The night fell quietly.

The aunts on the square had already occupied the landform and started the night activities.

Gradually, a stream of people gushed out from the office building and scattered in all directions to the subway, bus, and pedestrian street, enjoying the rare leisure time after a day of helpless work.

In the entertainment venues, there were scenes of pleasure-seeking, and the singing sound faintly spreaded out to the streets.

In the center of the noisy city, Qianlong Club forcibly compartmentalized into a secluded wall.

With the theme of high luxury, it became a private club for the upper-class and wealthy people.

There are all kinds of things that should be or shouldn’t be.

In the private room of Qianlong Club, there was a strong smell of wine. Seven or eight men in suits and leather shoes were accompanied by “Princesses”, and even hugged one on each side.

Only Huo Suicheng sat alone, showing no interest in those young and beautiful “Princesses”.

He never liked this kind of occasion. Since taking over Huo Group, he wouldn’t come to this kind of occasion when he could avoid it, but he came today not because of his own company’s project, but as a middleman to accompany Jiang Zhi.

The people present were all famous and promising figures. They exchanged glasses on the table and the negotiations were all good but it wasn’t very interesting. When arrived at the club, the truth was revealed, the contract and some ulterior secrets could only be signed under the catalysis of alcohol and women. Huo Suicheng had seen such a scene for a long time.

Good foods, good drinks, and play hard until it was time to end it.

“Mr. Jiang, I wanted to cooperate with you in the past, but I haven’t had a chance. Today, thanks to Mr. Huo introducing us, I can finally get to know you,” said a middle-aged drunk man, with a glass in one hand and a beautiful little girl in the other. It’s obvious that today’s reception was very suitable for him. “I’ve heard about East Asia before, Jiǎng Group’s strength and Mr. Jiang’s talent, I believe this project will not be bad! “#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

After speaking, the euphoria from drinking hit him. He put down his glass, turned over to look at his assistant who sat on the corner of the sofa, “Where’s the contract?

The assistant hurriedly took the contract and pen.

The drunken man put his arms around the beautiful woman and put the contract on the coffee table to sign the contract.

“It is also my honor to cooperate with Mr. Chen. It is a pleasant cooperation.” Jiang Zhi accepted the contract and said the business polite words.

“Let’s enjoy our cooperation.”

A group of people waited to leave after saying these “four-words” with their arms around the pretty girls.

The private room was instantly empty.

Jiang Zhi poured himself a glass of wine and offered a toast to Huo Suicheng. “Thank you very much today.”

Huo Suicheng received it, raised his head to take a sip, and asked him, “How did you decide to cooperate with them in the East Asia project?”

Jiang Zhi sighed and rubbed his eyebrows, obviously there was a hint of some embarrassment. “You should have received the news. Jiang Xuan has returned.”

Huo Suicheng knew some matters in the Jiang family.

When Jiang Zhi was 25 years old, he was completely paralyzed in a car accident. The third son of the Jiang family took over his company. As a result, it was a mess. Not only did the company go bankrupt, but he almost lost the Jiang family.

Two years later, Jiang Zhi recovered from his health condition and filled the loopholes with a quick turn of the defeat. He took over the Jiang family, and drove the third son of the Jiang family abroad.

Jiang Xuan is the third son of the Jiang family who is a legend but has no business sense.

He was driven out of the country three years ago, and they thought he would  settle down abroad, but now he has come back.

“Are you still worried about him?”#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

“I’m not worried about him, but you’ve seen it recently. If I’m not desperate, I won’t ask you to help me settle and cooperate with them in the East Asia project. I originally planned to develop this project independently, but Jiang Xuan returned to China, and he joined the Shenghe company, which is very popular recently, and Wen Yang is not a good person.”

“Wen Yang?” Huo Suicheng had never heard of this name.

“A newcomer who didn’t know where he came from, and very young, but he has the methods and luck. He has swallowed a lot of projects in the past six months. Competing with him will not end well.”

“Even if he has methods, with your ability and the company’s inside information, is it hard to cope with it?”

“One Jiang Xuan, one Wen Yang, plus Shenghe company, which just emerged recently, I surely can cope with it. But you should have heard that Shenghe is controlled by Jiāng Group, and Jiang Huai, the boss of Jiāng Group, is ambitious. You know, two years ago, he was purchasing the company wantonly in an attempt to integrate the industry. Well said, it’s industrial integration. In fact, it’s about monopolizing the industry market and making industry rules. In the past two years, this industry has been almost tossed by him. “#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

“Behind Jiang Xuan and Wen Yang, there is Jiang Huai who is supporting them.” At this point, Jiang Zhi sighed, “Some of our company’s industries have something to do with the Jiāng Group, so they have become eyesore. They have been keeping an eye on me recently.”

“Jiang Huai wants to buy your company?”

“I don’t know if he means that yet at the moment, but I think some of my industries are targeted by him. I don’t know how many petty tricks he’s made. Jiang Xuan also wants to take this opportunity to avenge.”

Huo Suicheng frowned.

Obviously, Jianghuai was not an easy man to deal with.

The Jiāng Group is wealthy, and Jiang Huai is a lunatic. In recent years, he has expanded a lot. If he really wanted to buy Jiǎng Group, Jiang Zhi would be in big trouble.

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhi kept on being hesitant about one thing and said, “There’s another thing I just learned recently. You should know who Jiang Xuan’s wife is, don’t you?”

“Xiaoxiao’s mother.”

Jiang Zhi was a bit surprised, “You know?”

“I met him when I brought Xiaoxiao there.”

“You even brought Xiaoxiao to meet her mother?”

“Xiaoxiao wanted to meet her, and I don’t have any reason to stop her.”

Jiang Zhi nodded, “That’s true, then Xiaoxiao, she…”

 

“She’s fine.” Huo Suicheng looked at the time, it was late. He put down his glass and got up. “It’s late. I’m going first.”

“I’ll send you.”

The two walked out side by side.

Pushing open the door, they came upon the dimly-lit corridor and saw two people come over. A man and a woman lowered their heads to speak, and they sounded very young.

“Mr. Jiang, I didn’t expect to meet you in such a place.”

Two meters away, both the man and woman stopped first, and the young man took the lead in greeting Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi drank a bit, and his vision was dim, so his front was a bit blurry. He narrowed his eyes slightly to see the person who came. “Mr. Wen, what a fate.”

“I was also surprised, this is…”

Huo Suicheng looked at the young man in front of him and guessed that this should be Wen Yang that Jiang Zhi and him mentioned in the private room just before.

Similar to what Jiang Zhi said, he was really young. Although he was wearing a suit, Huo Suicheng thought that this person should be a college student who has just entered the society, and his unconcerned expression like he could see through a person at a glance.

But to be appreciated by Jiang Huai, Huo Suicheng didn’t believe that he was the kind of person he seemed on the surface.

“Huo Suicheng.”

“So you are Mr. Huo, I’ve heard much about you.”

Jiang Zhi had nothing to talk with him, so he glanced at the woman next to him, and said, “If there’s nothing more, I won’t keep Mr. Wen from having fun. I’m going first.”

Wen Yang hugged the woman beside him, “You misunderstood, this is my girlfriend, Su Yuanqing,”

Huo Suicheng looked at Su Yuanqing.

He had an impression of this name. He had met her twice, and in his dream once.

Su Yuanqing stood beside Wen Yang with a smile on her red lips. She was wearing a sexy blue embroidered cheongsam. Due to the weather, she was wrapped in a white fur shawl, her hair curled behind her head, revealing a white and slender neck, and two white pearl earrings. The earrings were mellow in color, complementing her whole body temperament, standing there quietly, like a gorgeous flower of wealth and noble, which was unforgettable at first glance.

“Hello, Mr. Huo. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Su Yuanqing held out her hand to him.

Huo Suicheng didn’t reach out and just looked at her.

Su Yuanqing took back her hand and lifted her hair to ease her embarrassment. “Mr. Huo seems to have an opinion on me.”

There are various styles of gestures, sultry and an unknowing rare beauty.#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

Huo Suicheng lowered his eyebrows, “I never have an opinion on strangers.”

He glanced at Jiang Zhi, “Let’s go.”

The two passed by Wen Yang and Su Yuanqing.

Su Yuanqing turned her head and looked at Huo Suicheng who had disappeared at one end of the corridor, with a frustrated expression on her face.

In fact, she didn’t know why. When Huo Suicheng met her at the dance party three years ago, he should be so obsessed with her that he would even take her by force.

But at that dance, Huo Suicheng was not obsessed with her, he didn’t even ask her name and left in a hurry.

Huo Suicheng was not easy to get close to. She tried to approach Huo Suicheng again and again, but she couldn’t do anything until she appeared on the beach of Luming mountain a year ago.

At that time, it was impossible for Huo Suicheng to fail to notice her, but Huo Suicheng just let people drive her out of the beach and didn’t like her at all.

But the plot is obviously not like this.

Fortunately, although she couldn’t have Huo Suicheng, there’s still Wen Yang on her side.

About giving up on Huo Suicheng, Su Yuanqing had hesitated for a long time.

After all, Huo Suicheng’s appearance fits her aesthetic 100%. In contrast, Wen Yang looks much more immature.

But think about it, Huo Suicheng is destined to be Wen Yang’s defeat, and Su Yuanqing, who couldn’t get close to Huo Suicheng, had a lot of balance in her heart now.

“What are you looking at?” Wen Yang asked her softly in her ear.

""

Su Yuanqing quickly sorted out her expressions and smiled at him, “It’s nothing, I just think that this Mr. Huo… is very disrespectful.”

Wen Yang looked at Huo Suicheng’s departure direction with a heavy expression, and the heavy desire in his eyes was clearly revealed, “The boss of Huo Group, of course he cares for nobody.”

“Wen Yang, you have to work hard, I don’t want to be ignored again in the future.”

“Well, after you become Mrs. Wen, no one dares to ignore you, even if he is Huo Suicheng.”

Su Yuanqing smiled and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

——

In the parking lot under the Qianlong Club, Huo Suicheng and Jiang Zhi got on the car after parting.

The Bentley slowly pulled out of the parking lot.#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

He glanced at the time, it’s eleven o’clock sharp.

Then he took a look at his phone. There was no important message.

At 11:30, Bentley drove slowly into the Huo Mansion.

The lights on the third floor were all off, leaving only the living room on the first floor’s light was still on, waiting for him to come back.

Huo Suicheng stepped into the living room and saw Aunt Zhao coming up from the downstairs.

“Aunt Zhao, you are still up?”

“You’re back? I haven’t finished with a few things, so I’ll go to sleep later.”

“Okay.”

Huo Suicheng raised his feet to go upstairs, stepped on a step then turned back, “Did Xiaoxiao still have a stomachache today? She didn’t make a fuss, right?”

Aunt Zhao smiled helplessly after hearing the words: “After you left, she took a dump three times. I fed her some probiotics. She finally felt better at dinner time. After a day of sulking, she went upstairs without eating anything for dinner. Just coax her tomorrow.”

She didn’t eat dinner?

“I see. Rest early.”

Huo Suicheng raised his foot and walked upstairs.

Pushing open the door of Huo Xiaoxiao’s room, with the dim bedside lamp in the room, Huo Suicheng saw Huo Xiaoxiao lying on the bed. She seemed to be angry in her dream, she was pouting and frowning.

He raised his head and touched Huo Xiaoxiao’s forehead. The temperature was normal, so he felt relieved and tuck her in and left.

Back in his room, Huo Suicheng simply took a shower, then the door creaked open.

""

Huo Xiaoxiao was wrapped in a small white blanket, covering her from head to toe. Like a ghost, she walked from the door to the side of the bed by the window and squatted down to hide.

Huo Suicheng came out of the bathroom, threw his bathrobe on the sofa in front of the bed, put out the light. When he just lay down, the “little ghost” hidden on the other side of the bed stood up.#pleasereadthischapterat foxaholic.com

Huo Suicheng was shaken by the shadow outside the window. He seemed to feel something was wrong. He opened his eyes in a trance, and a white ghost image appeared in front of him like in the movie.

Huo Suicheng was taken aback when he was caught off guard. His heart was out of control and beated so fast. He half-sat up, leaning on the head of the bed and frowned, while taking a few deep breaths.

But he was quick to get back on his senses.

He turned on the bedside lamp, he stretched out his hand and pulled the blanket that covered the head.

Under the blanket, Huo Xiaoxiao looked at her father and said, “Daddy, are you asleep? I’m so angry that I can’t sleep.”
