635: Huo Qichen and Tang Rou's secret meeting. [Thanks to Zhuge Zhuifeng for his company]

Coffee shop, second floor.

Inside a private room.

"You ungrateful bastards, just you wait!"

"Sooner or later, I will make sure every single one of you dies a horrible death!!!"

"And Lin Corporation, Su Family, do you really think you've won?"

"Hmph! What I can't have, you won't get either! I'll just drag you all to hell with me!!!"

"..."

Huo Qichen's face was contorted with rage as he cursed furiously in his heart.

After suffering major blows like being paralyzed, making critical mistakes, enduring humiliation from Ma Yingzhe and others, and being betrayed by his loved ones, friends, and family... the Overbearing CEO's mentality (mindset) had long since become unbalanced, leaving only endless resentment.

He no longer hoped to rise again.

Now, all he could think about was how to get revenge and drag everyone down with him... He absolutely could not allow a world where only he suffered to come to pass... Click—

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.

A woman entered, wearing a black hat, black mask, and black sunglasses, completely covered as if a celebrity trying to avoid being recognized... The moment Huo Qichen saw her, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a look of resentment emerged.

Tang Rou!

This damned woman!

She was useless and only caused trouble!!!

If she hadn't given him faulty intelligence, how could he, the dignified Young Master of the Huo Family, have fallen to such a tragic state???

If he weren't unable to move, and if she didn't still have some use... Huo Qichen would have probably already jumped up and strangled her to death!!!!!

... "Xiao Rou, you're here."

"Come sit, have you had dinner yet?"

"The menu is on the table, what would you like to eat?"

"..."

Seeing Tang Rou sit opposite him, Huo Qichen composed himself and tried to speak in a gentle, caring tone.

He was a lone wolf now.

Tang Rou was the only person he could rely on, so he naturally had to try his best to stay on good terms with her... "I have no appetite, I don't want to eat."

"Don't waste time, tell me why you asked me out..."

"Also, don't contact me again unless it's important."

"I don't want my family to know we've had private interactions; it will affect their perception of me."

"..."

Tang Rou frowned, her tone full of aloofness.

Looking at the man with the crooked mouth and twisted face opposite her, only disgust and disdain remained.

Originally, her impression of Huo Qichen had been quite good.

He was a famous Overbearing CEO in Modu, the future heir of the Huo Family, with a promising future.

Coupled with his looks and demeanor, which perfectly matched her aesthetic, he was a genuine top-tier 'tall, rich, and handsome' individual.

If she could truly secretly commit to him, it would be a beautiful story.

It was precisely for this reason that she had secretly contacted Huo Qichen behind the Tang Family's back, pursued him passionately, and occasionally provided him with some intelligence.

She had thought that if things developed normally... sooner or later, she would become the Young Mistress of the Huo Family, second only to one person, above tens of thousands.

Even if she lost the protection of the Tang Family one day, she could still live a life of luxury.

Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.

Who could have imagined that the переменная (variable/unexpected change) would come so quickly?

Huo Qichen first contracted an incurable disease, then repeatedly made foolish decisions in business.

Now, he had even been kicked out of the Huo Family, becoming a penniless, universally despised good-for-nothing... The current Overbearing CEO was completely a burden.

Tang Rou naturally wouldn't give him a good look; she wished he would just disappear from her sight.

To be honest, if she weren't worried that the Overbearing CEO held evidence of her "treachery" over the years.

Tang Rou wouldn't even have shown up for this meeting today... "Xiao Rou, what's wrong?"

"Why are you suddenly so cold to me? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Is it because you're too worried about me, causing irregular menstruation? Did your period come early?"

"Don't worry! What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!!!"

"..."

Huo Qichen spoke softly, trying his best to portray himself as a gentle and considerate warm man.

He didn't notice... Tang Rou's increasingly impatient gaze.

Instead, he was secretly pleased, believing that Tang Rou cared about him too much and resented him for taking so long to ask her to meet after his troubles.

He became agitated and spoke out of turn... "As the saying goes: a blessing in disguise."

"Xiao Rou, I truly understand now. In this world, only you are sincere towards me."

"Everyone else only treated me differently and bowed to me because of my former status as the Young Master of the Huo Family."

"When I lost that halo, they all revealed their ugly faces, utterly disgusting."

"Only you have remained by my side, steadfast throughout."

... "Xiao Rou, (╥╯^╰╥) I'm so touched!"

"Although I've lost the whole world, I've gained true love, a girl who will stand by me through thick and thin, it's worth it!!!"

"Xiao Rou, I was blind before and didn't appreciate you."

"Thankfully, it's not too late. Now I'm willing to accept your confession, let's be together!"

"I want to hold your hand, grow old with you, and walk together towards a happy future."

"..."

Because Tang Rou knew that most men dislike scheming women and prefer those who are pure and kind.

Therefore, in front of Huo Qichen, she often played the role of a naive, sweet, and love-struck girl.

This led Huo Qichen to misunderstand, and he presumptuously treated Tang Rou as an "easily deceived" young girl.

He thought that as long as he extended an olive branch, Tang Rou would surely be overjoyed, devoted to him, and love him to death... Thinking of this.

Huo Qichen performed even more vigorously, pouring out all sorts of sweet nothings and overly affectionate words.

When he spoke of his deep feelings, he even reddened his eyes and tried to squeeze out two tears of emotion. (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Little did he know, with his current crooked mouth and twisted face, putting on such a deeply affectionate pose.

Not only did it fail to move anyone, but it was also extremely disgusting.

Tang Rou felt goosebumps all over her body and almost couldn't help but vomit.

Damn it!

Why didn't I notice before that this guy was so lewd and disgusting?!!!

That damned green tea man, where did his former aloofness and reserve go?

Hmph!

The me of the past, you ignored.

The me of today, you can't reach.

Tang Rou sneered in her heart, seeing right through him.

She had been feigning "fragile pitifulness" for eighteen years; her acting skills were already superb.

How could she be fooled by this "young punk" Huo Qichen???

... Tomato released its annual creation report, I'm filled with emotion.

My book actually dragged on for a year, I'm so done with myself. (ΩДΩ)

Didn't expect that Guangdong people are the most numerous, I'm also from Guangdong.

Thanks to brother [Zhuge Zhuifeng], I kneel to you, an old acquaintance, are you also from Guangdong?
