Chapter 97: 097, that old man is terrible!
Translator: 549690339
Su Wanwan felt uneasy under his gaze.
She had seen such eyes before in Huo Jingshen.
But at the moment, instead of the nervousness she felt when facing Huo Jingshen, she felt more disgusted.
“If you don’t let go, I’m going to hit you!”
Xing Yuyun firmly held her wrist, unmoving.
Su Wanwan gritted her teeth and violently raised her right leg.
Xing Yuyun didn’t expect her to actually lash out. Caught off guard, he was hit by a sharp pain.
After a muffled groan, his handsome face quickly turned pale and was covered in cold sweat.
Despite this, he still held her tightly.
“If you don’t let go, don’t blame me if you end up childless!” Su Wanwan started to threaten.
After all, when she was in Los Angeles, she learned self-defense techniques, Capture Technique, Taekwondo, and more…
“Wanwan, I’m really doing this for your own good. My elder brother is very cunning and his past is complicated. He lacks any sense of kindness. I’m afraid that you’ll get hurt in the future. If you divorce him, I promise, no one in Su Family will bully you ever again…”
Having been kicked in the crotch, Xing Yuyun was so in pain that he sobered up instantly. But he gritted his teeth and kept persuading.
Becuase if he doesn’t say it now, he fears he won’t get another chance.
But Su Wanwan thought he was crazy.
Just as she raised her knee, ready to give him another kick…
“So, even I, Huo Jingshen, can have my wife stolen by my own younger brother.”
The sudden cold voice startled them both.
Su Wanwan turned to see a tall and upright figure standing at the end of the corridor.
He held a cigarette in one hand, the other tucked in the pocket of his suit trousers. His handsome profile was as cold as ice, and his gaze was chilling. Under the dim corridor light, his whole body seemed cloaked in a layer of gloomy darkness.
As she met his deep, calm gaze, Su Wanwan somehow felt a wave of fear.
It felt like a wife caught cheating by her husband…
She immediately tried to break free from Xing Yuyun, who was scared into total sobriety and immediately let go. He didn’t even care about the pain, and started to stammer his explanation, “Big brother, I, I just…”
“So, you wanted to stay on the safe side, right?” Another sarcastic male voice sounded.
It’s Chu Xiuhuang.
He turned sideways and walked into the corridor. His hands were both tucked in his pockets, revealing the muscles under his partially unbuttoned dark shirt. A cigarette rested casually on his thin lips. His squinted gaze looked playful yet provocative, making him look downright roguish.
He raised an eyebrow at Su Wanwan, deliberately provoking, “Big brother, your wife here seems quite charming.”
His girlfriend had returned to the box earlier and mentioned that sister-in-law was being cornered in the restroom. As such, he and Huo Jingshen came together to check on her, only to find that the main character turned out to be that guy from Xing Family, Su Wanwan’s former fiance.
At first, he thought it was just a scare for this young master who grew up in the greenhouse. However, Huo Jingshen was just standing there, silently observing everything. It was nice to believe he trusts his wife, but on the other hand…
He was damn eavesdropping!
While they were arguing, Chu Xiuhuang listened and observed Huo Jingshen, with only one thought repeatedly crossing his mind:
This big brother is really sly!
As expected, at first Xing Yuyun was just slandering. Later, he actually asked Su Wanwan to divorce!
Tsk tsk tsk, having known him for nearly thirty years, Chu Xiuhuang was most familiar with Huo Jingshen’s character.
He seemed calm and gentlemanly, but in reality, he was extremely petty, always holding grudges, and would certainly seek revenge!
The girl he finally managed to deceive and bring home was being coveted by his own cousin. Who could put up with a full grassland on their head?
Chu Xiuhuang stretched his long legs and leaned his slender body entirely against the wall, ready to continue watching the drama.
However…
“It seems that your establishment needs to tighten its security again.” Huo Jingshen squinted at Chu Xiuhuang from the corner of his eye, “Anyone can barge in as long as they can afford the minimum spending here, and then they can act like they own the place?”
“Damn, how dare you insult people?” Chu Xiuhuang stood up straight, his handsome face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Although he is the boss here, he only takes care of investments and profits. The specific operations are handled by specialists.
“Big brother, I’m here today representing Huo Yuan to discuss a business deal.” Xing Yuyun tried to force himself to explain.
In other words, he was here for a legitimate reason.
Chu Xiuhuang glanced at him.
Hey, his pale face had been scared whiter, fluctuating between pale and green, and his voice was shaking.
Well, even if you’re just an average cat or dog, it isn’t so comfortable being teased in front of the woman you like…
Huo Jingshen took one step at a time towards him.
He was taller than Xing Yuyun. His ironed and tidy shirt made his face look exceptionally cold. When he got close, he raised his chin slightly, resulting in a looming posture…
At a glance, he looked much like an elder lecturing a younger one.
“What project?” His voice was low and deep.
Perhaps because the lights by the restroom were brighter, he seemed less gloomy and didn’t seem as intimidating.
Xing Yuyun breathed a little easier and quickly replied, “From the advertising department that I manage, we are preparing for the third-quarter advertising bidding project.”
Fingertips that outlined his bone structure put the cigarette between his thin lips, and Huo Jingshen squinted his eyes. The thick smoke he exhaled sprayed almost entirely on Xing Yuyun’s face, “You can’t even handle your own manhood, and now I question whether you can run the advertising department..”
