want to listen or not."

Seeing that Zhao Dong was leaving, Sophie hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"

"If you don't drive me away, I'll go downstairs to deal with it all night. If you find some time tomorrow, let's go through the formalities."

Zhao Dong finally said what he had been holding back all night, and his mood was not as relaxed as he imagined, but instead he became a little disappointed.

For Sophie and the relationship between the two of them, he had made countless efforts, and made countless plans and assumptions, but he did not expect to end up in a mess.

Sophie was also stunned, "do the formalities?"

She had thought about the scene countless times, but she never expected that it would come out of Zhao Dong's mouth.

Out of her usual pride, she couldn't accept this kind of frustration.

She sneered and asked, "Why, are you being cowardly? Didn't you say you would be responsible to me at the beginning?"

"My promise has not changed. It was you who said you regretted it. I just fulfilled you!"

Zhao Dong took a deep breath, every time he thought of what Sophie said tonight, he was so bored that he couldn't get rid of it.

In front of Xu Huayang, her former lover, she actually admitted that she was not as capable as the other party, and even confessed that she regretted it.

Although he made a mistake, did Sophie consider his feelings when she said these words?
He can give up everything for Sophie, and even swallow his anger in front of Aunt Mei, but he is not a punching bag for meekness.

Before Zhao Dong could reach the door, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, "Wait!"

He turned around in surprise.

Sophie hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I drank a lot at night, and I was angry again. I didn't think about what I said, and I didn't mean to look down on you."

It was the first time for her to encounter these soft words, but how should she speak them further?
Is it possible for her to apologize?
In fact, she also knew that what she said tonight was a bit hurtful, especially when she said those words in front of Xu Huayang, without taking Zhao Dong's feelings into consideration.

But that was all she could explain. If Zhao Dong didn't accept it, she couldn't help it, let alone make her apologize.

Sophie couldn't think of a clue, so she simply said, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. If you insist on going through the formalities, I won't stop you!"

When Zhao Dong's EQ went online, he immediately heard Sophie's implication. She didn't want the relationship between the two to end, but she couldn't speak up, so she left the decision on this matter to herself.

But what does she mean, is she really reluctant, or is it for some other reason?
He couldn't think of an answer.

Seeing that Zhao Dong didn't speak, Sophie urged, "Give me a quick word, what are you talking about, can I still stop you from finding another new love?"

Zhao Dong didn't know how to open his mouth, and he definitely didn't want to break up. After getting along for a while, Sophie already had a very important weight in his heart.

Otherwise, because of her few angry words tonight, she wouldn't be devastated and in chaos.

But when he said so chicly during the showdown just now, he opened his mouth to ask for peace in a blink of an eye?

Not to mention Sophie, even he himself would look down on him!
He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

An irrelevant answer, but Sophie understood the meaning. Like her, Zhao Dong didn't want this relationship to end here, but he was too embarrassed to speak up.

Sophie didn't ask any further questions, and replied with a rare tacit understanding, "It's much better."

Zhao Dong heaved a sigh of relief, and said along the way: "Don't stay up late in the future, and you can push off drinking and socializing if you can. If you can't push it off, you can't drink it with it, and you must drink it at room temperature!"

If it was usual, Sophie must have been annoyed by being nagged like this, but now she feels warmer.

She could tell that Zhao Dong acquiesced in her going out to socialize, and also acquiesced in contact with Xu Huayang, and suddenly felt a lot less pressure all over her body.

With Su's current situation, it is almost impossible for her to refuse all the entertainment, not to mention that Xu Huayang still has a fund that can determine Su's fate.

In fact, Zhao Dong is not a stingy man, and it's not that he doesn't believe in Sophie, and he can understand the entertainment in her mouth.

He was just a little hostile towards Xu Huayang, but it wasn't that kind of pure jealousy.

With Sophie's excellence, there are countless suitors around her. If they are so angry every time, the two of them will have to quarrel every day?
He just felt that Xu Huayang suddenly appeared beside Sophie at this time with impure motives, especially after what happened tonight, he felt that the other party was a hypocrite with ulterior motives.

Sophie is actually a very shrewd woman, but because of her past relationship, she didn't have too much defense against Xu Huayang, which made Zhao Dong very worried.

But now that the two have just reconciled, if they discuss the topic of Xu Huayang, it is inevitable that they will break up again, so they can only solve this problem in another way.

And even if Sophie made up her mind not to contact Xu Huayang again, Aunt Mei would probably continue to match her up.

Rather than being a villain in vain, it is better to wait for the change.

He believed that if Xu Huayang really had other purposes, sooner or later he would show his fox's tail!

Sophie nodded slightly, as if promising, "I will try to go home as soon as possible in the future."

Zhao Dong said: "If it's too late, call me and I'll pick you up. If anyone asks, just say I'm your driver."

Sophie was amused by him, "What's the matter? I didn't say anything, and you feel inferior? Afraid of embarrassing me?"

Zhao Dong said calmly: "I understand the rules of the business field. It's okay for me to be underestimated. After all, in this society, dogs everywhere look down on people, but if it affects your image, then I will become a sinner?"

Only now did Sophie realize that Zhao Dong had never felt inferior because of his status. The so-called inferiority was just imposed on him by others.

She couldn't help being a little curious, what has this man experienced to develop such an invulnerable temperament?
