Ch 313: Owed in the Previous Life

“Big Brother, do you know her?” Huo Xingchen found it strange. “Is she a business partner?”

Huo Xingye carried the person and strode out.

Gu Qingyin also curiously looked at her in his arms. Oh, she’s quite the beauty.

Taking advantage of the chaos, when no one noticed him, the man tried to sneak away quietly. As soon as he turned around, Weng Yun stared at him.

“This gentleman,” Weng Yun said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “isn’t it necessary to verify your identity now?”

The man paused, cursing his bad luck. He turned around and revealed a fawning smile, “If I had known you knew President Huo, I wouldn’t have stopped you.”

At that time, Huo Xingye had already left with Qin Yuexi. Huo Xingchen stepped forward, “Who are you?”

The man eagerly extended his hand, “I am the manager of the Qin Corporation’s operations department. My name is Zhong Zihao, and my father is Zhong Junjie, a shareholder of the Qin Corporation.”

Huo Xingchen couldn’t help but chuckle, “Your self-introduction is interesting and original.”

Zhong Zihao looked a little uncomfortable, but he didn’t dare show it. He could only smile obsequiously, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”

How could Huo Xingchen let him go so easily? “Don’t rush, let’s chat for a while.”

Zhong Zihao could only nod bitterly, “Okay.”

“What’s your relationship with Qin Yuexi?” Huo Xingchen asked curiously, “Just the two of you out for dinner alone? Is it a date?”

Zhong Zihao quickly waved his hand, “We’re talking about serious business! She wants my dad to support her as an executive director. You should also know the current situation of the Qin Corporation. Qin Yuexi’s situation is not very good, so we came out to talk.”

“Before you could talk it over, you got her drunk,” Weng Yun said coolly. “If I hadn’t encountered this, where were you planning to take her?”

They are all adults, a single man and woman, and she is asking for his help. No one would believe that Zhong Zihao wouldn’t take advantage of the situation and do something.

Zhong Zihao was sweating profusely and quickly explained, “I really didn’t plan to do anything! In the past, Qin Yuexi was too proud and didn’t even look at me. It’s not easy for her to ask me for help, so can’t I act a little arrogant? I… I’d at most take advantage of her, I really don’t have the guts to do anything else!”

Even if Qin Yuexi’s father is in a coma, he is still the largest shareholder of the Qin Family, if this really blows up, he would be the one in trouble.

Huo Xingchen looked down on this kind of person the most, and immediately scoffed, not willing to say another word to him.

Weng Yun added, “I will tell Qin Yuexi about what happened tonight truthfully.”

Zhong Zihao’s expression changed, but he didn’t say anything. Given Qin Yuexi’s current situation, and the fact that he didn’t really do anything to her, the best way for Qin Yuexi to handle this, if she’s not stupid, is to give it a cold shoulder, ignore it, and pretend it never happened.

After the Huo Family Member left, Zhong Zihao returned to the Yage, drank all the remaining wine, and felt more and more suffocated. He called someone to send to the villa to vent his anger.

On the other side, Huo Xingye didn’t plan to care about Qin Yuexi after putting her in the back seat of the car, but unexpectedly, Qin Yuexi, who had been sleeping quite peacefully, suddenly started acting crazy from the alcohol.

Qin Yuexi grabbed Huo Xingye’s neck, pressed her whole body against him, and hit and scolded him, “You dog of a man! How dare you take advantage of me, I’ll beat you to death!”

Huo Xingye had only been hit by his Mother his whole life. After the shock, he just wanted to get rid of her entanglement as soon as possible, but this woman was surprisingly strong after drinking, and he didn’t want to hurt her, so he couldn’t break free for a while.

When Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing came out, they saw Huo Xingye and Qin Yuexi in the back seat of the SUV, in a position that was hard to describe, and they could vaguely hear Qin Yuexi’s scolding, “Scumbag! Shameless!… I’d rather look at a dog than look at you…”

Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunzheng exchanged glances, their expressions very complicated, “Is our son’s luck that bad?”

Huo Yunzheng took a different approach, “Maybe Qin Yuexi’s taste is unique.”

Huo Xingchen covered his eyes, openly peeking through his fingers, and joked, “Big Brother, although it’s dark now, this is still a public place, there’s no need to be so impatient.” After a pause, he asked, “Who was it that sneered at love before?”

Weng Yun tugged at Huo Xingchen, telling him to restrain himself and not be too smug.

Huo Xingye’s head was completely hugged by Qin Yuexi. As soon as he moved, Qin Yuexi strangled his neck to death. Huo Xingye suspected that he owed Qin Yuexi several hundred million in his previous life and hadn’t paid it back, so he had to lose so much face on her in this life.

“Come over and help!” Huo Xingye said in a muffled voice. The faint fragrance from Qin Yuexi rushed into his nose, and he didn’t dare to breathe too heavily.

The space inside the car was limited. Huo Xingchen entered from the passenger seat to help Huo Xingye control the drunken Qin Yuexi.

The restraint on Huo Xingye’s neck loosened, and he subconsciously took a deep breath. A faint fragrance rushed into his nasal cavity, and his breath stagnated. Before he could react, his neck tightened again, and then soft, warm lips pressed against him.

“Holy crap!” Huo Xingchen widened his eyes in shock and quickly fixed Qin Yuexi’s arms. This time, he waited until Huo Xingye was completely out of the car before letting go and getting out of the car as well.

Huo Xingye stood by the car, staring at him with a dark expression, as if he was about to jump up and beat him up at any moment. Even the bright red lipstick mark on the corner of his lips couldn’t neutralize his hostility.

Huo Xingchen shrank behind Weng Yun in fear, and then leaned out cheekily, pointing to his lips, “Big Brother, wipe off the lipstick mark.”

Huo Xingye’s expression froze. He raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his lips. When he looked down, the red on his hand was dazzling.

Weng Yun took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to him.

Huo Xingye took it, thanked her, and wiped his lips clean.

Gu Qingyin watched the whole process and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Son, you and Miss Qin…”

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Xingye hurriedly denied, “Ordinary business relationship, not even friends.”

Gu Qingyin looked sympathetic, “Then you should try harder. As the eldest brother, you are too far behind in matters of life. Your two younger brothers are almost settled down.”

“Huh?” Huo Xingchen leaned over and asked, “My second brother is in love?”

Gu Qingyin nodded with a smile, “She’s a good girl. After they finish filming, we’ll go back to the Old House for a meal together.”

Huo Xingchen pressed, “My second sister-in-law is an actor? In the same production crew as my second brother? Why didn’t I see her when I went last time? Who is she? Are there any photos?”

“Her name is Xie Xinyi, go search for it yourself.” Gu Qingyin reminded, “But don’t believe everything you see online. Your father and I have met her. The little girl has had a bit of a hard time on her own.”

Huo Xingchen nodded repeatedly, pulling Weng Yun to search for Xie Xinyi’s photos.

Huo Xingye pinched his eyebrows and sighed, “Let’s go home.”

Huo Yunzheng put his arm around Gu Qingyin’s shoulders, “Your Mother and I came by car, we’ll leave first. Take care of the one in the car yourself, show some gentlemanly manners.”

Huo Xingye: “…Got it.”

He was a little worried. Renting a room wasn’t an option, and sending her back, he didn’t know where Qin Yuexi lived. He couldn’t bring her home, could he?
