Even as Huo Jiakai walked out of the law firm, Huo Zhongyuan was still somewhat displeased.
"Senior brother, do you feel uncomfortable letting them take back their shares?"
Qin Suisui could tell that her senior brother was in a bad mood, if it weren't for the plan they had discussed beforehand.
In order to gradually force Lin Feng to lose his composure, she would never take on the Huo family's cases.
"I just think his life is too smooth!"
Huo Zhongyuan stretched out his long legs, his gaze towards the window somewhat distant.
"If I hadn't promised Grandpa I'd lend him a hand when the time was right, I would have loved to kick him while he was down!"
He felt sorry for his mother; how could she have fallen for such a mediocre and utterly incompetent man?
"Smooth sailing? That can't be!"
Qin Suisui pursed her lips.
"Mr. Huo, can you tolerate Su Chun's affairs? He'll definitely be asking around about Su Chun and Pang Yi when he gets back today."
"Once he finds out, everyone in Beicheng who knows him knows that Su Chun has cheated on him, I believe their lives will definitely not be as smooth as you think."
"Besides, Su Chun claims she was unaware of it, but in Mr. Huo's mind, it's as if Su Chun handed over the Huo family's wealth to that mistress."
"It's just that her lover didn't like Su Chun, lied to her, and left her."
"Mr. Huo, Su Chun, and that Huo Zhongmou, the Huo family of Beicheng is definitely going to be a big show in the future."
Qin Suisui gave him a playful sidelong glance.
"Given the character of Su Chun and Huo Zhongmou, Mr. Huo's life will definitely not be easy."
"How much homework did you do?"
Huo Zhongyuan smiled and leaned towards her, reaching out to hug her waist tightly.
"Feeling sorry for me?"
"A little!"
Qin Suisui looked up at him, her eyes filled with seriousness.
"Sui Sui!"
Huo Zhongyuan thought Sui Sui wouldn't admit it, but the unexpected surprise softened his heart.
He looked down at the swirl in her hair and leaned down to kiss it.
His fingers gently ran through her hair, which shone black and glossy in the sunlight.
The air is filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance.
"I just find it ironic that such a useless person was still being thought about by my grandfather before he passed away."
"Giving me shares in the Huo Group was just to have me protect the Huo Group. Who knew I would run into Su Chun and almost ruin the old man's plans?"
Huo Zhongyuan's lips curled into a sneer. If he hadn't remembered the kindness his grandfather had shown him, he would never have agreed to the old man's dying wish.
"What does this show? It shows that God is fair and punishes them in another way."
Qin Suisui gently comforted him, rarely seeing her senior brother so emotionally expressive.
"After this incident, they will have fewer and fewer opportunities to bother you. Just treat them like strangers from now on!"
"Sui Sui's words resonate deeply with me!"
Qin Suisui's gentle words soothed Huo Zhongyuan's depression and resentment.
"As a reward for you, I'll cook some of my signature dishes for you when we get home tonight, okay?"
This was an attempt to get her to leave early, and Qin Suisui couldn't help but laugh.
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"
Considering her senior's feelings, Qin Suisui decided not to continue working overtime. She grabbed her handbag and went back to Ocean International with her senior.
Meanwhile, Huo Jiakai angrily took the nearest flight back to Beicheng.
It was nearly midnight when we arrived in Beicheng.
He didn't notify anyone, nor did he go back directly.
After leaving the airport, he found a quiet, secluded spot and dialed the number of what he considered his best friend.
"Yan Bing, I only have one question for you: do you know what Su Chun and that bastard Pang Yi are up to outside?"
"Brother Jiakai, where should we begin with this?"
Yan Bing, on the other end of the phone, was caught off guard by Huo Jiakai's questioning.
Normally, he might have concealed it a bit, but nowadays, the Huo family is no longer the Huo family it once was.
He doesn't have as many taboos when it comes to speaking.
"I've only heard about it, after all, seeing is believing, and I can't just spout nonsense in front of you!"
"If not, then wouldn't I be the villain who caused discord between you and your spouse?"
"So you all knew?"
Huo Jiakai was breathing rapidly, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on his chest.
"Do Chen Ming and the others know about this too?"
"Well, how should I put it? Brother Huo, we've only heard about it outside; none of us have actually seen it."
Yan Bing naturally didn't want to be the only one blamed, especially since Huo Jiakai had a highly capable son. No one could say for sure whether the father and son would ever reconcile!
"However, Brother Huo, have you investigated your sister-in-law's matter?"
"I will investigate this myself!"
Huo Jiakai held his breath, believing he had treated these friends well. When the old man was still alive, Huo's company usually took turns winning bids in external tenders.
But to his surprise, none of these brothers called to check on him when he was in trouble.
That was bad enough, but then there was Su Chun's matter waiting for him.
He almost laughed out loud, ignoring the excuses on the other end of the receiver, and hung up the phone directly.
He sat slumped on the curb near the airport, utterly exhausted.
Having grown up in Beicheng, he suddenly felt utterly alone and had no one to turn to.
