Chapter 264 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 15
Yun Qing and Huo Chen accompanied Xu Wei to lunch before leaving.
Yun Qing got into the car, and after making sure the old man hadn't followed her out, she threw her bag at Huo Chen, who had just gotten in, and sneered, "Trying to be my brother?"
Huo Chen picked up his bag and put it away, then looked at her with a very sincere tone, "I don't want to."
Yun Qing glared at him angrily, "How dare you look down on me!"
Huo Chen: ...
He lowered his eyes, his tone humble, "I dare not, I am not worthy."
Yun Qing's anger suddenly collapsed. Looking at his pitiful appearance, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable and a little guilty.
Was I too harsh?
No! How could this be my fault? It's all Huo Chen's fault!
She snorted coldly, her tone fierce but her voice weak: "Good that you know."
Then I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, I don’t know if I wanted to avoid seeing it or if I was just sleepy.
Huo Chen leaned over and helped her fasten her seatbelt, asking, "Is Miss going home?"
The young lady closed her eyes and hummed, "I won't go back."
But she didn't say where she was going.
Huo Chen glanced at her, but didn't ask any more questions. He drove straight to the company.
He had a good grasp of Yun Qing's temperament and knew that sometimes he shouldn't ask too many questions.
If he dared to ask the young lady if she wanted to go to the company with him, he might touch a nerve and she might get angry and refuse to go.
The employees were quite surprised to see Yun Qing and Huo Chen appear together at the company.
Wasn't it rumored that the young lady and President Huo didn't get along? How come they seem to be getting along quite well?
In his office, Huo Chen was serving tea and water to the young lady when someone knocked on the door. Huo Chen immediately said, "Come in."
Ye Liang pushed open the door and called out, "Huo Chen, about Xue Ling before..."
He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed the young lady was also there.
Yun Qing glanced at Huo Chen and then asked Ye Liang, "What's wrong with Xue Ling?"
Ye Liang hesitated, unsure whether he should speak.
Huo Chen looked at him, his gaze anything but friendly, and his tone was rather sinister, "Speak."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, and his hesitant manner only made the young lady think that he had an improper relationship with Xue Ling in private.
Ye Liang couldn't help but groan inwardly. Miss Xu used to come to the company only twice a year, so why is she here again now?
He carefully considered his words before speaking: "Didn't Xue Ling come for an interview before? I did intend to keep her as my assistant, but didn't you say you didn't want to see her? So I didn't use her."
"But she seemed very confident that I would choose her."
He glanced at Yun Qing as he spoke, then continued, "And then she seemed to misunderstand that it was the eldest young lady who interfered, preventing her from entering the Xu family."
Huo Chen frowned and said, "Then you didn't tell her it was my idea?"
"Uh... I didn't say anything, and she didn't give me a chance to say anything either!"
"That's not the most important thing right now. The most important thing is that Young Master Xie wants me to give Xue Ling a chance."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Qing again.
Logically speaking, Xie Mingxiao's reach shouldn't extend to the Xu family, but unfortunately, the young lady likes him!
If we don't give Xie Mingxiao face, who knows if the young lady will cause him trouble?
Huo Chen was right; Xue Ling was no simple person.
I don't know how she got involved with Xie Mingxiao.
It's good to say it in front of the young lady now, so that she knows that Xie Mingxiao is involved with other women and is disappointed in him. Only then will Huo Chen have a chance!
Huo Chen looked at Yun Qing, who was sizing him up and said, "It seems you really don't like Xue Ling!"
Ye Liang: ? ? ?
What is this? Huo Chen likes Xue Ling?
He couldn't help but look at Huo Chen with a hint of disappointment. How did he even manage to pursue her like that? He'd actually made the young lady think he liked someone else!
Huo Chen ignored him and looked at Yun Qing with a meaningful gaze, "Miss, you're not angry?"
The young lady immediately slammed her hand on the sofa and angrily said, "Who said I'm not angry? That bastard Xie Mingxiao, does he think the Xu family is his? And that Xue Ling, I never realized she was mentally unstable before!"
Huo Chen felt that not only Xue Ling, but Xie Mingxiao also had something wrong with his head.
He had just sown discord between him and Xue Ling, and now he actually wants to put Xue Ling in the Xu family?
It seems Xue Ling does have some tricks up her sleeve; she managed to charm people so quickly.
Huo Chen said calmly, "Miss, Xie Mingxiao dared to openly send Xue Ling to the Xu family. It seems he doesn't take you seriously at all. Is he going to abandon Xie Po when the weather gets cold?"
Ye Liang: ...Huo Chen, something's wrong with you!
Yun Qing gave Huo Chen an approving look and snorted coldly, "The Xie family dared to set their sights on the Xu family, so they should pay the price!"
She stood up and said, "I have to go to the Xie family to demand an explanation. We need to stand on the moral high ground."
Seeing Yun Qing leave without warning, Huo Chen's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "It's indeed time for Xie Po to leave as the weather gets colder."
Ye Liang couldn't hold back any longer, "Huo Chen, you're not serious, are you?"
Huo Chen said coldly, "I've never played house since I was a child."
Ye Liang wanted to say something, but then swallowed his words back. "Fine, you know what you're doing."
"However, how did you pursue the young lady? Although she doesn't seem to care much about Xie Mingxiao anymore, she doesn't seem to care about you either! She thought you liked someone else."
"You two have already... you know, so why are you the only one doing all the work? Are you sure the young lady isn't just playing with you?"
Huo Chen glanced at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Miss and I didn't do anything."
Ye Liang had a "Do you think I believe you?" look on his face, but he didn't argue with him about it. He just said worriedly, "It's going to be difficult for you to win over the young lady."
Huo Chen remained calm and scoffed, "What do you know?"
Ye Liang rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine, I don't understand. You understand, right? I can't be bothered with you."

Xie Mingxiao, as the male protagonist of a tragic novel, enjoys the kind of thing where he forcibly takes what he wants.
After being angered by Wenxu's words last night, he simply carried Xue Ling away.
If Xue Ling coaxes him properly, perhaps he can calm down.
Unfortunately, Xue Ling looked down on Xie Mingxiao, not only resisting him but also speaking harshly to him.
Even when Xie Mingxiao mentioned Huo Chen, she fearlessly declared that Huo Chen was better than him in every way.
This is outrageous! Do they really think the male protagonist in a angst-filled novel has no temper?!
Enraged, Xie Mingxiao disregarded Xue Ling's resistance and took advantage of her, even calling a doctor in the middle of the night because he had tormented her so badly.
Xue Ling was sick and kept crying.
She simply couldn't understand why she had ended up on the same path as the original storyline.
She's a transmigrator!
Her favorite character is Huo Chen. Didn't she come here to save Huo Chen?
If she's just here to follow the path of a tragic heroine in a novel, what's the point of her transmigrating into the book?
