Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
‘l’ne managers actions were actually wen Lan’s way ot testing Xiao Hua»ang’s attitude. She had been Xiao Huaixing’s lover for eight years and had been together with him since they were still students. However, she could never be his Mrs. Xiao.
She knew that the Xiao family had such a rule, but she still wanted to know if Xiao Huaixing was willing to stand against the entire world for her.
Wen Lan’s manager’s Weibo post was undoubtedly a heavy bomb because it was a signal to the outside world that good things were about to happen to Wen Lan and Xiao Huaixing.
When Xiao Huaixing saw the news, he initially wanted the media to do public relations immediately. However, when he thought of Wen Lan’s recent mental state, he hesitated. Huo Yu’an did not read the entertainment news. All her energy was focused on her work. In addition, Mother Xiao had already informed Huo Yu’an, so Huo Yu’an was easy to deal with. However, there was a time bomb here, and that was Lin Wanli. However, Lin Wanli might not know that he and Huo Yutan were husband and wife.
Therefore, he allowed the scandal to spread and tacitly agreed to his relationship with Wen Lan.
This made Wen Lan almost cry tears of joy. In the past, the two of them had always been secretly showing off their love and had to worry about the media’s interpretation. After living in seclusion for so many years, they had finally received so much support today. Now that Xiao Huaixing had revealed his hand, did this count as them officially announcing it?
However, she did not know that this was the best that Xiao Huaixing could do for her.
With Xiao Huaixing’s sacrifice, it was indeed effective in diverting Wen Lan’s attention. After all, if Wen Lan were to marry into a wealthy family, she would not care about her reputation.
Wen Lan was very excited. She thought that she had already seen the opening to the Xiao family, so she felt that she should strike while the iron was hot.
She could use Xiao Huaixing’s personal phone at will, so she had always known Huo Yu’an’s phone number. There were countless times when she wanted to call Huo Yutan directly and scold her. Why did this woman have the right to snatch her man?
However, the more jealous she was, the better Xiao Huaixing treated her. It was also this reason that made her refrain from harassing Huo Yu’an.
“Dalei, what do you think if I expose me and Brother Xing to Huo Yutan? Do you think I can take the risk? Think about it, my career is damaged now. If I can’t successfully marry into the Xiao family, then everything will be ruined. In the past, I thought that status didn’t matter when I was young, but now that I’m older, I understand the importance of status.”
The manager sized Wen Lan up and felt that she was extremely daring. This was because this was Pandora’s box. Perhaps she would release the devil.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Wen Lan said was not without reason.
Now that her reputation had been damaged, she was afraid that her resources would be downgraded if she took on any dramas or endorsements in the future. Why not take advantage of Xiao Huaixing’s ambiguous attitude now and consolidate her status in one go?
“What do you want to do? What if his wife spreads the news?”
“Are you stupid? I’ve been with Xiao Huaixing for eight years. She’s the third party. Even if this matter doesn’t work out in the end, we can still gain some sympathy and maybe even recover our reputation.”
Wen Lan’s words were like a sharp blow to the head, causing the manager’s eyes to instantly light up.
“I’ll type the message now.”
Huo Yutan really did not expect Wen Lan to be more stupid than she had imagined. Wasn’t she impatiently sending her evidence and a head?
“Hello, Miss Huo. I’m Wen Lan. Actually, Huai Xing and I have been together for eight years. We are very much in love. The reason why I’m sending you this message now is because Huai Xing and I can’t endure it anymore. We want to
be together openly, so please grant our wish. After all, Huai Xing saved your life.”
Huo Yu’an took a screenshot of the message and sent it to Xiao Huaixing with a question mark attached.
After Xiao Huaixing finished reading it, his expression darkened to the extreme.
It was not only because of Wen Lan’s stupidity, but also because no man would like a woman who made her own decisions. This was different from love.
Then, Xiao Huaixing immediately dialed Huo Yu’an’s number and told her,
“We’ll talk when we get home tonight. I can explain.”
Huo Yu’an didn’t say anything and hung up the phone. From Xiao Huaixing’s attitude, she knew that eight years of love was nothing much.
Therefore, she didn’t have to waste any more time.
When Huo Jiuxiao returned to the Huo family home, Huo Qingxiao was waiting in the living room. Because of his health, Huo Qingxiao had asked Huo
Shengyuan to deal with the Huo family’s affairs temporarily. Therefore, Huo Shengyuan was either flying or on the way.
“Where did you go?” Huo Qingxiao met Huo Jiuxiao’s gaze and asked.
Actually, he didn’t sound like he was interrogating him, but because Huo
Jiuxiao couldn’t hear him, he felt that those few words weren’t very pleasant.
“Went Jinchuan to meet an old friend.”
“I’ve already prepared to officially announce the news of you returning to the Huo Family and your marriage with Lin Wanli. Jinchuan, don’t go too often in the future. You have to settle things that need to be settled in time. Otherwise, you’ll only be harming yourself and others.” Huo Qingxiao put down the financial report in his hand and told Huo Jiuxiao seriously, “I hope you listen to every word I say. Otherwise, you will only receive the corpse of the person you love the most.”
“Hmph!” Huo Jiuxiao sneered and asked Huo Qingxiao, “Can your Huo
Corporation really tolerate a deaf person being the heir?”
“Then do you want to die?”
Huo Jiuxiao didn’t answer and went upstairs.
Huo Qingxiao took a deep breath and looked away. As a member of the Huo
Family, he had no choice. Even if he wanted to set Huo Jiuxiao free, even if Huo Jiuxiao had always expressed that he wanted to cut ties with the Huo family, after so many years, did the Huo family really let Huo Jiuxiao go for even one day?
Huo Shengyuan had indeed done his best all these years, but so what?
It couldn’t guarantee that he would let his brother go after Huo Shengyuan became the successor.
Therefore, if he had to choose between Huo Jiuxiao and Huo Shengyuan, he would choose Huo Jiuxiao without hesitation.
This was because the people who ran the Huo Corporation not only needed ability, but also revere and respect for life.
Other than Huo Jiuxiao, no one else could do this. Even though Huo Jiuxiao looked like he was stained with human blood, he knew very well that his son’s hands were clean.
Yun Shujing was hiding behind a stone pillar with a cup of tea in her hand. She overheard the conversation between the father and son.
She understood that even though she had helped Huo Qingxiao manage the Huo family for so many years, she and her child were still Huo Jiuxiao’s stepping stones.
Therefore, she had never thought of showing mercy to Huo Jiuxiao. This was not only because of benefits, but also because of hatred.
But Huo Qingxiao had underestimated them. After all these years, they hadn’t been running their business for nothing. Moreover, Huo Jiuxiao was deaf? Just based on this, Huo Jiuxiao would never be able to step onto the management stage of the Huo Corporation..
