"Sister, my classmate is having a birthday party... I... they all say I'm an illegitimate child, a little beast... I want you to come with me and support me."
Huo Qiuya looked into his eyes and saw no trace of calculation. "Time, place."
Hu Lian said softly, "I can't drink at my classmate's house the night after tomorrow... I hope my sister won't mind?"
Huo Qiuya shook her head. "Alright, send me the location later."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Hu Lian, who had been standing there cowering, stopped and his eyes instantly turned cold.
It's been a long time since Luo Bai was asked to repay the loan. He finally sold his house in Ronghe Central for nearly 200 million yuan. With a little more of his own money, he had enough for another 200 million yuan.
He called Qin Feilin to go to the bank to get the money. His leg was broken and wouldn't recover anytime soon, so Xu Qing had to take him.
When Qin Feilin arrived, he saw a fierce-looking man next to Luo Bai and frowned, guessing that the man might be a bodyguard. However, he didn't care and went with Luo Bai to the window to transfer money.
As he left, Qin Feilin glanced at the middle-aged man with the scar one last time, and a sudden, intense feeling of nausea forced him to take his assistant and keep their distance.
With such a ruthless person around, it wasn't easy to make a move. On his way back, Qin Feilin was already estimating when Luo Bai would recover. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to wait to make his move.
Assistant: "Mr. Qin, these are the latest bidding documents. Please take a look. The next schedule is..."
Qin Feilin interrupted, "Make an appointment to go to the Huo Corporation tomorrow."
Assistant: "President Qin... I'm afraid we can't get an appointment. Chairman Huo doesn't handle business collaborations..."
"Never mind, go make the date."
assistant. "..."
next day
It wasn't that Huo Cixiao Huo Cixiao was being reasonable; rather, he wanted to see just how brain-dead the Qin Family really were, that they dared to bully his wife.
So now, looking at the well-dressed and tall Qin Feilin, Huo Cixiao scrutinized him for a full minute.
Qin Feilin felt a chill run down his spine under Huo Cixiao's gaze, his hands and feet turning icy cold.
At this moment Huo Cixiao spoke up, "Why is everyone in your family's hair black, while my wife's hair is white? You're not lying to my wife, are you? Are you actually not her biological family... Oh right, your whole family is sick, but my wife isn't, so maybe you really aren't her biological children..."
Huo Cixiao's thoughtful expression infuriated Qin Feilin.
"What exactly did you do to my little brother? How did you make him so obedient!" Qin Feilin stood opposite the luxurious chairman's desk, his eyes red as if he had conjunctivitis, both angry and annoyed.
Huo Cixiao was not angry when he heard the words "obey my every word," but rather felt pleased.
He raised an eyebrow, twirling a pen in his hand, his tone tinged with smugness and boastfulness. "I didn't do anything. My wife just fell for my looks, likes me, takes care of me, and is even willing to spend over a hundred billion on me. She's bought me tons of jewels... Ah, do you guys have that? Right, how could you possibly have that? Even if you did, it'd probably just be free ginger soup, or picking up a dropped blanket. You think my wife is really taking care of you?"
Qin Feilin was speechless, choked with embarrassment. How did Huo Cixiao know?! And this guy's words were so infuriating!
Looking at that infuriating face, it's no wonder the younger brother fell for it. He retorted, "So what? I'm his brother. No matter what you say, he shares the same blood as me."
Huo Cixiao looked at him as if he were an idiot. "You seem quite proud of that? But so what? My wife is mine alone. What is the Qin Family? In my eyes, they're nothing more than an ant that can be crushed with a flick of the finger."
Qin Feilin: "Someone like you only knows how to use such despicable methods. Huo Cixiao, you are guilty of grave sins, don't drag my little brother into it."
Huo Cixiao: "I don't understand why you Qin Family members are so presumptuous. What gives you the confidence to dare to talk back to me?"
Qin Feilin: "This world doesn't belong to you alone. If you dare to do anything illegal or criminal and bring down the Qin Family, I'll drag you down with me, even if it means my own death!"
He has recently sensed the growing distance between his business partners and the Qin Family. Therefore, he came today not only for Luo Beishi but also for the Qin Group.
"Wife, class is over?" Huo Cixiao's icy face melted instantly, replaced by a gentle and doting smile.
Qin Feilin turned around and looked at Luo Beishi, who was wearing a casual baseball uniform, black open-leg pants, and a pair of blue and white AJ shoes.
But he only had eyes for Huo Cixiao, completely ignoring Qin Feilin around him.
"Husband! Hug me!" Luo Beishi rushed in like a gust of wind, leaping up to hug Huo Cixiao's neck and wrapping her legs around his waist.
A loud "mua~" kiss echoed through the office.
Huo Cixiao, oblivious to everyone else, kissed Luo Beishi on the tip of his nose, his lips, and his ear.
Qin Feilin, who was caught off guard and suddenly ate ten tons of dog food. "..."
He had always assumed that Huo Cixiao might be controlling Luo Beishi, but he never expected that the two of them were actually...
This made him feel like he'd been a fool for saying such hurtful things to Huo Cixiao. He hadn't expected the two to be so happy. Qin Feilin withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly.
Luo Beishi then noticed someone standing next to her. "What are you doing here? What are you doing here? Did you come to bully my husband?!"
Luo Beishi didn't get off Huo Cixiao, but instead looked at Qin Feilin with a questioning tone.
Qin Feilin: "..." Who dares to bully him? Who is he to have his entire family insulted before he even opens his mouth?
Of course, Qin Feilin couldn't bring himself to talk about the provocation and contempt Huo Cixiao had shown him.
"Little brother, long time no see..." Qin Feilin looked at Luo Beishi's energetic and radiant face and said in a low voice.
"We've broken off relations, so don't yell at me. What are you doing here? What do you want with my husband? Oh! You're not here to steal my husband, are you!"
Luo Beishi's imagination ran wild. Anyone who appeared in her husband's office, even Special Assistant Wen, was on her list of suspicious individuals. Anyone hanging around her husband was probably up to no good!
Qin Feilin: "..."
Huo Cixiao: "..."
Luo Beishi snorted coldly, kissed Huo Cixiao on the cheek with a strong sense of possessiveness, and then turned to Qin Feilin to show off.
Qin Feilin said helplessly, "Little brother, you've misunderstood."
"Then what are you doing here? You can't possibly be here to discuss business, can you? I know the Huo Corporation and the Qin Group have absolutely no connection. So, tell me, what are you here for?"
Qin Feilin was even angrier when he saw Huo Cixiao's smug smile.
"I'm here to ask Huo Cixiao why he targeted the Qin Group."
Luo Beishi remained clung to Huo Cixiao, looking at Qin Feilin with disdain, "Don't blame everything on my husband, hmph!"
