Chapter 860: Long Time No See

Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as Jiang Weiyang was about to pick up Murong Qiao and untie the last bit of rope, the two of them heard footsteps gradually coming from outside and gradually approaching them before stopping at the door.

Needless to say, they didn’t even look at each other. Murong Qiao and Jiang Weiyang tacitly moved in the opposite direction and distanced themselves from each other, lest the person who had just entered saw that something was wrong.

The person who came was naturally Huo Xiuyuan, who had been instructed by Sofia.

He opened the door and pushed it in. Then, he looked at Jiang Weiyang and Murong Qiao on both sides of the room. For a moment, he didn’t notice anything wrong with their positions.

After all, when he tied Jiang Weiyang up previously, he had only casually thrown her aside. In addition, he had been thinking about Sofia, so he didn’t pay too much attention to the location. Now that he thought of Sofia’s instructions, he walked over.

“How dare you appear in front of me, Huo Xiuyuan.”

Although Jiang Weiyang had used more than half of her strength to untie the rope just now, when she saw Huo Xiuran, who deserved a beating, appear in front of her, the anger in her chest surged. She didn’t know where it came from, but she immediately straightened up and scolded him.

“Do you know what the consequences will be for attacking me?”

Jiang Weiyang looked at the other party and gradually frowned. “If my brother finds out what you did today, he’ll definitely send you to prison.”

“I had no choice.” Huo Xiuyuan’s tone was terrifyingly cold.

That light tone fell into Jiang Weiyang’s ears. It sounded a little casual, but also like numbness after being forced to compromise.

Murong Qiao, who was sitting at the side, was deep in thought as she watched Huo Xiuyuan’s performance. Then, she saw the other party carry the rope that tied Jiang Weiyang up and walk out.

Jiang Weiyang didn’t know what Huo Xiuyuan was up to. Seeing that he was approaching her and wanted to pull her out, she immediately moved her body uncooperatively. However, before she could protest for long, she was slapped hard on the face. The force of the slap wasn’t light. Not long after, Murong Qiao could see the traces of redness on her face through the door.

Huo Xiuyuan pulled Jiang Weiyang in front of him expressionlessly and forced her to look up at him.

“You’d better behave yourself, Jiang Weiyang.”

Huo Xiuyuan said the most terrifying warning in his calmest tone. “Otherwise, you’ll die here today.”

Although Sofia didn’t tell Huo Xiuyuan her identity, Huo Xiuyuan could guess from her bearing and attitude.

Jiang Weiyang didn’t expect Huo Xiuyuan to suddenly slap her, so she immediately stood there in a daze. Then, coupled with Huo Xiuyuan’s cold tone, her shoulders suddenly trembled in fear.

“Continue like this. It’s good for you and me.” Huo Xiuyuan was clearly very satisfied with Jiang Weiyang’s attitude. After giving her some benefits, he didn’t say anything else and pulled her out.

He didn’t dare to delay Sofia’s time. If the other party was angry at him and he couldn’t leave, that would be a real problem.

Fortunately, be it Jiang Weiyang or Murong Qiao, the two of them were not too heavy. Huo Xiuyuan brought the two of them towards the bow of the ship one after another. In order to prevent them from causing trouble, he specially moved them a distance from each other.

Meanwhile, Sofia, who was waiting at the bow of the ship, had already welcomed the first guest on the cruise.

“Long time no see.” Sofia looked at Huo Yichen, who was gradually approaching the cruise ship. She knew that he could see her clearly, so she waved and greeted him happily.

After all, this should be the first time she had met Huo Yichen since she arrived in the country.

Moreover, in order to let the other party see her most beautiful self, Sofia had carefully tidied up this time. After confirming that there was no problem with her makeup, clothes, and other accessories, she stepped onto the cruise ship with anticipation.

However, when she thought of what might happen next, the anticipation in Sofia’s heart intensified.

Huo Yichen had yet to completely approach the cruise ship, but the distance was enough for him to see that the person standing on it was Sofia, not the Jiang Weiyang he had imagined.

What happened?

Seeing that the person didn’t match his information, Huo Yichen frowned. He felt that the plan seemed to be a little out of control.

Especially since he didn’t expect Sofia to appear here. This was the last thing Huo Yichen expected.

The surprise on his face seemed to please Sofia, so much so that she let out a light laugh. Then, she waved for Huo Yichen to pull the boat to the side of the cruise ship, and there was a convenient ladder beside it.

At this moment, Huo Xiuyuan had already brought the girls to the deck.

Jiang Weiyang was originally fooling around with Huo Xiuyuan and scolding him for being tactless and actually daring to attack her. Then, when she turned around and was put down, she realized that it was her best friend, Sofia, standing on the deck. She was instantly dumbfounded and couldn’t say a word.

“Sofia?” Jiang Weiyang said in disbelief. However, even after seeing that the person in front of her was really Sofia, she still couldn’t believe it. “Why are you here?”

“Is this what you meant when you said that there were only three people on the ship?” Murong Qiao was also brought over by Huo Xiuyuan. When she saw Sofia, she even had the mood to tease the surprised Jiang Weiyang beside her. She felt a little amused.

At first, she was still wondering who could make Huo Xiuyuan so confident to attack Jiang Weiyang. However, the questions she had hidden in her heart were finally answered when she saw Sofia standing in front of her happily.

“I-I don’t know.” Jiang Weiyang stuttered as she spoke, and her expression changed from the arrogance just now to pale and blank.

She really didn’t know why Sofia was here, just like how she didn’t expect Huo Xiuyuan to attack her while she was talking to Murong Qiao.

However, the situation in front of her had clearly exceeded Jiang Weiyang’s control and was developing in an unknown direction.

Sofia watched as Huo Yichen’s boat gradually approached the ship. Taking advantage of the few minutes before the other party came up, she turned around in a very good mood and raised her hand to greet Murong Qiao.

“Long time no see.”

However, her words were not as enthusiastic as before.

After all, Murong Qiao was her love rival. She didn’t think she should have a good attitude towards her.

As for the injured Jiang Weiyang beside her, she was even less within Sofia’s consideration. The other party was just a chess piece that was thrown away after being used. It was just a convenient move.

Huo Xiuyuan brought the two of them over and stood in front of Sofia. “I’ve done what I promised you. Can I leave now?”

He asked the other party, not curious about what would happen next.

“Sure.” Sofia nodded in a good mood.

In any case, the other party didn’t need to participate in the subsequent plan.

“It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you don’t disturb me. After all, you know that taking the initiative to seek death isn’t a good thing, right?”
