Chapter 263 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 14
Yun Qing received a call from her husband early in the morning, saying that he missed her so much that he couldn't even eat breakfast.
Yun Qing: ...It was quite sudden.
But what can she do? He's her only husband, and she has to spoil him!
So, after finishing breakfast, she planned to visit the old man at the nursing home and, while she was at it, drag Huo Chen, who hadn't gone to the company yet, to be her driver.
On the way, she sized up Huo Chen and interrogated him, "You really didn't complain?"
Huo Chen shook his head without changing his expression, "I really didn't complain about Miss."
Yun Qing couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Then why would Dad suddenly say he misses me? And misses me so much that he can't eat or sleep? That's not like him. This is so unusual, it can't be anything good!"
"Could it be that Xie Mingxiao is causing trouble? He only bled a few drops and wasn't seriously injured. Could he have gone to the old man to demand an explanation?"
Huo Chen said, "It's alright, I was the one who hit him, it has nothing to do with Miss."
Yun Qing's temper flared up instantly. "Do you think I'm afraid of him? So what if I let it be smashed?"
"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to apologize to him!"
They had just arrived at the sanatorium when Huo Chen stopped the car and said, "Okay, whatever Miss says."
Yun Qing turned her head to look at him and suddenly said, "Huo Chen, why do I feel like you've been acting strange lately?"
Huo Chen paused for a moment, then asked calmly, "What's strange about it?"
Yun Qing thought for a moment and said, "You're a little too obedient."
Huo Chen: ...
“I used to be very obedient.”
Yun Qing sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? What do you mean by obedient? You used to just dare to be angry but dare not speak out!"
She sized up Huo Chen, then asked suspiciously, "Are you plotting something? Are you being so obedient to lower my guard?"
Huo Chen calmly said, "No, I'm just grateful that Miss didn't hand me over to the Xie family to deal with."
"Are you talking about the time you beat up Xie Mingxiao?"
"That's Xie Mingxiao's fault. Handing you over to the Xie family would only weaken my authority."
"Besides, it was me who asked you to beat me up. One should take responsibility for one's own actions. Although I dislike you, I would not push all the blame onto you."
Huo Chen fell silent.
Yun Qing had already opened the car door and gotten out.
She was ready to confront Xie Mingxiao aggressively, but when she went inside, she found the old man leisurely enjoying his tea.
Yun Qing sat down beside her and said irritably, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xu Wei is decisive and efficient in business, but he is inevitably more cautious when facing Yun Qing.
He was afraid that Yun Qing would be saddened by Xie Mingxiao's affair, so he didn't dare to tell her directly that Xie Mingxiao was entangled with other women.
Instead, he carefully asked, "How have things been going with that Xie family kid lately?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing's aura instantly flared up again. "The Xie family is looking for you? Didn't I tell you? Xie Mingxiao and his lackeys have gone too far. Is it wrong for me to hit them?"
Xu Wei: ...
I knew it! It's not certain who'll be scared yet!
"The Xie family didn't contact me."
Yun Qing raised an eyebrow and said, "Then why are you asking Xie Mingxiao?"
"Isn't this just me showing concern for your love life?"
Yun Qing gave her a look of utter disapproval, "Please don't! Don't drag me into anything with Xie Mingxiao!"
Xu Wei immediately perked up, "You don't like Xie Mingxiao anymore?"
Yun Qing said with some discomfort, "I was blind before."
"You really don't like it anymore?"
Yun Qing said impatiently, "Why are you so long-winded? I really don't like it! Stop mentioning him all the time, it's bad luck!"
Xu Wei was relieved and said, "It's best if you don't like him. That Xie family kid is no good person."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Qing's expression.
Yun Qing said irritably, "What are you looking at me for?"
This old man, I've already said she doesn't like Xie Mingxiao, why don't you believe me?
Does she seem like someone who says one thing but means another?
Seeing that Yun Qing really didn't care much about Xie Mingxiao anymore, Xu Wei then showed Yun Qing the evidence that Huo Chen had given him.
Yun Qing was stunned, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Xie Mingxiao had actually gotten involved with Xue Ling, and she hadn't even noticed.
So, when Xie Mingxiao came to the Xu family saying he missed her, he was actually thinking of Xue Ling?
It might not be so bad that he picked her flowers and gave them to her; he might have also picked her flowers and given them to Xue Ling!
Xue Ling has been constantly going against her lately, and it seems that it's not out of sympathy for Huo Chen, but rather because Xie Mingxiao is ostensibly pursuing her, so she's jealous of her.
Previously, Xue Ling wouldn't let Huo Chen beat up Xie Mingxiao. She said she was afraid Huo Chen would kill someone and become a murderer, but in reality, she was protecting Xie Mingxiao.
She remained silent for a while, and Xu Wei couldn't help but worry, "Yun Qing, are you alright?"
Huo Chen had been standing silently to the side, but now his gaze fell on Yun Qing.
To everyone's surprise, Yun Qing suddenly looked up at him, meeting his gaze. She glared at him and said fiercely, "Why are you looking at me like that? You're not feeling sorry for me, are you?"
Xu Wei was relieved; he could still pick a fight with Huo Chen, so he wasn't too heartbroken.
Huo Chen lowered his eyes and said, "It is Xie Mingxiao who is not good enough for Miss."
Yun Qing raised her chin and snorted coldly, "Of course!"
After saying that, she added a comforting remark, "You don't need to be too sad."
Xu Wei: ? ? ?
Does this involve Huo Chen?
Huo Chen was also a little confused. What was he sad about?
"It's Xue Ling's loss that she doesn't like you."
Huo Chen almost lost his composure. "Miss, I don't like Xue Ling. I'm not sad."
Yun Qing raised an eyebrow. "You really don't like her? Xue Ling has repeatedly argued with me for your sake, and wholeheartedly protected you. Aren't you even a little bit moved? Now that you've discovered that she actually likes Xie Mingxiao, and you're just a dispensable tool, aren't you even a little bit heartbroken?"
Huo Chen gritted his teeth and said calmly, "I've long suspected she had ulterior motives."
Yun Qing looked regretful. "Oh, that's a real pity."
Huo Chen: ...
After watching the commotion from the sidelines, Xu Wei said, "Yun Qing, since you don't like Xie Mingxiao, how about I warn the Xie family to tell Xie Mingxiao to stop bothering you?"
"That's it? Old man, Xie Mingxiao dares to bully me like this, shouldn't you be the one to blame Xie Po?"
Xu Wei reached out and patted his chest, sighing, "When you get old, you may have the will but not the strength. Why don't you ask Huo Chen if he can get rid of the thorns when it gets cold?"
Yun Qing glanced at Huo Chen and chuckled, "You're going to say how amazing he is again, aren't you?"
Seeing that she was about to explode again, Xu Wei quickly changed the subject, "You've been sitting for so long, your bones are stiff, come walk with me for a bit."
Yun Qing pouted and followed, and when she passed Huo Chen, she kicked him angrily.
Xu Wei suddenly turned around and saw this scene. He frowned and said, "Why are you hitting him? Is this how you usually bully Huo Chen?"
Yun Qing guiltily shrank her feet, then said confidently, "You don't understand, do you? Hitting someone is a sign of affection, scolding someone is a sign of love. This shows that Huo Chen and I have a good relationship."
As she spoke, she reached out and took Huo Chen's arm. "Huo Chen, don't you think so?"
Huo Chen lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over her fair hands. "Yes."
Xu Wei looked at them for a while, unsure whether he believed her or not, and then said earnestly, "Yun Qing, although I haven't officially adopted Huo Chen, he's practically your older brother. Don't be like a hedgehog all the time..."
Yun Qing quickly interrupted him, "I know, I know."
She tugged at Huo Chen's sleeve, "Let's go, bro~"
Huo Chen: ...
