Huo Yuanlu's heart was beating wildly. Although he had just gotten brave enough to answer his sister-in-law's call and even said a few words to her, if his brother knew about this, he didn't know what methods he would use to deal with him.
His brother values his sister-in-law the most. If he knew that he had caused such a big trouble for him, he would probably be on the verge of death...
Ahhhh!
what to do!
Why does he feel like he's going to be finished?
Thinking of Huo Beiting's methods of dealing with people and his attitude of not treating his own brother as a human being... he felt like crying just thinking about it.
Huo Yuanlu hesitated for a moment and had an ideological struggle in his heart for a long time.
He mustered up his courage and quietly reached out to pick up the phone on the table, ready to delete the call record with Yan Qing. He tried to use this method to cover up what happened, at least to save his life temporarily.
When he left, I would send a message to Huo Beiting after I was at the scene, explaining what had happened. Huo Beiting would not be able to deal with me when the time came, and I would not only escape a disaster.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought this method was feasible. He glanced up at the conference room and saw that they didn't make any move to get up. He stood up suddenly, and just as his butt left the sofa, the next second, out of the corner of his eye, he saw people gathering in the conference room not far away.
Huo Yuanlu's hand, which had just touched the phone, immediately retracted. Sure enough, the next second he saw everyone in the conference room walking out in unison. It looked like the meeting was over.
Huo Yuanlu looked at the mobile phone on the table, then raised his head to look at Huo Beiting who was walking over, and secretly mourned for himself for a moment.
He was doomed this time. He hoped that when he called later, his sister-in-law would say a few good words for him. Maybe then Huo Beiting, this stingy man, would let him go.
Huo Yuanlu was still dreaming of this beautiful dream in his heart.
He sighed inwardly, shook his head, and attempted a final struggle.
As soon as Huo Beiting came out of the conference room, he saw Huo Yuanlu sitting upright on the sofa with a serious expression. His right eyelid suddenly twitched, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Huo Yuanlu usually had that carefree look on his face, how could he have such a serious expression? Now his attitude suddenly changed. If he didn't want something from me, then it must be because of something that had just happened.
He walked over and sat down, placing the documents on the table. He then looked up at Huo Yuanlu and said calmly, "Tell me the truth. What are you planning to do?"
Huo Yuanlu gave him a flattering smile, moved closer, and acted like a lackey in front of him, trying to please him.
"Brother, if I do something wrong, you will choose to forgive me, right? After all, we are brothers and share the same blood."
Huo Beiting felt even worse when he heard him say that.
Reaching out to push his head away, he narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "If you were the honest guy here, maybe I could spare your life."
When he said this, he snorted coldly and used some force on his hands, causing Huo Yuanlu to cry out in pain and beg for mercy.
"Brother, be gentle, I'll tell you what to do. But let's make it clear first: for the sake of our brotherhood, don't be too cruel to me."
It was obvious that Huo Yuanlu wanted to get a golden ticket to immunity from death first. As long as Huo Beiting gave the order, he would have a reason to run away even if he was angry.
His plan was clever, but it was a pity that he met the big devil Huo Beiting.
What kind of tricks had Huo Beiting not seen? He saw through his petty intentions immediately. Not only did he not give him the promise he wanted, but he even curled his lips into a cold smile, half-closed his eyes, and spoke in a warning tone.
"I'll give you three seconds to think about it. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll have to consider whether you can still get your pocket money for the rest of this month."
When Huo Beiting said this, he basically grasped Huo Yuanlu's lifeline.
The expression on his face was somewhat disheartened. After he explained the whole story to him honestly, he raised his head and looked at Huo Beiting with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Brother, I am your biological brother. I answered the call, but I didn't say anything bad about you."
As he spoke, he took the phone from the table, held it in both hands and handed it to him with a flattering smile, "So, look at my pocket money..."
Huo Beiting took the phone and looked at the call record that lasted nearly three minutes. The veins in his temples throbbed and he spoke in a cold voice with gritted teeth.
"You've run out of pocket money this month."
Huo Yuanlu sat on the sofa, feeling hopeless.
In the end, he couldn't keep it. A three-minute phone call cost him this month's pocket money. Thinking of the two lonely zeros in the card, he suddenly felt despair.
If he had known this, he would not have been so careless as to answer the call.
When he thought of this, he took advantage of the time when Huo Beiting was on the phone to slap his hands twice, with an expression of aggrieved and sad.
Let your hands be naughty! Let your hands be naughty!
Huo Beiting called and listened to the beeping sound, feeling a little confused. Normally, the call would go through immediately, but today it was like this.
Could it be that Huo Yuanlu just said something to her that he shouldn't have?
When he thought of this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Just when I was about to hang up and give Huo Yuanlu a good scolding, the phone suddenly rang.
On the other end of the phone, Yan Qing looked at the note on his phone, double-checking it was correct before hesitantly speaking, "Hello? Beiting?"
As soon as Huo Beiting answered the phone, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed and he softened his voice to explain to her what had just happened.
Simply put, explain the matter clearly.
Yan Qing on the other end of the phone frowned hesitantly, and after hesitating for a long time, he asked Huo Beiting tentatively.
"He just said he was your brother. How come I didn't know you had a younger brother? I've never heard you mention him to me."
When she said this, she was worried about asking something she shouldn't ask, so her expression looked a little hesitant.
"Is there something you can't tell me? Or is there some other reason? I'm just asking casually. It's okay if you can't tell me."
Yan Qing frowned, pursed her lips, and said nothing after she finished speaking.
After all, Huo Beiting never hid anything from her, but he hadn't told her that he had a younger brother. Yan Qing didn't doubt him, but she was worried that he might have some private matters that he didn't want to talk about, so she didn't tell her.
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Beiting was stumped.
What brother?
His mind raced, and he suddenly thought of something.
His eyes narrowed, not expecting this to happen. He was stunned for three full seconds, and the expression on his face became noticeably gloomy in the next second.
Huo Yuanlu, this bastard, can't even speak clearly.
He turned around, frowned and glared at Huo Yuanlu who was sitting on the sofa and trying to pretend to be innocent and get away with it.
