Chapter 39: Pretending to be a chaste woman
The next day.
A piece of gossip became a hot topic. The eldest son of the Huo family got drunk and made a scene in a hotel by performing a striptease, and was taken away by the police.
In the video, Huo Beiting was unruly, naked and drunk.
Finally, passers-by called the police and he was arrested.
After a night, Huo Jianjun personally rescued him, still stinking.
Bang!
Two slaps landed on his face.
"Are you sober?" Huo Jianjun cleaned up the mess made overnight, reassured the Huo employees, and hyped up the fact that Tianyuan was powerful and would bring a better future to the Huo company.
The stock price only stabilized at the opening this morning, and that 20% stake seems to be the only price.
I didn't expect my son to drink and cause trouble.
"Dad, Jin Kai is playing a trick on me! He said that after I drink all that wine, he will help me." Huo Beiting burst into tears, his clothes were wrinkled, and he smelled of rotten pickled mustard greens.
"He stripped me naked and left me in the hotel lobby!"
Huo Beiting was so concerned about his reputation that this was more painful than killing him.
Bang!
Huo Jianjun slapped him again: "Come on! History is written by the victors! Those bad reputations are nothing compared to status and power!"
Huo Beiting sobbed and sobbed, "What should I do?"
"Wait." Huo Jianjun's eyes were gloomy.
"When the old man turns 70, give us his 30% stake. For now, just be quiet!"
Huo Beiting nodded quickly, no longer arrogant and domineering.
"Also... you have to ask the Su family to contribute funds to fill our shortfall, on the condition that you marry Su Weiwei." Huo Jianjun sneered, "It would be best if you could get her pregnant. Your grandfather likes children."
These are all chips.
He had no recollection of how he had belittled Su Weiwei in the hospital before.
"Okay, I will definitely make her pregnant as a birthday gift for grandpa." Huo Beiting cheered up, but he had evil thoughts in his mind.
Father and son are birds of a feather.
"Let Zhuo Feng stop for a while. Your grandfather is starting to get suspicious."
"But Huo Xingzhou..."
"He's useless as hell! Once I get the shares and control the Huo family, I'll get rid of him completely!"
After hearing this, Huo Beiting gritted his teeth and nodded.
…
After completing her leave, Qiao Xi returned to the hospital to work.
Dr. Yan praised her solid foundation and, when he was too busy, he gave her the responsibility for simple cases. She spent a day giving acupuncture to those patients, and her back ached.
"Xiao Qiao, it's getting dark. You should go back early." Doctor Yan said while holding the medical record.
He admired the young woman very much and decided to make an exception and give her a permanent position.
"OK."
Qiao Xi packed up and walked out of the hospital.
The sky was dark and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased.
The dim street lights were on, and she walked along the tree-lined avenue to the bus stop, just in time to catch the last bus before ten o'clock.
Qiao Xi took out her cell phone and looked at the time again. In the past, acupuncture for Huo Xingzhou had already been completed at this time.
Suddenly, a new message popped up on her phone screen. A college roommate with whom she rarely kept in touch sent her a bunch of messages.
The one that caught her eye made her stunned.
"Qiao Xi, Ye Manman is dead."
"I heard she owed over 200,000 yuan in online loans and was threatened by the loan company, which had exposed explicit photos of her. Her parents and relatives in her hometown were humiliated and disowned her. Ye Manman went into hiding and was hit by a car while trying to escape her debts. She died instantly."
Qiao Xi's fingers tensed as she gripped the phone.
She didn't expect that Ye Manman was dead.
When she suddenly heard the news, she couldn't explain how she felt in her heart.
She was stunned until someone pushed her hard from behind.
"Qiao Xi, I finally found an opportunity." A sinister voice came from the side. Chen Xu held a knife in his hand, with a cold light shining on it, across her neck.
Qiao Xi was being held hostage, and the bus stop was deserted. Chen Xu's breath was as disgusting as a snake's tongue. "I'm on guard against you. Don't try to stab me with that needle. Otherwise, I'll cut your throat!"
"What do you want to do?" Qiao Xi pretended to be calm with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Bitch! So you've been married to that cripple from the Huo family for a long time! My Chen family has been bankrupted, and I want him to have a taste of the slut I slept with!" He held Qiao Xi hostage and wanted to drag her into the thick grass.
"Wait until I've had enough fun with you, and see if he still wants you!"
How disgusting!
"I'll call the police!" Qiao Xi said coldly.
"Why are you pretending to be a chaste heroine?"
Chen Xu was filthy and smelled foul. He even took out a hemp rope and tied Qiao Xi's hands.
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
Qiao Xi only felt the person behind her fall down. She turned around and saw a man in camouflage uniform throwing the stone in his hand back to the flower bed on the side of the road.
"The young lady is frightened. Leave this man to me. The young master is waiting for you in the car ahead."
He skillfully dragged the unconscious Chen Xu away.
Qiao Xi quickly asked, "Where are you taking him?"
"The police station, of course."
It turned out that he was a good citizen who abided by the law, and Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She walked quickly to the Rolls-Royce and got in. She was terrified after getting in, still terrified.
"Mr. Huo, is that the man you sent to protect me?"
The man with a cold expression looked at her pale face and said, "I'm worried that something might happen to you." He was originally guarding against Huo Beiting's revenge, but he didn't expect that it would be used today.
"Chen Xu said his family went bankrupt. Was it you who did this?"
She looked at him with clear eyes and asked.
"His family recently invested in several projects, all of which lost money, leading to bankruptcy." He didn't answer directly. He had instructed Zhou Yu to give those projects to the Chen family.
If you are not greedy, you will not go bankrupt.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, but the Chen family is greedy.
"Um."
Qiao Xi responded sullenly.
"What's wrong?" the man asked.
"I'm a little tired. I feel like a lot happened today." Qiao Xi frowned and said, "Grandma wants to be discharged from the hospital and go back to the countryside. I don't want to let her go. But she said there's no one to talk to in the hospital, and she misses her friends in the countryside."
"Are you worried that she'll be threatened by the Su family again when she returns?"
"yes."
"I'll hire a female bodyguard for her who can protect her and take care of her daily life." He was very thoughtful and gave the best suggestion.
"But this will increase your burden. Mr. Huo, I already owe you a lot."
"I'll owe you for now. I'll need your help later."
Huo Xingzhou stopped trying to fool her with "employee benefits" and said, "Qiao Xi, you are very valuable. Don't underestimate yourself."
"Okay." Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at him seriously. She remembered everything in her heart.
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Let's find a weekend and send her back to her hometown."
"Yeah." Qiao Xi nodded obediently.
Huo Xingzhou was about to say something when his phone vibrated. He saw the number and answered it with a serious expression.
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but I saw that his face became increasingly cold.
"Bring the person to the villa!" Huo Xingzhou's voice was bone-chillingly cold.
