To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 604 - Beat Him Up Until He’s Ruined For Good


Chapter 604: Beat Him Up Until He’s Ruined For Good

It was already very late when Huo Jinyao returned home.

Su Qingsang was still awake. She put down the book in her hand when she saw Huo Jinyao enter the room.

“You’re back? Have you eaten yet?”

“Yes.” Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He walked to the bedside and hugged Su Qingsang, who was about to get up.

Su Qingsang froze for a moment. Her lips moved, but she didn’t ask anything.

The room was very quiet. Neither of them spoke. After a few minutes, Su Qingsang raised her hand and patted Huo Jinyao on the back.

“Grandpa told me to tell you that it was his decision to let Huo Yifan return to the company.”

Huo Jinyao’s body stiffened instantly. He let go of Su Qingsang and his gaze fell on her face.

“You know?”

Su Qingsang nodded. They had returned from C City, but Huo Jinyao didn’t return to the old mansion to dine together. Old Master Huo was such a smart man. How could he not know that Huo Jinyao was angry?

“Grandfather said that nothing beats family harmony, so –”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Huo Jinyao understood what Old Master Huo meant. It was nothing more than asking him to tolerate it in the grand scheme of things.

Tolerate it?

The problem was, he didn’t want to tolerate it.

He didn’t want to tolerate Huo Yifan, and he also didn’t want to tolerate Su Peizhen. He didn’t want to see Huo Yifan swagger around in front of him so smugly.

Old Master Huo thought that Huo Yifan would go back to dine together and would tell Huo Jinyao himself.

But Huo Jinyao didn’t go home, so he had no choice but to call Su Qingsang to the study when she was about to go home and briefly tell her.

“Grandpa said that he understands your feelings and knows that you have resentment in your heart. However, Huo Yifan is your younger brother after all. The plan he proposed this time was also very good, so please understand.”

Su Qingsang’s voice was very soft. As she spoke, she held Huo Jinyao’s hand.

She could understand his feelings, but she didn’t know how to help him.

“Wife.”

Huo Jinyao suddenly held Su Qingsang’s hand and looked at her intently.

“What?”

“If one day, I wanted to leave the Huo family, would you come with me?”

Su Qingsang frowned slightly. “Are you serious?”

“Yes, I’m serious.” Huo Jinyao looked at her seriously. “I don’t want to tolerate it anymore.”

“Then don’t tolerate it. No matter what you want to do, I’ll support you.”

Huo Jinyao smiled. This smile on his face was rare after his return to Rong City.

He picked up Su Qingsang’s hand and kissed it. When he looked up again, his gaze was very sharp.

“However, I don’t plan to leave the Huo family.”

Su Qingsang didn’t understand. The corners of Huo Jinyao’s lips curled up slightly with a hint of playfulness.

“Why should I be the one leaving? The Huo family can only be mine.”

It wasn’t that he was greedy for his current position, but if it weren’t for that accident, the Huo family would have belonged to Huo Jinkai.

He couldn’t care less about who the president of the Tianyu Group was, and he couldn’t care less about Huo Mingguang’s attitude towards him.

However, no one should replace Huo Jinkai in taking control of the Huo family and Tianyu Group.

“Jinyao, then you –”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Since Huo Yifan was feeling smug now, he would simply let him be smug for a few more days. It was just a proposal. He would have a way to make it impossible for him to carry out that proposal.

Su Qingsang didn’t respond. She reached out and hugged him again.

It didn’t matter whether he stayed in the Huo family or left the Huo family. She would go wherever he was.

As for whether he was the president of the Tianyu Group or not, when she got together with him, didn’t she think that he was just a lowly employee?

So, whether he was or not, what did it matter?

“No matter what you plan to do, I’ll support you.”

Huo Jinyao lowered his head. When he met her clear eyes, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

He held her in his arms, and where Su Qingsang couldn’t see, his deep eyes were filled with fierceness.

..

When Huo Jinyao entered the coffee shop, he immediately saw Qi Xiwei sitting by the window.

Qi Xiwei sat there with her long hair draped behind her head. She seemed to have become curvier. Her eyes filled with gentleness, she sat there flipping through the magazines on the table.

She hadn’t changed much over the years. She still appeared as innocent as ever.

When she saw someone in front of her, she raised her head. When she saw Huo Jinyao’s face, she smiled gently.

“Jinyao, you’re here?”

Huo Jinyao nodded and sat down across from her. Qi Xiwei didn’t close the magazine in her hand. Instead, she looked at Huo Jinyao sideways.

“We haven’t seen each other for so many years, but you’re still the same.”

“Really? So are you.”

Speaking of which, he and Qi Xiwei hadn’t seen each other for almost eight years.

Qi Xiwei’s lips curved into a smile. “I’m not the same. I’m old and haggard now.”

“You’re younger than me. If you say you’re old, doesn’t that make me older?”

“It’s different. Women age faster.” Qi Xiwei’s voice seemed to be filled with emotion, but it only lasted for a moment before she quickly changed the topic. “By the way, what would you like to drink?”

“A latte.”

“Your taste hasn’t changed much.”

As Qi Xiwei spoke, she called the waiter over and ordered a latte for Huo Jinyao, while she herself ordered a glass of juice for herself.

“I remember you like to drink Blue Mountain?”

“Yes, however, I don’t drink coffee now. I’ve already quit coffee.”

Qi Xiwei ordered two more snacks. Then, she put the magazine aside.

“You’ve quit coffee?” Huo Jinyao stared at her face as if he didn’t understand. “By the way, how have you been these past few years?”

“Not bad. I know you’re married. You must be living a pretty happy life, right?”

“Yes.”

“That’s good.” Qi Xiwei smiled sincerely. “I thought you’d be very busy. I didn’t expect you to have the time to look for me.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t deny it. “I’m indeed very busy, but I have something to ask you.”

As he spoke, he took out the document from his briefcase and pushed it in front of Qi Xiwei.

“This.”

Qi Xiwei looked at the document and flipped through it. She closed the document and looked at Huo Jinyao in confusion.

“Have you guys started? Isn’t this a good proposal?”

“It’s very good.” Huo Jinyao looked at Qi Xiwei and praised her generously. “If it can be implemented, it will bring huge, long-term benefits to the company.”

“It’s good that it can help you.”

Qi Xiwei smiled, and the smile on her face was very pure. Huo Jinyao looked at her and took back the proposal.

“Unfortunately, this proposal didn’t help me.”

“Huh?” Qi Xiwei froze for a moment, as if she didn’t quite understand what Huo Jinyao meant. “Why? Why can’t it help you?”

“Xiwei, can you tell me why you want to gave me this proposal? If I remember correctly, with your profession and what you’ve learned, such a proposal would be very beneficial to you and the company you work for.”

“I know. But now, I don’t have the energy to care about that.”

Qi Xiwei bit her lip, and her voice was a little soft. “I myself was very optimistic about such a proposal, but I don’t have enough spare energy to continue. In my heart, you are the most suitable candidate. I feel that if I let you carry out such a proposal, you will definitely make the most of it.”

“Thank you, Xiwei. Thank you for thinking so highly of me. But the question is, why didn’t you come to me to give me this proposal personally?”

Qi Xiwei lowered her head, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed. “I did. I went to Tianyu Group to look for you, but they said that you weren’t there. Then, I met your sister-in-law, Su Peizhen. She said that you went to City C and won’t be back anytime soon. So, I gave the document to her and asked her to pass it to you.”

Huo Jinyao pursed his lips into a straight line. He felt a little helpless at Qi Xiwei’s reckless actions. “Are you close to her? Why did you give her such an important thing?”

“Not really. But I knew her when she was in the U.S. I know that she’s the young madam of Lin City’s Li family. I saw the video of your anniversary last time. She’s married to your cousin now, so you’re all family.

“That’s why I gave it to her when she said she could pass it on to you.”

“Xiwei…” Huo Jinyao didn’t expect that Su Peizhen’s perfect plan came up like this. “I remember that you weren’t such a careless person in the past.”

“Yeah. I also feel that I’ve changed a lot.” Looking a little uncomfortable, Qi Xiwei smiled. “But I can’t help it. It’s a special period now. Not only can’t I keep up in terms of energy, but sometimes my thoughts also can’t keep up either.”

Special period? This time, it was Huo Jinyao’s turn to be confused. Qi Xiwei smiled. “Yeah, I’m pregnant. So –”

She didn’t finish her sentence. Since she had been sitting and holding a magazine in her hand before, Huo Jinyao didn’t notice that aspect.

Because of her words, Huo Jinyao looked down at her abdomen. Only then did he realize that Qi Xiwei’s abdomen had already bulged out, and it indeed looked like she was pregnant.

“Jinyao, to be honest with you, ever since I got pregnant, I’ve been in low spirits, and my temper had become volatile. You’re right. I originally planned to carry out this proposal in my own company, but because of my unstable mood recently, my boss asked me to hand over this proposal to someone else. I was very unhappy and had an argument with my boss over it.”

“After the argument, I was angry and annoyed. I didn’t want to let my boss off so easily, so I decided to give this proposal to you.”

“I only found out that you were married after I returned to the country. After thinking about it, I couldn’t think of any other gift to give you. I had been working on this proposal for a long time, so it is quite substantial and I thought of giving it to you as a wedding gift.”

Qi Xiwei seemed to be a little embarrassed when she said this. “Originally, I wanted to give this to you personally, but the last time I went to your company to look for you, you weren’t there. My low blood pressure was acting up again, and it was your sister-in-law who sent me to the hospital. At that time, the proposal just happened to fall in her car, and later she said that she would give it to you. I happened to be feeling unwell, so naturally I gave it to her.”

She explained the whole process, but didn’t understand what was wrong.

“She didn’t give it to you? But then, why do you have it now?”

Huo Jinyao was silent for a few seconds. Qi Xiwei’s expression turned ugly again. “Did I do something wrong? What happened? Tell me.”

“Xiwei, can you do me a favor?”

“Of course. You know, I’m willing to help you with anything.”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Huo Jinyao understood what she meant. Yes, Qi Xiwei was like that. She was always very warm-hearted.

She was like this when she was in school, and she was like this after she left school.

“Thank you in advance.” Huo Jinyao didn’t say what it was about. He looked at Qi Xiwei with a hint of concern in his eyes. “By the way, since you’re married, is your husband treating you well?”

“We broke up.” Qi Xiwei shook her head and didn’t want to talk about it anymore. “I’m alone now.”

Huo Jinyao was a little stunned by Qi Xiwei’s nonchalance, and he didn’t know what to say because of her indifferent attitude.

“But, aren’t you pregnant now?”

“Yes. I know I’m pregnant.” Qi Xiwei lowered her head as she spoke, and she placed a hand on her abdomen. At that moment, her expression was rather gentle. “I know I’m pregnant. This is my child. Even if his father doesn’t want him, I want him.”

Huo Jinyao was a little surprised that she didn’t seem to care. He thought about it and spoke very seriously.

“Xiwei, we’re friends. If there’s anything you need my help with, you must let me know.”

“Thank you.” Qi Xiwei smiled at him. “But, there’s no need for that now. I’m fine just the way I am.”

She thought of what Huo Jinyao had said just now. “Oh right, you said just now that you need my help with something. May I ask, what is it?”

Huo Jinyao’s gaze swept across the proposal. There was a flash of malice in his eyes, but he didn’t show it in front of Qi Xiwei.

..

When Huo Jinyao entered the company, it was Monday. There was a regular Monday meeting today.

Huo Yifan had already been kicked out and shouldn’t have had the right to participate, but because of the recent proposal, he sat in the meeting room again and took a seat inside.

When he saw Huo Jinyao and Yang Wenchang standing together, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, then a flash of smugness and arrogance flashed through his eyes.

Yang Wenchang saw it and his face darkened. He couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao.

However, Huo Jinyao acted as if nothing had happened. He walked up to the main seat and sat down at the first seat of the conference table.

The main seat belonged to Huo Mingguang. Ever since Huo Jinyao and Huo Mingguang parted on bad terms, Huo Jinyao hadn’t gone to look for Huo Mingguang in the past few days.

In any case, he had nothing to say to Huo Mingguang. Both father and son worked at the Tianyu Group every day, but they didn’t bump into each other even once.

It must have been ironic.

Soon, Huo Mingguang arrived. It wasn’t just him. There was also Huo Mingliang.

The two of them entered the conference room one after the other. They sat down at the head of the table. Huo Mingguang glanced at Huo Jinyao. If he looked carefully, he would notice a flash of guilt in his eyes.

But it was only for a moment. Soon, he looked at the people in front of him. He announced the start of the regular meeting.

There was nothing to hear in the first place. Back and forth, it was just some daily matters of the company and the progress of some big projects.

Huo Jinyao propped up his chin with one hand, as if he was listening to the reports of these people seriously.

From time to time, he would glance at Huo Mingguang. In the past, he wouldn’t attend such regular meetings every time.

But today, he was listening especially seriously. When he looked at Huo Mingliang again, the expression on his face was full of pride, and he couldn’t hide it.

There was also Huo Yiyang and Huo Manzi, who were sitting next to Huo Yifan. In contrast to the dejected look on Huo Yifan’s face when he was kicked out of Tianyu Group, Huo Yifan looked especially smug at the moment.

Huo Jinyao admired their expressions. He knew that they were smug with themselves. However, it wouldn’t last long now.

It would only be until today. After today, he was confident that Huo Yifan wouldn’t be able to be smug anymore.

Soon, it was Huo Yifan’s turn to speak. What he wanted to say was about the proposal that he was currently working on.

Huo Mingliang’s eyes lit up when it was Huo Yifan’s turn to speak. He looked at Huo Yifan with pride written all over his face.

He wasn’t the only one. Weren’t the other Huo siblings the same?

This proposal was indeed very good. Huo Jinyao admitted it. Qi Xiwei looked meek, but she was very capable.

In fact, after she graduated, Huo Jinyao had already thought about letting her join the Tianyu Group.

But Qi Xiwei refused, and she chose to stay in the United States. A few years ago, he had almost no contact with her.

If not for this incident, where he followed the clues given by Yang Wenchang and found out that Huo Yifan’s proposal was actually given to him by Su Peizhen.

And unbeknownst to him, Su Peizhen actually contacted Qi Xiwei. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that Qi Xiwei returned to the country because her business philosophy and her design philosophy of some new products were different from her boss’s.

She had been back for some time. She wasn’t feeling well before, so she stayed at home to recuperate. She also changed the proposal in her hands.

It wasn’t until later that she felt that it was perfect and could be put to good use that she then came to look for him. This proposal, which was originally a wedding gift from Qi Xiwei, had unexpectedly fallen into the hands of Su Peizhen.

Heh. Su Peizhen, that woman. He had punished her too lightly previously.

This time, it was just the right time to take care of Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Huo Yifan was speaking with confidence. He was quite confident in the case he was currently working on.

Half of this confidence came from the perfect proposal. The other half was his confidence in his own abilities.

He believed that he would definitely be able to turn things around beautifully this time.

As he thought of this, he couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao with a smug and provocative expression.

Huo Jinyao acted as if he didn’t see it. He lowered his head to look at the time. It should be about time.

The moment he raised his head, the door to the conference room was opened. Zhang Yang walked in front, after he met the people inside, he finally looked at Huo Jinyao.

“President Huo?”

The corners of Huo Jinyao’s lips curled up. Very good, he was here. The show had begun.

Zhang Yang’s sudden appearance made everyone look at him. They also saw the person standing behind him.

Huo Yifan’s expression was filled with dissatisfaction. He was about to continue when he saw Zhang Yang walking in with the person behind him.
