Chapter 604 - Beat Him Up Until He’s Ruined For Good (1/2)
It was already very late when Huo Jinyao returned home.
Su Qingsang was still awake. She put down the book in her hand when she saw Huo Jinyao enter the room.
“You’re back? Have you eaten yet?”
“Yes.” Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He walked to the bedside and hugged Su Qingsang, who was about to get up.
Su Qingsang froze for a moment. Her lips moved, but she didn’t ask anything.
The room was very quiet. Neither of them spoke. After a few minutes, Su Qingsang raised her hand and patted Huo Jinyao on the back.
“Grandpa told me to tell you that it was his decision to let Huo Yifan return to the company.”
Huo Jinyao’s body stiffened instantly. He let go of Su Qingsang and his gaze fell on her face.
“You know?”
Su Qingsang nodded. They had returned from C City, but Huo Jinyao didn’t return to the old mansion to dine together. Old Master Huo was such a smart man. How could he not know that Huo Jinyao was angry?
“Grandfather said that nothing beats family harmony, so –”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Huo Jinyao understood what Old Master Huo meant. It was nothing more than asking him to tolerate it in the grand scheme of things.
Tolerate it?
The problem was, he didn’t want to tolerate it.
He didn’t want to tolerate Huo Yifan, and he also didn’t want to tolerate Su Peizhen. He didn’t want to see Huo Yifan swagger around in front of him so smugly.
Old Master Huo thought that Huo Yifan would go back to dine together and would tell Huo Jinyao himself.
But Huo Jinyao didn’t go home, so he had no choice but to call Su Qingsang to the study when she was about to go home and briefly tell her.
“Grandpa said that he understands your feelings and knows that you have resentment in your heart. However, Huo Yifan is your younger brother after all. The plan he proposed this time was also very good, so please understand.”
Su Qingsang’s voice was very soft. As she spoke, she held Huo Jinyao’s hand.
She could understand his feelings, but she didn’t know how to help him.
“Wife.”
Huo Jinyao suddenly held Su Qingsang’s hand and looked at her intently.
“What?”
“If one day, I wanted to leave the Huo family, would you come with me?”
Su Qingsang frowned slightly. “Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious.” Huo Jinyao looked at her seriously. “I don’t want to tolerate it anymore.”
“Then don’t tolerate it. No matter what you want to do, I’ll support you.”
Huo Jinyao smiled. This smile on his face was rare after his return to Rong City.
He picked up Su Qingsang’s hand and kissed it. When he looked up again, his gaze was very sharp.
“However, I don’t plan to leave the Huo family.”
Su Qingsang didn’t understand. The corners of Huo Jinyao’s lips curled up slightly with a hint of playfulness.
“Why should I be the one leaving? The Huo family can only be mine.”
It wasn’t that he was greedy for his current position, but if it weren’t for that accident, the Huo family would have belonged to Huo Jinkai.
He couldn’t care less about who the president of the Tianyu Group was, and he couldn’t care less about Huo Mingguang’s attitude towards him.
However, no one should replace Huo Jinkai in taking control of the Huo family and Tianyu Group.
“Jinyao, then you –”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Since Huo Yifan was feeling smug now, he would simply let him be smug for a few more days. It was just a proposal. He would have a way to make it impossible for him to carry out that proposal.
Su Qingsang didn’t respond. She reached out and hugged him again.
It didn’t matter whether he stayed in the Huo family or left the Huo family. She would go wherever he was.
As for whether he was the president of the Tianyu Group or not, when she got together with him, didn’t she think that he was just a lowly employee?
So, whether he was or not, what did it matter?
“No matter what you plan to do, I’ll support you.”
Huo Jinyao lowered his head. When he met her clear eyes, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
He held her in his arms, and where Su Qingsang couldn’t see, his deep eyes were filled with fierceness.
..
When Huo Jinyao entered the coffee shop, he immediately saw Qi Xiwei sitting by the window.
Qi Xiwei sat there with her long hair draped behind her head. She seemed to have become curvier. Her eyes filled with gentleness, she sat there flipping through the magazines on the table.
She hadn’t changed much over the years. She still appeared as innocent as ever.
When she saw someone in front of her, she raised her head. When she saw Huo Jinyao’s face, she smiled gently.
“Jinyao, you’re here?”
Huo Jinyao nodded and sat down across from her. Qi Xiwei didn’t close the magazine in her hand. Instead, she looked at Huo Jinyao sideways.
“We haven’t seen each other for so many years, but you’re still the same.”
“Really? So are you.”
Speaking of which, he and Qi Xiwei hadn’t seen each other for almost eight years.
Qi Xiwei’s lips curved into a smile. “I’m not the same. I’m old and haggard now.”
“You’re younger than me. If you say you’re old, doesn’t that make me older?”
“It’s different. Women age faster.” Qi Xiwei’s voice seemed to be filled with emotion, but it only lasted for a moment before she quickly changed the topic. “By the way, what would you like to drink?”
“A latte.”
“Your taste hasn’t changed much.”
As Qi Xiwei spoke, she called the waiter over and ordered a latte for Huo Jinyao, while she herself ordered a glass of juice for herself.
“I remember you like to drink Blue Mountain?”
“Yes, however, I don’t drink coffee now. I’ve already quit coffee.”
Qi Xiwei ordered two more snacks. Then, she put the magazine aside.
“You’ve quit coffee?” Huo Jinyao stared at her face as if he didn’t understand. “By the way, how have you been these past few years?”
“Not bad. I know you’re married. You must be living a pretty happy life, right?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good.” Qi Xiwei smiled sincerely. “I thought you’d be very busy. I didn’t expect you to have the time to look for me.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t deny it. “I’m indeed very busy, but I have something to ask you.”
As he spoke, he took out the document from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Qi Xiwei.
“This.”
Qi Xiwei looked at the document and flipped through it. She closed the document and looked at Huo Jinyao in confusion.
“Have you guys started? Isn’t this a good proposal?”
“It’s very good.” Huo Jinyao looked at Qi Xiwei and praised her generously. “If it can be implemented, it will bring huge, long-term benefits to the company.”
“It’s good that it can help you.”
Qi Xiwei smiled, and the smile on her face was very pure. Huo Jinyao looked at her and took back the proposal.
“Unfortunately, this proposal didn’t help me.”
