Chapter 438: Do You Think He Cares?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Anyway, he has confessed. There won’t be any big commotion.”
“It seems that you know your place and know how this matter will affect the
Huo Corporation, so you might as well wait for Huo Weichen to plead guilty. Then continue to hide it. If this matter is exposed, then your days in the Huo
Family will come to an end.”
Yun Shujing said it lightly, and Huo Qingxiao also replied lightly. However, this did not affect the strength of Huo Qingxiao’s words at all. They had been husband and wife for so many years. Even though Yun Shujing knew that her husband’s heart wasn’t with her, Huo Qingxiao had always turned a blind eye to what she had done. No matter how big of a mistake he had made, no matter how much evil he had done, he had never considered divorce. But now, he had said the first word.
She knew very well that Huo Qingxiao’s patience had reached its limit. “It’s not certain whose days will end. My child, at least there’s still hope, unlike you…”
At this moment, Master Xiao said, “Is that so? I thought you didn’t have any.”
“You…”
Master Xiao knew how to poke at people’s hearts. He also knew that although Yun Shujing was tough on the surface, she was very afraid in her heart. After all, before the matter was exposed, who knew that Huo Zizhen and Huo Weichen would do so many unimaginable things? Therefore, she really couldn’t be sure if Huo Shengyuan was hiding something she didn’t dare to imagine.
She wondered if Yun Shujing had ever regretted provoking Huo Jiuxiao. Of course, she still blamed the incident on bad luck and refused to believe that it was Huo Jiuxiao’s doing. She looked down on a deaf person in her heart, so she did not feel that it was a fatal threat.
Trash always realized that they were trash at the last moment.
Huo Shengyuan brought Mu Qingya to Lutai in advance. When they reached the Xu family’s courtyard, he called Mother Xu. After all, he couldn’t reveal his true intentions, so he could only pretend to visit Xu Huiwen and the baby. However, Mrs. Xu didn’t know that Huo Shengyuan was very close to that scumbag from the Su family.
Mother Xu had always treated Huo Shengyuan normally, and she only cared about Mu Qingya as an elder. Mother Xu felt that these two people were just like the other juniors. They had always followed the rules. When they saw the Xu family, they were more or less soft-hearted.
In addition, there was now a comparison between Huo Jiuxiao and Lin Wanli, so Mother Xu was not in the mood to greet those two. Therefore, Mrs. Xu felt that Huo Shengyuan’s call was a little offensive and disturbing. He had agreed to come tomorrow, but he came over in a hurry today. Wasn’t it obvious that he didn’t want others to steal the limelight?
“Auntie, is it inconvenient?” Mu Qingya asked Mother Xu cautiously because she felt that Mother Xu wasn’t as enthusiastic as before and didn’t respond for a long time.
“It’s not inconvenient. Qingya, you and Shengyuan came from afar, you can go to the courtyard to rest first. I’m on vacation with Huiwen and the baby. I might not be back for a while.”
“Auntie, you’ve misunderstood. We just wanted to come over to see Huiwen and Anan in advance. If it’s not convenient for you, we can come back tomorrow.” Otherwise, it would seem like we had ulterior motives.
With Lin Wanli around, Mother Xu felt tired of talking to Mu Qingya with a mask on. She kept calling herself innocent, but in fact, she was scheming.
“As you wish.” Mother Xu hung up the phone.
Mu Qingya looked at her husband in confusion. The treatment she received at Mother Xu’s place was different from before. Furthermore, the people close to the Xu family knew about Xu Huiwen’s situation. How could they take her out for a holiday? There must be something fishy going on.
Now that Mu Qingya’s words had already been spread, she couldn’t enter the Xu family’s residence. Hence, she found a hotel in Lutai and stayed there temporarily. This trip was awkward. Huo Shengyuan had never expected that his wife, who had always been thoughtful, would not call Mrs. Xu to confirm if she was home.
“Shengyuan, why don’t you give Su Yuanchao a call? This person is still sick.
How can he go out to play?”
Huo Shengyuan also felt that there was something fishy going on. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was Mother Xu’s excuse. So, after he put away his luggage, he called Su Yuanchao. “Your mother-in-law took your wife and daughter out for a vacation. Do you know that?”
“How would I know?” The man on the other end of the phone replied indifferently, “I haven’t seen her for two months. Besides, she’s already crazy. Why didn’t she lock her up at home? Why did she let her out?” “Aren’t you afraid that the Xu family will settle scores with you later?”
“President Huo, how much do you know about the Xu family? As my father-in-law, even if he swallows all his grievances, he won’t find fault with anyone. Otherwise, do you think I would dare to drive Xu Huiwen crazy? Serves him right. Being in a high position, he should be working for the well-being of his descendants. Since he was stubborn, he could only blame his daughter. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
After that, Su Yuanchao hung up the phone. Huo Shengyuan could feel that he was gambling.
Huo Shengyuan put down his phone and sneered. He suddenly felt that there was no need to continue interacting with Su Yuanchao.
“What did Su Yuanchao say?”
“What else can I say? He’s the one who drove everyone crazy. Do you think he cares?”
Mu Qingya took a deep breath and felt that Su Yuanchao was indeed ridiculous. What was even more ridiculous was that the Xu family could tolerate the Su family’s harm to Xu Huiwen. If it wasn’t for the Xu family, Huo Shengyuan wouldn’t even look at someone like Su Yuanchao, let alone have any business cooperation with him.
“What do we do now?”
There was nothing he could do. He had wanted to come early to show his obedience, but he had exposed his ambition instead. It was fine if he didn’t mind, but he was afraid that it would affect his impression of Huo Shengyuan.
“I don’t think there’s a need to worry so much. No matter what, we’ve been in contact with the Xu family for a long time, and those two are strangers to the Xu family.”
“I can only think of it this way.”
The two of them had a bad start and wasted Huo Shengyuan’s time, which caused Huo Shengyuan to be deeply anxious. He liked the feeling of strategizing. Any passive situation could make him lose control. Hence, he didn’t look too good, which made Mu Qingya worried.
“Shengyuan, are you unhappy?
“When we left, I thought you had confirmed it with Auntie.” Huo Shengyuan restrained himself.
“Auntie has always lived in seclusion and rarely goes out. I thought it would be the same this time…”
“Remember to call in advance next time.” Huo Shengyuan left the bathroom.
At this moment, Mu Qingya felt wronged. She was the daughter of the Mu family and had married the illegitimate son of the Huo Family without asking for anything. She had only forgotten to make a phone call, and she was already being questioned..
