Chapter 1942: Chapter 433: Husband Is Handsome as Hell, Crushing the Competition
Director Cheng retreated several steps upon hearing the words, incredulous.
How could this happen?
Hua Nuan beamed brightly, then curled her lips and said.
"Director Cheng, why don’t you tell me now, are Huo Family’s stocks going to be valuable, or worthless in the future?"
Director Cheng: "..."
Hua Nuan’s words felt like a slap in his face.
Director Cheng’s complexion alternated between green and white, looking extremely displeased.
"You..."
Hua Nuan faintly lifted the corners of her lips, her smile radiant.
"What do you mean, ’You’?"
Hua Nuan’s charming eyes became clear and bright as she looked at Director Cheng in front of her, saying coldly: "Director Cheng... you should understand the principle of parting amicably..."
The implication was simple: don’t think about taking crooked paths or conducting shady backdoor deals.
Director Cheng: "..."
Upon hearing Hua Nuan’s words, the last bit of cunning in Director Cheng’s mind was precisely targeted by the woman, leaving him awkwardly avoiding her gaze, and he said harshly.
"Alright, alright... you win, I admit it."
Director Cheng left resentfully, stumbling as he walked away.
The people who once followed Director Cheng hurriedly tagged along, looking defeated.
Others watching their departure burst into laughter.
Hua Nuan lifted the corners of her lips, her small hand tightly clasped by Huo Zun’s fingers, showing intimate affection.
"Mr. Huo... you fought an excellent battle today."
The heartfelt praise from the woman made the pride factor in the man intensify.
Huo Zun’s thin lips curved slightly, alluring and seductive.
"Well, thank you for the praise, Mrs. Huo."
The two of them exchanged glances, communicating everything without words.
Other shareholders chose to leave, not wanting to interrupt.
...
Hua Nuan and Huo Zun affectionately returned to the office, turned on the TV, and saw the live broadcast of Huo Si’s drug launch press conference.
Madam Isabella, as the current leader of the Huo Family, was also invited to attend, visibly looking displeased.
After all, Huo Si’s reckless behavior and childish defiance could be seen by the old matriarch with her extensive experience.
Hua Nuan’s lips curled in mockery, knowing that neither of them were good people.
So, they deserve it.
The press conference drew copious admiration from some clueless journalists.
Hua Nuan’s gaze fell on Huo Si on the screen, observing his proud and arrogant expression, curling her lip.
Huo Si is overly blinded by pride and self-satisfaction.
Thus, it’s destined that the man won’t achieve greatness.
Hua Nuan withdrew her gaze from the man, unable to resist turning to Huo Zun and asking: "Once Huo Si’s drug is released and used on patients, what if these people experience side effects after taking it?"
"Don’t worry, I will arrange for these people to take the medicine under my name; his medicine will be used on lab mice."
Pausing, Huo Zun’s mesmerizing blue eyes radiated with affirmative resolve.
"After all, the patients are innocent; I don’t want my conflict with Huo Si to affect them."
"Mm."
The heart of a doctor is like that of a parent.
Though Hua Nuan is not yet a doctor, spending long hours in the lab has cultivated such a disposition in her.
It’s often said that women admire heroic individuals, which is absolutely true.
Huo Zun raised his hand to embrace the woman, and then curled his lip.
"Also hoping that in the future, you, me, or our children can be treated with kindness."
Hua Nuan keenly sensed a change in Huo Zun, softly saying: "Before, I thought you were aloof, above worldly matters; but now I see you’ve grounded yourself quite well."
Huo Zun raised an eyebrow, clearly hearing the amusement and provocation in the woman’s words.
"Why does it sound as if you’re insulting me?"
"I wouldn’t dare..."
"In this vast world, only you can do so, so don’t speak of ’dare.’"
"Annoying!"
Hua Nuan listened to the man’s seductive words, smiling as she nestled in his arms.
...
Because Huo Zun preemptively controlled the public opinion among Director Cheng and others, the Huo Family internally did not yet know about the new anti-cancer drugs.
As Huo Si’s anti-cancer drugs were released and given the European Company’s prior declaration of opposition to Huo Zun, Huo Family’s stocks were greatly impacted, undergoing a substantial reduction.
Huo Si eagerly awaited the man’s reaction, feeling smug.
In Yuncheng City, Isabella and Huo Si’s temporary residence was a standalone two-story villa.
Isabella sat on the sofa gravely, watching Huo Si laze around and couldn’t help but angrily rebuke.
"So now, you’ve stirred up chaos everywhere; are you happy? Brothers turned against each other, Huo Si, you’re disgracing the Huo Family."
Huo Si heard the matriarch’s words and couldn’t help but rub his ears, mocking.
"Grandma, right from the early morning return from the company, and you start nagging. Can you cooperate a bit and let me rest well? Huo Zun doesn’t acknowledge himself as a member of the Huo Family, so why are you working hard for nothing?"
Huo Si’s words struck right at Isabella’s thoughts, causing her expression to change.
"Damn it! You’re driving me mad... Now the empire that Huo Zun has painstakingly built is about to be destroyed by you; what should be done?"
Listening to Isabella’s words, Huo Si faintly curled his lips.
"All I want is to beat Huo Zun; beyond that, I have no other intentions. Now, I’m about to achieve it, soon to trample Huo Zun underfoot; Grandma, shouldn’t you feel happy for me?"
Compared to Isabella’s anxiety and agitation, Huo Si viewed it entirely as casual entertainment, not caring at all.
Isabella: "..."
The nonchalant attitude of Huo Si provoked Isabella, causing her fury to burn, sitting on the couch to regain her composure.
"Alright... Huo Si, you’re about to achieve it; are you satisfied now? Isn’t it time to stop? I want you brothers to unite and make the Huo Family prosperous, not one-by-one with ulterior motives."
Upon hearing the matriarch’s words, the ridicule in Huo Si’s lips intensified.
Indeed, in the matriarch’s eyes, the most important thing is never the grandson but the Huo Family.
Huo Si sincerely shook his head, gazing at Isabella with unwavering determination.
"More than defeating Huo Zun, crushing him, I also want Hua Nuan."
Isabella: "..."
