“Pfft!”

Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, quickly coughing lightly to suppress his laughter.

Otherwise, he’d miss out on the good show coming up. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Wanwan’s eyes twitched, though…

Despite the crude phrasing, the logic seemed sound.

When it came to Xing Yuyun, a jerk who can’t control himself, she believed her husband was completely right!

Xing Yuyun’s pupils contracted swiftly, as if he had been slapped in public, his face turning bright red.

After the extreme humiliation came unease and trepidation.

Ever since Huo Jingshen returned home to take over Huo Yuan’s responsibilities, he acted ruthlessly, with indifference and vigorous reforms, almost to the point of disregarding all relationships.

Not only were the shares of the Huo family’s uncles and aunts squeezed, but even Siqing’s small plan to get into the design department was rejected.

The position of general manager was offered to him by Huo Yuanshan in the past, but now the old man had handed full power to Huo Jingshen, and he didn’t care about anything anymore.

If Huo Jingshen held a grudge against him…

However, Xing Yuyun affirmed himself for his serious attitude towards work, having fulfilled his responsibilities whole-heartedly and with sincerity.

Keeping this in mind, he lifted his head, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, “Brother, I was wrong tonight. I drank too much and got a bit carried away, I apologize to you and hope you can be fair, addressing each issue on its

merits.”

The moment these words were spoken, Chu Xiuhuang gave a click of his

tongue.

Should they praise this young man for his spirit?

Or scold him for being an idiot?

Wasn’t he indirectly criticizing Huo Jingshen for being biased and vengeful?

Oh, dear, Huo Jingshen hadn’t even hinted about firing him, yet here Xing Yuyun was, rushing to stick his neck out, digging a hole for himself, having no idea what he was getting into.

As expected.

“As the general manager of the marketing department of Huo Yuan Real Estate, getting drunk in a club the day after his honeymoon, and taking advantage of his drunken stupor to leave the associates behind in the VIP room and harass female customers outside the women’s restroom.”

Huo Jingshen spoke slowly, calmly, and each word made Xing Yuyun’s heart throb.

It almost felt like the temperature of the corridor’s air conditioning was too low. Chills swept over his back, making his spine shuddering non-stop.

Huo Jingshen’s voice continued, “If this matter were to be taken to the police station and then reported in the newspapers, I wonder what our parents would think?”

Chu Xiuhuang had already taken out his phone, squinting his eyes as he mischievously asked, “Should I call the authorities?

Huo Jingshen didn’t reply.

Leaning slightly, he looked at the giggly girl beside him, his black eyes narrowing instantly, “Come here.”

Su Wanwan was startled by his sudden call.

Seeing his unwavering gaze on her, she blinked and obediently walked over.

Just as she reached him, her hand was caught.

Su Wanwan felt a squeeze on her hand, she lost her balance instantaneously, and stumbled forward.

“Falling into my arms?” Huo Jingshen raised his arm to wrap around her, effortlessly holding her, “Admitting your mistake? Trying to be sweet?”

Su Wanwan’s facial muscles twitched.

“Damn!” Chu Xiuhuang flicked away the cigarette butt, grinding it into the ground, sounding impatient, “Quit the lovey-dovey act in front of me, will you?”

The sight of couples showing affection was irritating, it made his teeth ache! Huo Jingshen didn’t look at him, he pulled Su Wanwan and began to walk away.

“What about your cousin?” Chu Xiuhuang asked.

Huo Jingshen didn’t lookback, “Have someone throw him out.”

Chu Xiuhuang didn’t beat around the bush, quickly dialing a number, “Women’s restroom on the sixth floor, we need more guys.

A few seconds after he finished speaking, several tall and strong men in black walked over, clearly not ordinary club staff.

Xing Yuyun felt anxious, yet held his ground and questioned, “Mr. Chu, what do you mean by this?”

“Oh, now you dare to yell in front of me? Just now, weren’t you acting like a coward?” Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrows teasingly, his long and narrow phoenix eyes playful and wicked.

“I can leave by myself. No need for Mr. Chu to trouble yourself!” Xing Yuyun’s expression was very suffocating. However, there was a hint of fear in his heart for the notorious playboy in Nancheng.

Soon after, he added, “Brother misunderstood just now, but this has nothing to do with Mr. Chu, right?”

“You’re harassing my customers, as the boss of this place, and you say it’s none of my business?” Chu Xiuhuang scolded lightly, too lazy to waste any more words, and gave a direct order, “Take him to the police station, get some reporters while you’re at it, and say…

He paused, thin lips curling into a smile, “The cavalry of the Xing family harassed a minor girl while drunk, so he got thrashed.”

As he spoke, several men in black suits have already stepped forward to seize Xing Yuyun.

“Mister Chu, you may be the boss here, but I am also a customer here. I paid to be here and if you dare…uh!”

Xing Yuyun didn’t finish speaking before a punch landed solidly in his stomach.

This punch was not held back in the slightest, hitting him so hard that he doubled over, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Pulling back his fist, Chu Xiuhuang shook his hand as if swatting away a fly, his tone arrogant and mocking, “What I hate the most is being threatened. And you dare to call yourself a customer, do you think you’re worthy?”

With these words, another bodyguard’s fist landed on Xing Yuyun’s face at Chu Xiuhuang’s signal.

Since the guard was a trained martial artist and had Chu Xiuhuang’s backing, Xing Yuyun only heard a loud “thump,” as he felt his jawbone seemed to be shattered, and his mouth was quickly filled with a strong rusty taste, seeing stars before his eyes.

In a daze, he heard Chu Xiuhuang’s arrogant voice ringing once again, “You can sue me if you like. I’ll make sure you’ll suffer!”

Then, the corridor was filled with the sound of fists hitting flesh and muffled groans of pain.

Whenever a customer tried to use the restroom, they were quickly stopped by a waitress.

“I’m sorry, the restroom on the sixth floor is out of service, please use the other floors.”

Meanwhile, Huo Jingshen took Su Wanwan directly to the elevator, went straight down to the first floor, and then led her out of the club’s doors.

Su Wanwan couldn’t resist a glance at him. He looked grim and stern, as if someone owed him millions and didn’t pay him back.

She coughed twice and asked in a weak voice, “Are we going home?”

Huo Jingshen suddenly stopped, tightly pressing his lips together. His deep dark eyes fixed on her, not saying a word.

Feeling inexplicably guilty under his gaze, Su Wanwan thought: why the hell am I feeling guilty? I haven’t cheated on him.

Before she could speak, the car door opened with a crisp sound.

Huo Jingshen let go of her hand.

Su Wanwan stood there a second longer before she followed him into the car.

Once they were in the car, Huo Jingshen’s voice resonated, “Did you forget my advice from last time?”

Su Wanwan paused, “What advice?”

“Don’t wear shorts that short.”

Speaking these words, his gaze fell on her legs.

Denim shorts. Ultra-short ones.

This girl was naturally fair-skinned. Coupled with her good skin, smooth and delicate without a hint of pores, her legs were straight and slender, absolutely top-notch.

With utmost seriousness, Su Wanwan contested, “They’re shorts, they’re meant to be short! This is the trend!”

Indeed, a thirty-year-old man has no idea about fashion trends. Typical.

Fuddy-duddy.

Huo Jingshen’s eyes were indifferent, “You’re not allowed to wear them again, especially when you’re outside.”

“Damn it!” Su Wanwan was furious, swearing, “You’re meddling way too much! Even what I wear is your business? My dad never controlled me this much!”

“You can consider me as your dad.”

Unable to control the twitch at the corner of her mouth, Su Wanwan shook with anger, “Shameless!”

“in any case, no wearing them outside.” Huo Jingshen laid down his final edict.

“You can’t tell me what to do!”

Huo Jingshen’s eyes narrowed, his tone soothing but nonetheless bearing warnings, “Don’t force me to repeat myself. Also…”

He spoke out each word, “About what just happened, how do you plan to explain it?”

Su Wanwan was taken aback, “Explain what?”

“Aren’t you aware that you’re a married woman?” Huo Jingshen said with an air of righteousness, “In front of so many people, sneaking around with another man behind your husband’s back, do you think that’s fair to your husband?” “I wasn’t sneaking around, how was I to know I’d run into him here!” Su Wanwan’s eyes widened, all flustered, “And for your information, you were the one who brought me here, I haven’t blamed you yet.. Who told you to come out so early? I hadn’t even finished beating that scumbag!”
