215: Huo Qichen is showing off? Close the door and show his brother-in-law!
“Young Master Huo?”
“Help! Young Master Huo, please uphold justice for us.”
“Lin Xuan, Young Master Huo has spoken. Do you dare to disrespect him?”
“...”
Seeing Huo Qichen speak out righteously, the Wang Family's ancestors for three generations wept with joy, as if they had met their great savior.
In their view, the Huo Family, as a first-tier family in Modu, was far from something the current Su Corporation could contend with.
So, the Su Family had to give him face, whether they wanted to or not!!!
The guests present couldn't help but click their tongues in secret.
“What’s going on? Why would this Overbearing CEO stand up for the Wang Family? Do they have some connection?”
“Tsk tsk tsk... Speaking of which, didn't Young Master Huo once pursue Su Qingge? He was harshly rejected, though. Is he taking this opportunity for revenge?”
“The Su Corporation has developed rapidly recently. But after all, it was weak for a long time and hasn't fully risen yet, so it ultimately can't be compared with the long-established Huo Family.”
“Now that Young Master Huo has stepped forward, the Su Family will probably have to give him face and let the Wang Family off the hook. Otherwise, angering the Huo Family would be troublesome!”
“...”
On the high platform.
Looking at Huo Qichen, who had suddenly spoken, Su Qingge in the wheelchair was first startled, then immediately had her attention drawn.
Strange?
Why would this disgusting, low-class man also attend my Su Family's banquet?
I remember after I rejected him a while ago, I thought, with his arrogant personality, he would seize the opportunity to retaliate against my Su Family?
But later, things were calm, and Huo Qichen didn't make any extra retaliatory moves, which surprised me for quite some time... What is he trying to do by jumping out now? (._.)
Wait... he's stepping in to protect the Wang Family???
This means he has a connection with the Wang Family... But with the power of the Huo Family, how could he possibly look favorably upon a small family like the Wang Family, unless he wants to use them for something?
And the Wang Family tricked my aunt, attempting to overthrow the Su Corporation... Could it be that behind this... is also the real reason I became a vegetable... Heh heh... I knew it!
With Huo Qichen's personality, how could he be indifferent to my rejection?!
Perhaps his revenge plan has been quietly in motion for a long time... In this instant, Su Qingge's mind raced, connecting many dots.
She was already very good at thinking.
Otherwise, before falling into a coma, she wouldn't have been able to manage the huge Su Corporation so orderly all by herself.
It was only after she became a vegetable and fell into despair that she lost her reason and completely gave up independent thought.
After all, lying in bed unable to move, like a living dead person, what was the point of having many thoughts in her mind?
【Was I... schemed against?】
【Then was my grandfather's critical illness also part of a scheme?】
Even without finding concrete evidence yet.
But Su Qingge trusted her intuition very much.
Based on fragmented clues, she was almost 100% certain.
Behind all of this, there was definitely Huo Qichen's shadow... 【Unforgivable! Unforgivable!!!】
【I want revenge! The Huo Family has no reason to exist anymore... I want to destroy it, destroy it!!!】
Recalling everything she had experienced recently, a hint of ferocity flashed across Su Qingge's face.
Over the years, to exact revenge, she had made many preparations in secret, some things even her own grandfather didn't know about.
But she almost... almost failed completely... Fortunately, she had woken up now... But what if she hadn't woken up back then?
【Damn Huo Qichen, I'm going to kill you, I must... kill you...】
A sinister glint flashed in Su Qingge's eyes.
As her body recovered day by day, a certain dark side in her heart also gradually awakened... “Qingge, are you alright? Are you tired?”
“It's getting late, so I'll take you home to rest first!”
Noticing the abnormality of the young girl in the wheelchair, Lin Xuan quickly knelt beside her and asked softly.
His words, full of concern, soothed the anger and restlessness in Su Qingge's heart.
She stared blankly at the young man in front of her, then suddenly smiled slightly, shook her head, and indicated that she was fine.
With Lin Xuan by her side, for some reason, Su Qingge could always quickly calm her mood... “That's good. Phew~~ I'm relieved~~”
Gently pinching the young girl's delicate cheek, Lin Xuan returned a smile.
The two of them gazed at each other affectionately, exchanging glances, amidst the strange looks of the many guests.
Damn it!
Is this wave of dog food going to stuff us to death???
At this moment, Huo Qichen was the most annoyed.
Countless cold glints flashed in his eyes, and his chiseled face was filled with anger.
He never expected... Lin Xuan not only directly ignored his words but also dared to put on a show of “cheating in front of him” right to his face.
This was blatant disrespect to him!!!
Feeling his dignity offended, Huo Qichen once again suppressed his anger and spoke, but this time, his words were laced with threats... “It seems the Su Corporation has developed well recently! It's made some people completely arrogant, so much so that they even dare to ignore my, Huo Qichen's, words.”
“Is this looking down on me, or looking down on my Huo Family?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically, knowing that this matter today might not be easily resolved.
Unless Lin Xuan was sensible enough to immediately apologize to appease Huo Qichen's anger.
Then there would still be room for maneuver... Otherwise, if the Huo Family were truly provoked into action, the Su Corporation's current path to rise might face great obstacles...
“Lin Xuan, honestly do as Young Master Huo says! Don't be ungrateful!”
“Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Young Master Huo talking to you?”
“Do you dare to disrespect Young Master Huo?”
Seeing Huo Qichen stand up for them.
The Wang Fugui family immediately felt that the storm had passed, and they were back in business.
On the high platform.
Lin Xuan glanced sideways at Huo Qichen and said indifferently:
“Since Young Master Huo wants to stand up for the Wang Family, then please compensate my Su Corporation for its losses! Not much, just 10 billion.”
What?????
Huo Qichen's face twitched, and his sinister gaze glared coldly at Lin Xuan.
10 billion? This was clearly nonsense... He wasn't brain-damaged; how could he inexplicably take out 10 billion for the Wang Family...
“Heh heh... Mr. Lin is really asking for a lot! 10 billion? Even if I gave it to you, would you dare to take it?”
“I'm telling you! I will protect the Wang Family. You will have to give me this face, whether you like it or not!!!”
Huo Qichen's eyes were sharp as knives, and a cold sneer played on his lips.
His voice echoed like thunder throughout the banquet hall, making people shiver.
Listening to the Overbearing CEO's blatant threat, Lin Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips. He knew he didn't need to do anything; someone would naturally stand up for the Su Family.
Heh heh... Dare to bully me, boo hoo hoo~~~
I have a powerful backer too, okay?!
Close the door, unleash the big brother-in-law!!!
Sure enough.
Seeing his sister and brother-in-law being bullied, coupled with Mu Xiaowan's pregnancy... Su Fan, who was already unhappy, finally couldn't help but retort.
He raised his eyes slightly, and his indifferent voice spread throughout the hall.
“Face? Are you sure Huo Qichen's face is worth 10 billion?”
“Is your face inlaid with gold?”
“Take some time to pee and look in the mirror, see if that face of yours deserves anyone to give you face?”
The banquet hall had been silent, the guests all cowering in fear of the Huo Family.
As soon as Su Fan spoke, he immediately caught everyone's attention, leaving them stunned.
Oh crap?! What's going on???
Who is this guy? Is he an idiot?
At a time like this, he actually dares to jump out and speak for the Su Family?
And his tone is full of sarcasm, doesn't he fear Young Master Huo's wrath???
On the high platform.
Su Qingge froze for a moment.
She had no idea... that the person who would stand up and speak for the Su Family would be Su Fan.
Isn't this kid Ke Xin's bodyguard?
Just a mere bodyguard, doesn't he fear Huo Qichen's retaliation?
And why is he here tonight, not by Ke Xin's side?
And the person next to him is... Han Xinqiao?
... 【The family businesses of the Han Family and the Huo Family mainly focus on real estate.】
【The two sides occasionally overlap in business projects, and there have been constant frictions over the years, so the two families do not get along well...】
【So, Su Fan stepping forward this time, was it actually at Han Xinqiao's instigation?】
【But this woman, doesn't she hold some inexplicable hostility towards me? She shouldn't be standing up for me!】
【After all, provoking Huo Qichen for no reason brings no benefit to her Han Family?!】
... Su Qingge frowned slightly, somewhat unable to understand the reason for Su Fan's outburst, and decided to wait and see.
In fact, not to mention her confusion... almost everyone present, except Lin Xuan, was in a state of bewilderment.
But one thing they knew clearly was that anyone who dared to publicly disrespect Huo Qichen like this, given his personality, would definitely not be let off easily.
“How dare you! What are you?”
“Are you tired of living! How dare you speak disrespectfully to Young Master Huo?!”
“Immediately kneel down and crawl over, kowtow and apologize to Young Master Huo. Perhaps Young Master Huo, being a magnanimous man, will spare your dog life.”
“...”
The Wang Fugui family was the first to show their loyalty, pointing at Su Fan's nose and cursing.
Their hope of turning the tables now rested entirely on Huo Qichen, so they naturally supported him wholeheartedly.
Facing the disdainful and playful gazes of those around him.
Su Fan's face was expressionless, and not a single emotion arose in his heart.
Over the years, he had experienced countless forms of doubt and ridicule.
Anyway, in the end, these ants would always turn into shocked exclamations, getting severely slapped in the face by him; he was already used to it...
And at this moment!
Huo Qichen's face had long since become as dark as night.
It had been a long time since he had been so publicly humiliated.
As the saying goes!
When a Overlord (Overlord) is enraged, blood splatters five paces.
Coupled with the grudge he had formed with Su Fan earlier, he truly harbored murderous intent towards Su Fan.
If it weren't in broad daylight, he would have already had Uncle Zhou make a move.
“Su Fan, do you still remember the scene when we first met at the Su Family?”
“At that time, I told you...”
“People should have self-awareness! Because showing off is a strong person's capriciousness, and it's also a good show of a useless person's self-destruction.”
“Now your provocation... has touched my bottom line. I have been provoked by you. You wouldn't think... you are the strong person who can withstand my wrath, would you?”
“If you now swear to serve me as your master, using your entire life to atone for your disrespect today. Then I can reluctantly let you off!”
“...”
Huo Qichen's expression was stern, and his face was serious.
Hiss~~
His cold tone made everyone present gasp, and they all cast sympathetic glances at Su Fan.
This arrogant fellow's life was ruined.
Either he would be a slave for life, or he would suffer a revenge worse than death.
No matter what he chose, he would have no future.
But who would have thought... Huo Qichen's threat not only didn't scare Su Fan, but instead made him suddenly burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha...”
“Since you brought up what was said that day, then you should also remember my answer...”
“Showing off indeed requires capital, but I never lack it. Because my capital for showing off comes from your inferior strength.”
“A frog at the bottom of a well will never know that there are heavens beyond the sky and people beyond people.”
“Everything you rely on, in my eyes, is nothing but a bunch of worthless chickens and dogs, unable to withstand a single blow.”
“I also said back then... if you dare to provoke me again, the Huo Family will be removed from Modu starting that day, I said it!”
“So the Huo Family has no reason to exist. I'm very curious, what kind of expression will you show when you lose the family you are so proud of?”
“I'm really... very curious! Heh heh...”
Su Fan was grinning on the surface, but his smile was extremely cold.
He genuinely looked down on a useless person like Huo Qichen, who would be nothing without his family.
Since his confidence all came from the Huo Family, then he would destroy the Huo Family, and he imagined the other party's expression at that time would be particularly interesting... The bride price was discussed, about 90,000 yuan, went to the bank and they said it couldn't be withdrawn without an appointment, so I made an appointment to get the money on Monday.
I borrowed a little from Meituan, just enough to make up 100,000 yuan, planning to pay it back in three months ε=(´ο`*))) Alas... A piece of advice for everyone, try to earn more money and save more, so you can be prepared for unexpected needs.
Although everyone online is now advocating for 'lying flat' and 'giving up,' we are all ordinary people; if we truly lie flat, this life will be over.
That being said, change is also quite difficult, but effort is always better than truly giving up.
Don't ever follow my example, a failed life.
Every night before bed, I'm full of ambition, but during the day, I continuously muddle through... I'm speechless at myself, in one word, absolute!!!
