Chapter 312: 314 Bottom Line (2)_1
What kind of celestial being must the wife of the second young master of the Huo Family be to make him so indifferent to other women!
Especially a woman as beautiful as she is!
Out of concern for her dignity, she continued chatting with Gu Jizhou while holding a glass of red wine, inquiring more about Huo Jinnan, especially about his wife.
Gradually losing patience, Gu Jizhou thought of Che Huan, his expression grew increasingly dark, and, annoyed, he glanced at Fang Tong before turning away and leaving.
Who would’ve thought mother would find such a woman to try and deal with uncle—it’s a pipe dream!
Perhaps others didn’t know, but he was well aware that Huo Jinnan, his uncle, had not the slightest romantic interest in Miss Qin.
...
By nightfall, the birthday banquet finally came to an end, and most of the guests had left.
Uncle Guan sent off the last wave of guests to the hotel they were staying at.
In the vast living room, only the family of the Huo Household remained.
Uncle Guan returned and whispered a few words into the old master’s ear.
Recalling the hints someone had given him during the meal, which he hadn’t understood at the time, the old master suddenly realized what they meant.
Anan mentioned having a wife, and thinking of Che Huan, his brows furrowed deeply. Sitting on the sofa, clutching his teacup, his grip growing tighter and tighter, he cast a sidelong glance in Huo Jinnan’s direction.
Anan had his own business, which he managed so well, and though he should have been happy, he just couldn’t muster up any joy!
Huo Qichang looked towards the old patriarch and saw that his father was not as happy as in previous years, "Dad, what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"
The old patriarch sat there, silent, took a sip of tea, and placed the teacup on the coffee table.
Huo Jinxue glanced in the direction of the old patriarch, then towards Huo Jinnan, guessing that the grandfather was unhappy because his second brother’s company was doing much better than that of Gu Jizhou.
Really, could favoritism go too far?
With that thought, a wave of unprecedented admiration swept over her—her second brother was too cool! Brilliantly done!
And as for the faces of Huo Jinyun and her son, it was a delight to see—their frustration was palpable!
Opening a company, when the entire Huo Family was supporting Gu Jizhou, and that’s all it amounted to, was laughable. Meanwhile, without any fanfare, her second brother created a hundred-billion listed company—absolutely dashing!
"Second brother, can I be a manager in your company once I graduate?"
Huo Jinxue looked expectantly at Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan didn’t respond, but the little guy beside him glanced at Huo Jinxue and pursed his lips, "Little Aunt, I think being a little assistant suits you better."
Huo Jinxue glared dissatisfiedly at the little guy, "How do I seem fit only to be a little assistant?"
The little guy gave Huo Jinxue a haughty look, "Little Aunt, there’s nothing wrong with telling the truth."
Huo Jinbei laughed from the side, "Axue, I think Xiaowei has a very clear view."
Huo Jinxue brushed off Huo Jinbei, "Third brother, where’s your sense of decency?"
Huo Jinbei appeared contemplative, "My sense of decency..."
Remembering the jokes among men, he didn’t continue but looked at the little guy, "Xiaowei, what about your bottom line?"
The little guy sat there, seemingly deep in thought, but inwardly he was wondering, what on earth is a bottom line?
Not wanting to expose his ignorance, he refrained from asking and instead looked in Huo Jinnan’s direction, "Daddy, what is your bottom line?"
Hearing the little guy’s question, both Huo Jinxue and Huo Jinbei turned to look at Huo Jinnan, curious about what kind of bottom line their second brother would have.
