Chapter 85 - Thorn In His Side

n

n

n

n“That’s enough!”

n

nElder Huo roared angrily and interrupted the two of them.

n

n“It’s up to you.” He closed his eyes and sighed.

n

nHuo Chuan was right. Those things were the truth.

n

nNow, he could only believe in his grandson’s ability.

n

n“Huo Qing, you know how grandpa lost his jade ring. If I ever find out that you’re gambling again, or if you cause trouble in front of Yun Qing again, don’t even think about having pocket money anymore. I’ll cut off all your bank cards.

n

n“After that, you’ll be on your own.”

n

nAfter settling Elder Huo’s matter, Huo Chuan looked at Huo Qing coldly.

n

nHe felt embarrassed for his sister.

n

n“Brother, I…”

n

nHuo Qing was afraid of Huo Chuan, so she turned around and grabbed Sun Lan’s hand. Her pleading eyes were fixed on her mother. “Mom…”

n

n“Mom, you were an influence to Huo Qing. Stop indulging her. Otherwise, I get heavy-handed.”

n

nSun Lan was afraid of her son. Besides, she had done a lot of wrong things, so it was too late for her to feel guilty. With Huo Chuan’s threat, Sun Lan did not dare to breathe loudly.

n

nAfter warning them, Huo Chuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

n

n“Huo Chuan.” Just as Huo Chuan was about to turn around and go back to his room, Elder Huo called out to him, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. It doesn’t matter which woman you are close to, but that Bai Ting, you’d better not have any more connections with her.

n

n“Although I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with her, the Yun family is currently furious. She is a thorn in the Yun family’s side. Don’t ruin the relationship between the Yun family and us because of her.”

n

nElder Huo was still able to see the big picture. He knew that the relationship between the Huo family and the Yun family could not be ruined.

n

nNow that the Yun family had given them some leeway, it meant that there was still a chance to repair the relationship.

n

nHuo Chuan did not answer. He only stopped for a moment before continuing on his way.

n

nOnce he reached the study, Huo Chuan immediately called Li Yi and began to prepare the public relations document to be released the next day.

n

nThe next morning, Yun Qing drove to the Yun Corporation in a great mood.

n

nThings were different now.

n

nIn the past, there were still people gossiping in the corporation, but now, no one dared to provoke her.

n

nYun Qing hummed a tune as she got out of her Bentley and walked towards the elevator.

n

nSuddenly, a car with high-beams turned and sped towards Yun Qing.

n

nThe lights were so bright that Yun Qing’s eyes hurt. Before she could react, a tall figure pounced on her.

n

nIn the man’s arms, Yun Qing rolled two or three times and pressed the man under her.

n

nYun Qing was still in shock. When she calmed herself down, she realized that the man under her was Huo Chuan.

n

nHuo Chuan was still hugging her. His arms were extremely warm.

n

nHis usually calm eyes had a rare trace of nervousness and panic in them. In his eyes, Yun Qing could even see her own reflection.

n

n“Are you hurt?”

n

nHuo Chuan asked in a low and hoarse voice.

n

nOnly then did Yun Qing snap back to her senses and put away the ripples in her heart. She struggled out of Huo Chuan’s embrace and stood up, saying, “No, thank you.”

n

nHuo Chuan also got up and patted the dust off his suit. He looked in the direction of the car and frowned.

n

n“Why are you here?” Yun Qing was a little puzzled — why did Huo Chuan come to the Yun Corporation so early in the morning?

n

nHuo Chuan turned to Yun Qing and said, “I’m here to apologize to you.”

n

n“I’m here to apologize to you on behalf of the Huo family. Also, I’ve asked someone to prepare an apology letter. It will be released soon.”

n

nYun Qing was stunned. The Huo family actually relented this time?

n

n“It’s in the name of the Huo family corporation, not me.”

n

nHuo Chuan added, trying to make Yun Qing feel at ease.

n

n“I didn’t expect Elder Huo to be willing to apologize.” Yun Qing sneered. “Alright, I’m going to work. You should be going to work too, right? I won’t keep you company.”

n

nWith that, Yun Qing turned around and left.

n

n“Yun Qing!”

n

nHuo Chuan hurriedly called out to her.

n

nYun Qing stopped in her tracks, but did not turn back.

n

n“There might be something wrong with the car that hit you just now. Be careful.”

n

nHuo Chuan had witnessed the incident as soon as he got out of the car. He still had a lingering fear in his heart.

n

nIf he had not been there, Yun Qing would most likely have been hit by the car.

n

nYun Qing was shocked, but she only said, “Thank you for telling me this.”
