Chapter 271 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 22
Faced with her sarcasm, Xue Ling acted rashly and blurted out, "Xu Yunqing, are you stupid? You believe everything Huo Chen says? I'm not..."
She wanted to say that she hadn't come back to gather information at all, and that she looked down on Xie Mingxiao, that trash, but after being given a dismissive glance by Huo Chen, she suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Yun Qing glanced at her and sneered, "If I don't believe him, do you think I should believe you?"
"Huo Chen wouldn't dare harm me, but you've become quite bold!"
Xue Ling: ...Huo Chen wouldn't dare harm her? That's a joke!
She never expected Xu Yunqing to be so stupid and so easily fooled!
Why should Huo Chen keep enduring her humiliation? He could easily fool her and make her forget about causing him any trouble.
Xue Ling is genuinely starting to not understand the plot anymore.
She couldn't help but glance at Huo Chen again, only to find his gaze fixed on Xu Yunqing, his eyes filled with barely restrained...desire?
Xue Ling was filled with disbelief, wondering if she had seen things wrong.
Before she could investigate, the butler suddenly walked in and said, "Miss, Xie Mingxiao is making a scene outside, demanding that Young Master Huo hand over Xue Ling."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
She turned to look at Huo Chen. What happened? Huo Chen kidnapped Xue Ling?
Huo Chen seemed to realize something, took out his phone and glanced at it, then exclaimed in realization:
“I think I sent the wrong message. I meant to inform my assistant about some work-related matters, but I accidentally sent it to Xie Mingxiao. The voice message may have recorded Xue Ling’s screams from when she was beaten earlier. He must have misunderstood.”
"Xie Mingxiao sends me messages every day to scold me. He's always in the front row, right next to my assistant."
"It's also my fault for being careless. It was a bit chaotic just now, and I didn't see clearly."
Yun Qing's face darkened, and she said irritably, "When did you add him? Don't you know you can block him?"
Huo Chen said good-naturedly, "He added me a few days ago. Xie Mingxiao is furious because of the recent actions of the Xu Group. I was afraid that if I blocked him, he would transfer his anger to the young lady."
Yun Qing shouted angrily, "He dares!"
Listening to their conversation, Xue Ling felt that Huo Chen's words were a bit strange.
Before she could figure it out, Huo Chen said, "It seems that Xie Mingxiao is truly in love with Xue Ling. The Xie family must be quite busy right now, yet he actually put aside company matters to come and ask for her personally."
Yun Qing snorted coldly, "Let's go, let's go out and see the great Casanova."
She also brought a few extra bodyguards.
Huo Chen followed behind her. Before leaving, he glanced at Xue Ling, and his threatening and gloomy gaze made Xue Ling's heart tremble.
She never expected her biggest secret to be exposed so suddenly, and now Huo Chen was clearly using this secret to threaten her.
She didn't want to go back to Xie Mingxiao's side, but she didn't dare to gamble on Huo Chen's conscience either. After all, he was a villainous boss, and he might actually do something like sending her to be dissected for research.
Xue Ling gritted her teeth, preparing to go out and take a look, but was pulled back by Xue Lan who suddenly ran out.
"Where are you going? Don't you dare leave! Cut ties with Xie Mingxiao, or don't blame me for disowning you as my daughter!"
Xue Ling flung her hand away and shouted angrily, "What do you know! You know nothing!"
She ignored Xue Lan and ran straight out.
Upon seeing Huo Chen, Xie Mingxiao's face darkened, and he angrily said, "Huo Chen, you are truly despicable and shameless..."
Before he could even finish speaking, Yun Qing waved her hand and said to the bodyguard behind her, "Teach Young Master Xie how to speak properly."
Xie Mingxiao has learned his lesson and now goes out with bodyguards. He naturally wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Yun Qing, but he has no qualms about dealing with her bodyguards.
Unfortunately, he was in a hurry to rescue Xue Ling, so he didn't bring enough bodyguards, and they didn't seem to be as capable as Yun Qing's bodyguards.
So, bringing bodyguards only delayed the beating, but didn't change his fate of being pinned down and beaten.
Yun Qing even went over and kicked him a few times, saying, "That'll teach you to be foul-mouthed! That'll teach you to swear!"
Huo Chen looked down at Xie Mingxiao, who was lying on the ground, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on his lips, but it was gone in an instant.
Provoked, Xie Mingxiao was enraged, his face contorted with rage. "Huo, Chen!"
Yun Qing stomped on the back of his hand and ground it, angrily saying, "You still dare to threaten me!"
Xie Mingxiao: ...So annoying!
Is Xu Yunqing blind?! Am I threatening him? Or is he mocking me?!
Huo Chen turned to Xue Ling, who was hiding behind, and said, "Aren't you going to check on him?"
He spoke in a gentle tone, asking a simple question, but his eyes told Xue Ling that she had no choice.
Xue Ling tried one last desperate attempt, whispering, "Huo Chen, I love you, I don't want to..."
Huo Chen coldly uttered two words, "Shut up."
Xue Ling felt somewhat defeated, knowing that Huo Chen would never believe her confession.
Because Xu Yunqing had been teasing him for a long time, he lacked trust in people.
So she knew from the beginning that if she wanted to get close to Huo Chen and win his favor, she would have to take it slowly.
She's only resorting to this as a last-ditch effort because she's been forced into a corner, but it's all in vain.
She glanced at the disheveled Xie Mingxiao, feeling utterly disgusted with him and not wanting to go over at all, but in the end, she had no choice but to go over.
She stood reluctantly to the side, offering a perfunctory inquiry: "Xie Mingxiao, are you alright?"
Yun Qing: ...You might as well shout "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
However, Xie Mingxiao was so dizzy from the beating that he didn't realize anything was wrong and struggled to comfort Xue Ling, "I'm fine, don't be afraid..."
Yun Qing was very touched, so she asked the bodyguard to stop.
Actually, they felt that was enough, and they didn't want to kill the person.
But Xie Mingxiao truly loves Xue Ling! Even after all this, he's still worried that Xue Ling might be scared.
Compared to the perfunctory treatment she received when pursuing her in the past, she once again doubted whether she had been blind back then.
After the bodyguards stepped back, Xie Mingxiao struggled to his feet, swaying unsteadily and barely able to stand. Despite the pain all over his body, he pulled Xue Ling into his arms and gently comforted her, "It's alright..."
Yun Qing clicked her tongue in admiration from the side, "The two of you are truly deeply in love, your affection is stronger than gold, and your love is endless..."
Xie Mingxiao froze, his previously feverish mind suddenly calming down.
He reached out and pushed Xue Ling away, then looked at Yun Qing and said, "Yun Qing, you've misunderstood. I only thought of Xue Ling as a younger sister. I only came to check on her because I thought Huo Chen had poisoned her."
Xue Ling was so angry her nose almost crooked. He truly lived up to his reputation as the scumbag male lead in the original story! He was always looking for something better than what he had!
Huo Chen said quietly, "Weren't you all asleep? You're still treating her like a younger sister? Young Master Xie, you're really playing games!"
Xie Mingxiao gritted his teeth, looking at Yun Qing as if he wanted to explain, but before he could even open his mouth, Huo Chen spoke first: "You're not trying to say you were drunk and acted recklessly, are you? Acting recklessly while drunk and then doing that to your sister... Young Master Xie, you're a real beast!"
Yun Qing moved away from Xie Mingxiao with disdain.
Xie Mingxiao was so angry that he wanted to curse Huo Chen, but Yun Qing was watching him intently from the side, so he didn't dare to say a word.
Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he managed to say, "Yun Qing, don't believe Huo Chen. He's up to no good and talks a lot of nonsense."
Yun Qing: Heh... As expected, you're trying to sow discord!
Xie Mingxiao, recalling how Huo Chen had schemed against him before, said, "He's the kind of manipulative guy who's very cunning. You're too naive; you probably won't be able to tell the difference. Be careful not to be fooled by him."
Yun Qing raised her chin and snorted arrogantly, "That's none of Young Master Xie's concern. I can't tell the difference between a green tea b*tch and a green tea b*tch, but I can tell the difference between close and distant relationships."
"I'm not familiar with Young Master Xie. People should have some boundaries and not meddle too much, don't you think, Young Master Xie?"
