Unexpectedly witnessing this scene, Tang Li walked over and pointed to the doorway, asking:
"Should I excuse myself for a moment?"
You still need to maintain a good image in front of your wife.
Huo Chenyu had just punched Song Nanzhou, and now he quickly put his arm around Song Nanzhou's shoulder, grinning as he said to Tang Li:
“We are celebrating.”
celebrate?
Tang Li chuckled dryly:
What are we celebrating?
Huo Chenyu patted Song Nanzhou's chest and said, "Let's celebrate his complete liberation."
"Celebrate like this?" Tang Li pointed at Song Nanzhou's face.
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Because Song Nanzhou had good skin, fair and rosy, and hadn't been outdoors much in recent years, Huo Chenyu's punch, though restrained, still looked shocking.
Huo Chenyu glanced at Song Nanzhou, touched his face, and asked:
"Hey bro, does your face hurt?"
Song Nanzhou tilted his left cheek up to show him as well:
"Or you can punch me again, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be satisfied."
Huo Chenyu whispered in his ear:
"You mean you want to continue?"
Song Nanzhou replied to him:
Love is inherently an uncontrollable thing.
"Song Nanzhou".
Huo Chenyu growled.
"Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"
Tang Li, who was standing to the side, watched their little actions, politely avoiding eye contact, but her ears couldn't help but perk up.
Song Nanzhou whispered:
"You have more to say on this. You've been divorced and broken up with her, but you still shamelessly call her 'wife.' If people could control their feelings, there wouldn't be so many lovesick men and women in this world."
What he said makes a lot of sense.
But Huo Chenyu said in an extremely domineering manner:
"Anyone can like her, but you can't."
Song Nanzhou quickly replied:
"Then I won't like her anymore, I'll go and love her instead."
Huo Chenyu was so angry he was about to swear, and when he raised his hand to hit him, Tang Li stepped forward and stopped him:
"If you two brothers want to fight, can you find another place? There are too many people around here. People who don't know better will think you two are fighting over a woman."
What a lucky accident!
Song Nanzhou was about to speak when Huo Chenyu covered his mouth:
“Lili is right, we brothers can’t let outsiders laugh at us.”
Tang Li automatically misunderstood his words and gave an awkward laugh:
"Then I, as an outsider, will not disturb you two brothers' flirting and lovey-dovey talk. Goodbye."
Tang Li turned around, about to leave, when Huo Chenyu stopped her:
"You've attended the party, and you've had your fill of roasting people. Now, shouldn't you come back with me?"
"Go back where?" Tang Li looked up at him.
“When you still had a home, you would just lock me in that room, as if I were someone you couldn’t show your face to. Now that you don’t even have a home, Mr. Huo, you don’t mean you want me to wander the world with you, do you? Sorry, I’m past the age of being driven by love.”
It was clearly a complaint.
Huo Chenyu, however, insisted on interpreting it as:
"What? I'm no longer the president of the Huo Group. Are you afraid I can't afford the exorbitant fees?"
Since he wanted to say that, Tang Li did as he pleased:
“I’ve always been a materialistic and realistic woman. If it weren’t for your status and wealth satisfying my vanity, I would never have married you six years ago.”
The atmosphere was a bit off.
These two sound like they're about to have a fight.
Song Nanzhou coughed lightly twice, mainly to imply to Huo Chenyu to take it easy, as there were plenty of people waiting to pursue Tang Li.
Huo Chenyu stepped forward to shake Tang Li's hand, immediately admitting defeat:
"Lili, that's not what I meant."
After Tang Li looked away, he looked directly into Huo Chenyu's eyes and said:
“Mr. Huo, but this is what I mean. Marrying you was already a mistake on my part. I finally have the chance to be reborn a third time. Do you think I would repeat the same mistake?”
The harsh words were a bit too much.
Song Nanzhou cleared his throat, but before he could utter a sound, Tang Li retorted:
“It’s a matter that even an honest official would find difficult to decide, so Mr. Song need not get involved.”
Song Nanzhou wisely stepped aside. He had originally wanted to pat Huo Chenyu on the back and tell him to pray for his own good fortune, but his hand missed and he had to give up.
Tang Li continued to criticize Huo Chenyu:
"Mr. Huo used to have many accolades, and he always thought it was all just self-praise. Now that Mr. Huo has nothing left, most of those who wanted to pounce on him at any moment have probably already run away. If Mr. Huo doesn't believe it, he can try it."
Every word and sentence is heartbreaking.
Huo Chenyu was rendered speechless by her retort. After thinking for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a nonsensical sentence:
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse'?"
His complete withdrawal from the Huo Group was not a rash decision; he had made thorough preparations for their future.
Moreover, the Huo family did not make things difficult for him.
Even though he publicly severed ties with the Huo family, Huo Yishen still declared that the position of president of the Huo Group would be reserved for Huo Chenyu indefinitely.
"Can it be bigger than Lu Zhixing, the president of Shengrong Group? Can it compare to Song Beiye, who owns 70% of Dongsong's shares?"
This comparison is even more hurtful.
Tang Li chuckled:
"Excuse my bluntness, but Mr. Huo's net worth is probably even greater than mine now, isn't it? A man I've grown tired of, without any financial backing, what makes you think I'd still share your joys and sorrows?"
They're going too far.
Song Nanzhou must stand up:
