Xie Yumu's face flushed instantly. She slowly turned around and saw that Huo Zhongyuan's usually cold and indifferent face was now showing a hint of doting in his eyes as he looked down at her.
"Huo..."
She wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say; the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.
Former alumni of Aurora University all said that it was because of her departure that Huo Zhongyuan never got involved in romantic relationships.
She had her doubts, but the people around her kept building her confidence, and she actually believed it.
She returned from M country full of confidence, but the scene before her eyes left her disappointed and heartbroken.
She tried her best to keep smiling, her hands clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, causing a sharp pain.
"Xiao Yuan!"
A flicker of panic crossed Su Chun's eyes. Remembering the man's instructions, she suppressed the frustration in her chest and raised her voice to interrupt their whispered conversation.
Huo Zhongyuan's smile gradually faded, and he looked over impatiently, his brows furrowed.
"What's up?"
He didn't understand what this person's purpose was in coming to Huating under his guise.
It's definitely not a good thing!
Even now, Su Chun still doesn't take Huo Zhongyuan seriously.
She remained convinced that Huo Zhongyuan was still that taciturn, poor boy who needed her to provide for him.
Despite repeated subtle warnings from those around her that the poor boy she once had the power to manipulate was no longer the same as before.
Despite her long-standing high position, she still maintained a haughty demeanor in front of Huo Zhongyuan.
"What kind of attitude is this? You and Yu Mu had a good relationship during college. How come you want to distance yourself from other women just because you have a girlfriend?"
Su Chun rolled her eyes at Qin Suisui, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Your father and Yu Mu's father knew each other before, and they've been discussing a collaboration recently. Your father asked Wen to tell you that since Yu Mu has just arrived in Huating, you should show her around and familiarize her with the environment!"
Xie Yumu lowered her head, trying her best to hide the embarrassment in her eyes.
The scene before her made her realize that she and her classmates might have misunderstood.
Occasionally, messages from Huo Zhongyuan would appear in the classmates' group chat, and everyone said that Huo Zhongyuan treated her differently.
It just so happens that her family has recently been collaborating with the Huo family, and her father had met Huo Zhongyuan and jokingly mentioned it.
To everyone's surprise, Uncle Huo readily agreed, but during the conversation, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Huo Zhongyuan's current girlfriend.
For families like theirs, it's perfectly normal to have several boyfriends or girlfriends before marriage!
She didn't care at all whether Huo Zhongyuan had a girlfriend before getting married.
With the opportunity before her, she was determined to seize it.
She will be thirty years old this Chinese New Year, and in her circle, most people her age are already married and have children.
She alone still feels uneasy and resentful.
She was completely unwilling to listen to her family's suggestion to go on blind dates and get married.
Huo Zhongyuan was her only thought during her university years.
Before Huo Zhongyuan got married, it was all her opportunity.
She didn't have that much time to back down or give up.
Since someone had extended an olive branch, she naturally accepted it gladly.
Her age has made her unable to be as arrogant as she once was; the haughty and aloof attitude only belongs to the young and proud Xie Yumu!
However, as Huo Zhongyuan snorted coldly, she felt a chill in her chest and couldn't help but glance at the person opposite her.
Huo Zhongyuan held his girlfriend's hand tightly the whole time, without showing any sign of letting go.
His expression was cold, and his tone was sarcastic.
"What does his collaboration with the Xie family have to do with me? I don't have that much time to entertain his people!"
Huo Zhongyuan glanced at Xie Yumu standing to the side, his expression indifferent.
"I'm too busy with work to entertain guests!"
After saying that, he pulled Qin Suisui and turned to leave the rest area.
After walking for a while, Qin Suisui leaned close to his ear.
"If we leave like this, your stepmother will probably get high blood pressure from all the anger!"
"Even if you get so angry you have an epileptic seizure, it has nothing to do with us, Sui Sui. Those insignificant people are not worth our time and effort!"
"Um!"
Qin Suisui nodded. She truly didn't take Su Chun seriously and had already decided to send her a lawyer's letter.
Oh right, she doesn't think she's told Senior Brother Huo about this yet.
She tugged at Huo Zhongyuan's hand.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Zhongyuan stopped and looked down at her.
"When I was buying you the bracelet in Yinan Lane just now, Su Chun tried to snatch it from you. I didn't agree, and she started verbally abusing me!"
Qin Suisui's eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, giving her a natural charm.
“I’ve asked my assistant Yue to come and collect the evidence. Ms. Su should receive my lawyer’s letter tomorrow morning.”
"Do you need my help?"
Huo Zhongyuan let out a soft laugh.
"unnecessary!"
Qin Suisui shook her head, then suddenly remembered something else.
"Could you help me find out which hotel Ms. Su will be staying at tonight? I'll then send the lawyer's letter directly to her hotel room!"
"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye out!"
Huo Zhongyuan raised her hand and kissed the back of it.
Have you had lunch yet?
"It seems not!"
Qin Suisui quickly raised her hand and glanced at the time.
It's almost two o'clock!
"I want to go back to the law firm!"
She hurried toward the elevator.
"Wait! Let's go eat first!"
Huo Zhongyuan grabbed her.
"No matter what, let's go eat first. The work is there, it won't increase!"
"With our work intensity and attitude, if we can't even eat proper meals on time, our health will eventually collapse!"
He once had a senior colleague who worked non-stop for a week, so busy that he was so hungry that he didn't have time to eat three meals a day. The project hadn't even been launched yet, but he had already taken the place!
"No, this morning the board of directors of Tonglu Group passed a resolution to increase the litigation fees of law firms. They are coming to sign the agreement tomorrow morning, so I have to hold an emergency team meeting this afternoon!"
"Delaying it by an hour shouldn't be a big problem!"
Huo Zhongyuan's stance was firm, and his expression as he looked at Qin Suisui was unquestionable.
