Chapter 105 - Twisting With Regret
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Xu Xiyan walked out of the hotel and got into Huo Yunshen’s van. The two met again in the vehicle, but Xu Xiyan did not look perturbed by the incident back at the hotel. She was back to her normal self, talking and joking with him as usual.
As for Huo Yunshen, there was still something strange about him.
On the road, Huo Yunshen’s phone rang on the coffee table. Xu Xiyan glanced at it and noticed the caller ID on the screen was “Director Xu.”
Huo Yunshen looked down at it and furrowed his brow in seeing that Xu Jinshan was calling. He didn’t want anyone to disturb him when he was alone with Xu Xiyan. So he picked up the phone and rejected the call, then turned it off.
Xu Xiyan sneered inwardly. Hahaha, Xu Jinshan! Afraid now?
Didn’t think that your evil plans would turn out this way, huh?
The van was not heading back to Shengshi Yujing. Xu Xiyan turned away from the window and asked, “Mr. Huo, aren’t we going home? Where are we going?”
“We’re going to Jingyue Entertainment.”
“Oh, I almost forgot.”
They had not visited Jingyue Entertainment before because Ying Bao was being hospitalized at that time. She’d totally forgotten about it, and hadn’t expected him to remember.
…
At the Xu family house, Xu Jinshan could not reach Xu Xiyan on her phone. He had also tried to call Huo Yunshen but he’d hung up on him. When he tried to call Huo Yunshen again, he’d already turned off his phone.
What does this mean?
Is President Huo really angry?
He’s not even picking up my calls.
I’m finished…what should I do now?
If President Huo is blaming me, what can I do?
Xu Jinshan realized that he’d made a big mistake, and felt his insides twisting with regret.
Su Rui, who was next to him, asked him, “Husband, is it done? Is President Huo satisfied?”
“Satisfied, my ass!” Xu Jinshan glared angrily at Su Rui. “This is all your fault! You’re the one who came up with this idea and now we’ve offended President Huo! What are we going to do now?”
Su Rui felt wronged. “What? I thought the rumors said President Huo had recovered his ‘ability!’ Why is he angry? Didn’t you say that he fancied Yanyan years ago?”
“It was only that year! It’s already been five years since then, how could he still remember the girl? I’ve made a big mistake!” Xu Jinshan sighed heavily.
Su Rui thought for a moment. She had an idea. “What about Xinrou? Maybe President Huo would be interested in her.”
“…” Xu Jinshan was silent with anger before bursting out into a roar, “Shut your trap! I don’t want to hear any more of your rotten ideas! If he’s not interested in Yanyan, what makes you think he would be interested in Xinrou? Do you want to ruin my daughter?”
Su Rui was only trying to help her husband but was met by his fury. Upset, she retaliated, “What are you yelling about! I’m doing this for you and the Xu family’s sake! Why would I want to ruin my own daughter?”
“Then don’t mess it up! I don’t know how, but Xinrou offended Huo Yunshen recently. I heard that Huo Yunshen taught her a lesson in front of the film crew. I’m so worried. It seems my days are over!” Xu Jinshan sighed, running his hands through his hair.
Su Rui toned down her voice. “Then think of something! Is it because President Huo found out about the things you’ve done in the past? Does he have a problem with you now?”
“That’s impossible…” Xu Jinshan broke into a sweat as he thought about the unscrupulous things he’d done after joining Yunhai Entertainment.
Su Rui had always acted as a think-tank for Xu Jinshan. She continued, “Oh, didn’t you say that the vice president is only second to Huo Yunshen? Why don’t you go and gain his favor instead? You would still be able to enjoy the same benefits.”
“Besides,” she continued, “think about the long-term. Huo Yunshen is permanently disabled and impotent. He is destined to leave no legacy behind! The future of the Huo family is in Huo Jingtang’s hands!”
